Thread: NO Wonder!!!!!
I'm confused, i was never much on BE pets, I have afew, they converted well. Are you saying that you have two lvl 50 pets with over 10k health and hit for 587-600 that you can actually pull out? If so, you'd be crazy to complain about the CU.
And your lvl 57 seems like a decent pet. I think you guys are confused about pets, drastically. OK, yes pets dmg and health have been reduced. But they had to be, all creatures in the wild have been reduced. What does it matter if your pet that was over 10k has been reduced to 5.8 k if the mob you're fighting has been reduced as well to match it?
Yes I understand. When CU first came out almost all my BE pets needed to be converted. But then it changed an any BE pets I had that were lvl 50 an below did not need to be converted. And YES I have 2 BE pets lvl 50 that I can take out that still have there old stats of 10k plus health [ham] an hit for about 600. YES this is great.... but my other GOOD BE pets that I had spend a half mill on I am afraid to convert after converting a lvl 57. The conversion says something to the effect of your pet has been coverted to AVERAGE stats for the lvl. MY GOOD PETS were anything but AVERAGE. My old favorite pet Thor a gurrcat with over 13k ham across the board an hit for 700 max is now going to be a average lvl 68 pet when converted.
Oh an pets tend to wander again. I was out looking for a Queen Spider an was using one of the BE pets that hits for 600 an after I had him attack an waited a few minutes he started just wondering around... thus soon as I had it kill something I immediatly told it to follow.
What some people that are posting positive here are missing is this patch really screwed over the VETERANS in all trades. It is bad enough I have lost my good unique pets that cost a half mill or so .... but I have well over 100 mill credits so that is a drop in the bucket in some ways... however if I had spent a 100 mill on a legandary weapon an it was now reduced to a average weapon I would be really upset.
For new people to the game an those just coming in I can understand why YOU think this CU is not so bad. But I assure everyone of you that if you had been playing for close to 2 years an had REALLY developed your character you would not be so positive.

I agree 100%. Alot of people do not understand how CH worked then. Yes there are new startagies now, but I loved having my pets tank and be able ot use them for each ocasion like oh look a commando (in pvp) Ill whip out my roba with high heat protection and use its intimidation and poison to mess up my foe while he struggles shooting it with his flamer I can sneak some hits in for the win. That was fun. Now my pets just kinda fight beside me... boring /yawn the mobs run stright for me and no pet is IMPRESSIVE to look at anymore. the only thing that is impressive is maybe the skin but there are so many similar skins I loved looking at my frenzied gruals stats and saying wow or my BE pets that where as powerful as a level 50 pet but only level 35 with light armor and my shosen specials that a BE stressed weeks over to get the perfect DNA. Alot of my stuff in my inventory and my house is useless. I am a Swordsman and I have about 10 sets of like uber uber uber Comp armor that I spent millions on and everyone knows being a CH makes getting money as hard as landing a triple back flip.
look what I am saying here is now yes my developed character and my old memorys and uniqque pets are now just simple screen shots on my computers.
I was here when it released 
I've taken some long breaks too....On the old 1 (0) pets I have seen someone with one [it did not convert auto an there is no option to do so], however when taken out an targeted it showed it was lvl 55. In a way like my lvl 9 BE pet with 7400 health when taken out it an targeted it shows lvl 1, only in reverse of course.
On your comments about Thor in 2 posts up... The conversion even as you explain it, I am not saying you are wrong... but Thor ends up being less of a pet by a lot than my lvl 50 non converted BE pets. Thor was NOT a AVERAGE pet why after playing just under 2 years is he going to be converted to a average pet of his lvl?
