smack me if this has already been posted, but from someone that visited the fanfest from teh BE community...
Creature Handlers
Helooooo? Anyone out there? There were actually quite a few creature handlers
at fanfest but they were quiet as a mouse or a durni?. They even had to be prodded to ask questions, lol. But I think they came out of this pretty well.
High End Baby Spawns: in a word, "yes", I think it was K that said that he felt that BE's had kinda stolen a lot of CH's fun and so some of that he would like to see restored.
Winged Mounts: not gonna happen
Vehicles decimating the Mount Market: GM said that in his view, vehicles and mounts should move the same speed, for balance purposes. There was some bickering over this, but at least it was very clear that they understand the impace that vehicles have on the mount market.
Art's Take:

Art's Take:
better mounts, better baby spawns are nice, but just the fact that everyone else is getting nerfed *except* CH this time I think is the best news for these fine folks.
Also:
"be balanced. Changes to weapon certs, specials, types of damage done, skill mods, skill mod stacking, skill tapes yadda yadda. Pretty much all that is being affected. One thing though, according to K, pets are expected to come out of this pretty much (if not entirely) exempt from the nerfs. Therefore, expect pets to make a "comeback" of sorts."

Ok, I was there and was not quiet. I was at the C/H forum and had my hand up the whole time.
Got to speak twice and left an outline with the three devs there. I printed an outline with our complete list of Known Issues, Mounts, Creature Armor, And the Corral thread. I also hit 4 more devs Friday night. I spoke to Kurt Saturday morning and he had already seen it and thanked me for the work. Flying Mounts could be done but, in fact the devs liked the idea, but will not be thought
about till after space. Attacks while mounted, specials, and new mounted attacks were discussed
However they were inclined to just give this to rangers, I protested....who is going to train these mounts with special attacks anyway? Baby levels and spawns were discussed. They are thinking
of making "higher level babies" (I brought this up) They would probably be "rare". Hopefully the rebalance will be good for us if they do not touch creatures. We will have to see.....?

I gotcha, nice points the B/E brought though. Just wanted you all to know we were represented.
See if it does any good.
