WHERE ARE THE DROIDS?


first of all no, i am not flaming anyone or anything in anyway, im just curious.

secndly, no im not a DE, but i try to keep informedon tihs stuff


okay, where are all the new droids??? where are the droidekas, IG assion droids and theroger-rogers? i saw a awsome picture of a astromech with his head like a droideka's (the SWG newsletter), and it looked sweet. now i herd about all these upgrades in the patch notes, and well they were gibberish to me. so i decided to take a gander here in the DE forums (being sure to keep a low profile) and i saw cool pics of a R3 with a big razor sticking out of it and stuff and thought "cool, nice minor changes (seeing that it did 78 dmg.)" but then i saw that was the extent of the "droid invasion" and was a little disappointed.... i was so hyped hearing about new droids coming and all itis are droids with mechanical arms holding blasters... looks like im not going get a cool new droid after all... but im still happy that the DEs (and droids) are getting some love and the droids ARE improving (or are they...) and that is fantastic.


but is there any mention of new droid "skins"???

maybe anETA?

any help for a curious trol


<edit> i found the picture of that kick ass blastrotech http://www.station.sony.com/newsletters/swg/newsletter/blastromech_1.jpg

There are no new droids.


There will not be any new droids above CL10 unless something major happens.

The short story. The devs were planning to make a new profession "Droid Handler" for the new combat droids.


The community (De & Non-DE) overwhelmingly voted it down, and they recanted.


But this left them with no method by which to include new droids CL>10 in the game. (The devs have stated skill points must be spent to acquire them).


So we dont get combat droids. Patch7 they are adding combat modules which will allow R3, LE Repair, DZ-70 and Probots to be combat droids of various levels <=10.


The only possibility to get new combat droids >CL10 in the near future is for a DE Proposed plan to be accepted by the Devs, where you would need to beMarksman 0004 and DE 0040 to use >CL10 droids. You can find information about the proposalunder "Sodan'sHybrid DE Proposal". Failingthat,we likely will not see new droids until Space Expansion in a new profession.
