Creature Handler Archive

Shrinking the animalsthis much is just sadistic and cruel. Riding a savage humbaba with two giant veermoks flanking me on the side was one of my great joys in this game. They look like toys now. Making more creatures useful to us is a good step forward, but they all seem so generic after these changes. I would especially like to know if all these new tamable animals is just a bug, because I have a flight out of the country later tonight. If this is only a limited opportunity, I would like to take advantage of it with what little time I have left....

Pets following, Attack and guard are still broken.

You can dupe your pet to attack using a "Follow Target" Command, which works 75% of the time although outright attack should be prefered.

Pet Response to Command Distance, is pretty useless.

Pre CU a yelled command would be useful 100m+ away.

Currently about 50m if your lucky.

Although I do not think your pet knows where you are most of the time anyway.

Many (if not all) have been stated, but feel it's worth repeating for emphasis and to point out they are widespread:

1) Formerly giant creatures are teeny tiny. I dwarf my Giant Veers and almost stepped on my Giant Sand Beetle. My Mountain Wort could fit in my pocket. One of the aspects of CH pets in the original SWG design was that they'd always grow to be larger than any found in the wild. Oddly, my Fambaa and Ravenous Torton are still huge.

2) Anything I try to tame aggros and attacks.

3) Animals that are yellow on my radar are attacking.

4) It seems like pet use is now tied to CL in addition to your CH skills. I am a Master CH with Novice Rifleman and some Marksman. My CL is 63. My Boar Wolf converted from 25 to 66 and I am unable to pull him.

5) Just a point of logic for the devs, but how about instead of letting people respec BE creatures to an unusable level, you just cripple them to level 70 max? You were able to work this mojo during the great level 10 "pet exchange" era. Likewise my Giant Carion got crippled when I made it into a mount.

6) Useless pet stims.

7) Pets not following unless you spam it after they kill something.

8) For the people mentioning the increase in babies, I suspect this was done on purpose to allow us to get our XP more from tame/train than killing. I trained a level 22 creature and got 440XP per command ---- probably actually an effort to help people grind the millions of points now needed, which would have been a nightmare under the old CH XP scheme.

9) Some of the conversions seem wacky --- my previously 25 boar is 66, while a pretty decent 22 mini-tank rat I had is now down to 16.

This is not game breaking and there are more pressing issues but is there any chance in the future of having the tame command automaticallyturn off theauto-attack.

I was thinking of the training XP for precisely the reason you mentioned --- I've yet to fight something that gives over 1 XP. (Going to the Village, so hopefully that will change). However, when you figure 440 XP from training times 15+ commands (plus the taming XP), it seems like you could easily rack up XP by taming things well beaneath your level.

serioiusly, ch is rediculous now.. theorb i swear your "suprise" better be good. cause things are looking grim

Technically I didn't discover it, Dodece did most of the finding out of things....I just came along for the ride

Since you can't do special attacks from a mount and the fact that EVERY attack after the CU is considered a "special" attack we can't even fire basic shots while mounted.

Hello everyone this is my first time to post in the CH forum.

I've noticed that my petsare having two problems.

1.) 50% of the time they do no damage to another wild animal they are attacking.

2.) When I have multi-pets pulled only one attacks. Both do not attack.

Anyone else having these problems?

tested: had banked pre-cu 160,000 points of ch (not scout), grinded scout to the 35k needed for the novice ch box - gained it through game npc in coronet trainer by bank. first use of a ch lvl 11 pet resulted in a loss of 140,000 xp - displayed in the combat window - no gain of ch xp with successful use of pet and self in combat.

verified: exchanged the 20k of ch points at village for FS xp - 6 ch points remaining - used ch lvl 11 pet in successful gains of ch xp until 20k. At 20k of ch - no system message - no gains - now stuck
