Thread: I don't want Non-CH's to have 4K HAM, Non-CH Pets...NO!, NO!, NO!
So, your saying that as a Bio-Engineer we should accept that our crafting system can make broken pets? That the Crafting code cannot make the right call on how powerful a creation is? That we have to rely on a second, just as buggy, set of code to double-check that the crafting system didn't mess up?
In that light, I would love to see Weaponsmiths, Armorsmiths, Tailors, Chefs, Architects andArtisans (and any other crafting profession) get a good chance to have any item they craft give them a message saying
"THE ITEM YOU JUST CREATED IS INVALID. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND LOSS OF RESOURCES. IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT AND NOT THE BROKEN CRAFTING SYSTEM. HAVE A NICE DAY!"
Actually the message would read "The item you've created is invalid due to the inability of the crafting system do determine the correct parameters. Suck it up and quit whining."
You do realize that many CL10 animals with 2K HAM were declared invalid and many CL10 animals with 6K HAM or higher work just fine right? What you call whining I call asking for a working system. I mean I am paying to play a game. I'd like that game to work correctly. If that's whining then so be it. Suck that up why don't ya.
Why do I feed trolls... I dunno.
Here's how I look at it. Is a 14K HAM CL70 Kimogila with light armor and 60% kinetic resists valid? Because if it is thats 70k effective HAM vs kinetic. Divide effective HAM by CL and you get 1k HAM/CL so a CL10 should be able to have 10k effective kintetic HAM.
You call a 4k HAM CL10 "uber". Even with 50% kinetic resists thats only 8k kin HAM. I have a good number of CL 30's that have over 50k effective kinetic ham, the two I normally use to tank are both 55k, so thats 110k effective kinetic HAM between me and whatever is trying to harm me. If you're worried about non-CHs being able to tank durnis then yes, something needs to be done. Me, I'm not worried.
First of all, I agree that if someone wants a usefull pet, they should be a CH, atleast partly. Giving non-CHs good pets is unfair to CH and its not good for the game combat balance either.
And if you get so damn anoyed by doing pets that just ends up just above lvl 10 or is invalid for some other buggy reason, there is a very easy way to avoid it. DON'T do non-CH pets, focus on making good pets for CHs instead.
And dont give me any crap about money. Most BE sell their stuff to cheap considering what they could get if they focused on things, and also its way too easy to get more money than you will even use. Heck, just a couple of millions is more than you will ever use since there aint even any skill tapes for BEs anyway.
Some people freak out when they see my prices on my pets, but I dont care. I only do top of the line pets as good as they are possible to make, and I take alot of cash for them. If you want "normal" pets, go to anyone and buy it a bit cheaper than with me, but I always keep alot of pets on my vendors, and I constantly make new ones and test out different things aswell.
JFYI, when calculating my prices I take about 150k or sofor a MR DNA, and the most expensive pets I've had went for 800k (from my vendor). And I sell a couple 500k-800k pets every week, so sure, I might be expensive, but obviously not too expensive.
But if someone rather wants to do ten CL10 and sell for 20k each, be my guest, but I personally find that its anoying as hell to just do tedious things like that with no risk and even no time spent to look for the creatures/combos you need. And ofcourse, I dislike non-CH pets just for the reason that its a non-CH its for anyway.
Oh, and the comparison with the 14K HAM, CL70 Kimo was just silly. Come on, even you who wrote it must know that. Why not compare it to a lvl 26 pet I have with 11K HAM, Light Armour and 60% Kinetic, and try to tell everyone what those CL10s should be like....

Just keep in mind, the "pet check" applies to all BE animals not just CL10. You can make an animal at any level that may or may not be valid.
You can't trust the creature level on the deed anymore. Customers will come to realize this pretty quick when they buy deeds off of vendors.
Please ignore this one, he obviously has not been paying attention to any of our arguments.
I have not seen any post on this board that claims that we want uber cl10s.
Bendi,
So I guess before the "BE publish" all the CH's should have been turning down non-ch cowardly gurrek and rock beetle sales huh? And did they?...
