Droid Engineer Archive

The problem is the last time they proclaimed they were fixing us they listed a plan that was ch wrapped in a metal package. So this is somewhat concerning that they havent listened toa single thing we have said.

Thanks for the link, DarthRoe.Much appreciated.

Out of curiosity, I don't recall seeing this suggested by any rednames before; where did you get this idea? Did I miss something somewhere?

Read the Official Droid Engineering Plan stickied at the top of our forum. One of thier "Plans" was to add combat modules making every droid a potential combat droid.

This may not necessarily mean the animations of a 3PO firing a weapon. It could mean the animations of a protocol droid during combat. Given that the current non-combat droids run away from combat,SOE maybe making specific animations for it. So ala C-3PO, the protocol droid may throw its arms into the air while it scurries away from a battle. And actually, that would be kind of cool!

Though entirely possible, I find that even more disturbing. Because that means they used an Art guy who could have been working on something important like new droids to make a running away animation for a droid no one in their right mind would have out in combat. That would tell me that they have some serious lack of direction and leadership issues going on over there.

Yeah, does George Lucas know what's going on here? Some day he's going to take a break from filming and walk into Lucasarts to see how SWG is coming along and he's going to go, W-T-F?? Where's all the droids? Why is 3-P-O carring a gun? Why are mouse droids blowing up? Why can't probots kill anything? Why aren't the binary load lifters lifting anything? Why are all the droid engineers sleeping in the streets and begging for change? You're all fired! And I'm going to sit here, and I'm going to laugh.

Surely George couldn't have put his stamp of approval on this outrage.

Holy crap SOE...don't you get the hint that no DE wants to see our non combat droids as combat droids...are you fricken retarded over there? Maybe the monitor radiation is causeing bring damage? TRY LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS....WE DON'T WANT TO SEE R2 OR ANY OTHERS WITH COMBAT MODULES...GIVE US NEW FRICKEN DROIDS FOR COMBAT OR NONE AT ALL!

Of course, there is the chance when January comes that you might not want to believe what youre seeing

Heres to hoping that the bugs that plagues this class gets fixed before them, and the changes in the new year make the class a viable profession

Thanks Roe,

Made droids private crafting stations again.

Well that a relief. Ok so 1 "patch created" bug, fixed.

Added protocol droid combat animations

Umm... Yyyyyeahh ok.... Either this was something that was supposed to happen at release and we didn't even know it was bugged all this time -or they are preparing Protocol droids to use weapons -or someone at SOE was extremely bored and tossed us a fish head to snack on while we wait for the real stuff.

Fixed bug where probot reassembles after being destroyed

This has to be an NPC fix because according to last patch notes, Probots go back into the datapadafter being destroyed.This has nothing to do with droid engineers.

This is about as impressive as the DE comment in the last patch notes.

Nah this is purely a cosmetic fix, the droid appears to reassemble itself, although its still incapped and should be lying on the floor in pieces. So pretty much a waste of time, considering the length of Gorantoths list...

Surely George couldn't have put his stamp of approval on this outrage.

He put his stamp on Episode I didnt he? *shiver*

I might give it until January for the DE love. Though right now, I'm seriously thinking about cashing in the tons of CH xp I got and grinding through about half the tree in one fail swoop right before the nerf.

I know, they're going to make Protocol Droids act as bombs -- same idea as their proposed explosive MSE

Never have I come across a Protocol in the wild, much less one with a weapon. Givent their "Plan", and their habit of not telling anyone anything, I've got a bad feeling now.

I agree completely.

But hey, you know how R2's and 3P0 blew all those storm troopers away so that Luke and co could get on board the Millenium Falcon on the death star....

Heh,I distinctly remember C3PO yelling to Han: "Hurry up you non-accelerating carbon based unit, you're about to become a permanent resident!"
