I've just recently made DE and I'm sorry If Its been asked before, but when do they plan on releasing the Droidekas and other Combat Droids? From what I heard before, they were suppose to come out in publish(6), but now I've been hearing rumors that they may not come out at all.Can someone please elaborate on this further.

Define "we"...

Actually the answer is still very much out of our view... The suggested method that was brought forth was loudly shouted down by the community, but that's no guarantee it won't happen. If it does, then "we" get to make them for someone else to use.

ROFL Sketh


Toanswer the main post though - there is currently only rumor about the addition of new combat droids.


There seems to be more evidence of combat modules to be added to existing droids but no details as yet.


Again there is no evidence that these new combat changes will be useable by the DE only - they may be usable by all or they may be given to specific classes or a brand new class.

Can someone tell me where people keep hearing there will be Droidekas? Let alone this month?


I swear, if I could TEF people who ask for Droidekas, my SWG experience would be 10 fold better.

Your gonna have 3CP0 with strap on laser cannon on one side and a partical beam blaster on the other.


Target in sight zero in and shout ATTACK


As you wait for the flame thrower animations to come from your beloved 3CP0 you here a wisper "Low Power"


You frantically search for a battery to power your new toy and radial your droid to recharge, but wait you cant, your in combat and the Desert Demon Mad Crazed Lunitic is closing fast.


SCREAM LIKE A BABY RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.


Meanwhile your wondrous new swiss armor C3P0 stands there unable to move due to a lack of power, but how could this be, it must have a short it has only been out of the data pad for 4 min. Luckily you had a head start and get out of agro range.


You now venture back to were your droid was left to find poor C3P0 in pieces on the ground. His brand new lasser canon has been confiscated by that bad demon.


You gather all the parts up and head off to visit that theif that calls himself an engineer to get a refund.

NOT


Not when it was promised, or even remotely close by the look of it


Not when it should have been, 7 months have gone by and we have had a cluster f..ix


Not worth it to a DE when we eventually get C3-PO with a Scout Blaster at CL10


Not in the DE profession. Some other profession yes, but not in this one


You may want to re-roll your dice at this point
