was excited. had looked forward to trying commando.
read the boards. but shrugged off all the bad news with a "well, we'll see" attitude.
ya. I saw.
Then I hit 3040 with my newly trained commando.... and realized..... this is the
worst class ever. 1 weapon (FT) and that's broken. If I didn't already have master pistoleer I would have trouble with durnis.
I'm gonna go ahead & use my pistol specials and my un-speccable lag pistol and master this POS prfoession JUSTfor the badge.
I think DE was more useful lol
wtg sony. gg. /clap

Once you master..keep at least novice...the LP is one of the best pistols in the game...at least since you're a Master Pistoleer..it'll be used properly =P

While Commando is seriously gimped and needs fixing...if you can't kill a durni with a flamethrower at flame 4...you're doing something seriously wrong.

Don't get me wrong. you can kill the durni in front of you. just not the one immediately behind him. or to his left... or right.
because apparently it says in the Webster's at Sony:
Cone: (Kon) n. 1. A single point directly in front of you.

I have to say that you just aren't using your commando correctly. If you are not devastating everything in your path with the flamer then you are doing something wrong. I know that it is broken and all, but it is still a very fun profession.

Everything in your path?
Try that against an armoredTKA/Fencer/Rifleman/Carbineer/Swordsman/Pistoleer/Pikeman/Jedi/Carbineer and let me know how well it works.

yes, cone is broken...how cone works (in my experience) is it will hit enemies in a straight line if they are right in front of you, however, if you are far enough away it hits somewhat like a cone should....and if you need specials to kill durni then there's something wrong with you... FT is a good weapon, no it's not as great as some others, especially in PvP, but in PvE it can be very usefull...

I know garvin is working hard but I kinda feel like umm well I can't say it with out pissing some one off hehe. But any way It seems he is a good corospondent but they keep feeding him the wait stuff then the we will fly you out in like a month that way you all will shut up and have faith stuff. THis is not a bite into him but into all Corospondents and SOE and what they are doing to try to get them to ease our minds when in the long run we are just sitting waiting for another dam 2-6 months. If they Delay this again I will not only quit but I will trash talk this game in every forum I know on every board I actualy visit. Not intentianly just doing it but any boards I visit. This is just unexceptable any more. And I hope by the like 300 accounts all ready closed has shown them something. Less money should do something to effect there judgement and help speed the process.

I'm a novice commando and surprised by the sheer stupidity of most veteran commandos on these forums who moan about not being good - especially in pvp --- ESPECIALLY vs jedi.
As a novice commando I nearly killed a jedi knight (I'm a BH too.. or rather was -- weaponsmith now to build lots of grenades/rockets, then back to BH/Commando)..
How? Easy ... Rockets. Stand as far as possible, eat a snow cake then fire - watch his buffed health drop by almost 1/2 in 1 shot. -- note, this is at NOVICE.
Imagine the horror of a master commando... fire 1-2 rockets (can probably get 2 off by the time he reaches melee if you engage at 64m)... eat that food that gives 100% attack immunity for 5 hits (forgot the name)... make sure you have snowcake still and lob grenade after grenade.... 2-3 is all it will take before he drops dead at point blank... I've seen this done by a master commando and I know it can be done especially considering the success I nearly had using a rocket launcher as NOVICE.
Why does it work? Well duh, c'mon commandos - you know the answer to this... this is your profession afterall right?
Rockets and grenades CANNOT be blocked.
Commandos are not weak - people are just ignorant.
And don't give me the bitching about cost of rockets.... everyone can do Mokk missions on dantooine for 30k credits each in well under 5 minutes (I was doing it as a carbineer earlier in usually 2-3 mins).... do 2 missions for the reward and you can afford a rocket with 30 charges right there -- more than enough for a few pvp matches... do a few more missions and you can afford even more - enough to use occassionally in pve even.
Stop underestimating yourselves - if a novice commando like me can see the immense potential just waiting to be used, then you veterans should too.

Dunno what server you play on, but on Bria, you can't get a Jedi to stay in range long enough to fire a rocket, let alone the several needed to incap. They're masters of running in range when they're healthy, and out of range when they need to regen.
Maybe you faced a really crappy Jedi?
