Thread: Commandos, please go read the rifleman board
I was PMed by a rifleman a little while ago, who apologized for the behaviour of his brethren on our boards. Impressed by what he had to say I wandered over to the rifleman board to see if, as my correspondent suggested, we were only seeing the dregs of the rifleman profession post their bile here.
Instead I saw that if anything, I haven't been harsh enough. We gave these ungreatful bastards our friendship and support, and they actually respond to it with.... well, go see for yourselves.
I would say more, but I know I don't have to. Once you all read their posts, any further words of mine will be pointless.
It was alsoinformative for me to see the number who have posted "sympathetic" "helpful" posts HERE show their true colors THERE.
Please, go see for yourselves.
I just posted a response on their board. You can read it on this page:

"Instead I saw that if anything, I haven't been harsh enough. We gave these ungreatful bastards our friendship and support, and they actually respond to it with.... well, go see for yourselves."
Actually rifleman feel commandos have betrayed THEM.
Rifleman blame commandos for the T-21 nerf. They don't view you as having given them friendship or support.
Perhaps that clears things up for you?
Romano, you're not really helping at all either.
I have nothing against the damage of the Commando weapons and can also to some extent agree on that the 2.5x melee damage is harsh. But as every other post on the commando forum.. OR at the rifleman forum is a commando saying he now hates ALL riflemen you aremaking good progress making me another Rifleman laughing at your despair.
You have to understand a couple of things about Riflemen.
The devs told us they got scared by a weapon doing 3k damage in PvE and nerfed our T21 to oblivion.. then they proceed to give commandos weapons that do 10k+ damage.
For FOUR weeks the flamer has done 2.5x the damage against Riflemen.. and a lot of Commandos have abused this and the Revenge TEF to piss off a lot of Rifle wielders. And sure.. I've seen posts on the Commando forum stating you want that removed. But I haven't seen it in the correspondent report.. (correct me if I'm wrong)... but empty talk on the forum is not support.
And it's kinda funny for Riflemen to now see another class saying "NOW WE CAN'T KILL ANYTHING IN PVE WITHOUT A PET"... well welcome to our world. With all the BAF MOBs there is nothing I can kill as a Riflemen without a pet or a group. At least once you're attacked in melee you can still cause damage.. we're just dead.
And yes.. there is one thread on the Rifleman forum about this but if you read it a lot of Rifleman is bashing the one starting the thread rather than the commandos. I see 20 "I Hate rifleman" threads on your forum while much less on ours.
I personally have to agree with my friend above to some extent. I am a riflemen, been a master for over a month and I have had to live with the fact that I can be one shoted by a melee weapon at 64 meters away. I have had some of my friends quite because of a fire effect that every commando I talked to said was fair, and yet could cause wounds to the point that you could not reclone. I would feel sorry for you except for the fact that in another post on these boards, the person is complaining about not being able to do 1200 damage in PVP......... Yeah you guys are so gimed, you can one shot people even after the 75% damage reduce and for some reason you think that that is okay. We riflemen laugh because a popular class is now suffering from something we have delt with from day one. Perhaps with all the whining that now comes from you guys, something will be done about the stupid 2.5 Melee damage. We have been asking for something to be done from the begining, maybe now that one of the devs favorite children is suffering someting will actually happen.
AZ
The Commandos have betrayed the rifleman profession...when we were down they helped us alot. they fought for us..they were there when we needed them.
Then came the big patch that "fixed" the commando and threw us into god mode
Then came all the "commando's" who do not even know or care about our past but only know commando is "UBER" and should not have any penalties whatsoever...the few commandos who stuck it out when we were the laughing stock of the combat profession are now a minority who know who our friends are...
All I can say isI am truly sorry riflemen, however the bandwagoner voice is louder than the ones who really care about the commando class and actually want balance...
/sigh
Wolve44.. someone just called you a nutbag on your own thread.
We fought to get the 2.5x melee damage changed because we knew it was hurting them big time... and now they think it's fair turn about on us.
I remember my classic FT with its max damage of 220, I remember the pains of it. WE WERE NEVER UBER!! Gawd why cant people get that thru their skulls. We were bugged, they tried to fix it, and they screwed it up. The melee modifier is worse for us simply because of the close proximity we have to be in to use our weapons.
And to anyone saying "well dont use the specials" then what is the point of getting all those friggin levels? Go tell your rifleman not to use panic shot, mind bleed or any of his mind shots and see what he says?
To those of you saying "unequip your weapon" yeah great thought in the middle of a mob, absolutely fantastic, how many of you unequip your T21's to avoid damage?
Balance would be removing the modifier completely from the game. That would pull everything back into line, nuff said...
And Wolve44 you are a nutbag...
hehe i may be a nutbag by your definition, however i am true to my class and will fight for what is right...also i remember my friends the riflemen.
But I do have issues with the riflemen and all classes who have AE...as my thoughts is they should remove all AE's except commandos from the game..but that is my personal oppinion.
