I am a PvPer.

I do not like to "adventire" in this game, bassicly because of lack of content but that's another can of worms.

I've been playing for over a year and never understood why "sicking" 3 rancors on someone in PvP wasn't completly awesome. Now I've heard from some people that CH is again viable in PvP, also some saying it's not.

I respec'd to MCH/M rifle/4040 BH last night and bought 2 lvl35 rancors and a lvl 40(?) kimo.


Question 1) Am I wasting my time?


Question 2) If you answered "No" to question 1, what are the best pets for PvP? Is it better to have 1 lvl70 or 3 lvl 23's?


Question 3) How long does it take my pets to "mature"? (they are lvl 1's ATM)


Question 4) Have special attacks been broke on pets before CU?


thanks for any answers.

1.Probably not

2. definently one high level pet, greater than 60 or 65 would be best.

3. It depends on species, max level, and how often you log on.

4.Only some of them, but they would fire off randomly by themselves, it'just we couldnt command them to work. Now, not only can we not command any of them, but they don't fire off randomly. so far, the only creature i've seen with specials is a canyon krayt, which retains that weird AoE attack, but it's rate of success is pretty deadful from what I saw when me and a single friend killed it in about 20 seconds with pikeman and commando.

Rancor lvl 35, every day. does the maturation take place only when logged in and creatures are out of data pad?

I have been repeating this alot lately lol


creatures therefore pets are still unbalanced, expect future balancing. That said as you read and experience some uber pets and underpowered ones also in pvp/pve don't expect it to be permanent.


I solo'd several krayts today and saw a dozen other people soling them also, they were dropping in 30 seconds, all different professions too. However a crazed gurreck handed me my cloning papers in 20 seconds lol. I see much balancing in the future.


Just reminder to be sure of what you want and for what reasons things will be changing I am sure.

pets used to grow twice a day not sure if it changed but you had to be logged in at the right times roughly 12 marks like 11am eastern and 11pm.


if you log in once daily they will grow once, if you dont login for days they grow very slowly.

What's most hilarious about the krayt thing is that the note on the launchpad said that "Remember that testers have this to say,: YOU CANNOT SOLO A KRAYT ANYMORE". As if we wouldn't come even close. Makes me wonder who that comment came from really....
