Sliced weapons do display the slicer name (unless its a mission reward such asa nym carbine). So long as the weapon is sliced, the slicer will show up as object creator

This must be an intermittent bug. I just examined all of my weapons and armor, all sliced, and every single item displayed the actual crafter's name as the object creator. I don't doubt you if you tell me it happens sometimes, but it hasn't happened to me.

I' very glad the crafting changes are going to be rolled back.

Seems that 10-point crafters are better off on single-stat items (which isn't many) and worse off on multi-stat items, but that 12-point crafters are far better off across the board.

I really don't want to see an economy where experimentation tapes are even more 'uber loot' than they are now. The borgle bat cave bot-campers don't deserve the 10's of millions they get now, and this will make those tapes worth even more.

Something need to be done with War Cry now that it is usless...the cone effect needs to go, it has to be an AoE..otherwise whats the point?

I think the reason you dont see any high level combat droids for players is because the Droid Engineer community didnt want a Droid Handler profession.

Personally I would have welcomed the Droid Handler profession so DE would have a viable product and combat droids would have been more common.

My two cents

TH/Devs,
Please relate to us where do we find the droids in the wallpaper released for this publish.
Granted we wont have the background bots as pets, but are they even in the game?

They are NPCs in the Corellian Corvette.

I was under the impression that most of the DE community didn't want combat droids and was the exact reason the droid controller class does not exist, I also thought that all they wanted were more utility droids which is what they are getting in the next publish.

Yes, but...

We didn't ask SOE to make it seem like we were getting new combat droids in the "droid invasion" and we didn't ask for an armor nerf. I'm very happy without new combat droids, but nerfing the armor is going to kill us.

Nope. No need droids.

We are getting 4 utility modules in patch 8.

--A module that allows Entertainers to do new "special effects" during shows.

--A module that will self destruct a droid like a suicide bomber.

--A module that will detect Covert Detectors, and possibly disable them.

--A module that will bark ads... because there isn't enough spam in Theed and Corellia.

That's it. No new droids.

I can't say too much in terms of the Heavy Acid Rifle's new effectiveness just yet (aside from what's been said thousands of times already) but the animation for Acid Cone 2 is still broken, and right now there is no animation at all when this special is used.

I agree, what made probots at least somewhat useful was their medium armor now that they have light armor their ham should be at least 4k to be inline with the lvl10 pets that BE can make as well as the damage being increased. personally i'd prefer to have one of those generic combat droids from ep1 but thats just me.
