I haven't noticed this until after Pub 7 - maybe it was there before, but I just bought a couple new BE pets, so it became obvious to me right away this time: when you look at their control devices in your datapad, the attack damages don't appear at all! I seem to recall something else was missing, just can't think of it now.
So is this a new bug? Or an old one which didn't get fixed? I checked another BE pet I'd purchased a long time ago, before Pub 7, and it has the same problem. And I *know* I'd seenthat pet's attack damage displayed before.

I noticed the same thing.
And ... It seems to me that the other thing was either the attack rate or the to hit mod. Could be wrong.

I am a MCH and have only owned one BE pet up until Pub 7. After the Pub, I purchased a couple new BE animals. Now, I haven't noticed this bug at all before - maybe it appeared before the pub, butafter I tamed these new pets,I noticed thattheir control devices in my datapad do not show their attack damages! I seem to recall something else was missing, just can't think of it now. This problem does not affect my naturally tamed pets, they all show their damages, as they always had before.
So is this a new bug? Or an old one which didn't get fixed? Are BEs aware of this? I checked my older BE pet I'd purchased a long time ago, before Pub 7, and it has the same problem. And I *know* I'd seenthat pet's attack damage displayed before.

Well, good, I'm glad I got confirmations, both here and in the Creature Handler forum. It's an annoying bug as hell, since I bought the pets because of their nice attacks!
Well I hope the BE correspondent here will make sure to report this new bug to TH when the time comes.

thanks goodness.... now if they could just fix the information reporting wrong on /examine of BE pets, I would be a happy Ranger CH.

Yeah.... BTW, Talth.... could you please report again that the BE pets are still displaying the wrong dmg and special attacks when /examined also?
A BE pet will always report 30-40 dmg and no special attacks on /examine, no matter what the real stats are. (I am a master Ranger by the way.)

i have also noticed that when healing my BE pets, the message comes up 'you have healed [your pet name here] for 840 Health, 910 Action, and 480 Mind damage' BUT the HAM bars do not refill at all, unless i make the pet do a trick or store it and call it out again

I checked the ranger forum and found out that it was a bug and that it should have been removed in pub 7. This is total BS cause wild pets still display the info. Seeing damage on animals is supposed to be a Master Ranger skill. But that totally hampers CHs and BEs since we cant see the full stats of our pets.

That's a known problem with mounts.... do you have the problem on any BE pets that are not mounts?
