It sure seems we've got the support (or pity) of a lot of non-DE's. Somebody posted this on the Radiant forum, and they're not even a DE.

Let's keep the ranting down. We need a firestorm of support so the devs can see that we want action on this.

Wouldn't we be better off working with the plans they already have in place for patch 8 rather than trying to get them to reverse course again?

/sigh. I know, I know, I'm in the minority on this one.

Kollos, I've quoted the relevant portion of the plan for you, man. See in bold below.

Basic Hybrid DE Premise: This proposal presents a few possible configurations/variants of skill oints, certs and pre-requisites for the use of combat droids by players in SWG. The basic premise of this proposal is to allow players to spend the same amount of skill points as they might in CH to get the same amount of "pet lvls" for combat droid use. The proposed maximum combat droid lvls obtainable range from 25-35 droid lvls. This proposal assumes that the devs will implement 1) bug fixes, 2) utility modules and 3) a variant of this proposal.

Just because you're in the minority doesn't mean you're wrong. I'm still amazed they stopped the droid handler profession so close to the end. Now that the majority of the publish 8 code is done (estimated from past experiences) I highly doubt we'll see any kind of 180 like that again, especially since it would be the second one.

Sodan, as has been explained before, implementing your plan would take time away from further development of droid utility. They only have so much time to spend working on on our profession, so if they spend time converting us to a hybrid profession where is that time going to come from?

It will come at the expense of either bug fixes or droid utility.

So as I said, wouldn't we be better off working with them to flesh out the plan they currently have in place for patch 8 rather than trying to get them to reverse course and make major alterations to it at this late date?

Nothing warms my heart more than two doods standing in the way of what 90% of the community supports. Right on brothers! Go, go, go! We love the status quo!

Someone told me they read that Droid Commander was gonna go live in Publish 8... if that's true we might have to really let the DEV's know what we want.

My own personal opinion: We're really giving SOE too much credit about them doing a 180 on the DH plan. The DH plan was a lazy, uninspired, insipidcopy of the CH profession complete with Droideka skins slapped onto Rancors.

The only thing aboutSOE dropping the DH idea that made megive SOE propswas the fact that Runesabre's announcementwas so "dead on" when it came to how lame the whole DH plan was.
