uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I would like, just once, to actually be able to finish Oricon on a character... But I'm not in a guild and I never do content that isn't solo, so I've no idea where to even begin finding anyone to do it with me. I'm on Darth Malgus server I also am a little worried even if I do find a group to try do it, they'll skip all the cutscenes that I've never seen before, cos obviously these folks are likely sick and tired seeing them. Cos isn't it like a vote system for skipping them? Not even sure, like I said, solo. Only grouped about 5 times total. But yeah, I'd wanna see the story stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUHFB Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 the quest has you do two operations, yes the people will not wait for your cutscenes usually, but it's not like any of the bosses need 8 people at all. You can join any Dread Fortress, and after that you need to do Dread Palace - that's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 But if you tell them at the very beginning that you'd like to watch the cutscenes, they might be willing to let you do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'd wanna see the story stuff The 'skip' system is not exactly 'voted'. There's no vote involved - just everyone needs to press 'spacebar' to skip. If you don't hit SB then the cutscene won't be skipped. Of course, you might aggravate the other players and get whined at, but ... 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuvonDrake Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 might wanna join some of the larger conquest guilds, they usually organize events where they run new players through operations at a slow pace, if ur just in it for the story tho you can just watch it on youtube, there is no difference between that and actually doing it ingame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanmf Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just do the Operation with randoms. The cutscenes don't happen inside of it but once you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, there are a few conversational cutscenes inside the two Dread ops, but nothing that's "story-influencing", just setting the scene for big fights.

Wasn't 80 yet when I got to where I should be doing Oricon, so I'm gonna finish SoR first then do it. I'll be 80 then Edited January 3, 2023 by uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, obviously it's not the same but you can always goto YouTube and watch nearly every cut-scene in the game whenever you want. Just sayin'.

I didn't spend all this time making my character look sweet to NOT see them in these scenes. Rather than some random youtuber with an ugly look. And I have seen the scenes before, years ago. I looked them up back then, didn't really enjoy watching them for the reasons above, and remember very little about them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anysao Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 OP just want to clarify a few things since I haven’t seen anyone actually condense their (helpful) comments into one message: 1: There are cutscenes in the Operations before the final bosses 2: However, these cutscenes do not have dialogue options, and are mostly just dramatic openings to the fight 3: Everyone in the group can spacebar cutscenes to skip them- but not everyone is dragged into skipping then! If all 7 other players skip them, but you don’t, you still get to watch the cutscene! 4: All cutscenes are very brief and your group likely won’t even notice you’re in them. 5: There are two operations you have to do: Dread Fortress then Dread Palace. You must do them in that order. 6: After each operation, there is a brief cutscene with dialogue choices. It’s not in the instanced area and you won’t be with your group still, so you are free to take as much time as you want with them! In order to get full story completion, you must engage in a short cutscene between Dread Fortress and Dread Palace (don’t make my mistake). 7: Story mode of both Operations are pretty easy and you won’t have trouble finding a group. Just do your best and you’ll probably learn a bit, too. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Also note that people often use the cutscenes as an opportunity to take a bio break, let the dog out, make a coffee, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
