That may be true Anakins but would you rather wait another 3 to 6 months for them to add another 6 to 12 mount types or put the system in now with a basic few creature types and make sure they get all the bugs and balance issues ironed out?

I want more creature types just like everyone else whether it be just to kill, tame or ride however I am happy with what they have added because I know they will always continue to add more.

For everyone that asked about Non-CH's and mounts, all pets trained as a mount will be rideable by everyone, Q and Holo addressed this in the stratics interview. There are tons of links to it. As far as Novice CH go, they are indeed limited to level 15, and falumpa should be level 15.

Guys stop complaining about this. Let them get this out the door so they can put in vehicles and add some starwars feel back to this game. Maybe they will makes droids useful at the same time.

Am I right in thinking that the bird models are the only non-CH mounts? I'm not that familiar with the brack/falump at all, but I could have sworn they were rather tough, and I know dewbacks are above 15, and I'm sure bols must be.


Granted, the bird models are pretty darn fast. I used carrion spats a lot as fighters moving up in levels and they're not going to be a bad mount at all. But I still say wookiees should be able to ride the giant CS's.

Ok I just gotta say you should see how sad it is...


BUT I WANNA RIDE THIS WAAAHAWAHH..


BUT I ONLY WANTED THIS WANANAHAA...


MY Char will only ride WAHAHHAHAH....


Give me a break. Rome was not built in a day. Look at other games and see the mounts available. Heck UO only had horses for the first 3 years. This game is out 3 months and you guys want everthing. I cant wait to see the first guy who complains " BUT I really wanted a to ride a butterfly"


If nothing else I thought you guys would want stuff that works I dont care if a ride a steaming pile of poo... if it gets me there faster and causes no bugs i am Happy. Let these guys get back to fixing this game instead of listening to you guys take overforumspace.

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.

Only Kaadu and Carrion Spat are nonCH. Bol is currently untamable.


Ha! Ha! You painted yourself into a corner! Cloning has to be fixed by then or it won't just be the BE's complaining. And ifa nonCHwants that dewback or falumpasetthey have to get a lowered version from a BE. The Bol will have to come from a BE unlessthey plan on putting babies back in. Hmmm...I like this idea. Maybe we're finally getting somewhere. Wow! A market for something other than pet stims, yipee!


For everyone complaining about Banthas, believe me, you don't want a bantha. Ever watch one try to walk up a hill? Personally I'm glad that Rontos are out. I wouldn't want to see twenty of them standing around in town.

I've had my bantha since he was a baby. Been raising him for more than a month. Even working on CH skills so I can keep him and another pet. But somehow, now that mounts are shown, no Banthas are added. I've only been saving this pet for a MOUNT. Yet he's now useless.


Horrible. Just horrible.

Note, they NEVER said that non-CH"s would be able to ride ALL mounts, they said that they would be able to ride mounts.

Maybe I should clarify why I'm whining that there is no cu pa...

I've been playing this game for a while (2 months), and I'm still enjoying it. It's a great game, really. I don't mind the 15 bucks a month, as I'm having a blast playing this game. I rarely have criticism for this game aside from the serious bug here or there.

But after playing it for a while, I've grown to REALLY hate creature pets. It's one of the major things that bugs me about this game. It ruins the star-warsiness of it all. I've grown such a hatred for these stupid animal pets running around everywhere. The only reprieve I was going to get was to be able to ride a Cu Pa. NO OTHER STUPID ANIMALS. I just want to ride a cu pa. I wouldn't care anymore that 1/3 of the players in the game has 3 graul maulers/rancors/sludge panthers. I just want to ride my tauntaun look-a-like. Now that that hope's been snatched from me, my "dark side" has shown itself.

Sorry for whining. I'll accept that the fates hate me. I'll accept that this game will continue to be pet wars. I'll just calmly wait for cu pas to be released. I will be very happy then. Even if they don't release cu pas, I'll still pay my 15 a month. I'll still just cringe seeing groups with 5 people and 10 Sludge Panthers like I usually do, and maybe complain a little, but then I'll just go on my way.

Again, sorry for bothering you all. You obviously really like this update. I've waited a few months just to be greatly dissapointed that the evil creature handlers won again, but I won't shower on your parade. Good day.

AWESOME!!!


This is great...one of the defining features of the game I've really been looking forward to.


Before you run off Q, I have one question for ya....


When you say "Dewback" does that mean only a plane oll Dewback or can we make other variations of the Dewback onto mounts as well? Like the Mountain Dewbacks?


Have a GREAT weekend Q and all the Dev's too
