I started out as artisan, then mastered scout, merchant, image design, marksman, and now commando. I honestly have to say that commando is the most fun profession I have played so far in the game. I have really enjoyed playing with the flamer and the rocket launcher and I want to try a beam cannon. I have found that if you practice you can be very proficient in soloing most creatures even after the last update. I really think that especially when they get the balance of the game to where they want it everything will make sense. So chalk one up for saying "swg, I love to play!!" Not to mention, I have played this game since beta 2 and it was fun then but the devs have really made some major acheivements in my opinion.

p.s. Please don't flame me too hard since I am only being honest and giving my own opinion.

Nobody is going to flame you unless they are just out trolling...

There has to be some part of the Commando profession that we all enjoy otherwise we wouldn't be Commandos...

I love being a Commando...I love using my FT...I also love having my Commando skills to combine with TKM...

But it is our love of our profession that increases our desire to see fixes and enhancements made. If we didn't care we'd just all walk away...so I'm glad you enjoy playing commando and you take pride in our profession...never be afraid to show it...We often get flamed, but we are the Master of the Flame after all...

I love being a commando, but I want it better, and am a bit agravated at being nef'd without being fixed.

I am being optimistic and expecting things to get better, but I believ that if I do not voice my oppinion and concerns, along with my fellow commandos, that we will not see needed changes anytime soon. After all, it has been MONTHS of conversations, praises, complaints, whines, etc. and still we do not see any help. It seems as if the code that was written for SWG makes it extremely difficult to make fixes to the commando profession, but nerfs are very easy to implement. That is the frustating point.

An as I am sure you enjoy using your FT, I am quite confident that your feelings are not the same with other commando weapons. We would like all of our weapons to work. We are commandos after all.

I now hate commando. The proffesion is flawed in many ways, even if the entire proffesion was working. The trees dont make sense and even with the fix, we will only have an effectiveness at ~17m. Our LP has no tree, they would have to add the skill modifers for a tree and it doenst look like such a thing is on thier plans.

Least defensive mods of all proffesions yet we are forced to fight close up unless we pay rediculous amounts of cash of heavy weapons that miss and even if we buy skill attatchments, they dont work because they increase stats on a skill that doesnt exist. As if thats not bad enough, HAR is just Flamethrower lite with no dot and both of those are AP0, that greatly reduces our capacity to do damage in pvp, as well as all the counters available for the flame dot are just rediculouse. Am I missing anything else? Oh yea, grenades and rockets dont work in caves or indoors.

I expected commando to have an assault rifle grenades, and all that assault weapon equipement tp be a very viable combatant. I dont want to be uber PVP, but i dont want to be at all a pushover as we all are now. I chose wrong. I dont NOT want to be anti vehicles for the tiny insignificant fact that the only vehicles are only AT-STs and swoops/landspeeders. ATST's are hardly used and only fightable if your rebel. The other vehicles can be taken out in one shot by any other elite proffesion very easily. This in turn makes commandos jobless as to what the devs want us to be. So why do we exist in the firstplace? Turrets now reach further than our maximum distance so whats the use? Nothing make sense and most people think other wise because they choose to be ignorant.

Droping M commando for TKA and rifleman. Im sick of the missing, im sick of no deffenses, im sick of being told my proffesion isnt broken ( excluding JustG ), im sick of the people who cry nerf when theres lots of ways around whatever smashed thier whiney faces that get our proffesion gimped beyond repair.

Commando is a cosmic trainwreck. Im not going to sit idle and waste my time waiting for a fix. When 0% of your players are commando then itle be fixed probably. Till then , were only gona get *fixes are coming soon*. Soon doesnt cut it for a product thats paid for monthley. Thanks SOE, havea nice day!

/end rant

Cya guys, good luck with commando, thanks garvin, maddog, and lords for trying thier best to help commandoand anyone else that has helped, sorry i cant name others right now. I honor you all for your vest efforts. God speed commandos! Guess im not a true commando but i feel like living more than 10 seconds in pvp

I was in a similar situation as you. I started playing SWG as a Master Artisan/Master Droid Engineer. I switched a while back to try Commando and I absolutely love it! As I approach master (two blocks away) I can honestly say that doing the missions and a little PVP here and there has been well worth the switch.

It is alot of fun... but the fact that it could easily be 10x as fun with some simple fixes drives me mad at times.

I do like it....I like it a lot. It may not be ideal in all situations, but it's fun to cope with the difficulties.

As I've stated before, I'm a Master Commando for life (or at least until the space expansion).

I enjoy burning stuff....

Commando is the only prof that can really burn stuff...

Therefore, I enjoy Commando....

...it is the rest of the game that has been pissing me off to no end in recent times. It is like sugar; empty calories and toxic in large amounts....

I'll be honest and say yeah, I do enjoy commando. The one tree that we do have does provide a lot of entertainment for me, but can you just imagine what itcould be like with 4 working trees? It's a decent profession no doubt but I'd have to agree with what most of you have said, I'd love to see it better.
