Update to the ch profession for patch 11.2


* Fixed pet duping issue


* We changed the way group payouts for missions are calculated.? When a mission is generated, the reward payout per member is calculated based on the current size of the group.? If the group shrinks in size or group members are too far away to receive payout, those that do get paid receive the original per member reward.? For example, if 3 players take a mission that pays 12k credits, each player will receive a maximum of 4k credits when the mission is completed.? They receive 0 if they are out of range, and less if more people are added to the group to complete the mission


It was very vague was the pet duping issue is and how they fixed it.


I also ran missions on every planet to ensure that our missions go unaffected with the same payouts and so on. I mostly focused to Dathomir where I ran Bull Rancors successfully with the appropriate payout and lair size. There were no bugs at all but if anyone has any they would like to report on this new patch please post here.

Added this to comment on another post discovered.


Yes the pets do enhance the missions difficulty level as before. What the change did is prevent solo groups from getting the full profits of missions that are not completed by both members of the group. For example if someone groups at starport for a 18k mission and when completes will only get 9k instead of the full mission payout.


From my study I posted I found this patch did not affect the way we get missions or how we can profit by them

i have yet to see the difference in payout for normal solo-groups as well tho. i always got the full mission reward even in a solo-group so i guess that "feature" might not have been implented yet or isn't working as planned.

except a new message that tells me if some of my group-members are to far away to recieve their reward absolutely nothing has changed to my experience yet.

i'm gonna wait and see what today's bugfix brings...

i tested this just before server down on the patch day.


i grouped with two graul maulers and noted that i was defiently getting better paying missions. they average price went up from 7 or 8k to about 18 - 20k.


i noted how much was in my account before i started the mission and how much the mission was worth. i stored the two GM's and completed the mission.


the full amount was paid into my account.


im still not exactly sure what the devs wanted to acheive with this patch, they may have exstinguished solo groups but now everyones just plain solo!

Buisness as usual for me, missions were exaclty the same no higher or lower


I may be out of line here but judging from what I have read already in the prior threads about the upcomming 11.2 pub. id this thread really a good idea especially posting details.


I think it would just inflame the people who have seemed to be gone finnally from our forums.


as we know from our history as ch, the solution to other peoples anger is often "nerf them" the less information we feed the other professions right now the better.


if anyone here has to ask why i even posted this lol or wants to disagree il just ask you now to read the other threads were we were battered and many cried hit them too lol


sometimes it is better to quietly walk the path of a ch, than to advertise an benifit we may have retained.

Thats what I'm worried about happening. If we see a massive influx of people to CH then the devs might just give us another wack with the nerf bat.

I was very pleased with patch 11.2.


It's so nice to now hear mypets fighting along side me. While in Cnet I did /tellpet wait to my Bull Rancor at least 30 times in a row, just to hear his roar.


Hopefully CH not having to share the mission payout with his pets is as intended and not another oversite by the "Dev Team". For if they had made our pets take thier share of the reward would have given a CH the logical complaint that pets should now do thier own Stim Pack & Pet Food shopping, but my pets doing thier own shopping could lead to a Bull Rancor with a Harm Hat,Muscle Shirt, Pink Pantaloons and one mother of a Power Hammer.

Thanks for the update Milteck. I also just noticed that my datapad capacity has changed. I'm now showing 35% where before I was at 80+%. Haven't seen any notes on this? Anyone else experience this?


As for information or not I truly don't believe that the devs "have it out" for CH. They are trying to do what needs to be done for the majority of players. We all have our own bias as to what needs what changes. They have a big job on their plate. I'm sure there is no vendetta against any profession.

It seems that now waypoints don't take up space in the datapad!!! Woot!!! This will be really cool if it stays that way. No more being penalized for being a CH with the datapad space....
