Old Republic Tags
Hey devs can we get Old Republic tags for Sion, Nihilus, Traya, Visas Marr, HK47, Sith Marauder, Sith Trooper, and Sith Assassin? I feel this only makes sense, especially considering Assassin’s ship is tagged Old Republic and she isn’t. Thanks in advance if this becomes a thing.

I have a strange feeling they’re not done with Kotor stuff yet even though the toons they previously announced have all been released already.

I don't reply to attacks or negativity. Keep it civil.
I just checked, and I don’t see that the Sith Fighter is tagged Old Republic.
Personally, the only characters you listed that I might argue should be tagged Old Republic are HK and Visas, and they’re both edge cases, who only maybe qualify because they are affiliated with the protagonists of the KOTOR games.
People have argued all,over the forums about whether “Old Republic” refers to a time period or to a factional affiliation. I think in order for it to really work in gameplay, it has to have the factional meaning. E.g., a light side version of Revan probably shouldn’t give a leadership bonus to Nihilus, and a dark side version shouldn’t give a bonus to Bastila.
Of course now that I’ve said that, I recognize that that’s probably arguable too.
Her ship is not tagged OR.
Thank you for responding. What you said makes complete sense. Maybe see if the devs will at least consider Marr and HK47 but beyond that you can probably close this discussion. Lol
But, as I said, I don't know anything. That's why I ask
They won't add the tag to HK or Visas Marr because they're going to require the 5 currently under the tag to get Revan. Allowing two toons that have been out for awhile that can be easily taken to 7* doesn't follow their money hungry ways. Gotta induce panic farming and ya ain't doing it right.
You’re probably right. I’ve played the game multiple times and he’s an edge character. Visas Marr should definitely get the tag though. She rebuilt the Jedi Order. If she’s not getting a Jedi tag she was definitely on the side of the Republic. I wish they would just rework HK47 as part of this Kotor celebration. He should be as badass in this game as he was in that one.
Oh, man, don't get me started on The Good Old Days of Droids... Back then HK was a BEAST. In point of fact, Droids are still pretty good--but their kits are out of date compared with what's out now. So outside of Territory Wars you're not going to see much of them. But HK, IG-88, IG-86, B2, and Jawa Engineer was absolute murder at one time, and it all hinged on HK's leader ability.
Technically that team is a little bit better today since you can use BB-8 instead of the Engineer. But there are better teams out there for BB-8 to join.
I agree the tags will stay as they are so the 5 toons can be used to get New Revan, Revan Reborn, Revan (whatever you'd like to call him). But if those 5 toons are needed, surely Malak needs to be introduced...
I’m really hoping you’re right. HK47 rework, Malak, Canderous Ordo, Calo Nord, Saul Karath, maybe Darth Bandon. Plus there’s still Carth Onasi and Juhani. Lots of material. The Leviathan and Ebon Hawk too.
5 old republic toons will be needed for Darth Malak. Then Darth Malak will be needed for Revans villain event.
These are the first Light Old Republic characters released. They're the answer to HK, Marauder, Assassin, Nihilus, Traya, Trooper, and Sion. (Not, like, "the answer" in the sense that they beat them, but the answer in the sense that they're what was being held back, to echo your statement.)
Yep fair play. The KotoR 2 sith did preceed but with the new releases being based in the first game I just meant I don't think the old republic anniversary releases are finished just yet. Revan and Malak alongside the triumvirate would be fearsome. They're not needed... but they are wanted.
When you first get HK into your party, he's an unaffiliated assassin droid. But it's revealed that he's not unaffiliated -- he was, and still is, Revan's assassin droid. Since the "official" ending for KOTOR has Revan a republic hero, I would submit that HK is republic as well.
Yes but HK-47 was still in the old republic
