Droid Engineer Archive

I just had a customer come to me today and ask for 3 probots.
"No problem," I say, "Here ya go."

Sell him the droids and we continue on our merry way. About an hour later, he /tells me asking what is a vitality pack for 'cause one of his probot's has on option to "use vitaliy pack" in the menu.

I say, "huh? That's odd, none of the droids i've ever made had that option before."

And he says, "ya, it just showed up in my droid after he got KILLED."

And i say "@%#^$!??!, your droid got killed and you still have him in the data pad?"

and he says, "ya, i just called him out and i'm looking right at him. So what's this vitality pack thing all about?"

So i colapse to the floor in my workshop, and wake-up thinking it was a dream.

Could it be true? Is droid perma-death gone now? Can anybody confirm this? What do i tell him about vitality packs?

This droid that i'm talking about was just made 2 hours ago (noon cst)

Dont get too excited. That incident was probobly only a bug. If his droid dies again I bet it will stay dead this time.

...and there I was thinking that the patch notes were there to tell us important stuff

I've a probot that has died twice in PvP combat, and survived. It has lost vitality (down to 96/100 I think).

Haven't tested it in PvE.

Still Perma-Death in PVE, /points at Proto the probot's corpse... 3 womp rats > 1 Probot with light armor. Selling my first-born for Duralloy Steel.

You are correct MasterFulcrum,

My Probot died on the 2nd time when it was incapped, it probably just have the "first death is free" bug, not the vitality feature.
