  • Bugs:
    • Level 5 and 6 armor modules require composite armor segments, which no longer exist

    • Droids are not gaining any benefit from having armor

    • Auto-Repair modules are not working

    • Medical modules are not working

    • Detonation modules are not doing damage (the droid is still lost however)

    • Droids when called in some structures are temporarily losing private crafting ability and storage (still need more info to track this down, as well as any more info on what modules don't work).

    • Droid AI:
      • Droids are having trouble following (constantly getting stuck on objects, and the actual follow command stops functioning at certain times, possibly whenever the "droid options" menu is accessed)

      • Droids are not always attacking when told to. Sometimes they go into attack posture and just sit there

    • Droid Repair kits are not able to be used to repair droids

    • Bacta Spray is healing droids as if they were players/creature pets

    • Droids are taking away from player XP when they do damage in combat (possibly trying to give the owner CH xp?)

  • Issues:
    • Difference between a fully loaded combat probot and fully loaded utility probot is not that much

    • Stimpack modules are only accepting stimpack A's, but most combat oriented players can use much stronger stimpacks themselves.

    • Droid HAM is lower than it used to be, which is now lower than most mid ranged combat players (without buffs). This combined with the fact that they are stuck at CL 18 (and don't take the group's level) and are missing armor means that they are not as useful for anyone above the basic combat levels.

    • Since droids do not increase the level of the group, and take a round or two to respond even under the guard command, they are of little use as a bodyguard since the non-combat player in question is usually down after the first shot.

    • With the increased droid regen rate, auto-repair module effectiveness needs to be raised accordingly so as to still provide substation benefits


  • Please post any more bugs or any more details of bugs already listed.

    I had a guildie tell me last night, the way to make the bomb droids work is by grouping with the droid, then the droid will do damage.


    So it would appear to be a transfer of the TEF problem. I know there is no longer a TEF to speak of, but it is more of an undercover TEF, why one cannot run into a structure while fighting or the BH fighting a jedi.

    Yeah, but he's talking about bugs brought on by the CU.

    Good compilation, Jenden!

    hehe, I'm not. And yes, verification on the detonation droid workaround would be excellent.

    when a droid is in a fight, i used to be able to issue the follow command and the droid will stop attacking... however, now, the droid appears to move towards me, but will continue to fight the target.

    To be fair, I believe this bug was fixed but has now come back via the CU. Kinda like the rubberbanding


    Keep up the good fight Jenden.

    I've never had any problems using repair kits on droids. The only time I think it doesn't work is when the droid is incapacitated. You'll have to use the radial menu to bring the droid out of incap state before applying the stim.

    I suppose it's working as intended as you also cannot heal a player out of an incapacitated state.

    The mob is still in range of the droid. Even though it may look that the mob is far far away, it's actually chasing the droid. When mobs are in the middle of their attack animation, they stay in place, whereas on the server side, they may be moving towards you. A good example are krayts.

    Combat droids take xp away when they are grouped and do damage. I've tried it while not grouped and I do get more xp.

    Is there anyway we can get facts here?

    Im told Bomb droids dont work, apprently they might?

    Im told stimpack modules dont work, apprently they might?

    Im told harvest modules dont work, apprently they might?

    Im told combat droids work/dont work, apprently the might/might not?

    You have some things reported as bugs, and have been for a while now but then some people say they arent.

    Are the things posted at the top here fact?

    All of the bugs/issues listed above are things that have been compiled from the various bug reports and issues brought up. The best way to get fact from a lot of this is to try them yourself (and then share the information with everyone else). Each person can only report their own experiences, and a combination of lack of time and some droids requiring different skills limits each persons experiences.

    kk

    Many i just didnt try because i saw them in the bug report.

    Maybe we should have them confirmed before they actually get on the list, or labeled unconfirmed.
