So, they are working long and hard on Creature mounts, another goldmine for CHs. And yet for weeks, not a word about if they are even working on better battle droids for DEs to create. At this point people buy droids just for the novelty of having one. We need to be able to create droids that people actually want to buy.



I think it is outrageous that CHs can sell pets with 5k ham 150-160 damage to anyone, and they dont have to spend a resource or credit to do it. Yet our best Probot has a HAM of 820 damage of 50, what a joke. Not to mention the resources we have to collect, and the time it takes to construct the numerous sub-parts that go in to the final product. And if we crit fail on final item, too bad, all the resources gone. Meanwhile, a CH can just keep trying to tame a creature until he succeeds.



If creature mounts and vehicles are added before more and better battle droids I'm done with SWG. I did not buy this game to play Pet Wars, it's supposed to be Star Wars, and I think we can all agree droidswere numerous in every movie and book, while pets??Hmmm dont seem to remember all the people running around with animals in tow.

Looks like it's attack of the 1-starring creature handlers...I gave you a higher rating to try to balance it out.

I gave you 5 stars....you're absolutely right.


They're working hard to add mounts to let us travel just slightly faster than regular running instead of adding more useful droids for you fellas. Doesn't seem right.

I'm wondering if they are adding creature mounts to allow mission lairs to spawn further away from the city and reduce the amount of bugged missions/problems with lairs spawning on developments also, but making it seem like it's a cool bonus to us.

Of course I'm in agreement with what people are saying regarding our problems, but what was the new update specificly having to do with us?

Yes, again another post the Devs will not respond to. Another good post with good intentions made by a person that cares enough about SWG to take time away from the game to post.


One person is all it would take to make hundreds of people feel better, to inspire hope for their beloved class. One person to take 3 minutes of typing time to tell us whats happening. One person, Sony. One person LucasArts. Just one person, in this specific situation, CAN make a difference. One person.

Jedi will never be a starting profession...Looted items and quest items will never be better then crafted items, this is not a loot based game...CH will return shortly...CH and BE will not be back in game...Rangers are getting their revamp next!...The stealth system will not be changing in the spy expertise...Need any more examples of things the devs said that did not hold true?
