Thread: POLL: Ok, which would you prefer for combat droids?

Question #1: If we get ONLY ONE new combat droid, would you want that droid to be: (DE-only or Sellable)


(A) DE-only; or


(B) Sellable to and usuableby all classes



Question #2: If you voted for A (DE-only) in question one...would you be satisfied if devs gave us one CL15 droid sellable to and usuable by all classes, but allowed DEs to call TWO of the droids at once instead of giving us a DE-only droid(Total CL30). (Yes or No)



Question #3: If you had a choice between the devs (1) creating multiple combat droids for us to use/sell, and (2) devs giving us one new combat droid and creating new modules/inherent functions for our existing droids to give them purpose (C-3PO, BLL, power bot), which would you choose? (Combat or Functions)




Rationale: Lots of players have said that they believe we will get multiple droids, and that it would be nice if one of those droidswas DE-only.


HOWEVER, what happens if we don't? The devs only proposal to uswas ONLY DE-only droids. It is obvious that the devs have limited time to fix us, and in the process we will have to make choices. Currently, there is ONLY one droid already in the game that we cannot make (Droideka), and devs cannot give us multiple new droids without rendering and creating whole new graphical models. This will never happen.


Because of this and the devs limited time, it is probable that we will get at most ONLY one new droid, and will have to make the choice of whether we want to sell it, or keep it. This is obvious from TH's proposal from the devs.


Also, because of the pet nerfs limiting players to ONLY one pet, and because droids are currently the worst combat pet players can have, it is likely that without new combat droids, there will be little or no market for combat droids in the future leaving us to sell toartisans who need crafting stations (newest poll says this is 15% of players) and medics who need medical modules (less than 40% of players, including players who have medic only to heal damage in battle and don't needmedical modules toheal wounds).


The question becomes: If forced to choose, do you choose (1) preserving the player market for our goods, or (2) letting the market fail and requesting DE-only droids to fight with instead.

1. Yes.


2. No.


3. Question 3 is too flawed to answer

You just proposed a bunch of questions that are bias to your own view of the Droid Engineering profession.


This is how I will answer your questions.......A quote from you


'I don't care what you think anymore. Stop replying to my posts, I'm done with you. I would prefer to continue conversations with people capable of logical thought and reasoning, rather than people who sit on their high horse brimming with absolute sutbborness.'

Eric, stop flooding the thread...if you want to argue with me either (1) consolidate, or (2) PM me.


#3 is not too flawed to answer...It addresses reality: Devs are not going to spend 6 months having their whole team dedicate themselves to fix us. We ARE NOT going to get 6 new droids AND 6 new functions for every droid to use. There are 30 other broken classes that devs cannot ignore to fix us. Because of time constraints I ask a simple question in #3:


Which do you prefer: (1) lots of new combat droids, or (2) lots of new functions forour existing droids?


If we can't have both, it is important that we have priorties.

IF we cant have both? I don't see why we eventually cant have both. Its more of what will come first. I doubt they will allow the binary load lifter to be so useless forever.


And I am not flooding if everything I said had a valid point.

Eric,


You were flooding. Start at this post and count up...how many are yours, how many are are other posters? I was simply asking for you to consolidate you thoughts, instead of posting 5 different times.

Drashk, that is uncalled for:


(1) The post wasn't directed at you, had nothing to do with you, and did not concern you.


(2) It was an aggravated flame...I was responding to someone who was flaming me. The same person has been criticizing all my posts here for days with the same, dry, tired argument, and never reading anything I posted or considering anything I was saying. I was asking him to stop trolling my posts.


(3) I now ask you to do the same. If you don't want to answer the questions, don't. I think it's ironic that you copy this from a defensive post having nothing to do with you and post it here as a personal attack, at the same time you are telling me not to resort to personal attacks.


Whatever...


You guys win...I'm done posting on this issue. I don't care anymore...it stopped being fun a long time ago.

I had 3 posts in a row, then i responded to Drashk, then I responded to you. Is responding not allowed?


In Sintrosi's "2 cents" thread you posted 3 times in a row on page 5.


You're being hypocritical, and grasping for something to argue against me.

This seems to be to be the base of your opposition to the whole "no DE-only" droid argument, and I proved you've been basing this on incorrect information.


OMG brilliant idea! MAYBE if you had a decent DE ONLY combat droid, you would've been able to go to the droid caves on Lok and SEEN there is more than 1 kind of droid in the game we cannot make.
