Commando Archive

I would have, but with the changes supposedly coming in two weeks, they would be on live before I got to novice commando.

I don't see how pushing these to live without testing on the TC could be any different then having them on the TC without anyone to test it anyways.

Arg I just had a flamethrower made yesterday. I guess I'll have to have another one made after the patch, as this one kinda sucks as well. I guess I'll hold onto it until I see how the specials do for damage after the patch though. And can we get an answer about the AP of commando weapons?

Wow! 2 days and 2 positive responses from the devs! And they even seemed to address specific issues (granted not all of them)! After the upcoming changes Commandos will be closer to where they should have been at release.

great news...

besides, there should be two kinds of launcher pistols:

one at novice commando, armor rating 1

one farther up the heavy support weapons tree (at 3 or 4) also requiring some levels of field tactics, armor rating 2

our cannon type weapons (those which use charges) should get armor rating 3

Holocron,

Can you please put a graphic toggle on the UI to tune out the Launcher Pistols obnoxious explosions and smoke? As an ex Commando and now Medic it is extremely annoying not being able to actually see my fellowgroup members to heal them or to not be able to have any depth perception in all the smoke that is spewed out by that pistol. (I can not tell how close group members are even when I have a target bracket on them.)

Please either tone down the weapons explosions and smoke or give us a way to turn them off. The weapon in it's current form is very unfriendly in groups. It totally kills group members Situational Awareness, you cant see adds or what is going on when these pistols are in use.

I'm not asking that the weaponitse;f be toned down, just the graphics.

But you have to figure some armor in this game is only "Padded" and Ubese looks pretty much like cloth to me (i don't know whats under there) Each armor type has its own rateing as well... Composite i'd guess would have a rateing of 2 or 3... while something else could have a rating of 1 or 0.... these are the ones that the flamethorwer would work decently against.... not a heavy armor like composite... thats where you need a ropcket launcher or a cannon also most vehicles will probably be a 2 or 3... some won't... but you won't be trying to use a flamethrower on an At St unless its the only weapon you have trained in

Also all personal armor (used by players) is AR1 so that theory isnt right.

But does anyone else think we need heavy weapons powerups (I know this is minor, but it seems it'd be easy to implement)

Thanx Holo,

Just One thing, I'm begging you to address, Will the Launcher Pistol always use Pistol Specials? Or will it eventually have it's own specials put in the Commando tree.

If so, we'd like to know, I mean I am a Rifleman/Commando atm, but if this is to be the case then I will convert Rifleman into Pistoleer, but it'd be good to be able to do this a.s.a.p.

Thanx for the info, we all apreciate it

Also, the Beam Rifle that weaponsmiths make.

No one seems to be able to use it. Can you fix it and give the cert to the correct class or remove it if it wasn't meant to be released?

ah, the power of communication

Raph, thats the most inspirational thing I have ever heard you say, except "SWG will come out September 2002" which was a lie from the pit. I hope you come through, and I'll trust you on this, but no lie- if it doesnt happen, I will leave (OOOO big diss :-P) I am willing to wait a few weeks to see some good, worthwhile fixes, besides EQ2 doesnt come out for awhile. You have that long to impress me

Yes, PLEASE with an answer regarding the launcher pistols and pistol specials.
