Droid Engineer Archive

Since one of the last patches, my droids won't follow any commands -- like the "follow" command -- when not recharged. It used to be that I would get the dreaded *low power* error but it would still follow (in fact that's how I used to check battery charge before battles). Not anyone. I just sits there like a rock.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, I noticed this also, recently.

Oddly enough, I find it to be a bit inconsistent, in that SOMETIMES I can get my (old, pre-Oct. 8th) advanced R2 to follow me even when it's *Low Power*, but not once it STOPS following me in the field.

What I find to be most irritating is that when this first happened to me, the droid wasn't even SAYING *Low Power*, it just silently refused to follow. Naturally there were no patch notes or anything, I just had to guess what was going on.

Fortunately, I've been a droid engineer (and for that matter a software developer) long enough that it wasn't very long before I tried recharging the thing.

I can only imagine it's a terrible frustration for our customers. :-(

I've noticed a similar issue... It almost makes me want to destroy my 5 Droids and just rebuild them from scratch, since whatever changes SOE has done over the months is causing them to act so weird.
