Where to start?
Things that happened this past week:
1) The pets standing on us bug was fixed. Some say after the GenLab fix to allow CH's the bug has popped back up. I find for me they still stay 6 meters away.
2) LOL. The GenLab/CH bug was fixed.
3) Mounts will not follow using spatial and sometimes the /tellpet follow command. Vert stated he would forward that.
4) Tivo showed us his Email from TH stating that he is working internally for the return of rare spawns.
5) We got messages from Rune and Q.
6) We got word that camps could be used instead of relying on a 30 second timer. As I understand it now (thanks to Vert) if you are in a city or camp the pets come instantly. Otherwise you can call outside of a camp or city and will have to wait 30 seconds.
7) Longtime CH Tivo quit.
Things that did not happen this week:
1) No explanation from SOE as to why they believe that CH's can grief someone by pulling out their weapons...er for the sensitive I mean companions.
2) No fix as of yet for autostore problems.
3) No fix as of yet for /tellpet problems.
4) No fix as of yet for pets pathing. I just wish this bug would happen to wild critters so I could kite them.
5) We still have not been told our role. Since we all say its combat and there remains silence from SOE, I think its safer to say we are combat support.
6) Tivo did not quit.
Things I personally would like to see in weeks to come:
1) CH's getting Kinetic resists +5 per tier (total of 25 at MCH). This would offset we defenseless CH that cannot stack bonuses.
2) Utility Pets.
3) At least one flying mount.
4) All non-CH to lose the ability to use BE pets. For some of us there was excitement in finding and taming pets for people. Give them back the CL15's but make them wild tames rather than BE.
5) More people listing bugs via the "BUG:" format. It will make it easier for everyone if we can develop a pattern. Don't see one listed on page 1 or 2? Start a new one.
If you feel that I missed something please list them below.
Thank you,
P9M

Good post Pluto,
Our biggest issue now is the 30 + 60 time sink we are faced with. If we can deal with that then we may have a choice.
Actually what this means is, on way to mission, get aggroed, lose aggro, get aggro, lose aggro, make came, call pet wait 30 seconds, get pet, do mission, wait 60 store pet, leave camp next mission repeat above process above add nauseum. Oh lol we didn't get rid of the camps, ROFL, they got us by the short hairs guys.

Nice list...it might be worth having a 'weeks on list' feature if this is updated sometime just to watch those numbers grow....

Two thumbs up! says Mondo as he once again tells magoo the jax to get off the couch. And don't you dare tell me again it's a pathing issue and you're supposed to be on the couch.

nice list. this would be great on a weely basis. just to see what is getting fixed. i just made MCH about a week ago and i been debating on whether to drop ch and work on someting else. just because of the the problems that the Prof. has. i been looking at the other prof forums and it looks like we are the most of all the compliants and problems. i love being a CH and really don't want to change prof. but we need to be more usefull to the game. getting nerfed and not been able to do PvP is very discouraging. i can never help out my guild with my pets and it makes me very usless. one thing i would like to propose is to be able to put wild pets up on a vendor. there are alot of novice ch that dont really like to travel and are always buying pets that they want but don't want to go tame. how does that sound? would like to get some feed back on this or i 'm i just wishing to hard ?

Great post...I'm glad this profession 'takes care of its own'. Lord knows we don't get much anymore from the folks we pay our fees to.

LOL. Before anyone flames me, I am glad Tivo stayed. The reference was only meant to keep the tone light. The list is as matter of fact as can be.
Thank you,

Kodiak,
I am going to try to do this weekly if it goes over well. I also want to have real topics of discussion like the one I posted today. I will tally/summarize the answers to include in the WIR. Shadowtalker floated an older post from veteran CH. I would like to see that continue as well in some form. So if you have good ideas we can make them topics of discussion. The "Know your Role" post of Thunderheart's needs to be summarized. Maybe I will weed through that for next weeks WIR and reaffirm we know what we want our role to be for us. We do not know what SOE wants us to do in our role.
Thanks,
P9M
