Thread: Creature Handler major update on TC
Glad CH's got help, this definately will make them amazingly fun to play, but why do I feel like we're still in the middle of the Combat Upgrade server downtime waiting for fixes on everything in the game to update?
Entertainers needed changes
Creature Handlers got broken
Squad Leaders still don't have the benefits they need
Most of Jedi Healer is useless apparently
BE's are going to need a publish to fix the pets they make
the spawning system is still a mess
And smugglers still aren't smuggling
I'm sure there's more. Maybe Ranger just isn't happening anytime soon. Shoot, I'd be happy if the adhesive mesh worked and came in a stack bigger than my johnson.
I can't think where they got this idea from
This will make CH much more fun, specially if the high end abilities are given only to high end creatures. Maybe a Master CH could make money teaching high end abilities to low end pets then selling them, or charging to teach an ability to a another persons pet.
i love that part about the CH learning specials from their pets, then re-teaching those specials to other pets.
CH has been one of the most broken professions around for a long time, nice to see them gettin' some love. (especially since i have some CH skills)

The retraining pets thing is straight out of [rhymes with pow] (and other games?). I am not sure how the new xp works, but in Pow, your pets earned xp/levels as they fought (there were no such things as babies, so they didn't grow).

I wonder if they are referring to another SOE title.
I am also wondering whyRanger has nothing before these major changes, not even bug fixes, re-enabling of /rescue, nothing. What happened to the Smuggler / Ranger / Squad Leader progression of fixes and add-ons that was an alter of a promise for revamps on each?

Wow!!! 
[i mean the exclamation "wow" not any sort of abbreviation]
meh. I don't think borrowing good ideas is a bad thing. Which game introduced the concept of controling pets? Which game introduced the concept of mounts? It wasn't WoW. So technically, anything that they do with pets is a result of borrowing from other people. Every MMO borrows good ideas and put them into their own system. and every RPG that uses a d20 system is borrowing off of pen-and-paper games, so I really don't think we should worry about where stuff came from, just see if it works well and if it's balanced.
... but I must admit I'm a tad jealous....
