Ugh, I'm just going to wait until late tonight to do my dailies.

There is so much QQing going on that my thread with a legitimate question gets pushed back.

Also, what exactly do they look like?

What's the respawn timer on them and how many spawn at a time?

Is anyone else not able to find a chest? I've been the only one here for about 25 mins and can't find one. The patch notes said that the chests were put back in. Thanks in advance.

Tried searching for another thread on this, but none of them answered my question specifically. There are a lot of whiny threads about Republic players complaining they can't get purple crystals when the Empire has so many. My question is simple: Is it possible to obtain a purple crystal as a Republic player? And if so, how? Thank you in advance.

Not if everyone is dead, right?

The FAQ answered all my questions. Thank you OP.

Easy to say that in hindsight. Earlier in the FP, we would've lost against Bulwark if our DPS hadn't respawned at Medcenter midfight.

Okay this is an issue that I've encountered twice. But tonight, it was unacceptable. Is there any particular reason why there aren't medcenters in flashpoints? I ask because every time you die in a flashpoint, you are sent back to Carrick Station. It takes a while to load and is extremely annoying. There is also another consequence of returning to Carrick. While back at Carrick, you do not get credit for mission objectives completed by your group in the flashpoint. You also are not allow to roll for gear. This happened to me at the final boss of Directive 7. I (the healer) died against the final boss and returned to medcenter to try and get back in the fight. While i was gone, they beat the boss, rolled on his drop without me, and the group disbanded right after. I did not get credit for the boss kill, did not get to participate in the roll (which was just peachy because I had not won a single roll the entire time), and when I reentered the FP without the group I started at the beginning. The quest reset. I essentially wasted 2 hours doing a Flashpoint and got nothing but xp from killing enemies. This is a problem that needs to get fixed. And I have thought of a solution. In my own estimation, the reason for the current design is that they don't want fallen group members to get back in the fight. That's fair. To solve that, do not allow respawns until after the entire party dies. Next, to eliminate the loading time, put medcenters before every major boss in the flashpoint. It would just make Flashpoints a lot more convenient and not take two hours. Oh yeah, and people wouldn't get ripped off like i did either.
