Grenades need to be useful. I think that grenades could be used to add flavor to the commando profession. They already do different types of elemental damage, it would be cool if they also added in state based effects. In addition to that, lower the HAM costs, remove the damage yourself problem and increase the number of nades in a stack.
From a theme based perspective, it would be nice for commandos to have an actual niche somewhere in the universe. Some purpose for existing. I haven't played in a long time because I got bored with the "go to point A and kill something" game play. At this point I'd rather play starwars battlefront because it offers richer "go to point a and kill something" content. SWG really needs to increase the "Starwarsy" feel of the game, hopefully jump to light speed will do this.

Since Tiggs is posting this same thread on every profession I wonder what the actual value of it will be to said professions.
Is it a ruse to get people to think that someone is listening and may actually do something?
Ah, to be old and cynical.

Heya Tiggs, personally my biggest issue is the lack of being able to use the Bazzar to onsell trained wild pets.
Presently I can make a living via scout/ranger services but nothing more than a novelty transaction or 2 for CH.
This issue only just nudges out painfully infrequent spawns of some of the rare pets.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Well, I take back what I said earlier. Instead, just remove these professions from the game. I think the damage is too intensive to fix at this rate. We all know how much Dancers and Musicians rate in comparisson to the oh so holy combatants.

My two cents:
- I understand the concern with stomachs emptying on cloning, but the solution you've come up with seems lazy to me. I see no reason why food/drink buffs should be handled any differently than doctor buffs. That is, with doc buffs, the timer AND THE BUFF go away when you die. It should be the same way with food. Take my buff away and empty my stomach. That way I'm really starting over from scratch and can jump back into the game. Now it's almost like griefing the user, so I'm dead which sucks, and I also can't go hunting again for 45 minutes until my stomach empties and I can drink more Brandy.
- The barrel is really annoying. I believe it was intentionally broken and will never be fixed, which is fine with me. The stack bonus for casks is plenty for my customers, and I'm used to the current system. However, now I've lost one of the rewards of being a master and that's not fair. I think it should be replaced with a new schematic or some other equivalent reward.
- The quantities of resources required to make BE additives is pretty annoying. It makes BE additives so expensive that I can't afford to use them in most foods and turn a profit. I've never been able to make a profit on high quality Accaragm for example. It doesn't make good business sense to take a resource (BE additive) and craft Accaragm with it when I can put the same item in Brandy and end up with a much higher return and quicker sales. Therefore even though I consider myself one of my servers best chefs, I only stock a narrow line of product that I can get a great return on and after a while it becomes boring. If BE's could make more addtives with the resources they harvest costs for chefs would come down, prices for food would lower, and I could make more money on more foods and stock a larger selection.
- I also hate having to worry about non-edible resource harvesting. It sucks to need Lube Oil for Vercupti.

You mean like the months of saying the combat balance is next publish to keep people playing? Or anouncing the removal of recursive macros what was it 2, 3 months ago? and never saying another word about it again. I guess maybe i'm cynical too.

Tiggs, one other thing I'd really like to see in the combat balance:
Power-ups for our non-consumable weapons.
We have powerups for grenades, made by Artisans, and as a Master Artisan I'd like to also be able to sell powerups for Commando weapons. I know at first glance this may seem outrageous, but EVERY other combat profession can power-up their non-consumable weapons. Why can't we power-up our non-consumable heavy weapons?
Some may say, "Whoa! A 30% powerup on a Flamethrower?!?" but I say "Whoa! A 30% powerup on a T-21?!?" Why not a powerup for my Flamethrower?!?

Tiggs, we all know what our proffession needs. But it seems like we all also agree that one of the
biggest problems is outside the game....communication. Most of us have asked for you to please post here.
Let us know you have been here and have read our requests and concerns. We have yet to see you back here. I know that JTL is coming out soon. But please a little note. Unfortunatly as brought out above there has been a reputation set that we had hoped you would break. ??

I NEVER post to these boards although I've played for a while, but recently I've been struggling for a reason to keep playing this game--so I come here for hope,and thought just maybe things were about to turn around--but....

Tiggs,
Hope to see you follow up to this post soon.
....question:
Does Tiggs respond to these posts? I've noticed this SAME exact post on just about every profession's forum. Maybe he reads them, but I doubt it--afterall we have hundreds if not thousands of lists posted all over our professions' boards--he could easily just read those. I'm starting to think this is more of the same, and that ScoutMastr had it right from the start--sorry for one starring you dude.
...LOL--btw ScoutMastr, I see you changed your original post!

Thanks for the quote. Since you asked and I like knowing things. I love being right. I thought I would check.

Other than the Commando forum CH is the only forum not replied to at all. The shortest turn around time seems to be 4 days. The longest 32. The average is 13.
Nothing in her final posts have alluded to anything. Nor do they deny anything. The volume of her posting is less during the faster turn around times. She has a pretty high volume now. My guess is look back in 22 more days and she will thank us.
Note to Tiggs. I read in some of those posts you played? How long? What profession? Want to become a CH on Valcyn and come hunt with me? I can show you what being CH is all about.
