Thread: Droid Poll: Your top five issues (only 5, folks....really, really).
Again?!?
You have got to be kidding me, after all these months, all the lists of bugs and you have to ask us again.
It's no wonder I never come to this forum anymore.
TK, just tell them everything is fine and to leave us alone, before they do more damage.

Actually the community of DE and his perception of the bugs changes more than the bugs themselves.
BTW, there is one more issue I have : Balance :
A profession that require thousands of credits and ressources, gazillions steps to build something almost useless isn't balanced.
We're the biggest ressource/money sink in the game and we have nothing counter part.

1. Bug/feature - Droids with 2nd armor slot gain nothing from adding a second armor plate. At least give advanced droids with a second armor plate a "Light" armor rating. It makes sense!
2. Feature - Droid/Vehciles Customization fading. No one likes it, it hardly creates a market. People are more likely to color droids or vehciles because they desire to do so. Forcing people to do it on a regular basis just makes them give up completely on customization - I get told this repeatedly. I'd say at LEAST make it that they don't START fading until 100 pulls, and then fade completely at 120.
3. Feature - Lack of Combat Droid chassis - I don't CARE if mydroidekas or battle droids are at CL10 (or are we really operating at CL13 now, hmmm). People want them for the cool factor, the art is in game, as are animations. Let'sget us a schematic, heck even lootable, and let us build the things with the specs ofa probot or something. All the droid "parts" are already there.
4. Feature/Bug - Droid information is lacking -Buyers and owners need to be able to see the names of ALL the modules installed in a droid, from deed form toactivation in datapad. INCLUDING personality chips, crafting stations, armor plates. Customersneed to be able to make informed decisions.
5. Feature - True droid decay/resale/recycling - Once I sell a droid to someone, they never need to buy another from me for that function. A modular system that erodes parts of a droid so that they need to be replaced - not often, but over a period of decently heavy use - to keep the market moving. Along those lines, "activated" or un-deeded droids should be sellable on a vendor! They still could be of use, or at the very least let us scrap them and get components or resources back.
I could do more most likely, but there's our five, even if some are overly broad.

1) Bug: Storage not working in surgical droids
2) Wishlist: Actual Combat droids (Droidika etc etc)
3) Issue: Power Droids should not need batteries
4) Wishlist: Binary Load Lifter needs some ability to make it more useful & worthwhile, like it can go out and gather resources from your own harvesters within 2000m for you.
5) Wishlist: If & when actual combat droids (like droidika) come out,DONT make a new profession, like creature handler but for droids. Maybe make it so when a droid is initially created, the DEprograms a users name to the deed while still in the crafting process. That way only that one particular person and no one else can use that droid (but maybe allow any DE to use as well). So that way they wont get re-sold, traded etc, and onlyallow 1 of these higher level droids max in anyones Datapad. (Except DE which can hold more), so they wont get out of hand all over the place.
1. Fix Inventory and other Bugs 1st (Armor included)
2. Droid & pets out at same time (more than one droid too.)
3. Beef droids / Nerf CH (No more He-Man battle cats PLEASE)
4. Additional MODs with various functionality (many good ideas out there. Read 'em)
5. New Chassis, Roger-Roger variations, Pit, IG88 types, Terminator!
I need as many of you as possible to get your 5 items on the list now.
If you want stuff to have any possibility of getting worked on, now is the time to speak up and give me your issues.
I don't know what they will or will not decide to do...only that the new Top 5 (top 20) is what they will work off of for the next quarter.

Respectfully,
- Combat droid models into our hands. If all we are going to get are CL13 for now, then PLEASE give us those scrawny "roger roger" droids as a new chassis.
- Fix the naming problems with humanoid droids, and the filter keeping out numbers on the others. Someone suggested that the Devs could simply put in a "Letter-number-letter-number" generator that a player could use to give his droid an appropiate name. That's so simple it's brilliant.
- We need droid stats to show up on the Deed, please.
- Droid and Pet out at the same time, at least for DEs at somelevel.This would reflect that a CH is no better with his critters than I am with my droids.
- Get some of the Modules we have been begging for into this game. These modules will have the droids doing things from the movies, i.e. handling harvesters, doing slices, assisting in mechanical duties instead of things that are not in the movies: Using the Cattle Prod of Doom and the Whirling Rotary Blade of Death or At Least Nasty Abrasions to decimate local fauna.
I know some of the above sounds a tad sarcastic, but I'm just trying to keep it light. On the DE boards is Laugh or Cry time.
Deidre
Feature chang/add: More Chassis!!!! For both utility and combat droids. I can accept that we are only going to have CL 10-13 combat droids for a while but I want NEW CL 10-13 combat droids!
Feature change/add: Droid deeds need to show ALL the information. modules installed and any important properties associated with those modules (damage range, to hit, attack speed, crafting rating, etc
Feature chang/add: Everyone should be able to have two non combat (or very low level combat example R2 unit with one or two combat modules in it) droids out at one time. (probably based on CR which means they have to fix droid CR so that it actually is affected by the modules in the droid.)
1. BUG - Cannot name Conversing droids
2. BUG - Item Storage in Surgical Droid
3. CHANGE/ADD - More droid models for some variety.
4. CHANGE/ADD - Inherent bonuses to certain models...ie BLL can hold a few more items, Surgical gives slightly better healing/med crafting, LE Repair Droids actually repair better, etc.... some point to it all.
