Creature Handler Archive

Wouldn't that undermine one of the biggest purposes of the Creature Handler profession? We're Creature Handlers...not Faction Drill Sergeants.

From what I took out of the statement, I was under the impression that creature pets were being made to act like factional pets, not being able to attack things that are not of the opposite faction. That would not make sense though, what would Nuetrals do? Any confirmation or anything on this? Doesn't seem right...

We need to speak up, if this includes our pets then they truley have swung the BIGGEST bat of all.

Um this is old old fix. It made it so Imps couldn't use their level 100 pets (ATST) to hunt with, therefore canceling the need for any CH skills to control the most powerful pet in the game.


Ok checked on it, apparently there is a bug/exploit that allows players to again Use their ATST's to attack non-rebels.

THIS WILL NOT EFFECT CH AT ALL!!

we now return you to your autostoreing, cowardly pets.

its for faction pets only.
Nor was it a bug or exploit imo. Faction pets were just not allowed to attack teffed coverts or wild creatures. Rebels and imperials still used faction pets in hunts while setting their faction pet on guard. If the creature did an area type attack the faction pet if hit would attempt to defend itself. However the problem arose when imperials did this agaisnt kryat dragons thus giving them an edge agaisnt those that dint use an AT-ST.
I hunt overt often so i can use my AT-ST for enraged rancor missions. With the increased traffic on dath due to the village its common to see overt rebels so i keep my At-St with me wheile on missions. Normally it sits there and my pet creatures attck but on occasion a enraged bull does set off my AT-ST. Hunting rancors hasnt seemed to ofend any passing by rebels or imperials. Hunting a kryat dragon that has loot of a substantial monetary value however has. Thus the change we see.
With the removal of the TEF i dont care about this change since ill be able to get my missions using my AT-ST and wont ahve to leave it out for fear of being jumped by a rebel or jedi while a pack of rancors are pounding on me.

Pets

• Made pets not attack neutral AI

This update is not just GCW, there are all types of changes in that thread. Tiggs has been reading the respones and feedback and has seen MANY people ask the same thing we are asking here.. does it or does it not include our 'ch' pets? She has not responded onthat issue. If i were to make an assumption, its because A.. she doesnt know herself or B. it does include us and she doesnt want to be the bearer of bad news.

Just to clarify.

My master CH on test center worked just as he should, no nerf to us ( for once) , just for faction pets.

Gun I replied the way i did becasue of the statements the above poster made.
Ive already been to TC and thus far everything appears to be in order.My mistake for not being more clear.
Also faction pets seems like the only logical explation without reading to far into Tiggs' statement. Considering that Nuetrals also ahve pets then according to how it is stated Nuetral pets would be null and not attack anything in game.
