I just saw this in the DevTracker Forum,.......

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_testing&message.id=8785#M8785

Can you confirm what TH just said!?!?!? Did they REALLY scrap the idea of a pet and droid out at the same time?? Thats not cool if its true, ONE cl13 droid vs. 2 cl10's,......Id rather have the 2 out at one time than a SLIGHTLY AT BEST, more powerfull droid!!!

Whoah whoah whoah! Droids are now CL13. does that mean only Creature handlers can control combat droids now?

no, they've been CL13 since the patch, seems they aren't under the same restrictions as creatures.

NO, what it means is that anyone can use a single combat droid but no one but a CH can have a pet AND a droid out. The devs state repeatedly that we'd be able to use a droid and a pet simultaneously and then changed their minds without informing us. All of my forum reading since publish 7 had led me to believe that the CL13 on a droid was a mistake but that doesn't appear to be the case.

this is why I was asking about normal people not able to control combat droids now:

Yeah I find it hard to believe when BE pets can have 5k HAM and be buffed. And our Droids which have 1.7k HAM are more powerful?

Why are my not surprised? I guess this change is in the same update notes as the armor nerf?

Come on, it didnt make sense they would allow both out in the first place. After weeks of telling us we cant give people free checkers, they announced they were giving free checkers. Ill bet this was a misunderstanding on the dev side to TH since day 1. Its really not surprising they pre-emptively nerfed it. Just think of the uber power of >2< CL10 pets.

As usual, it bites they tell us a WEEK after the patch it was supposed to go in.

Okay...so...

** Put on Official Corr. Hat **

Since TH pretty well spilled it, I can tell you the deal...

The Devs have purposefully set the combat droid levels at CL13. This is, for now, our max. droid CL level.

The reason this was done was to give a bit o' love to us for the issues we face balancing our market against BE creatures.

So, there will be no ability to call 2 CL10 pets (of any combination) at the same time. Apparently, this wasn't something they could afford to do, balance-wise.

Again, the fact that you're seeing CL13 is now correct, valid and normal.

TK, Thanks for the *official* confirmation of the CL13 being changed on purpose and was not a bug.

However, why wasn't this information released earlier? It's been one week since Publish 7 went live. Why are we discovering new twists on the DE changes now coming from something Thunderheart said on the Testing Forum and not here in DE?

It is disappointing to see the DEV to player communication still isn't working very well...

Hey! Is the armor showing up as 40% resists instead of 20% also another bit of DE Love too?

Thanks!
