What has happened with the patch 7 droids that were in use when the update occurred? Have they also had an increase in HAM and hopefully combat abiliity?

I'd like to see a bit more compressed information on these, as my customers are hitting me with tells a lot;


Armor rating: (still the same as yoghurt?)


Resists: (still 40% after the second call? or does it call correctly initially?)


Combat Module 100%: (Confirm please, that the estimatedperfectmin/max on one is 35/37, making the ADV probot 100% theoreticallycapable of 175/185, R3 of 192.5/203.5??)


Combat Module: Armor Piercing?(Please,please pleasesay AP Light or Medium in the Probot!)


Combat Module: SPEED and Hit numbers?


And finally HAM: (A theoretical 100% value for each combat capable chassis would be wonderful)


Thanks, by the way, to all you Test Center guys. I for one appreciate all your work.

Yep

It calls correctly the first time, but on the second call it goes to 40% (maximum is supposed to be 20%)


Combat Module 100%: (Confirm please, that the estimatedperfectmin/max on one is 35/37, making the ADV probot 100% theoreticallycapable of 175/185, R3 of 192.5/203.5??)


I'll have to check on this


Combat Module: Armor Piercing?(Please,please pleasesay AP Light or Medium in the Probot!)


No AP listed


Combat Module: SPEED and Hit numbers?

About what they were before, I'll see if I can get exact numbers later.


And finally HAM: (A theoretical 100% value for each combat capable chassis would be wonderful)

I'm about 90% sure its 3200 probot/DZ70, 4500 R-units, and 5200 LE's. I know those are close to being right, but not being in game to check I may be off.

No




Was this change intentional? Jenden / TK what is your opinion on having the patch 7 "combat droids" nerfed in the subsequent release?


TC Folks thanks a lot for the look ahead.

They've never really retroactively changed items (with the one exception of armor... but I've got some theories on how that worked). I don't think it was intentional, its just that it takes too much work to retroactively change each one (time which was better spent making new modules). I think the reason they were able to do it with armor is there was some form of global flag. All they had to do was change the flag for each level of armor. The droids themselves have stats that are stored individually for each droid. In order to change the droid's HAM, you'd have to go in and change it by hand.

The armor rating max. of 20% should still be valid/correct (yes, I've reported this and will
stay on it).



Resists: (still 40% after the second call? or does it call correctly initially?)


It calls correctly the first time, but on the second call it goes to 40% (maximum is supposed to be 20%)



Yes, this is still in evidence. I have it on the short list to get fixed.


Combat Module 100%: (Confirm please, that the estimatedperfectmin/max on one is 35/37, making the ADV probot 100% theoreticallycapable of 175/185, R3 of 192.5/203.5??)

Hmmm...those aren't quite right, from what I can tell.

I was making Combat modules at 72 all day long last night. I got to 411 and up at like 393 for a Probot's final Combat rating. I'd have to say that the max. Combat rating is likely tomax. at550 for Probots...but that's just a guess (so far).


Combat Module: Armor Piercing?(Please,please pleasesay AP Light or Medium in the Probot!)


No AP listed


Correct...this isn't there (nor will it likely be in the short term).


Combat Module: SPEED and Hit numbers?

About what they were before, I'll see if I can get exact numbers later.


Yes, I concur. These should be pretty close to what we've been seeing on P7 droids.



And finally HAM: (A theoretical 100% value for each combat capable chassis would be wonderful)


I'm about 90% sure its 3200 probot/DZ70, 4500 R-units, and 5200 LE's. I know those are close to being right, but not being in game to check I may be off.



Yea, I'd say these are about right. You should be able to count on numbers pretty close to this for the new max. HAM on these 3 droids, I think.
