alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Subscribers pay their hard earned money to do this quest line and I, for one, would like a cool, action packed story than a tedious, boring scavenger hunt that feels more like work than play. Even f2p players spend hard earned credits or dollars on cartel coins only to find that this quest line takes an absurd number of hours and boring perseverance. HK-51 was among the greatest ideas bioware had for Swtor and would be an unbelievable addition to a great game. To put in perspective how terrible they've made this mission series, HK-51 simply isn't the trouble, and that should speak incredibly powerfully to any fan of KoToR, swtor, and star wars in general. Who agrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudim Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) No, it is not, it is extremely easy, I did the quests in less than 3 hours and on a just turned 50 Commando!!!!! Edited December 20, 2012 by pudim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinjar Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not to be rude but you are pretty much saying you want it handed to you. Shouldn't the most desired companion be somewhat of a challenge to get? Be thankful you don't have to do a raid and roll for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMB Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The hunt for the droid parts should be made skippable for the rest of your Legacy once you've unlocked HK-51 for one of your characters. That's really all I have to say on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritinblack Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't agree. I felt it was very well done, and actually wish it had more to it. ( My opinion of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthJimilingus Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Diagree. It felt almost like a live event searching for things. I felt it was the right amount of difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't want it handed to me. I just don't want to go through a tedious scavenger hunt. I want to play the game and fight and enjoy the experience of getting him instead of, to quote marx, "being an appendage of the machine". I've been scanning around the endar spire on taris for hours now to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 In fact, it's not even difficult. It's simple as could be but requires an incredible amount of time if you're unlucky and a mere 3 hours if you're lucky. Why should something like this be left to luck?

darkov Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So finding some of the parts was tedious and boring, but overall the missions were very entertaining and also quite easy. There is nothing difficult about getting HK-51, it just takes a few hours... four at most usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyranos Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I wish it was more dificult and more complex... Instead for those who find it dificult .. You luck in brain cells.. we may even invent a machine in ur fingers, to help u press the keyboard buttons... Ideas like this, destroy the games in overall.

alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I agree that the story is great but the scavenger hunt is analagous to fluff in an essay. Useless, boring, time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Exar Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I found it quite easy. Even when I got ganked every 5 minutes by repubs while searching for him. Dulfy.net guide really helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The hunt for the droid parts should be made skippable for the rest of your Legacy once you've unlocked HK-51 for one of your characters. That's really all I have to say on the subject. Um...it is.... Once you unlock HK you can open him on any other character...for a small fee of course.

alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Considering I've spent more time now on taris than I did on the theoretika, tatooine, and the first part combined, excuse for thinking it's a bit overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taris is the easiest area with the smallest search radius, wait until you have to search the ENTIRE Dark Temple Approach on Dromund Kaas I think you should give up now before you end up killing yourself Edited December 20, 2012 by pudim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just skips the entire quest line (which isn't something I'd like to do), and it's way too expensive to be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrica Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 i got HK on 5 chars on one weekend, it ain't difficult at all, and for those parts, the ones that are legacy bound have a real advantage towards alts, just make sure you have a maildroid ready, loot item, mail it, loot again. I managed to get 3x loot on 1 find, which made it alot less painful for my alts. btw, something that I remember why people weer'nt finding the parts in a short time, be sure to 'read' the text that appears on your screen, some people just failed at reading they were within 25 meters or less and kept searching around the place.

alexkman Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't think I should end up feeling suicidal because of a recreational videogame. I should feel quite the opposite, really. It sucks because the rest of the game is phenomenal and now I'm endorsing something that makes me suicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
