Not sure if its just me but I was capped the other night at 40k for master box and it seems to be gone, I didn't respec the master box like I planned too and tonight got over 300k xp, as for tier one and novice boxes can't help there. Although i may have just had a bug where xp doesn't show up untill after you logout, Haven't seen that bug in a bit but it used to effect folks pre-cu not too long ago.

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.

You are right about this. Perhaps a better solution would be to up pets to lvl 75 max, considering the new combat system.

The 20K cap is still there for Novice Creature handlers and, from the response to the cs ticket I received, it doesn't look like it will be getting fixed any time soon. The CSR gave me the generic "thank you for your concern and this is one of our top issues" speech, referring me to article 10424, which of course makes no mention of the problem.

I have listenned to people whine and moan about the CU, and have been patient, tolerating, like others, all the little glitches and hickups. But now, my character is essentially unplayable in any meaningful fashion, and I get some schmoe at SOE giving me the generic "yeah-yeah shut up" response. Can anyone in the know let us know if the situation is actuallybeing looked into and when it will be fixed?

This is the main one that really kills it for me. Not because we can't call that one pet, but we can't call multiple pets that we used too. I.E. I always hunted with my Twin Grauls, level 35 in the old system. They are now both level 51 in the new system. Granted, I know with the new system, it's more effective to hunt with one critter instead of two or more, but isn't the "role" for CH to be able to adapt?

We are supposed to be able to switch back and forth to either Mob one enemy, or take several enemies. Granted, it's nice that I can pull one critter at a time from a lair, (haven't tried this with NPC lairs yet, will have to check it out today) and go at it one at a time, unlike having to go against all of them at once, but if I'm going against that one NPC that has aTank templet, my two low levels ain't gonna do much to it, because their level is easy kill against them, even if grouped with me.

I know raising it to 80 would be pretty good, but why not raise it to 100, there are plenty of critters out there that are well over that level, and it would alow us to utilize more of the pets we have now in teams that we used in the past.

Itotally agree!!!!!!!!!! Man i got so stuck from this CU, I'm a master Ranger, and Master CH.. Some way I received a Combat Level 80, No waycan Itake on a Creature, NPC, or Person with the same CL and win. I have depended on my pets to get me thru some tough situtaions. Now the best thingI can do is call 3 smaller ones and have them guard me now and let them die as i run like a cowardly kid. I can't drop either of my two professions cause i love them to much. Please fix the level so we can survive, again with our pets, Whats the point of having creatures if we need to have a master combat skill to survive using them.

Your 5 points are good, but please add the terrible speed that pets have now - none of my pets follow automatically, needing constant urging to keep with me. Their speed is so bad it holds all the group up and I have to store them - leaving me without my weapons as I am a TK tank - mainly defense now. Its like telling all the combat professions to load up on armour and leave their weapon at the OP.

Aaaah they still havent fixed the CH xp bug and this is a kind of thing that should be fixed immediately when the first bug report arrives.

Personally I wonder what is happening during downtimes??????

the fact that /healpet does not work and that you cannot see pet stats is more important than anything mentioned thus far.

gg though.

edit well i guess he xp cap prolly is sort of important for the noob CHs. I retract the prior statement.

Something else to consider for a top 5, It is very, very easy for pets in PvP especially to get bugged into where they will not move and will not attack, and just sit around in an attacking posture, while you get to face your opponent alone. Not fun.

Pets not attacking is driving me insane.

Pets not following is driving me insane.

Pets not holding any aggro is driving me insane.

Pets converted into crap or unusable drove me insane.

Trying to tame new pets with mask scent breaking is driving me insane.

But... I agree that being stuck at 20k xp is the top issue because that would drive me totally insane.

Two issues break CH when it comes to taming:

Mask scent breaking too often.

"Can't Tame That" bug, which crops up when you run away from ababy to lose aggro, then go to tame it again. This is extremely frustrating when you're working on taming a baby with multiple failures and the bug kicks in killing any changes of taming something. What's bad is you are out in the middle of nowhere trying to tame a creature and the only thing you can do is give up and leave.

These bugs need priority.

Well, this really sux!

A little history first:

I started playing SWG during publish 8 (droids rebuilt). I played for about 9 months straight everyday. About 2 months b4 the CU I decided that enough was enough, plus i had read soooo many negative things about the CU, so i quit the game. But first, I deleted all my charactors, then cancelled account.

I kept up with the boards and after the CU went live I thought I might as well try it out.

So, 2 weeks ago I sign back up and created a toon on Chalrista (or whatever) and mastered BH, Carbineer, and Marksman, plus added in Pistoller 0003 and got glowie (pretty good for 2 weeks). Anyway that server is for PvP, but what about PvE.......

So I started another toon on another server to become a Master Scout, Master CH, and Master Ranger, plus marksman 4004.

So now my point:

The damn CH cap is 20k, what the hell is this! How can I master CH now, I can't. Since I started my toon after CU I can't respect either..............

I dunno,I agree it's frustrating for you who can't tame. But I'm not even using my new character that's novice CH now, not for a few days anyhow. Because I can't even level in CH. It's the only things keeping me in this game, and that's saying a lot since this is my new character from getting my jedi. That doesn't interest me much due to it not being special anymore and almost impossible to solo-level.
