Thread: Anyone else having this problem with their pre-nerf?
My medium 40% armored pre-nerf has been bleeding armor since the last patch. Currently hes down to light 11.5%. Anyone else seen this happen? And should i open a /bug or CSR ticket since i paid 250k for him.
oh man, that's nasty. Check his vitality to see what level it's at. If it's 75 or below that may be the answer.
But if it isn't, then yes, submit that /bug matey 
Wow, I'll bet that Probot has seen many battles. If his vitality is super low, might be time to consider a vacation at Club Droid. I hear the oil baths are pretty good there. 
My other account is a Master DE. And actually if you remember they did try to kill a lot of them off. Remember droid death? Its how my wife lost hers after they nerfed them. I like having a droid that has half a chance in combat. I dont feel im cheating or griefing by being an owner of a pre-nerf. If anything i think it just shows that id sooner have a probot them a Peko-Pekochu.
They didnt make it retroactive. It created a market for "pre-nerf" probots. That have gone as high as 1 millio credits. Because of the battery bug mine usally gets used to help me get higher missions then for actualy combat anymore.
I don't think he was asking for pity, just an answer. I really wish I had a pre-nerf. Could have bought one right after the nerf for 100K, but I was a struggling Novice DE then and had about 12K to my name.
Not nerfing the existing items is a good idea. Itadds a little variety andsome suprise into the game. Plus it adds collectibility to the game. Everything eventually decays or gets beat up so bad, they become useless anyway if they are used a lot. With all the pre-nerf Krayt weapons out there, those are sure to be a big million dollar sellers soon too.
The only reason I can see people complaining about others having these pre-nerf items is due to jealousy plain and simple.
Besides, that "uber" Probot will be obsolete really soon.
oh ya? when they give us our combat droid? riiiiight.
and what would you say to the people who bought a probot when it was 3k HAM, but wouldn't have if it was 820 HAM? would it have been fair to them to nerf theirs?

Have you tried using a vitality pack on him? (You have to use it from the datapad.) I notice that my newer probot loses armor until I use the vitality pack and revitalize him.
It seems that droids can take 3 types of damage: 1) white bar damage; 2) wounds, which show up as black bar damage; 3) vitality, which can be read from the datapad.
I'll check his vitality when i get in game. But hes only ever been incapped maybe 3 times. I found out the way to use a probot post/pre nerf was a fire support guy. 3k HAM or not.I like him more for his 150-170 damage. So i send my pets in let them get engaged, engage my probot then open fire with my rifle. Usually the Probot isnt targeted unless i get incapped. So its rare i have to worry about his vitality. But i'll go check.
