Creature Handler Archive

Ko, good list, number one is definitely the most pressing, and the easiest one to fix, if we can ever get the devs to pay attention to it. It's also far and away the most emblematic of the deplorable lack of professionalism and attention to detail of the SWG development team overall. There should be people in unemployment lines for this oversight.

I'd like you to include the folloing in your issues if at all possible:

Pet speeds when following a mount, and the speed at which cats move. Cats were severely nerfed in the CU and now no longer dash at mad speeds to attack, which is one of the reasons to have them. I note that peko pekos no longer bolt away at high speeds in the wild, either, and this is an emersion problem. Now, the mount thing is very much an RP issue from my perspective, and I know the developers hold RP oriented players in contempt, so I don't know if bringing it up will fall on deaf ears or not, probably will.

To me, this is one of the great things about CH

Even we masters, who have put the grind behind us, are vocal in support of new members of the brotherhood of creature handlers. I screamed about the two pets out for XP nerf, and I'll scream about the XP caps. We've got to take care of members of our profession who are just starting out.

And we do. The scouts and rangers are good about this, too, and it makes me proud of all the scout based professions, looking out for their own, knowing that they've walked the path as well and it matters that those walking it now get every consideration and all the support that we can give them.

This is so true. Thank you for your support Sio.Thehelpful community is part of the reason why i am scout/ CH/ ranger.

I have a lvl 197 Zucca boar in my datapad that I can't call.

It didn't convert properly in the CU and CSR couldn't help me.

1. CH XP caps at 20K XP, Tier 1 boxes require 175K.

Pretty obvious issue, totally gates new players entering the profession.

The worst bug of all. Needs to be addressed first.

bad part of the update

starting to look that way isn't it?

I agree with these comments, but a level 80 pet would be unbalancing. Creature Handler is a single combat class. That means that whatever pet you call should at max be what a single elite combat profession master's level would be, (I'm not sure what that works out to be). Does that make sense? If you had a level 80 pet at your beck and call, AND were a master commando to boot..... Well, creature handlers would get beaten back with the nerf stick so badly you'd probably be more lethal as a novice musician.

Why does everyone keep saying that using low level pets in multiples is no longer an option? When I did the Varactyl quest, I was using my Plains Hunter, my Dalyrake Matriarch on range, and my Mountain Worrt on range. I was with one other person who happend to be there at the same time the big one spawned, we grouped up. He was using a Gaping Spider of some kind. I let my Plains Hunter tank, and the rest of the pets did the damage, Thing went down fairly easy, and its 55 elite. Neither one of us (myself or the guy I was with) had any combat skills of our own, both just using the high level guns. So clearly, those pets were effective enough to take down something 25 levels higher than my highest pet. Granted, without the very high HAM of my elite pet, it wouldn't have been as easy to tank it, but my pet only got about 1/3 of the way down in health. Thats only about 3.5k at most, and even a decent pet in the 30's has that kind of HAM.
