Shoot Sintrosi, I'd hate to see you real riled up and not 'diplomatic'


I think you got the point across without too much bile.


I hope our next monthly update has some good news and positive points to look forward to.


Otherwise you can just cut and paste this months report every month until something good comes along.....









"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

/em gives Sin a standing ovation!


That about sums it up... the reason I stay with DE is the potential that I see in the profession -when fixed. Hmmm. Come to think of it, "potential" is the reason I stayed with WW2Online so long.


How is that comment on the "State of the Profession"?

I'm impressed. That is exactly how it is for us DE's too. The post was great. Now get them to do something about it and we'll be on a roll. Hehe

Fix DE, will take care of pet problems. Good droids will provide very good alternative to a lot of players for the current over-flow of animals. Most of them I talk to, they 'rather' use a droid, but seriously, do we have anything for them right now that's usable? Color purple aside...

Sintrosi,


A very well thought out and informative post on what is wrong with the Droid Engineer profession and where it should have always been headed. I am in the last few days of my account, I hope when I return (and I will), that the DE profession is much more rounded then it is now.


The Droid Engineerwas the first profession that caught my attention during the development of SWG (C'mon ... when you think Star Wars, you think Droids...not creatures), but during my time as a beta tester and into release, it was clear that in reality the DE was nowhere near what I imagined it could be.


I dreamt of having a protocol droid at my side, interpreting where required. I dreamt of a combat droid helping me out in combat. I dreamt of an R2 droid repairing my vehicle (maybe this will be true....) The creature Handler profession flourished, and to be competitive and advance; I took on this profession (on the way to Bounty Hunter). If the CH profession was removed from the game to make way for the rebirth of the DE profession I would give a mighty /cheer..... Having multiple droids helping players (not Graul Maulers ! ), is a step in the right direction for bringing the Star Wars atmosphere to SWG


Good luck Droid Engineers, you all deserve alot more than what you have been given up to now. Hopefully Sintrosi will help guide DE to where it should be andwhen I come back to SWG, you guys will be alot happier and I will be proud to join your ranks.


/Bow
