Droid Engineer Archive

I have criticized, I have pleaded for some help. I even asked Sintrosi to step down soon after retail was release to bring attention to our profession. Now of course I know this would have been the wrong thing for Sintrosi to do.

My hats are off to you Sintrosi. You tell us what you know, and tell it how it is.

Unfortunatlely our profession is not much better, maybe worse than back in beta 3 some say. Well, I haven't seen much improvement.

How many posts have we had from the red guys on our forum? The only ones I have seen have asked us EVEN MORE questions such as "What kind of droids would you like to see?" Well HOLO, take a freakin look at the thousands and thousands of posts. Oh wait, I have complained about this before.

The latest "plan" asked us more questions, and didn't really do anything for us. Oh great nes, going to make us DE's "stronger". Who wants R2's to have freakin lasers attached to them running around killing birds and stuff? Can we get a real star wars fan to help this game out?

Well, I could go on but you've heard it all before.

It really hasn't been fun. Another assinine move to keep the public or non-subscribers from reading these forums further disappoints me as I am sure many of us would like to see how the game progresses.

So long fellow DE's. Hat's off also to those that hang in there.

If I were you, I'd stay around at least until we can make mouse droids that explode. Good luck to you, though.

Cya Frito, you've stuck it out and fought hard for a long time, but to no immediate avail, the stall tactics are Obvious and maddening. GL where ever you land.

So, what did your holocron say Frito?

j/k, good luck, and you might be back.

C'ya around Frito, may the force be with you.

I hope you stay, if it is possible for you to hold on longer. But with no timetable in sight, I can understand if you'd just prefer to do something else. Real sad for the profession to lose you though.

Check back into the DE forum occasionally, at least to keep in touch with everyone. There's no guarantee anything will happen to improve the profession. But if it does, and you feel like picking it up again later, it would be great to get back some of the people who have left.

Thanks for all your contributions, Frito.

Frito, we didn't interact a whole lot in-game, even though our shops are close by each other outside Coronet on Naritus, but I hear ya man, and I'm sorry that the game has disappointed you.

I haven't played my DE character Cyprian for over three weeks now. I changed my sign back then to say "Closed until new droid features implemented", but at this point, I don't care if I lose my house and factory and whatever else due to not paying maintenance. Like you said, it's just not worth it.

I give you credit because you were able to keep making droids longer than I could with no new features. It's just a game, and there are more important things in life! I've enjoyed my life much more the past 2 months after breaking my obsessive playing of this game than the 2 months I played it for hours _everyday_.

Peace buddy!

Cheers mate... Im starting to realize that I'll be shortly after you. By the time DEs get any fixes,they'll be planning server merges... if you know what I mean.

Good hunting to you Frito ... as a long standing member of these boards you will be missed. I wish I could tell you things are happening soon. But they are not and we all know that.

One big positive is that Thunderheart is bothering me for DE information more than I am bothering the DEVs to fix us, so we ARE getting attention now. It just will take several months if they are to do it right.

I will admit I am tired too and understand where you are coming from.

Take care Master DE, sad things is I'm right behind you. I've already cancelled my accounts and just waiting for Dec 1st to hit. The only thing I ever see the Dev's really react to is someone yelling for a nerf as some other class is "too powerful". I guess that is why the Dev said in the chat that DE's would be a powerful class soon...to either keep us mired down or to let us know once all the other classes are done being nerfed so no one can solo a durni, that we, the Great DE will be the most powerful class as we can make MSE droids that will then go BOOM. (I'm expecting to see them do that sometime in the next 8 months, then have it bugged and be nerfed since it was too powerful a tool heh..gotta love that 4 dmg on a mob from the explosion! LOL).

Anyway, I'm done complaining and asking myself over and over "why?". At least we won't have to worry about the servers being merged, well you all won't =), since they just opened the european version of the game. I guess they will hope for the 300k users again until the Euro side gets tired of it all too =).

Good luck though Frito! May you find greener pastures with the Temple of Elemental Evil if you head that direction hehe or in FF XI!

Cheers Frito. It was good havin you around, and you'll definitely be missed in the discussions.

If this isn't proof positive that quick and decisive action is needed, I don't know what is.

Thanks for the comments everyone. May the force be with you.
