Droid Engineer Archive

First off, my customers are sending me tells for refunds and/or an explanation. Second, I have not a friggin clue what to tell them.

When, if ever will they be fixed? What does it take to make one that will work and will it work after the next hotfix? Why is SOE giving us the new, wonderful droids and not fixing the stupid things to work?

SOE I would really appreciate it if you put out a notice for players to read when they log in, that you screwed up and not us...and maybe when they will be fixed? This is another example of a PR blunder bigtime. Live and learn, talk to us...talk to the customers who buy our droids PLEASE.

Actually, they work as intended now.

What does it take to make one that will work ... ?

Just make sure you've gota structure maintenance rating on the droid deed before you try to sell it as such. The only thing your customer's have to remember is to remove structures from the list before re-deeding them.

Nice to lay all the blame at their door, but this time we can't do it. The fault was partly ours as a community. We knew a fix was coming, we knew when a fix went to TC. However, I am 95% sure that this fix was not tested on TC before it went Live. I do not blame our normally crack team of TC DE's (when I asked Jenden and TK they were both busy at the time and I accept that completely). They did a fine job testing all the stuff for publishes 7 and 8, and if real life or their primary character were the priority that week then that is perfectly fine. The simple fact is that we just don't have enough DE's on Test Center.

Now if someone with a TC DE comes out and posts that they tested these and /bugged everything that is driving us crazy, yet nothing was done, then I'll gladly blame the devs. Until then, we as a community need to admit that we dropped the ball on this one. I still plan to make a TC DE next week, at least to Novice. We need more people though so any future fixes don't fall through the cracks. It might even be a good idea to start a TC DEA.

I add the following description to every droid with a structure module

NOTE: AS OF THIS WRITING (5/22) THE FOLLOWING BUG IS KNOW TO EXIST WITH STRUCTURE DROIDS. IF YOU REDEED A STRUCTURE, AND YOU DO NOT 1ST REMOVE THE STRUCTURE FROM THE DROIDS STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE LIST, THE STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE MODULE WILL NO LONGER WORK!!!!

YOU MUST 1ST REMOVE A STRUCTURE FROM YOUR DROIDS STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE LIST BEFORE YOU REDEED IT, OR THE STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE MODULE WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION FOREVER!!!!!

Thats exact mesage is in the description of every droid I sell that has a structure maint module. In the past 4 days I have sold 6 or 7, and not one of my customers has told me they did not work. So I guess my warning works.

browsing your folks' board for some various infos... Guess I am glad that I didn't waste more money on one of these yet. Sure be nice if it ultimately could distribute power as well as maintainance.

Good luck!

OK I am not making anymore structure droids. That must be what happened to my customers and my droid. We can no longer add structures to our droids. I consider that a flaw that makes them pretty much something I do not want my name on. Where is the warning from SOE? Shouldn't hat have been noted at login?
