Thread: Developement has been extremely cruel to us and on the verge of unusual.

pvp and pets = dead pet, loss of vitality, dead ch, and other player laughing and mocking the ch for waisting their time mastering an obselete proffesion. I admit we were overpowered way back when but what has happened to us especially in pvp is just cruel. pets are no longer required to tank, chs now can not make a dime selling pets, they areonlysomewhat effective in pve, we have been given specials that dont work, and a cheap reward called rare pets that are so rare that you would have a better chance at finding the holly grail then one of these pets. At this rate with revamping proffesions we will have to wait another year of unbalanced unfair gameplay between all the other proffesions. It just seems like everyone else is getting cool things done to their proffesions and becoming more effective and ch seems to be going the exact opposite way.

I said it a long time ago, they did not want one out every two or three people being ch'ers. They have done a great job in thinning the profession though. I wouldnt expect anything more from this profession, it is useless now and will probably remain useless. The rare pet thing was smoke to cut down on the negative posts on this board.

Hey, what other profession can boost mission levels? We're not useless yet!

Can you say Droid Handler?


I agree that CH is not gonna get anything of significance anytime soon.

The problem with CH was that it was not only fun, not only had RP possiblities, but it drew the attention of the min/max crowd early on, which is why the devs broke out the nerfbat and went into the berzerk mode.

/agree

I have had just about enough of CH, there are so many bad things about it that make it at best a useless profession.

We are not even need to boost missions, as Ekhben said. What I see happening all the time now is players group into one large group, get great missions and then split into smaller groups.

Time is up for the CH profession, you will see hardly any when battle droids are available.

From my experience, the total CL meanings nothing for missions. Just the total number in your group. You could have a non-combat droid in group to boost mission payouts...

The main enemy of CH in PVP now is thateveryone uses drugs and buffs to boost their HAM. I've found that dueling a non-buffed, non-drugged melee class I can take them down with my best pet with about 1/4 health still left on the pet. This is a good thing, especially if they're going to revamp all fighting professions. Within the last two days my BE vir vur incapped a TKM/Blademaster and a TK in three separate duels without me using any of my own fighting skill (Pistoleer). Because if this I know pets can be viable in PVP, if you can catch people off-guard when they aren't buffed or using drugs AND if you use your fighting profession with your pets. We'll see how the balance plays out soon. I'm waiting for the crackdown patch to get under way before I decide to go from neutral to a side.

I know the DEs want what I want; droids that perform useful work, not creature pets with metallic skins.


But the entire "po-ke-mon" thing has gotten totally out ofcontrol; the desire to be "star-warsy", even if it means breaking continuity (combat droids are a thing of the past in the time frame after the battle of Yavin) is what is running the show now. So, the devs are bound and determined to replace creature pets with combat droids; never mind that if there's a combat imbalance, all you're doing is changing the skin; never mind that droids' true role, that of relieving their meatbag masters of tedious timesinks is one that the devs cannot bear to allow them to fulfill, because it would lessen the timesinks they've built in to the game to protect the primary contentof the game,the skill grind.

And the Devs blamed us for the Delay of patch, They were going to add the Metallic CH class and 99% of the DE's screamed bloody murder!
