As it is today some of us have creatures in our datapad that to me seem a bit out of the context. Kimogila, Rancor and certain others. Yes one can say they are cool and feared but would it not be a lot less odd if we kept them as wild animals and only had a few large left maybe even none from the current list of pets available to us. Thus some of the creatures could also get some revamp when we talk of combat. Allow them to trample and smash us to bits with ease if we are alone. I would like them say a rancor or a kimogila to kill us in one blow if unprotected and if protected we could perhpas stand up long enough to be able to flee but not much more if we are alone. Today people solo everything in this game and it makes me sad.... If we do something like this we would not have to be afraid of CH.s getting too powerful pets and we would get very nice combat resitance out in the field with the large creatures.
So I basically ask you out here in the forums this. Can we be without Kimogila, Rancor, Graulers, Fambaas and so on. Do we really need them? And if you think we need them could we refrain from using them in city limits or maybe be unable to use them in certain places. I do not know what or how that could be solved but I want large pets gone from us or at least from city limits.
Sior.

Now that BEs can put any stats into any skin and the wild pets a worthless compared to the BE pets, why not they have taken every thing else from us. The real problem with most of the solo mission thing is BUFFING. Back when the game started and know body had armor and no body could buff alot of people cried that missions were to hard for the people that liked to play solo, now with armor and full buff you see groups of 10+ people taking missions and all of them running thier own solo. The same thing is what got our pets nerfed, we appeared to be way over powered early on but now with the armor and the buffs we are a joke. It is true we were to stroge, anyone that was a MCH back then knows this, but they dropped us to be competitive to a player that has no armor and no buff. I think the pets either need restored to a higher state or the buffs need a revamp.

i have been playing SWG since june and have noticed something about the CH community and large creatures like the kimo and rancor .. They seem to turn CH's into complete idiots !.
How many times have you seen MCH's with rancors and kimo's in town causeing all kinds of lag ?..how often have you seen a CH with a little pet out and a MCH has to get out a bigger pet just to show off ?.
IMO creatures like those just swell peoples heads and personal i have no intrest in having one of those pets in my datapad what so ever.
All you hear on those board is " rancor rancor gotta have a rancor !" .. WHY ? .. I'm more intrested in rarer pets and unusual pets not what every man and his dog has and lets face it every CH has one !.
It will be no great loss to me if those creature's were taken out.

I partially agree. Big pets are cool and i am going to tame/buy some of them, but i think babies should be rare, even the common versions of rancors etc. should be hard to come by and BEs shouldn't be allowed to make those rare pets.

Hell, i say, make it possible to tame a krayt dragon, only for FS-CHs with maxed out stats and let a krayt baby spawn only once a month.

So it a lag issue.... O.... and it Bull Rancor that everyone has to have...
As everyone knows most natural pets are crap in combat, so you have to options get the biggest and badest or go to a BE...
Anyway I feel the spammers and people griding medical and entertain exp are lagging the server

Greetings,
If people believe that it's pets (regardless of size)which cause lag they are sorely mistaken. This issue has ben discussed many times before, so a quick search should reveal some important information.
Now, if the argument were that some creatures are so large and make it difficult to target people/things, I could perhaps agree to some extent. Myself, I try to be courteous when having pets out. If I am grouping with them for higher level missions, I keep them away from the mission terminal so that others will not be inconvenienced. Try telling that tosomeone too lazy to get out of their friggin vehicle to get missions.If I am in a busy city, I also try keep my pets out of the way of people doing business.
The problem here is not the pets, it's the people. The more I play this game, the more I see how inconsiderate our society has become. It truly saddens me. Lack of respect for others is more the rule than the exception.
As an example: Last night, a MBE friend of mine was explaining that she was at the Blueleaf Temple sampling Dark Kliknik Warriors because they are a high CL sampleable creature with Stun and Intimidate.. She was in the process of filling a customer's order. Before long someone comes along and she explains what she is doing and asks him not to disturb the Warriors. She had been waiting a half an hour waiting for them to respawn from the last batch of people who had been there. He of course pays no attention and proceeds to slaughter everything in his way to the bottom. Once she complained to him, his response was, "Oh, so you're one of those." Exactly what he meant she didn't get. According to hera few choicewords were tossed around and he jetted off in his speeder. So, she had to wait around for another half an hour for them to respawn again. Fortunately for her, she did manage to loot a couple of nice clothing attachments which was a nice surprise. Maskscent did it's work for her, she told me.
Anyway, it's not CH's with big pets which constitute most of the problems with this game other than the bugs. It's may people with th mem me me attitude who don't care about the enjoyment of the game for others.
Good Luck to All,
Gawzeera

How about no. Now go away...
By the way. Creatures is not what are causing lag. It's graphics lag is what you are suffering, meaning you need to update your system and/or turn your graphics down.
Take your call for nerfs and shove 'em...

When armor gets nerfed and whatever happens to damage in a combat rebalance, I think you'll see CHs becoming more popular in both PvE and PvP. I can remember large groups of CHs going out on hunts, with everyone putting their pets on some high level NPC or creature. It was pretty damn fun.
