*coughs politely*
I am extremely interested in what you were able to find out about the Tech Haven security bots.
I suppose it is no real secret when I admit that I killed them basically for a living, from lvl 30 to lvl 55, at a hidden location within Techhaven. I stopped long ago, there being no need/desire to continue, but I was always concerned that the bots were simply so wimpy that even a significant upgrade to them would be ineffective against... well, against people who trained in a certain way.
What damage type do they do now? It seems to me that it must still be force damage, as it flung the body all the way down the hall, and a large physical push is in the game a property mostly of force damage weapons.
And are the new hallway turrets inside TH the same as the turrets outside TH? And if so, are they still force damage? Although their weapon appeared to be a beam previously, it was, I assure you, pure force damage, which is why they pushed people off cliffs, etc. They were _great_ potential support weapons for outside battles because theyd throw people down into ravines, etc, but inside TH, I believe their defense may need an upgrade.
PS: These turrets and bots, doing force damage, previously, were an utter disaster for any monk, which is good, as there are a lot of monks, but as a tank, especially a melee tank who had spare str to stick in resist force skill, the lvl 100 bots could not actually do damage faster than I could medkit it back, allowing me to stand in front of it all day long to raise my con. Thats something we ought to make sure is no longer possible.
.... it hurts, giving up my secrets.
