As Creature Handlers, we are going to have to endure this cra-p until the rest of the community starts to use droids when the Droid Invasion launches. Then everyone will realize what these delays REALLY mean in practice.

They still aren't completely revoking it, but it seems they realized what a pain this new combat timer is. Today's update notes for Test Center:

Misc: Should no longer have a delay if using a camp or city after combat.

Now if they would just understand that it is worthless having these timers without the city or camp we would finally be moving forward.

I still don't understand the griefing concept. The only thing I can think of is that they think we'd circulate pets in and out of combat as a primary weapon, which is ridiculous. If you're using your pets as a primary weapon and not healing them you have the combat effectiveness of a C3PO droid holding a CDEF. Pets in PvE right now are complete jokes suitable only for taking a beating meant for you. It'd take ages to kill anything by circulating pets out of your datapad...you don't need a timer to prevent this because anyone doing it is taking the long way around anyway. For that to be even feesable you'd have to have different command sets for all your pets.

Listen very very very carefully devs: WE CAN'T GRIEF WITH A BROKEN PROFESSION

No amount of timers is going to do a better job of preventing us from being effective more than the complete crippling our profession recieved already.

Even if they completely removed all timers and all camp requirements from our profession, we are still going to be a support class in PvE and a complete waste of skill points in PvP. Being concerned that a CH is going to grief is like being scared of a lone squad leader in PvP.

this is fubar, plain and simple.

first off, ALL creatures CL 70 and under should spawn babies.

secondly, we should not need a camp or timer to call a pet. thats just ridiculous.

the only good thing, which no one has really talked about yet from TC is the fact that now the tameable description will be accurate (supposedly) and we will now know what has babies and what doesnt (ie frenzied graul, arachne queen, etc.)

grrrrrrrr
