Droid Engineer Archive

Yesterday i colored my BBL bright red and set it to patrol Kaadara. It did so whole day, while i was working on my Alderaan act 2 and some other stuff. In one point i headed out to my vendor and builded few droids to one kind customer. I colored few of his droids and showed some of my own. Called own droids at least 3 times, soon after that i logged off. Today morning before going to school i logged in and went to Kaadara with my character. 1st thing i noticed, my BLL was still there patrolling So if there is droid patrolling i can call another droid? Is this bug or has it been like this always?

This from the Required Reading sticky at the top...

R.EXPLOIT: By telling a droid to stay, running 800m (need to cross a server zone?) or so away and calling another droid, you can effectively call all your droids at once.

And it is exploit Thought that we finally had got a break, er small one

It is exploitable in that you can call 5 probots and get them all to fight for you instead of being limited to having only one droid active at a time.

There is a number now that shows up when you examine the droids in the datapad, however. Something like 'Difficulty Factor'. My guess is that we will be getting the ability to control multiple droid in another few months.

You would think that since we are similar to the CH in code, if not from the same code base that this would be something that would be easy to implement. Its also something I think we should have had from day one. I always envisioned DE's having a retinue of droids so that they could show off their wares.

This exploit works for CHs as well. A CH can call out all their pets. So I cant wait for it to get nerfed , er .. fixed. Yeah -- I have been driven to be bitter and hate Creature Handlers.. lol. And I have one on another account.

I feel your pain Sin... I only recently broke down and purchased my first non-CH pet. Of course, the price was right... free.
