Thread: Badly worded and misleading publish
As a Master DE i have been really disappointed with the Droid invasion. From reading the Test Centre reports I was expecting the worst and we got it. I made a 6 module combat droid - fairly high exp ratings 60-70% and it died with about 4 spineflaps (the little ones). Now to fair it does do things like R2 does in the films, and I personally believe that that should be all the combat that they do.
What is the problem is the way it has been promoted. I had to turn of my MDE logo because of all the tells expecting new models and good combat droids. Basically all this has done is given droids the abilities they should have had anyway - but there not "combat" droids
As far I can see our droids should do "Different" things than combat. They should translate ( have NPC missions where a Protocol droid is needed i.e. Jabbas missions )They should help repair things (we have a repair droid that dosent work), perhaps they could help manage harvesters; the list is endless. I think the new classes in pub 8 are the right direction. Perhaps we can make Nav droids when the Space exp comes in.
They are not really any combat droids in EPIII-IV except bounty hunter stuff.
All that has happened is that we have been made a joke of yet again.
It was a badly worded and badly executed publish that has been misleading.
I think this last publish is a huge joke as far as its theme goes. I mean, you log and and see "DROID INVASION!" with a droid blastingsomeone. With a name like "droid INVASION" you'd think you'd see alot of droids, especially combat ones. All i have seen as far as droids go since the patch was a bunch of angry DE's and tons of people asking about droids they can't make.
Droids are a huge parts of starwars and SOE is doing a good job at messing that part of the game up. But yea, this last publish was poorly advertised and misleading. I feel so bad for anyone keeping DE waiting for it to be fixed only to be let down time and time again.
So SOE,here's my response to the Droid Invasion:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH"
