Thread: Petition-keep combat droid certifications out DE tree
1. I really like Droid Engineer being a Crafters Profession that is braved by only a hardy few.
2. I want combat droids, but, I don't want thousands of players becomeing droid engineers just to have cool droids.
3. I think the certifications should not be in the Droid Engineer Tree so people won't have to become DE, this would allow more people to enjoy the combat droids (with the exception of the Master DE only droideka of course)
**If you agree with me please give this post a bump with your supporting thread**
my suggestion is
Probot = every player can use
BattleDroid = any player with Master in a Base ProfessionOR Novice in an Elite Profession
SuperBattleDroid = any player with an Elite Master Title
Droideka = Master Droid Engineer Only
Eh what the hell, there's nothing like beating a dead horse. You say limit nothing when it comes to DE's, my philosophy is limit nothing when it comes to players. Droids are an integral part of star wars, and whether we like it or not the majority of the characters out there are combat oriented, now, by limiting combat droids (even just high level ones) to DE's only your taking away one of the core aspects of star wars for those who should be able to use it and giving it to those who have no need for it (If you need anything more than a probot to check your harvesters you need to find a new place to drop them). Now, in my opinion (which I acknowlege will get flamed and one-starred like none other), the highest level combat droids should be certed for SL, maybe BH, as this makes the most sense, and DE's should not get to use any better droids than say a master tailor. Why? Do I have some burning desire to hold back DE's? Am I really a CH in desguise who doesn't want competition for pets? No, because I want there to be more to the game than combat. Each time you give a non-combat profession combat skills (which would include decent combat droid certs) you take some of that away. You can argue all you want that I can play it my way and not involve myself in combat, but the devs don't have limitless resources. Every combat aspect takes away from a non-combat aspect, whether you see it or not.
Ok, the rant ended up a bit longer than I had intended, so I'll end it there.
I couldn't disagree more. Sounds like you want to be in a profession that is rare to find with not a lot of players. That's what you like and thats fine but your trying to push this on the rest of us. No Thank you.
Your suggestions above force people to master professions that they may not want to in order to use the droid they have.
I see your reasoning behind your choices above (including Droideka staying MDE because you like Droideka's) but your choices arent flexible enough for people to make choices.
Finally, DE is hard enough to grind and costs a small fortune in resources in order to get through. It's about time that we have something that will give us a chance to make something useful. Come on people when was the last time you created a Binary Load Lifter?
Just my 2 credits.

I am totally on board with this. In fact, for every master elite profession, there should be a droid that gives him a bonus over those who have not mastered it. Like for Master Squadleader has the "Tactical Droid" which when it is deployed gives him a better view of the battle field situation and so he gets certain plusses to his SL abilities.

THE HORSE IS DEAD, IT IS BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP AND MADE INTO GLUE
This topic has been done to DEATH, but I understand its recurrence with so many new DEs popping up. But the devs have said NOTHING about how exactly are they going to do this, so this is a petition of something you have NO IDEA what changes are going to be made.
Whenyou people aregoing to make ANOTHER stupid petition, do it WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING FACTUAL TO BASE IT ON AND NOT JUST ASSUMPTIONS.
It makes me want to dance naked around a dead badgerbody roasting in a bonfire to some nordic gods in an effort to curse you.
