@Swtorista honestly you are doing such great job with these guides, I really think the developers should hire you and the other community members creating content like this to create proper ingame guides like this! I think developers often forget that not everyone who might be interested in MMO like SWTOR might have ever played any other MMO before so learning about everything on their own might be daunting task for many. So keep up the good work, its great to see that even after so many years you still keep making more guides both to beginners and returning players alike! :)

The dps should be killing weak to strong not going after what the tank is attacking. This will help the healer from drawing agro, and make the non-boss fights go a lot smoother. When I tank I can tell the dps know their job if the elite is the last thing to die in any given mob. Any level DPS should be able to solo on one strong or 3 weaks per fight

Most of the time, yes. But there are a few exceptions. For example, when fighting Malgus in the new Corellia FP it's actually better to ignore the adds and focus on Malgus himself. Once he's dead the adds are easy prey, but trying to fight them while Malgus is still alive is hopeless because he keeps spawning more and more and you will get overwhelmed.

I gave up saying it's my first time in flashpoints for a while, because it was clear nobody was listening, they were still rushing ahead, expecting me to know every weird speedrun trick, and yelling "skiiiip" during the cutscenes (this was stuff like Hammer Station where they're really short, too). But after I ran Kaon Under Siege for the first time and it ended with a particularly annoying player typing "....." in the chat a bunch of times when everyone didn't do everything perfectly and ending the run by saying "**** run," I decided to give it a shot for my run of Lost Island (I was queueing for specific ones). As soon as I could, I said "hi, first time, won't skip cutscenes" and it was the chillest run I've ever had, no weird shortcuts (don't know if the flashpoint has any), they made sure we got all the holorecordings, and nobody rushed me during the one conversation there was.

11:00 My rule of thumb with Need/Greed in group finder is Need only if you can use that item (ie, its a better helm than what you have), greed anything you would just sell to vendors or common mats, and pass on anything you honestly don't even want to go through the trouble of selling. In OPs groups I run, I have Master Looter on and keep track of everyone's loot. I say "Who needs this item?" Whoever needs the item and has needed the least of those people gets the item. In ties, a /roll commences. If no one needs the item, then a greed roll occurs which I don't keep track of (since its just greed).

Compared to some other online games I've played, swtor has a reasonably friendly environment, so communication is easy. One thing I find useful is to ask, at the start, if people want to play quickly or not. In my experience, most people are okay with playing the whole mission, including bonuses, if one of the players wants to do that, but you need to tell them that that's what you want. Similarly, it pays for veteran players to ask if everyone is familiar with the special quirks of the boss fights (if any). That can save a lot of frustration.

I just got into this game, and some of the newbie level 10 flash points are fucking hard! My first one was the uh, Foundry. I got creamed a lot, and the evil robot guy smashed me with the engine thing the first time and I had no idea. I've since ran a few others, and they vary in difficulty. Some are really easy like Black Talon, and some are pretty challenging like uh, one where I had to fight a bounty hunter who used fire a lot. We actually all died, and one guy carried that fight from 60% to dead over the course of like 20 minutes. It was nuts. ------------- People have been incredibly helpful so far, and I've never been kicked out yet. I'll tell everyone I'm new, and that I'm back for the EXP promotion, and woah, there's an expansion? I thought this game was dead? We joke about Warcraft. I miss Warcraft, but there's a reason why I'm on Swtor. I've died a lot, and people will wait before a boss fight and explain the mechanics, and one time I got battle-rezzed like 8 times. I didn't even know you could do that in this game. Another time a guy who queued up as a non-lightsaber dps class volunteered to leave and re-queued in as his tank. He's the guy mentioned in the above story who soloed the crazy fire-loving bounty hunter. Another player actually rage-quit during that 20 minute fight, because he wanted the tank to just wipe it and restart. But honestly, if he was willing to drop his leveling too to come and carry us with his epic character--I was all about letting him have some fun and glory soloing that encounter. Me and the other dps guy who didn't rage quit just talked about the Star Wars lore while we watched the epic fight. And then we all cheered when he won. It was close a lot of the time. Him constantly bouncing between 50% and 10%. I do hate that the harder instances are surprisingly challenging to new players, and I'll greatly appreciate the list provided on which ones to avoid. I love running group content, but I don't love dying all the time or being a liability. Thanks again for the guide.

those Rakghoul flaspoints were super hard when they first came out.. Kaon Under Siege and what was the other one called? Lost Island. I remember Lost island being particularly difficult, the second boss (the droid) was very hard if you didn't have the right comp. by that I mean a tank 2 ranged dps and a healer. If yuou had that group setup, he was much easier as the tank could almost stand still as the debuff put on the person second highest on the threatmeter would be placed somewhere where it won't bother anyone. If you had a melee dps, it could land on him, needing you to reposition the boss all the time. it was just way harder, it was like an extra hardmode playing with melee. the WoW term "don't stand in fire" also applies here. standing in bad stuff is.. well, bad :) the good stuff to stand in is usually green or purple (the sorcerer aoe heal). speaking of silly things to click on, I clicked on the thing that activates the world boss on Tattooine and Voss haha, he jumped up and instant killed me, I was startled by it hahaha. I thought it was a lore object.

Two major pet peeves in random group finder FPs for me. First, when a new player doesn't speak up ahead of time and let the group know they're new to the game or that particular FP. Most are a lot more patient when they know the person is brand spankin' new & not just a bad player, and will share tips and helpful directions. Second, the player who pulls everything in sight causing multiple wipes and makes the whole thing take a lot longer. When asked by the rest of the group to cut it out they'll exclaim something along the lines of "EXP!!!!!!!"

Yes, that can be annoying. One problem is that a lot of new players simply don't realize that there might be a specific trick to a boss-fight, so they don't even realize that they should be asking. It's not a bad idea to check before the fight and ask if everyone knows how to play it. The second... Yeah. That was the only time I voted to kick a player who was still active. If it happens by accident, fine, but when someone starts to actively look for more groups to pull, that's it.

I believe a little patience goes a long way, and therefor I dont agree with alot that was said in this vid. The mechanics are useful of course. But dont hesitate, in my opinion, to queue for a FP when lvl 15. When you want to see the vids in a FP, just say so (ask). In my experience ppl usually understand. Some FP that are dead easy with a full group of geared 70's can de troublesome when too many of then team are low lvl, undergeared and dont know what to do. Ths can be frustrating, and in some cases makes the FP (nearly) impossible, like in the case of FP Nathema. I usually just explain this to the low lvl, and they leave, no biggie. If a high lvl doesnt like it they leave. Their choice. Point is, we play this game together. It is an MMO. Just communicate. If you want to do something specific (fast run for weekly/ daily) and you dont want to ' put up' with low lvls who dont know how to do a fast run, form guild groups and get more CQ :P. Of course this goes for Veteran Mode FP's. For Master Mode FP I agree with what Sworista said, I think.

This video could've been titled "I learned everything I ever needed to know about doing flashpoints when I was five." It's a great video for new players. We would wait for noobs to watch the cut scenes, before solo mode flashpoints came out. I've been the ops/raid tanks for various guilds and games I've played in. The worse players when it comes to pulling aggro before the tanks in SWTOR are Marauders/Sentinels aka Maratards and Sentards. We had a Maratard named Tree, in our guild and he would always aggro the mob, or do the double lightsaber throw and aggro the mob behind the one we're fighting. Of course you could hear me and/or the other tank yell "GODDAMIT TREE!!!, over mumble. It got so bad that our guild master forbade him from using his Marauder in ops. Fun times. If you ever get a chance look up "rules for marauders on the swtor forums." It's pretty funny. On a serious note, can you solo uprisings? I would like to know because that would help our command points. Once again, great video and love your work. Thanks!

If the user interface vanished and you have no way of telling the other people in the group that it happened because the chat window also vanished when you started the flashpoint, instead of quitting try holding down CONTROL and pressing U several times. This usually reloads the UI. This bug is incredibly annoying.

I like how I can't do any of this! Can't queue for a flashpoint. Can't filter flashpoints. What a fun game!!!!! This game goes out of its way to make it difficult for new players to the point where it's best to move on to an MMO where the developers care. Why would I pay for a game where I can't even enjoy all of the content? "We just gave you the Hammer Station quest!" "You want to do the mission? HAHAHAHASHAHAHAHAHA NO!!!!!!!!! At every point, this game has made me feel like they don't want new players, let alone help them.

fyi if you are new and trying to do random fp's be warned, there are rude max lvl 75 players who have been playing for years expecting everyone else to know how to do the fp's that will kick if you watch cutscenes or pull 1 extra group of mobs.... Had to learn this the hard way. People are actually that petty in this game.

Don't know why am I watching this? I like your vid and content, that must be it. I've never been or wanted to try a group finder fp. I don't like being put into one box: I'm a free spirit! I have my own stats and not according to the class specs; all my classes have the same specs with shield and absorption defense. #solointrovert4ever P. S. I still haven't figure out how to send a reply since my cybercafé doesn't have a lot of Qwerty keyboards, so with an Azerty, I can't do any reply which might sound rude for many so I blocked most chats.

I must have looked like the biggest douche when in DF Czerka Labs I left after the second boss, believing it to be the last (second and third bosses are both human males). I was like, "ty, bye" and quit the group. Only about 5 minutes later did I notice I still had the quest. I even entered the instance to see the map, and there was an entire new area after that boss.

Still don't know how to get OUT of groupfinder after I've done a few flashpoints and its time for bed. I'm trying to finish up a few things before logging off, and it's continuing to try and put me in the next flashpoint, and I'm like; no, I'm done, leave me alone! The groupfinder is hardly perfect.

@Warhaawk

Copero is ALOT easier with a good stealther. The stealth goes straight to the bot boss while the rest of the group waits at the landing pad. Once the stealther gets there the rest of the group jumps off the landing pad and respawns right at the bot boss. Blood hunt isn't so bad if everyone stays in the center as much as possible during the platform fight & sperate fast when needed, and ranged stay to the edges during the final fight. The only real problem is that these fights can be unforgiving to bad/idiot players, as well as to anyone getting hit with heavy lag bursts.

First things first, great guide. Some great infos for making a newbies life probably easier in flashpoints (mine as well, because this is my first mmorpg, since i recently replayed the complete Kotor series before TOR) So thumps up first👍. But i got one thing i must disagree with. 1:20 "If this is your first time.. better use the chat of the fleet" Imho No. First it can take ages and mostly important the groupfinder/pug tool is literally matchmaking. Matchmaking is made for new players. Am i correcly by saying that this tool was not there from the start? If so, and pls correct me if im wrong, than thats the reason behind it, it was added because the game itself was watered down to cater to new ppl. Just saying, because saying things like that can scare new players off using it and i already read stuff like that here in the comments. Of course, as a new player you can join a guild and run flashpoints with them but this should be rather the case for ppl who wanna speedrun them and playing with their own experienced group "Ppl who knowing their buddies toilett schedule times😁), this is not the purpose of the matchmaker/groupfinder. And yes, i know that you can matchmake for extreme difficulty settings but thats another thing you explained corretly later in the video, but at that moment you sad that, it sounded very generalized to me. Some friend of mine who played the game recently told me, that he was kicked from several flashpoints, because of just watching the cutscenes. Although this never happed to me(Mostly just some "press spacebar" spammers, who are also quit annoying) this was the main reason i wrote this.

I agree that's not how groupfinder should work, you should just match up and go. But so many players have expressed that they had experiences like your friend that I would rather scare someone a bit than have them run in to that situation.
