Commando Archive

For kicks ive been grouping in dathomir with my acid rifle... i have acid rifle box3 and almost about to get box4.. mastery is close.

I will spare you my experiences with that slow POS weapon. It makes me fantasize of dental surgery.

However, it did *really* make me want to be able to use the Beam Rifle. Matter of fact, I had one in my backpack and I fired it for a couple of nests. Sweet lil' rifle.. accurate, nice rate of fire, even Overcharge2 felt nice. Of course, no cert meant i was doing like 10 pnts of damage, but thats beyond the point. What really impressed me was the accuracy, even on the move it had nice hitting ratio.

And it looks GOOD on the commando. Our own, big-arse rifle.

Right now, I really think that if we ask enough, the devs might give the certification for it. They can fix it or give it specials in some of our weapon trees later on when they look into the combat system, but for the time being..

Cert me for the Beam Rifle!

/sign!

I agree. the cert would be nice for this weapon, as it is a pain having to buy them quite regularly, and not many on the Wanderhome server devote the time to make us any.

Maybe im wrong, but you cant miss a nest/lair with a weapon or ?

/agree

Give us a beam rifle!

Hey Tac, it might be happening as we speak. In TH's post about combat changes, not only did he talk about having certs for better versions of weapons at higher levels of a profession, he talked about having a lot more weapons in general, and said that they have been in place since launch, just got to be revived and activated.

Seems to me that the beam rifle fits in perfectly with what he was talking about.

I can't wait. Would love to see the range mods on it. Mind posting em?

/agreed

Oh yeah almost forgot.

/sign

Oh yeah, agree totally!

Ive been screaming for this since Pontious was a pilot, but if we got it we would have to have unique specials for it. Default fire blows goats.

My take? Move the HAR into the flame tree (its the same weapon, just broke) and use the vacant line for the LP and BR.

Come on, it cant be that hard!

You guys have forgottene one VERY VERY VERY important detail. It has to do with some of use playing on lower end systems. Or for that mater who group hunt with bralwers of any type.

That detail is:

the HAR is the only non-charge based weapon with low-graphic impact. i.e. no big fooking explosion.

enter the Beam Rifle:

Its got screwy range mods but it works, it looks good and fires clean. the acruacy is also either rifle or heavy weapons based, so it does it a fair amount of the time. If any range/acruacy mods were to be given, toss them in the field tactics tree or somthing. It don't really mater!

I would really love to be able to use a reliable weapon that doest make a melee fighters frame rate drop to 3 because im blowing somthing off the planet.

/big ol' honkn' agree

heh, i suppose it's just because I mainly play solo, but I for one absolutely love the effects of our weapons. I think the launcher pistol effects are what kept me in the game after i got bored with plain old laser blasts.

What exactly is this Beam rifle? At first I was thinking that he was talking about the particle beam launcher but I know that that can't be equiped but is used like a grenade. So what is this Beam rifle?

It's a weapon the weaponsmiths can craft. There's currently no certification for it, and nobody knows why. Everyone seems to be in a consensus that it's a commando weapon.
