Yea I know, said I wasnt goin back but MCH title was too much for me
Ok my take on the whole thing, if you are frail then dont read any more lol.
Went to endor right off the bat my fav. taming grounds, got a merek, c-gurreck, lantern bird, webmaster and boar wolf.
saw a gorax sent pets in mabye il post log later, but the pets didnt seem to have any health and just fought forever, the lantern bird should have fallen in seconds but it fought for the duration, also master rifleman and i gotbored and fired. did some damage and ran back, fired again when pets resumed agro away from me. fired again an incapped. pets took agro an kept fighting.
Ok so its TC and I dont know whats supposed to be and whats not but it would appear if Itook my time a purple lvl300 grax would have fallen. I instead would fire too often and when the gorax was roughly 1/5 health gone finnaly killed me. my pets were still fighting though untill i cloned.
Ok my summation, pets are generic, I mean generic. there is no difference between most other than skins and a little damage difference. as master scout I see no health on them (maybe I need to activate something but I see the health on the enemy??) there are no specials, the con sytem takes any tactics away from doing anything. flushing out a lair of webmasters for a baby was a no brainer. they were below my con and i just sat there spamming 4 shots while eating cupcakes and drinking cofeewith my other handlol.
felt absolutly no danger nor excitement even battling the gorax since my pets never fell in battle.
truthfully other than what your pets look like ch will be a very broing profession. As a master rifleman all I can say is big deal most shots and weapons are so close in damage and since creatures have no stats its borind as hell. I used to like trying to figure out the best way to do stuff. After this its all stand and spam,light up a smoke and then wipe the drool from your mouth.
Unless they scrap these plans, and I doubt they will. they never listen to they're patrons.
I shall be leaving here when my accounts run out, not a threat but a promise, I shall be using the frogs when it goes live and dumping creature handler, maybe entertainer character or somthing since chatting with people will be the most surprising and exciting thing to do here.
Its a very sad day for me, I bought this game because the ch profession, i like starwars but that was key for me, as an animal lover and the thought of it all was in the end why I bought this game.
Generic pets and creatures with no life, just zombies to the level sytem is not what I have been playing for almost two years, Its disgusting that they call this an ugrade.
if you love ch and your pets then do not go there to TC and use the frog, just play this game for a few weeks then grab a t21 and shoot your pets in the head on may 4th, dont let them suffer the cu.
Mods deleted the addresses for Lucas Arts, seems its against the rules to tattle on them lol. PM me if anyone wants it and I'l send you it via personal email.

Kinda makes me feel better about dropping MCH a few weeks ago. I still am trying to figure out what they are trying to accomplish with this level crap, you either can kill it or you cant, wow thats exciting

So I ask, Vert. What was the point of all the feedback we have given you and the devs concerning the CU? I know that this CU is COMPLETELY different from what was originally planned, with the sandbox and all that.
So much for integrity huh guys?...

I thought I would finally try to take a trip over to the test center and see what the new combat system was like first hand. HEHE, the patches were going to require a 47 hour download, yes, HOUR, not minute. So, I will still have to wait and hear what it is like from other people.
(EEK! I don't even want to know how long it will take me download it when it goes live!)

That's odd about the pets. I figured in the level system a MCH would be week since the pets have a lower max level than the player. If the pets were to get all the same level in a group, then wouldn't everyone just use 3 pets? Anyway, seems the skill builder is working on TC so can grab whatever template you wanna try out now.

I think the thing that makes me more mad than anything is that this "upgrade" is completely different from the one which all the correspondents and alpha testers were so happy about although it seems this is more Lucas' doing than anything, pushing for a release in time for Ep3.

Wanna hear something sad Velm, took me 8 minutes to download it originally, then 16 minutes last night for the upgrades since CU first went testing. Makes you want to shoot your ISP doesn't it?

No you dont understand and if you look at everything you will see the apple for the tree
Pets do not have stats nothing
not even the frog pets, nada
and Rogue try looking at my daily curb thread it started constructive and went down hill
its a few pages back
If your sick of reading I quit then try not coming to the forum. I don't run around saying it, but in this case I mean it. If you don'tlike what I write then why read my threads.
Pets are generic
they are level pets with nothing to distinguish them from eachother otherthan a few damage points
and for the sky is falling remark above
I hope you enjoy your time paying for such a thought out game. You are the perfect customer

I believe the appropriate quote is from The Outlaw Josey Wales:

CH may suck in the CU for PvE. But it is awesome in PvP. I had 3 lvl 10 critters attack a lvl 80 guy in full armor, and they totally wooped on him. I think CH is gona be very nice in PvP.
