Thread: Creative Predictions What will break for DE's in Publish 6?

Anyone who has been playing this game long enough knows that whenever a major game update occurs, something bad is bound to happen to the Droid Engineering profession, even though the DE add-ons in each publish have been trivial at best. The most famous of these DE bugs was when a high percentage of our droids suddenly became uncraftable.


With the upcoming release of Publish 6, it may be interesting to predict what will be the "Big DE Break" this time around. If we're lucky, it will be nothing, but experience says otherwise.


So, let's hear your predictions! Here are a few for starters:



- Droids will no longer be rechargable.


- Humanoid droids will now be namable, but all others will not.


- Droid deeds will be listed as "Fish Bait" on vendors.


- Probots will turn into a poorly-designed bubble rendition of their former selves.


- All droids will immediately flee from their masters when called out of the datapad.


- The droid customization kit will be renamed to Vehicle Customization Kit, and will only work on mounts.

Module clusters will no longer fit in general module slots... but neither will general modules.
Droid colors will stop sticking alltogether... (again)

The module slot on BLL's won't actually take any modules

Data modules will now be able to hold waypoints, but only for Bounty Hunter's "Jedi hunting" missions, which never worked in the first place.



In response to the all the heckling of the Developers about previous mistatements, Probots willgenuinely have "10 charges". Now, they will perform the "falling apart Probot animation" on it's 11th pull from your datapad, forcing you to buy a new one.



Droid Customization Kits will cease to work on droids, but they'll allow players to color their clothes and armor... much to the dismay of Armorsmiths and Tailors everywhere. Fashion sense ceases to exist in the SWG universe.

Next time we try to call a droid... the *Low Power* mesage will appear directly and we wont be able to call any droid out


All droids with multiple crafting stations in it will behave as if they only have one (random one each time we call it out)

Probots will come out with borked animatations. Woopsies! That one is confirmed for Publish 6.


Probots will contintinue firing at a creature lair even if told to follow, if they are ordered to attack the lair and subsequently go *low power* while attacking. Woops. That one's there too.

17) MSE droids now have a 812 HAM with 50-60 DMG and Heavy Armor. But when attacked will run away and explode.


18) When stopped by stormtroopers for the imperial crack down, the stormtroopers will now address you as "All your droids are belong to us" and then the stormtroopers will confiscate all droids in your datapad. (You didnt need them anyways)

Well, you were right about the probot
They are at the deadline for publish 6, so the texture fix for the probot will come later.

Ha!

they will finish the vehicle customization kit 100% with 0 flaws, then try and copy paste it onto the droid customization kit. it wlll customize all droids in a 64m radius, never use charges, and actually end up causing duplicate droids to appear.


this will be their droid invasion.

Except for Jedis , who will be able to use the command /thesearentthedroidsyourelookingfor to avoid the confiscation.




Move along!
