Way to go, Devs.
But hey, they're really sorry.
Maybe it would have meant more if they'd apologized BEFORE throwing this into Live, if they couldn't fix it. Maybe they should have played damage control by stating they were dedicated to getting a fix in for this ASAP and offered some sort of consolation or compensation.
Oh, but nooooooo.....our Correspondent had to gripe in the Corr forums about being ignored for over a week, and our profession forum and the Issues thread had to be slammed with "what the hell is going on" posts, until a Dev finally sauntered in around1:00 in the afternoonCentral time,or so, to say "Hey, we tried a last minute hotfix yesterday but got confused -thought it would work, it didn't, really sorry." If they throw code in that they don't even know will function, or if it will fix an issue, then this game is doomed.
I'm really saddened to read your story, I'm sure it was hard to put those pets down, but they're in a far, far better place now. Find the fun in the game, that's what it's about. Good luck with your new professions!
It really doesn't matter if they fix the bug quickly, what matters to customers is this was a critical bug that testing revealed, yet the devs pushed it to Live anyway. Customers are not quitting becausse this bug, by itself, is so exceptional, but because the Customer Service attitude that it represents is setting the bar so low that you have to question that you're getting enough value for your money to make it worth giving these guys your hard-earned dollars.
I sympathize greatly. I wish there was even the smallest sign that management in this project was learning from their mistakes. Regrettably, they seem perfectly content to let customers get 'served' in only the most negative sense of the word.

Zorro, Zeus, Goliath, Gwenyvar, Ying and Yang, Jr and Snaggletooth (the smelliest rancors you ever got wind of), War-child, Urghala and others named and unnamed. These pets had meaning to us, they were a part of us. They suffer no more.
To all my fellow Creature Handlers, I bid you adieu.

Your pets suffered long enough. You did a nobel and good thing. I may have to put my pets down soon.
Can you post a WP to your graveyard?Perhaps I will do the deed in the same place as a symbolic gesture.
Maybeeach server can have a house set up with gardens and a statue (we can all choose a unified theme) and the memmorial will be in the same spot on each server.
Here lay my pets and my profession finally killed by months of SOE beatings
I want to keep CH...I wanted CH since it's inception early on. Sadly you can only stay with someone who abuses you so long. It is like the battered wife syndrome. "he said he would change" - so she stays - but he never does - and someday the choice to stay is lethal.

People who feel the need to come to a public forum and /cry about a bug in this fashion have a bit of an issue with real life I suppose. If it was done in /roleplay manner then /ignore.
First of all, this is the only place we can go. During both testing and after this went live, we got no feedback at all by simply reporting a bug. Since you are not a MBE as well as MCH, it's obviouse you don't care about your pets as much as someone else would since you just bought yours simply to use and die as weapons.
Now may I ask why you would delete all of your pets? Do you think that the Devs are really going to let it stay this way? Sure they let it go live. If it was for the greater good then I am ok with it. I would rather see 1 Profession get borked and 3 fixed. Am I happy it was one of my choosen that got borked? No, of course not. But I can still play and enjoy the game.
Some of us don't go the way of any combat classes, so it's understandable why your still able to enjoy the game while the rest of us aren't able to do anything. If you have to kill1 classto make 3 overused classes slightly better, it is NOT a solution. Since some BE pets that were set to 1(0) so long ago were never fixed, what makes you think SoE has the inteligence to repair this travisty? Just who's a_s are you trying to kiss here?
The only pets that got wasted this last Publish were my natural ones. Every single BE pet I have is ok. Tomko my lvl 70 Rancor, Fluffy my lvl 62 Kimo, Honey my 50 Razor Cat, and Bludletters my lvl 20 Gurrcat. My "show" pets are still there and I can pull them out in town like I have done for ages.
An example of some of the most overused pets any wannabie always chooses above all others. MCH is just a title to you.
I have always used BE pets as they are, in most cases(ie. Made by a MBE with the best resources and templates), better then the wild caught version.
Like I said, a wannabie MCH.

As a MCH MRM MS I have no problems still having fun. Being over dramatic is overplayed....
The whole point about beinga MCH is NOT JUSTabout using BE pets... you're just not getting this are u? *taps u on the head*
It's about the finding, taming, keeping those creatures, be they rare or just becuase you like them. It's about having fun, not just playing "shoot-up".
My second profession is MCM, not just to heal my friends, but also to heal my pets in combat, because I LIKE to play the game that way.Therefore, I can't play until they fix this.
If I wanted to "kick bum" then I would have chosen another profession other than MCH. Have some compassion for other players who have taken badly to this balls up that SoE threw our way.
Hell, your right. I'm new, so my reasons of playing this game, to become a MCH/Rifleman, were cut short when I found you could not use ranged attacks due to a bug. I came around too late to do Respec, so I had to kill several thousand LvL 1-3's to become a CH, which was only the start. When I recieved a token Respec, I respec all my skill from Survival in the Scouting tree to Trapping in the Scouting tree since gaining trapping skill seems bugged. I've mastered CH and Scouting, then decided to go into BE and wait till I am able to shoot from a mount again before trying to master an easy skill like Rifleman. All my pets were natural, so all of them were nerfed,and I really want to use my future MBE skills to craft my custom own Bol. I don't want to simply slap a CL70 together, I wanna do it right.
Your right, I haven't played as long as you, but all the recient bugs was sure one hell of a welcome.

I am sorry you got such a poor welcome...stick around...the people that play the game make it worthwhile.
