Orb, have you ever seen the boards fly off the handle because a post was deleted?
It's pretty interesting.

I disagree. As a master creature handler myself, I see no reason to have this skill removed/altered. It adds more depth to the game, it is a valid skill of another profession that has been in-game at this point for nearly 9 months and thus the sudden emotional outpouring against this skill is unfounded.
It is most DEFINITELY not a top issue of the creature handler community and should not be treated as such above other, much longer-standing concerns.
My indepth post on this subject can be found here.

Sorry to be the nay-sayer here, but not all of us feel as you do, and I won't back down on this issue any more than you will. I don't even HAVE this skill on my Jedi, but I will fight for the players who do.
Nothing more to say, I have the same opinion (and I replied on 2 other threads like this).

Well, if its done right the boards crash because people are ripped that the mods are silencing the community. It's tough to get, but it happens.

I personally don't think we should be the only proffession that jedi can turn our weapons against us. It should either be removed, oraltered to where we can regain control, or give jedi the ability to do that to all combat proffessions. We all know that the latter of the 3 will most likely never happen. I came to the conclusion long agothat the devs hate ch. I'll never give up ch as I love my pets, but wish there was more balance in combat for them, as well as fixing the autostore. My pets are my weapons as well as my armor since wookiee armor isn't the greatest. 
When they auto store in the middle of battle, I become a sitting duck so to say, even with my rifleman skills.

Idont agree.
Anakin could do it, it fits in the game.
Also i have had a jedi do this to me on tc2 and its very funny, and it has a chance of failing, so taking force away from the jedi without result.
If you are going after jedi with only pets, you should get your template examined.
We have much bigger problems we could use for a post accross all forums.
And only a small amount of CH's (i think) do PVP and even less will attack a jedi.
This isn't a movie its a mass marketed game. I don't care that in the movie one actor was paid to be a victim. I'm paying to play just like the person playing jedi. Balance in game play requires that every character type have a chance and a purpose or they need to delete the character class. If you are comfortable being an NPC for another paying customer then go for it. Read the other issues and you will see that is almost exactly what is happening. Not only are they giving jedi the power to use our pets against us they are making all non-jedi combatants a source offaction points.
Basically we are all given two choices now PvE or NPC fodder for jedi. Which of those are you going to pay for?

I would have to say that as a CH I don't feel this is a big deal. We won't be fighting Jedi like it's our job, we aren't BH.
I feel there are far greater issues to deal with before this one. CH has a long way to go in PvP as it is, Jedi is just a small part of that. I would like to see much over due improvments to our prof before we worry too much about Jedi.
Thanks

So we should instead fight to be better in PvP so they WOULD have a reason to use this skill against us, then wait paitently while we scream for months to have it removed? How is that a better way of going about things?

I just don't feel this is the proper time to argue for this. First off with CB upcomming the Devs are going to be wary to change any combat skill or function.
We don't even know how Ch will fit into PVP, GCW revamp is also upcomming and they may as well change things. All I'm saying is your this worried about Jedi, yet we really don't have a feel for howmany there will be and how PVP will be aginst them. Are we talking one Jedi, more than one, a team of mixed profs, on the battle feild, in a city, duels, I have no problem with you letter, however we need far more data and that takes time. I would rather see us lobby for improvments that we have needed for a long time.
If we bring this strong now we are likley to get ignored for not presenting a sound argument. If we bring it during CB with lots of data to back it up, then we might have something.
Just my thoughts though, so i could be alone in my thinking

I'll add my two cents to this... I really don't have any problem with the Jedi having a "chance" to take control of my pets so long as I have a much better chance of regaining control of them... maybe a new command? Just a thought - I did train them after all... I should be able to regain control of them.
