Thread: Creature handlers left out again
With publish 10, it looks like mounts are forgotten about once again 
.Publish 10 lets us put our vehicles in the toolbar for easy access, and I thought it only logical that this would be applied to mounts also (and possibly other pets). It would be immensely useful not having to open our datapads to call our pets each time. Alas, no luck. The Devs have shown it can be done, why won't they do it? It doesn't appear that anyone in charge is even considering mounts or CH (suprise!). If they don't go the whole way and add this, there's no explanation except for the the Dev's apathy towards CH
If I recall correctly though, a couple of publishes ago weren't vehicles AND mounts mentioned in the publish notes as being able to be placed in the toolbar to be called? (neither one worked, but it was still mentioned in the notes).

I already posted about this not working for mounts/pets/droids when publish 10 was on TC and they where asking for feedback. They must have not read it or ignored me

off the top of my head didn't bikes used to be the same way with ui option 1 being examine, and the 3 option being generate vechile????
thats what we have for our pets now...
but hen again i really don't see the need for bikes/pets on the toolbars... i'm kinda curious what happens when you double click that spot on accident... will that cancle the call???? like double clicking on a weapon, you equip it then 5 secs later it unequips...

Exactly correct, and exactly how vehicles used to be. They just changed the menu order for vehicles without touching mounts, and I assume changing mounts would be a very similar thing. I'd like to know what the Devs have said on the issue if it has been brought up, perhaps it is more complicated than it seems.

It doesn't matter how easy or hard it isto change pet menus as well (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, Vert.
I wouldn't say less than 1%
I see plenty of pets out there. Not only pets or mounts, but droids would be nice to be added to that menu.
