When you destroy the datapad icon, it says you release your pet back into the wild... who's actually killing babies?! Tame the little buggers!









Yeah, thats what we all WANT to believe.

In actuality, it FIRST asks you if you want to destroy the baby.
So what you're really releasing to back to the wild is just a carcass.

Oh NO, Gimp.

When I release mine into the wild, I alway chant, "Go FREE, little one, go FREE!"


Don't tell me they are not scampering happily out there somewhere--parentless and starving, but happily nonetheless.

Nope, not getting senile. We actuallycould release them into the wild. They would just kind of stand around, but you couldn't tame them again. However, they nerfed that because some CH's would fight club their pets, taming a baby and releasing it, then having another baby attack that first one, getting max xp. So they got rid of that release method to "fix" that...and we've been getting fixed ever since....

I heard they "fixed" it after people started releasing rancors in the cantina.

THAT would've been a sight to see!



So instead, now we just have to kill them to get them out of our datapad.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

The released babies, um, go to a beautiful farm. Yeah, with lots of trees, grass, and bunnies.
But, we can't visit them because, er, well, we just can't.

Actually, you COULD retame the baby, but you'd get no XP for the tame. Sometimes it would grow a notch and no longer be a baby, though, and therefore untamable. There were many seemingly wild babies running around with names, given to them prior to TTR...so that anotherCH would know that it had already been tamed once and there was no sense in taming it again for XP.


My understanding was that the real problem with "in the world" released pets was a$$hat CHs releasing aggro creatures like rancors in the middle of cities to create chaos. This was when CH was the original FOTM profession.

Instead of poacher i thionk changing the proff name to baby snatchers is more appropriate



just forget about the time line it nolonger exits her hasn't for some time. we're in a virtual star wars universe and it our time line not the movies. so its what we make of this universe ourselves. once this is realized then you'll start having fun
