Commando Archive

It took me at least a full week to get my novice commando,playing as hard core as I couldafter a month of casual play.But since the patch I've seen people retire their entire skill set and switch to a commando in just two days. These people have gone from Expert Bountyhunter to commando, some have gone from complete newbie to novice commando. I mean, this must be some serious powerleveling. I know almost all the "old commandos", I know who's been progressing since I used to get tells from them asking questions, and vice versa.

I'm not trying to be an elitist old timer with this class, but I can already see in a couple weeks these people whining about how weak our profession is once the one hit kills get factored out. They're going to be furious how easily we're killed inbetween those damaged bursts. A lot of the new commandos are just such punks too, I've tried chatting with a few of them being nice but get completely told off.

We are the new power-gamer class, they're flooding to our profession and it's going to get ugly. I can only hope they don't impact it too much - because these are the people who are going to exploit and abuse the commando past its intentions. I hope they don't wreck what we've earned.

personally i'm not and i'll not train ANY of my skill to one of the new bandwagoneers.

(i'm gettin' insulted every day from the new patch and above..but u LAMMAH HAVE ONLY TO SUCK)

I was already Master Marksman, and was going up the TKA and rifleman lines. After getting frustrated with the Melee abilities in SWG, and not really impressed with Rifleman, I wanted to go where the damage is good.

You can call me a bandwagoneer, but heck, you guys are one of the most powerful classes atm, so why not.

So I found a flamethrower, a nice slicer and now have a 463-1002, 4.9 speed flamethrower and WOW! This is nice. My novice Commando can outdamage my TKA with all of his level 1 skills done. It is nice to be where the damage dealers are. Thats what I thought I was doing when I rolled for a TKA.

Actually although you been commando since launch, and played commando for commando sake, and everyone who is jumping on the bandwagon is doing it for powergaming sake.

If they are 80% of commando population, don'tTHEY represent the commando? (I said IF, since I have no idea how many will actually switch over to commando) After all, before this patch I hardly ever saw commandos.

Before this patch, anytime I saw a commando, they were played by dedicated people who want to play commando, so to me commando was profession of dedicated people. Now if all the commando I see are elitist power-gamers, then to me commando is powergamer profession. Majority definately defines the profession for me. But on same note, if there is another big change and all these brats drop commando, then commando will again be profession of players who want to simply play commando.

As a TKA I already had all the skills and points. Just had to raise little bit in marksman and I was done.

40k combat exp.... lol thats nothing. I was trying to save up 80k for my TKA tree on the right and using 40 of it was pretty fast.

You can call me a bandwagon user or whatever, but I am really sick of getting killed everywhere and being a bottom of the line class. I am going to where the game is fun and the damage is. TKA are useless. I know TKA can have another profession and more, but so can a Commando. And 10 useless skills TKA has do not add up to 1 good one Commando has.

Same situation here. I can bet the reason it's happening so fast is there are a lot of TKA/Smuggler/Pistoleers out there that are tired of the nerfs or no attention that other classes are getting. It will take me less than a week to master marksman and bam I'm a Commando on Bloodfin.

Beats the hell out of doing 30 points of damage with a DX2 against armored players.

Oops, meant to say sliced FWG5....not DX2

Well i know alot of people (like me) who have gotten the requiements (master marksman, unarmed 4) but held off getting novice till they fixed it (but like me ive always wanted to be a commando). So once they fixed it, i ran to the nearest commando trainer and picked up novice

Thats exactly what I was.

Well i'm a long time lurker/reader of this forum and I had switched to commando about 3 weeks after starting SWG and I have to say that this profession is going to be ruined. Not because of the weapons and the damage they do, but because we are going to get flocked with the idiots and cheapos of this game who can't stand to do anything but win win win. After the patch was released on Sept 4th I have seen 17 people switch over to commando and what will end up happening is these people will go around killing others and especially imps and their at-st's in a few hits. So if we do get nerfed it'll be for this reason alone.

Be nice to see you hang around if they really give us a shafting in a months time when they decide we are doing too much dmg. Just hope they dont bash us back to down to the state we were in at the end of beta 3.

John people switch to whats fun, not all about winning.

Go switch to pikeman or TKA, you'll leave in a day. They cant do anything thats fun.

Ya see the thing people don't realize is that we commandos can be owned so easliy if the people we're fightign have a brain.

Even at master level I've been owned by carbineer/pistoleer/bh. All it takes is for them to keep moving and try to stay out of 18m range and I'll be owned nearly everytime.

(and that does include me getting doctor buffs - can't do much against eyeshot spam vs bh)
