RETITLE: "Mildly Irritated" about HK-47 Leader Nerf

Spent the past bunch of months building a droid team: HK (L), IG-88, T3, L3, and IPD. Then I found out: we're getting new droids! But they're all Separatists. I was working on the wrong droids.

It's ok. I march to my own drum. I ignored the Separatists and finished my droid team, putting zetas on 88, L3, and T3. I felt great when I heard HK was getting a re-work... finally! I might have a decent leader for my droids!

And now we hear that his leadership is getting nerfed? Ok, who's supposed to run my droid team now? This is really unfair to anyone who was trying to build a non-Separatist droid team. HK has been the only reasonable leader for droids since the dawn of time. If not him, who? Not Grievous. Are we getting a super-awesome Lobot rework or something, LOL? I doubt it, so I guess this team now just gets to lay fallow after months of work.

That is... discouraging. To say the least.

    Even though im just running revan right now, i sympathize with your cause. Hk had a good lead beforemit was changed....

    Why was it changed anyway? He isnt going to be in the lead with darth revan anyway...

    The devs have always been wary of his lead, and it makes them have to do more work to make sure any droid they release will not cause an infinite loop with HK. Since they were already reworking HK for DR synergy, the took the opportunity to get rid of something that could potentially cause a loop on the future.

    I mean, this makes sense. When you get right down to it, I'm not so much upset that they're changing HK47 as I am that they haven't provided a viable alternate droid leader. For every faction there ought to be a few reasonable choices for leader, and for droids there sort of aren't. I guess my mediocre choices are IG-88 and Lobot? I mean, HK was already a 'meh' leader as it was. Change him all you want, but then give me a droid leader I can feel good about!
