I agree, since I knew Jabba doesn't and would never ride a Rancor (he's too big for one, and the rancor would make him into a meal that'd last for a week), I thought you meant one of the Gammoreeans or something...

Yeah guys, I know the bugfixes are a very high priority. They've been passed along to the Devs, so there's not really much more to discuss in that regard here.


A feature request like cool new mounts would undoubtably take time to do. I think it would be wise to multi-task and at least put it on the table, so the Devs can work it in at the best time.


Thanks for all the feedback, by the way. I think the general consensus does seem to be a desire for cool "CH-specific" or "Master CH specific" mounts as a faction perk (similar to the cool weapons that members of other professions get certed for).

Exactly, have a cool mount for mid lvl C/H, but also a mount specific only to MCH, preferably a flier (Giant Peko Peko!) And while we are at it....go with the mounted attack suggestion for MCH only!! This would be great! Flying mount should be FAST.


Vertexon.....you going to be at the FanFest?

hehe, I can just imagine a squadron of flying mounts (probably peko pekos) zooming over the forests in a group, if ppl could fight while on a flying mount, imagine the disorder a squadron of those would cause in PVP


hell, ppl could form 'air wings' or 'squadrons' of them for pvp and 'dogfight' each other. it wouldn't be much of a dogfight, but it would be exhilrating.

Sounds like Planetside, i hope its "ok" to mention another SOE product unlike mentioning "WoW." But i must say This game would be much more involved if our Battlefields worked like PS. Where actual aiming ability is taken into account rather than eyeshot spam.

Again, I think mounts should be able for MCHs or high CHs to be able to attack while being rode.

Vert I think you hit the nail on the head there.
The Devs know our problems (well Vert has told them at least) and there is already a petition for the higher level creatures to start spawning babies (go and sign if you haven't ).

I would vote for a CH/Master CH specific mount that could keep up with the speed of vehicles, and maybe have a some sought of use in combat. I could see how riding a Rancor would be cool but I think most people would get tired of it pretty quickly, it would not be very useful. It would be a much better I idea to travel in a vehicle and pull out the Rancor when you get to your destination it would just take a lot less time, Rancors are too slow, not to mention Grauls.

As to making mounts future and present more useful take a look at Pluto9Moon's post "Animal Armor/PvP/Mounted weapons." (sorry I don't know how to link to a post, feel free to tell me how for future reference ) I just bumped it to make it easy to find.

I think they need a fast mount available to all, fast as in atleast as fast as a Landspeeder so CH's could compete with vehicle crafters and make a little money

(C) Want to keep it as a high level/Master CH only perk

Coolness effect is great; I'm a big fan of it. And I love the idea of a MCH mount!

Bring on my Flying Throne!










Maybe they could bring back Giant Peko Peko babies and have them be mounted it'd be like riding a petrosaur or something. Wonder why they removed giant peko peko babies in the first place?
