I got a level 70 gurreck (6000+ HAM) and a level 69 rancor(7000+HAM)both with over 400 damage and they have both grown up just fine. They are HUGE though.
Is the Ranc bigger than a classic BULL ?
That would be nuts - those Bull Rancs are monsters already.
Sounds cool at first, but it's really not.
Pet size scaling based on level is a novelty designed to distract from the blandness of the level system.

Man it seems like every recent 'fix' and 'patch' and 'update' has been done with a mantra of SHORTSIGHTEDNESS.
The 'Level' system itself - sure makes it easy to balance the many mobs and whip out new planets faster - but at what cost?
The Respec - sounds great - but what a mess - there was no way it wasn't going to be a mess - should never have happened.
The 'Crafting Changes' -Balanced, sure - But the art of making the best foods, armor, weapons, and PETS, hasbeen reduced topaint-by-number kits.
Of course the classic shortsighted SWG blunder of all time:
Jedi - sure it sounds neat to put them into the game - gives people an 'ultimate goal' of sorts - but you can't let ONE do it without letting ALL do it.

I agree, Jedi are non-heterosexual.
On a completely different note, is it really scaling based on level?Thelevel 70 kusakI made is mammoth-like, but my level 70 malkloc I made is smaller than most malklocs, and made of about the same DNA as the kusak. Would have thought he'd turn out tobe bigger than the Executor.

it depends on the level of the natural beast. as natural malklocs are cl75 a cl70 malkloc will be smaller. kusaks are in the 40s i think, so a cl70 will be way higher and way bigger then their natural relatives.
u wont get a huge be kimoglias for that reason, but enormous fambaas. just imagine what a cl70 wombrat would look like.

Yup, consider that fambaa are already quite large in the wild, and they're CL 22.
Now imagine what a CL 70 BE fambaa is going to be like.
The devs have opened a pandora's box with this one. It's going to seriously bite them in the tuckus.
What they need to do is have customizable pet sizes as part of the deeding process, and only allow a slight increase over natural size for the skins at higher levels. This will allow people to have cute little eopies and mini kimos and stuff like that as "show pets" as opposed to "fighting pets". At the same time, it won't allow terribly oversized creatures to wander about andfoment even moreCH hate by filling up screens.

"Well, is it full grown already? The "YOU ARE A N00B, QUIT TRYING TO HAVE FUN WITH INVALID PETS" message apparently strikes when goods BE pets are fully grown...."
No, he sin't full grown yet, but other pets I've made have kept the health that was given during crafting. I'm pretty sure it's just the To Hit, Armor Effectiveness, Def, and Regen that shift according to DL.

The size of my best post-CU cat is impressive - but I can't use him. I feel such a fool walking round with him!
What are the stats on your best post cu cat? I made a 49 that has 8400 health and 35% state resist, It comes to my waist. Maybe you could get a lower DL, with bumped up stats?

... and more time goes by with me having little to no motivation to replace my BE pets that the CU ruined with new pets .... I don't want a Kusak the size of a frickin' Clydesdale and anybody who thought I would is obviously living the good California life, complete with herbal medicinal supplements .....

I think they did this so that they have an excuse to nerf us again.. "people were complaining about the enormous size of pets so we decided that it is best to make all pets the same exact size.. the size of langlatches so no one, even the CH, can see thier pet anymore."
