rgizzie Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Ok...since I have turned lvl 50 about a month ago all I do is pvp. But I am so sick of the grind I wanted to do some pve last night. I couldn't figure out how to do or even tell that I am about to do a flashpoint in hardmode. I went to pick up the quest again and it still says the lower level. Is it automatic or something when you are lvl 50 or do you have to do something prior to making it hardmode. Thanks and please try not to flame away at this.
Englisheart Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 You need to do the normal modes first mate, that being said i done all the normal modes on my way to 50 but had to do some again at 50 to allow me to do the hard modes...a bug prolly

xQuicksilverx Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Do not listen to that guy who says you need to do all normal modes. For republic you only need to do normal mode taral V/Maelstrom Prison before you can do hard mode. Same is true with the empire mirror flashpoints (boarding party and whatever the other one is). False emporer, directive 7, battle of ilum and kaon do not need to have normal mode done first. If you are uncertain if you are entering a normal or hard mode, look on the purple entrence, if it has a funky looking symbol on it, its hard mode, if not, then its normal.

Flashpoints are freakin fun, my friends and i are doing them over and over again and it's always fun lol.

My question is then how does one pick normal or hard mode?
Lord_of_Stone Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) My question is then how does one pick normal or hard mode? TBH IM not entirely sure if there is a requirement to do HMs, like these people are saying. Regardless, if there are, and youve met them, what you do is talk to the FP quest giver, in the very begining or very end of the conversation, you will get an option (in conversation) top choice will be "Begin Normal Mode" and bottom choice will be "Begin Hard Mode". Some FPs dont have hardmodes. That would be all the FPs on the mission departure deck of carrack/vaiken space station. HM available are: Black Talon/Esseles, Boarding Party/Taral V, Maelstrom Prison/The Foundry, Directive 7, The False Emperor, The Battle for Ilum. I might be missing a couple, but Hammer station, Mandalorian Raiders, etc, dont have Hard modes. EDIT: Also, Hard modes apparently have daily lockouts, that arent listed anywhere. If you complete a hard mode, you wont be able to do that FP again in hardmode that day. Edited February 10, 2012 by Lord_of_Stone

I knew there had to be an option at some point to pick one or the other.
