Thread: combat droid problems bug?
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.

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....
update i got past the lvl of the bot and it has not had the problem since.
Up to lvl18 the same lvl of the bot i kept having the same issue but soon as i pasted it boom back to norm. Group or ungrouped works the same now. Its pretty good backup now lol.
