Thread: The Publish 19 Bug [Fixed July 1/2]
used to be a master ch
I have 0 creature handler skills now
still have my old pets, mostly wild
I can call the cl 20 bantha mount and the cl 15 cupa , they arelisted as cl 1 (0)
all of my other wild pets cannot be called and are listed as cl 1(0) System messages states ..paraphrased.. "you would have no chance of controlling this pet please see the holocron about pet trade in* as it should
anyway the datapad/system seems to differentiate between the very high lvl wild creatures (Cl39 -CL 68ish )and the cl 20 and below .. even though they are all bugged with the cl 1(0) thing
not sure if that info will help fix the bug or not.. but there ya go

If you check you will find it is the agressive creatures (different taming skill) that you can not control now. The non-agressive creatures (and most of the ones under CL 20 are non-agressive) you would be able to call right now.

Dear Sony:
I am a creature handler and am very upset about todays bug. I agree with many of the numerous people who have stated that there needs to be some sort of compensation given for this excrutiating and truthfully life altering 8 hours. I was forced to go outdoors for the first time in 6 weeks and now (being the very warm summer day that it is) I am now SUNBURNED!
I will be having my lawyer contact SOE due to the severe tenderness of my pale (formerly) white skin. I do not know that I can go another hour without seeing my favorite pet Slice Hound "Spot" friskily demolish other low level creatures, and further exposure to the suns NASTY rays may cause other negative side effects like muscle development, acne clearing, or worse... social development of any kind.
...
Seriously, not to take a stab at the socially impaired, but settle down. Its a BUG. Its a game. It happens. Nobody will lose their job. Nobody will be paying you for your lost time. Nobody will (hopefully) be giving your pet its vitality back that it lost when you 'lashed out' and got it killed 25 times in a row ins your rage.
... and since we are all just waiting for all the hillarious angry responses to my post here, flame on, kids... flame on.

As veterans of software dev organizations have said here so many times in the past, the complete disregard of quality standards that this project has suffered is just incomprehensible to any professional.
This is amazing to me. Unless it's just ended, I'm playing in my 30 day free trial still. And I gotta ask, is this what I can expect from SWG? One helluva way to set the hook in new customers. Hmmm.. should I pay monthly to work at a game and log in one day to find out my character is useless, or should I look at other games? Tough question. As a DE/CH with my only non-pet based combat coming from Rifles III in the Marksman tree, this is a freaking deathblow in the combat aspect of the ground game. Well at least looking at the bright side, now that I'm selling off either DE or CH or maybe both, at least it's double xp and I can grind a combat profession without a crippling bug...

Just wait, the response of the Dev team will be to extend the double xp. Now why should all non CH get a benefit from a bug that only effects us (well any non CH with their weak lvl 10). Now if they go and extend the CH xp after the bug is fixed that will still be a problem because most of us would be getting double xp for our other professions if we were using our pets in combat now. There is only one solution give us a powerful pet or like Hardley said let us mount our giant peko peko(only gaints should be mountable). Flying around town on a giant bird would be cool and make us the envy of all non CH.
yay Chacca ... now I got two votes for mountable giant peko pekos lol

We had another last-minute-bugfix which so similar to this, that there was some confusion that led to our thinking that fixing that bug resolved this issue.
I don't mean to offer that as an excuse, I just want to explain what happened.
I'm really sorry this made it to Live. We're working on a fix and we'll get it to you as soon as we can.
I hate to say this, JFreeman, but if I had been responsible for letting a bug this severe get into production even after it had been reported for more than a week, I'd be looking for another job. THE FIXSHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED! There is no excuse for this.
As soon as I can translates to in a few months....!
Canceled my account again!
Back to WoW! At least my hunter pet is not nerfed.
