I took CH not even knowing it was overpowered but yes I found out it was after I started playing it for a week and it did need toned down but I do have one problem well 2.

1st I took CH cause I like ferocious animals and it sounded so fun to have something like a Tusk cat and ripping into other animals with it, but now my plains hunter tusk cat that is 8000(9000) almost full grown will be reduced to 700(2500)HP after the nerf, how in gods name am I even suposed to use it against its own class ? I mean a Plains tusk cat that isnt tamed will be 9k HAM adn the second I tame it it piddles in its pants and becomes a house cat. Whats that all about ?

2nd The death thing isnt bad at all because if you die and they get DBed they will respawn with you. But the fact that warping and LDing is still so high I think it is a bad idea to put that in,If the master of the pet is to far away the animal is auto released or if the pet is lost by the master it is auot released !!!

SOE I really hope you dont do to me what you did to me in EQ or I will be really P@U

Thanks have a nice day

Where did you get those numbers?

from 7k ham to 2.5 is a huge nerf, is it really that bad?

I cant see them doing it that much, its obserd.

They should still have the sam HAM, i dont understand why they are doing this. Its killing this profession.

If they do that, then reduce the HAM on all creatures out there, its the same thing.

/sigh

Check out my post. I did a cut and past of Raph's comments about HAM put them all in one place.

I personally have always thought we shouldve been able to make our own droids,but since there were droid vendors i figured ..no big deal..now it is a big deal.I mean every other class that has objects that are major for their advancement can make them,example:musicians can make their instruments and scouts can make their traps and camps.This really takes alot out of bounty hunters.I mean we are suppose to be the class that defines "solo",and yet we cant even do our missions without help(buying the droids from de)I mean i find it hard to believe that we,being master scouts,cant track for **edit**.Investigation..what does that mean..that we get droids to find our marks for us..how is that investigation.What happened to asking around,getting last known location,getting updates from contacts we have in the underground,using what we know about the marks to figure out where they should go.example:where they lived before they killed rodian children or helped a cow out of a ditch on the sabbath or someone owes them money and its cheaper for us to kill them(yes kill them because there is no other way..but thats another post).I mean what the hell does it mean to be a bounty hunter..cant joe blow de that makes these droids use them to find our marks and steal our bounties if thats all it takes to find the targets.I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE MISSIONS BEING HARD..I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT PART...but for the thrill of the hunt i sure as hell want more then ..YES ive got a seeker droid now i can find my target and deal with him.The hell with that..we are master scouts that use none of our scout skills..we are master marksman who dont even use one of the weapons we are specialist with.Ive got so more to say...but i hate coming off as if im flaming something or someone...most of the changes that came with this patch i like..but this has been brewing for awhile and the droid things just blew it up for me =) thx for reading if you made it this far.

I have read a lot on these forums but never posted much has you can see, but I think that trying SO HARD to open up this so called Force Slot is probably not what the DEV's intended. They want you to play the game to enjoy it. They want you tofind your place in the Star Wars universe and have fun. I say just go out, enjoy the game, and have some fun. Find a profession that you love to play an stick with it instead of beating your brains out over trying to open this slot.

Thats probably all I have to say for a long time to come.

P.S. Just enjoy the game

I whole heartedly agree, im mean there is undoughtedly like a million hard core gamers that dedicated their entire lives (how sad) to trying to figure this out. As you can obviously see, there is still no Jedi, no FS slots opened, nor will there ever be for a long time to come. DEV's have stated that opening the FS slot isnt the same for everyone. So its highly unlikely that we will figure it out anyways. Whats more likely, is that you will (if your one of the lucky chosen few) just stumble upon it one day and just crap your pants...So just play as you would any other game, and just have fun. Jedi will come, just probably not like everyone is hoping for...

See this is the funny part. I have read some dev quotes and they said that if you want it you must adapt your playstyle and actually want it and go for it. So if you are just leisurely playing chances are you probably won' come across it. They have actually said that most players will not be able to adapt and change there playstyles, and that is what they want. For people to fail. So go on out and do your best to unlocking it, just make sure you have fun while doing it.

I have been just "playing" the game for a few months now and just recently i "changed" my play style alot! instead of crafting staying in my player city and just shooting at lots of local stuff and doing only terminal missions i now do many many npc missions instead and also look for other things that are interesting when i started to do this i saw more and more things related the force.

I think a Master BE should be able to control there own pets. I mean we grinded the way to the top of a difficult to master profession we should be able to know enough about the pets to control them.

Not really... do you think the people who manufacture(no not NASA, the actual people who build it on the assembly line)the Space Shuttle know how to fly it?? I think it would be nice to be able to do that sure... But thats why I too also have CH as a skill....

I could see Attack and Follow but nothing more then that.

No, we shouldn't be able to control the pets. We're not a combat profession so stop asking cause we've heard it before and it's not gonna happen.

Well then, I guess by your system, weapon smiths should have certs for all the weapons they can build, sorry, not gonna happen you can be a MCH and a MBE if you wanna control them, that is the route. They already took our pets and gave them to everyone, they shouldn't give anyone anything else without some skill investment. you wanna teach attack and follow, become a novice CH.
