Droid Engineer Archive

Droid Engineer Rho, the problem is that we don't sell droids. Well at least not to me, I sell 9 or so droids a day...

The problem is, they are all the same!!!

Those 10 sells are always about:

-2 medical food/chem droids

-2 probots

- 2 seeker crates

-2 probe crates

- 1 weapon crafting droid

Once every 4 days or so, a protocol droid is sold, that does nothing but guess people have too much money

See the problem? Always the same freaking droids! I don't care about money, I make about 100k a day out of droid sales. It's just boring making the same 4 freaking droids over and over. I just want more usefulness, is that so wrong?

Frankly I already threw in the towel a long time ago. The bad part is I have been giving them MORE money with an alternate character on this server. The Devs turning my Artisan class into a Metal Creature Handler is a step in the WRONG direction if you ask me. Why in the world would a Droid Engineer manage multiple droids? Give that ability to Squad Leaders.

I WANT TO SELL DROIDS, not use them.

I'm with you Rho. I'm a Droid Engineer to the end, because I'm patient enough to sit back and wait it out. I've been a Droid Engineer for about 3 months now and a Master for almost 2 months now. So what if droids aren't perfect. Guess what, I've yet to see a profession in SWG that works 100% like it is intended to. I make droids and sell droids every day. Right now, my bank account is sitting at almost 4 million and 90% of that is from nothing but droid sales, which are mostly priced at 15k. I also have 25 Heavy Harvesters, a PA hall,6 factories, a medium house, around 1 million resources, and enough high quality weapons and armor for 3 people. I'm stating these items to brag, but instead I'm trying to prove a point. I've done quite well for myself as a Droid Engineer and any additions to my profession will only make me more successful than I already am.

1. The Combat Droids should help. Otherwise, try advertising. I'm doing quite well, sellling several high-level droids each day; making a lot of money.

2. Check the Dev Tracker for Friday. They're seriously nerfing the CHs. The highest level creature that a non-CH can have will be level 10, and they'll only be able to have one out.

I think it's essential that everyone be able to handle multiple droids AND be able to hold more droids in their datapads; especially DEs who basically have to keep one data slot open so they can handle customer droids, from time to time.

1) Repair Droids are useless unless a person can repair his own droids with them.

2) Power Droids are useless unless a person can recharge his own droids with them.

3) One combat droid to fight, and another droid to heal the player's wounds would be an optimal arrangement. A DE could go to town with a Repair Droid out AND a Power Droid out, and could buff-up everyone's droids.

4) If Luke can drag around a 3PO droid and an R2, then why can't everyone?

Well I cancelled my account a couple of weeks ago. I have been looking for a reason to come back before the paid up subscription runs out Nov 6. Recent updates and "proposed" updates just make me more glad I am leaving SWG. So to all the DEs out there....good luck...you are going to need it. To SWG, Sony, and Lucas arts....LOL..nice try!
