1) Will my current BE'd pets be affected by the patch?

2) When you choosea skin fora pet, does that automatically add in that particular animal's specials?

3) If the answer to 2 is no, do you get to pick and choose which specials the creature gets, or are you limited to the specials which that particular creature has in the wild?

4) I would assume that adding specials increases the CL (If the specials don't come stock), but could you confirm this for me?

Thanks

1. not sure, don't know if they will strip the armor on lower creaturesor not

2. in the old system yes, in the new system, no

3. in the new system specials, and just about everything else,are determined by the DNA, we haven't been able to test it yet since it's not completely implemented on test yet

4. I would assume so too, but I can't confirm

Will my current BE'd pets be affected by the patch?

Every mob in the world has been effected, that includes the pets in the datapad. I looked at some clones in the TC at the moment and they don't show the new stats when you examine the deeds so thats a little worrying. Since the CL rating system appears to now evaluate a critter rather than actually storing a CL rating beside an entry in the database it's possible we'll see some variation in the CL between poorly made clones and well made ones.

When you choosea skin fora pet, does that automatically add in that particular animal's specials?

No, the specials are something we add seperately, we can in effect give a bantha any pair of attacks in the game if we wanted to. Even the cool ones like the combo strike which merek harvesters have or the Open Wounds special from Enraged Rancor. Or both at the same time since animals can have two.

I would assume that adding specials increases the CL (If the specials don't come stock), but could you confirm this for me?

Currently there is a bug that prevents us from even making a clone so we dunno for sure, I'd hazard a guess and say yes though as some specials only appear on more powerful species in the wild.

Thanks for the info. I know about the BE situation on TC atm *home for the holidays been reading just about every thread that would apply to my char*, but I figured you'd certainly have a better understanding of the proposed changes than I did.

Thanks again
