Good morning to our DE community,

I'd like to express my support and empathy for the DE community and the state of your profession. Since low-levels I have not used my DE designed probot in combat. Why? It is not very combat effective compared to alternate pets, it can be damaged too easily in combat, probots can not be healed in combat, and when it is incapped it is permanently destroyed. BE/CH pets are hands-down superior to DE pets in all of these regards, as are faction pets for that matter. I hope that the Dev Team listens to your concerns and suggestions in improving your options.

While climbing the Investigation line in BH I bought many Seekers/Arakyds from local DEs, but as a Master BH I no longer have need of them (BH missions are not worth doing once the Investigation line is done) and have not bought anything from a DE since reaching Master level. One suggestion that you could pass along to the Dev Team via your correspondent when your next report is submitted: a BH droid that can be sent out like a probe that slows down or stops a BH mark's movement for a period of time would be priceless to the BH community and would be bought just as much as Seekers/Arakyds.

Actually permadeath is gone, so if you have a probot with 40% resists, it will last longer in a fight than most of the non_CH pets in the game. However the attack isvery weak and like you said as of right now you can not heal them in battle.

Yeah we would like a lot of different changes lol, I guess we can only wait, and wait and wait.
