This thread has me annoyed with pepole announcing they're going commando and such.. GRRRR

What a bunch of boneheads..

If I remember right, you can't use specials with Lefthand weapons, like the RL. Especially a PISTOL special, **edit** do they think a RL is? The LP? Sheesh.

Sigh. I chimed in. I really cherish our forum compared to others. Sheesh.

While reading this I'm really begining to contemplate suicide.

-------------------------

lol it sounds like commandos are going from one of the worst professions (if not the worst) to the best profession in swg. Everybody get ready for swarms of rocket launcher using commandos using full composite armor (they don't need specials) and killing everything they even look at in one hit.

-------------------------

Now everyone is a **edit**ing commando guru

I also think it blows that everyone is going commando now that were actually awesome. All i know is that i was here as a commando before the Lp even gave HW exp or anything. So go ahead and swarm our class. I'll always know who the real commando's are...

I've been a commando since maybe two weeks after wanderhome launched. I have planned on going Commando/Weaponsmith since they announced classes. The band wagon will come and go but i'll still be here paying 1million creds for a crate of RL's just because heavy weapons are what I like. I had a guy come up to me and say "You like being commando?"so I responded "yea" this was before the laucher was giving HW xp Ithink. So in his infinite wisdom he responds "Well your gonna hate it soon" and at that point being able to respond "I've been a commando for a month" was the best feeling. I have pride in my class, I like HW's and I would stick with them if they did no damage at all, which currently is not far from the truth. The people who just want to be the uber damage dealing class make me sick, grow some balls and do something because you have fun doing it, not because its the thing to do.

/agree in its greatest form

I agree, i've been Commando since B3, and its saddens me that people just want Commando for the power thats soon to come. I just hope that people are discouraged by the pre-reqs, as I don't want to see people shouting in "leet" while firing rocket launchers left and right. Bring on the changes, but leave the power-hungry newbies out of it. Not trying to sound elitist btw, but I think that must be said.

I will miss commandos being kind of rare but I guess thats the trade off for being powerfull.

Ya it also pisses me off that everyone follows professions. I mean why couldnt you be one from the start ? Like everyone was CH just because they were powerful and now they still are good but they BALANCED NO NO NOT NERF BALANCED the class aout so everyone left. IM glad they left CH though but now they are comming to another one of the profession i have wanted to be since before the game came out.

So ya it kinda sucks i hope they all leave again. But a little more commandos arent bad.

The powerhungry will always go to what gives them the most power (duh). Most, heck perhaps all of us commandos have been saying for months that we should be the strongest pure combat class (debatable where we should be compared to BHs).

If that becomes the case (as I think it *should*) then of course theres going to be an influx of Commandos.

Ruffles is right though, those that have trecked in the path of the class in its bad times have more then whether we are a popular class or not to care about. We get to do what we actually like AND be a (rightfully) powerful profession. Not only that, heck being a Commando in these opening months, and likely for at least a few weeks/months more, is something that takes a lot of dedication. Dedication to the profession and the craft gives us an edge over the people coming because its the "in" thing.

Plus in the realm of short term benefits we've got the edge in that quite simply we already are Commandos. Commandos of varying degrees of accomplishment to be sure, but even having the prereqs gives every Commando a leg up. Getting novice commando and the Field Tactics line takes a considerable amount of combat xp to obtain, the sheeple stampeding here in search of the perceived "best" profession to be will have spent the combat xp they've gained on trees in other combat professions.


The prereqs alone will mean Commando is protected moreso then CHs were when the sheeple herd rampaged in that direction.

Can't wait for the posts of How did you get Master?

It's soooo hard.

I'm happy with the prerequisites. Definitely makes "hopping" into this profession painful at the minimum.

Then there's the sheer pain of what wonderful shots we aren't till at least tier 3.

I've got my list of those on my good list.

Powerhungry l33t d00dz can fork out the 130000 credits for training themselves. Cause it's not me or the other 2 master commandos on my server training them.

While I don't look forward to all the whores who are going to switch to the 'class of the month' I am happy to see that all the commando's who stuck with this class are going to be rewarded for their efforts.
