Droid Engineer Archive

I'll say it again im a bounty hunter and i would love to have a new kind of battle droid like a droideka from episode 1or better yet Ig88 bounty hunting droids or other droids of that kind.I really want them to fix this professtion. I think it would make the game better all around and therewould be a decrease in ch as well.

If the dev's read this i hope you make these changes or a will spam this forum until you do hahaha.

All what Keowa said is true, DE is not good profession. Architects are doing well now, because of Player cities, armor and weaponsmiths are always needed, because of fighters, but what we need droids for?

Combat droids ain't good, even non-ch animals are better.

And why would anyone buy a surgical droid?You can always buy mousedroid with medical module. They are much cheaper. And I want to know what are protocol droids for? Everyone can speak every language. Why you need a translater droid for? It can't even fight.

Droid Engineer is totally broken, only reason why people chooses it is, that droids are important part of Star Wars.

There is some good solutions for this probelm:

1. Give us better combat droid, now we have probot, whoohoo

2. Give us more droids, droids what can really do something, like heal me for an example

3. Give us Land speeder and swoop bike, this would be good, I mean why should you make a whole new profession to2 vehicles...? Creature handler is more popular then ever now, because of mounts. This would increase the number of DE too.

DEs got really screwed over. Nothing has come out for em. all droids suck xcept for surgical droids so u can heal. Anyway the devs better think up something b4 the whole profession goes down the drain. I think a strike would be a good idea. Maybe DE's will be able to make the vehicles when it comes out. that would be cool! And they could make money then!

I think limiting us to one droid out at a time is completly stupid. Look at CH they can have super powered rancors and have 2 of them out! We can have 1 probot that can take out a kreetle at the most. I think we deserve ful blown droiddeckas(or whateever they are called) The trooper droids from episode 1. I also think we deserve vehicles considering most vehicles are just droids but mountable.

The issue with the durability rating is both a universal thing to all crafting items and a bug as well. If you craft an item, expiriment but get a fail and it drops to 0, it will never go back up. The problem is that, since the durability starts at 0, it can never go higher.

When I can summon a droid without a house, camp, or city, which I should be able to do, then I'll accept auto store. Not every area has a public building, not every harvester run has a scout in the group. I am capable of deciding when I want to call/store a droid, don't force one on me, and force me to use 15 skill points to be able to do the other.

RAISE THE PRIORITY OF DROIDS IN THIS GAME, AND GIVE SOMETHING TO THE GAME AS A WHOLE THROUGH DROIDS.

I agree. I'm new to this game. When I first started playing (two weeks ago), I thought CH and all the creature mounts were cool.

I pursued droid engineer anyways. I assumed it would be as interesting as CH. But now I'm somewhat disenheartened.

In the Star Wars universe, everyone is walking around with droids at their beck and call, often following them around everywhere they go.

In the Star Wars Galaxies universe, everyone is walking around with tamed wild animals at their beck and call, often following them around everywhere they go in mass.

As cool as they are, I'm sick of looking at creature pets. I've only been playing the game for two weeks and I'm sick of them. Whether its intentional or not, creature pets ARE the defining feature of this game, and that's not right. Star Wars is a science fiction universe isn't it?!??

What i am sick of is the devs seem to complain that they've created a pet wars situation.

Thats what happens when you make CH so easy to get to, make creatures so ungodly broken, make them require so little upkeep, THEN release mounts which everyone can ride and everyone wants because it sucks to walk.

They engineered this situation, how could the current state be anything but intentional?

I have been Master DE for about 2 months now...But now Im probably gonna drop it...Im tired of getting nerf in updates, not being able to have 2 droids out when Master CH can have 2 pets out...Why the H... can CH have rancor and Graul Mauler, when we only get (weak as H....) Probot...which is controllable by anyone...

Im wondering why SOE decided to put DE in the game in the first place...If this is what the game is gonna be like, then Im only giving it a lifespan of 3-4 months more.

I'd have to say that my biggest complaint as a newbie is the complete and total lack of any documentation in game or in the manual on the DE profession. So much of my time was wasted because of this. It's one of the most complicated professions and it has no documentation at all.

Fan web-sites don't count because one doesn't know to look for them until after one has become frustrated to the extreme by the game itself.

Nice post Mishad. I didn't even think about not being able to call your droid out again after is auto stored.
I rarely pull my droids out unless I am in a house, city, or camp 'cause mine are walking crafting stations.
This is usually not a problem for me cause I can make my own camps. So I whip one up. Pull out my droid and start crafting while he beeps around- Would be cool if he actually said things though.
Does everyone have camps in there generic crafter or is that a scout thing- I've had scout since the get go so I don't know.

pretty sure I didn't have it as an option until I took Novice Scout. I don't think you can use a camp kit if your not a scout anyway though.

What i think they need is aspecial DE slot like the force sensitive slot so your not wasting skill credits on Master Artisan and Master DE because you pretty much need Master Art for MDE, or maybe they should make it like on Asherons Call 2 where it sucked so much you can download a 2week trial or get a month free by buying it for 30bucks with 30dollar rebate then just cancel subscription so you dont pay, so maybe they should have a special download that gives you 2weeks to play as an MDE to see how useless it is and not waste the skill credits.
