Creature Handler Archive

This is rather embarrassing on my part, but I need to know if this is a bug or not. My husband gave me his Wasteland Cu Pa to use as a mount because he had given up Creature Handler, so I receive the Cu Pa, train him as a mount and ride him all the way back to Mos Espa with no problems save for the evil hermits which chose to bother us.

A few minutes ago, I go on a shopping errand in Coronet for my husband who needs parts for stims. so I dcide to usemy Wasteland Cu Pato get there faster. I go there, get the things, come back and dismount. Butthe Cu Pasuddenly disappears and I get this 'You are too far away.' message. I shrug, go in and give the components to my husband before going back to retrieve the rest of them. To get there faster, I use the Cu Pa again and I get the rest of the components. so, I'm just riding back to the cantina, minding my own business when I see a Cu Pa standing at one of the small entrances. I blink, dismount (the same message and disappearing act happens again) and I examine the Cu Pa..which turns out to be MINE! >___< But I can only examine him and all it says is 'a wasteland cu pa'. So I'm here like **edit**?!

Is this some kind of bug, or do I need a new Cu Pa?

Yes it is a bug. Obviously. But it only happens once in a while. I believe there is a way to duplicate the conditions necessary to make this happen in theory giving you unllimited mounts.

At least it didn't happen today when there were a ton of players on. Then I would have been really embarrassed. Hopefully the DEVs will fix this, and I can't help but wonderi f it happens to all the mounts.

Yeah, it happens to vehicles also, in fact, all the time. Never had it happen to a pet though.
