Тады пущай разрешают всем прочим надевать робы-клоки ихние:) А потом и экспертизу с абилками можно будет всем одинаковые... И наступит щастье. Да, еще и зомби будут, вот круть-то! Что-то пропадает потихонечку желание играть в СВГ.

Тут все ясно - армор нужен как бы для кастомайза (сделали видимо с оглядкой на то, что протезы под робу совсем одеваться не хотят).

Если армор можно будет "пихнуть" не только в appearance, то получается интересный нюанс - можно "выкинуть" 2 piece bonus (роба+пояс), которым все равно мало кто пользуется, и напялить армор. Получим:

1. 3 экзотика (вместо 2-х + 3 постоянных стата на "папских" робах);
2. 9х35 стандартных аттачей (вместо общих 4-х статов на робах, по 135 каждый + 4х35 аттача с общими статами на шмотках);
3. понижение/повышение армор рейтинга вместо стандартных "все по 6500" (зависит от личных предпочтений кстати);
4. возможность подбора резистов по типу армора;
5. кастомайзинг (если под робу можно будет напялить армор чест, конфигурируя основной и appearance-виды, то все фаны КО/SW-ТОРа просто уписаются от счастья).

ПыСы Осталось только убрать restrictions на мандо :lol: и можно канселить акк :D

Погодите кэнселить, надо еще новых дроидов испытать :)

Да все равно они 60 лвл будут у комбат чаров, как и старые.

Разве? а вроде были 90 на скринах...

Это у трейдеров. Как только дроида достанет комбат-чар 90, дроид сконвертится в 60 лвл, ибо нех. :)

Non-traders have a maximum droid level of 60, when they call their droid. This is due to not being able to fully control the droid to its maximum potential.

вот собственно

Тююю... я то думал, что они дроидов сделали для усиления малых групп :(

бугагага :) Только для усиления малых трейдеров

PS. Опаньки! В игре появилась рука Терминатора. Не иначе скоро Скайнет запустит ядерные ракеты...

И неплохое усиление кстати :)
Вложение 97410

Сделал мне Widar magna guard'а (IG-100). Короче, всех боевых дроидов нужно переделывать - у них тогда задницы чуть потолще будут. Сам guard в два раза выше моего чара (где-то такого же роста как и SBD, а может даже и выше). В руках у него весло, которое нифига на електропалку не похоже. Модель ужасная, анимация тоже. По сравнению со старыми бэтлами выглядит хреново.

ПыСы Все плохо, SOE халтурщики.
