Droid Engineer Archive

I have read throu about 60 posts so far on this forum, and out of those that I have read, I have read maby 2 that have had productive information about our profession. The rest were filled with hopeless gameplayers who have about lost all hope and are in complete dismay over the current condition of our profession. If this doesn't say something about the playability of DE then what do we have to do to get you to listen to us? I myself am about to quit this game and go back to Anarcy Online, and I know others that feel the same as me.

One of the productive posts, taught us how to actually sell some mse droids with data mods, how we could market them to the people for doing missions, that they could store missions for the customer so they didn't have to come back to the city every 15 minutes for 2 more missions. When I read this post I actually felt for a moment that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, I logged on that night and actually sold a couple droids that had some use that night.

But then we all know what happened the next day don't we?!? No point in going into that again here.

I challenge you developers!! I challenge you to reply to this post and give us 1 good reason why you had to nerf missions being stored on a data pad so quickly, when other bugs have festered and ate away at our enjoyment of this game for weeks and weeks! I offer up anouther challenge to you as well! I challenge you to read every one of these posts on this forum and try to tell me that we are enjoying your game! READ this crap! Absoulty no one is happy!

When I saw Return of the Jedi, I saw a Rancor locked up in a dungeon because it was so wild and dangerous that no one could get near it, yet I see NOVICE creature handelers running around with rancors every day, i've see at leat 10 of them. There is no reasonable way in the world a novice could control a rancor. I"m not telling you to nerf them, i'm happy that they are enjoying the game, but lets get real here, how did droids being able to carry8 missions for us really hurt the game?

I want you to know that i feel a sense of complete defeat after reading so many posts on this forum, I can feel the pain of every gamer on this board crying out for just a small token of attention! Just give us a sign that your listening to us! Fix one stupid bug! Give us something to go on.

Are there any developers out there that have the balls to reply to this post????? Who are you?

Good post......except I'd never go back to Anarchy Online, the mission treadmill was just oo soul destroying and time consuming

Great post, too bad it won't ever get read by someone that can make a difference.

Any kind of response or update on the DE issues would at least give me the impression that something is being done. Come on SOE, throw us some kind of bone.

I read in other profession forums and i quote "at least our profession is not as buggy ad the DE profession". If people that play SWG and are not DE recognize the issues with this profession I dont see how the Devs can not see the issues.

I planned on sticking out the bugs that were going to be in this game. I am changing my mind because I am not seeing bugs. I am seeing real reasons why there should not have been a droidn engineer profession because it is so broken.

And SOE, dont expect me to start another profession and put up with the same broken state of the game. There is a difference between bugs and things just plain not working.

I'm sorry, the time for "Bone Throwing" is past, there are MAJOR issues with this profession and I've seen exactly ONE post by a moderator on this forum and that was to announce that they were "looking into the DE problems". That was a bone. I ate it up. But it was two weeks ago now. What's happened in the mean time? The "fixed" the data droids. Fixed them. Yeah they sure are fixed. The only thing they "fixed" is thiereusefulness. They said that being able to store missions in the data droid was a bug, well as long as they were looking at the data module, you would think they would also look into the issue of it destroying the things it was holding if you stored it.

I don't want anymore "Bones" thrown my way, I want a freakin' steak! I want something the DE's can really sink thier teeth into.

One thing I will not tolerate as a consumer is poor customer support. I love SWG but I am beginning to get a bit upset at the lack of information given to us as paying customers.

I consider myself a patient man, but my patience will only go so far. Please provide us with an update on the status of Droid Engineers. I would settle for even a, "We understand the problems you are facing and have allocated resources in order to get these issues resolved as quickly as we can" type of response.

What "gets under my skin" is seeing all these requests being made by your paying customers being ignored. Improve your customer relation efforts before many of us are forced to leave a game that we love due to principle.

Poor customer support seems to be common place in most mmrpgs... why is that? I don't know. I never have liked it and have left three games because of it. The sad part is, all it would have taken is some sort of official response to the questions being asked for me to stay. The "no response" becauseyou "don't have an answer" yet is not a good solution... It leaves your customers in the dark wondering. And that is an uncomfortable place for us to be. Are we wasting time grinding up our DEs? God I hope not.

I hate being treated like a "pain in the ass" by someone who I have hired to provide me a service.

First let me say I am not a DE, but it seems to me more realistic to me that the droids store missions (data), as opposed to 2k steel or my cdef rifle. I didn't find out about puting missions into the droids until that was taken away, so i haven't felt the difference. I really feel for you DEs how ever and totally agree with the need for them to do more then acknowledge a problem, they need to show they are working on it. I am sure since this is thefirst month they have many things to work on, but this needs to be pretty high on the list.

I would like some kind of response to see what direction they are going to take with DE.

Heck, I would take any response just to know they are reading this forum.
