Can a dev chime in? What is the correct reason cutscene doesn't play?

[BlackSpectre]

Hi,

 

What is the correct reason the cutscene in the Behavioral Adjustment Facility incarnate trial sometimes doesn't play?

 

I have heard 3 theories:

 

1. It's a bug. They're supposed to play every time, but randomly don't. The gent that told me this said the bug has been attempted to be fixed several times, but has been unsuccessful. He said it was in the patch notes... but I've searched through the patch notes, and I couldn't find it mentioned.

 

2. If anyone on the league uses a door to enter the BAF, then the cutscene will play. Otherwise if you jump over the wall it will not play.

 

3. If anyone on the league has not completed a BAF, then the cutscene will play. Otherwise it won't. But if this is true, is it character who hasn't completed a BAF on that day?Within a few hours? Ever? Is it account based?

 

Thanks in advance.

This was one of the features added in Issue 20. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Incarnates_Ascend#Automatic_Cut_Scene_Skipping_In_Incarnate_Trials

Automatic Cut Scene Skipping In Incarnate Trials

If all the characters in a League have successfully completed an Incarnate Trial, the introductory cut scene for the Trial is automatically skipped so you can dive straight into the game action. Interstitial cut scenes (those in the middle of a Trial) are not skipped.

 

This is per-character and has no expiry on it, as far as I know.

I didn’t even think to look in the old live patch notes! Thank you so much!!!
