Yes, it's been going on for a while now, but not only is there a problem with mounts following, but also with their HAM not regenerating when you heal them. I was hoping a fix for this would be included in the patch (I think it started after patch 6).

Hopefully that gets resolved soon.





It's a post publish 6 phenomenon, it's been repeatedly reported to the developers in game and on these fora, and TH continues to hold his hands over his head and say "la la la I can't hear you poke-masters!" and ignore the problem.

My bantha has something like 4k health, 3k action, 1.8k mind, 14% resist, ranged attack and dizzy strike special, cl 10 and it was not invalid so you can still have a pretty powerful pet and it may be valid. The damage of my pet is pretty low though as I only use it for tanking not dishing out damage.


My cu pa has over 5k health, 3.8k action, 2k mind I think it was, 5% resist, ranged attack, cl 10 and it was not invalid either.


I had both my pets made about a week ago by a bio eng. They seemed to work fine to me, but come to think of it I dont think the pets followed me after I dismounted from riding them. Maybe that's intentional.

TH, are there going to be any new NON-CH Bantha and Cu Pa's added that will have a low enough CL and will be allowed to have mounts? New wild NON-CH creatures were added last time for the mounts so that CH's could sell tamed mounts (with decent stats) to NON-CH's. Right now I think that the only way NON-Ch's can get a mount they can ride, is to have one made by a BE.

I've only had one problem with the new mounts: and its in conjunction with the creature trade in program. Back when mounts were first announced, (and banthas were named as one of the mounts planned,) I had one tamed, and bought two BE deeds. One of these deeds was used later. For personal reasons I let my original bantha go. I have been saving my other one ever since. I finally desided to do the creature trade in program and get him down from level 15 to level 10. Only problem is he lost all his commands and turned into a lesser plains bol.


I am very disappointed, and have submitted a response to CSR and a /bug report. I'm sure CSR won't be able to help, as they almost always tell me 'sorry its a game feature, and working as planned.' Submitting a bug report will only possible fix things for future people trying to do the same thing.


I love the animations, and I'm glad they were included, but I wish the pet related systems worked accordingly.

I have had my mounts a CL 10 BE cu,pa and a feral bantha Cl15 since the patch went live. I have had the same problems the pets the pets won't follow once mounted and the HAM bars don't update automatically. However with the follow I can get them to follow I just have to spam the button I have binded to /tellpet follow about 20-50 times before they do follow me. Second the HAM bar when healing my pet does update just once they get hit or stored and brought back out. I am in total aggreance about the Non-CH creature level limit it should be raised back to CL 15, plus it makes more sense than creating more species of already in game pets. I would rather see new types of creatures than spin offs.

I would rather of not had new mounts then a BE pet nerf.


My BE Cu Pa is fine but not my wife's. Her's is now invalid. If you are going to nerf something behind our backs inpower the CSRs to fix it. We will delete the pet if we can get our 50k back. We are poor, these pets were a big investment. We thought it was safe to get them.


No BE Pet checks.

I tamed yesterday some banthas of lvl 15 to make mounts. My problem is that i need those banthas with lvl 10 to sell to non-ch players, but i dont need (and i dont want to pay) a BE. I'm a master Ch, so i want to solve this problem myself. I was thinking in the old trade.in pet program with the CH trainers. So i went to a trainer with a non-ch friend to try with a bantha of lvl 1 (still a baby). I gave him the pet and he tried with the trainer...hehe, the result was an stupid Bol of lvl 10 :'( WHY???!!! :'(

Itried this before with a Kaduu and it works. Also I remember that when i trained my dewback the system said that if i want i could reduce the lvl of the pet, why is this not working anymore? Please devs, dont nerfs CHs anymore, we need to live too :'(

Bug Report: Craft Station Intermittent Failure


Steps to reproduce:



  1. Sample any creature in game to obtain DNA.

  2. Use Food/Chem Crafting Tool and Craft Station to make Template.

  3. Use Template to make clone deed.

  4. Sell clone deed to player.

  5. Have player Tame the clone.

Result: Sometimes player will have valid, legal pet. Other times, pet will be invalid, illegal, and be "adjusted" to legal specs.


Expected result: That valid DNA, Craft Tool, and Craft Station would make valid clones 100% of the time!


Architects never make invalid buildings. Chefs cannot make food that requires "adjustment" to be used. No other craft station produces invalid, illegal products.


Obviously, the Food/Chem Craft Station is bugged. Please repair this and let us know when we can reliably use this important tool in game.

Beyond the other, much-voiced but never acknowledged, mount issues that is making them basically useless (no exaggeration) I do have a further point about the cu pa mount. It is just too small. I'm not even a wookie or a trandoshan, I'm a male twi'lek who isn't even at max height, yet I am as tall as a full grown cu pa. I tried riding one for a while but it just looked stupid (not silly or cute, plain old fashioned ridiculous). At the moment I also have access to a wasteland cu pa which is not only far more respectable in pure size terms, is also a perfect match for the tauntaun from which the cu pa was obviously derived. However, such a creature is restricted to CH only. Additionally, if a BE does make a cu pa of whatever level, because the re-sizing of models according to CL was not introduced as advertised in the BE upgrade, that will also be one of the tiny models that are basically limited to bothans or anyone under 5'4" tall. Please rescale the cu pa to be bigger than it is or, better, introduce a wild, CL10 version that is big enough to be actually ridden.

"Mounts? Havent used one in months."

Ouch! Good find though /points devs to that. So again, we need WILD Bantha and Cu Pa that have CL of 10 just like were givin to the other mounts. That way CH's also have an option to tame then sell new mounts like before. I think wild Cu Pa's are only CL11? Might be possible to drop their CL down just one point to CL10 if the devs don't want to add a few Cu Pa.

I've got both a Cu Pa and a Bantha mount.. both are great..


Except..


New bug.


Incapped pets cannot be healed. you have to force store them and recalled


And all the publish 6 ch bugs are still there.


Please fix these asap, I've given up all my combat skills and now found out that the only defensive skill I have ( MCH ) isn't worth much because anything less than a level 50 rancor isn't going to stand up to the critters on tatooine, without risk of an incurable incap.
