HK Quest Line - an alt for one piece really?

Well, I don't care what the rest are saying, I'm with you on that one

This is frackin hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. What server are on, can we be friends?

Not level 15. You'll be fine with a level 12.

There's also tons of mobs in the temple where the piece is. There's also a Champion.

If you have the time to search dromund kaas, Taris, hoth, sm fe and hm foundry them you have plenty of time to level a pub toon to 12

So um. Anyways. My only real problem with this quest is that it only unlocks it for one alt and you have to spend 1 mil on each of the other alts you want it on. After that long and annoying of a quest, it should at least be much cheaper, though preferably it would be better if you could get HK-51 free when you got your ship, or even better when you buy crew skills so you can send him on missions.

But that's just me, not wanting to do all that searching or grinding to get him again.

1 mil is pretty cheap, just run few daily zones, and you should have the money in maybe three days at 3 hrs/day gameplay (back in the old days, the Belsavis-Ilum-Corellia round rewarded around 300k, so it should be even easier now with so many more new locations and your toon being overleveled).

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Part of me thinks it is a valid point to say that expecting someone to actually role a different class to get a companion is a bit much.

But then I also have to concede that if HK was easy to get I would not value it as much.

Hmm.

Well, I think its a bit of a pain, but IMO it is what makes it so sweet when you get it. Like the old Dreadsteed quest chain for a Warlock in WoW...at one time it was a ridiculously difficult and expensive quest, but it was very satisfying to ride around it when I got it.

So this is Bioware's version of mashing your face in glass to get a brownie. Methinks I approve. That's an awfully tasty brownie.....

I don't reply much on these forums but this is a subject I can relate with. When HK was introduced I was so excited then I found out I had to roll a whole new alt to get him. I only had 1 toon at the time and she was a republic character and I was the opposite of you, I did not want to roll a empire toon. But you know what, it surprised me how much I enjoyed playing a bounty hunter. I started with the intention of only getting her to 15 so I could get the piece and ending maxing her to 50 (which at the time was level cap). My point is, I here what your saying dude, but if you want HK unfortunately you are gonna have to bite the bullet and do it. If I may, I suggest rolling a smuggler or a Jedi knight their story lines are a lot of fun and you might just decide to keep playing them.

I have other things to spend my credits on, like the GTN, or providing for my guild bank, or getting better gear, or... When I've done this much effort for HK-51, I'm kinda done doing stuff for a redundant comp.
