Thread: Do Barker Droids Count to Your Total Droids Allowed Out?

I dropped my barker off near a starport, then headed out to take care of a few things. In the course of events, I had to pull out my crafting droid; I realized half way thru the job that my barker was still out, tho the limit for droids is supposed to be one out at a time.

Even ran back to town to see if it was actually still there (it was). Did I miss the part about barker droids not counting to total out, or am I just bugged?

This is a known bug and is considered an exploit by some (to do it knowingly). It is recommended that you don't deliberately take advantage of this.

Thanks Enigma, seems harmless, but if it's a bug, it's a bug.

It's not just barker droids. if you get out any droid and go far enough away from it you can call another droid. I am not sure exactly how far is far enough. (I think you can possibly do this with any pet.) It would prolly be exploitive to do it deliberately in order to get a sqadron of attackdroids together, however Isometimes get my crafting droid out while crafting in my player city, while my barker droid is barking away in coro, and I don't think that is very much of an exploit, since the droids aren't used together.

To be honest I have never understood the limitation of one droid at a time anyway. There are no combat droids to speak of, so it would have zero effect on combat. I can't say that I see the harm in anyone having more than one droid out at a time.



(I know that there are probots and whatnot, but they are so weak as to be useless in combat.)

Actually combat droids are really useful in combat as long your not talking about using them against krayts and such. Im in love with my combat droid with auto-repair. You need more then one out so you can get the droids wounds healed and such. But then this isnt to discuss it and I dont want to get one-starred for throwing a thread offtopic.
