Letsjet Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It was EXTREAMLY easy. My sniper did it upon hitting 50 in just 3-4 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatarless Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) The only hard part is having to do the Hard Mode instance. The rest is fairly easy really. If your not guilded or anything it can take a while to find a group for the Hard Mode is all. That's the point where I got stuck, still haven't completed it lol Edited February 18, 2013 by Avatarless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRahlik Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 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? It's way to **easy**. I have done it on two chars and it took 4 hours on the first and 3 on the second. From start to finish. It's sad that they made it so easy.

VanderII Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I love the quest to gain HK-51, Bioware did a nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_walker Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Taris one is easy, usually takes me less than 20 minutes to find it. Well I gave up after another 6 hours of searching. No way in hell I'm going to start again, HK can get stuffed for all I care now. You'd think after over 12 hours of searching they would throw you a bone.

Shwarzchild Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 HK is really easy to get. The scavenger hunt is pretty bland, but by no means does it represent a challenge. I just grouped with other people who were searching and we found the pieces without a problem. Everything in that entire quest line can be solo'd so that means it's quite unchallenging right there.

Wallner Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's definitely not too difficult. I like the missions, if not for anything else, it's a mission that takes you around the galaxy, which I want more of. And you're complaining about something taking a couple of hours, do you even know that you're playing an MMO? It's like some people don't even know what genre they are playing.

SW-Angelus Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The scavenger hunt parts weren't an issue, even finding them solo. Once you understand how you need to scan-and-move, you can cover a fairly large area quickly. I found all pieces solo within 20mins per planet. Plus the ship-puzzle-zone was awesome. My issue however is my 'main' is a tank specced shadow, and while I love tanking H4's etc, I absolutely dread going into the flashpoints as a tank for a pug for the last two pieces. The amount of grief you get for going into a hardmode and saying 'full disclosure folks, first time here and in wellfare Tionese, be patient' is mindblowing.

Sam_Skyrunner Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The difficulty is fine. The reward as it was meant to be would be worth the difficulty. The problem is, the reward is not working as intended. The armor that comes with HK-51 is not scaling to your companion's level. If they would fix this, the reward is worth the difficulty.

Silent_walker Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 ...Plus the ship-puzzle-zone was awesome. That was prob the only part of the quest chain I enjoyed, it was fun and made me feel like I was exploring on my own. Finding new things about a ship I knew nothing about. Like what happened to the people etc. But at the end of the day even if you get HK, the problem is unlocking them on each of you characters for 1 million credits each. I know not everyone has that kind of credits to spare and I sure don't, so I guess HK is kind of pointless for me, it's mostly for nostalgia. But Hey I am playing though swtor again for the 8th time so that will tide me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oslek Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Glad that there were people who enjoyed this. I found it incredibly tedious and boring. I'm damn sure not going through all that again on my other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackholeskipper Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Meh, personally I'm more concerned with the quality of the companion. HK-51 kinda pales in comparison to HK-47 or even the HK-50s. Something about his voice is weird too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stausii Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 As in matter fact getting HK-51 is generally easy and can be done within a few hours.... If you're having a hard time finding parts - then team up with other players.... But if it's simply because it takes to much time then just let it go... cancel your sub and go play wow where you don't have to put in any effort at all.

Xtro Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Finding parts is rather easy, but it is boring like hell. Having to go through flash points is bothersome if you are not in guild and have to wait for a couple of hours for each of them. Nope, can't say I found anything enjoyable about the grinding to get HK-51, though it was not hard just boring grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The armor that comes with HK-51 is not scaling to your companion's level. If they would fix this, the reward is worth the difficulty. And that does not even take into account that HK-51 have not been laid into the story arc yet. What fun is a companion that have zip effect on story arc in comment or affection.

spacerobot Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm a super casual player. I usually never run FP's at all. I started this quest the other day and after a few hours I was to the point where I had to run False Emperor and Foundry. The next night I got in a group that ran both then went back for the last group quest. Done. Was a TON of fun. The hardest part was LFG for the FP's. I think the difficulty is fine. This is coming from someone who technically sucks at this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trwuen Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 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. You mean, by spending the credits or Cartel coins on the legacy to unlock HK for the rest of your characters...after you have done the quest once? The price is pretty steep, but 2-3 days of doing all of your dailies on one character can net you just over 1 million credits. 2 Characters just over 2 million. I don't see how hard this really is to understand? Why go through all of that work doing the quest a second time??? If I recall, HK even comes with his armor/weapons when you buy him from the legacy unlock. So its not like you have to do th quest again just to get his gear. I fail to understand why this is an issue it just seems like the OP Is trolling. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elstaar Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) The quest becomes pointless right after you are forced to manually scan rather large areas even w/o direction. I guess, supposed target group for that are professional farmers and bot masters. I don't want to waste my sub time by doing such boring and tedious work. Just leave pointless grind to korean games. Make more story, less grind - like class storylines. I hope, that quest will be subject to redesign, preferrably before closing the game or changing it to pure pay2win. And well... getting into flashpoints is the easiest part, i even got a HK Weapons Protocol before even starting the questline (a bug, perhaps?). TLDR: the farming part makes it not difficult, but very boring, tedious and generally unplayable. I'd rather run a couple of HM flashpoints instead, at least we have a group finder for this. Or explore another derelict ship. Edited September 22, 2013 by elstaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Wow this thread is like a fertilizer convention.You definitely need hip waders.it does take time.Was it fun.Not to me but others might enjoy it.I prefer the class story's myself.

spectreclees Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's not that hard, sorry. The mechanic of scanning is quite easy once you learn how it works. I find each part within 10 minutes of getting to the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
