You make an excellent point from a storytelling perspective, but if you give him the OR tag then people are going to want him to have synergy with JKR as well.
I just want him to have synergy with the Carth OR team. So it should work either way. He wouldn't be a best fit, but he until I get Darth Revan he'd be a better fit into that team than many other characters.
Oh, I definitely understand and if he had the OR tag then I would definitely use him as well. He definitely got a boost and will excel under Darth Revan.
Dunno why you’re complaining given it was ‘expected’. The leadership ability was borderline broken as they’ve already stated and shoehorned them into making most the of the new droids unable to crit, while all the DR synergy makes perfect sense
Agreed. Since we do not have Revan Redeemed this is the next best option for a chacter that served Revan as a Sith and Revan allied with the OR as well as Meetra Surik. CG_SBCrumb please take this into consideration as it will benefit everyone longterm.

His kit looks ready to carve up some Jedi.
I think they are saying that in this scenario HK has joined the DR side. Otherwise we'd have a lightside HK aswell like Bastilla/Badstilla
Because now there are tons of droid characters and other than the separatists absolutely no leader skill to bring them together. They should issue a refund of all the assorted droid zetas like L3 and T3 that just got seriously nerfed.
could be strong, but NOT with droids....
:-(
Well there never was a DS/LS HK. HK was allied with you just as much as Canderous for example.
Same on both toons. Bastilla has a note saying she's lost OR tag so looks like new tag.
So Sith Empire. Malak confirmed, reworks for assassin and marauder too I'd imagine. Probably get the Leviathan too
Looks like Kotor just keeps on giving.
Cause he was created by Darth Revan. Light side Revan didn't need an assassin droid....
I guess I jumped the gun...
Look at bastila
That's why this is frustrating. Being one of the few to run HK with zeta'd droids on GA defense was unconventional and effective. There's no refund for any of the other droid zetas that are complete garbage without his leadership skill.
I've seen plenty of people still using HK for GA, and it was a great clean up team. That being said, I'm understanding of this leadership nerf since his entire kit got a nice buff.
Sorry just because you play at the 'highest' level (which isn't a pompous statement at all is it) doesn't mean that other people don't enjoy using characters elsewhere. This game is not just about the top 10 people in PvP.
HK needs the Old Republic tag. He could still be used on a Carth Lead Old Republic team, and thematically he was allied with both Jedi Knight Revan and Darth Revan. He doesn't need to synergize with Jedi Knight Revan Specifically, but he should be able to synergize with Carth and the other Old Republic characters.
I bet HK will work well on the GG team!
Yes a new tag. When are the reworks gonna go live
I'm glad HK-47 is going to be more useful, but sad that this appears to be the final nail in a lot of droids' coffins until we get another good droid lead.
