They hate DE profession, I been hearing promises since the original probot nerf, Still so many months later and nothing that really has value, I never wanted utility droids, i never signed for it, that your correspondent for that one at the time for not having the backbone to stick with his or her original combat droid plan, then givign the SOE DEVS a way to make things easier and do away witht he combat droids and helping everyone but my self and about 100 others that did not like the utility droid idea.

This whole droid patch is for the birds..


12 experiment points and can only craft up to 48% on certain items. When normaly with the high quality material I should be geting 98%. This was devestating for me. I Am happy they realized they needed to fix this issue.


1100 ham ayraknoid tracker droid 110-117 dam .89 speed, .35 to hit. IS the highest I been able to get even with 98% efficiany. This is bad. Even with stims a TKM walked up and killed it in one shot. A desert Brawler owned the poor thing. I am not sure how they say these bad boys can tank! They are likegnorts with motors...

62K is too much. I charge 30K for the adv probots, 35K for the adv r3s. Period.

Good for you...I believe in the laws of economics. Right now, there is a big demand, and hence the perceived value goes up until the demand decreases. I'm sticking to 200k for another day or two, I've made 20 mil so far and not looking back...but have now stocked my vendor with 100k priced ones...and by the time they have sold out, I'll drop down to 50k or so and stay there. This is not my only profession, so volume matters little to me...

I was hoping to be stoked about this upcoming publish but on the very first day when I was churning out advanced probots with 140-149 damage 1060 ham's 0.76 speeds.. I was like hmmm that's it?? Well let's take a look at it's armor.. Ohhhhhh well there's the kicker right there the upgrade is quite decent.. But to NERF BAT the armor COME ON!!!.. 40% medium down to 20% NOTHING.. is ridiculous.. I could make my pre model solo 2 quenkers at a time and work my unarmed skills and he would still be alive at the end.. Useless for another battle but still alive.. Now my new ADV probot .. Can do some serious damage and hits more times than a single quenker.. but dies WAY too quick...



Ahhh but is there a balance.. I can use a repair kit to heal him at the same time.. Wait it takes my mind ham away to do that.. And he's dying faster than I can heal him.. Ack I gotta wait till I can use another.. Uh oh the quenker turned on me and my mind is almost gone... AHHH *INCAP* hmmmm 50 seconds later....... STORE USELESS PROBOT.. *drink blue milk* Whip out the vibro knucklers... *WACK SMACK BASH* Dead Quenker... *glare at useless droid in the datapad* ohhhh ya they are SOOOO much better now.. GIVE ME BACK MY DROID ARMOR!!!! Then we will talk whether this invasion was worth the wait.. PFFT!!!

And To think I gave up Master Architect for Master Droid Engineer... ahhhhh what was I thinking...


Time to find a new hobbie...


Someone tell me why we are waiting for Publish 8 still??? errr Entertainer droids.. Spamming droids... errr and a droid with a one time use explosive... errrr ya.. that's all worth the wait THX SOE ...


Where do they get their idea's from??? and who didn't want COMBAT droids.. What could have been the coolest part of this game apart from becoming a JEDI!! has just gone and LEFT the building.. HELLOOOOOO!!!! I want my bloody DROID army .. I want to be able to bring out up to 5 droids at a time compared to their level like CH's can.. I want to have business knocking at my door constantly for the latest combat droids, new weapons for them, maybe a droid shield that can be added.. I MEAN COME ON repeat BUSINESS FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!!.... WORK with me here... I haven't seen that guy come back for a new crafting station droid in over 6 months now... ERRRR HELLOOO ... all we got is dern bounty hunter droids.. which aren't they bugged still too?? oh yeah they are... give us 3 more months and we will fix that right up for ya DE's... uh huh.. DROID INVASION!... errr is their a new dungeon with droids in it that you can kill.. umm no... are droids going crazy and attacking cities.. ummm no.. are their new combat model droids.. AKA DROIDEKA.. errr noooo...


Hmmmm what did they do in this publish that made a DROID INVASION.. aint no droids invading anything.. certainly are a lot of useless droids being destroyed now though.. Wow cool now us MDE's can make 30 - to 100k whatever moving junk piles.. that shoot a little faster and die twice as fast..


Oh but we can take them out anywhere.. errr ya so can CH's so what's the point of owning a droid over a lvl 10 pet or bio beast.. ummm wait let me think ummm you can donate to the crazy old master Droid Engineer fund cause now with a whole publish to ourselves.. oh wait a WHOLE publish named after us.. we are still the most useless crafting proffession.. at Least the chef got a complete upgrade .. I can't believe they actually downgraded us even more..



Pfft Twice as much materials for a droid twice as useless you gotta be kidding... This aint no start it's an end..


Ah well maybe I can salvage what's left of my month before the next publish and pick a crafting area that's actually useful to the public...

Think of them for what they are.. Pretty useful DOT's

My R3 (540 Combat Rating) was hitting for 70-130 damage at a speed of 1.5 - Now if you looted a wepaon with a DOT efect that could do that you'd be pretty chuffed wouldnt you...




with my T21 (not powered up)and master rifleman i can hit for 1500 dps easily on 1 to 10 targets simultaneously... i think i'll pass on your slow weak fragile67 dps R3
