Hi folks,

I'v been CH for 10 months now.

I have been unable to obtain any good BE pets for 5 months, i have 4 BE pets and the rest are tamed.

Heres some points. You may agree or disagree but dont flame, i just ignore flamers.

CH has been nerfed so bad that we are a rare breed, useless in PvP and useless agianst droids.

So why do i keep on CH? for one reason only! pets are cannon foder.

I send in the pet, stay back outa range, and blast away. I heal pet (but 1 mission can use 100 stims :-( )rinse repeat.

5 Major problems exsist at present

1/ BE's are becoming as rare as CH's. And any that are around do not make pets or stims

2/ Current tamed animals do not have the same stats as their ingame counterparts when examined ie. a rancor has 30% kinetic resist, a tamed 1 has nothing? Put a tamed rancor up against an ingame rancor, who wins? the ingame 1.

3/ Nobody wants mounts tamed in the wild! why? cause they have no stats, no armor no nothing. And most i tame now are lvl 15 and above??

4/ For 9 months i have searched for a bull rancor baby, i have never seen one or know anyone who has one, anyway why should they bother? it wont have any stats and anything can kill it.

5/ CH is dead.

Some recommendations.

If we cannot get good crafted BE pets and stims, then open up the game and allow CH's to tame any animal in game no matter what lvl it is and allow us to manufacture our own pet food andhealing kits (BE's arnt interested anymore, no money to be made crafting CH stuff)

Allow pets to carry loads. Give tamed pets the same stats as ingame counterparts.

Allow us to feed the pet as its growing, the food could cause it to have better stats in certain areas (ie Steak meat could make it stronger)

Just FFS sort it out. Nerfing CH has nerfed BE, no BE's no Tailors, no tailors no clothes, no clothes just compo, all with compo, we all look like stormtroopers, all stormtroopers with TKM, im bored everyone is the same, cancel account, move on!!!!!!!

Then again maybe the game is just built to appeal to the masses of solo players, its not like everquest were group play is neccessary and non run of the mill professions are needed badly. SWG has gone down the road to become very boring and mass orientated.

Have you ever logged in, sat down and wondered, what can i do today?

Some Wookie who thought CH was a good idea!!

Yep, probably everyone will agree with your recommendations. See in particular points 1, 2, 21 & 24 in the Creature Handlers Issue/Request List thread.
(We're never going to be able to tame any pet regardless of level, that's probably going to stay at CL70. But I'd be happy with raising the max level we canhave out at one timeto even just 100 or so. Then maybe we could at least have 3semi-decent petsout at once).

I find this frustrating aswell. I can't drop novice medic because I suppliment stim B's for pet stims when I run out and that 15 Skill points I could aim somewhere else.

Disagree with allowing us to tame any creature in game. Would never happen and I personally would not want it to happen. However The CL70 cap has to be removed, without any major or minor adjustments to the current tamable pet levels. The major problem I can see SOE having with this is the Crazy level control the BE's have in the game. I never wanted or tried to get the bugged Level 0 or Level 1 pets. But even if that did not exsist the BE's pets are still better and lower level restrictions. I currently run two BE pets that total CL70, both have Light armor, Kentic 60% and HAM over 12k on one and 11k on the other. The both have a ranged attack to boot.

One is a BE Rancor CL 41 the other is a BE Blurgg Level 29

Now these two pets are more powerful than if I ran my wild Gurreck and wild Rancor which would be your CL100 you asked for.

If I was allowed CL100, at this point of the game, I could throw another CL29 Blurgg into this for 3 pets 33k HAM total. The problem is not allowing us MCH's to call our Wild pets that total CL100, that would be easy and we would still suck, just not as bad. The problem with uping the CL control is all the BE pets.Even if they did up the CL control a Master TKA or Swordmaster would still drop all your pets in only a few blows. Not sure how it is on your server, but everyone on mine is wearing a Tin Can suit of composite armor and carrying a sword or Vknuckles. WAY TO BORING.... The lines of tin cans at the coronet SP waiting for the Master Doc to make them gods is crazy.

Im on farstar- and its exactly the same!!

To me SWG has lost its Starwarsy theme, how many Master TKM's do ya see in the films?

Im hate to say it! but swg has fast becoming another boring online rpg, caused by nerfing of professions and sending everyone on the same road! Most game developers know to well that everyone wants to be the most powerful, so if everyone follows the same path/road its easier to program.

The reasons we play games are many, but the biggest reason of all;

To escape reality and imerse ourselves into a world of dreams!
