Creature Handler Archive

Yes I remember those days. Before vehicles, before pets and I understand why we need them on the lower planets But I believe that on advanced planets, if they allowed only pet mounts, it would be better.

I also think that planets like Talus, Corellia, Yavin, should be the only planets that allow player cities, and that on planets such as Lok, Tatooine there should only be one small house allowed per person or only so many per square meter. The entrance to the Krayt Graveyard has been totally compromised by all the buildings.

I remember running from killer paralopes on Talus, flewts on Naboo, gnorts on tatooine. But now people fly past them on their speeder bikes and never think twice about it. I remember running out to our guild hall 1500 meters out of Dearic and being almost petrified most of the way. Now it's hop a shuttle and I am in my guild/player city. Some things i miss.

I remember we didn't know about medic buffs, music buffs, advanced armor etc. and now every newb won't leave town without being buffed, armored etc. No wonder it has got boring for people they have never experienced the thrill of taking on something that will and can kill you. That's why I hunt Krayt dragons, you know without a shadow of a doubt this thing can kill me. One swipe and I am dead. I do Krayts unbuffed with no pets. I like doing it with a friend or two at the most or by myself. It's the thrill of looking death in the eye and spitting in that eye

I do remember, and I think the game is much better now that players can tank just as well ifnot better than pets. I was not a fan of Pet Wars.

Now we have hundreds of l33t d00ds mopping up everything in site in their composite armor with a KD/Dizzy combo.

Thank goodness they don't have any of those creature pets out, though!

That is your opinion. I still have a lot of fun hunting with my Rancor. Sure, I cannot solo huge mobs with a couple low level Grauls, but I can solo Rancor nests with my own Rancor. I think that is good enough. If you like pets, you probably will still like CH. If you are looking for the most powerful combat classes, maybe try a Melee or Ranged combat elite profession and a good set of armor. Again... better for the game. No more hundreds of l33t d00ds with thier two grauls mopping up everything in site.

In my case, as a long time MCH, there's no point to being a CH anymore. Sure, I can solo a lot of things with my pet(s), but I'm a shadow of my former self. And what's the real use of taking on rancor lairs anyway? To get a bull rancor? Been there, done that. To harvest resources? Tedium. When you get to the point I have, when it no longer matters and it's no longer fun anymore, you just have to give it up. I told myself at one time I'd never drop MCH, because it's the best profession there is in the game. I was right back then, but it's turned into a pile of bantha pudu and the devs want to keep shoveling this steaming pile down our throats. I'm not going to be the heel anymore. I'm sick and tired. You will be too, eventually. No amount of new content (throwing us the occasional bone) can make up for months of a profession that was forced to die while we screamed in agony. The pain is gone and it's dead now. End of story.

/agree Freth
We are a dieing breed and it seems by design

I was one of the first MCH's on ahazi, hunting on Lok harvesting like crazy to get CH. I used to have my 3 medium armor webmasters, out, at the same time! That was back during the rancor craze of 03. I knew better, and everyone came around.

I remember seeling webmasters and people would be like" but it isn't as big as a rancor, i'll give you 20k instead"

hah
