Thread: DE's I need two things from you please
1. I need to know if you agree or disagree with Sintrosi's Plan? Yes, he thumb on the pulse of the community.
2. I need to know if you agree or disagree with the rough DE plan in general? No, a drastic increase in the number of kinds of droids and functionality is needed, not only combat. Droids in Star Wars are built to augment their owners skills. Medical Droids should be able to be used by non-medics to heal you. Repair droids should be able to repair things for you even if you dont know what a wrench looks like. That is their purpose in the flims and books, stick to that. You don't have to make them great at it, just functional.
A repair droid should repair for you, a medical droid should heal for you...
I've seen several posts claiming that the only thing that can fix the problems is a useful combat droid. While I'd like to see them, I just don't think that's true. Adding one won't cure all our ills and, while I know I'm going to take flak for this, the lack of one won't end the profession for all time (though it would certainly curtail it significantly).
There's more to droids than just combat. That being said, I still want to see craftable battle-droids (or some equivalent) and destroyer droids ![]()
I agree with Sintrosi's plan.
I agree with most of the DE plan. I think there are a few things that need to be fleshed out and proposed again.
My biggest wish that hasn't already been made by others is to find a use for my beloved BLL. Maybe its use could be helping redeed houses and harvesters at reduced maintenance costs. Or be a large storage droid or it could pick up resources from harvesters and return them to you. Just some thoughts.
Another idea would be a arakyd usable by merchants ie a droid cert in the merchant skill tree. This droid could be loaded with a customers order and could be launched by the merchant and the droid will deliver it.
Ok I got off track, Doh! Good luck Thunderheart!

TH,
This is useless. All you need to do is read our forum a bit...you'll get all the answers you need.
I'm done posting anything about this.
Don't come ask for information...you have ALL that you need already (in spades), if you'd actually care to look. You'll want to note that your post here is basically the same as the previous Dev reply that we got (asking for more information that was ALL OVER the DE forum).
/bow
Respectfully,
You need to take a hike you "un respective" person. Just answer his questions sit down and shut up. It's people like you that make his job harder.
His job right now is to HELP DE's .... your job? being an arse ... take your piety and take your comments and go play DOAC ... or FFXI ... just go away ...
He asked if you if you agree with A ... and if you agree withB ... and if you want any changes to B.
Now is your time to speak up ... if you don't speak up ... in this thread ... right now ... so he can "count" you in context of this simple poll ... then don't complain about your voice not being heard ...
You must me into S&M or something ... cause you really are making it hard for TH to help you guys.
They don't have a freaking clue what they are going to do with DEs.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE ASKED FOR MORE INFO
get a new lie to keep the ignorant masses delayed, some of us aren't falling for this "gathering information BS anymore.
Just another lie from Sony
(Yes, I'm pissed)
we were led all day to believe a big post of info is coming, now we get this crap.
Hero_DarkJedi...by reading your sig you have no right to make a comment about any DE that posts on this thread considering YOU ARE NOT ONE OF US. Try sitting in the shoes of the people youflame before you make your comments.
kk?byebye/thx

Droid-Creator,
Yup. You heard right. We've been 'stalled' again.
It wouldn't have been all that hard to get every piece of needed info from about 2 or 3 threads in our forum.
This smacks of a delay tactic, personally.
Sorry, TH...I call it like I see it.
/bow
Respectfully,
Hey ... you promised not to post anymore ...
You have not worked with TH in his new capacity ... as a CH I have.
This is how it works now ... if you don't like it ... go Play DOAC ... he will count the responses ... ignore yours ... then do percentages on how many folks did or did not like things.
It will be like 70% like A, 25% didn't, 80% didn't like B ...
That is what he is doing ... just cause your a child and can't see what is going on doesn't mean there is not a method to the madness.
Then again ... your posts will fall into the "5% ignored" column ... boy it sucks to be you :-)
1) Sintrosi hit the nail on the headand all of us agree with him.
2) The plan from the developers is a joke, just more of the same and to little to realy make a diffrence. With no time table they could do this stuff a year from now. There is noquestion they could give us droidekas if they realy want to. This is the only droid we do not have that you see in the game with full animations. It seems obvious to me that they indended for us to have access to this droid and changed their mind for some reason. The changes proposed in their plan will have little true value to us. Please just give us some droids we can actualy sell and fix all the bugs that have been in the game since beta.
