I hope that the word grenade was supposed to be trap and not state,
either that or some dev doesn't know the difference between grenades and traps
gre·nade (grə-nād')
n.
"A small bomb or explosive missile that is detonated by a fuse and thrown by hand or shot from a rifle or launcher."
Ranger traps are, by definition, a grenade... an explosive thrown by had. Honestly, except for the adhesive mesh (pre-CU), nothing in the scout or ranger line really qualifies as a "trap".. (A device for catching and holding something).
Profession: Creature Handler
* Pets now properly use their speed enhancing abilities.
* On Test Center , Triggered L1 Pet Abilities should now work properly.
* Removed the ability to have Elite or Boss class pets. Pets will automatically return to their standard statistics for their given level.
* Changed all Elite tamable creatures to non-Elite.
""* Removed the ability to have Elite or Boss class pets. Pets will automatically return to their standard statistics for their given level.

Anyone know what this means?
yeah if your pet has stats the dev dont particularly agree with they are going to destroy them yet again. Its yet another example of preferential treatment. PRE CU sabres and guns are not being touched anyone who has a BE pet with say 1000 extra health gets nerfed. Right down the stats of your good pets tonight folks so we can raise the same kind of hell the jedi did to get the xp progression reversed last week.
If this does happen I can only imagine the holy hell that will decend on this forum. These pets are no different then pre cu sabres and guns. If this is the case all these items must be treated the same. If your going to screw around with ch you need to do the same with jedi and ranged and melee classes. You cannot play favorites. Quite frankly I am getting sick and tired of it four times by my estimate they did this nonsense to us 4 times. Its not our fault if they jumped the gun on the CURB and did not get BE resolved or that they ripped the conversion and pet tradein guys out.
Its just a twisted sick thing to do, and I want to see the guy who is out abuseing this so called boss pet. Hmm I aint seen him have you. I tell you what I have seen pre curb sabres and pre curb guns and broken specials ripping players apart all over the place. I tell you what it is the devs have a hair up theirdairyaire about the very thought of any way shape and form of chs being even slightly rewarded for their committment.

Everyone of us has a pet that slipped in with some decent stats and they cant stand the thought. If you got a 7.5 k kimo pucker up buttercups because tommorrow he is going to be twisted down to 6330. If your pets damage range has a gap of just 30 smile for the birdy that gap will now be 300.
I hope they wise up and do not try to put this in its only going to make alot of players angry get people to quit ch because its totally unstable, and get players to quit the game. Dropping a system that requires 70 million xp to do doth not make up for it devs. Your makeing us jump through loops now. You snatch our pets away again and alot of us are going to snap. Who am i kidding I will just go get a BE to make me another bugged one. I still kept some of that pre curb dna and I got enough for another 20 pets so raspberry to you.
OMG teh sky is falling.
Sorry, but you are incorrect. See below for correct reason for the listed notes.

Its a patch note that was from Publish 21. It is already on Live and went Live with Publish 21. It was the removal of the Elite pets, to make way for the increased flexibility of the Publish 21 changes.
There were some technical difficulties, according to Tiggs, that resulted in a number of Publish notes being resubmitted, for things that have already gone Live in a previous Publish. This would be why the Publish notes took so long to be posted, after TC-Prime came back up.

AI
* When a creature or NPC is attacked by multiple players and then exits combat after deathblowing one of the players, the new behavior allows the AI to continue combat with all attacking players, even after deathblowing one of the players.

* Player light (CTRL-L) now extends further into building interiors
Combat
* Elemental damage will now be applied to a target for weapons that have bonus elemental damage.

House Pack-up
* New Feature: The owner of a player house may choose to "pack-up" the structure and all its contents into a house control device. This control device is stored in the player's data pad (CTRL-D). The option to pack up the house is available on the structure's control terminal. You can access the structure's control terminal by using the radial menu.
Once the house is packed up, a player can interact with the house in a limited fashion via the house control device in the data pad. The player has 3 options available:
1. Check Status: This is identical to the check status available inside of the placed house. It allows a player to see the number of items stored in the house as well as the current maintenance situation on the house.
2. Pay Maintenance: This is identical to the functionality of the same name on a placed house. It allows the player to make maintenance payments for the structure.
3. Unpack house: This feature will cause the house to go into the placement mode. This works the same way as placing a house from a deed. All placement rules are followed.
** Note: Houses with vendors inside can not be packed. The vendors must first be removed before a house can be packed.
** Note: Only player houses may be packed up.
When a house is packed up:

Player Associations
* If your guild is currently in a guild war with another guild and after you clone, you will incur a 5 minute guild war "cool down" period during which you cannot engage in guild war combat (attack or be attacked). This rule affects guild war PvP only. All other PvP rules are still in effect.

What is considered elite?
Tiggs stated that they were having problems with their patch notes program. Some old patch notes got included with the current ones.
The elites referred to above have already been removed. They were the old creatures thathad <chevrons> on the side of their creature type.
