Changed chance-to-tame formula for creature handlers to ensure that you have a chance to tame and can call any pet that you should be able to tame according to your "tame level" skill. You still need at least some Tame Vicious Creatures skill in order to tame or call aggressive creatures. In general, if your tame level is 70, then you should have a chance of taming and be able to call any creature up to level 70, without additional skill bonuses from species or skilltapes. Tame bonus, tame wild animals and tame vicious creatures bonuses will still be useful in taming creatures in fewer attempts, but will no longer make the difference between being able to make the attempt

Fixed conceal being removed if you traveled within the same planet
Fixed conceal not working on some planets

They also added a new loading screen when you launch the game...it's got the "Teen" rating with the "game experience may change while playing" message on it. Hehe. I haven't seen it before, anyway...noticed it.

Hmm, it will be interesting to test this "balance pass" they have on the various planets.

Well, something needed to be done about Dath, that's for sure. I went there yesterday for the first time since the CURB came out...and it was a ball stomping at every turn. The mobs were so thick that you were getting knocked off your bike about every 2 mintues, but the weird thing is, rancors only conned out at level 60 to me and I was able to solo up to 3 of them at a time with no problems.
