Im short on time, but I wanted to hit the high points on this thread with some info:



  • Null rooms (twilight zone); This is in progress and we hope to have it cleared up soon.

  • DE's getting access to one droid: This will be changed in the near future (near future being 30-60 days depending on production schedules)

  • Droid Pets having "Tame" instead of "Program": the dev is going to fit this in as soon as possible

  • Huff Quest problems - good info. Thanks guys. Should all be cleard up by live

And just thanks in general. Your hard work is really shining through.


As far as getting them all, thats my job and Im doing it today






It isn't much, but they are both points we've been screaming for since release.

No batteries, but you will need a long extension cord instead.

We'll be able to pull out more than one pet by January is how it is reading to me. At worst by Febuary. The reason for such a long delay (30 to 60 days) is that it does effect quite a lot of areas (like many things in DE). They have to be sure of how they will be doing the combat droid system before they can move on this. They have to check the pathing and pet logic as well, though they do have practice, what with CH's. But speaking of those, they will actually have to branch away or make a seperate identifier flag system for droids and droid engineers (otherwise we'll be able to pull out three creatures at a time and CHs' will be able to pull out 3 droids). Among other things anyhow..


Personally i look on this as a good thing. There's too much happening for the Devs not to pay attention to us at this point. Call it a gut feeling, but things will look up in the time window they have given us.

Well sure, if you want to have out 2 Power Droids along with your 1 useful droid.


See, you need a Power Droid to recharge your useful droid, then you need another Power Droid to recharge the first Power Droid. The second Power Droid can, of course, be recharged by the first Power Droid. Because, as we all know, even though a Power Droid can be used to jump start the Millenium Falcon, it can't even follow you around for 15 minutes without needing to be recharged itself.


Ultimately, this is why we need access to at least 3 droids at once.

Sorry, TH has all the credibility of a career politician....

That post was my attempt at optimism. Everyone keeps talking about it so I figured I'd give it a try.

Yes sirs.... As TH said... NO ONE except CH has any business having more then 1 "pet" out at a time.


Funny, I never noticed that in the movies. I guessthe thousands of DE's (at 1 per bot) were all standing behind the camera.....

I hope TH means "access to more than one droid". To my knowledge, we already have access to one droid, unless that was nerfed, too.
