Thread: Seems that CH isn't as unpopular as Tiggs says
Kudos to ya, man, for sticking up for your g/f's profession.
And Garva's post, quoted here, seems to undermine the "1% Masteries" that Tiggs quoted:

Creature Handler is the 10th MOST POPULAR MASTERED PROFESSION! If all those others are below 1%, as Tiggs claims CH is, then DELETE ALL OF THEM TOO!!

Let the devs, with all their lies, Axe CH, let them take away all the pets from players, since we all know that in the movies No one had a pet at all....Ok, We got that...
not so, remember the unnamed fat guy who was the rancor keeper in jabba's palace. I want to pattern my character after that iconic character!
Try Reading my WHOLE POST next time...I was being sarcastic.
I'm upset over this whole things just as much as you all were...sorry my sarcasim didn't show through but that was meantfor he devs.

Like I said before, if you have any ideas on how to itinigrate it in the system after you play it on TC, please let me know. I will forward it directly to Julio and the Dev team.
They aren't set out to destroy the CH prof guys.
I have a good idea. Might keep some people playing the game too.
1. Delete everything having to do with the announcement regarding the NGE.
2. Send an email of apology to every single person who purchased the TOOW expansion for lying to them in order to get them to buy an expansion.
3. Apologize via email to anyone who played a class for over two years that was supposed to get balanced, and never did (ie smugglers).
4. Apologize to all the old jedi characters who busted their rump to get something people will now be able to get (presumably) by clicking a box.
5. Apply no changes for at least another six months, and in that time, if they really need to apply the NGE, use that time to FIND a way to allow ALL players to feel included in the change, and to not disrespect the years of hard work by tossing out professions without so much as a "by your leave..."
Bear in mind, I dont necessarily have a problem with the changes themselves on the whole. But to exclude, even 1% of the playerbase simply because you cannot find a way to include them is incompetence at its most extreme. And that is assuming it is 1%, which as we have all established, it clearly is not.
Here is the list from the Friday Feature dated Aug 19, less than three months ago! The list goes from the least played at the top to the most played at the bottom ... Altho' no percentages are given, you can see that CH falls in the top half of the list! Either this list is innacurate or a whole lot of CHs left the game in thosecouple ofmonths, or someone is not telling us the truth or the real reason CH is being eliminated! I'd like to see a current picture of Tiggs ... bet she has a really really really long nose now

Most Valid Points and I would like to add my tuppence worth !
I loved CH when SWG started and I was there at the near beginning ! CH needed a revamp as most professions did and BOY did we get one. AMAZING ! LOVED IT ! Bugs - YES, buy hey, it's an online game and for all the slamming our correspondants get, they are worked through, maybe not at a blinding pace but they are worked. ..... AND I SAW MORE AND MORE PEOPLE RETURNING TO CH AS IT WAS A USEFUL AND ENJOYABLE PROFESSION ! UNIQUE !!!!!!
Has everyone forgotten that we have the MOST COMPREHENSIVE ... EXTERNAL... website alongside swgcraft ??? SWGCREATURES ........ How does this class us in the 1% ???????????
Take any of the posted lists and pick a quiet profession and show me an external website with as many hits as swgcreatures.com.
TIGGS your math SUX. I know what SOE is doing with bringing it inline with a STAR WARS FEEL, and I understand that CH does not appear in any of the movies in any great role, HOWEVER ..........
CH IS A MAJOR ROLE NOW. YOU DEVELOPED IT. YOU CREATED IT ! IT IS PART OF THE UNIQUENESS THAT MAKES SWG ------ SWG !!!
When are you going to realise that you can only turn the game into a Star Wars Feel so much, before you ELIMINATE ALL your curent clients.
If that is your theory and you have done your RISK ANALYSIS and decided that you can afford it, then BOOOYAH to you ! Your just another large corporate monster only interested in the bottom end !
If you have the BALLS SOE ... try putting it to the test. PUT POLLS to the masses. A simple YES/NO poll will do on maybe 20 questions right after the SIGN IN on the game, that way EVERYONE HAS TO GET A SAY. MAKE IT OBLIGITORY ! SIMPLE questions that will give you a PROPER POPULOUS OPINION of how they feel about the changes.
i.e. Do you thing CH should have a role in NGE ? Do you thing BE should have a role in NGE ? We are not complaining about changing the gameplay. WE ALL HAVE PUT UP WITH ALL YOUR CHANGES SINCE DAY ONE ! ALOT OF US ARE STILL HERE !
BUT .... who was I to think that one day, of all the nerfs / changes / improvements / CU's and enhancements that ME MYSELF,would be NERFED !
