but seriously CL10 Combat droids.. already have the DZ-70 and Probot.. what more do we need? other then maybe an R2 with a CDEF ducttapped to the dome or even better yet how about C3P0 with a CDEF superglued into his hand? Two more months for that and then maybe another 6 weeks for the new modules? so July if we are lucky.. But I decided to make my choice know by canceling..

Personally, I dont care about combat droids at all. I would prefer utility droids AND A LOT OF BUG FIXES in Publish 7 and combat droids after that.

In the next two publishes, after crackdown, we are focusing specifically on Droids. We plan on implementing combat droids (< level 10) in P7, and Utility Droids in P8.
My apologies for not posting here more often, it is a big game with alot of moving parts. And I am sorry if you are pissed as a group about my November quote, I hope I have explained, and I hope you understand, that things change. Your publish has been moved back one, and it is next.
You have all of our development attention now.

Well, from that tone, it appears he has arrived with a hate for DE. Before all this, he disliked us, now he just plain hates us.
I can't wait to see what the nerfs and ignorant additions are for the DE.
I am sorry to say, but it appears by reading through the forum that the "Utility Droids" are going to add this skill or add to that skill for a person...That is NOT a utility droid....that is a "Stat/Effectiveness Modifying Droids" I wish they would get this right:
A UTILITY DROID does stuff!
- Deliveries (don't got it)
- Pickups (don't got it)
- Tends Harvesters (don't got it)
- Reports Information (don't got it)
- Carries Stuff (got it)
- Picks Locks (don't got it)
- Programs Other Droids (don't got it)
- Greets Visitors (don't got it)
- Offers its Own Ideas and Recommendation whether you want it or not. (don't got it) [C-3PO: "...and I do recommend youaccept his offer.... He agrees!"] {This is from Return of The Jedi when Leia is in disguise rescuing Han Solo}
Don't get me wrong. Stat/Effectiveness Modifying Droids are nice and will be a good addition...but I think they misunderstood our request for "Utility Droids."
I sure hope one of them takes a lookat this.

Well, the DZ70 hardly qualifies as a combat droid in its current form. When I'm bored I make a few of them and sick 'em on Chubas so that the Chubas don't get depressed about always losing to newbies.
Besides, having an alternative to the Probot as a combat sidekick would be cool. Something that works hand-to-hand would be cool. Or maybe something that does more damage but has less armor (or HAM) to compensate.
Yeah, I agree. Maybe they could have them do special attacks commandable by the droid owner.
Besides, I am not gonna complain about lvl 10 Roger-Roger Battle Droids -- especially if they give MDEs and extra one! Woot! Either way people would be jazzed about the Roger-Rogers.
Amen. Brother. I have not dropped, but I have not done any serious crafting in like two weeks. Need to mail out apologies to the customers.

If things keep going the way they are, and our Correspondent continues to support it we MDE will fall in suit with Bio-Engineers. We make products for only one combat class, effectively a wet nurse supplier for a specific droid combat class.
Personally I would be very impressed with our Correspondent if he appealed to SOE to give we current MDE a full Master Crafting Class respeck. It truly is the honorable thing to do.
