Is droid perma-death still in effect? I stopped using my pre-nerf probot when droids started dying permanently. From reading Thunderheart's posts, it looks like droid perma-death is currently removed. Is this true?

Yes, perma death has been gone for a long time. Whether you'll actually be able to use that pre-nerf after this coming patch is open to debate. Any non-CH is limited to CH lvl 10 or less pets after the next patch. Since the pre-nerf is lvl 16 (or 17?), he may not be useable. Some people think that the CL 10 pets only applies to organic pets though, so who knows.

Yes , it is true. Droids do not perma die.

I can confirm that at least one droid is not affected by the CL10 limit, currently on TC. The Advanced Binary Load Lifter is a Difficulty Level 12 droid and is still usable by anyone that calls it.

The current Live versions of the Probot, pre-nerf and post, have a Difficult Level rating of 16 in the datapad. The post -nerf Probots have been listed incorrectly this entire time; however, I am of the strong opinion that existing droids will not be affected by the coming changes, only because of the large number of changes that would need to be made to all player owned droids.Non-CH pets will not be automatically changing, which are going to be greatly affected by this patch, and must be traded in at any CH trainer.
