I am stunned beyond belief.
My most played char is a MCH/MBE currently, just got MBE shortly before ToOW, because I couldn't find anyone to sell me CL70 pets.
I bought the expansion for the sole reason of getting CL80 pets.

Soooo ... what do I do now? My CH char is totally useless, the expansion seems like wasted 30 bucks ... I have pretty much no knowledge of legaleese, but isn't there a fraud in here somewhere?

Also ... why did they waste tons of development times on a CH revamp if the whole profession is just deleted 2 months later?

To Ko-aRi: Thanks for the work you did for us.

I think I know..more of a theory...notice it was Julio that announced this. All other announcements of game changes have been via SOE, not LA.

Well, it looks like the people that wanted LA to take control got what they wanted.

Just remember, LucasArts idea of a "deep, rich" game is Battlefront.

I support removing combat classes if keeping them in results in a "dumbed down" game
- I support Devs that know how to design a game

Mike,

It's been an honor. The CH boards were one of the most constructive and fun boards to hang out in. I loved the idea of taming and using pets, and I think it's a real shame they couldn't make a 14th profession based on Creature use, taming, and training. I unlocked my jedi not too long ago, and I made my alt to be the CH I'd always wanted to play. I'll wait and see how the new system goes, but I'm saddened by the loss of CH.

Good luck in your future.

Mike, you were the best.

You did a lot of hard work for us here.

Good luck and thank you for everything....

I continue to play this game out of love for my professions.

When the "New Game Enhancements" go live, I will leave this game.
You can give it a pretty name, but it does not hide your shame...

Farewell Ko

You know how I feel I don't hide my feeling lol. Your a good man.

I just wish the whole soe/swg crew had half the integrity as half the ch population. This company from the top down to the bottom is rotten. The excuses of "just following orders" don't apply anymore since they all blatantly lie to our faces.

Ok venting and straying.

Cya around hopefully, maybe in lotr or even star trek in 06. thats where I am going. I like my pets are leaving soon.

I was there in the beginning. 3 GSP's were the best

I stayed CH for a long time. My tank pets helped every single jedi in my city by tanking Mel by themselves.

I too finally changed when I unlocked jedi. I planned on making my alt a ch so I could still use all my pets in my jedi's datapad.... sigh....

This can't be true.... there is no way CH's are as rare as they say. I think the above person must be correct. They just didn't know how to put pets in there new FPS system.

To revamp us... give us a bait to buy the new expansion... and then kill us two weeks later...... I can't believe any company could be so deceptive and dishonest. I fell like my Jedi grind/accomplishment is now useless with any lvl 80 char automatically becoming a lvl 80 jedi... but what they are doing to you is even worse.... all those pets... all those hours training and trying to level them in a horrible grind that was equal to the jedi grind is just beyond words. They think these kinds of changes will save the game.. but all this deception and dishonesty will destroy it.

I'd just like to add that i'm 31, a guy and i'm crying.
I really am shedding tears over this.

The heartfelt pain in this thread is what's getting to me. I knew it would be so. This is my first post in the CH Forum since the news came out. Been burying myself in the NGE forum all evening, in a frantic search for more information, and I finally have come up for air.

Guys, the CH profession is what got me through a very painful year in real life. The pure, joyful escapism of managing virtual pets in a make-believe world helped me get my mind off a very painful and malicious divorce and subsequent removal from my children's day-to-day lives. I have joint custody of course, but in practical terms, I feel like I've been torn out of my home. And all the complexities and quirky pet behaviors that came with the Creature Handler profession actually gave my mind enough of a distraction to relieve me of my burden of pain when I played.

I loved watching my pet dewback go galumphing off to battle, then come galumphing back afterward, looking for all the world like he had a happy grin across his face. I could imagine him saying to me, "Yay! Let's do it again!"

I loved watching my Merek Assassin scuttle off to do battle.

I loved the goofy, slow-motion lope of my mount-trained Brackaset. I rejoiced when the CU boosted his combat level to 65.

I reveled in the sight of my Graul Mauler (whom I named Povarotti as a tongue-in-cheek reference to his so-ugly-it's-beautiful battle growl) squaring off in combat against a rancor. It was like watching King Kong fight the T-Rex.

I relished the way my trio of Female Narglatches (Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, named after the Three Fates of Greek mythology) assisted me in my long, solitary grind in the early stages of my Padawan career.

I mourned when I finally dropped Master Creature Handler to free up the skill points I needed to build my Jedi skills.

I was beginning to seriously think about regrinding my unlocked alt's skills to make him over into a Master BH/Master Creature Handler again, as Iakimo was when he unlocked his Padawan career. But now, that option will be denied me.

And now, all these moments will be gone, like tears in the rain.

Ko-aIri , First a thank you for all of your efforts here and you will be missed.

Other than that, I really dont know what to say at all. I got home from work at 2am and have not been able to sleep since logging for what was to be a quick second and hearing this news. I am in complete disbelief at what is happening. I have played my Master CH with pride and Luv. My pets are what kept me in this game. I dealt with the changes they made in the past and have spent massive amounts of time learning all the new special abilities so that I could be the best CH I could be and now this???? I feel very betrayed and not to mention unimportant.. after all I guess Im just a damn petty customer. My heart is truley broken at the thought of losing the critters I spent so much time and love playing with. I feel like sending SOE a first class bill for the amount of Life / Time I have waisted playing my toons.

But, I have read read read and re-read the changes. I have broken them down and tried to visualize them and all I can come up with is Yep, you could manage those simple controls with a Playstation Game Pad.

Not to mention my alt who is a Master Weaponsmith. I know her head shares the same block. There is truley no more reason to stay.

Also, now that noone has to go the long hard road of "Force Sensitive" this game , if all this comes to pass, will be now more than one large arena filled with PvP Jedi and Bounty hunter. As if it wasnt already out of control.

To all of you, you are the best class of people in this game. The CH world was different and I wish you all the best and will miss you. I am not sure what I am going to do yet as Im to overwhelmed to think on it anymore.
