Injudicator Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Heya all. I just acquired my HK-51 today and I can honestly say this was one of the most fun quests I've had in a while. I hope we get more quests where you don't have to slaughter just mobs but do interesting things like in this one. Theoretika was soooo creepy and really reminded me of Manaan from KOTOR. Awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandi Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 First time, I spent like an hour there. Second time, I blew through it in 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelDranoel Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Felt like a KOTOR mission. The Manaan mission feels really close. In KOTOR 2, the starting mission feels similar too. I like more of this KOTOR stuff, I will redo these missions with all my toons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omNOMNOMinator Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It was really really good. And I loved in the last H2+ mission in Section X, they put mobs that jump out and you and stuff. That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later the inconsistencies and load of content missing disappointed me a bit, but now that the Sith Lords Restoration project is complete KOTOR should be insanely better. If only we get more missions like this it will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProsaicProse Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Going to chime in here - I absolutely loved the ship and enjoyed the rest of the storyline too. I'd love to see more stuff like this to do in game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Felt like Dead Space for a while I recommend that everybody does Theoretika alone, despite it being h2+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenhurst Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yeah, finally some non-combat investigation type quest. Very good. Hope for even more investigations and puzzles, that is when it starts to feel like "RPG" again, mechanics felt almost a little like Secret World. No more Kill X Collect X in the future, please more "Theoretika" type gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryat Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It was a ton of fun. I agree, make more like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Considering how much positive response they get regarding this quest we should expect more of it in the expansions. I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revanchis Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Considering how much positive response they get regarding this quest we should expect more of it in the expansions. I bet. Maybe Bioware will finally realize that their strong suit is story and dialogue based missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahdasz Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Considering how much negative feedback they're getting about Section X they're probably all gonna be fired tomorrow. 1 quest out of all that content that is so-so, while everything else is a jacked up pain in the butt? Not a winning update. Edited November 18, 2012 by bahdasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injudicator Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 If you listen, it actually uses the music from Peragus in places. Yep, and I also think some of the music from Manaan Underwater Republic Base level. Was loads of fun! The whole time I felt a lot of suspense and the sense that something was going to jump at me from somewhere! Bravo to the level designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a winning update. In their video there was one person saying that Area X is one of the most beautiful areas designed in SWTOR, but it just looked like they copy pasted the normal Belsavis terrain..oh well. The mechanics of the Heroic 4+ are fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelrail Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 If you like puzzles, try completing the Datalogs bonus mission in the theoretika. It was really fun figuring out the puzzle room! Good job BW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I thought it was one of the most well done quests in any game ever. I had a lot of fun and that is the bottom line. Do another one!! Forget the haters, you know, haters gotta hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Felt like Dead Space for a while I recommend that everybody does Theoretika alone, despite it being h2+ I would second this, I did it alone and it was so awesome, I didn't get it right off and had to search, but that was the fun of it.

Sportiva Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I loved it with 1 minor complaint. The last cut scene is ruined IMO when you do the final H2+ in a group. I was lucky enough to do the last mission with someone who was not on the quest. Then I ran an alt through the series and did the final mission with a group. They should have made it so that each person in the group gets their own cut scene with HK-51.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) It was great! Ran through it with some guildies and it was creepy cool and then... One player went a into room ahead of the party and the door slammed shut behind her. She was locked in. We scrambled to figure out how to get her out thinking the quest was bugging out only to realize this was as intended after she suffocated to death. Lol! Nobody ran ahead after that. Oh and that final boss was a beast! I tanked that sucker and was thrown around the room like a rag doll. BTW, Section X is great fun as well. Ran it with the guildies and everyone loved it. The area and vaults were obviously designed for group play although it can be easily solo'ed The H4 capped it as it was more than a hack and slash as well. Love the WB wandering around the quest area too! No one is getting fired. They deserve promotions. Edited November 18, 2012 by Rafaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and that final boss was a beast! I tanked that sucker and was thrown around the room like a rag doll. That was the best part of the quest! I started flipping out to my party members to help we were 4 and split into teams of 2 to cover more ground. We cleared all the enemies and decided to look for the logs, and split up more. concur, I felt super heroic, kind of like in KOTOR I wish we can see something like the Dantooine quest line from KOTOR where we have to setup a base for defense!

jorill Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun. I actually like section x in general. I think its definitely better than the bh daily area. Its a step in the right direction. I also like one the solo instance sections as well. But there will be no pleasing some people no matter what anyways. I do agree there should be more quests like theoretika as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
