HK-47 rework

Since they’re obviously going to drastically change HK-47’s leader ability I thought I would state my hopes for HK-47 as a whole. My hope is that they find a way to sort of “integrate” aspects of his old leader ability (mostly the turn meter gain) into his new abilities, such as his unique ability, or special ability. Doing so would make it so that HK-47 is the only one affected by this bonus so that he can still attack somewhat more frequently while allowing for more droid (and others possibly since it’s still too early to tell) allies to be made without a major risk of causing infinite loops.

he still is a droid.

Fun fact - GG isn't even a droid, he is from a species known as the Kaleesh.

But he technically counts as one in game ;)

Obviously ;)

Statement: EA needs a rework

I have to disagree. HK was no fan of other droids, and apart from TM, didn't actually work with other droids. He was created by Revan and therefore should align with Revan. The addition of him in the original game is the oversight (the 'oh we should add some droids in. Does anyone know any other than R2 & 3po' moment) - now meaning he needs to be changed now as more characters have been added. This seems logical to me.

The other point is, that droids on there own shouldn't really constitute a faction (sorry fan boys) unless it's GG led era. IG for example is a bounty hunter who happens to be a droid, R2 again is a droid but assists the rebels. GG, B1, B2, Droideka and Magnaguard are the only real 'droids faction' and they've been synergised as such.

It's also clear that if they are giving us the leader mats back he won't be a leader any longer. Expect the rework to change his lead to a zeta unique and add another unique in

Well, I both agree and disagree here. By that logic, you shouldn't be able to make scoundrel teams either, or combine bounty hunters from different eras (or include bounty hunters who mostly worked alone).

And while it's true that most of the droids in the game have different faction alignments and come from different eras, they all still function on binary computer language, meaning there is nothing else than their software stopping them from integrating with eachothers' strenghts. Actually, if there wasn't any barrier in their masters' programming, they would have the perfect synergy with eachother. Kind of like how IG88 went rampant, and integrated himself with IG2000.

Its the purpose and lack of motivation which makes a difference to me.
Would BHs work together to hunt down a particularly valueable target? Sure.
Would the droids come together and fight together for any reason? Not really. Maybe the light side droids, to go on a mission against the empire. But light and dark side droids? I just dont see that happening.

The droid rebellion was actually touched on with l337 and the solo movie. So yes, if there really was a droid rebellion they would have something to come together for, fighting for their own rights and freedom.

They COULD rework HK to where he gets awesome DR synergy and great droid synergy too. Not gonna happen but...

Yeah CG already did many post before this Rework to get hopes down enough for Droids. IF the Rework would benefit droids (and Revan) we would get Zero information because its fine. No need to inform us If the lead is better at the end, i clearly expect the Cut of the entire lead (cause it fit the Revan Lore and it seems this Game is about "Care about Revan only" ). As i already mentioned at factions like Empire, Rebels with enough leads that wouldnt cause trouble If you get a better reworked character Back. HK Rework can also mean, Droid Tag but no synergy with this faction besides this tag which is less than R2, BB8, Chopper, L3 offered that are used with other factions too.

What, exactly, is the narrative justification for *any* of the droid characters having a leader tag? The one that comes the closest to being a leader in any of the source material is R2, and none of the droids from the squad he arguably led are even in the game.

If you want to go down that path, there are a metric ton of characters with leader abilities that have no narrative justification for having them.

This

@CazNeerg
L3 leads a Droid Rebellion
IG88 lead his own copies
Grievous lead Seperatist Droids

Cut HK and you are more or less left with Grievous since IG88 is more a (Bad) BH lead and while 3 viable leads for 16 faction toons would be solid, 1 (Grievous) lead isnt. Keep in mind Nobody see good enough future Droid leads since faction is really complet currently
