I am a master DE, and on another server I am a budding master commando, this has happened to my commando. Numerous times now, as I am traveling, or worse, deep in a battle where I count on my probots to tank, my probots are storing themselves. I notice this happens mostly when they are unde 20% health, but it has happened when they are not taking damage but just running along with me but at low health. All of the sudden my probot is just gone. And I get "group has been disbanded" message. Needless to say, when your tank just up and disappears like a fart in the wind, its not a good feeling. Especially when it was keeping 3 critters busy for you.


Not to be confused with the bug where droids just stop following for some reason at imaginary zone walls. I have yet to die to this bug, but I have only noticed it since last patch. If anyone else has noticed this, please post it. Would hate to think its just me

Noticed this several weeks ago if the droid got stuck in some complex build areas. Seems to have gone away for me.

Yeah.


What's most annoying is that it generally happens where i cannot conveniently call them back.


I can pretty much force a droid to autostore by spamming it with /tellpet follow often enough. That's a shame, and I discovered it when I was frustrated with a droid that just REFUSED to come when called past a certain spot. Usually one or two follow commands will do it, but if they don't, set a patrol point or something instead.




Taking a well-deserved vacation from his successful Droid Engineering business, Master Rho can be found puttering around the galaxy.
