...unfortunately, it is probably one you won't like.

There are currently two tamable creatures that are unbalanced due to an abnormally high armor rating. The Gurreck & Giant Sand Beetle are going to have their armor changed from Medium to Light.

We're going to have to go through the armor ratings for all creatures, particularly tamable ones, in the near future, to catch any other glitches like this one.

Hmm, probably a good change, might hurt those who exclusively use CH as their combat form.

Instead of lowering a gurrecks armour from 2 down to 1, why not raise its cl from 50 to 60 ?

WTH!! Gurrecks already have a HUGE disadvantage with a 30% to hit.

We get nerfed, now all of our pets are being nerfed, this is absurd.

Holo, please explain why these creatures are "unbalanced", and why this change is required.

BTW, hows the work on the pet pathing bugs coming along?

if the gurreck is lowered to AR-1, reduce its CL...I can get 10k ham boars from Endor that are only CL 30 or so....

If you're referring to the blood-frenzied wolf boar, they're CL 40.

Guys,

I'm sorry this is my fault. Every time I join a profession they nerf the hell out of it!! 

On the bright side I will be attempting all profs so that I can spread the nerf around!

This is fine Holo, but please.. throw us a bone or something.  At least tell us where we stand on issues like pet deletion problems, PVP Deathblows deleting the pet, non-CHs able to store 10 or so pets while Novice CHs can only store 2, etc.

 

Please.

Well, given that the whole of CH is unbalanced and horribly underpowered after the last nerf, who cares if they nerf 2 creatures.

Sorry Raph, but that's the way it is. Hitting CH with a CL limit level without testing to see what the profession would be like once the certifications were in was a horrible way to go about things.
