Thanks everyone, good info!

Does anyone have info on min DPS and EHPS requirements for HM and NiM Ops in 4.0? Mainly interested in metrics for the Ops beyond EV/KP.

You cannot solo Operations, you must be in an Ops group to even enter them. Companions will not work in Ops either. Some people have two manned some of the bosses in Ops however.

Absolutely agree, went in there tonight with a melee heavy group and it was pretty bad. The look of the fire is nice but you have to keep it visible as long as it's putting out damage.

Kindread, I got stuck like this too. I think any toon that was partially through Forged Alliances Pt1 got messed up by the reset. I submitted a ticket which basically told me the same things you can read in the KB... My solution was what iusCogens mentioned earlier, just queue for the one you need to complete it, then you will be back on track to run the next one solo if you wish.

How can anyone who raids in this game not see that basically walking through an Ops without killing a boss but getting loot is an exploit? I dunno, I would hope that most players period (any way you measure it) would not use an exploit, I guess I don't get the appeal of cheating anywhere but especially in a game like this. I do like progressive raiding and the fun to me is eventually beating and earning the rewards, not having loot just handed to you for doing nothing.

And the last boss does not drop 168 set bonus gear in SM...

Just logged off, it is really bad at the moment and yes I also noticed a smaller number of instances, with high #'s in those instances. We had 94 and rising in one of two instances on Rishi

I abandoned the mission I had since I had started in FP mode and was able to start in solo mode. You have to restart it from the new terminal on your ship to get the solo mode option. That said, the lag makes it unplayable so far

If it is this bad now, it will be even worse later. Agreed, it is unplayable currently

16 is much more forgiving generally. They should add at least one ultimate comm to bosses in 8M

Right click issues happen with Naga's, you'll get a fair amount of Google hits on the topic. I had 2 fail me and since then have switched to a new mouse. As much as I love the Naga, my new Anker has been perfect so far.

You're right, I missed that point when reading the post. LOL, yes scavenging during a boss fight is a fail

I wouldn't call this an issue to be honest. I will scavenge metals or bio when I can in a HM FP. I will only take one if I am in a PUG, but I've never had anyone tell me to stop not would I ask anyone else not to scavenge.

A few nights a week, I run with my static Ops group. Outside of that and on nights with no static, I will usually run a few dailies for credits, HM FP's or join a guild event. There is a lot to do at 55.

This FP is a joke now. Before it was at least a challenge and at least a small accomplishment if you completed it. Now anyone can get through this. I hate to see all the challenging content being nerfed.

Nope, just a meaningless tank stat that for some reason we have to take. Maybe it is just to make our animations look cooler ...

Agreed, the basic gear is a mess, not sure what the designer was thinking when they allocated stats to it.

Thanks for the explanation and it makes sense, I understood KBN's thread as well. What I don't understand is looking at the "Basic" gear, is there is so little defense on it. The one piece I see has defense and alacrity I think. A lot of the pieces have shield/absorb combo's. It is going to be a challenge from what I can see to get to the target numbers or anywhere close as near as I can tell. What was the thought process behind the gear stats anyway?

Thanks for putting this together, very nice

You may want to post this in the CS fourm but when I had the key removed from my account (due to the bug that was going around) I was not able to use the vendor or even use the fleet passes I had purchased from him in my inventory. Once I added the key back and it was active on my account, then I could use the vendor again (and the passes).

Well it took me about 2 1/2 months for my first 50. I had a couple of alts I played some in addition to my main. What boggles my mind is the articles says many people were average 40 hours a week! And some were pulling 120 hours/week I love this game and play it actively as much as I can but if I even came close to 40 hours a week in game, I would not have a wife, family or much of anything else except for SWTOR. I mean, if you are going to devote that kind of time to the game, just wow...

Well, some say the elevator boss in KP is the most deadly one of all .... "Please do not step off the elevator" followed by an "uh oh" or worse, usually equals a wipe

Yes your Sage cc will work (as will a commando/,merc cc). The only difference is those have a cool down so you won't be able to cc the next claw which will spawn before your CD. If you don't have a droid cc (smuggler/agent or sent/mara), just work it out with the people you have. That said, at some point you will be able to heal through it anyway.
