Creature Handler Archive

I don't read these boards, I just play the game and live my life. I enjoy the heck out of running around collecting pets and storing them away. I did not do this much at all before a Droid Eng told me I could store pets in a Datapad and suddenly an entirely new world opened up. I am now told its an exploit, how was I supposed to know this? I am still not sure if it is or isn't. I have the ability to transfer pets the honest way.

I don't want this to seem like I am a lame Brained Power Mounger. The vast majority of time you see me I will not have a pet out at all. They get in the way when I am hunting for more creatures. I am nota heavy pet seller but I love to collect them. This game has become so much more fun since I was sold my droid. I know many people will say just suck it up. I am understand your self interests are such that you don't care. thats fine with me.

But We need a way to store pets. I think this is completely fair that CHs can only handle X number of pets at a time. I honestly hunt most often without them as I am exploring the worlds and they get in the way. I have collected interesting creatures from all over the worlds. It is what I thought I was supposed to do. I give many away but I don't sell any of them. I also didn't know that using a Data device was an exploit. Why is it an exploit? Have the devs said it was? I have spend hundreds of hours collecting all kinds of things from Giant Bats, to Giant Snakes. I can be very Uber if I want to be with the slots I have already. I am a collector and explorer. If I have no place to store my pets then the primary thing I enjoy about the game has been removed. Having 50 pets or even 150 doesn't effect the game. The majority of mine are not combat creatures but even if I were a power gamer I am not more powerful with a droid full of Rancors than I am with pack full of them. Its a nonissue in terms of power. This change only effects collectors and sales people. Its possible they don't want CHs selling pets but I find that odd. BE can sell them easily and in improved forms. There is overlap but then thats the great thing about the two classes.

The Idea of BE Cargo cases is great. But if this happens we should have time to move our pets to Cargo containers from the droids, I also think it mightbe a good idea to make using these containers a lvl 4 skill also.

The Ability to move pets from Datapads to untrained status in our Dwelings would be awesome. Then we can have them standing around like BEs do. It would also prevent huge collections of Powerful pets from being drug around.

There are many many things that can be done but removing the Droid storage will be a very harsh thing to do to all the players like myself who don't come to the boards and have no clue this is supposed to be an exploit. If I loose the many many hours I have spent collecting pets it will be akin to loosing buildings in Shadow Bane, a game breaker with very negative emotions tied to it. I know I am not alone.

This will not hurt the power gamers, it will hurt the explorers and the sellers in the Creature Handler field. The ones that play by all the rules fair and square. Remove the exploits and leave us a way to store pets. Maybe there should be a complex process for getting pets out of containers once they are in them? A special device that is stored in Houses or guild halls? If this is handled well it will be more fun not less while restricting the abusers.

Maybe a Skill called Capture not tame that places the creature inside a Crate? That would be very cool. BEs could make the Crates and thus everyone gets a little without loosing to much.

I have a few questions about storing pets. Can we put our pets in a vendor? Can we drop a pet in our home and have 'em stay and then just pick 'em up when we need 'em? Reason I am asking is I need alot more storage than 14 if i'm gonna sell pets. 14 does sound like alot but it really isn't. I have 2 maulers, 2 merek assasins, 2 avengers, 2 battlelords, gurreck, spider thingy, 2 gsp, 2 gw and I use those all the time in pvp or pve and I haven't any room to tame pets for selling. any help will be appreciated.

No. And no.

Sign the petition for more pet storage space if you want to be able to keep more pets in your datapad, a barn or a droid.

What is required to store pets in a droid

1. Does the pet need the transfer command?

2. Does the player need CH level for transfer command?

3. Are the pets counted as your total or can you have more pets with a droid holding some?

I have seached this to no avail...so sorry for the dumbass questions

4. What is the best droid for storage: items and pets and crafting station? R3? advanced

Thanks for any links or replys

To address your 4th question. Any droid with a level 6 storage module can store 10 items. The droid type is irelevant, as long as it has the storage module (Binary load lifters can't have any modules, and surgical droids are bugged as far as the storage module is concerned, but all the other droids are equal at the task.)

Is there a pen or stable or something we can store pets in other than the data pad? As always thanks for your help.

No, but I believe it is on the wish list.

It's been on the wish list for months.There was even a very long thread about it in the development forum. But as usual, the devs totally ignored it.
