Thread: FYI: Probot nerf
I wrote Lucasarts
I havn't gotten a response yet. I do know this, G. Lucas himself is a very detailed person, I am sure he is looking over his fans reviews of SOE preformance.Iwould say all should write LucasArts and tell them what you think of there game at present and how bad SOE is damaging it!
if your goign to lower it why not by 1/2 that sound much more fair. since the reisit are gone at least have armor mods affect ham. other wise just scrap the whole professioon
I reached lvl 1 blue prints and made a DZ-70.. was suprized to see it had an attack option. So I tried it, somthing simple first, a small pack of kreetles not far away. THE FIRST KREETLE KILLED THE DROID IN UNDER A SECOND!!!!! The only think it can solo is 1 baby Nuna and then it needs to heel because it's nearly dead.
I bought a Probot because I got tired of all the con reds knocking me down when I tried to tend harevstors. This pile of JUNK needs help against Evil settlers!!! I can solo 5 of them.
So what d I use it for? FODDER. When somthing jumps me, it tries to attack drawing 1-3 attackers. That sometimes gives me enough time to hit burst and get some distance.
Another brain dead stupid thing they did was this "deed" system. LIke everything in the game, when they run into a snag, insted of fixing it, the scrap it, nurf somthing into worthlessness trying to hide the problem, or just plane butcher it even more. During beta we had 3d models for all the droids like teh seeker still has. And they where treated as objects like they should be and like the seeker still is. You could examine them and get info, there was no 'taming' crap, YOU DON'T TAME DROIDS! YOU PROGRAM THEM!! And you could see what they looked like in your scematic list and on the vender/bazaar.
Kick this this EQ group at and get some devs in who know and understand Starwars and SciFi in general. This is SCIFI fantisy, NOT midevil or what ever EQ is. In Starwars you didn'tsee everyone runing around with building sized pet animals following them, They had DROIDS. And the droids could go off to perform their task. They didn't have to stay within 100m of their owners all the time.
It's funny seeing this stuff dragged back into the light... Here's an idea....
Hey Thunderheart! Why don't you ask us what we want again? ![]()
Ummmm...funny how it all seems little has changed since then except that CHs are feeling a teeny-weeny (appropriate wording for CHs) bit of our pain.
I was just a novice Droid Engineer, but it still brings back memories

This necro-post is referring to the great probot nerf of '03, when they were taken down from being 3000+ HAM monsters to the current HAM levels we know and ... well, we know.
