Fleurdelis Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 When are we gonna be able to start the quest for hk51. I was hoping by now since they announced it so long ago. Anyone have any knowledge on the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambunctious Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 They'll be saving all of the nicest stuff for F2P, and the cash shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidacid Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 They'll be saving all of the nicest stuff for F2P, and the cash shop. well they really do need to put in some more incentives to sub... I personally would have made it so only subscribers or people who purchase a special token from the cash shop can play the final class mission... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluain Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 HK-51 has frequently been mentioned in relation to Belsavis, so he is presumably coming out along with the Ancient Hypergates warzone, expected to follow 1.4 by about 6 weeks. This may well coincide with the move to F2P, but the schedule has not been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limenutpen Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 HK had to be like a secret mission, or an event type stuff.... We see what happens with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draekos Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 They'll be saving all of the nicest stuff for F2P, and the cash shop. Yup, kind of like the speeders and other stuff they pulled with 1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambunctious Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Yup, kind of like the speeders and other stuff they pulled with 1.2. Exactly. Instead of actually making new items for the cash shop, they took the lazy route in removing access to things that subscribers once had, and will reuse those items to milk more money from people who subscribe, as well as the free to play people. In effect, stealing content from people who stuck with the game, and reselling it back to them later.

I'm not saying you are wrong but I've yet to notice anything be removed and them announce it will be available later in the cash shop... provide an example Edited September 26, 2012 by Liquidacid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No proof, but about the same time they were most likely looking at the FTP change(several months before the actual announcement) most all of the Large speeders got removed, legacy went to heavy credit cost(not just legacy level), and a few other rare items left the game. I like this game and support BW and really hope I am wrong about this but it looks really obvious from my perspective that we will see them again in the shop and not in game as drops/rewards.

They have removed several vehicles, and flashpoint gear items from the game. Items that many people really desired to have, and went out of their way to aquire. They didn't just make them harder to get, they're gone from vendors, quests, and loot tables. They weren't removed because they were bugged either. Do you really believe they took them away as a reward to the players? There is no other reason for them to have been removed except as a way to pad their future cash shop with known desirable items. Why would they announce doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this game and support BW and really hope I am wrong about this but it looks really obvious from my perspective that we will see them again in the shop and not in game as drops/rewards. well the large speeders were supposedly removed because of all the people complaining about them so I doubt they will be coming back in the cash shop... the legacy system hasn't changed in price and in fact the last batch of character only things are cheaper that the crazy account wide only options we got at first... also what rare items were removed? I haven't noticed any Provide an example, lol. They have removed several vehicles, and flashpoint gear items from the game.

Why would they announce doing it? again all your doing are making assumptions without any actual proof... at least wait until there is some evidence to support your claim before crying about it Edited September 26, 2012 by Liquidacid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draekos Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Legacy wise again just old info versus what we got, in development alot was either or and on implemenation was both level and cash. Items wise it was mostly speeders and that was what I thought as well back then, but they are great items to monetize with the shop so only time will tell. I do expect to see white crystals in the Cash shop as well, but that wasnt really removed as they were limited time. Like I said I hope I am wrong, and if you look at my posts I am a big fan of the game, but something about the those changes looking back doesnt sit right with me so I posted it.

Hambunctious Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 No, man. You can still get large vehicles in the game, just not certain ones. If they wanted to do what you said, they would have removed all the large vehicles, not just the best looking. It wasn't just with the 1.2 update either since the flashpoint drops were removed in a July patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying we should at least wait and see if said items and content pop up in the cash shop before calling out Bioware for wrongdoing on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarjarloves Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 When are we gonna be able to start the quest for hk51. I was hoping by now since they announced it so long ago. Anyone have any knowledge on the subject? obviously he will be in the Cash shop. He is guarenteed to be a big seller why waste him now when you could just wait 2 months and add him then and make a ton of money off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrea Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I haven't seen too much removed from the gamy myself, and as long as they are not taking stuff that you have already acquired then all I can say is, Welcome to the wonderful World of MMO's. I'm still waiting for them to bring the White Stallion back to wow.... The big speeders being removed from the game is a good call though. Regardless of the bugs, people did seem to like to use those to block access to mail boxes. Regardless, I have not seen anything official released on HK-51 since the announcement in July. I thought it was going to be in 1.4 but that didn't happen. With any luck we should see him before the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
