quick quick ...wats a good strategy to defeat the droid army at the koseyet mining camp.....group of 8 died twice ...there was too many droids by the end...but we did take the field commander out hehe

gearin up to take on the droid army now..

anyone completed this yet an got the YT2400?

Last time i heard in BETA hk-47 was 886k. Any one have any idea if this was changed???? In BETA even devs had a hard time killing him.

To the TOP, To HELP others...

Going off of the steps I've gone through/know about:

Done:
1. Foreman Chivos' stuff
2. Fixing terminal
3. Beetle cave
4. Old Research Facility
5. Decrepit Droid Factory
6. ORF visit/talk to Mensix

Still have to do:
7. Koseyet Mining Camp
8. Volcano Crater

Now people posting in the Beta forums--and I have no clue why this was--were more interested in making everyone work their rear ends off to figure anything out than discussing things. I've never been in a Beta like that, ideally you want to post everything you DO know so others than test it out as well. That's what got me to start this guide in the first place.

I've heard RUMOR...only rumor, do not know if it is true...that after Koseyet Mining Camp you may have to go to "Operational Droid Factory," which is in the same spot as the first DF run.

In any case...Beetle Caves are approximately the 33% mark for the series, though with the actual amount of work you have to do from there on compared to prior I would say it is more or less the 20% mark.

A group of us on Scylla barely did the Koseyet Mining Camp with 5 Jedi and 1 Squad Leader (Our Squad Leader died half way through, but we all survived). Then our group got to the Operational Droid Facility (different from the Decrepit Droid Facility) after we did the Koseyet Mining Camp.

The facility is different now, and much harder.

1) At first you have to kill two named Double Gold Elite at the SAME TIME to get past the first door.

2) Then you have to sabotague the repair terminal (ala Necrosis) with some parts and kill the 88 Double Gold Elite (forgot name).

3) Then you go down and have to kill the Master Droid Engineer. Don't worry about killing the Rapid Assembly Units because they just regen as soon as you kill them.

4) As soon as you kill the Master Droid Engineer, a crazy huge Droid that looks like the little droids from the Pod Races in Episode I comes and attacks (also forgot name). We barely killed him with 1 minute timer remaining.

5) We got to the bottom and had to kill the "Doom Bringer" but we were out of time.

The worst part is there was a 4 HOUR TIMER after we failed. Suffice it to say, we all logged for the night. At the end only 3 members remained out of the starting group of 5 Jedi and 1 Squad Leader because the Blastromechs do deathblow.

We are going to try again tomorrow hopefully and I'll update with information about the Volcano and drops.

Also, lots of the boss mobs drop weapons (pistols, rifles, etc) around 330 base DPS.

AWESOME post, Jantje! I've had a feeling you'd go back to a new version of the place, but never had any confirmation of that.

I was in a gorup last night that managed to finish the Decrepit Droid factory and get to the KMC, we did amazing up until the Droid Commander came and things kind of fell apart from there...I'm thinking everyone got confused as to what to do.

Hopefully we can finish that tonight and get into the new Droid Facility.

Can *ALL* People in the group complete these quests during the same instance run?

Or do u need to rerun it over and over again??

Every single part of this series of quests can be done by the entire group and receive credit at the same time. The ONLY part you cannot is the final-final-final-last-guy fight of the entire thing, which is the YT-2400 drop.

After you left, Kindarin, we went in again--we're not sure what the lockout timer is yet. Personally, I came to the conclusion that it's better to have a balanced group--we were killing faster and more efficiently when we were less Jedi-heavy. I think our original group that we blew through the droid factory with is about ideal--swordsman, a couple of Jedi, a SL, some rezzers, and some ranged damage dealers.

Just a warning, there's a 9 hour lockout timer if you lose on the final volcano battle with HK-47 and his Droid Army. Whee.

Do have to defeat all of the droids to succeed at KMC or is there some trick to it? What are the demolition charges for? There were about 100 droids in that army. Can anyone drop a Bothan a bone?
