Speaking of droid colors, I crafted a brand new Adv. R3 droid for a friend yesterday. I colored it a nice dark red with black trim. The deed looked right, and the droid looked fine when it was readied (I think). But the first time it was called (could have been when it was readied -- will check with my friend today -- didn't think to ask him if he'd readied it before) it showed up all white, as if all the colors had faded.

What the ?????

I reported this in the Live Issues thread but have no hopes that anyone will pay attention to it. Anyone else have this happen? Or was it a weird one-time glitch?

My droids seem to be fine, but Vehicle Customisation colour white doesn't seem to stick. Looks great when you do it, but next time you call it, whatever you had as white, is back to its base colour.

May be related?

AHHHH HAHHH so I am not the only one! I posted the same thing here right after the patch and was ignored. Nice to see that I am not crazy.

Bugs are ignored right now, unless they involve jedi. Sad but true.

I made an R2 droid a specific colour before finishing the creation. However, it says my customization has a limited life. I'm MDE, I thought decided the colour at build meant it always stayed that colour.

I had hoped so too, but alas it is not true. In fact the initial color you give the droid is only going to last for 20 calls. If the customer repaints it later with a customization kit it will last 50 calls (though that 50 may be increased to 100 soon).

Personally, I think it's all dumb. The initial paint job should be the default color and should last forever. And the color from the customization kits should last forever too. I think making us repaint our droid and vehicles every N calls is similar to giving architects an "outhouse" schematic and thenrequiring every player to relieve themselves at the outhouse ever N logins.

But that is just me. Others think differently. The developers certainly think differently.

Heya, fellas...

I reported this paint issue (and brought up Protocol paint) again on the Corr boards. So, they know now (if they didn't already)....

Thanks, TK. We have enough bugs to deal with without them adding new ones

Was the protocol paint that he brought up the same issiue that I encountered tonight-I built 2 droids and it gave me no option to color either droids in the crafting state.

Later, when I tried to use a kit it says it has to be droid or pet.

Is this the issiue THEREALTK421 is talking about?
