TitusOfTides Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 We were told today we would receive an announcement that "the world is not ready for." We weren't ready for HK-55 (again)? Sure, it's a cool idea playing as HK for a chapter... but what about once those new subs beat it? They are gone again. You have traded $15 now, for $15 less later from the long-time sub who quit. You're openly choosing new, short term, customers over existing long term subscribers - and giving them virtually nothing of substance once we beat those "Chapters." BTW, Chapter 9 was literally just a cantina party. That's every 5 year old's RP. *SLOW CLAP* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect PVP content anymore, but they could have hinted at an upcoming operation or something. Seriously, how many HK droids do we need?

The-Kaitou-Kid Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I certainly wasn't expecting a chance to actually play as HK-55 in a bonus chapter, that's an interesting and unique reward that I'm very much looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuiwe Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Really, I expected they'd come out and say that PlasmaTech is getting a buff(LOL-so important!) and even I was...like /meh at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadtechSavant Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The rewards are ok, well its free as I am subbing anyway. So no complaints on that, though not every player is a HK-55 fan and would have been better if the rewards were not all based around that one character. Still think it's OK. However it's what was not mentioned that bothered me more. Nothing about the FORCED PVP, and nothing mentioned about 4.0 comps outfits. This was part or lack there off was disappointing.

JSitruc Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 i think the rewards are pretty cool, for someone other than me. This doesn't entice me to renew my sub this month or in the near future. preferred life! HERE I COME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Kaitou-Kid Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 And it's people like you that make me miss public administrative punishment. Why? Because I'm looking forward to something that you're not? Are we not allowed to actually like the things that are being added into the game?

RogerApple Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Getting to play HK for a chapter...It's funny everyday since they announced something huge for subs...we all tried to guess what it would be..guess its not companion buffs..oh well SLOW CLAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the stuff we already knew about nothing that was announced had any substance and they way over hyped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalina Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 In some ways I'd have preferred something along the lines of, "We bought a 5000 gallon tank of RAID and we're gonna use it to get downright medieval when it comes to bug squashing in SWTOR." KotFE was a pretty massive undertaking between new content and revamping the mechanics of almost all old content, but boy oh boy did those bugs ever proliferate while stuff was being redone. That said, a little standalone chapter as HK-55 sounds pretty cool. I don't know how much workload they can handle beyond the main story chapters and eventual updates with new Ops, PvP, GSF and other MMO content, but if they started doing little side chapters (if they're done as well KotFE and Class stories) as subscriber rewards, that would be pretty sweet. Have some more of what they do best? Why yes, thank you very much. I was also pleased to see that they are doing other stuff for Dec. and Jan. rather than a wasteland of nothingness. So there's some background work going on, and gives me hope that there will be non-story content that is poorly announced and behind schedule in addition to the story content that is well announced and behind schedule. Gives me some time to grind influence on my alts before the next big wave of new stuff hits. Sooo. . . 6 stars out of 10, but if the HK chapter kicks sufficient meatbag posterior I may retroactively award an additional 1-3 bonus stars. We'll see.

Other than the stuff we already knew about nothing that was announced had any substance and they way over hyped it. Agree to disagree, then. Having HK-55 back as a companion was something I wanted from the moment I finished Chapter VIII and an entire chapter dedicated to him is something I'm very much in favor of. Getting to play as him is something interesting to me as well as I can't think of a single time in game where you control somebody other than your character (there might be one, I just haven't seen it myself if there has been one). I don't even disagree that it was "over hyped", which isn't to say the rewards are bad but rather that they went over the top in touting the announcement. This is still a pretty big reward (in my eyes) but they would have had to hit it out of the park to live up to the hype they set. What I disagree with is somebody (person I was quoting, not you) throwing snide comments & insults at me because I dared to actually like something that was announced. Did I like everything that was announced? Not at all. But I liked the HK-55 stuff. Edited December 2, 2015 by The-Kaitou-Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhJedi Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Okay, I expected the "rewards" to be lame. Like, really lame. Check my post history, I knew they were going to be a joke. And yet, somehow, they're even worse than I imagined. At this point, my only guess can be that the devs are going to get a bonus once every original player quits so they can shut down the game and try something new. There is no way any human being with a brain is this obtuse. We're being trolled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
