Hey all you Droid Engineers out there. This is Lopao, a master Droid Engineer on Wanderhome.

Today I knew Publish 7 was coming out, and I was excited all day, all through school, and all through my time at work.When Igot home, I logged on, and I just couldn't bring myself to do any crafting. I was excited about it and all, even with the upsets that I read about on the board, but I never knew how depressing it could be to have these ideas of a "droid invasion" in my mind (new droid models, new droid functionalities, droids being a PART of the game) and then not being able to make any of it.

I told my guild how disappointed I was, and that I got bored even thinking about it (trying to get myself excited, trying out experimentation on some Probots maybe). And it gave me the idea of starting a thread with -- not complaints-- just some sort of collection of the mood of Droid Engineers with theadvent of this new Publish. So if you have the time and will to voice your disappointment with the new Publish, just say something in this thread that will convey that, and maybe, just maybe, something will happen (but I wont get excited or put any money on it actually happening).

Thanks all you DE guys and gals, 'cause I really want to be excited about making droids again.

Lopao.

I spent all of the last 2 weeks thinking this would bring something different to the game. Boy was I wrong. I power grinded through DE just so I could make combat class droids. All you get are the same old droids with combat modules. Wohoo.

Probots were better in the first 2 weeks of release than they are now. I made an advancedprobot that I thought was pretty cool. All of the combat modules were 75% and it had 2 uber level 6 armor modules. Its stats were .86 speed, 126/138 dmg, 950ish ham, and .39 to hit. Needless to say one of my guildmates hit it with a T21 2 times and it died. So I thought no big deal, I will use some of my cool repair kits to heal it. Then the repair kits took from my mind pool? Thats just odd. It doesnt cost mind to change a droids color, or repair a weapon. Why should it take mind to heal a droid using a tool?

Oh well, I am sure the newbs will get benefit from them when they are out bunny bashing, because no advanced player is going to use them to enhance their gameplay. The thing that stinks about that last statement is gameeconomics, no newb is going to be able to pay what it will take to make a high quality combat droid. It took me about 45 minutes or longer to make 1 advanced probot and I had all of the uber materials in stock.

I am thoroughly not-impressed with this release and pub 8 looks even worse.

Did you not read what the devs said about the droid invasion? It will be phased in the game in 2 publishes. this was the first and was only to add combat moduals and the ability to heal droids. Next patch has the combat droids so relax.

Where did you read this? and if you can, can you give me a link, so I can get excited about DE again.

Thanks.

Pub8 notes have absolutely no mention of new droid frames and chassis.

Currently there are no plans (and not even hints, so we can be pretty sure there are currently no plans) to add new Chassis or combat abilities.

DE's are to get CL10 pets and some new Utility modules. I guess it's just really depressing that they added so much in the new item department, Repair kits, etc, and there's nothing worthwhile to use them on.

I know the feeling I actually used to use my probot but now that it went from medium armor to no armor it can't do anything on even a lvl 10 mob. My lvl 10 pets are aropund 4 times better than it in stats now. Before it's medium armor mad eit durable but now it's a liability.
