Well, if there are frogs on TC-DuelMe, I will try to see what I can find out. Iwas running around kealing things with mypets when TC went down, after having discovered thatpetstamed in the prior versionweren't gaing Training Points and commands like they should have been. I'm hoping that if thiswas fixed, then theradial issue was fixed as well.


Now if only TC-DuelMe wouldload.

I really hope this doesn't get pushed live like this.





But you know it will.

Man, I must be getting to be a veteran here. I'm becoming jaded...





So what exactly are you trying to say?


Well hopefully some of our Bria toons can help out, I don't have anything there either.

Im running out of storage for all the droids I have to pull off my vendor because they no longer do what they are advertised as.


I hope it gets fixed up.

dont pull them off now wait till the patch gets thru TC first. you will have atleast a week or 2 before that happens, then if there is no word that there was a fix empty the vendors. Just put a armor module saying "beware due to patch 21 info from TC, Droids may not work right." above your vendors, and to make it noticaple get some sparkelers from a entertainer and put it around the module.

I'm out of the droid making business until this crap stabalizes. Nothing but chips and seekers ....unless there are plans to "upgrade" those as well.

Last time I checked, which was Version 0.127600, all other modules were working as intended (or at least as close as they were prior to the publish).


Unfortunately, I have been effectively removed from the DE testing process. I only hope that a couple of the Bria DEs can jump on for a while and test to see if anything has changed. I don't even have enough credits to level my aspiring CH twins, on TC-Bria, let alone have the resources and everything else needed to grind out a temporary DE.

/cheer Kejid

I ran into Kejid on the Live version of Bria and he agreed to assist me on TC-Bria by crafting a couple of droids for me, and a chunk of pocket change.


Good news is that droids are coming out with the proper commands again. They no longer have only the Follow me command listed as being programmed.


The bad news is that the above mentioned droids with an additional radial menu are still borked.

Heres to hoping that they will be fixed in the next version.

For all the work you do. All the guides, all the testing.


Does this guy ever have time to just play the game?

I think I will be holding off making a large amount of droids until i hear more. This is a very bad sign if this all goes to live. I will hold judgement until it's uploaded.

Fortunately my main sales come from Space and Bounty Hunter items and the tools. Since Publish 18 I stopped making combat droids and only have about 10 droids that don't fit in the categories mentioned already and these are crafting and medic droids.


However, sounds like my scout and merchant droids will have a problem if this isnt fixed and I just sold 2 last night .. gulp.


I too wish I had a character on Bria but for some reason my bountiful Rage DE doesn't get a chance to test.

If This Goes Live...


apparently *WE DON'T MATTER*


With all the bugs this profession has had and now these new things, what is the point? I know it's gonna take a lot more than this to get me to give up MDE much less SWG altogether, but that is only cause I am who I am. Others have been falling by the wayside since the GREAT CU. **I really think we need to have a DE strike.** (Only if it goes live though) No droids on any vendor nor on the bazaar. Nothing, not a droid or flight computer in sight anywhere. Then we should get all our customers to complain too. Any potential customer that asks for a droid, politely tell them that droids don't work at the moment and they need to complain themselves that they can't get what they need/want. Maybe ifsome of those peopleare jedi, devs will listen and actually look into our problems. I know strike is a harsh word, but if this goes live... It Will Kill Our Profession!

Ok the rant is out of the way... there is no way they can let this go live. It would just be stupid. It would bug basically everything we can build. The Droid Engineer profession would be dead in it's tracks, and how crippled are we anyway?


I tried my TC toon last night. After getting 2 1/2 hours of updates, hadn't played there since jtl beta, I got to test 1 combat droid. The droid came from data pad and the commands I had already programmed in it worked, like attack and follow, but the auto repair was missing from the radical and I couldn't add/change any commands. I have a couple det droids and one other, can't remember what kind, that I may try tonight to see what works/doesn't. The combat droid was a pre-CU probot with probably 4 combat mods and 1 auto repair mod.


One other slightly blonde question... I have heard many names for test center... is there one, or are there multiple. I thought my toon was on a bria test center but while it was updating the selection window up top said she was on Ahazi, (she is a bothan that plays on bria) and when I load to character select or create character only one test center shows. What is TC-Prime or TC-Bria or TC-Whatever? From what I have read, TC-prime is it unless more is needed. How do I know which I am on? Just figured it was TC-Bria since it was a Bria character I play some, not a strictly TC character.
