Probots are offically scap metal. If you are not a CH you can only call 1 pet no matter the type.

this thing TH is going to post better be good because this is complete bull**edit**

I was just thinking that too, alot of people only bought probots because they could be called along with non-ch creatures, oh well.

On the other hand if this new "plan" involves combat droids as good as Non-CH pets, maybe it'll mean less pets runing around and more droids. yay!

o well...can't wait for post......ARGH!!

Hiya Skybane...I have to disagree. With the CL dropping down to 10 and the discussions they are having about rebalancing CL for all creatures (dropping armor down for creatures below CL30) I think this is a good thing and will make probots more viable...Am I missing something?

Ywi

yes, but now non-CH's are limited to lvl 10 pets, which is a huge benefit to you DE's

Krevols, Mountain Beetles, Wrix, Gurrecks, etc will all be unusable by non-CH players

Well, it's also combined with NOT being able to use pets > CL10 if you're not a CH, so lots of people are going to find themselves needing something to act as a guard. Rock Beetles, Cowardly Gurrecks, all the popular pets are going to be useless to most folks now.

As I was reading that whole Thunderheart post on CH, I couldn't help but feeling that TH has succumbed to the Dark Side. It was stinking of the platitudes trying to pursuade the masses of the goodness it pretends to be.

Thunderheart, no matter how many times you try to polish a turd -- it's still just a turd.

The changes are good!

Only having one pet out gets rid of one player armies and a lot of the p0kemon problems. Hopefully the combat droids the devs introduce will be great!

Your missing that they are changing combat as well. Now NPC's and creatures will have a chance to see you can attack you instead of your pet. People won't be using probots or creatures for fighting except in a group. This really hurts the solo crafter like myself who does all his own harvester runs.... there's beasts in those hills!!

I still don't like how probots can take about two shots and then they are done.

As for the called pet thing, this is really going to hurt the Imperials. Now they have no way to balance the fact that there are way too many Rebels.

Two shots? Maybe against super-high level creatures, but mine can take a pretty good beating.

Personally, I think it will suck for the rebels more since one ATST is still pretty powerful.

Actually probot sales are going to skyrocket because of the non ch pet level cap changing to 10. Nobody will use a non CH pet as a tank.
