I remember some sort of plant pet that the Matis were going to be able to control, it was called a "cat plant" or something and could be ordered to attack.

Pets are nice ?

You obviously didnt try to play Ryzom while angry ferrets are searching your appartment for food and decide they should bite off your toes to remind you to feed them

Actually thats still in the game

Find a plant called Jubla.

To get it to attack, first select it then hit it with a stick.

Works for me anyway. Its very power for a plant and has magical teleport powers!

Ah yes... well I'm sure u managed to teach those plants how to attack...

swg's creature handler system was pretty well balanced as the mob could be used pretty effectivly to partol form up in squads (if you had more than 1 pet depending on your skill lvl) go to set patrol points. you fed them with food you foraged, or crafted from materials you harvested. they could fight but not as strong as a player char, just helped with tanking, taking a bit of the heat. only swg have an added twist of bio engineer who can make pets with samples of dna from all different types of mob which ryzom wouldnt have

SWG CH's where not balalnced in the beginging they where way over powered, they had to take a nurf to get them to a balance.
