Ive been thinking. there's a lot of flaws with our new combat droids. but they arent horrendous, and if they are healed they do handle pretty well. We just need to get people to know that.There's also been a lot of people saying the droid repair kits arent selling.


I suggest with every droid you sell, that you give a free repair kit. This will let players 1)know they exist and 2)that their droid is a lot more effective if they use them. Thus creating more business for the kits, and possibly for the droids if other people see them surviving in combat.

Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

The only ones I can sell are the R3's with combat modules. I have 10 probots, adozenDZ70's (for the people that can only afford something less than 10K), tons of LE's and a couple R2 units. I sold out of theR3's I had made and not one of the others sold. What's the point with variety if no one wants to buy them ?

Ive already been doing this for along time, previously with batteries. Of the very few people who bought custom orders from recently, ive given them stimpack Bs aswell. Hasent really done anything to change things.

I gots an idea also.....

Some of us Master DE's should get together and make a few "promotional droids".

Have an exibition, kinda like a droid circus.


Put on a show and let the people see just what a droid can do......




The people have to want the droids we are making...but the people don't understand them or just think they are totally nerfed al together and don't want them. We as droid engineers have to sell them, put them on display and show them what they can do.


If people start to realize that droids aren't so bad, they will buy them.... I hope anyway...



thanks.
