Thread: Get ready to bend over and be backshafted again folks (lesser mount species)

Let me try this in English now...
It's sad when you're a master BE and your favorite mount is a giant carrion spat.
On the plus side, we can make 6 different mounts by sampling from chubas and gnorts. If you think about it, we have an unlimited supply of material to make as many mounts as we like without going far from town. We also can store mounts in our packs, in our houses, in our factories....
How many wild pets can a CH hold?
Yes we can have 100s of deeds. The drawback to that is they do us very little good in deed format as they don't grow, etc. Only the Kaadu/Spat that we make can be sold to a non-ch. Every other animal is CH only. While I have done decent in kaadu/spat sales many people are now asking for bol, dewback, etc. in NON-CH form. If your not a be/ch you are screwed. And like it was mentioned - there isn't one mount we can make that as soon as you tame it you can ride it. Now with a 7th mount a ch found only that just adds insult to injury.
"I can't keep up with mount sales! And I sold over 7 million in mounts the day they were released! I'm seeing an overwelming demand for my products!"
Because if it was just about the money, I'd have retired before you were a Novice.
Some of us want to have some purpose other than sampling 5 gnorts, throwing them into slots randomly, clicking combine, calling it a mount, and drooling over the 150k.
LOL!
Sorry but I can't help but laugh anymore. The only BE's that will remain are those poor slobs told to master this profession by a blue cube.
Lets see on my server I made ~100 deeds in preperation for mounts going live for the 100 non-ch's I have in my guild.The patch went live. I immediatly gave away the 3 mounts I had in my datapad to guild mates. I over the course of the next4 days, Imanaged to give away ~20 deeds to guild mates for FREE. The other 80 areon my vendernow because guild mates weren't interested in them if they weren't mountable same day. Didn't matter that it was a FREE mount and that I'd mount train it when grown. If it wasn't same day mountable they weren't interested. The other BE in my guild had the same experience. The market on my server seems to be almost exclusively for same day mountable pets. I've managed to sell 2 of those pets from the vendor. In the same time period I've sold 3 crates of pet stims.

Again Mirrl, you really know what your talking about.
Once again the Master Bio Engineer is relegated to being a Vetrinarian. I cannot keep up with the number of requests for crates of pet stims. In fact, I have made my fortune in pet stims and only a small amount of extra cash making the occassional rancor.
The only other product that is slightly in demand is the tensile resistance.
But the pet stim's rule the day. I cannot keep my factories running fast enough nor gather the Dathomir Insect Meat quick enough to keep up with the incredible demand. This is exactly the reason I became a Bio Engineer. To be a mass producer of pet medicine using a factory.
I think NOT!

The day I hit Master was the day alot of the reason to play my bio-eng character started to subside.. the day I hit my first million and had maintaince for by 3 buildings paid up for 2 months was the day all of the other motivation to play as a BE went away. If money and seeing the cash roll in is all you need to be happy then fine, although most of us aren't that shallow.

as many as you care to purchase from a master be 
with a backpack on, you can hold 110 +your 16 in data pad.
angel.
I'd wish I was on your server Muff... the 2316 CH's running around with kaadus, spats, giant spats, lesser dewbacks, lesser bols..etc..have about destroyed any market for BE's... I am selling my mounts for 12K-18K max...and getting ever closer to burning SOE to the ground!!
It would have been quite a bit better to give the deeds to BE's, and make the non-BE ones CH only.
I wonder why SOE did this, and I'm a CH. I have no use for a lvl 10 falumpaset, other than it was an easy catch. I'd much rather get a ... uh... savage humumba?
Let the Ch dabblerssell their dewbacks though, people will go insane over the constant mewling fast enough =)
I really wonder how hard it would have been to make these deeds to construct for the BE assigned dev... few clicks of a button, a few numbers here...
just read the other thread that relates to this, and I guess the reason they didn't give new deeds, was because the new cloning procedures will make it unnessisary.
So I guess they should have just not released the lesser varieties as babies, and made people stick with kaduu. That probably would have been best(and easier on my ears in town)
exactly. The money pursuit kept me going for a long time.Only reason I was saving all this cash was for the future but if they dont fix this class soon, theres not gonna be one for me. Im reaching my end.
I dont mean just clone either. They need to scrap the entire tissue line cept for pet stims and start over. Merge DNA sampling and its skill mods in with the clone line and give us another line of cool stuff to make. I could go on and on about what kind of stuff could be done to make this class better. Until I see somebody actually cares about fixing this class, theres no point to give anymore ideas. I think most of the people here and other professions boardsare tired of posting their "top 5 issues" with their classes. It's gone beyond that....I agree with taln and the rest of these guys...period. I'm tired of it.
Just seems there is a lot of "talk" but nothing ever gets done. Its not a month after release...were going into the 6th month now. Their problem is, is they think content is gonna save this game and thats true, but neglecting professions like they have inthis game is outright sad. Even though the ch has had many nerfs....they still have gotten 90% of the changes of every patch since June 26th when it comes to class changes. They have **edit** near redefined the CH at least 3 times now and are doing it again! Meanwhile, heres BE, DE, chef in the same **edit** shape they were in on june 26th. Has anybody ever really looked at the chef class and seen how pathetic it is? I cant even believe they released this game with classes THIS broken. Not bugs and fixes but classes that need a total REHAUL.
Why cant we have patch notes like the ones they put out during the last days of beta where it was scrolls of fixes? I'll tell you why, cause half the team is working on other projects now. Space exp and eq 2. Its obvious by the lack of real patches in this game since june 26th.
Tal-N, you are getting more caustic, but I agree with you as I usually do. Money? I have gobs. But I as a millionaire before I was a Master. Up to that point, I had lost money on BE.
I have a Master CH friend who I give all the pets to him he wants. Of his 16 pets, one is a BE. I understand though. Out of my 10 pets only one is a BE pet.
CH's look at our inferior pets, buy the pet stims and move on. Unfortunately, we can not even make good pet stims without the assistance of a Doctor by obtaining a pointless schematic for the subcomponents.
