i really wish something would be done about this! i get hundreds of tells each night because i have my droid builder flag on with people asking me can i make batteries last longer. I think this is something that could be corrected in a hotfix. I mean even pets dont need to feed that much. As it is the state of batteries has actually hurt some of my potential droid sales becuase i'm up from with clients about how short lived they are

Grinak,

I generally suggest to my clients that they seek out players selling droid batteries that are crated.


Quick, easy and fairly inexpensive.

While I agree that ATM crated batteries are the answer it's still a REAL pain having to remember to charge your probot every 15-20 minutes. I hope they either a) increase the duration statically or even better b) allow you to increase the duration through experimentation.

1. droid battery life is waaaaaay to low to begin with. this could be fixed in about 2 seconds by changing some static number somewhere I'm sure.



2. there is NO meter to tell how much power a droid has left. not much more complicated than #1 i'd think.



be realistic, all that techonolgy and their droid batteries don't last more than 10-20 minutes? huh, imagine your cell phone battery lasting that long....make batteries last at least an hour, and add a meter so we know how far down they are, and everyone would be happy.

Agreed. But for some strange reason, SOE has shown itself incapable, unable, unwilling, or just simply clueless to go about fixing the most basic of bugs and problems with the game. It's something I just don't understand.

The problem is that the devs never watched the Star War movies, they watched the P o k e m o n movies...


At the Star Wars movies you see a lot of droids wandering, but the deevs believe that at the Star Wars universe there's a lot of p o k e m o n wandering.


No one will deploy a droid and walk with a droid all the time if the droid needs recharge each 20 min. This is easy to fix (they change to the pets fast...) and if really there's some good faith from the devs about make this game more starwarsy they need fix this to droids immediatly. And un-nerf the probots isn't imaginable, but strong pets (aka p o k e m o n ) so strong as the pre-nerf probots is a frequent vision....


But obviously the devs are selling a false product here. This is not Star Wars Galaxies, this game is P o k e m o n Galaxies....

tk i also suggest a crate and even give a crate of 25 with a new droid, i can use a crate int very short amount of time with how short they last, heck i don't even keep my own droids out for this reason
