You can't be serious...you can't be!




How should I put this...hmmm


NOPE


Commandos aren't getting any direct NERF'ings from what I've seen First Hand!!!


Overall combat is getting some significant changes that may feel like NERF's to some, but Enhancements to others...and overall, Gameplay with be 100 times better in my book...


The Uber powerful professions will not feel so uber anymore, and at the same time, the weakest combat professions won't feel so weak...now that's called Balance...


If you've ever trusted me in the past, trust me now...Good times are coming...You'll look at Commando in a whole new Flaming light soon...I PROMISE!!!

That spokesperson has never played a commando.

Think about it this way...imagine 5 people all sitting in chairs...some chairs had longer legs then some other chairs...


Now imagine that someone came through and leveled out all the chairs to the same height...the folks on the bigger chairs would feel like they were nerf'd...but then when you looked closer, you'd see some chairs were leather recliners, while others were rockers, while others had wheels...Your chair was special and specifically designedto how you like it...


Ok...that really doesn't make much sense...Just trying to say that Combat will be revamped in a way that will fix a lot of issues we currently don't like about combat...Our Chair is staying the same height as it has been while other elements are just being evened out a bit...and if we like the leather on the Rifleman's chair, we just have to go get it...


We aren't getting NERF'd...After the Revamp we will still be considered the Heavy Weapon Specialists capable of the Heaviest Damage...We will just have more chair options open to us...

Recently its come to SOE's attention that Commando's can actually use Ranged Weapons which apparently goes against all SW lore in both the movies and EU. So, to rectify this SOE decided to replace the Commando's current skill trees with the 4 new ones.

Paddle Ball I II III IV
Pearing Knive I II III IV
Silly String Tactics I II III IV
Whiffle Ball Bat Tech I II III IV.

With these new modifications SOE hopes the Commando's will fit in correctly with the Star Wars Universe.

Who are you and how did you get a hold of the Combat Revamp docs early?

How could u say commando is bad? If my newb friend can dish out 8k damage, he rocks. guess waht he does, and he doesnt even have a good gub and he isnt master yet.

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Hey Garvin, did you think you could conspire against us and we would never figure out the truth? I will whiffle ball bat the hell out of the empire. And i shall bring forth the new Commando Empire, with nice Silly String decore in our palace.


That was great, made me laugh so hard i hurt my stomach.

*sigh* i could spend forever explaining to you how someone who can dish out 8k damage in one hit could be bad, but i've spent ALOT of time explaining that to my friends in game, so i'll just do a brief summary:


3 broken trees
169 skill points to master
virtually no defenses
get pwned damage per second wise by every other combat profession in the game (with the possible exception of BH)

if you want a deeper explanation, read some of the sticky groups.... i don't want to sound like i'm flamming, but I'm REALLY tired of people who think commando is uber because we have high initial damage with our FT... i think garvin said it best: we're a horse with one leg, and you keep telling us how strong that one leg is....
