i have to agree that CH makes for the best stories!

and some of the saddest, lol

Y'know, you could've just asked. I've got plenty of cocoa and 'mallows to go around. They just get stuck in my choppers anyway... I end up smelling like a Gamorrean's armpit after a few hours.

Here's a crap story -my first tame, a dragonet, which i actually succeeded in taming whilst technically dead - quite funny watching the taming dialogue come out of the mouth of a corpse on the ground...

So there was me and my fellow CH Nosskit out taming stuff on Dathomir - well to be specific we were out looking for Rancor babys to replace the ones we had just had to delete having returned to the game after a long layoff.

We came across a lair and proceeded to fight hard against the spawning adults until eventually a nice little baby rancor popped up......an interesting little debate raged between us as to who should have first tame and we eventually decided to use a random number generator to decide for us.

Being the complete clown shoedwookie that I am I failed to notice that I still had the baby targetted, and it alos hadn't occurred to me that the command for random rolling that I had been using in WoW wouldn't work in SWG.

Sooooo.....having entered '/roll 1 100' with this cute little rancor targetted you can imagine my utter dismay when my MCH/ CARBINE USER proceeded to launch into a ROLL attack.....

Oh, how we laughed

First let me say I am respec'd crafter--got tired of DE and SW so Irespec'd to4333CH/Master Pistol. Anyway, my first memorable tame came with a rather large critter: the infamous Rancor.

I had drove up the mountain of the Singing Mountain clan, because I remembered from my mining days seeing Rancors up there. I wasn't even sure what level they would be, but I wanted to check. I thought for sure they were 70+. And I see now that some are. But there exist, as I'm sure you all know, 50lvl Rancors.

Lo and behold the first nest I come across has a baby Rancor! I couldn't believe my luck (or my misfortune as I found out). I applied mask scent and worked my way cautiously into the pack, my blood rising in my ears hoping that the mask wouldn't drop as I'm surrounded by Rancors. Even more exciting was the chance to tame one of the icons of Star Wars--I didn't care it was only CL50.

So I'm close, and start the tame. But the little brute is rambunctious, and he's moving all over (didn't know /follow at the time). Tame failed. Tame failed. Tame failed. Then he aggos, and mask drops. Everybodies angry now. I flee blindly, flailing and plow into some Mountain clan witches. Dead.

I clone with new determination. I head back there, and the baby is still up. I proceed to tame again. Tame failed. Tame failed..etc. Then Aggro again! I run, this time into a pack of bracksets. A huge momma rancor incaps me, but to my surprise, the bracksets gang up on the Rancor and proceed to lay it down. To say I was shocked is an understatement. To this day, I will not kill a brackset, lol. So I proceed to reduce the danger by drawing the adult Rancors into the bracksets. Soon I only had the baby left.

Well after an hour, I still couldn't tame it. I tried dozens of times until it suddenly became untamebale. I assume it must have grown out of the baby stage. Anyway, I never got that Rancor. But after buying some taming pants for vicious creatures, I did eventually geta baby Rancor a week later.

This was the tame that caused me to really enjoy CH.

This isn’t exactly a fun story, but I figure of anyone playing this game, you could all relate. It’s this past Monday morning, like 2am/ Sunday afternoon in the US. I have one day off, and have spent the last three hrs doing guild related maintenance, inventory, and moving of items and buildings, as friends leave the game. It’s sad, and boring, so I decide to work on a few of my newest pets. I pop over to Moss Eisly, where I find a kind entertainer who is willing to group with my pet. I drag my flea over to the newbie spawns and start sending her into thin out the masses of rats and what not. Over the next 1 hr I chat with people, or do mail related stuff. It gets to be 4am, and I am pretty beat, so I throw on a macro, turn off the monitor, and crash out. About 5 hrs later I wake up to the sound of an endless stream of tells pinging in the background. I had forgotten to turn off my sound. I rub my eyes, and blearily look at the hillside where my flea has been hard at work. It’s strewn with corpses, and its happily bouncing on the head of a womp rat. I pan left , and see chat balloons as high as I can see of screaming and yelling, with the odd sob or cry thrown in. what’s going on. I scroll back through my tells, to find that I have been receiving tells for 10 mins from what appears to be 4 different people. I call the pet in, store it and suddenly surrounded by people. One is a CH, who is begging me to help her, while the others, I will refer to as 10yr script kiddies, are screaming to give back there pets, thief, noob, and the like, as the CH is crying on my shoulder asking for help. I calmly tell every one to stop talking, at which point everything stops, I ask what’s going on, and am promptly spammed with explanation ranging from a thief by a Ch, to a respect noob who doesn’t know how to even trade. At this point I am getting slightly miffed, as I am reading back through my tells, I have slept 5 hrs in 36hrs, and have not had a chance to even use the bathroom. It seems that the CH was asked to train the Cl 1-CL 3 player’s new pets. At which point they became un-tradeble, since these individuals had pets they would not release. I start asking the ring leader what the problem is when he states:

“She won’t give me my flea back! I told her I only have one flea of my friend and my rancor! But she won’t trade me back my flea!”

I send a group invite to the CH, and ask her to tell me what is going on in group chat

I then say

“Wait a minnit buster; you have a second flea, that is your friends, as well as a rancor? Why do you have a rancor?

You do know you can not use a rancor at your level or with out even some Ch skills right!? Unfortunately, the way the game works is that….”

“She told me I have to kill it, give me 900000 for it and you can have it! I spent all my money on it! make her give me my flea back.”

“If you want your flea, you will have to destroy your rancor”

“You are both just thief’s, you are working together. Give me 900000 for the rancor and you can have it”

At this point another “Friend” shows up. Thanks god he is an lvl5 guilded 11 year old. The CH, is asking me what she should do, she has wasted 1hr trying to get these kids to take back there pets or make room, but they just yell at her. The “friend” starts begging us to not destroy the flea and just hold it, until he can be a novice CH so he can take it back. We both explain that we neither want the flea, nor are we a pet hotel, and we would both like to solve this issue, all they need to do is find some one who they trust to take the flea. Or destroy the pet that they can not use. The first one (RANCOR BOY) is pouting and sending tells that we “Suck” and are “noobs”, his friend is going on about a cu-pa. It’s all very frustrating. I tell the CH to give me the pets, I will deal with it. She, rightly so, goes back and forth about trading a pet to a third party, but eventually agrees, as she is too tired to deal with this.

Ahh trade is bugged…hmmm; ok it’s off to the races. I start adding people to the group

“Every one comes to the star port, we are going to rori, and I will then give you all your pets”

We trample out of the dessert. We get to rori, the CH trades me the pets ( flea and cupa) I tell the CH to make a hasty retreat,

and that I will meet her later to go hunt, she thanks me , and says that I know have the pets. She leaves and the last three are standing there

looking at me.

“Ok, now boys!, I assume you are boys, if not please correct me, I am going to say this only twice,

after which I will simply leave, so listen up. You can not have more than two pets. If you do,

decide what you want to keep, I am sorry but that is the way it’s got to be.”

The only one who hasn’t said anything at all turns around, and says

“thanks for the ride, I just wanted to see if you would fight them, I don’t have any pets” and leaves.

“….who’s cu-pa do I have” a hand is raised; I initiate the trade, one down. He goes off to play with his new pet,

while the “Friend” starts begging me to hold on to the flea, as its Halloween, and he doesn’t want his friend to have a bad Halloween.

I look around, but don’t see Rancor boy.

“Where is he?”

“He’s coming...he launched...i am sorry please don’t kill the flea, please be patient”

“ok, well is there some reason you can’t take the flea?”

”I have a rancor too….I wanna to be a CH, but it will take time, can you hold the flea until next week? His parents made him go to sleep”

“perfect!!” so I am standing there with a pretty nice kid, who is trying to look out for his friend, but just doesn’t know what to do,

I watch as he spins around, and starts yelling at the cu-pa kid to buy his rancor, “

do it for rancor boy, come on, it will make him happy” cu-pa boy says he cant, he has a flea and a cu-pa,

“I’ll pay your 500000 credits if you destroy the cu-pa, and I will buy you another one, a better one, if you help Rancor boy”

I am sitting there, kind of woozy, and stunned, and wanting a drink or coffee or both,

and thinking to my self, what have I gotten my self into. The “friend” turns back, and begs me

“PLEASE don’t kill the flea!!!”

“Listen I know it’s a hard choice, but I don’t have room to hold an extra flea, if you can find a friend or guild mate to hold him, I can transfer it over”

“Ok, ok, ok, If you kill it you will pay!!..”

“Hmmm? Oh yeah? How so” I ask

“Wait; be patient, I have a friend in Death Valley...can you...”

“Let’s go. I got stuff to do”

by now it’s been 2hrs since I have inadvertently joined the party. We get to DV, another friend shows up;

I transfer the flea with out him knowing it, and start running for the shuttle.

“where’s the…ahh, hey can you train my flea”

the last thing I saw was the “friend” screaming NO, and backing up, while pleading with the guy to hold the flea until he could get novice CH.

Sad, but true. I felt sorry for the little guys, but after three similar experiences, and four lvl 10 pets sitting on my person from customers,

I was about to pull out my hoof pick, and say good bye to the flea.

I know you guys are frustrated about the CH Taming Necklace. I know everyone's frustrated by bugs, Mustafar, and of course our ongoing problems with the developers. But please, Creature Handlers of Galaxies, rather than make attacks on people and get into pointless flame-fests that only succeed in getting more people pissed off, is it possible for us to band together as a profession? Used to have a Smuggler... lemme tell ya, *THAT* is a forum of bitter people, but that's a kettle of fish I'd prefer not to get into here (mmm, fish...).

I didn't become a CH to go out and tame "uber l33t" pets; I did it for the simple joy of working with the animals of Galaxies. I know someone's going to jump all over my case for this, but frankly I don't care. I play this game to have fun. With that said...

If anyone has any entertaining tales about being a Creature Handler, pet taming or training, or any of the like, you're welcome to share them. This lil' Wook's going to do his level best to help make the CH forum something besides a lot of bitterness and anger. If you agree with my purpose, lend a word of support or encouragement, leave a story, or just plop down and grab a mug. Anyone else who wants to join me, can. There's always another spot by the fire in my camp.

nah really guy that's cool, I think that it's not that we have a bunch of bitter people per se`, just that we have a bunch of frustrated people, so yeah it's loads of fun to get groups together with guildmates and hand out lots a whoop @$$ with all those pets and just watch the carnage. the other day a guildie and I took on the uber talrus with 6 cats, was funny too to see all thsoe cats. and one bull.
