I am not a DE, or a Jedi, but It seems to me that this patch and the next few patches devote more time to the Jedi class than the DE class.


How do you feel about this?


A class of elite players with a severly limited player base, not to mention only 4 or 5 months old. Has had or will have multiple changes:


No Perma death

No fail on repairing weapons

No loss of looted items on Light sabers

Special Jedi Quests

Entire profeshen revamp

No Scans from Imperial crackdown

not to mention all the time put into Holos and the new FSCS unlocking system


DE changes

Probot nerf

cl 10 combat droids


Im not an expert on this, but If I was a droid engineer I would be very upset

More like a "Droid Module Invasion", that wallpaper is so misleading.

People, people PLEASE! They still have time to add more stuff, like more modules and looted schematics.

its been said that the Droid invasion wont trully be complete until the publish after next. this next publish is just getting the moduels working, only after that will we start seeing new droid models etc

Have you looked at the planned modules? Four. Three of which can be bought once, like all other droid stuff, and the fourth will most likely be a novelty item only to avoid being 'overpowered' (exploding droid).

No. Not really. The "Droid Invasion" is Publish 7, and they'd said it would go live on Tuesday. They're probably not working the weekend, so they have Monday to polish it up before it goes live.

The theme for publish 7 is the "Droid Invasion". The theme for Publish 8 is "Droids Rebuilt". So, technically, the droid invasion is complete once Publish 7 goes live.

Correct, the entire Droid Evasion is complete on tuesday. The Weird Droids for Once In A While is coming in Pub 8. Now that we're all clear....

HEH...I thought this "Droid Invasion" would be a big scam since the day they pushed the publish back because they wanted to work on other professions first.

Correct. The full plan is that this is a two-part DE set of changes. P7 adds the first round and P8 adds the second round.


So, we're only seeing some of the full list of changes in P7.





It may be a 2-publish set of changes, but this Publish is entitled "Droid Invasion". That's a huge overstatement. TK, I know you're trying your best to keep a positive spin on things, but their "Droid Invasion" is misleading, at best.


They're making it much harder to make less effective droids (at least in what their role is/was currently) andthey're rendering almost completely useless any Probots made pre-patch.


If they're going to do similar things with Publish 8 (supposedly titled "Droids Rebuilt"), I'm not sure how much longer I'll be sticking around.


Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, and the Droids are the ones getting Invaded? /shrug

With this being a retroactive change to Probots, is this the final end of the Pre-Nerf (thats the nerf before this one) Probot?


I guess it is eh?


Oh Dear.

Yup...but we all know it wouldn't be the first time. By way of example, my Live toon has never been scanned since the start of the Imperial Crackdown. I've logged to TC a total of about 5 times (3 in the last 36 hours) and I got scanned once already.
