Droid Engineer Archive

I noticed that as well. There certainly ARE a few 'regulars', true Droid Engineers who have my respect and admiration, who also support Droid Handling. However, it seems that once the dam broke, a lot of new faces popped out of the woodwork supporting the idea. I'm quite certain that many of these are simply folks who want better combat droids, aren't offended the way many Droid Engineers are by the idea of the DH profession, and come here to express that. The real question certainly falls down to how strongly each person's opinion is considered.

I don't wish to be elitist about this, and the player base as a whole probably should have some say... But we, the few, have been putting up with a badly broken profession for a LONG time, and we're the folks with staying power who really, really love our droids, and I'd like to know our voice is being heard.

I observed this as well.

But it doesn't matter now, their minds are made up.

The unfortunate part is DH is coming no matter what we say, They never have listened and never will.

The DE community has seen a large increase in posters of late - i did a little research into these posters and found that some of the more vocal posters who are also promoting the DH idea are infact reformed CHer's.

Ihave a bad feeling that people are jumping onto the DH bandwagon with the hope of creating yet another "uber" profession like the CH when if first came out.

I was a DE as my first elite proffesion. Then became a Master Creature Handler for awhile (which was really fun), now i'm back to DE and almost to MDE.

I am against Droid Handlers.

Despite the fact that I am against DH, I'd just like to comment on your post.

Ex-MCH may be supporting DH because they are used to that style of play (Lots of pets) or because they always wished thier animal pets were droid but never had the option of the same type of chracter just droid based.

Ive not hidden the fact i am a CH. Ive not hidden the fact that i am in favor of DH. I have not hidden the fact that it is my belief once you offer Combat Skills to crafters based on the argument if we make a weapon we should be able to use it, then you open the floodgates for every weapon crafting profession to expect the same (fairness and balance). Armorsmiths make utility items and can wear it as well. So do tailors. Weaponsmiths do not use flamethrower without going Commando and BE's do not use pets without going CH. If they cert Droids will Pets get Certed next. Then Flamethrower. Pick a weapon.

Things i see stated that i agree with and do understand
Everyone should have bots (as long as these bots are Utility or gained in DH profession i agree).
DE's current bots need fixed.
DE's need more utility Droid modules. (we want the same for pets so we atleast understand it).

Thing i see stated that i disagree with:
DH=CH in a different cover. This argument would be the same as pistol v carbineer. So lets make one mold or Cert everyone (using DE thinking here).
Apparently DE's believe Droids will tank and do connect damage to compare them to pets.
Brawlers are just different TKA, Pikeman and swordsman, BH and commando. If you are going to be true reductionist atleast reduce them all. Artisan=DE both build just different structures.
CH's just deficate out free pets with no effort or use of resources to maintain and take care of them.
CH's pets are the most uber in the game and no CH ever buys from a BE.

Loathe CH's on your time. I came here to find out more info on DH and possibly DE. Mission grinding gets as old as button pushing. The game has no content and profession changing is the only mildy interesting thing left in the game. Ive yet to see any truth to one SWG planet is equal to one EQ server prior to the POK expansion. I have every right to defend something as you have every right to not want it. But noone has as of yet convinced me that this will not affect CH. A profession i will keep even if i dabble DE/DH.

I want someone to tell me how this will not allow BE to use the same argument "we make it we should use it" to become effectively CH. Then when you cannot do that tell me how Droid Certs will not magically convert pets to Pet Certs. And when you cannot do that, maybe just maybe you will see that a DH profession with all combat skills as a prerequisite is the only thing to save your profession if i want to fight with droids and want to keep CH as well. Otherwise i become a BE/DE because CH/DH are non-existant.

connect damage=kinetic damage **edit** edit key

well i for my self have been playing CH myslef, but now im mainly playing DE and dont care much bout CH.

just beacause i dont say nonono to everything doesnt mean i want CH DH to be the same.

i supported DEs getting the combat abilitys aswell as i now support DH. i prefer getting on with changes anyway i would like to be a DE who controlls his Droids but as the community doesnt want that i support the idea of the split of this profession to get the changes in the best possible solution that hasent been ranted down until now.

and i can see that there are many posters that cryed no we dont want combat abilitys in DE that are now crying no combatablilitys should be in the DE tree and no DH...

i support the advance and make ideas or critism to get the best solution out of the current plan and not just like90% of the posters that just say no.
