Thanks again, Tiggs. We surely appreciate the attention and the candor. Have a nice vacation. We'll still be here when you get back.

DE Revamp!! you have to be joking,

Yes there was a supposed ‘revamp’ but . . . .

max level combat droids can now be made by almost any DE
- (This is a big problem for 2 year vet DE’s)

Droid health no longer regen’s this meant that you droid which is forced up from CL30 to CL80 when grouped get killed in 4 hits and then just lies on the floor in bits until you use droid repair kits on them. This should be the case for droid wounds not droid health makes them mostly useless in combat once your char passes CL30.

Weapon hindrance on droids!! It cant unequip or change the weapon so why is there any hindrance

No state recovery for droids (they get knocked down and that’s it till you store and call them).

Droid Armour all but disappears after first call.

R series droids no longer have the ranged attack this only compounds the no health regen as they have to enter into melee range.

Creature harvest droids get less of a bonus then players do in a group.

Structure maint modules now useless as the structure now deducts from you bank.

Item store limit on droids still only 10 when every thing else Houses/backpacks have had there limits increased.

Medic droids now give a very small bonus to field healing rather than being required to heal in the field.

Droid deeds still display numbers that mean nothing to our customers.

Well over half our droid types serve little or no function BBL with no mod slots in can only walk around being annoying.

Seeker droids don’t use charges when being used (supposed to be fixed in Pub21 . . . ).

Crafting droids do now work but with the new Pet AI system they wonder off half way though the craft and so give you an error on crafting.

Cant name Humanoid droids / Cant use numbers in droid names (R2-D2).

Droids that hover are slower than I can walk – Should be able to keep up with the slower speeders.

There's a lot more but this isn't the place

The current DE prof along with Smuggler, Ranger, Squad Leader & Entertainer now have very little use in the game

Yes my friend it is very sad to see that and I do agree with you 100 %. Everything from the DE issues, to the comment about the other professions. Seems that if you dont have a Light Saber, the Devs really dont seem to care much.

But hey....atleast there will be plenty of Jedi!

Maybe we could get an answer why neither you nor TH said anything about the Leipzig dev breakfast. It took a player to find out it's now officially selling tickets and it was sold out before most people noticed (might have been different for a few if it had been officially announced, I checked dev tracker for this daily for months and now this).
This thread is about the breakfast where the link was posted (the link originally was released by the press).

I'm very disappointed by this big lack of communications. For the first time since I play this game I lost quite much faith in dev-player communication.


P.S.: 100 player limit is a joke, does Sony or LucasArts really think Europe is that small? Even at Indy they allowed more people to show up as far as I remember.

Translation...

God forbid that the Devs are allowed Vacations. How dare them.

This isnt a beat the chest "we are worse off than you are" thread. Its a thread for SLs posting what they "would like to see were a dev to ever post on the Squad Leader forums" thread that happens to be in the Squad Leader forum. Please don't start/continue the flame cycle resulting in the devs ignoring us even more. We show respect to your professions by not compaining about SL on your forums...show us the same respect here please.

Word.

Idk about anyone else but it seems like an awful lot of devs seem to be taken a lot of Vacations. Takeing a Vacation durring a time of great out cry at your Job? Very unprofessional.

---

Hmm, I'm pretty vocal too, but telling folks they cannot take vacations is pretty silly. I think it's very professional to take vacation time due. Obsessive workaholics that never relaxdon't do anyone any good.

oh, boy... here we go again!

Let's remember this is the SL forums, no need to wander off into a complaint thread. Another question I have has to do with what I read elswhere about the house packing deal. Supposidly we will be able to package up our houses contents and all with additional features with it. What I would like to know is, will this lead to some clean up of long time abandoned structures? As in, it wouldnt destroy the players houses and items, but package them up and so that they're stored on their account. It would keep from angering the customer even though they might never play but would also reduce much of the lag. That's one question that realy got my attention, forgot where I seen it though.
