Thread: Patchnotes: Creature Handler useless?!
Regarding Pets and grouping
Pets are not calculated in either mission difficulty or payout, only the Creature Handler
(Quote from Tiggs)
In short does it mean, that the pets will grant no more bonus on the group level? Any (!) profession makes more damage than a tamed pet. Larger pets do not spawn babies or cannot be tamed in case of a too high level. The last nerf of the creatures itself has hurt a lot (GSP without armor, Grand Wrix on Level 25, exp limited to 2000 as total, 2 pets give a total of 2k exp, pets like Bloodseeker Mite lost the resistances, and so on) and now they will not count on the group level anymore?
Tell me, how can you tell anyone who plays SWG to begin the career to a creature handler?! It is very hard to level, it blocks two rows of the Scout profession, the pets can support only on low level (for example a Master Rifleman can kill even a lair of Rancors faster than the pet runs to the lair), any TKA kann kill nearly any creature (except the ones with 100% kinetc of course) faster than a pet does. Any creature who would need a pet to tank (Krayt for example) can kill the pet much faster than any player (Fencer, Jedi, etc.).
Currently I have a Master CH on Naritus. I mastered it at the "old times" and still have a Bloodseeker Mite and some GSP and Wrixes. If this rule above stays, I play with the thought to surrender the CH to make something more usefull, because in my opinion the CH will have no sense anymore... 
My opinion.

Can we get a link to that? I know that Tiggs and TH came here to these forums and said pets would count towards difficulty but not payout....

It's amazing, for some reason you can't give stars to the Devs. Wonder why?

Wow, alot of people hated the solo-group nerf. But I noticed alot of them that were threatening to quit were in fact combat classes. A few crafters even defended the move since most crafters are "dirt poor".
The thinking of manyon the solo group "nerf" was that it was good for the overall economy. I agree. Things have gotten too inflated on some servers. I'm a Rifleman and I agreed with it, so did many other combat calss playersI know.
