Creature Handler Archive

I don't think we are the only profession that is 'overlooked'.

Pisoleer

- borked specials

-a Master Pistoleer is not as fast OR accurate with their pistol as a MasterBounty Hunter is.

- does not have access to all pistols in game, sounds kinda strange being a 'Master' of a profession and not being able use all the pistols

- does not have access to all specials involving pistols, in fact, I believe the special with the best damage mod is in the Smuggler prof.

- only 3 pistols have ANY form of current AP (yes, I know this will change with the curb) DE-10, which costs millionS to get, DX2, and Republic Blaster. Two of those are energy, and the other is acid. most things have a high res to energy.

Smuggler

Droid Engineer

-when was the last time a person saw a combat droid? the average BE lvl 10 pet is better than a combat droid. Saw that one on the DE forums.

-with the new harvesting mods for being in a group, having a harvesting droid will get a person LESS.

-the new merchant search system will limit usefulness of Barker Droids.

I am sure other profs feel the same lack of a 'niche' as many of us do. We are not alone. I realize full well what my limitations are at this point. I think we are left out of the CU for the fact that they do not know what to do with us. I would rather they spend quality time trying to fix usbefore lumping us in with the rest of the combat profs. Will they ever 'fix' us? I would like to think so. As it stands now, I do not think of CH as an 'elite' combat class. I think of myself more along the lines of a 'support' class. That does NOT mean I think of myself in the same category as a Chef or Tailor. I use my pets to support myself and those with me in combat. They can come in very handy sometimes, can they win the day for me? depends on what I am going up against. Yes, my rancor helped me take out a Dune Kimo as a Pistoleer solo once, yes he suffered some vitality loss, and I had to burstrun like a maniac, but it still got done. Even in a group, they help out when needed.

Just remember, we can cry on the shoulders of other CH's, Smugglers (who don't 'smuggle' anything), and Droid Engineers.

Oh and velm is right, we're not the only overlooked and underpowered proffesion out there heh. I was a master pistoleer for my first proffesion, I had no idea about the game even then, I even mastered it the correct way by using only limited armor and going out with a hunting group, and all during the climb I kept expecting my power to be normal with everyone else who seemed to of invested the same effort only to find that.....well.....nothing changed. I hit the master box, and nothing seemed to happen :/.

It's almost as though when the game came out they invented too many proffesions for them to handle, thinking about it, I can't think of a single MMO out there with as many proffesions as this game .

" you may now board shuttle while burstrunning, running normally, shuffling, walking, standing, sitting, prone, hopskipping, jumping, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU MAY NOW BOARD SHUTTLE WHILE BREATHING!!!!"

yeah, in-game rallies will get you sent to deep space...

I'm all for anything that will get the creature handler off the back burner to fix, but I'm not holding my breath.

when they ban the (expletive deleted) who all gather together to try and fight 300 person player battles that crash an entire server (Bria) then I will give a (hoot)

I have had a post about this same thing going for quite a bit and no CSR or any admin has approached me. There is nothing in the docs that says we are required to get permission to do such. Therefore they had best get off their (benches) and tell me so. I don't read minds.

Gentleman while I agree a ch rally in the form of protest will be deemed punishable by banishment.

However a ch rally on a server at a particular time to have a ch pet show with varius games involved and guest speakers during the halftime show is a player event

So we need a server to host our player event

games can be ch dueling = natural pets and seperate be pets

pet races = using follow other targeting a judge 100m away and using the follow command once they reach the judge. maybe have 3 different race catagories and seperate lvl's or type

pet show = show off your pet use commands to entertain the crowd have 3 judges decide winner

halftime guest speaker's = who will speak and of whatto be determined at a later date

raffle time = raffle of a high level be pet, a rare, and ultra rare if possible.

hired band shall play songs and dance

wraps up with the great CH Hunt = group up move out and kill something lol

thats all I got for now

SHADOWFIRE - MASTER CREATURE HANDLER / MASTER RIFLEMAN

TEMPEST MTK/MD - WANDERHOME MT/MM -???-???

"Creature Handlers are not 1% of the population, they are over the 50% mark, the 1% excuse is a flat out lie"

Jo Jo you know I luv ya, but that sounds so ....well I am withotu a word that would not be insulting. I wish it worked that way, but unfortunately there are 2 trick commands, everyone knows which pets are the fastest, and everyone knows that cockfights take place in seedy mexican bars back rooms.

lol

then how about this for a rally ah I mean player event

The Great Mount Road Show

All ch's and non ch's invited well friends of ch anyways lol start in a major city like mos eisly go from there to bestine from bestine to moenia, from moenia to theed, from theed to tyrena from tyrena to end it in coronet.

as we travell on our mounts weshall pick up people along the way lol and mounts can be an easy thing if our ch friends can grab up some as we create characters on the server to be named.

think it might be fun to cruise by cities like this and we can still have our guest speakers say a little speach at every city, could do dantooine too since mining is usually busy in most servers

TEMPEST MTK/MD - WANDERHOME MT/MM -???-???

"Creature Handlers are not 1% of the population, they are over the 50% mark, the 1% excuse is a flat out lie"

But hey Jo the raffle could be interesting. Just as long as you bring the pets.

yeah but I say we have mount races like the swoop tracks do. Would take some planning but it would be better. Pet speed is preset and you would just get alot of ties.
