Time for a bump i believe, if we want this to happen you cannot let sleeping repts lie!

We need to keep this on the front page!!

Oh...I support a reptalon buff.
(You forgot to say "An Corp," or at the very least "You begin to apply bandages to the thread.")

Im in agreement with giving tamed reps something that will make them more useful as a pet. As it is at the moment a fully trained reptalon is a poor sidekick for a tamer, maybe reduce there control slot requirment to 3 instead of 4, at least that way they can hunt with another pet - bake/mare etc.

If they did nothing more that reduce the control slots to two, then I would indeed think differently about my "Token Reptalon"

I agree. The poor beast is nearly worthless otherwise.

I'd prefer to see them 4 slots and buffed than 2 slots and (inevitably) weakened again.

I'd like one of two things:

A. a unique ability to make them worth four slots (my current thoughts are add a flying ability like Gargoyles will have so that humans can get to the gargoyle areas).

B. reduce to three control slots without any nerfing.

A is preferable to B, but I;d be happy with either.

voice your support!

Please please please please please fix reptalons! Or re-imburse me for the number of times a Rend killed me during taming attempts. 100 gold per time sounds fair.... so that adds up to about 5 million gold. Thanks!

Nobody has suggested killing two birds with one stone and making them an anti-dragon weapon? :)

Ah Tamer Wars....

Well my token Rep may be homeless once I upgrade to SA.

Even with the 2 Additional Slots it is way to tight on that account.

Something along the lines of Reflect Fire Damage 50%, which would also hit the tamer controlling it if they're within 5 tiles? :thumbsup:

Add me to the Raptalons need a boost movement. How about we all go and submit questions to the FoF about this and keep up a steady deluge until this is addressed!

Add me to the list of wanting reptalons boosted a bit in some way.

Mine is named Godzuki! Cause he certainly isn't a Godzilla :(!

Why are we resurrecting dead posts?

I suppose you want someone to acknowledge your desire to have better pets... and while we all know the rep stinks... I doubt they will listen.

Though I must agree that it does need a buff or to be reduced to 2 slots considering that otherwise as a pet it's completely worthless... but now so is my unicorn.

I would like to see Unicorns given some sort of buff or at least updated to spawn in a variety of colors, like the Hiryu and Cu do... It would at least add some variety to them and give folk a reason to use one again. I'd also like to see them look more like a smaller version on Dreadhorn.... than the way they look now like an underfed horse with a blue tail/mane and a horn. I think they should look much more like Dreadhorn... Only somewhat smaller and in a variety of colors.

if going by the response in my thread about updating doom arties, then the devs made it clear that new content is the priority,

even reptalons at 3 slots would be ok.

how about tweaking they're damage output, you know how they scaled back the greater dragons recently... find the aggression knob and crank that sucker up.. and leave em @ 4 slots ?

Wow, is this thread still alive?
I just tamed a new Reptalon since I moved shard recently. Near max STR and HP and all resists close to max. Still completely useless. Hit slower and does less damage than a nightmare that require HALF the slots, not to mention dragons or dread warhorses at 3 slots.

Dex is still broken, they swing slower than any other pet at the same dex and wrestling.
Resists are still broken, they still take more damage than any other pet with the same resists.

I finally released my rep. No sense hanging onto something that's been useless for 4 yrs. That stable slot is better used for a squirrel or something....

You know what's really sad...

This post is resurrected again...

Oh and besides the reptalon being completely useless... I tamed me a skree... I told them in Beta that the poor skree either needs to be only a 3 slot pet at max or it needs a boost... it hasn't changed....

Doomed before it can be loved. The Skree has far less hit points than either a dread or a Cu.... doesn't heal or do anything to help itself.... and takes up 4 slots... why??? Again.... dev hate or something.... and much like the reptalon... it only comes in ONE color.... I wish we could tame fairy dragons... far prettier even though they only come in the one color type as well... and are WAY better than a Skree.

A Fairy Dragon would make sense taking up 4 slots... But the reptalon and and skree are sadly lacking any sense at all.

Going through all the effort and time to tame one of these things was my biggest waste of UO time ever. Please give reptalons a little love! :)

My reptalon is named Zazou and i forgot i had him until now. But none of the ideas above seem like they would make them powerful enough, or the suggestions would make other people whine about tamers getting a buff. Dropping these things to 2 slots since mare are more useful and take 2 slots is the one that makes most sense to me.

I do love Zazou though so add me to the list of people that think reps need some love

They should make them a special flying rideable mount for gargoyles and let them fire breath while mounted. (& general buffs)

My suggestion would be to restore their original abilities, as well as possibly drop them to 3 control slots. :)
I agree... they nerfed them because everyone complained.. now they are obsolete... they need to just go back to what it was and for gods sake... stop nerfing everything. Drives me nuts!

I always thought, and have suggested in other threads, that the reptalon be given the ability to parry blows and the bushido power of counterattack.

Plus, restore the some or all damage, swing speed, and resists.

Reptalons

Those all atleast could use some tweaking. Very little use for them.

Runebeetle and nightmare together are still pretty working combination, makes whole lot more damage then single GD or cu sidhe.

Reptelons had their glorious era of about a month. They used to do nerve strike and that's about as good as they get. Now they do paralyzing blow and that's about it.

They don't tank well, don't have useful specials (compare to cus bleed and hiryu dismount) they have ****ty resist, and is considered a dragon so they get killed just as easy. Its really funny dreads are better than those in almost every single way. But there's nothing else in game that requires 3 control slots only and can dish out 50 dmg FB + Chaining spells + 600+ hp but even if we don't look at the infamous oped dreads Reps still don't worth jack in comparsion to Cus and Hiryus.

Just put the nerve attack and fire breathe back in place give them better resist or give them a unique damage distribution like 100% poision or 50point 50fire... at least make them useful even just in some rare occasions.

Yea baby, Lets fix those ****ing repteleons cause god knows over powered tamer pvpers dont have enough critter choices already. I mean **** lets give them back thier nerve strike attack cause it really is too difficult for the tamer/dexer to do his own nerve strike. You might as well give the thing back it's 50 point fire breath as well so it can alternate nerve strikeing and fire breath. Then the tame really just has to say all kill and watch.

Yea baby, Lets fix those ****ing (insert template that just killed you here) cause god knows over powered (insert same templete here) pvpers dont have enough (insert tameable/weapon/special move here) choices already. I mean **** lets give them back thier (insert tameable/weapon/special move that killed you yesterday here) cause it really is too difficult for the (insert every template that ever killed you here) to do his own (insert tameable/weapon/special move that you just can't figure out how to defend yourself against here). You might as well give the thing back it's (insert special move that you do not have but someone else uses effectively that keeps kicking you butt here) as well so it can alternate (and here) and (and here). Then the (insert template that really scares you because they keep smacking you upsde the head here) really just has to (insert the method that is used most often to kick you from one side of Brittainia to the other and back again endlessly because you have not figured out a way to defend youself even though other people do not have a problem but you do so obviously the game is at fault because you are such an uber PvPer that the opposite sex swoons whenever you log in) and watch.
Wow, looks like somone woke up on the wrong side of a Reptalon this morning. :)

Tamers aren't overpowered, they're just a class that most PvPers' template aren't designed to handle. It's your own template flaw, and they're capitalizing on it.
If someone made a mage for fighting other mages, and left off any weapon skill to use the points else-where, they would have no basis for complaining that fighters are overpowered.
...or anyone fighting a necro/mage without resist or apples.
