In all honesty comparing creature pets to faction support personnel is like comparing appels to ornages. In any which case are you sure you not able to call a trooper on top of your creature? You see same rule works for droids as in only 1 pets at a time but I am able to call my stormtrooper still...

I think we will be able to call faction pets / droids irrespective of what creatures we have out (as long as it doesnt mean >3 pets). NPC's dont have challenge ratings, which is what they are basing the limit on.

What you think they just hand out faction pets at the nearest recruitment office? I am not saying my trooper should beat your rancor. I spend tonnes & tonnes of time & effort getting those faction points so I can have personnel support and at a higher risk, as I said a neutral can be a CH with little danger when I have to be factioned & overt.

By your theory the Rebel & Imperial forces should all be discharged and replaced with all creature handlers as they are the superior warrior, not only can you control the mighty rancor you still have points to spare on offensive skills yourselves... only the foolish would use inferior forces right?






have seen the new fation costs on test? lowest pets are now 100FP and AT-ST is 9K

Heads-up on a change...

...unfortunately, it is probably one you won't like.

There are currently two tamable creatures that are unbalanced due to an abnormally high armor rating. The Gurreck & Giant Sand Beetle are going to have their armor changed from Medium to Light.

We're going to have to go through the armor ratings for all creatures, particularly tamable ones, in the near future, to catch any other glitches like this one.

For those of you who have managed to obtain a faction pet (Stormtrooper or Rebel equivalent) I wanted to ask - is there a "Group" command to have them join your group, and if so, do you get the same XP bonus as having a creature pet grouped with you? That's a nice little 27% bonus!

the /group command works for my specforce marine. just type /group. they'll join. don't know about the XP. didn't notice any difference but i haven't been doing any faction missions lately. been grinding to CH for some more help against ST's.

What determines how many faction pets a person can have out at once? Their rank in the Empire or Rebellion? Or something else?

I think it's going to change, but at the moment only one faction pet can be pulled at a time...period.

Even if it does not, you still need to be OVERT to use a faction pet. That is just a whole other can of worms.
