Thread: Sick and tired of poor responses to questions from TH...
We are planning 2 new mounts...No new ground vehicles (probably) until after Space.
On the Pet sitting on top of you thing, we'll have that worked out soon. On the pet tanking issue, what was the pet and did its personality change? Some pets are "cowards"...

Ya know, being nerfed for the sake of the community is one thing. But to continuiously give rather poor responses and his constant use of "poke" comments is just pathetic...
Sadly, this is almost what I expected him to say. I have almost given up hope that he will ever accept that he doesn't really know anything at all about this profession and while I am still bordeline on the whole "TH hates us and wants to get rid of us" thing, comments like that one do make me seriously wonder. I guess its along the same lines as the crafters that had so many problems with him, because until recently he had never ever doneany crafting in game(then chose architect, the fastest one to level up in, and probably dumped it a week later). He has never played CH, has no clue what it involves and is too easily swayed by the screaming masses that have been blaming all bad things on CH since day one (but have recently turned on TKM and CM it seems). What is obvious is he doesn't have a good underlying knowledge of the combat principles used by the game and I would hate to be stuck in a group with him - if he doesn't understand combat ranges I hate to think how bad a tank he is.
That's exactly right. It's an attack range issue, not some stupid cowardly pets issue like TH's thinks it may be. Does he even play this game? I often wonder that...

I'm thinking at least till publish 7. That's only if this wasn't a stealth nerf. TH's commentsleft open thepossiblity they purposely made the pets A.I. or attack range do this marathon running, hence stealth nerf. TH just dropped a bomb in commenting on the sudden dropin people opening Jedi slot, "Players are missing something", lol. You got to love his reponses, he is great at Tap Dancing dont you think.

50 credits says it lasts until publish 15 at least.
How many time already have they "fixed" a bug only to have it still there several publishes later. 
The only time I was ever able to call a pet twice from the same control device was after they "fixed" it.

For God's sake...you people absolutely kill me. He asked a simple question to try and understand the issue? If you've been a CH long enough, you know that some of the skins are inherent runners. If you've hunted bols before, they are big cowards and take off for the hills. A creatures size does not determine it's aggresiveness...heck, what would be considered one of the toughest creatures in the world we live in is not much larger than a raccoon (wolverine in case you didn't know). You all are just so jaded, that any response from a dev is taken as "they are lashing out at us...they want to intentionally nerf us". Do you really feel that the devs sit around saying "boy I really hate those ch's...let's really put the screws to them...we don't want them in our game".?
And where in that text do you see him referencing anything dealing with "poke-mon"? You say constant use but I've only seen two references to it ever and it dealt with the use of "poke-mon" type tactics which some would use if given half the chance. For some of you, no matter what a dev says, you're going to read into it and find something negative. All I can tell you is that NOTHING good EVER comes from breeding negativity.

Oh man if you aren't a CH you really have no clue.
But for all of you who are having a tough time doing PVE because your pet runs there are two fixes for it:
A) For NPC bases, have your pet target the base and kill the base. Meanwhile you wander around and kill the NPC's killing your pet. Strangely my pet hasn't run from a Base yet. Though My CL 65 razor cat ran from a durni yesterday.
B) Tie a long chain from your pets back foot to your waist, that way we can make skies and go for a ride instead of running our legs off trying to catch up. The funniest thing i have seen, and i am sorry guys it was too funny, Is three of us MCH's running after a picket that all three of our pets were attacking but running from. We must have run 500 meters before we could kill the picket and the pets quit running lol. Oh man it was funny. Of course the last part is not an option but works too, ride your pet and kill from the back of it, it won't run then and if it does, at least you are along for the ride.
Lastly TH is a dork, just had to throw that in there. He is, he has no clue what he has done to us, but the good part is, He doesn't care either.
well 1 thing that not many people if any have mentioned is that my pet cant get more than 1 mob to aggro and stick on him
example = i have a GSP out, i come up on 3 bolle bols, i send my pet in and attack the first bol, then i tellpet follow then order it to attack the 2nd bol and then the 3rd. before the patch, most of the time all 3 will stay on the pet, allowing me to pick them off 1 by 1 etc. since the patch only 1 mob will fight when u recall your pet the first mob automatically comes for you instead of staying on the pet.......
dunno if that is intentional or not. i know some mobs will aggro u as part of the creature AI but only 1 animal on my pet when there might be 3-6 within range??? if thats truly the case, then i might as well pick up melee and drop range so i dont get cnuted every time i try to kill a lair.
