I thought I do some taming in attempt to restore my forces "due to the major BE petnerfing", I started on endor and found quite a few babies but due to allot of bugs could only get 1 out of 14 babies.
I found a bunch of baby arachne warriors but I couldnt even get 20-30 m away without the whole lair going agro, Now before someone says to get some camo and maskscent clothes I already have some that give me max camo maskscent & taming so that was not an issue, I tried drawing 1-2 of the adults away one at a time and then use my t21 to put a few more wholes in the heads and after taking out about 8 adults it was just me and 2 babies I approached 1 nice and slow and hit the tame command but sence I had an auto attack setup I killed it, Then after saying many dirty words I removed the auto attack and went for the other baby, I hit the tame command and i got an on screen message saying that I couldnt tame it!.. Im a master ch and it was a cl 63 and I couldnt tame it.. So after saying many more dirty words and inventing a few new ones I just said heck with it and moved on. I then found 2 baby bordok's 1 mare and 1 roaming stud neither of which have had babies for as long as i can remember I got up to them without any problems and made sure that the auto attack was not on and hit the tame command and once again I was told that I couldnt tame it. On the way back to the outpost to call it a night my brother stopped by and he also plays swg as a mch I wanted to show him what was going on so I found the closest baby which was a lvl 52-54 hilltop gurrek, i made my approach and hit the command and this time it let me tame it. I went back to warrior babies thinking that maybe it might work but one again I couldnt tame it...
I got tired of trying to tame for the night but I had a strong desire to take my fustrations out on something so I grabbed a lvl 79 blurg mission and grouped my 2 lvl 35 giant anglers making both of them lvl 80 like myself, I pulled 1 away from the others and sent my pets in but sence they do so much less damage than my t21 they couldnt hold agro and it would come after me, Luckly my rifle has a adk on it and i use some powerups that give it close to 1200 dmg and with headshot its closer to 3k dmg which takes them down pretty quick, but If the pets arent doing what there job is "tanking" whats the point of having them? they dont really make it any faster to take a target out.
Also heres some pics I took of the babies and 1 shot of a razor cat my BE made out of some PRE Cu rancor dna

Yeah taming is much harder, and maskscent is messed up currently.
I feel your pain mate.

I had the same problem tonight. Was taming some mobs for mounts, just level 10, and all was fine. After getting incapped by a Quenker (how embarrasing!), I then couldn't tame anything at all. I got the same message "You can't tame that" - a lvl 10 mob? OK!

I tamed two bordoks, 43 and 47 CLed, without problems, just took a few tries, didn't get a you can't tame that message though. I wasn't wearing BE clothes either.

yes it is. I am giving them a month to straighten everything out and peek my interest again. I think that is fair enough if it still sucks after a month subscription ended been fun but is no longer.

I did pretty well as a TKM, although the lack of a peace button is really annoying.

Yeah, I could see how TKM without a peace button would be tough, but you should be able to turn off whatever melee attack you're using as autoattack.
I successfully tamed a fierce piket protector baby last night, but they're not aggro anymore...the adults, I mean. This was a natural tame.
Babies are still spawning from mission lairs and appear to be normal babies of the correct species, but I haven't tamed one to find out yet.
We need more storage, dammit! Turn the droids back on, for the love of Yoda! ![]()
