Aelther Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) This thread is old and outdated, pls just let it die and don't necro it. Here's an updated one: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=628671 here's the original post if you Really wanna read it: I wanted to create a thread like this for quite a while now, but after announcement of HK-51 I finally decided to do it. Pre 1.2 Droid companions were not able to wear the best possible gear due to inability to extract end game Armorings / Barrels. Post 1.2 This problem still persists because of armoring restrictions (for example if you extract the armoring from Rakata chest, the armoring will be restricted to chest pieces only). It is not possible to insert that restricted armoring into any form of droid armor, thus making all humanoid companions superior to droids. I really hope that the patch that introduces HK-51 will do something about this, either by allowing droids to wear humanoid armor (wookies can, why not droids) or by removing the armoring restrictions (I am not asking to remove them completely, just make them compatible with droid armor, for example head can go into Sensor Unit, Chest to Core and so on). :csw_r2d2:Droids should have a full right to wear Black Hole / Campaign gear, just like every other companion.

zappuslol Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This thread raises a VERY important issue! SHOW SUPPORT FOR DROIDS!! p.s. Might have sounded sarcastic, but this matter is no joke. As HK will be my favorite companion, I hope bioware fixes this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelther Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) And.... 3 months later... and nothing. Furthoremore nothing sounding to be in the works! Well to be fair they added 2 non-modifiable sets for droids: Tanking and DPS (first ever DPS set for droids). Both of them are mod level 65 (if they had mods) a.k.a 'Tier 6', so they are better than dread guard. Still not as good as adaptive armorings for droids like I suggested, but better than nothing I guess... Edited December 3, 2012 by Aelther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmane Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I strongly agree with the raised proposal. It would be way better to not to have to wait for special droid armor sets and be able to gear droids as easily as the humanoid companions pool. Say NO to droid discrimination, the chiggers of the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I agree. Adding end game gear sets is a nice start, but it would be so much easier to just make droid gear compatible with mods. I think the problem is that droids have two core, two parts, and two motor gear slots instead of all different. The best way to change this is to change the gear slots to primary / secondary core / parts / motors (or some other distinction). That way you could easily have parallel gear slots (primary core - chest, secondary motor - boots, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whailor Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I agree, this is a stupid issue. I have some old operations armors I don't use but I could upgrade my droids on all of my chars, IF these dang armorings could be fitted. Yet another example of BW's "skilled coding"...

Chaosick Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 i hate meatbags myself and would like to make R8 superior to ghoulboy, even without the weapon ive been able to boost R8 significantly, yeah mando and assassin set are nice, but i want a healing droid set! i love that frail piece of scrap metal, and also, a pink custom for R8 would be more suitable to his non-combatant state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadOrb Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I was going to give M1-FX my old tionese armoring mods ( 2 of them ) and give 2 makeb armoring mods to my commando , so after taking them out and replacing them in my gloves and boots on my commando. I then couldn't place those 2 armoring mods into m1-fx and also couldn't even place in the 2 makeb armoring mods as I had placed them into the 2 empty slots on my commando. All 4 mods are now bound 2 to gloves and 2 to feet. Please reconsider this. Cheers, BadOrb. Edited April 11, 2013 by BadOrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_man_ Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Galactic senate has already made a mistake with droid rights bill, droids rebelled (not sureif it was M0-T0 who started this), guess BW are too afraid to make the same mistake.

Magnusheart Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree. It wouldnt be hard for them to make the restrictions classified like: Reflex Armoring 50Chest, Processor Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
