yea they were mighty Uber and rediculous pets.

Just to throw in a pointless defense, she didn't start CH untill these came out and saw the cool power of pets.

but anyway, I was a MCH, didn't mind the creatures reworkings of december too much, but it did drive me to take up some new professions and have some change to enjoy the game a different way again. Know why i didn't mind the December Patch? Cause it was talked about pleeeeennntyy before it happened. Gimme me CL1 kitty gift package SOE!

Berlappen:
If anything i want a free little gurrcat lvl 1, 0% resist, special1: death blow self, Special2: /lick as a gift from devs



LOL, I love that special one! I would tip someone to see their pet do that trick. The closest thing to that would be a Bothan Carbineer I know. =)


I believe disabling the pets without warning was the wrong move. They could have left them in till they found a compensation, I don't think they were imbalancing the game considerably. I'm no mathemetician but to come up with a level based on HAM, resists and damage is such a simple equation I have to laugh at the situation.


I'm interested to see if they come up with a real solution. I remember the pet tradein program, lol. I turned in a cute little white jax kitty and in return got a big ugly gray sludge panther. "Your pet stays your favorite pet." LOL

(I didn't sell these pets because I knew it was something that would come back to haunt me if I did. I was asked plenty of times to make them but each time I said no.)


You said No because you didnt take the time to learn how to make them using DNA that wasnt tainted. I was asked several times to make Pets using Nox DNA and did not. However I have pets now that cannot be called and they were made using DNA I thought was Ok to use. Please take your Im better than you attitude out the door.

Lol thanks for the 1 star on all my posts, that really hurts ya know :/ ()

But any case there is no defending these pets, they were bugged and now rendered useless. As a CH you should have felt disgusted by these pets (Like I said) as a nonCH would weild them. I don't care if you took up CH after these pets came around, it's your character template, but the point was, you didn't need CH to use these so that is why they are dubbed "invalid".

There is nothing from stopping you from picking up a pet that has similar stats but at the correct CL to use. Which in this case would be pretty high up on the CH tree.

My main point about her was she was just saying the other day how great these are.. now she's making a big fuss over how SOE handled this, even though there was plenty of people who stated they would not be usable after SOE patched.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts, but get over it. SOE is not going to put these pets back in action and most likely your not gonna get your $$ back for it. [Virtual $$ at that].

The people that actually play Bio-Engineers are trying to make the class enjoyable, but not to the point where we will get nerfed to hell. We lived in the shadows too long to let some bug and a bunch of complainers put us back to square one.

The people who drop BE because of this fix are the ones who really have no idea of how badly broken the BE profession was and most of them are just Holo grinders who stumbled upon the profession at the right time.

Berl.. i wasn't attacking your original comment, I was just merely pointing out that as a CH you should have known something wasn't right with these.

Actually frome the post last night they ARE going to put these pets back in action by Saturday on a temporary basis until the next publish.


The fix is limiting the calling of pets that it isn't supposed to limit evidently, and on top of that the fix in the next publish will have a system to turn that invalid stat pet into a legal one, I assume by dropping the illegal stats to legal limits, allowing it to still probably be the best non CH pet available.


Then again they still haven't said exactly what valid stats are, and what their real intent is, and evidently the folks with pre christmas patch CL 50 pets can still call them as non CH's which is a lot worse than the uber pets are.

Just a mild reminder that it was onece 'common sense' that humans could not fly. Fortunatly a few of us were NOT blessed with this amazing book in our heads.

I can see the problem.


If yourCL 64 had the same stats as a CL 2, even a "super10" CL2, then it sure isn't "the best you can make"
