Pirindolo Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Let's make it more unfair. Let's give all the companions 1 or even 2 LOVE quality gifts, but let's keep HK-51 away from that.
Leklor Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Wasn't this always the case? It was, but why not fix it? It'd have been the ideal time considering the insane levels Influence reaches to now.
Mikahrone Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Qyzen, pre KOTFE anyway, no love gift. Theres more. If you dont romance some, no love gift for you. It should be fixed, All companions should have at least one love gift by default (without any conditions like romace) Edited October 28, 2015 by Mikahrone
Celeryherring Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) A bunch of companions don't have a Love gift unless you romance them; given that you can't romance same-sex companions, that means they are already out of luck. I'm surprised they didn't address this in their drive to "normalize" companions. They said they want you to be able to choose which is your favorite adventuring companion, but my female Jedi Knight can't adventure with her padawan Kira Carsen unless I spend twice as many gifts on her compared to the other companions. (well, she can because even a low influence companion trivializes most content, but you get my drift). Edited October 28, 2015 by Celeryherring
sinisterwaffle Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 If you are female than Ashara doesn't like anything. I get 990 with rank 6 cultural (highest I've seen) while Lana gets 2662 with the same item.... thats pretty ghetto

Ignoring some obvious bugs, all the characters except HK-51 seem to have 1 or 2 love quality gifts, not tied to the "romanced tag". At least in theory.

If you check the charts Dulfy put up, turns out there are a select few (e.g. Quinn, Lightside Jaesa, Qyzen) that have no love gifts and some that only have them when romanced (Ashara).

That explains all. I was considering only the Kotfe "official" companions. So with the exception of Qyzen, that I was not aware of, HK-51 is the pariah of the kotfe companions.
Darkelefantos Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It's annoying, really, they could have just bumped Weapon gifts up one stage for HK. He's such a great companion but his influence is such a grind.
pooks Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 HK-51's "best" gifts are now Military Gear. Somehow, sometime they changed the gifts for him. Nice that the devs didn't note the change anywhere. They probably bugged it when working on HK-55.... Another example of unprofessionalism on their part. Dulfy and other sites need to update their companion gift charts.

Dulfy and other sites need to update their companion gift charts. Companion gifts were deliberately changed during patch 4.0.2, and while there isn't any notice recorded in the patch notes or in developer tracker posts, word did get out and there were multiple threads about it in General Discussions. Tweet, blog, livestream comment, datamining? I forget what the source of the news was. Anyhow, the patch hit Nov 17 and Dulfy's 4.x companion guide page was updated to reflect the change within 24 hours of it going live if I recall correctly. http://dulfy.net/2015/10/21/swtor-fallen-empire-companion-influences-guide/#Main_Characters
pooks Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I checked that page and it doesn't mention HK-51.
PlacidDragon Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I checked that page and it doesn't mention HK-51. If you go to the pictures just above the "Main Characters", that lists both Republic and Empire in a spreadsheet, HK-51 is listed on both, as companion number 3, after the ship droid, and Treek. Like this picture for the Empire, and this for the Republic.
