i started to use a probot. after 2 kills with it, it just stops killing properly. what i mean is 150 to 200 damage per hit then after 2 kills it drops down to 40 damage per hit, and continues to hit for 40 per hit and never gets better. I store and bring it back out, and it hits fine a couple of times then it drops down to 40 damage per hit again.


For the first few days after the cu everything is fine but after the last patch this has started to happen.



edit sry i didnt see the other thread until it was to late.

Huh...haven't seen that, and I usually watch the combat numbers when my probot goes into combat. It's damage is pretty steady. The droid I have was created pre-CU...don't know if that makes a difference...

well the one i was useing was pre-cu. so i thought well it must be bugged so ill just got get a new one. I got 2 new ones another probot and a r2 or r3 which everone has the clear top on it that looks like r2-d2. either way the old one and the new ones do the same thing.

I have never seen this problem either.


What was the CL level of the creature it happens against, was the creature agressive or not? Did it fight back? Does it only happen on certain planets? If you tell the Droid to guard, will it defend you?


There used to be a problem during "Beta" that droids didn't like to attack things a lot higher level then it was, but I thought that got fixed.


The only way to isolate these odd bugs is if we give the Devs a lot of information.

guard ya right they never guarded me in their entire life expcet when i dont wan them too. lol so i dont even bother anymore. Its just me i guess, but the other isnt.

The most common time i run into this is when i have been fighting lets say a lvl 19 rock bettle and i am stopping them. then all of the sudden boom 40 damage per hit, or after i just killed the lvl18 or 19 rock bettle there would be a lvl12 krettle i think and boom 40 damage per hit.

Make sure that nothing is putting states on your droid, or that you are not stating the target. Yes some of the new states can be put on droids.

I think that the only reason that this is occuring is due to the fact that all droids were hit with a blanket 'creature' pass and were never re-asserted as being a droid.


Droids are not supposed to suffer from states. It is one of the changes that was made to make them unique from pets. During CU Beta, droids were healable by stims and medical effects, just like pets are. I'm betting that the states effecting droids is a left over issue from when the intial balancing manuever was put into play, during beta.


This would more then likely also be whydroids currently have Health funkiness....




As for the issue with the Probot hitting for lowered damage, I'm betting that the 'spitting issue' is now working in an opposite fashion, on occasion. Instead of hitting for maximum damage, as is/was the case when the Probot would produce the 'spitting' sound effect, I would suggest that the Probots are now hitting for minimum damage, as if the droid was equipped with the bare minimum Combat Rating.


When ever you see this happening again, in the combat logs, take a listen to what combat sound effect the droid is issuing.

Well some states should work on Droids I think. For example, I don't see why Droids can't be snared or hit with Armor break, even knocked down. It's just the ones like bleed and such that don't make sense.
