Droid Engineer Archive

In a recent developer post I read that creatures and droids, at this time in the game are meant for roleplaying purposes. I am sorry but I laughed at this if they arefor roleplaying purposes why permadeath why the uselessness of most droid models? If at this moment they are for roleplaying purposes, why not in the next "BIG" patch have the ability to talk through your droid; like another chat channel, a "droid chat tab" perhaps in where you will have the ability to talkas your droid, this would be very usefull for roleplaying seeing as roleplaying is limited to having to respond to W00T's and 3L337's. Im sorry if my tone of writing sound like whining...... but my frame of reference is clouded with anger and confusion; I just lost my 3PO Model Droid too a Wrix..... sadly.

Please, if you have any constructive ideas for droids and/or issue's with them please post here

P.S. I am sorry if I mispelled Woot or Elite

Shameless bump hehe

I'd like to read that dev post, can you provide the URL?

On the droid/RP subject though - how can players even be expected to RP with droids if the Protocol droid doesnt even translate (which I, and I suspect may others, consider its primary function) and you can only have 1 droid out at a time (so you cant even feign a conversation between you an a R2 unit (for example) using a Protocol droid
