Thread: In-Game Sales Boycott Is this our last / best option to affect change?????
Not to rain on your parade or anything but this has been tried before (as in people have suggested a DE strike, not as in it ever actually happened)
In fact, back in August it was sort of a 'Someone's proposing a strike. It must be Tuesday' sort of thing.
Uh, how exactly is our situation improving, not only have they nerfed armor, but now they are trying to cap resists at 20% - at this rate combat droids will be so laughable people will hunt them for a laugh insted of durni. At this point i want my old tanking Probots back, and i'm sorry i ever asked Sony to "FIX" our proffesion. But thanks for the input

I've tried Probots, R3's, R2's, LE's, DZ70's, heck I've even played around with a dang protocol droid equipped with combat modules. (yeah, the last one is really silly) My point here is that overall usefullness of droids has barely changed - and cetainly not enough to call this a "Droid Invasion". There are realatively few people who find the new combat droids useful. Most low level combat chars lack the funds necessary to own a droid. All high level combat chars do not need them to take out whatever they are hunting. The few in between chars out there with a moderate need for these droids are honestly better served with a CL10 mount or pet. They are cheaper, have better HAM, and can be buffed. My buffed CL10 Bantha has whipped 3 - 4 droids at once. One of the few things a Droid had over pets and mounts was it's armor. Once that was nerfed at least it had better resists. Now with dropping resist to 20% droids have little to no benefit over pets. Not to mention if Droids can't have armor - why do we need armor segments to make droid armor - that come to find out isn't even really armor?????????
But I digress, what this thread is really here for is ideas we can use to force SOE into fixing our predicament. If no one likes the idea of sales boycotts, that is fine - but can we get some thought as to how we can make SOE listen to us and FIX our BROKEN proffession???? Please guys, even though DE is busted to all get out - I really want to remain a DE, it would just be encouraging to think there was some hope SOE cared about us.

How did you manage this? I'm pretty sure Protocol Droids can't be equipped with combat modules.

Okay, i see your point on the negative actions of a strike may or may not get positive response - BUT do you have any better ideas????? As for BH's having problems finding seekers, aww poor them - while i have never played a BH myself, many friends and guildmates have and if that is the worst problem their proffesion has then TFB!!! BH's already get obscene cash for BH missions not to mention combat skills that make them incredibly fierce in PvE or PvP.
Now, I do not wish to needlessly cause strife for other players or the developers but constant complaining, wishing, brainstorming and ranting on the boards are getting us nowhere slowly and painfully. We as a COMMUNITY NEED to find a way to FORCE the DEV's to FIX OUR PROBLEMS. The biggest key to this problem is thinking and acting as a COMMUNITY!
As for the protocol droid question - yes you can fit 2 combat modules in the protocol droid - NOT CLUSTERS just individual modules. But is can be done for hillarious results.
