You mean you fail on rolling, because there's no "loot system giving you stuff" for rakata items.

Melee get ***** because at some points of the combat, boss is buffing himself with "melee shield" (that lasts about 12sec). At that point every non-ranged dps/tank MUST stop dpsing, or will die really fast. It's all intended.

Black Talon would be a walk in a park even if you all would be 49 level, seriously. The False Emperor is simple, not bugged (...too much), entertaining. Battle of Ilum is also quite challenging for first clear, but then it's like 2nd BT (especially last boss is disappointing).

To all people who want enrage timer to be removed: I don't think you see word 'HARD' in HARDmode. It is supposed to be challenging. As some people already said in this thread - for some encounters it's the way to check if dps is doing good or not. With my guild we were able to clear most HMs with mostly blue items and that's ok, because we played together in other MMOs for quite a long time. If a newbie can't win a fight with his blue gear - that's is also ok. He has loads of easy dailies to upgrade his gear before doing HARDmodes. Do you really want to get same rewards for skilled players, who did put more effort to game and for ppl who just started to play a MMO? "If I can't get anything better than this 12 y/o kido who just dinged 50, why would I bother?"

Guys, the ONLY thing you have to do is make sure everyone in group has only normal or only hardmode quest and then reset phase.

Actually, 420 000 hp is normal for hard mode bosses. And I mean BOSSes (purple loot), not MINIBOSSes (tionese crystal only).

You can easily get Twin Suns entry on Tatooine.
