Thread: -Proof- that our issues will never be resolved
Mini Publish 10.1
Top CS/ QA/ Correspondents' issues
Now I dont know about all of you, but to me that is FAR from hearing out, even acknowledging to attempt to answer and/or fix why so many creatures are not spawning babies and HAVE NOT for 7 months or more. And who knows when this "mini-publish" will get changed to.
How hard is it to tell us WHY creatures arent spawning babies?? Oh...I know why...because there is no reason why they shouldnt be, so the people with the power to fix it can hide behind their labtops and continue flying their X-Wings and TIE Fighters while our profession is left behind.
To explain how I feel about this, do you guys remember in Master & Commander when one of the mates was flung overboard during a massive storm and he was swimming his hardest to get back to the ship and hanging on for dear life to survive? But then as he was hanging on to the debris making his way closer to the ship, the ship's mass was slowly tipping the boat on its side. The captain, "Lucky" Jack, looked to his high ranking officers and then he looked to the overboard mate's close friend........and he chose "the lesser of two evils," which was symbolized throughout the movie. They cut off the ropes to the mass, which saved the ship and all the crew......say one.....the mate who fought for his life, but was handed death as he was left at sea.
Fellow creature handlers...we've been fighting for our lives for months on end. The DEVs know they can save our profession, quite easily at that...however, they are quickly cutting us loose from the rest of the "crew" and forcing us to be nothing more than a memory. Remember old friends: titlesgain power, power creates greed, greed brings revolution...revolution leads to war.One way or another, we will be heard all the louder before we are completely left behind. Thus, I fight for what I believe.

Tivo,
My friend. I will gladly fight along side you. I must however state that Jon really is making CH look bad. When you were the voice of reason you were looked up to by many novice CH and many read your stories and likely you are the fan-favorite CH. I empathize with everything you want. I come from the PvP faction of this profession and we too feel we are not wanted. I just feel that comments from Jon and those supporting Jon's comments are cutting their noses off to spite their faces. This has every possibility to be the multifacetted profession that Bounty Hunters or Smugglers are currently. They have different arena's in which they play. BH as Jedi Population Control. Smuggler as a Buffer/Weapons tweaker. Not to mention normal PvP and PvE.
It is with much respect Tivo, I will fight with you. It is a credit to you that many are still here. It is a credit to yourself that you stayed to fight with us when many were leaving and you had decided to jump ship.
I am not sure what many of us can do Tivo. It is that reason alone I felt we must glue together what is currently the Corral Plan. It may not be the direction that you wish to see CH go, but there are many people who would like to be "breeder" CH rather than "tamer". It is for that reason alone that we must all work together to preserve the tamer population.
So what is my point? There are many of us willing to fight along side you. There are some who wish that certain things did not mean we have to fight against each other. The forums (to me) have lost a productive feeling. We have around one month left until Fan Fest and there are atleast two CH that read the forums attending. Rather than be reactive towards each other, I propose we be creative. Same letters just reorganized if you may not have noticed. And that should be a symbol for us to bring this ship around to pick up our friends rather than cut the mast.
So what do we need to do? We need you to do your thing with extincts. Since you have posted that 100's of CH check in with you and thousands of lairs are still without sightings, why not develop a thread that has substance to this cause.
Such as:
Tivo search Lair X 325425 times and no babies. LairY 02350 times no babies.
Each person would place their count in this thread up until June X and then those going could tally the numbers and present this and pressure for answers. They are already plugging the Corral Plan and hopefully Utility Mounts. It seems to me (aside from newb posts) that there should be threads like these up near the top every day until Fan Fest. It will be much easier for people to get answers (providing the Devs are willing to give them) in person.
Tamers, PvPers, and PvEers alike should develop focused threads that support the facts or create something imaginative. Reactive or creative. Two distinctly different words and approaches to situations. It is my belief we will get more from being creative.
Maybe....I am just making lemonade but I am thirsty for content. If nothing else I am willing to make my own fictional content on the boards.
Iread pluto's corral solution and I swear to Gud Coke spilled out my nose cause i was laughing so hard. CORRALS will be the solution to the current problems with CH? ROFL.
Please.
Tivo is 100% on target. We have a problem Houston. Let's stay focused on the problem, it's called gimping, m-kay?
), and the other profession, Pistoleer, only has two specials considered "working as intended" and being a non-master I only have access to one of those...disillusioned is an understatement for how I'm feeling at the moment...the only thing keeping me around at the momentare the great people that are in the same boat as me and the fact thats it's "Star Wars"...As long as the main part of every day SWG activity is hunting animals, there will always be CH's, as long as the rest of the fighting classes need those animals to be their biggest challenge in daily hunting, we are going to have those animals closely contolled as to how powerful they are. The rancor for example is hunted by all classes and soloed, its level of power is set by how difficult it needs to be for those other classes, we get it as a pet and its going to be weak. So thats the strength of CH pets, we tame what other people hunt, its strength is goverened by them sadly.
Rare spawns tells me that the Master level of CH is undecided by devs, having only one pet tameable above cl60 makes it a bit of a moby **edit** creature. It seems they either dont know what to reward MCH with or dont want to give them anything at all. As far as im concerned when you get MCH they GIVE you 10cl levels as a reward for amaking MCH you go from cl60to cl 70 max. If their is only one animal tameable in that range (cl 65 Bull Rancor) that makes it the desirable pet for all MCH so all MCH should be able to have one. Like having a new weapon schematic for all combat classes at master and then not letting them have it. Rareity doesnt make any sense at all. Why shouldnt a MCH ahve one or even 2 and use it every day and when its vitality is kaput - go get another.
I have no use for rare pets, none at all, I want the best animals and to be able to use them every day, not to gather dust as a show off piece of art, like a cl 75 be pet sat in a hallway. Apart from the Bull Rancor issue (if everyother class can kill not only Bull Rancors but Enraged also why is it such a biggy not having bull babys spawn a lot they should have more Bull baby's and make the Enraged Rare tameable at cl 70). I mean other classes get rare schmatics from tough dungeons, but the same DAY that corvette was released someone has one of those new speeders parading in coronet showing off. the next DAY there are several, the DAYafter people are selling the Schematics the end product and the resourses in Coronet, its rare but not unavailable to anyone with a few creds.
Good grief not only cant say Moby **edit** or **edit** Tracy but the Van (word for Dutch wall that stops the sea pouring into farmalnd below sea level)
So hard luck to the famous actor of childrens classic films such as "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (i wonder ifci can say bang) and Mary Poppins.
Mr. Male Organ Van knickname for Women who make love to Women
Mr. Male Organ Van nickname for Women who make love to Women
in reference to Mr. D1ck Van Dyk3 had me laughing so hard I was nearly crying for a good 10 minutes.

Now that you've read it...
the only statement in their that could POSSIBLY have anything to do with fixing our baby extinction or otherissues is this:

Tivo, what is the point of them fixing the baby spawn's if our pets are completely useless? If they were to fix every single baby right now, it wouldnt making a lick of difference to the profession. So what, does this mean we can walk around with some neat looking creature on our side BIG FRIGGIN DEAL MAN. Big friggin deal....
According to that post, we are about to get a whole lot better.
We are cranking on the Combat Balance, and we think development on it will span 2 more publishes. This is an extremely sweeping and in-depth overhaul that will include the HAM revamp, speed formulas, weapon balances, weapon certifications, weapon stats, profession roles and balances, specials, armor balances, DoT balances, and buff balances. Obviously we want to get this right, so we are taking the time to do so.
Have you ever heard such sweet words? We now have in writing that our pets are going to start getting stronger. Which makes me extremely happy. Gary better make sure to live up to his promise.
Babies not spawning? heh. WHO CARRRESSS!
It is pointless to tame babies anyway, Bio Engineers can make such better pets.

Geesh Loon, I hear those words in about 50 emails a day. Promising everything from enlarging body parts, to losing 100 pounds to making a million dollars by Friday. Really, I don't see anything there that specifically tells me we'll be better off. Hey, I hope so along with all of you, but based on past performance..........
