I heard a rumor that there is a byg and pets that die from tefs and being overt still get vitality loss.

Ok I hear that all the time and am starting to get a little jealous I spend most of my time not at "home" on Tatt on Dathomir and I have never ever had my speeder shot out from under me.

Hmmm I think maybe someone has a small problem.
AGAIN, I don't think mounts are any more or less classy.
On Dath or high level planets I find that because mounts move slower you get aggroed more. Generally high end mobs while on a mount will attack you. Either way you will die, unless you are uber leet profession.
Secondly Vehicles get you place to place faster, usually outrun Agro, but if you don't they generally attack vehicle, disable it. Kill you or see above about FOTM. Then you can still repair your vehicle.
Lastly, when I am on Dath I run, that gives me a better chance to avoid the MOBs that can kill me and I will see more babies.
Choice is yours though isn't it.

I believe I said that getting TH in game would be great if it happened, but I was pessimistic about the chances of it happening. This is hardly 'blazing away' as you so eloquently put it.
I was in favour of Pluto's idea but didn't think it likely that TH would honour it.
Hardly a personal attack on Pluto's post methinks......

Liberation,
We are often on the other side of the equations.
Secondly, how do you know I was being sarcastic. Truth is truth, mounts tend to be slower and make you more vunerable. The uncalled for assumption that I was being sarcastic was uncalled for. You Assumed. You don't know.
So you made a judgement on me. I made one on you. Take a happy pill, that post somehow mysteriously disappeared. Go figure.
You have been often opposed and being pessimistic about our chances isn't going to help TH come on board or TIggs or both of them. Some how we have to be optimistic even if we don't feel optimistic.
Hey I have had those grouchy days too. And I needed my happy pill, whether it's a joke or a new outlook on the game.
I can tell you not playing SWG for a while does help. I am still slightly optimistic we are going to see some thing CR wise, but my optimism is being sorely tested.
Anyway, I use both mounts and vehicles, depends where I am and what I feel like doing but not on Dath, I have had too many speeders shot out from under me to ride there.

I find Mounts very usefully when doing long groups of missions. were you only have to travel less than 1000m inbetween missions. I have aLesser PlainsBolthat I assigned the attack command different than my tanks so he would get beat up all the time. Plus it's cool to have a Big Creature following you while riding on a mount, Very Classy.

BTW I mean my mount wouldn't get beat up all the time, damn this no editing till a veteran on the board.

i like mounts. i use my vehicle if i'm traveling a long distance or i am an a hurry, otherwise i use one ofmy three mounts. for some reason it just feels cool to ride up to the starport on the back of a bantha.
