Commando Archive

Well having AOE fixed is certainly worth it. However, I suspect these specials are either to provide something for Commandos who do not mix with a ranged prof with more damaging specials (in which case it is better than nothing?) or to control AOE though I have not been able to test the extent of that aspect.

Just keep providing numbers so the Devs notice and hopefully this can be adjusted be more practical.

You know, I'm usually quite positive about SWG, but the lack of thought and/or testingthat has gone into these specials is utterly appalling. Unless they are bugged beyondbelief (which may very well be the case), how could these specials have been implemented when they are soobviouslydisproportionate to anything else in the game? It boggles the mind, I tell you.

yay I can use my new 15 second windup special that does 1k dmg or use my bodyshot for 1.5k dmg ever 2 seconds

or how about... my vehicle demolition special while i stand there for 15 seconds and try to shoot a bike driving by in 3 seconds

GOOD JOB SOE!!!!!

With grenades...the new changes regarding stack sizes/damage applies to newly crafted ones...

tbh , just tested them specials , i aint even gonna entertain them , i perfer using ranged shot than them , meh thats just me tho

The specials still need some work, but let's not forget this isn't the effort of SOE's entire design staff, this is Helios kickin some butt and takin names on our behalf. One developer can only do so much at once, which leaves less than ideal conditions to get a balance on these right out of the gate. I'm hopeful that the theory that Helios is operating under while working on these specials, is that it will be better received by the player baseto go back and make them more powerful as needed, rather than nerf them a week after the first specials we've had post CU are released. Unless there remains no answer on this issue to StarNick's inquiries, let's give Helios the benefit of the doubt. He's done some nice things so far for us, and unlike so many before him, has shown some follow through on the promise to lend us a hand.

Wasn't just one...the specials were the work of not only Helios, but also Keldarin and Jfreeman.

Ironically, those are the three of my favorite developers too...

Glad i stopped in here first. I was thinking of using my respec token to switch my smuggler to commando instead of pistoleer , but not now lol. What a nightmare. I'm sorry for commandos everywhere. Could be worse, you could be a smuggler still waiting.

But for a note the attack that do more damage to driods and building i can see a diffence, but with only by 300 damage to level 53 siver bars. but a AOE is ****ing off the hook. I'm commando/pistols 2-0-0-0 CM and the rest in FS and i was fighting 2 level 82 imps. their was some cloes calls but once i killed the first one the secend guy was a little below half health. the DOTs work better and even if it only 64% it is still a huge help.

EDIT: and sorry about what i said about the crafter, i didn't know he sopport commando with weapions on that sever. all i saw was sumggler and i know from the past their a liltle jaded.
