Thread: Friday Feature Mounts Revealed
Ok I read somewhere that they'll be considered pets still and that CHs have to specify whether or not they want them to be mounts or not when taming etc. You can fight from the back of your mount, except you can't do any special action shots etc. Dismounting your pet you can then let it attack as usual etc. ok I'm ok with all that..
But why do non CH's have a limit of only two in their datapads? I know I can only have one pet out at a time (no biggy) and I can only have lvl 15 or less pet (no biggy still) but why can't I own more pets. I mean what is the purpose of doing this?
I hope you guys (the devs) do something to address it. I have a regular pet/pet like my dog, then I have my hunting dog, and now I'd like something to ride around. So I understand the limits otherwise, but limiting the number of pets I can own seems well.... dumb.
yes, Will we need to retame a mountain dewback or various other pets to mount them, or will the ones we already have tamed be sufficient?

You know, people's biggest complaints about SWG stem from it not feeling very "Stars Warsy". That's something the Devs have said they are "working" on. So, when a major new system like mounts is introduced, why are a couple of the most "Star Warsy" creature mounts now present? Bantha and Tauntons/CU-Pa's are much more recognizable to Stars Wars fans the some of the creatures in this group. Of those six creature mounts, only two of them could be considered "Star Warsy".Those being the Dewback and the Kaadu since those are stone in the movies. However, banthas were in Episode IV (Tusken Raiders dumped on them after Obi Wan scarred them away from Luke), while Tauntons were very prominent in Episode V. It is really disappointing that those creatures aren't included in the mounts introduction update. Including those two creatures would have done so much to improve the "Star Warsy" atmosphere that many people feel is lacking in SWG.
sure, as soon as we get the hoth expantion ep V stuff can be added.
bantha's are another skelital moddle, would you rather have dewbacks and kadu now, or wait anothermonth and have bantha's start with the line up as well?
/Rant On
Ok, so let me get the straight. Some of you think that since Banthas were in one part of one planet in one movie that should be the first thing the dev's release?? Or since taun tauns (sp?) (same one part of one movie thing) look similar (ok the same)to an animal that is on Tat that they should put that one in? Um, is this Star Wars "Galaxies" or Star Wars "neighborhoods" I mean crap.. They just gave us a fair selection of mounts to ride as a start and some of you are purely focused on an animal that was only ridden by the sand people anyway. At this point I wish they would not release anything to put an end to the whiners on this board.
And as far as having too much money. I have to go to Dath for 3 days a week just to afford my maint, travel expenses, weps, etc. Do you wealthy players just sit around and do nothing but take advantage of the peeps you sell your stuff to? I spend close to 100k daily and my average bank account total is less than 20k. There should be a balance between the understandable realistic attributes of the game and having fun.
Ultimately whiners will be the end of SWG being fun for "everyone". Do I think Commando's and Bh's are super powerful, Um, duh! Do I think the AT-ST has wicked firepower, lol, again, um, Duh! But crap, who cares.. If you want to be the most powerfull character then go be a Commando Imp with 3 AT-ST's instead of trying to bring those uber professions down to where a pistoleer can take them.
/Rant off
Thiis started out just explaining the differences between mounts but you got the $.25 version.
Bug report already. The bol is one of the 6 pets you can train as a mount correct? Then we should be able to tame them right?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!
There are no baby Bols, and to my knowledge the BE made Bol is bugged. This could ahve been a great opportunity to give the BEs a monopoly over the Bol market (bolsshould bethe best overall mount BTWas they are faster than Brackasets).
All you whiners can just go get a Kaadu. They can outrun a bantha and they were in eppisode 1. Most of the mounts out there are better anyway. Just look at mountain dewbacks and compare them to a bantha. You will see what I'm talking about.
If I have offended you with this post, don't flame just disagree.
