Actually, there's only 3 mounts, you just get to pick which color you want it to be.

bol = dewback, kaadu = carrion, falumpaset = that other thing. exact same model with maybe another horn poking out somewhere. no banthas, no rontos. sorry to offend those of you who can't stand criticism of the game, but this just doesn't impress. What was it they said for eons about not wanting to do something if the couldn't do it right? Don't you believe it. I'll get one, but only because there is no other option out there.

Good God, for those who are complaining and saying that there is only 3 actual rideable pets, quit your whineing. This is just what we are getting so far, alot more to come in the future. Sure the pets have the exact skeletons and look very similar. But hey it's better than nothing. Here half of you gripe that we have none, and then when we finnaly get them you gripe that they are not what you wanted, grow up a bit ok? And just enjoy the game.

And please, don't give me the "I paid $80+ for this game and I can gripe if I want", because the reality is, half of us paid that much, includeing me, and you don't see us pissin...

Questions regarding mounts.

Hi I havequite a fewquestions regarding creature mounts!.

1. If you dismount them, can youcontrol them like regular pets, so you cani.eattack things ?

2. If you get killed while riding what happens to the mount? does it respawn with you at the cloning center ?

3. If the mount gets killed while you are dismounted, is it lost forever ?

3. Can you attack other players and npc's while on your mount ?

3-2. If so, are they any modifiers to accuracy or dmg ?

4. Are all mounts equally fast ?.

5. How fast can a mount run through terrain, compared to a master scout that run on his feet ?

6. Is it possible to burst run while on a mount ?

6-2. If so, will it increase speed in proportion to burst run while running on your feet ?

7. If someone attacks you while your on a mount, will they damage the mount as well or just the person riding the mount ?.

8. Do mounts have running stamina ? Or do they have infinite stamina like players?

9. Do you have to feed your mount ?

10. Do you need any skills to ride a mount ?

I guess thats it :-)

I know some of you feel we should not work on any new stuff until your profession or gameplay issues are dealt with. Please do not speak on behalf of all players saying your opinion is theirs. It is quite clear looking at all our feedback sources that we need to balance/fix existing stuff AND add new stuff as well. We have a very large team and can work towards that.

If this is the case (andI sincerely hope we are not being lied toonce again here),why are certainprofessions (DE being one of them)being told that content, ie., mounts and player cities, are more important and a higher priority than their profession? And why are they being told that their Dev will not work on their profession issues until these are completed?

Simple questions I think deserve some answers. You Devs have not given DEs or Chefs any info on what they can look forward to anytime soon. I suggest you put this "large team" to work on addressing them for once.

I am so happy that the moment is about to arrive!! I dont care what they are (well - I too was hoping for a cu pa - even kept the first one i ever had and did all the master ch with in the hopes it would be my mount! - but) so long as we can RIDE!!!!! Banthas and rontos are way too slow to be good mounts over long distance. I know this - I used them as fighting pets in my early days. Waiting for them to catch up was a pain. But a little cu pa or wasteland cu pa - mmmm lovely.

I am hoping that mounts will be seperate to our pet quota. I really will take it hard to lose any more pets - its so hard to choose and Ilove them all. A mount-holding space of 10 would be great. Or taming space of 4 at a time - but a holding pen for those already trained? This is going to change economy of game for CH - we will be useful at last.

I too have got tired of seeing so many pets running round. Droids would have been so much better and more star-warsy - but droids got terribly nerfed and everyone lost confidence in them.Well, would you pay 24k to watch something get totally destroyed in the first fight? I watched my son's face as he played his first droid ever - and it got totalled first time out the datapad. His next pet was a cu pa - need I say more?

Mounts are great - very star wars.

Vehicles will be great (please - not much faster than mounts or we are all going to get blown away by the down draft!)

I am getting happier with the game after some very bad doubts and moments of sheer frustration!

Well done devs. Mounts will rule.

Suggestion - anyone can ride ANY mount. But the mount will not fight for you unless you are a CH of the correct ability? Seems reasonable.

Why don't you go post this somewhere else. Maybe with some specifics on what you would like to see fixed.

Other than tha I say hooray for the mounts!

It seems the current fad is to complain about people who complain.....So this is my response complaining about people who complain about complainers.

I sure hope nobody complains about it =p

And I wanted to be the first wookie with a nuna mount...its a sad day indeed.
