this is a no brainer. more is better than less.

I would just like to be able to store a few pets in my house. I don't need a lot of room I just want to be able to have a few of them there so I can have a couple of more slots wether it be in a data terminal or some other means

I am a CH, I'm not just some ignorant moron coming here to bash you guys. I'm obviously not a MCH, if you read my post, you'd have seen that. You actually think being a CH takes alot of upkeep? The only thing that cost money are stims to heal them, vitality packs (I've never used one, but I assume they aren't free), and the travel to get there (and back). The travel is no more than 5k total, it cost like 500cr to get 30 stim-Bs of quality 410 (On Kettemoor, anyway). They heal 700-1000 each, so that's about 3 times healing from incapped to full for 500 credits, which is hardly alot of upkeep. The fact of the matter is: If you want to be able to solo anything decently hard, you NEED creature handler skills. You say that all they are good for is meat shields, but I'm not sure if you understand how useful a meat sheild is. I know without my CH skills I wouldn't be able to solo anything near as hard as I can now. CH is amazingly powerful for the amount of time/skill credits you put into it.

I hope they nerf CH, so I can drop it. I don't like having skills in a profession simply because I HAVE to do be able to kill anything decently hard.

Anyway, back to the point of the topic: Giving us more slots wouldn't be that great of an improvement (I'm not saying it would make us uber-powerful or anything), but I don't feel we need it, based on the fact that I can only store six creatures, and it is MORE than enough for me. I believe there are 10 (8?) different types of damage, so if you have one for each, you have 6 left (at master). I've been in Bestine saying that I'd give away a FREE rock beetle (one of the best non-CH pets), and it was a good 5 minutes before I got a taker. I think that two slots would be enough for selling pets (I imagine it's a little harder to sell things then give them away...), and that leaves you with 4 for your "Exotic pets". I don't see why you'd need any more, but if you really think we need more slots THAT bad, go ahead, sign the petition. Good luck

I agree Deathtoll, with mounts coming up, I'd want to gather some animals that will be mounts (Dewbacks ATM until there is a confirmed list), and I'd need storage for them.

Do us all a favour drop CH RIGHT NOW, piss off and find another profession if you don't like it that much.

Now back to topic, you are definately not the CH type and should not be playing one first off, most people want an ADULT pet when they buy it, a few don't care but most do that means leaving a pet in your data pad for about 3-5 days, no way in hell are 2 slots going to cut it when you are trying to make money selling them.

I started last week with 4 Graul Maulers (because I had no more room to tame more) I kept one for myself, the other 3 I sold a day after they reached adult, at 35k they sold very quickly I actually coulda sold more if I had had the room since I had people asking me for them.

2 slots good enough... go soak your head your brains dried out... and remember MOUNTS ARE COMING = WE NEED MORE STORAGE SPACE.

What do you think about having ten slots for when you get to taming one or training one? I think that would be great for when Mounts come eventually, that way people can stock up on mounts and all. Also, Novice CH can still have 4 so that people can get the hang of CH first before having so much space.

Did you even read my post? Creature Handler is already the best combat class there is when you compare it to the amount of credits/time it takes to get. If anything they should nerf CH again, not make it better.

Quit with the nerf whining. Let the devs make the game fun and if you feel that Creature Handler is a powerful class then play it but don't just run around and say that a class is too powerful. I am really tired of hearing that.

I don't get why little piss ants like you think it is your duty to come here and tell us we don't need more slots. If you don't need more slots, fine. Is it going to hurt you an any way shape or form is other people use more pets and store more pets? Or are you such a petty little ass that you think anyone who doesn't play the game exactly like you is doing something wrong. How about instead of dropping CH, you drop SWG. Both the game and the community would be served well by having fewer assholes like you in the game.

You know I agree with that statement. This game would be 100% better if it wasn't for the whiney peoples.

How bout if they let us have 16 pets that have learned the "Attack" command. If you don't train the attack command it would be considered a trophy and you could store as many as your datapad would allow. Just a thought. I'm only 1/1/1/2 so I'm not really effected yet.

I agree that we CH need some for of storage enhancement. I also think the past luxury os droid data storage was too much. Personally I was using 2 droids and at times had over 150 pets in stock as part of my grind and my traveling pet store.

Now with conditions as they are I'm not able to fulfill my aims as a purveyor of quality pets to the masses. I'm forced to limit my quiver or creatures to a handful (I know many BH that have a stock of varing weapons and armor with different capabilities, weaknesses). I think that for the CH where creature are our weapons, you need a special pet, or duo / trio of pets to get the job at hand done. I'm faced with releasing my first and oldest friend bageraset, for no other reason than I have no space for it to call home.

I don't think that droid storage should be enabled were it once was, but if the number were at a more reasonable level, say 4-12 pets, that would help. As an alternate solution, give us a method to deep store pets in a manner that would resemble re-deeding them into an inventory item. This could allow us to retire, yet hold pets, store pets for long term holding, and sell them on bazaar. I don't even care if they forget their previous training... just give us a chance to stock them away.
