Commando Archive

Why is it that flamethrowers/acid rifles do less dmg and hit far less than I do with my DX2 pistol? It's always miss, miss, miss, miss, hit for 194dmg, miss, miss, miss. The hilarity of this is that wielding these weapons gives higher level missions but you are far more likely to die using these weapons for these missions than pulling out the DX2. This is ridiculous. The dmg and miss rate are despicable. I hope they address not only dmg, but accuracy.

Welcome to the Commando profession

What breaking news!!

j/k

It looks like this next patch will clear all this up.

The flamethrower should have a high +50 accuracy at point-blank range and should have a fire DoT. The acid rifle has a better PB accuracy than a flamethrower? What were they thinking?

Let's hope that it does. A lot is riding on this next patch for this profession as a large number of people have taken interest in this class now.

You're new, aren't ya Roth?

**edit** bandwagon jumpers still have no idea what they jumped onto

Well like alot of you on here i have been a Commando from the begining. And unfortunatly the plain truth is as all us seasoned commandos know we can't survive on our commando skills alone. I have found in big hunting parties when fighting multiple mobs flame cone too be very usefull, just hope you don't draw there aggro after using it cause the delay will get you killed. I personally have started a knew character on a different server till they address the commando issues, becuase i spent way too much time becoming a commando too give it up now. I know eventually we will be one of the better classesx and then everyone will be becoming commandos and we will become the knew BH's of the game( a dime a dozen), but i can say i was there from the begining leveling threw all the bugs and crap we old commandos have had too deal with. What strikes me as funny is the knew commandos coming on here and making posts about how crappy the commando weapons are or other well well known issues!!! If you would have read this board first you would have know so don't complain if you didn't research the class before spending the weeks it takes too become a commando.

I have been following the forums for quite a while although I haven't posted and only have actually been playing fora week now(was obsessed with planetside until I maxed out my character). I cannot sympithise with all you commandos out there simply because I have had no experience with it. I can say that I was in Anchorhead the other day and I noticed that a Master Commando was using apistol (could have been trying for pistoleer too, didn't ask).

Oh and yes everyone I know too is a BH. My brother is almost a BH and everyone I know that plays the game is a BH. And yes the character in the profile is my brothers character (we pretty much are goin opposite directions; he is BH and imp and I am goin for commando and rebel), couldn't figure out how to log out and log on with a different name for the forums.

I guess I may be lucky for starting now becuase hopefully most the bugs and unbalancing issueswill be fixed by the time I actually get all the unarmed experience I need without vibro nucklers . If anyone has any ideas to help me out with that it would be appreciated.

This post made me laugh then break down crying then laugh/cry then just laugh .

Commando weapons have sucked since the first person got there novice commando tag its just how it is.

Ahh, yet another post in which I can direct people to read the Commando Guide.

It's all in there.

Welcome to the class in which you will flat out suck with a weapon tree till you master it.

Use the flame thrower or har (using a special) on a mob weilding a rifle, then tell me how much our weapons suck

I have yet to see anyone or anything do higher then 4947 dmg in a single hit.

It's not the weapons that suck, but the commando actually being able to use them effectively till mastery of that tree.

hehehe. I love seeing someone with a rifle. BAM!
