Good news: If you transfer one character, all the legacy unlocks go with 'em. I can specifically confirm getting HK-51 on multiple servers that way. And transfers are still deeply discounted last I heard.

Medullah posted:180cc. You have to wait 2 days between transfers though. Notes on this: 180 is the cost for a "round trip." The cost is trivial right now. I think it comes out to around 75 cents one way. I don't think the 2-day wait is actually true. I don't think there's a cooldown on it at all. I've done the double-transfer thing a few times while this promotion was going on (mostly for extremely cheap name changes) and I've always been able to move the character back pretty much immediately. Like I spent a few minutes messing around with their inventory and stuff in between, but as soon as I tried it it worked fine. Could have been a glitch?

Medullah posted:I don't believe so, go try and do a transfer and it should say you have a free one. I'll give it a try tomorrow and post what happens here. Anyway, the search is over. I have my HK.  All in all, over the course of four days, it took: 18 hours cumulative of searching onTaris 2 hours of scanning the Jedi Temple 1 hour on DK which would've been longer had I not lucked out and bumped into a group searching too 2.5ish hours on Hoth 2-3 hours on the assorted flashpoints/heroics and I also ended up with: gaining 2 GC levels, got a set piece from a crate racking up a few credits shy of 2 million from vendoring greys/blues/greens from the various mobs The assorted information from Dulfy and other sites was still mostly relevant considering the changes from when the HK quest went live to how it is now along with not many people doing it anymore. I would agree with the advice I was given here of starting scanning in the areas where co-ordinates have been posted and working outwards from that and suggest for anyone giving the quest a go to really be patient and don't get flustered if the suggested area doesn't pan out as 3 of the parts popped for me in spots nowhere near where the co-ords suggested. For anyone antsy about heading into the Outlaw's Den on Tatooine for the part there, I drove in because I'm too much of a cheap bitch to buy the legacy travel for it and the area was absolutely dead. I seriously think I could've stripped my Inquisitor naked and danced all the way to the Jawa with the part and danced all the way back out and not bump into anyone. Scanning was pretty much the only mind-numbingly tedious bit especially since unlike other scanner types in game this one's more like a 'getting warmer...getting colder...getting hot' than throwing you a bone with pointing out a direction, and I strongly agree with the advice given about knowing the scan circle radius to help speed it somewhat along. Because I'm not sure how the engine physics worked with the scanner, I started landmarking the radius. As the circle reaches it's maximum distance, see what landmarks are within the circle like a bit of wall, a rock or a standout patch of grass and use that as a reference for the next scan pass. You will overlap some, but I feel it's better to overlap than miss a spot. From what I read around, everything was saying the last heroic part was going to be challenging. I don't know if it's from changes made since the quest went live or tearing through it at level 70 instead of the I think 50 that was the cap at the time, but it was quick and easy and that's even with having a 20lb maine coon mix cat deciding he needed to sprawl on my arms while fighting the few mobs that were present. At this point I'd say it was at least worth it to do the quest once especially since it's soloable and just shell out the credits/coins for any other unlocks.

Gratz man! Unfortunate that you missed out on his heyday where he had some wicked DPS, but it's still a nice little quest to accomplish. Now I'm thinking back to all the credits I made selling high end droid parts to all the HK fans.

Admittedly you can eventually get HK-55, but he's a little too chipper for my liking - I prefer 51's more menacing attitude, and have grown rather fond of the understated term "undesirables". Losing HK-55 finally got me to finish off the HK-51 questline. Who knew what my Consular really needed was an Imperial murderbot?

Just did the transfer thing for my HK unlock. Considering the free transfer I had from clicking Medullah's link had to be at least a year old, it was still good. And as far as transfer wait time, the site page does state a 72 hour wait period, but I was able to transfer the character back in under a minute. So, 90cc cost for avoiding another HK saga...priceless.

See, always listen to old man Medullah, I know what's best for you. On a side note, why do I let myself get into arguments in general chat? Some guy was arguing why Madness was a far better PvP spec than any burst spec because "You do so much more damage with DoT spread". I argued "Yeah, but you have a much harder time killing someone when it counts, like, to cap an objective or in an arena" The reply "That doesn't matter, what's important is doing as much damage as possible in a warzone"

So something I find funny with the new stream - the new daily area allows you to ally yourself with either the Republic, or the Empire, and supposedly will allow cross faction grouping based on your choice. You also get a new companion based on your choice - which means everyone will be on the Republic side, because the choices are Elara Dorne or Malavai Quinn

I actually really liked him too until the betrayal. He is a good Imperial officer. But then it turns and... Well, gently caress Quinn. Maybe they'll find a way to make him redeemed.

I still think the old fan theory on how to handle that was the best. If you kill him you get a replacement imperial officer that's slightly more nervous and obsequious than he is. If you force choke him to death for whatever reason you get one that's even more nervous and sycophantic. If you kill that guy too then you get a total nervous basket case who can barely even make a simple report to you without making GBS threads his pants in terror because he knows that you basically eat people like him for breakfast. Basically just run through an increasingly generic and nervous list of imperial officers Vader style to highlight how hosed the dark side end of the Imperial military is. Though apparently if you romance Quinn he's outright begging you to do it when you figure out what his game is. From the cinematics i've seen he basically does a complete 180 on being such an rear end in a top hat too. Unless you decide to run his face along the bulkheads for a few minutes as punishment. In which case he acts like you did him a "favor" by hurting him while sparing him. Which is all kinds of messed up. Archonex fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jan 29, 2017 |

The next closest thing is...I dunno, Talos maybe? Lokin? Or Dorne I guess, now that we're getting away from factions entirely. Medullah's got a point though, but I get around it by not thinking about it
