If someone has alot of money they should be able to create an army of droids. COMBAT DROIDS, droids that instill fear in their enemy, NOT a CL10 Joke that a master at any combat prof can kill in 1 or 2 hits.
STAR WARS history has tons of episodes where the rich create armies of droids and threaten to take over planets. SOE is so worried about balance that it ruins starwars aspects of the game. Make the droids higher than CL 10 and permadeath, or maybe after they are blown up you have to take them to a DE to be repaired. Make it so people can call more than ONE droid at a time so droids like LE Repair droid and Powerdroids aren't usless and someone can have an actual mini ARMY of droids. Or would this be too much like a droid invasion, or too STARWARS for SOE?
I get soangrythat i even have to write a post on how mad i am at this last patch. SOE, do you're dev's even play this game? Im 100% serious. This last patch was such a joke as far as the droid aspect of it.
If you want a real droid invasation make some REAL droids that are tough. Make them customizable so DE's can put different types of weapons on them and 'play' and have fun. Make them perma death to bring DE's business. Make it so EVERYONE can get good (im talking CL20 or more) combat droids so people don't complain about them being tough as they can buy some too if they have the money. Make it so you can call more than ONE droid. Or would this be too fun and starwar-like for the game?
Stop being so worried about people that cry nerf, and stick to the design of your game. People are going to congratulate you and whine no matter what you do. The truely happy people don't even post in the forum's usually. But start FIXING BUGS please.
my god, im so sick of invisible players...teleporting when i get off my bike...my party members going invisible...droids that are literally useless...pistoleer styles that don't work...mining installations not showing correct animations. The list goes on and on.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR MONEY? Stop messing up, this game could be phenominal.

I think that the level of combat in the new droids is correct for this period of Star wars. What I think is wrong is the advertising.
As a MDE what i want are droids that are proper utility droids. (translation. navigation, repair, surveying, harvestors there are loads of possibilities) at Least in pub 8 we will have entertainer droids etc. I feel this is the correct way to go.
In EpIV-VI there are not loads of combat droids - infact the only ones that spring to mind are the Bounty hunters like IG-88 and even then he is meant to be an old droid. These films NEVER had droidica etc and it is ridiculouse for people to ask for them (in the same way i think it will be ridiculouse to have millions of jedi)
The devs have given droids what they should of had in the first place - but badly mislead all of the SWG community with the advertising. They should have made droids do what they do in this SW time period

Hmm..
I have read EVERY novel in the Star Wars extended Universe (excepting the clone-wars series) and I have NEVER seen "... tons of episodes where the rich create armies of droids and threaten to take over planets."
Not that I would mind the capability to create and sell droids on that scale... I just have to question the validity of the observation.

The reason why this is a joke is because it is not going to lower the amount of CHs, which are totally ruining the Star Wars feeling in the game. I quit the game in October, but I am posting from a friends account right now. I am just afraid that if I come back, I will go nuts if I see a stupid Graul or Cat that is following somebody or acting as a meatshield. This was NEVER seen in Star Wars. Yes, there were mounts in Star Wars, and most likely house pets, but not Ultimate Meat Shields that are Gods in combat. The Rancor in Jabba's Palace wasn't much of a pet and it even says in the Star Wars databank that only those who are force sensitive could controlRancors.
Anyways, when people think of Star Wars, they think of the droids, not pet meat shields. There should be droids EVERYWHERE and this is why many DEs and many other SWG players are extremely angry. Although I do not play right now, it still seems droids are not much use in combat and it also seems they don't have much other use either. Also, what is up with an R3 droid with combat capabilities? Pretty lame....
CH needs to be removed from the game or it needs to be nerfed so bad that it will serve close to no use in combat. Droids and players need to take over the main tanking ability.

I agree that the EU (between EP IV and VI) doesn't talk about droid invasions, such as seen in Phantom Menace. But one would assume they are there in some form or another. Anyway, for the game's sake, I support the idea of being able to control more than one droid at a time. Not being able to doesn't make much sense. Require the use of special droid control devices, or even require the use of a "master command droid," anything that will allow us to control more than one droid at a time. I suppose for server and frame rate reasons, we can't have everyone running around with 50 droids in the same area, but being able to call 2-4 droids simultaneously seems reasonable. Perhaps to save frame rates, players could only call multiple droids away from city centers.
Also, I like the idea of allowing players to have more powerful droids which decay. Not only would this help players like myself who adventure in the wilderness from time to time (I'm a crafter) defend himself, but it would help DEs financially. My 2 cents
