Sir-Coffee Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Is HK-51 in 1.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendar Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It is just a random HK-51 that our characters find lying around in the Fatality crash on Hoth.....mind you the Fatality was a ship carrying a load of HK-51s after the factory they were built in was destroyed by HK-50s so saying it is random might not be the most accurate statement, but you know I've completely lost where I meant to go with this and I just can't stop typing. Bottom line, yeah HK-51 is a different (and improved) droid from HK-47. Ah, should be interesting really, I wonder if it'll be the same planet you find him on.

kabeone Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/20634-e3-2012-darth-hater-interview-with-daniel-erickson Some info in the article on getting HK51. You may need a imp and a pub to get him. Sounds interesting. Spoiler contains snippets from the article relevant to hk51 HK-51 — you talked about how he’s coming with new missions, etc. and you’re basically unlocking him? HK-51 is actually part of the Legacy system. He is a very hard companion to get, and there is an incredible amount of work that you’ll have to do. I will say right now that if you do not have people on both sides of the war, you probably need to go roll somebody on the other side. There is great, great new types of gameplay, new types of quests. There is a whole section of it that’s old school adventure gamey survival horror where you’re really not doing combat stuff; you’re following puzzles and solving stuff instead. Makeb has a lot of the same experimentation. We developed so many new tools and new tech that we can do so much more with our quests now than we could before. We were chasing tech for so long that now the designers really just get to go in and be crazy creative. When you have a companion that’s going to all eight classes, is the dialogue going to differ at all? It has to, right? So how you get him, the quest to get him, his dialogue, when he’s with you… all of that is obviously very different if you just decided that you have an assassin droid as a Jedi Knight, which I will say is a bit startling to him, versus getting it as a Sith Warrior. So yeah, there are completely different forks because it is a 100% developed companion character. You’re going to need some really high level stuff to actually be able to unlock him because of how complicated his quest is. But after that, he is a Legacy unlock so you can then go and get him much earlier with other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranadiel_Marius Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I cannot wait to hear that again!!!! Thanks for the imput about the meatbags, but it wont be the same without it. Fyi just checked what I believe are his battle quotes, and HK-51 doesn't include master in his low health dialogue that comes closest(which is "Systems failing!").

mbountyhunter Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 As far as im concerned, if he's voiced by the same person as HK-47 and talks the same general way as HK-47, then he's a perfect substitute to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeverinTalyc Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 okay this is good and all. but what i want to know is how we get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisernick Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 okay this is good and all. but what i want to know is how we get it if its the same quests then here http://www.hotrodacc.com/swtor/comp.html it has a list of them unfinished. but do not take this as 100% solid evidance as they may have changed it for his realise.

Ranadiel_Marius Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 okay this is good and all. but what i want to know is how we get it You wait until 1.4(as it looks like he is not in 1.3) hits. Based on what we know at the moment it appears you will then do an unknown level 50 quest with on of your characters, do a mid-level quest with a character of the oppisite faction(or more likely have a to do a mid-level quest with both factions), and then he will be unlocked for your legacy. What him being unlocked for your legacy means is unknown at the moment, but I'm thinking it means that allcharacters in your legacy will be able to run his recruitment quest on Hoth when they are of sufficient level.

blazexts Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 As soon as i heard it takes a character on both factions i was like ''ugh really? fine... '' then i just started speed leveling my imperial which i am doing as I am typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I agree it's a shame there will not be the "meatbags" comment but I suppose that was extra programming. Been a while since I played the KOTOR games but if I remember right the programming was altered to refer to biologicals as meatbags by someone but can't exactly remember who. Hopefully there may be further companion customisation options that may allow us to customise the personality of HK a bit more where we may eventually get an option to add such options as using the word meatbag through reprogramming HK to suit our own individual preferences a bit more.

Silimaa Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The first time HK-47 met Malak Malak asked what HK thought of him. HK informed Malak of his 'meatbag' status and it amused Revan so much that he programmed HK to refer to all organics in that manner. LOL! I loved that bit of backstory...

As long as Kris Tabori does his voice, and he's cheerfully sociopathic, I can live without the meatbag comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silimaa Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Sigh... I want the REAL HK, not some HK-50. I mean, if HK-47 is fixed up by the Exile, by Revan, by Malak, by some guys 4000 years later, why can't we have the option of rebuilding him for ourselves???? Sniffle...

Ranadiel_Marius Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So is HK-51 in this patch i cant find him on hoth? To the best of my knowledge he has been pushed back to a later patch(probably 1.4) because they decided to make 1.3 a utility/ease of life patch as opposed to a content patch.
