Droids


Made droids private crafting stations again.


Added protocol droid combat animations


Fixed bug where probot reassembles after being destroyed


-----------------------------------------------


They are kidding, right? Combat animations for protocols? Dear beelzubub!

You know that 3PO is just dying to open a can on all those Jawas out there for what they did to the great gold C-man!

Weren't those the patch notes with the mount patch or one of the hotfixes immediately thereafter?

I find protocol combat animations depressing. It says to me that they're going forward with the plan of "Every droid is a combat droid."


Never have I come across a Protocol in the wild, much less one with a weapon. Givent their "Plan", and their habit of not telling anyone anything, I've got a bad feeling now.

have to concur... I thought they already corrected the private crafting station bug (and have heard of the probot issue elsewhere). Where'd these come from, DarthRoe?

Worrying - very!!



I agree from this it seems they still are going down th 'Droid module' route,even when they know the module (aka cluster) bug



I do still have hope - but if TH doesn't get with some DE soon in game,my thought is we are lost.


This is the one and ONLY chance to change things before they move on to Brawler (as, co-incidentally TH would love personally) and other combat skills



For Artisans sake - FGS fix the harvesters - you (Devs) broke it so you dam*ed*d wel better fix it soon cos it is not zero fun, its negative fun

Out of curiosity, I don't recall seeing this suggested by any rednames before; where did you get this idea? Did I miss something somewhere?

This may not necessarily mean the animations of a 3PO firing a weapon. It could mean the animations of a protocol droid during combat. Given that the current non-combat droids run away from combat,SOE maybe making specific animations for it. So ala C-3PO, the protocol droid may throw its arms into the air while it scurries away from a battle. And actually, that would be kind of cool!

Or, more likely, they are adding animations for when they are hit, rather than them not even flinching while running away.

i DONT want a 3cpo as a combat droid what i want it to fix the cluster exploit!


The repair moduel problems! and to do something whit the BLL so it can be used for other things than advertising!


This is just sad! they are just adding more stuff whit bugs in them! probably now 3cpo can carry a gun but use it? OHHH no! there will be a bug preventing that!
