Why is my CL20 Bull Bantha a litte bit faster than my CL19 Wasteland CuPa?


Also: The only decent sized CuPa is the Wastland one.

yea found that bug annoying.


How bout reconstructing skill tree for ch so at novice you can mount lvl 5-10 level pets and it goes up as ch levels do so like at master you could mount a master level pet as long as it is of able size to ride that would make more sense and then maybe mounts would be used more since speeders no one really cares about all my mounted pets and training of em either its almost a useless skill and pets speeds should be based on lvl and size. Just a thought maybe a bad one?

Believe it or not I still on occasion choose to use my mounts, for short npc missions mostly. The new mounts look great and asside from the bugs that have been reported they are fun. For me anyway. I just had one small concern (not meant to be a complaint per se as it isn't a big deal) The cu pas are too small I agree, they look silly. We need non ch wild versions of them, and lastly Wastland cu pas are slower than regular cu pas. I prefer riding my wasteland cu pa because it looks better but shouldn't it be at least as fast as a regular one? It has longer legs after all and I'm not asking for a super fast wasteland cu pa just tweak..a little one.

ever wonder why they bother posting these .... What do you think threads then seem to ignore them ?

You guys were takeing the servers down on an almost daily basis to fix bugs in the begining, now it's more of a monthly basis to fix bugs then add new ones.

where has the customer service gone?

Before adding any new mounts into the game can you please fix the old ones so I can fight alongside my Miko (Spat) again? I got Miko because I wanted a mount and needed a combat companion, now he is mostly useless. I would have him unmounted if I could just so I could go hunting with him again, but that option is not open for me either.

Who do I complain to about TH's disregard of our lists? He has not answered anything with one iota if intellect when he has answered. He is an employee. If you want to have the nepitism at least give him a bilateral transfer where he has nothing to do with the community. He is so out of touch with the game it is hard to believe he was once a player.





I've felt for some time that TH has autonomy.He's got no say at all in what happens.He's just the mouth. I'd like to see the President and CEO come on down hereand get into the game like the rest of us, pay their $14.95 each month and really play the game. Then, finally, they'll see and can fire the current guys who aren't doing it right. Get someone in there who loves the game, loves the challenge and is smart enough to make enough of a stink to fix the darn problems with the game once and for all! A lot of money goes through this company. A lot of moneyI and otherscan take somewhere else.


Get a clue Thunderheart. You're not working with the right priorities. A lot of coders and programmers out there would love a good job, just for the pleasure of fixing the game. Hire them to fix the bugs. Then you can play with the new stuff all you want. Can't you see? You are losing gamers left and right. In trying to keep the gamers you have, you are promising more and better, but you are screwing up what was already working right. You're running out of professions to mangle. This game still has potential. Fix It.

I'll make another one now that the publish 7 is actually live and see if I have any better luck, but this is first impression (even if it is just bad luck on creations, not true for other folk).




Making a Cu Pa below CL10 is very possible. I can make them with HAM: 5K / 4K / 1.3K with special attacks


My friend made it with 4K / 4K / 2K with strong poison and disease. If one is someone who prefers high mind, CL10 Cu Pas can be made with 2K / 2K / 4K HAM. That high-mind Cu Pa was a level 8 before the patch though. After that patch, it turned into an exact level 10

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.





Speaking of bugs, I'm not sure if I encountered the same bug.


I was hunting on Dathomir, and my pet was incapped. My friends and I weren't able to heal it. So I stored and repulled it, and it got full health.

Love my Bantha - this is a thumbs up and welcome addition to the game.


But I have to chime in on the subject of mounts - Why won't these things follow me???


That is a pretty serious issue that others have brought up as well.


But this is a direction I would really like to see us keep going in, new and more varied mounts. Personally I would LOVE to have a mountable Malkloc! (Or some other disgustingly huge creature, maybe also a Fambaa.)


Just make them follow and even bigger, and I'm REALLY happy.


Overall great work guys.

Just so no one gets way over their heads, the bug where your mountable pet doesn't follow instructions has been occuring for a little under a month. Not sure when it was introduced, but it has made the majority of my pets worthless.







Actually, it's been around since publish 6.


Since mid-February.


So far, no answer on when this issue is going to be addressed. Perhaps when the devs get out of their Y wing cockpits to address the Butt Slide.

Have you checked these pets recently? I made several with HAM at just over 1k and low damage but with specials and ranged attack. All but 2 of 10 had been nerfed down to 350 HAM and they did not get nerfed at the sametime. The nerfing seems random but consistent.


By bio-engineering you are attempting to improve on nature by manipulatingDNA to either remove a badDNA strain, create a stronger version, a lesser version, improve the DNA strain, etc. Cloning creates an exact genetic duplicate. The BE community needs to know what acceptable stats are for non-CH pets. Even CH pets are invalidated.


Check the BE forum, read the postings by the BEs, check the dates of their posts. Look at the new Advanced BE guide - OMG - SOE Cloned the BE guide. Isn't that special.
