ok so publish 6 was the equivelent of building a coffin for all of the ch comunity they made mounts un-sellable, chxp impossibal, and pets hath there strength (hath there armour etc) 2 publishis on and we are bugged to hell pets dont folow and they despawn they dont listen to special attack comands to name but a few ...

over the next mini publish and publish 9 they intend to stuff us in that coffin and burry us alive the veichales from the corvette mission will more than distroy the tempory want for our newest mounts bantha and cu pa , with publish 9 they intend to bring out a droid handeler profession yup big lumps of steel with lazers my bet is they will easily take down a rancor and most likley be far more powerfull than the best be pet, to think that the devs will try to blance the new profession along the lines of ch is purely wishfull thinking there gona make them over powered so more people go into the new profesion and they can show some nice stats to there bosses etc saying the new profesion is a sucsess!

please give your views on this

and watch out for that droid soloing a krayt next time your in the graveyard on tatooin

I don't think CH is that bad off. It's just that profs like TK are WAY overpowered and SOE is scared of nerfing TK because they want our money. Many ppl would quit if they were not able to own everything they see. The main problem I have with CH (other than the bugs) is the complete lack of PvP need for us. CH was uber in PvP at one time but the devs hated the term pokeman wars so they nerfed the hell out of us. Jus' my 2 credits worth.

*edit*

On a side note, I don't even think most of the devs play anymore. Just look at the droid invasion. That was the worst named patch in the entire history of man. Those poor DE's thought it was going to be thier moment in the sun and ppl pretty much laughed at them or pitied them.

The devs give us customization kits that last so short hardly anyone uses them anymore. Now they are gonna fix SL of all things. I'd much rather see some balance in the game than a SL getting the love. How about fixing all the specials for every profession? Our development team is so clueless to what is really needed ingame.

This game has HUGE potential but will likely go the way of EnB from development issues.

To some extent I must agree with you when talking about CH and the PvP world. However, we have a HUGE advantage over every other profession out there in PvP. We can actually attack people from speeder bikes etc whereas no other profession in the game can do that. The trick is to get creative and use what is available to you rather than try to do what used to work for CH. For example, I just use a 3 pet combo now for PvP. Get your favorite BE to make you some good lvl 23 pets with the following specials: knockdown / stun / blind / dizzy / strong poison / intimidate. I just circle on my speeder until the "enemy" decides to focus on my pets. When he does that, I dismount and go TKA on him lol

The theoretical reason for this is that it was the first part of the combat "balance". We got to be first to be "balanced", while everyone else will be "balanced" later. Now that "balance" has been delayed longer. "Balancing" ONE profession at a time is a VERY BAD IDEA.

I a MCH and love using my pets in PVE but as far as using them in PVP, haha. The only people your gonna kick butt on in any way using pets is people new to the game that have no idea how to PVP. So any MCH out there that enjoys knocking off newbies , just go ahead and have your fun. I think I'll go out and kill gnorts with my Krayt Blaster, thats a blast too.

If only you knew how wrong you are... It's just a matter of the tactics you use and how you fight.

I hope you understand my pseudo english

At least the Devs have fixed the specials....

People who ignore my screecher now often really wish they hadnt

the sad thing is that pets are overall useless in PvP. Hell, I've seen single players solo a giant dune kimogila, which is far beyond our taming range. If this happens, then when you think about it, we really don't have a prayer with our pets in PvP.

Overall though, I don't think the CH nerf was uncalled for, it was just too soon. While combat professions are still being worked on, and may not get balanced will publish 11 or so, CH was nerfed too soon. We were severely de-powered, while other professions remained the same. When the combat nerf/change happens I think we might be a bit better off, but right now, I think if the DEV's had just waited to change us along with all the other professions we'd be in a happier position. Even in PvE we're at a distinct disadvantage. A master TK can tank better than any pet out there, and while our tamed pets got de-powered, NPC's such as krayt dragons, kimogilas, goraxes, etc. got buffed up.

It's a sad time for CH, as we lost 2/3 or so of our people. We had a good run though. We definitely had a good run....
