::giggles:: actually, it still is silly.

" Note this doesn't end the bug, it just passes the bug. The only known fix is a server reset. "

I haven't tried the fix before, I've always just moved on with my life. But it seems to me thattrying this, and then going back to the normal way won't work, you'd have to use the trick every time until server reset. And if the trick to 'bypass' the bug (since it will not fix the bug) does not work, the only other choice is to wait until server reset if you want to work on the same individual. ( yourself or whoever has the bug )

I've been reading and reading posts now that I've made master bio engineer looking for suggestions/hints for creature building. I keep thinking I'm missing something though.....The majority of the posts say: "I put XXX dna in the first slot, XXX dna in the second slot"...etc. Ok....can someone clue me in to which slots are what?

I would think that slot 1 is Physique. What is usually considered slot 2? Prowess or Psychological? Slot 3? Slot 4? Slot 5?

I would appreciate the pointers =]

Thank you for any help anyone can provide.

It's just one of those things that I don't think have any real reason. Personally, I think it should be a lower level function but most of the upper level commands aren't real useful so maybe they kept it high for incentive.

Because of mount speed, they're not much of an issue right now. (though that may be fixed somewhere along according to notes from fanfest). You can usually find an MCH to train a mount for you in any case.

Management gives you group and the ability to call 2 pets (mgmt 3). That's another mixed blessing since the pets can only add up to your max level of pets.

I still recommend training since that gives you the most pet storage. You can get a good mix of tamed and BE pets in your datapad.

I think it is to discourage the dabblers. The BE's could "corner" what little market there is by selling more advnaced creatures and then being able to train them as mounts. Granted this is not impossible to accomplish now but it does take a lot of SP's to do BE, a little CH, and maybe a combat class. I think it is a discouragement and an incentive for CH's to advance in the prof.

Of course that is my opinion.

Originally it was place there as that is where transfer was. Transfer was placed there to show that a CH had the ability to have a creature trust them so much as to allow them to go to another player and obey them without question knowing they will never be under their original master again. It is a trust issue.

However with CL 10 and under creatures being tradeable without the transfer command, and the transfer command in general not working, it doesn't fall under its original objective of being a trust issue.

Pets were supposed to be CH only with the exception of mounts. Then (my theory) mounts were moved back from launch but the code to allow non CH to have pets was still in the game (as non CH were getting XP with their pets even though they didn't have any CH skills.) This leftover code allowed for everyone to have a pet and a large aggressive pet at that (Rancor, Giant Crystal Snakes...) At that time pets were able to be traded even though they didn't have the transfer command trained to them (same as current system). So .... I will stop here.

Basically they gave it higher up in the box in order to give reason to people to pursue higher levels and eventually Master the profession.
