Afterafew loooongtest i've found the problem for this auto-store on our barkersand it is tied to vehicles. Each time i set up my barker droid and went off into the world as it barked i noticed about 20 to 30 mins later when i go to check my droids power in my d-pad to see if it needs a recharge, it shows that the droid is stored. This upset me alot cause i thought that they were bugged and were useless. Then i realized something. Each time i drop my droid and let it bark and i stay there with it, it never auto-stores. I did a 5hr test, dropped my barker, let it bark throughout the day on my day off, fed it power and so forth and it stayed in the world just fine. Then i tested something that i thought was the bug and was proven right. I fed the droid with a fresh battery and zoomed off on my speeder towards my workshop. Now, a common problem i have with my workshop is that when i dismount my bike and go inside, the bike is not there when i come back out like after 5 minutes or less. I've found this to happen at certain areas of the planets where when you dismount your vehicle and enter a structure, your vehicle auto-stores. When this happens, every pet and droid you have out at that moment auto-stores as well. This is what's causing our barkers to go **poof**. I did a new test, dropped by barker droid but this time i traveled away to my shop and stored my bike manually. Came back 3hrs later the barker droid was still in Theed but was 0% on power but the more important thing is, it didnt store itself. I stepped outside, unpacked by bike and drove down to a shop that i know i get this auto-bike store happening all the time. Dismounted my bike, went inside, 3 minutes later by bike goes **poof**. I check my d-pad immediately and i see not only is my bike stored, but my droid is too. Barker droids do not, themselves, auto-store, its other properties in the game that are bugged that affects droids. This is what is causing our frustrations. Solution?....


...fix the bloody game...

Thank you, i hope this solves and answers some of you guys problems and questions. Please do a test on this cause i'd like to know if this is happening on other servers besides my own. I know DocSavg has been looking for the source of what causes this auto-store problem and since devs hear correspondants first, i hope you'll present this problem to them so they can find a solution.

AH yes it now effects more that CH's

Sorry to tell you this but the autostore bug has been around since day 1.
It only effected CH's and is actually #1 on our issue list (where it has been for months now)

I am not saying don't complain about it, Far from it.
The more professions/people to be effected by it the larger the chance it will get fixed.

I just want to point out to you this is far from a new bug.

None at all,
As I said please do, maybe then it will finally get fixed, but I though you might like some more amunition.

I am basically saying the Devs knew this would be an issue long before they intraduced merchant barker droids, they have chose not to address it to the point of corecting it.
