Actually, I think it highly likely that there is more of the same to come. There are two changes, one finished and the other impending, that will make certainly not make things any better and may make things worse. First is the lower mission payouts, and second is the impending increases in decay rates of weapons, armor and clothing. In general, I believe the lower payouts willmake tippingworse even for those who believe in tipping at all.I also suspect that tipping tends to come mostly from those who are conscientious or who have excess cash. While I think that higher level players will still enjoy a pretty good income, the players who are coming into the local cantinas are going to be impacted by this. You canalso expect thatanyone who must decide to tip entertainers or replace weapons, armor or clothes will (quite rightly) decide that entertainers come in a distant second. There simply is no benefit that players get from tipping that counts as much for them as the tools of their trade. That does not even factor in the additional expensefor entertainersof replacing theircostumes.

Hi


Dewbacks are a ch pet only. They can only be transferred to another ch if you have management 4 but a non-ch won't be able to use them. Even if you made a substandard dewback, I still don't think you could sell it to a non-ch.

Dewbacks are CL18 I believe. If he wants something different than a bantha, offer a Kahmurra or a Gualama (I recommend Gualamas to my customerssince they have light armor).

I was under the impression that they did but I can't confirm it since I don't have the req'd scout/ranger abilities.

I may have made the wrong creatuere but I think it was removed. You can check to see if they have armor by looking in the examine window. You don't need master scout or anything for that.

be Gualamas still have light armor.


Dewbacks have always been CL18, and no dewback can be used by a non-CH (nor has it ever been possible). When considering 'low level', they have to be /significantly/ low level to be usable by non-CHs (and with our pet creations, that low a level creation is usually laughed at by potential customers. Gualamas and kahmurras if I'm remembering right are about the limit of 'strong' BE creations that non-CHs can use).

I recommend spending some time reading this forum or experimenting with the BE schematics some more. You might be a Master Bio Engineer, but you obviously have no idea how the class works.

Guf Drolg are by far the best tanks but they aren't 100% reliable, the crux of their power relies on them hitting the enemy with intimidation. When you get then is one seriously solid pet which has 35% melee resistance around 2000 ham and with intimidation ineffect the enemy causes 1/3 of their normal damage. After all of the resistances are taken into consideration you end up with that 2000 HAM effectively being multiplied by around x5. And no gualama no longer have armour.

"Ok listen Beery.. guess you haven't worked yer tail off to become a Master Dancer."


Actually, I did. I am currently a Master Dancer and I was at the keyboard for 95% of the time I spent getting the title. I'm not sure what motivated the rest of your angry rant, but CALM DOWN.

"how do you know they are not tipping some one else and not watching you?"


I'm often the only dancer in a cantina - I go to the smaller places because I'm tired of the AFKers in Coronet. I'd say that 90% of the people in these smaller places don't tip or even say 'thank you' for the heals I give. They heal and then they just run. That's why I'm annoyed at the situation.
