Thread: Publish 7 Feedback: Droid & Droid Engineer Enhancements

Whilst I'm not weighing into the actual argument over what are good/bad changes (I don't have an opinion yet), these changes have been on the test center for quite some time, and it would not have taken a whole lot to read the release notes or hop onto the test center to discover these things for yourself while there was still time to be involved in the development process.
Complaining about things that have been known for some time (ie. no droidekas etc.) is counter-productive, and contributes to a whole lot of emotional wind that the developers have to sort through to actually find any bugs.
If the changes affect you so much, you should have read the notes and checked out the test center, and the test center forums before it went live.

Hey Stop Flaming!!
it was Said Many times! :
Droidicas: Publish 8
Advertising Droids: Publish 8
other High end Combat Droids: Publish 8
There is No Droid commander right now. so why should we Get Droidicas? even a droid commander can control them (cuz they are higher level 10).
in Publish 7 we got Combat droids with LEVEL 10. the level EVERYONE can control.
ok i have to say... the Armor nerf is BAD! (droids are made of Metal, and should have a high Armor ratings!)
and the Repairkits: may they're great, but THi think there are too much Modules/Rare recources we need to build them!
so far.... /bow

There is no Droid Commander added in Publish 8.
There is no new combat droids in Publish 8
THERE IS NO DROIDEKA in publish 8
All combat droids > CL10 were canceled when Droid Commander was aborted.
Just Found this on another thread......

They are NPCs in the Corellian Corvette.

I'm not sure if that stuff works or not, but thanks for stealth-nerfing my prenerf probot.
Prior to the publish my probot was:
- 40% Resists to All
- Medium Armor
Now, my probot is:
- 12% Resists to All
- No Armor
I don't think it's right for you guys to retroactively nerf legacy items.
Limbonik,

I demand my only non-useless droid returned immediately. Thank you.
Why would you hurt me that way!?!? You've always said you loved the droid I made you.

Respectfully,

You're serious? This is it?
That's two back to back publishes that add ABSOLUTELY no true content to this game.
Don't waste my time with the correlian Corvette or the Geonesian Bunker.
I remember when I used to log in to this game and have new and interesting things to check out.
You are losing me SOE, I've held out hope for this long. Been playing since Beta3. You are about to lose three accounts from me.
Return to hotfixes, return to frequent changes, make this game fun and changing and new.
My god, how insulting to the Droid Engineers is this publish.

Hehe,
I knew no one would like the class 10 droids. I personally liked the old probot droids. I wouldn't use them hunt rancors, but would use them to hunt magwax on yavin. Just had 5 of them in data pad and would rotate them.
Can't blame them for nerfing the armor though, with the ability to heal droids in combat they would be pretty powerfull.
What I don't understand is why the "COMBAT" droids are Creature Level 10 ?
Creature level 10 is about as useful as having a gnort for combat.... CL 10is an outrageous joke as far as combat is concerned for any Novice or higher. It's basically 2 seconds of hassle before they're dead.
Am I missing something?
2 seconds? umm thats how long my level 70 pet lasts in PvP lol... a CL 10 is less then a krettle attacking a group of racors.
Would i use a CL10 pet for anyting other then apperance? no way..regardless of if its a droid of a creature..
Should have done to combat nerf first.. then all this stuff. Look at what the CH class has to put up with (visit that angry forum) now you have upset the DE which was already sad.. at least the CH class had a moment of glory before thier nerf .. on to the mount thread!
I know alot of Droid Engineers didnt want the Droid Handler profession but....
ADD THE DROID HANDLER PROFESSION!
I want to see some player controlled droidekas!
Now, as always, we cannot vent at TH. He's just the messenger. Getting that out of the way, TH, you do a fantastic job. I wouldn't want it, but you do a good job.
To The Development Team:
-If you put as much effort into SWG as you do EQ, then this game might be worth the price.
-"Droid Invasion" should be renamed "The Adventures of Sideshow Bob." Why? Because that's a more fitting title for one.
-Make this game work. This is STAR WARS, not some crappy fantasy title that's like every other fantasy title out there (And yes, this was a jab at EQ.) For a massively successful phenomenon such as STAR WARS, the Development Team is not living up to our expectations. We, as paying customers, deserve to have a better game than this.
-This new Publish blows ass. Instead of adding one new dungeon per publish, how about half a dozen? Instead of fixing a half dozen things, how about fixing everything. If you want this game to be successful, I suggest you start churning out the fixes and the content. You can deny all you want, but everyone knows that you're losing customers and you're not receiving new ones to replace those leaving.
It seems to me that you people are just trying to keep this puppy afloat for as long as possible, in order to bring in the cash. Then, you'll let it go, just like Ultima Online. And yes, we all know Raph Koster's history.
