Hi, I understand these issue has been around a while but I'vehad the following3 issues for quite a while.
The first is that, when using any & all mounted pets in Battle, when they get incapped, they stay incapped. You cannot heal them.. even with the strongest stim packs. You can only store them & you have to wait 30 seconds before you can do that. I, myself now have a level 12 Giant Carrion Spat & a level 21 Bantha I have mounted. I'm sure this must have been bug reported before but is there any fix as, otherwise, it just means there's no point mounting a pet if you're then gonna use him in battle.
The second issue I've noticed with mounted pets is, I'm currently a level 30 Creature Handler & I find that my Giant Carrion, now that it's been mounted, no longer follows all my commands. He'll attack fine, do tricks & various other tasks butif I ask him to follow me, he just stands there and won't move. To get him to move, I either have to mount him & ride him where I want to go or store him and bring him out when I get there. Has this issue been reported at all yet?
The third issue I have is with the Giant Carrion Spat. He's a lair creature & originally should have grown to level 18. When he got to level 7, I got the option to stunt his growth in preparationfor a mount. So, at this point he's a non-ch pet and anyone can use him. I mounted him yesterday & his level jumped immediately from level 7 to level 12. This now means he's no longer a non-ch pet. This is annoying as I only held onto him so I could mount and sell him on. Is this a problem that when a CH mounts a pet, it jumps automatically from a non-ch to a CH level? If so, I would assume this would annoy many non-CH people that wish to own a mount but can't train one.
Regards,

1. Known bug been around forever.
2. Known bug been around since they fixed pet running around.
3. Giant Carrion Spat is an agro creature, cons red on radar, and was never able to be used by non-ch.
I would not hold my breath waiting for bug fixes for the CH. The Dev's only fix CH bug that benefit CH's or affect non-ch's pets.

Come to grips with it. Creature Mounts are little more than slow vehicles with different skins.

Yes, Ihave submitted two bug reports to Sony, one for the inability to heal mounts and another on the pet not following issue. was unaware of the stunt growth problem. I am a CH 1 4 1 4 with kaadu (lvl10), mountain dewback (lvl 20)and Brackaset (lvl30) mounts. all are bugged as are all the people I play with. It is frustrating since I might as well use my vehicle now if the pet is just going to stand there and act like a vehicle. I certainly hope this is a bug and not a "feature", since it was not fixed or addresed in the last release.
As with anything in this game it only gets fixed when the player community complains so my suggestion is that we all submitbug reports and flood the dev team with them. that way it will get some attention.

1. has not been around forever, only started after the imperial crackdown release
2. correct on that one see above
3. I gave a stunted Giant Carrion spat level 7(18) to my non CH girlfriend and she uses it all the time as a mount.
lastly this is not a CH problem. It affects all player mounts CH and non-CH.
