I totally disagree with this whole rares BS. Grinding hundreds of lairs, wild or mission, is as bad as hologrinding. It's unnecessary and boring. If rares are going to be the "thing," then add a bit of questing to them. Make it interesting.
Mindlessly grinding is not fun...repeat after me...

fixedi put it all in one post now, with the exception to the noted mire marauder color scheme necessary change
Actually, Mire Marauders are black in their colored areas, not brown like GSP's or red like CRC's...I didn't note any variance on them in that at all...I like the silvery color of the minors, so possibly make them silver to black? I really enjoyed reading your pet listing Tivo, and I've been aching to have TMB's back at the top of the food chain like they used to be. Good work hon!

Tivo. No. Never.
Never should Tortur Bulls EVER be stronger or bigger than Ravenous Tortons.
Psh.

I personally would like our pets to have a special attack like Lethal Blow that would deliver 1000 points of damage but in turn would cost us or our pets on the HAM bar, much like the specials in other professions. As of now our pets specials are pretty much a joke as the damage that they do is minimal. I think that things like poison and plague strike should be things that are built into the pets ability and that they do with out us commanding them. I snake uses poison not as a special attack but as it's attack. If a BE pet has poison disease knockdown dizzy it should be something it does intuitively not at the command of the CH.
Lethal strike is a trained command that the pet does on command, could be linked to the ability of the CH, Master 90% chance of success and on down the CH tree.
As well I would like a second command a defense command called sacrifice that means when I am in deep trouble I can command my pet to provide itself as a shield so that I can either Heal, retreat and/or heal pet. In this mode I could not attack the mob until I released the pet from sacrifice. It would absorb damage so that I could heal or escape.
Just some thoughts.

/bows to Tivo
I only added them because you did such an awesome job on the pet stat reorganization.
Personally I would like to see the Gurreck bigger and badder than the prowling or cowardly, right now it's hard or impossible to tell them apart.
Lol have you got a Merek Caveren Creeper TIVO they are really big.

Another thing: More new species! Even in our modern day society, we run into new species DAILY! Lets see some new things, especialyl on "adventure planets' where things are supposed to be little known!
And one of them better be a new model, not a variation.I want to see some sort of Squid like thing (So I can name it Cthulhu. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fthagn!)

Tivo Aak,
Make a word document, and post it.
I think we should pursue this a bit more.

Man, I never post here but I think it's time that I do just this once:
The first 'elite' proffession I ever got was CH. I remember seeing people with gurrcats and gurrecs (sp) and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Once I got it (way before all the nerfs to it) I loved it. That was before armor ruled swg and when a rancor was still a tough beast. This was when people whomanaged to get one were viewed as skilled players. This was when you died several times to get the baby. Back then was the time where the proffession was still a good one to have (supporting wise and pvp wise). Now it is a fraction of what it used to be. I mean lets face it, a rifleman can two shot kill almost any pet.
Reading your wish list makes me very sad. There are so many basic things and pleas in the there that should have been listened to. Personally, I think the major change came around when the first nerf hit CH. The ones after that only made it worse.
I sincerely hope the dev's start paying attention to you more often and that they make CH the proffession it should be. Good luck guys, im crossing my fingers for you!
