Thread: The New Publish 7 seems to be a joke.........

I have been reading about the changes to DE for the upcoming publish 7, and it looks like a joke. The worst is that it appears that the "Droid Invasion" will be nothing but a weakly modified pro-bot. This really upsets me. I was expecting to be able to produce some really nice combat droids (see the droids on Episode 1 and 2 that have shields and great weapons and cause jedi to turn and RUN). Due to the prospect of having some powerful droids, I dropped what I was doing (working on my holo), and commited myself to making Master DE for the publish 7 patch. In the last week, I have bought a BER-14 Fusion, 5 BER-10 mineral harvesters, and 2 BER-12 Heavies (good price on the heavies). I have put everything into being able to get the resource neccessary to make DE to build some awsome droids for me and my guild.


Then I started reading the publish 7 "In Testing" forums yesterday and just about got sick to my stomach. To the DEV's (I hope you are reading this), what have you been smoking to make you think that people will respond favorably to a "Droid Invasion" that consits of slightly modified probots. That is weak. Already, the only thing you see droids used for is to build mobile crafting stations and extra storage. Other than that, droids make fantastic decorations. You have made one of the most "star warsy" elements of the game, a totaljoke. It makes me wonder how many of the DEV's were around when Episode 4 came out in 1977! Probably not many. This is a fantastic universe, and up till this point, I was extremely satisfied with SWG. I was even ready to forgive the weaknesses of the droids because you were working on a patch called "Droid Invasion".


The "Droid Invasion" in its current form is a joke. If I were a DEV, I would hide my head in the sand and pray that I could get a job on the nextAdam SandlerMovie, because the similarities of the "Droid Invasion" is every bit as accurate to the true Star Wars Universe, as Spaceballs is.

Yes we read the whole 'combat droids in Jan' thing and what do we expect ?


I dont know where the problem was. But either 'they' changed thier minds. Or, thought we did.



I doubt they will change 7. Im not too, optimistic that we can get a 'droid invasion' in 8 either.


Then having spent 2 months 'loving' us,, They gonna make publish 9 what we 'want'. while others profs are griping about nothing for them.


Im going to tag master DE (it may be a 'holo' thing) I will probly wait thru 7 and 8 or untill im sure enough that they arnt going to satisfy. I'll have more time for 'r/l' / other 'o/l'thats not all bad. They sure got me and those like me in a bind. Cant 'DE', and cant do anything else without losing all that grind.

The saddest thing about this release..they put a big imphasis on Droids and Droid Engineers in their customer relation letters. But, when you read the Test Center notes, you soon find that Droids and DE are only like 1/12 of this publication. That is what I find odd. Also, many of the items for DE are things that SHOULD have been repaired in Beta. So as you said, all this publication will hold for us is an upgraded droid, which we have already...so not like it is going to be the new fasion in the game.


I certainly hope they are hiding something wonderous from us. That is the only hope I have left. The fact that maybe they have something up their sleeve and will release it in conjunction with this publish. The fact that maybe they are going to release something that they have not put on Test Center or out to the public. Only problem is, their recent activities make it difficult to believe they would do something like this.
