The only reasoneveryone uses the Flamethrower is because everything else we get is completely broken. Did you see the Rebel Commandos on Endor running around disabling droids? No, they were an elite strike team that specialized in quick, effective take-downs and raids. If they would fix/revamp a good portion of the profession we would be so much closer to this.

Dci, did you ever see a personal shield generator, or armor other than the ST armor? Nope, you sure didn't. The fact is, the devs have what they call a creative license with this game, they have the right to add more stuff and do slight changes to the SW universe portrayed in SWG. And as for your comment about what the rebs on Endor carried as far as weapons,did you see any RL's or Grenades used? Or how about that Lightning Cannon we have that we use all the time? *rolls eyes* Cause you know, I didn't see them using any weapon other than maybe rifles and carbines. There is two reasons that the FT is our most used weapon, 1. Like someone said, most of our others are broken or require other classes to be good. and 2. Flame DOT. The flame dot works on EVERYTHING in the game it doesn't matter if they have 100% heat resist and heavy armor. They won't take initial damage sure, but they will take 3k or more every tic after about 10 secs because thats about how long it takes me to hit someone with a flame single 1 and 2. They just need to balance out the power of our weapons and our class will be fixed. As for you lacking the SW feel in the game, my advice is to participate in the GCW more. Do more faction oriented stuff. Do some of the theme parks. Participate in base raids. Cause it feels pretty **edit** Star Warsy when I'm blowing the crap out of imperials, no matter what weapon I'm using.

Sorry dci, but I didn't see any swords or axes, either. I didn't see any bothans, I didn't see hundreds of Jedi, and I didn't see vehicles being repaired when Luke forgot to put his speeder away when he traveled.

basicly, the true SW universe lacks thecontent neededto make a sellable MMO game. thus, the devs add things that are Sci-Fi-ish, not nesesarily starwars-ish. even kotor did that.



commando is broken. except for the FT, nothing works properly. if you dont like it, take a hike.

Basically I brought that up because first of all, you made a statement about what you saw in the movies. This isn't the movies so pretty much any correlation between SWG Classes and the Movies is completely pointless. This game has more content put in it than previously existed, you should be basing your views of the commando profession on your opinion, not on what you see in other SW games, or SW movies, or even the EU books. I'm not saying you are wrong in your opinion that Flame Throwers are over used, because they are, but they are our only viable weapon. I am saying that you are wrong for trying to prove your OPINION based on what other SW games are like. Thats all I'm saying.
