As a MCH/MBE I can't believe the crippling pet bug released with Publish 19. However, there is some small glimmer of hope. It seems that only tamed pets are bugged, as my BE created pets are fine. I have other MCH's in my guild that I also made pets for and those pets are ok as well. So now might be a good time to buy a BE pet. It's actually a good idea anyway, as BE pets grow to match their CL and are much larger than tamed pets. They also hit twice as fast as tamed pets. And to top it off, I specialize in high damage CL70 pets so a pet like the ones I make would do 499 dmg, have high agro and and Health and at level 70, all CL70 pets have 4696 armor, 170 To Hit and 170 Defense ratings. My CL70 BE pets are killers and actually hold agro when you hunt, like a good pet should.

If you are on Ahazi server, I should still have some CL70, 499 dmg pets on my vendor. Here's the waypoint for my store:

Ahazi server: Naboo 1564, 3987 (just north of Keren)

If this Publish 19 pet bug isn't fixed by Friday, it's going to be a long wait until after the July 4th weekend before anything gets fixed. Come by one of my BE pets today and don't let the long weekend be a waste!

Good to know, but my BE/CH hasn't been able to make a decent pet yet since the CU, haven't figured out the new system, and since I have no combat now, I can't get any samples ( CH was my only combat

i refuse to use any BE pets until 2 things happen:
1) they fix the new bug that ruined all my wild pets and
2) they make wild pets good enough to actualy use in combat

I completely understand that you would want to go on strike. I'm sad to admit that I was looking forward to playing SWG all long weekend and was quite relieved when I found out my BE made pets were still good. I just wanted to pass on this info in case there are any other sorry addicted MCH's like me who would still want to salvage the long weekend.

On a side note... If/when they do fix the 2 problems you listed with tamed wild pets... I would highly suggest you ditch them and get some BE pets

As I stated above, BE pets are far superior to wild tamed pets. I'm a MCH/MBE and I can tell you that my datapad is only full of BE pets.

Just a follow-up...

2 of my guildmates just defeated Mellichae using my BE pets, so they're definitely okay even after Publish 19.

Yes, pre-CU I spent good money on good pets .... and watched the devs negligently trash them with a wild creatures balance, since they never give 2 seconds thought to the impact of creature changes on CH's. Now my BE pets are a little better than wild but still basically useless because of broken speed, specials, and the level system.

So I should throw more good credits after bad waiting for the next screw-up? Pass.

Yeah pets are definitely bugged. Heh, what profession isn't bugged in SWG.

But as far as your BE pets being useless... Even with their bugs my pets are far from useless. Like I said above, my pets actually hold agro and effectively tank. And that's while I'm using a 954 dmg rifle with 1300-2100 advanced crit special attacks. Nope, my handmade CL70, max damage pets kick ass. And as for the throwing credits away on them... lol, i have more credits than I know what to do with. Based on theprices of useless things like rugs, I think it's safe to say that most players these days are rolling in dough. I only make high end pets anyway so newer players with less money most likely couldn't afford/use them anyway.
