Droid Engineer Archive

It seems the developers wernt happy with only partialy crippling us with the latest patch. They have now decided to render us 100& useless ... no one can call a droid anywhere on anyplanet.

Read this post, and post your anger ... I'm sick of this as much as you are. It's time the DE's said what they think of the developers.

You can call older droids, it seems, but not any that I made this morning. I suspect that any droid made after Oct 10 has this problem, because these were the droids that had color 'stick' yesterday. In fact, right before the Hot Fix this morning, I was coloring droids, and calling them. It was great! Right after the Hot Fix, I couldn't call any new droid.

This will really mess us up this weekend, unless we get a developer to work on this problem -- today!

Yeah snowdog, yesterday was the best time I've ever had as a DE. I made tons of R2 units and sold ALL of them.. colouring each one to exactly what the customer wanted. I was given more tips and "thanked" more times than I can possibly image.. had female chars /kiss and /hug me enough for 3 lifetimes, and generaly had a really fun time.

Try and get on after today's note-less-patch and low and hold... a worse situation than 3 days ago.

This might just be happening on certain servers. I just made a new surgical droid, to replace the older model I've had in my d-pad, I was able to craft it without any "internal server" errors and also am able to call it (tried several times to be sure) without any problems also.

Maybe it's only certain models as well...most people seem to be having the problems come up with the R-series units. I'll go make one and see.

Yuppers...that was it....R- series droids cannot be made. Not even just the frames.

I did have success making and calling a Protocol droid and a Surgical.

Im very worried about those on the lower end of the tree of DE. I'm on the Bria server, was going to make an MSE with a crafting module...4 times internal server error... I did a search for a Novice DE , found one and asked if he could confirm this bug for me (hopeing that by some chance it could just be me). Yeah , same thing happened to him...no MSE...So any Novice DE lacking Blueprints II will be suffering...time and time again the one thing we always reccomend for the novice to grindis the MSE, and now the poor lads and lasses out there trying to make it to the top will have togrind something else,or wait until this horrible situation is rectified...my heart goes out to them...

/emote bows head.

Exactly why this is such a critical issue. I am a Novice DE with only Blueprints 1. I haven't even crafted anything since the "patch" except the customization tool only to find out the color won't stick on my old R5 or MSE. And I can't make new ones to get them colored. I've been forced to spending my time actually working on my Pikeman skills. Oh, isn't that a treat... a critter conning blue takes 9 swings to kill, the first 8 are misses! Misses with a huge stick? C'mon.

Anyways, droids had better be getting looked at. I'm far more interested in building them than running around the countryside of (insert planet) killing stuff.

How did you do that? When I color droids, it disappears after it is stored.

Droids made yesterday, (Oct 10), and this morning before the Hot Fix will hold their colors. This includes those that I tried this morning, the R4, the R3, and the Mouse Droid.

After this morning's Hot Fix, none of these droids can be called out of the datapad, and new ones can't be built.
