Thats what i want to know.

Why?

IE what is the reasoning for it? Everything else works on kash so why not droids?

Why make it easier for jedit o hunt somewhere, and why make them able to flaunt thier abilities ina time period where jedi are supposed to be scarce, and secretive? Its bad enough in the core content, why make it worse in the expansion?


Ill tell you why. SO jedi are forced to spend more money on SWG if they want to survive. Thats all i can come up with so far.

If anyone can give me a better reason, please be all means provide it. But sadly i just found this out, and im extremely angry i bothered renewing my account only to find out im probably going to cancel it again when publish 20 hits.


So yeah, anyone got a good reason? Because i heard its working as intended and they arent going to change it, and im just wondering thier infinite wisdom behind this decision.

lol..its actually a coding error, and the devs say they dont think they can fix it. hopefully they will remove XP from Kashyyyk to compensate though

HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHHA



Ok that one was awesome, im laughing pretty hard, and i enjoyed that. Finger through the nose....not so much.



As for Kash droids not working, i saw somewhere on these boards in an interview a DEV said it was properly working. Can you post a link to where it sais its a coding error and not working as intended? Chances are its a flat out lie, but id like to see it.


With all the coding errors SWG cant fix, i wonder if their server is made of tin foil and has a hamster on a wheel inside of it.

they said the not working thing is "working as intended" meaning: you can't find jedi on kashyyk with droids, this was intended and it is working. Interesting thing about kashyyk is that it's a biological wonder, with many many beings in existance- including the planet itself. This is why you are unable to find the jedi.

Simple reason why it doesnt work:
Waypoints dont carry dungeon names and instance numbers, and to change this the whole waypoint system would need a revamp. Its the same reason why you cant track on the corvette.
So its easier to make up a story why the droids dont work than to change the coding.

^^Correct^^


And they where not in the state they are in now, the first 3-4 days Kash was live....The "due to high life..." BS message was added in on the tail end of the deal to cover their own arses.


They are not 'working as intended' but rather, 'working as they ended up and wont/cant be changed due to lack of resources/talent'. Is what it should read

Yep, the “to many life sighs to find your bounty” wasput inafter launch of ROTW, for about 3 days droids would work but very buged, you would get a message “your bounty is on kash /:[poi_ryat_trails]” or something like that however no way point cuz of the mechanics of the dungeons.

Sloppy, inept coding. Go to the Ryaat trail, make a waypoint using /waypoint and whatever coordinates. I guarantee it will show up somewhere in the trail, but if you go to that location, it will not be there. Until they fix the LoS bugs in Ryaat , which I believe is the source of the problem, it will remain the same as it is now. Once LoS is fixed (beginning to wonder if it ever will be since it is so game breaking yet the devs haven't addressed it at all or even acknowledged it being a problem from what I have seen) then they will have to figure out a way for droids to track in specific instances...which we all know won't happen because this development team is seemingly inept and code very sloppily.

It's just 1's and 0's. As a programmer I can tell you it can be fixed. It's more likely they don't see it as a high priority.. they'd rather give us the Jabba land yacht.

On a conspiracy theory note, it's possible they want paddies to be able to grind without being hunted at all. I'm not a conspiracy theorist though.
