You do not get the droid's level if the droid is higher (so level 1 people don't get to 18 when grouped with a probot). On the other hand, last I checked, the droid did get your level if yours was higher. So a droid grouped with a level 80 player will have level 80 damage/defense bonuses. That may have changed since I had a chance to test it last though.

Man, I just keep getting it from 2 sides.


As you guys know I got my Jedi recently, could I have picked 2 worse ways to spend my time?


My mentality the past few days...


-Most Droids arn't working, so I plan on working Jedi.


-Jedi XP is messed up, kind of hard to get 400k xp for my boxes when the best I can get is 1 xp from stuf that doesn't kill me.


-So then I figure, I will make a whole ton of combat droids to sell until they fix Jedi. Umm wait, they broke those now too, no point making the other broken droids.


-So then I figure there HAS to be something that I can kill on my Jedi and can something for decent xp. Only to find out that they changed it to where ADK's don't work on sabers anymore. So the 3 decent pearls i have wont last very long.


I know this isn't al lexactly DE related, but man I am getting really annoyed now, I can't do anyhting that I love anymore.

I haven't had a chance to log on yet, but I'll be checking it out as soon as I do. I'll also see if I can get some info from the Dev's. I'm really really hoping that they didn't take my comment about old droids not converting up to the stats of the new ones (back when new droids were getting more HAM) too far...

Jenden, you're spot on. A droids CL changes to match the highest combat level in a group, even if it is lower than the CL 18 default.


Combat droids are awesome post CU. I can't stress how useful they are. Their health recharges rapidly and they Guard you as well as ever before.


DE's shouldn't worry about building the Droids Health lower than before the CU either, with the new recharge rates and new damage values Droids are comparatively tough. They kick out decent damage too.


A friend and Iwere hunting Mountain Dewbacks and Tusken Captains last night (CL 24 and 33 respectively). We grouped raising both of us as well as our two Droids (R3 ADV and a Probot ADV) to Combat Level 22. We more than survived and the Droids performed brilliantly.


My Probot is guarding me fine while I harvest or set up my Factory runs, if I'm attacked it intercepts the attacker while I retreat to a safe distance. Provided it does most of the damagethe droidTanks perfectly, I can let my Droid wear a tough opponent down then join in to finish it off in relative safety. So far I haven't been incapacitated yet.


Orders for Combat Droids are flowing in now, the CU has really helped business for me.


(Remember, keep your Advanced Droid prices high! If you try and undercut prices just to drum up business all you've done is lost out on credits that someone would have paid you otherwise!)

I have some good news for Droids..................bad news for CH's......................Here is my lil story about a MCH on Nartius (me)



just signed on to Nartius.......................


Checked out my pride and joy Agamemnon my TMBL(was lvl 45 Pre CU 10800 HAM, Light armor 340-440 dmg 50ish knet res ans 60 on the rest cept enegery, aka an arse kicker)


Was shocked to see new stats (Post CU lvl 54 5000ish HAM, no armor, 74-300ish damage...) not good I thought


Went to Dant any way took a lvl 61 Voritor lair mission I am lvl 63 MCH some carb 0/2/1/4 I think and medic /0/04/0


Fought voritors with Agamemnon was dissapointed he did not keep agro, but plesantlysurprised it did not matter beacuse I toor through them anyway.....



Friend joins and fights one/one with his lvl 18 probe bot, prob bot barley winsso I fight one/one with my (now) lvl 54 TMBL, TMB wins has half health, but the fight lasted just about as long beacuse the damage output was about the same on average.......


So we start thinking and we both took out our lvl 18(63 when grouped)probe bots and send them after a voritor and it was truly a sad sight, they kicked its arse so damn bad it was not funny.......


I would bet 2 lvl 18 probe bots would mop the floor with my (now) lvl 54 TMBL......................


So now I will be respec'ng MCH to MBH and using my kick arse prob-bot..................


Now if only we would get real combat droids.........................

/sigh

So should we resign ourselves to the fact that the probot's HAM won't go beyond 2596? Jenden, can we get confirmation that the droid's HAM change is by-design, or if it's a bug? I got a factory build of probots waiting on this...

Yes Jenden, please, we need to know one way or the other. I know you can only pass on what you are told.


If it's by design, we start to make the droids. If it's a bug that will be fixed soon, we wait. If it's a bug that wont be fixed soon, we make models that are a little weaker then we can.


No point in making models that will be obsolete next week.

I threw up another quick request for a simple yes/no/maybe, so hopefully I get a response.

I wonder how they come up with these bright ideas? I'm really disappointed.

Its being looked into... so I'd hold off on any large production runs (NOTE: that does not mean they necessarily are going to up it back, just that they're looking into it).
