Creature Handler Archive

It's Friday afternoon, 1 hour from finishing work and I just couldn't resist putting this one in, bare with me

/petDetonate

You load your pet up with sticks of dynamite and send it off to follow the enemy.....trigger command and BOOM !

.....erm, maybe I shouldn't be a Creature Handler It's just the thought of the look on the face of the little Nuna, loaded down with dynamite and hobbling off towards a Nightsister has got to raise a smile with even the biggest pet lover.

The crazy thing is this would be really easy to add to the game as this is how Bounty Hunter/Smugglers bomb droids work.

Sorry...I'll get my coat

A "root" special called something like, oh let's say "pinning attack" ???

I like the idea of a Beast of Burden special where the pet could carry a certain number of items for us.

How about /petScary

small AOE low damage attack that scares creatures and/or NPCs so they run away for a short period. Maybe have CL limits so that a CL1 couldn't scare CL80's

(although it would be funny if Nightsisters were afraid of spiders )

I think a conceal type ability would be cool.

Like a chemeleon changing colors to match its enviroment

Fleet Footed was a disapoint me to me. I would like to see a skill that will really increase a pets movement. I would use a pet mount over a speeder if they even came close to the same speed. Fleet Footed as it is now seems pretty useless. Now if there was only a way to remove it, my poor Varactyl is stuck with level 1 and 2.

Something else I would like to seeis to Shrink pets, one thing I don't like about using certain pets is they tower over everything and hamper vision. I get people asking me not to use them because they can't see what they are doing. This though would seem not viable for all pets, such as pets that are already really small or mountable pets. My thought is call it Stunted Growth, they never get bigger than their baby size. If used on a mountable pet, it never gains the ability to be mounted could be the solution.

Feign Death sounds good to me too, not only do they shake off agro from whatever they were attacking they should lose agro on their target as well so if you stand them up they don't go right back tofighting. The levels could be how effective it is.

How about a quick grow special.

Waiting to level up a brack for a mount or a larger pet because you have to "grind" it totally bites a the ballpark frank. All they did was replace small weaker babies with small adults unable to grow in size for a casual player. Ah theres the crux "the casual player" CH is no longer as much fun for a causual player since you need to be a powergrinder to even experience your pet growing upbefore your eyes. Pets are nothing but a combat time sink now.

Its time to stop clapping and praising them for all these beautiful skills when all they have done is turn CH into a FS Village grind and removed one of the most fun aspects about CH, Babies do not exist regardless of the titles on the pet and growth based on combat is about as exciting as fondling myself watching the 6 o-clock news.

Sorry but this new system has totally turned me off of being a CH and I am considering my lastrespec and leaving. I have been a CH since the Fall of 2003 and while I don't post much I have always enjoyed this class for many reasons. Untill now that it. The CH class has become popular to many newer players and soe decided to keep em grinding longer to keep em playing and then people here thanked them for it. A grind is not a game.

I'l post in another thread "maybe the dailybug thread about pet xp" lol pet xp = even pets must earn xp now doesn't that say it all. Totally disgusting and unacceptable.

/end rant

Not all of us are students and can skip classes and play all the time Gram

Oh and I am leaving and not because im a whining baby it's because this profession is just as bad as it ever was and no one hear wnants to admit it. I suggest growing a pair and looking at the whole picture before calling people babies and unacceptable of change, This change was nothing but an added grind and you know it. But won't admit it because "oh devs luv us and know whats best" attitude is the only attitude left here after the cu caused all the people with a pair to leave.

LOL Thanks I haven't been called a student in a LOOOONG time! 30+ years as a matter of fact LOL!

I am a 52 year old adult who works full time and I play the game 3 or 4 hours an evening 3 or 4 nights a week.I play half a day on Sat. and maybe another 4 hours on Sun. unless there is something going on for the weekend and then I don't play at all.

I just find all the crying about the CH proff and levelling pets and learning specials is so pathetic. It simply is NOT THAT HARD TO DO even casually. Heck I spent the last 2 nights on LOK with my newly tamed BE CL35 Gurrcats. I was hunting anything with Reptile meat. The cats rolled over training xp multiple times and I have been able to teach them 5 abilities. I am hoping they will unlock a couple more training slots so I can give them each 2 more abilities. This was in2 NIGHTS OF PLAY for a total of about 6 hours. I was growing my pets, teaching them abilities, harvesting a good spawn of Reptile meat, and Hunting with friends. Now what part of that equals an unacceptable grind?

Over the last 3 or 4 weeks I have found and learned all the L1 abilities (minus Pin of course) and all the L2 except Aggression (again minus L2 PIN). I have also learned 4 L3 abilities. It's been a blast taming again. I still have some L3 abilites to find as well as that last L2. What about all this is NOT fun? I just don't understand the cry babies. Things change, get used to it, grow up and move on. The alternative is to cry, get angry, become bitter, and then quit. Far to many people take that route.

Beware youngPadawan for that path leads to the Darkside. Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to Suffering!

You know the large pets like full grown rancors and grauls id like to see an ability that lets them pick up enmies like on some of the console games like a combo or something then smash them in to the ground with affects like a knockdown attack in therory it would be like an unstoppable combo attack in the air.Also an area knockdown attack in which the creature stomps/hits the ground knock down affects only.Finally a Special Attack that does tripple damage but has a rather long charge time to avoid totally uber pets.
