[edit] Core cinematics

HA's Ghostly Hero rants are the only core cinematics, aren't they? —ZerphaThe Improver 08:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Probably. I've been thinking, but I can't think of any more core cinematics. -Why 10:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Just came to think of it, GvG-matches start with a cinematic. There's even a ghostly hero-like voice telling you: "This base belongs to our party. Destroy anyone who stands in our path." I think one article is enough for that. —Why 18:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Not a bad idea — Seru Talk 19:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minions

the second note states that minions don't lose health during cinematics. Is this really true? Maybe i'm wrong, but i could actually remember that some of my hero's minions once died during a faction mission cinematic. —ZerphaThe Improver 08:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

There was an update awhile ago that freezes everyone's health during cinematics, including minions. I've had cinematics where minions would attack random NPCs for the duration which was always amusing, and of course Vizunah Square where they will turn on you after Shiro kills the players. But yeah, it wasn't always like that, so maybe you're remembering an incident before the update. I personally haven't seen minions die during cinematics for a long time now.

Yeah, that was quite funny, i heard them dieing in the background, and sometimes also falling behind the party leader. But the page still says they would attack others. I can remember that they once attacked the Hunger for example, but idk whether that's still the case. —ZerphaThe Improver 12:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Voice Bug

Occationaly a Female Character will use a Male's Voice (and vis versa) Treesbyty 18:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I haven't seen that, but i can see it being possible. — Seru Talk 18:16, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I've also had this, during unwaking waters it was, however it's pretty hard to prove it since screenies can't talk. A male character was leading the mission but at the end the cutscene used my paragon's voice, other party members noticed it too.Muesli 12:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah seen this in a lot of cinematics. Our poor little guildie (female char) was nicknamed Transvestite cause of that :P --MageMontu 12:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Huh. Never seen this. Could someone provide the steps to recreate? Backsword 12:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Always happens to me at the end of Vizunah Square, on female characters. — Why 16:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I have made a video that shows some bugs in Cinematics. Here is the link. [1] Treesbyty 01:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I added your video to the Vizunah Square (cinematics) article :) — Why 12:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

This has happened to me and a friend at unwaking waters(kurz side). Had a couple laughs over it. 216.119.178.127 12:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] [2]

That's only in Vizunah Square (cinematics), right? I might have missed something, but if that is the only occurrence, I don't really see a point in listing it on the main cinematic page.. And good to see you around Seru :) — Why 01:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Its been pointed out in more than one. Id rather have it listed there, because its likely an annomily that can occur anywhere. — Seru Talk 05:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

ok — Why 12:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Upload cinematics?

Do you think that it would be possible to upload every cinematics, so you would be able to watch them at any time, and not only by redoing a mission just to see a cinematic you missed? lat 21:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

That would be luverly =) But it would likely cause bandwidth issues on the Wiki. Anyways, i wouldn't need it, because i have every Cinematic on my Harddisk allready =) Lukasn (talk|contribs) 21:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I guess it is technically possible, but not legally. As far as I know we can't really upload film on this site, and uploading them on youtube would, I think, be copyright infringement. I might be wrong though, User:Indochine should know more about it. — Why 21:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mission Time

Do middle/end cutscenes count towards the mission time? 87.194.249.85 10:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I think they did but I believed that was fixed.. not sure though, might as well skip them if you're going for masters. — Why 19:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
