I think that this comes down to this issue:Grinding is SO BORING!


I am seriously questioning whether or not I want to to pursue this path. If it means that I have to grind out a ton of driodsthen so be it, but I want to have some sort of compesation. There needs to be a demand for my product. Make the "mouse" droids very useful but with a very limited life span. This will create a demand for our products. Then fix the UXP and the long road ahead of us wouldn't seem that long.


Resource gathering is not really an issue as we can all create extractors that will net us around 2k a day... at least that is how much Ybo I get out of mine. Also we can run multiple crafting sessions at a time so that helps to cut down the total timeit takes to level. I do not think that we should reduce the amount of exp to level but rather make DE a more viable profession at the early levels.


As it stands I plan on becoming a Master DE. However, I think that I will work on something else while the issues get resolved.

I agree, give us two droid choices at least. or up the dxp for the mouse bots. I also expect to be able to make some kind of attack droids before I master. Cute droids are cool, but attack droids that are significantly valuable to marksman and bounty hunters kick ass!

I agree. Droid Engineering needs major attention by the development team.

I like the Way the XP is for DEs it should not be change it should be made HARDER so that when you do see a DE you know he has worked hard at it



i do think the DEs need help



You can't buy a droid on bazaar because they are listed WRONG and not easy to find


UXP would be helpful


More types of Droids


More uses for Droids

I agree with the person who said the exp is fine. BUT i really want to make good easy money doing this. weapon and armor engi's get great money to power their harvesters and such but i dont know whatpeople would really want with low level droids. please please please get some more use in them.

Rik,


I don't agree that we should not change anything, but yeah the EXP is right if you just wanted to PL yourself into history. Things should changebecause it only took you 10 mintues to make 10 droids and only got 4k of xp. That means you need 100 droids to get 40k and at that point you have pritty much given a droid to every Medic on the server.


Here is what they should do:


1) Make droids take more resources to create.


2) Make droids take longer to come out of the crafting tool.


3) Make it so you fail more often.


4) Give everyone more exp per droid.


The reason why I say this is because of economics not XP related. If there were only10 DEs per server and everyone had to make 100 droids to make DE2 then you just got 1000 droids in the Bazar. I would rather see it take only 10 droids to make it to DE2, but each droid take at least 4 hours to create including gathering resources and time it takes for the droid to bake. In that case the 5 DEs on the server would have only made 50 droids making droids rare and when people want special orders you can charge a premium. Not only that it would take months for the server to be flooded with droids.


Regards,


Tzsu Umali

I got master artisan and novice DE in three days....I thought once I grind out all these mine powerups I can finally build something useful and advance normally. We need more droid types from the start (especially droids that could help the combat classes) and Xp MUST BE REDUCED!!! I gave up on DE cause I realized its impossible to advance! HELP USSSSS!
