Thread: What's wrong with my droid?

Droid batteries seem to last 20-25 mins of having a droid called, less when the droid has to move. Your best bet is call droid, do what ever healing you need to do, then store it instantly.


I have the same problem with my probots. I use a series of probots when I fight. After each battle I store droid and call a new one. As long as I store droid as soon as timer allows, I can get 10 battles per droid before I have to recharge. But if I have to keep droid out any long (like to heal or use crafting station), the number of battles per droid plummets, sometimes down to 2 or 3 battles per charge.


The key is call droid, do what you have to do, and store it as soon as you can. And never travel with droid out as that seems to reduce power even faster.

I really wonder about battery life.


OK, probots each them like they are skittles


but for me personally, I only feed my other units maybe once a week. I dont know why.


talking protocal, r2, r5, repair


I chalk it up to luck.. but still its strange.

Why is it my medical R2 unit needs to be recharged almost every time I pull it out if i want to use it to heal? Today I recharged it to heal myself. Then logged back in later on and tried to use it to heal someone else and it needed to be recharged again. This is nuts. My old droid would last for weeks before needing a recharge.

You can thank the devs for that one. It's not like the battery usuage helps DEs. Artisans can craft the batteries.


Ho...

the problem is not with the droid but with a good ol message you are probably getting that says...


"your droids customization has completely faded away"



get a de to color your droid and the problem will be fixed

DZ-70 and Probots do consume power faster as they are combat droids and their baster fire drains them. I use an R2 as a mobile crafting station and I have to recharge it almost twice a week..
