I had a guy today wanted to contract with me to make 9 CL9 pets with 7K health, 48% resists, and strong poison attack.. said another Master BE told him it was very easy to make them and he was trying to contract with several Master BEs to supply his whole guild with pets

AAAAAAARGH!

I fear the impending nerf is going to hit our correctly crafted pets very hard but this kind of unscrupulous activity by other BE's is really going to be the ruin of the new cloning system I fear.

Someone actually went to my vendor and gave me a tell complaining about my weak pets and prices. Turns out he bought 2 lvl10 7K HAM, 45% resist critters off the bazaar at 3K a piece!!!

I don't sell any pets that I feel are too far out of spec (though i give them to guildies to play with as long as they don't sell them). I've made some of those uber nonCH pets for kicks and it is WAY to easy and so clearly unintended. The system is fun though so i pray that it doesn't get made into cookie cutter crafting. BE right now is the only truly creative crafting prof there is so I hope they get it to work out!

I parade Aurora my CL5 super gurrcat around town all the time. It's amusing watching peoples reactions and it's shocking when they said they didn't realise there was a problem with the system. Some of them ask "so whats wrong with that" I then just say look around and tell me what the point of being a CH is when I have this. They quickly agree it needs to be stopped I think people are panicing far too much, they're not going to rip out the current crafting system and give us the old one back. That would be more effort than fixing the problem so its simply not going to happen.

Okay, I admit to keeping a lvl 8 veermok named MrPeepers made out of third generation Death's Head DNA, heh. I do the same thing, Tal-N... use it for an example as to why a mad scientist's power is a bit amok right now. MrPeepers is good for chasing down the unsuspecting Imperial though .

I've had people ask me for an uber pet too since they've seen them around. I tell them its a bug and that I don't sell them simply because I don't want them back as angry customers when they get fixed, not to mention that its an exploit. I've turned a few people away because of that, but I've also have some people buy legit non-CH creatures.

I'm thinking of just getting out of that non-CH market altogether. Getting the DNA to make that stuff is time I could be spending doing other things.

**edit** skippy. if yer not a ch, you should be stuck with garbage.

one problem with that statment. Folks are used to having level 14 pets as non ch pets (aka forrest slice hounds, armored rock beetles, etc) now with the changes in lightly armored creatures, the new rules on non ch creature level and the wealth of uber non ch pets out there, of course people want something a bit better than an 1k ham freaking carrion spat.

On the other hand, any creature of level 10 or less with more than 3k ham should be immediatly deleted.

(because I dont know how to make the uber non ch pets, or I would be useing one myself)

hiya all! ive been selling a good amount of cl 7 to cl 10 pets made with plain ole piket dna and using any really low lvl dna in mental and psyche like corellian butterfly, gorg etc. using hq dna the best ive done is about 4 to 5k health and 2 to 3k action and mind, 24% kinetic is the highest ive gotten, dmg around 110 to 130. (high end)

i havent read anything saying that piket dna is bugged, so ive been using this combo. i just put in a mesage saying ill even trade it for another pet if the pet gets changed or is unusable when they fix the current probs. i also list what i used to make the pet so the buyer know what hes getting.

hoping this eliminates any problems with customers if any changes are made. so far i had nothing but good comments bout the pets performance, and ppl seem to be happy with em. from my end, im getting way more requests for these kinds of pets than i am for the 10kham ones, which i havent even tried to make.

be safe all!

hell yeah they are. one guy pulled out his pet for me. i examined it and saw CL1! 10K/8K/10K light armor, 60% resists to kin.

when i asked how was it only cl1 he put it up and walked away. lol.

this was the 4th one i've seen now. i've given up master scout so i have no clue what the cl's are now.

That wasn't an uber non-ch pet, it's a bug. Anytime i examine a BE'd creature as a master scout, i see cl 1 even on kimos. 60% resists to kin, light armor is impossible for a non-ch pet.

What exactly is a legit non-CH pet anymore? I don't think anyone knows. Can a BE make a non-CH better than a tamed wild creature? Or are we stuck with the garbage less than lvl 10's out in the wild now?

chaoskiller has got it right, the examine seems to be fubared when it comes to BE pets. I'm a master Ranger and if I examine my pets I can't tell anything from the stats (it just comes up with junk). When I look in the datapad it shows the correct stats and the true CL level.

I wouldn't bother using the examine option on BE pets at the moment, it's unreliable. Shame as it would be cool to see what other poeple are coming up with on your server
