I use to have the thought that they can seem to mess DE up any worse... well with the last CH publish they seemed have ruined DE for me... I don't think I will drop it, but It makes SWG less fun now... I'm afraid to log in and have people complaining that my droids don't work or I didn't make them right.

I've not seen a Red name say something like "we're working on it..." or something close to it. I know they are damned if they do and damned if you don't... but I don't know what else to say anymore. I wish I could be more up beat or positive... but I feel like taking all my droids off my vendors and not sell anything.

i had a customer ask me today, is the 7000 armor dropping down to 1200 working as intended or is that a bug?


my reply " the devs have not told us =( "


his response "nice... "


he still bought 2 droids, but i could hardly sell him on broken auto repair for the combat droid in the hopes that it would one day work.



oh well at least probes and seekers are selling again

I'm really frustrated that the devs haven't even acknowledged that there is a problem and then I look at the dev tracker and read about small things incomparison like instruments moving.

ps. I'm not knocking the fact that the above is a bug/annoying/etc and that alot of other professions have really bad bugs, but to not hear anything about a bug that breaks droid engineers this much is unbelievable.

pps. It's also really nice to see the devs posting on the boards, but I wish that they'd post more serious comments, other than friday features and tuesday tips.

I know it doesn't help much but they are aware of it and they do acknowledge it... just haven't been able to get them to put up a post on the boards to that effect.

You need a pay raise. I'll stop my down-and-out posts now. I think I am beginning to feel better, RL-wise anyway.

The so-called "Community Relations" for this game are pathetic. For people whose job it is to communicate with the player base, there is almost no two-way communication. Threads are started to get bugs and such from players, never to be commented on again. The main SOE liason (Tiggs) posts 2-3 times a day, and when it's an actual response to a player query, it's combative.


I'd love to see a customer relations executive in a real world job try to get away with that.

Actually, that does make me feel a bit better about this situation. Thanks Jenden.

Sad to say, but this has killed me. DE has always been bugged, and has had useless droids (Load Lifter comes to mind), but now to have basically 2 things to make--astromech/flight computers and BH stuff--has simply taken the fun out of it for me. After 2 years I've lost hope that things will ever change. I'm hanging up my schematics.


I truly hope that things will change, but after 2 years of false promises and empty dreams I can't take it anymore. My blessings to all who remain and keep hope alive. I do still harbour hope and pray that DE gets the attention it truly deserves. Droids are a central column of the Star Wars framework, and it is sad to see so few non-npc droids in SWG.


Good luck, and peace to you.

I am currently only making 10 item storage MSE droids and BH droids.


3 products to sell, great...


I think it goes without saying that they ripped something out of the code when they overhauled CH pets. Given that the "train" option for CH pets used to have a drop-down selection of items and now it's just a clicky, somebody got into the radial menu code and hosed us completely. It appears, thus far, that the radial menu code for droids with storage modules didn't get hosed. Could be a red herring, but all signs point to...


no storage module = useless droid


storage module = functioning droid


I certainly hopethey get a move on with this, not pleased with a 2nd week of being unable to sell pretty much every droid I can make because I'm worried they'll be bugged, and I hate disappointing customers (I avoid having to refund at all costs).

I still sell a good amount of R4 pilot models with a L3/L4/L5/L6 data module, L6 storage, a combat module and a L6 armor module (these replaced the medical R4s I used to sell). Good cheap configuration that can serve as a plain ol' storage droid but also as a rebel pilot helper and a CL30 combat buddy. It's only 30k, so a bargain for most.
