I hate uncomfirmed rumors, and I have seen nothing that specifically states that this will happen...can anyone help with an actual quote from tc?
Are we sure that it will ACTUALLY make it to live?
If this is soe's intention....WHY? i LOVE my lil nargs....and i have no prob with ch being nerfed to hell and back, i'm a mbh too and do all the damange i need, my pets are mostly for the coolness factor/some cannon fodder....but i SERIOUSLY start sweating if the start getting hit badly, dont like to see them incap...anyway..do i have 6 pets who will simply cease to exist after the hard work I did in finding them? Why, sony, why?

My female narglatches had 3000 something health on TC-Bria. I released them to make room for testing. I remember in one of the threads that Ko-aIri was told they were out of balance. If the search on this site worked better I would find it for you. Just another favorable bug we'll lose.
Found it in the sticky titled "Further information regarding pet changes on Test Center *Updated Existing Pet Information*":
Regarding Elite pets: Elite pets have been intentionally removed, because the new pet ability system is intended to replace them. All Elite creatures will revert to standard stats for their level when tamed. This includes all existing Elite pets as well as any future Elite creatures which are marked as tamable, of which there should be none as Publish 21 will remove the Elite status from every potentially tamable creature so there shouldn't be any confusion. Therefore your tamed Great Plains Stalker will have the same stats as a wild version, but neither will be Elite.
He specifically mentioned the Female Narglatch as being totally unbalanced for its level, and stated that the fact it was Elite was a bug in the first place and it was a "completely broken pet." The original hope of the Elite as a pet was to give specialized pets with better than normal tanking or better than normal damage which could fulfill the role variety that Creature Handlers were inteded to fulfill, but it turned out to be too difficult to balance and not versatile enough. The new pet ability system should allow Creature Handlers to customize their pets to fulfill whatever specialized role they desire for that pet.

I've enjoyed my Generic Narg Beotches for a while; But Imagine with this new system you could have 3 (23) level pets with different skins and different specials;Supposedly with Passive abilities that boost health,regeneration and maybe even dmg.So I hope this Upgrade will expand varity and toughness to pets with expierence! Instead of every Creature Handler running around with 3- female narglatches.
