Creature Handler Archive

with crap like this being done i'm surprised that

more people have not left the game!!!!

how can they STILL have jobs??

This is just like what happend to Ultima Online when EA aqquired Origin Systems. They pushed all this expansion updates out as fast as they could and never bothered to fix all the old bugs. It wasn't until a few years ago when basically the entire Dev Team was replaced that things got done. Now I am not saying that is what needs to be done here, but what I am saying is that fixing current bugs needs to take priority over adding new things.

Or maybe even "single-spawn mobs now respawn and can occassionally spawn a baby, as the 'tameable' in their /examine suggets."

I havent had chance to check properly on Tc atthe minuite,short of time at the moment,but I did see a Peko albatross today, and whilst they are obviously not tamable, they have also been as rare as all the other single spawn mobs we are interested in, so it may be a stealth fix, I hope to have some time over the weekend to check further.


As an aside, cats are still as slow as live, so no fix there

Well, I dunno about you guys but I really, REALLY thought that we needed this new pet icon. I mean, after all... what good is a pet without a proper icon, I ask you?

Creature Handler:

• Pets in groups now get their own special "pet" role icon

I mean come ON, what is going on over there?

Oh man I hope they don't think this is the fix for "PET SPECIALS" !!!!

Tiggs: Hey CH's we fixed Pet Specials! They now have their own SPECIAL icon! Isn't that cool?

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh, if it's easy, they'll do it.

I wonder if someone has a poster of that in the Austin offices.

Seriously I too am questioning what the hell is going on with them? This just goes on the pile of things that are not helping the situation.

Stupid things I have heard the devs shoot out over the last few weeks.

Planning to reduce force use cost by half. Fixing a situation where multiple bounty hunters could take the same mission and attack the same jedi. Yeah those jedi are so weak why would anyone need more then himself to take it down. They did another level pass on pets. Oh goody if you found a way to get better ham with your pet tough new leveling again. Well maybe their should have been some focus on getting us the specials first. Multipassenger vehicles. Explain this one to me. Everyone pointed out obvious exploitability.

Here is what is happening. Mission 1 make the jedi more uber. If they cannot slay anything that comes close to them with ease it just aint rineht. Mission 2 whatever you do add more meaningless content. Mission 3 run a add campaign on tv that shows the game for what it is not.

I am seriously wondering why I am paying for the game I am playing it maybe once a week. The combat balance is a joke especially when you see that jedi got to sneak through unharmed. PVP fun is like going to a playdate. Oh joy fight for 2 minutes and wait five to re overt. PVE has gone to long drawn out mediocrity. Seriously the game has gone from playable to annoying.

Here are my favorite bugs of the moment and poorly thought out decissions.

Lets make medic useless, but for giggles lets disable the cloners on all the advanced worlds. That way everyone has to sit in a medcenter for hours healing. Lets make wearing armor a chore you know to annoy people. Lets make missions take around ten minutes to complete. That makes things fun. Finally to be real jerks lets make the only way to level up be doing missions. Seriously why am I spending money on this its gone from it could be better. To this is not fun at all, and its not fun at all.

Am I the only one thinking this game was a far supperior product at launch then it is now. Atleast then you could get into a fun hardfought fight with creatures, and even have fun fighting other people. Nobody was looking for uber but what they needed, and people had fun doing whatever. Hell everytime you find a run around to have a good time. These guys shut the door shut. Hey wait a minute it looks like your haveing fun we cannot have any of that.

Well, this is not a publish... it's a bug fix (I believe). So I am sure the devs would say, "Guys we just noted a little new feature we added, no biggie."

BUT... given all the massive, rampant bugs in CH, putting this under Creature Handler in the patch notes is a major PR blunder. They should've put it in the UI section and just left CH blank. This way, it looks like they think it is something that will really improve the prof, when in fact it is totally irrelevent to all CHs everywhere.

I don't know who is running their PR section but whoever it is needs to be fired and replaced by someone who knows what he is doing.

I hear ya, my wife's character was a dancer / doctor...lol And the add, did any of you hear the part about Yoda being in the game? It says you can meet Yoda. It also says you can fly with Han Solo?? Are they even playing the same game? They said they knew the pet specials do not work. Well elemental damage didnt work, it is supposedly fixed on test. So where is the pet special fix? They gave us something....I just don't know what to do with it....lol
