lukeisjedi Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So I love 55's banter just a little bit more than 51. Plus I love his design. Who do you prefer? Though I'd take HK47 over both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearsighted Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Anything to do with Zakuul or KOTFE is a hard pass. So, HK-51. Also. Just the teeny, tiniest bit of ingenuity could've incorporated HK-51 into the storyline, instead of needing to come up with yet another HK droid.

JediQuaker Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Is there any real difference between them, other than what they say at times? I think they came up with HK-55 just so that people could have an HK without going through the HK-51 quest chain, but also without ruining the HK-51 quests.

ceryxp Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 hk 55 is better in combat, especially since they nerfed 51 I wondered about that, from a combat package standpoint. I know both HK-51 and Treek have been under performing (read borked) since 4.0, but I did not know if HK-55 uses the same combat package as HK-51. I have HK-55, I just have not tested that. So is HK-55 using a standard ranged combat package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone could parse it, if they really want to find out...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebdar Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Currently from my test the HK-55 is better as DPS then HK-51 I was running the Veteran Star Fortress, solo with HK-55 and HK-51 as DPS, and the HK-55 was better, it killed more survived longer and died less then HK-51.

The HK-55 has different personality matrix - more of bodyguard, more social then 'classic' HK-51 Assasin personality I think that is has same idea from 'KOTFE KOTET" that companions change after this part of story, like: a) scorpio use blaster rifle now before an tech staff b) Jorgan used assault cannon now sniper rifle and so on. So the HK-55 also use have changed. He doesn't have Terminate ability. but still uses Sniper Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTergon Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 1) You only have to go through the HK-51 quest once, before you can skip it via a legacy purchase. . yes, but your legacy has to be high enough, and it costs 1 million each time (which is little or nothing to longer term players, but might cause issues with newer ones) 2) They could've just inserted a couple differences, so that those who went through the trouble of getting HK-51 earlier, had a few special interactions, or were the only ones able to rebuild him after he was destroyed. No, because if they did that, it would negate his quest in section x. On a personal note, I like having HK 51, HK-55 & zoom standing guard on my personal quarters on Odessan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveat Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 On a personal note, I like having HK 51, HK-55 & zoom standing guard on my personal quarters on Odessan I rather enjoyed the HK & Z0-0M mission, It's the one thing I am sure to turn voices back on for during replay. As to 51 vs 55... its feeling like a tadpole arguing tastes great vs less filling with a parental unit. Different droids for different 'generations'.

Yes, it's a fun little side mission, would be nice if they had more, nothing too big, but something similiar, a side mission with comps, no PC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criptvampiress Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I'm rather partial to HK-55 (he did save my life after all.) Although I like that HK-51 doesn't constantly refer to me as 'meatbag.' Edited October 17, 2020 by Criptvampiress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilloughbian Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Neither of them is HK-47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTergon Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Neither of them is HK-47. That's true, but I doubt we'll ever get a hk-47 but He did pop up in the shroud mission, as a head (copy), so maybe down the road we can recover a copy of him from the shrouds base, or the plans & personality matrix[ to rebuild him again :-D Also, it has been asked that we get a customisation for the HK's that will turn him in to HK-47 (lookalike) Edited October 16, 2020 by DarkTergon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWilloughbian Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 On a side note.. That "Shroud of Memory" unlock from the CM... Is that 3800 cartel coins for every toon you want it unlock it for, or, is there an account unlock for it like with other CM items? Thanks.
