Thread: The Publish 19 Bug [Fixed July 1/2]
As you are all aware, the bug that was reported about pets (including all wild pets, faction pets, droids and some BE pets) being treated as level 1(0) and having 10 health unfortunately has gone Live.
Of course, this makes Creature Handler currently unplayable, even moreso than with the crippling bugs we've suffered from in the past.
The dev team has acknowledged the bug exists, it is not being ignored even though it did not get fixed. As you know, several different teams do work on several different areas each publish, and somehow despite the multiple reports from myself and many others, this bug was never fixed before reaching Live servers, either because of miscommunication or just plain oversight, I don't know.
I made a final plea last night to delay the publish to fix the problem, but once a publish is on deck it's pretty much impossible to stop it.
I'm hoping an immediate hotfix is forthcoming, but I have no official ETA on a fix or anything of that nature.
I encourage you to report the bug in the appropriate thread, and in the meantime if you have another character use it. Don't subject your pets to vitality loss just to prove a point, as some people have been doing.
I'm upset that this happened, and I wish I had the power to fix it but I don't. I'm taking a break from playing until the bug is fixed, as I really can't do much that I want to do without my pets right now. I'll let you know if I hear any further info, and I have requested that a "red name" stop by to talk to us, but I don't know if that will happen or is possible.
Thanks for sticking out the profession, and I'm really sorry about this.

/kudos to you Ko
The fact that the bug has been acknowledged is a big step...
No profession in this game should have a bug like this go Live. This is one HELL of a warning to the Devs - fix this and NEVER do it again to ANYONE in any profession. This game deserves better.
This is not your fault, Ko. You did all you could and I appreciate your efforts.
Ko-a
I know you did all you could. As of right now I am on strike and would encourage you to read my thread I made about going on strike until the above bug is fixed and pets get their specials/ resists fixed. I am fortunate to be able to own seperate accounts but not everyone out there can afford to have multiple accounts which makes this bug crippling. Long time ch in BEAST are enraged to this as their pets are unusable.
Join me fellow ch and strike until swg fixed ch
*hugs Ko-aIri*
Not ur fault, and thanks for all ur hard work and sticking up for us.

they have, and your correspondent isn't alone out there.
Not to fan the flames even more but I imagine SOE is getting ready for an extended 'lower level of support' weekend with this coming weekend being July 4th and all, so I hope this gets addressed before then 
Later

BioE's, tailors, and AS's were hit with p18, and now DE/CH/anyone with a pet join the ranks. admittedly, CH has been hit harder than most of the others with this particular bug.
we're reporting the bugs... now we just have to be patient and wait for the fixes.
