Thread: CL 10 Creatures Still too much
Ok folks, be nice to Tal, he is just passing the message....
I think SOE is still trying find out what is the 'balance' point. This will of course take a while, you can still see some 'balancing works' being done for EQ, LOL.
It all amounts to the designers (not the crafting but the combat designers) have no clue where to put their stake in the ground and say 'ok, this is our base point and all dmg, resists start here'. I think the dev has very little to do with this. This is the main issue of differnt profession crying being nerfed or too powerful...
I would not expect SOE gonna give us an answer until they gota clue on where is the basis point, even if they do, they gonna change it again if they mess it up again.....i think its gonna be a while.
"Yes, please explain to the Bio Engineers that it is a known issue that level 10 pets are still being made too powerful and will be addressed at some point in the future. Currently "legal" pets will remain in the system until this bug is fixed. After the fix they will fall into the broken pet checks and will be able to be corrected via the broken pet interface."
On top of everything else this is also a problem, the stats of the original uber pets couldn't be lowered to keep them non-ch.
Perhaps the devs will make a working pet interface that does the job this time around.
OK, I'll repeat myself...
Current probots have 800+ HAM, medium armor, and 40% resists which is equal to about 5000 HAM unarmored. The pre-nerf ones that are still around have 2 or 3 times the HAM.
Exactly how is a 4K/2K/2K critter unbalanced?
Other than ease of healing and buffability, how are non-CH pets useful, let alone broken? And this situation will worsen when the new and improved droids come out.
Which is why I don't make non-CH pets anymore.

Add to that publish 7 is bringing in new and better combat droids as well as droid damage repair kits (presumably droid stims) and we're out of business for the non-ch market

I agree with others that a statement like you make here does more harm than good. It does us no good to know that "some pets have unbalanced stats" unless there is also a guideline to back this up. Frankly, I'm dissappointed that you had this type of conversation with the developer and didn't touch on this issue as this is clearly one of the hottest issues in this profession right now.
I understand and agree withthis sentiment, and I want the answer as much as you do. I simply haven't been given it yet. I would like to point out to people thatthese pets are not invalid. They are actually legal within the current system and they won't be going poof when they grow up. They are just stronger than intended. It's likely going to be months before another change is made and none of these will change until then. I know this isn't an answer that'sgoing to make anyone happy, but I couldn't see holding the information and not telling you guys in hopes of the rest of the answer.
I'm not going to wait months for the BE dev to get his head out and fix things. I'll be making CL10 animals just like I always have. Besides, in a number of months some people won't even be playing the game anymore. I can't believe that after nearly a year the BE profession is still being "fixed." For me its business as usual.
I do appreciate you keeping us up to date
/applaud
well said tevys
I don't understand why this cannot be fixed and has to be an ongoing issue, we are already becoming the laughing stock of professions, love how this new BE system was supposed to be a GOOD thing
