Hk-47 Old Republic Tag?

I just want HK to get a rework if he got tagged as sith (which I don't think is outrageous) or OR that would be great but the one he deserves most is BOUNTY HUNTER... Right? Am I crazy to think that this is a travesty? Also to almost the same extent... scoundrel! He's the most undertagged toon in the game and I hope an eventual rework will make him the most plug and play toon on at least the darkside if not overall.

But to the players that think he wasn't ever part of the sith empire... He was Revan's number one go to assassin from post mandolorian wars to the battle where his/hers memory was wiped. Or am I rememebring that wrong?
I know he didn't practice sith teaching or force use, but he's a droid and probably pretty close to what C3P0 would have come out as if little Anakin had been born on Korriban(spelling?) A few thousand years earlier... Am I right? ?

You are not crazy, he should have scoundrel as well as OR. My main thing is that he & T3 have no synergy & often were together.

Thought this might be worth bringing back up, since now there’s a DS Bastila Character with the Old Republic tag (along with Canderous Ordo also being a DS character with the OR tag.)

So, two things have now been defined about this:

1) OR tag can be both LS and DS characters, similar to how the Droids faction tag was mentioned earlier.

2) It’s classified as an “Era Faction,” since Bastila (Fallen) abandoned the Jedi and was no longer associated with the Old Republic as a National Faction, like how the Galactic Republic tag works for Clones and “modern” Jedi. (New Bastila doesn’t hold the Jedi tag)

Point: HK, Visas, DN, Traya, Sion, Sith Trooper, Marauder, and Assassin deserve the OR tag. As a side note, for future launches of Revan’s Ancient Journey, the requirements could just be limited to the specific original OR toons, like CLS’s journey needed specific individuals as opposed to a general “faction.”

Appreciate the insight!

I think it’s ridiculous to propose that HK gets any of the following tags:

Sith, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter
@DengarsDumpTruck

1) he was not a Sith, in any sense of the word. He was employed / owned by a Sith. He didn’t practice any of the teachings, follow any of the beliefs, or have any connection to the Dark Side of the Force in any way, regardless of his natural affinity / history of “Dark Side” identification.

2) he was not a contractor chasing bounties or “for hire.” He was owned, and assigned specific tasks and missions as an assassin. He was utilized as a tool, unlike IG who followed his own directives as a bounty hunter.

3) Scoundrel is just fishing for a tag because he doesn’t really fit into any others. He wasn’t an “outlaw criminal,” as a part of the smuggling underworld, mercenary work, or any other form of independent affiliation. He was a droid. Owned by a Sith. Used as tool for assassinations.

Nope because he is of the sith empire which will become a tag later on

What? How did this even get a like? Did you play the game or are you just saying things?

Let me try, the sky is blue because its a reflection of the water.

I thought scoundrel was reaching, but made more sense than BH. As you said..that was not his profession. Sith is totally wrong as he was a droid.
I just think that he deserves the OR tag & a significant synergy w/t3.
