If that is the case, submit a ticket. It is probably a bug. If changing ops leader didn't do it, then you can only try again the next day and see if that fixes it

Its not an issue. You need to set the operation challenge mode to hardmode. The leader needs to rick click their picture and go to "Phase" and set the challenge mode.

I have run this twice since the patch on Hardmode, and have had it bug the first time (usually) but then after a reset and reclear, it works fine. Same for normal mode.

The first operation I rank on my juggernaut as the main tank I ran in full champ gear. I had absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. Even in our hardmode raids we still have people that come in mostly PvP gear (not BM gear) and never hit enrage timers, and never have issues of people dying (unless they are being idiots, which can happen even with full rakata). I find that for normal EV, you need atleast 13k HP, and for normal KP you need atleast 15k hp (bonethrasher's swipe hits for about 8k ish). When you step it up to hardmode, you need about 15k hp to run EV HM, and 16k minimum for KP HM. For the most part, people who know the fights and are competent can run on a character with lower HP because their skill/knowledge makes up for the lack of gear.

Let me get this right; You are saying that the DPS gear has a useless set bonus for the TANK spec?.. Who would have thought...

I too do not enjoy going into a warzone and being 8 imperials against 12 republics. Oh wait, thats something different.

negative. Directive 7 does NOT need to be completed on normal first. You need to go to corellia and pick up the flashpoint from the droid in the first area you travel to outside of the starting area. You will get a quest called "Immediate Vengeance". Once you get that, you talk to a guy on the Ziost Shadow (Imperial) and then you get hte Directive 7 Flashpoint. You can then abandon it and talk to the droid at the entrance to the flashpoint and get the hardmode. Once you complete the hardmode, you will also complete immediate vengeance and then you are able to get the flashpoint from that droid everytime without having to go to corellia.

I had a similar issue, however mine only happened when I had a companion out. It would crash to desktop after about 15 seconds in the tunnel. It crashed about 6 times,a nd took me around 15 minutes to get out of the tunnel due to the constant crashing.

Black Talon: 30 - 45 minutes depending on who is running with us. Boarding Party: 60 - 75 minutes Foundry: 60 - 75 minutes Directive 7: 60 - 75 minutes Battle of Ilum: 80 - 120 minutes depending on if we wipe on krel False Emperor: 60 - 75 minutes These times are approximates, and they are done with a full columi jugg tank, and full columi healer, either operative or sorcerer. The DPS varies, most of the time when we run these it is to get gear for new 50's.

Once the shield takes enough damage, it will overload. Atleast on hardmode... Read the tooltip on the shield buff on him and it should tell you. When I run this on HM, we let the ship get to 200% then kill it. Most of the time it works, however its quite buggy other times. We had it bug out so that we killed the ship once, and it was gone, but still firing missiles at us. we just kept hitting the button a few more times and the ship was gone in less than 30 seconds in the fight.

I ran this a few weeks ago, and have yet to go back in since, but I didnt even bother kiting him. He barely did any damage when he wasn't in the frenzy, and with 2 healers its not that difficult to heal through it. At the time, I had mostly champion gear on and a few columi pieces. maybe 19k health on my juggernaut. In fact, the only boss I couldn't sit still and soak up damage from was karagga.

I have a 5/5 columi set on my juggernaut for tanking. I also have a full champion set. The difference between the columi and champion armor and such is quite big. However, I see no reason to use the columi saber over the champion saber for PvE on my juggernaut. Sure it gives more shield chance and a little more defense rating, but I don't think that outweighs the difference in endurance. I may be wrong.. Also, to answer your question, yes I was looking at the new rakata gear today after the patch. It's just a bit silly imo... The BM saber is a bi tbetter, but not really worth it either. It gives a minimal increase in stats, but 37 defense rating less than the champion..

Why is it that the PvP weapons are better than the equivalent PvE weapons?... For example, on my jugg I have the champion war leaders saber. It gives 26 endurance more, and only has less strength, shield rating, and defense rating. But, the defense rating is only 19 more, and shield is 48 more than the columi equivalent (Soresu's razor) Then when you look at the rakata saber, Darth Sion's Lightsaber, its even worse! Darth Sion's saber gives: +6 max dmg +4 min dmg +27 str -8 end +51 accuracy +7 force power +57 absorb -38 defense rating So tell me, why does the champion saber give more endurance and defense rating than the rakata saber? The columi one may ALMOST be worth it due to the increased shield rating and defense rating, but it should still have equal if not more endurance than the champion.

I have 5/5 columi set on my juggernaut, so I don't need the mods from the dailies. I just wanted to try to get them quicker. There is not much of a difference between the rakata and columi implants, so I was thinking I would grind whatever dropped them and do dailies at the same time so that I could work on getting either one quicker.

So I was looking through the columi vendor and noticed that the implants can only be bought with tokens. I know the schematics can drop in ops, but where canyou get the tokens?

For Bulwark, you need to have decently geared DPS's, and you need to know what you are doing. I have run this every day for the last week and have'nt wiped a single time. We use 5/5 DPS's for it. We ran is last night with an operative DPS, sniper DPS, sorc healer, and myself as a jugg tank. As many people ahve already said, CC the droids when they come out. They will dissappear when the next set spawns. This is very much a DPS race, but its easily doable. As for the interrogator, we have found its usually our sniper that gets cloned multiple times. So we just have him leave the area for the fight, and pull out a DPS companion and it works fine. This is probably one of the hardest instances I have done so far, the only thing close is the final boss on BP. It is not something you can do with people that are not geared or don't know what they are doing. If you do not have well geared group members, then don't waste your time.

You complain that republics cant get the purple crystal. Well, what if I, as a sith, want the cyan crystal? Guess what? I can't get it. So suck it up and quite whining. Or you can go back to WoW. Preferably the latter. Oh, and you can pull the purple crystal out of the columi weapons. Granted its bound, but you can still put it in orange weapons.
