A recent fix, has allowed mission levels and payoff, to take your group into consideration. If I take a mission on my own, right now, I get level 7 missions. If I have a group of me, and my 2 Kusaks, I get level 20 missions. Just for fun, I decided to try my droid. Me and my surgical droid get level 5 missions. Having that droid in my group, actually drops my mission levels. Bummer :>

I wonder if a tougher droid would help any. Anyone try this with a combat droid?

I never get paid if I group for missions with my droid.

Well probots count as CL 16 pets so that may be a help there.. but yea, currently im not getting the rewards on missions while grouped with my droid. Does anybody else know if this is also effecting Creature/faction pets? Otherwise it isnt getting fixed anytime soon

A probot will raise the level of the mission.

I sometimes group with my basic probot and get higher missions. When I complete the mission I don't get any message that I received my reward but I keep a close eye on my account and I do actually get the reward. It just doesnt tell me.

For the guy who asked about pets. Yes I do get paid with my pets in the group. The main problem with pets in the group is that when you go to harvest the mob, you only get about 60% of the normal harvest. I think this started when they put in the fix so that every scout in the group could harvest from the same mob. Even if I fight with the pet, disband, and then harvest, the harvest is not as good as if I hadn't grouped with the pet during the batte.

As far as not getting payment when a droid is in the group, I didn't actually intend to group with the droid during the battle, I just wanted him at the mission terminal. Thanks for the info that a probot counts as a level 16 pet --- too bad he isn't as useful as one any more

Yeah, weird things happen to me when I try to run missions grouped with my driod, when compared to my (gasp) cowardly gurreck. I do get higher level pay missions when I am grouped with my gurreck and lower with my driod, but it gets really weird when it comes to payout. When I complete one with the gurreck, i get the pay as usual and a bit lower xp(but that is expceted). But when I do it grouped with my driod, i get the full xp(no surprise as my driod doesn't enter combat) but I get only half the pay, as if I was in a group of other players shareing the payout. I end up looking at my driod and yelling at it saying "What the hell do you need the money for?" and in reply it just beeps at me...its probably telling me to "F-off fool, this money is for my Bookie"
