Droid Engineer Archive

ok i read a few post here about the up coming DE fix.
am i right if i say that all this Droid handler discussion is just a assumption so far?
or did any official realy wrote something about creating a DH profession?

I heard Thunderheart himself thinks we want the DH profession. Thats just hearsay though, I cant find any quotes for it; so don't quote me.

I hope DH never sees the light of day. I think it's just laziness replicating what has already been done with BE/CH even if logic dictates this is a different case.

Thunderheartssecond post on the following thread, it's about half way down the page.

i hope we dont get a DH profession. cause thats part of the DE himself imo.
1. it would be a copy of teh CH
2. its a bit strange that a DE shouldnt be able to control his own driods.

but ... there are allready enuff discussions of that kind

thx for teh link, jsut reading through it and i hope TH gets it taht most of the DEs dotn want a DH

Just to quote TH: "The timetable was changed because the Droid Engineers were very clear in telling me they wanted Droid Engineering and Droid Handling as two seperate professions.

Their argument makes a lot of sense too. A good balance is akin to Bio-Engineers and Creature Handlers; BE's make em and CH's use them. Its really two different playstyles. One is crafting and one is combat/exploration. Adding a class of combat droids to the game has to be similar. Combat droids themselves have to stay level 10 or under for the general population otherwise everyone would rush out and get the better pets. That leaves a wide range of powerful combat droids that needs to be in the game, but to get those droids, players have to spend the time and energy to earn them.

So what we'll have is a Droid Engineer profession and a Droid Handling profession. All players will have access to combat droids up to level 10 and DH's will get a wide range of heavy combat droids to handle."

Not to spark another debate, but it doesn't make any sense at all, and most of us don't want a droid handling class.

Did you guys notice how we are being blamed for the delay? As if we JUST informed TH of our positon. Not only does he not understand what we want, but he blames us for they delay. Jan-Feb has turned into July.

Umm we don't want the stupid DH profession !

I think for EACHskill of DE you get, you get another 1 or 2 levels (above 10) of droid you can use.
