Good work Garvin, I've been losing faith lately and am desperately hoping for some kind of response and or attention from the devs, for me my character is a commando, I cannot change that any more then I can change him from human to zabrak, if things don't shape up soon, its not a question of leaving commando, but the game as a whole.

I think LordS told TH to wait till he gets back t go over our 10 questions befor giving us the answers, and he seems to feel the top 5 are less important now that we have a 10 questions, after seeing the few 10 questions TH answered with "Its all part of the major combat rebalancing" I beg to differ.
In good faith I support you Garvin, and I hope we can get a bone thrown our way.

Here Here!
I'm not a commando yet. I've been working really hard at it, achieving Master Marksman.
But now I'm grinding out Unarmed 4 box, and well, its taking me a bit to get that done. So I come over to the boards to read all this...stuff about Commando is worthless.
And since then, I've lost my ability to grind. I can't do it, waste away hours doing something that just doesn't have a point. Please respond, Devs, and give some sort of outline as to where you want to take a profession that /everyone/ seems to agree isn't working.

I created these questions to give us some quick answers while we wait for our Top 5 and our 10 Questions to be given attention...
Recently the dev's and TH have visited Smugglers, Swordsman, Droid Engineers, Bounty Hunters and others...some many times...Maybe our time is coming...
We keep being told to wait...wait for a correspondent...wait for the next patch...wait for the combat rebalance...wait until our Top 5 has been reviewed...wait until our 10 Questions are reviewed...wait wait wait...but we need something to wait for!!! Give us something to look forward to know our wait is worthwhile...
We recently tried to warn TH about changes they were proposing for the last patch...Our pleas fell on deaf ears and now those changes are coming back to Haunt us with more NERF calls and Grief complaints then before the patch, while at the same time more Commandos are dropping then ever...Are you ready to hear us this time? If you want to know how to fix the Commando profession, ASK A COMMANDO!!!

...and dont take the advice from Non-Commandos..
Yesterday i was debating my friend on valcyn about commando..and of course was called whining and crying afterwards..but many of my points were consitintly debated on and on here since the dawn of time...anyways one thing that got me annoyed, actually two that my friend said:
1) He said he wanted to see DoT nerfed, and was glad that it happened
2) Said from what he saw, the HAR wasnt that bad of gun
However..judge for yourself as commandos if these are either accurate or would be a good thing to do at this current time...neither would be positive right?
Also..this friend..is a Master Brawler, Master TKA, Master Fencer, Def 4 in Swordsman and Pikeman...his defenses and power is unimaginable compared to us..he tanks Krayts..he can go toe to toe with a Dark Jedi Knight...He once dueld and beat two high lvl nightsisters without GETTING HIT..which brings to a point that i always said that we lacked..the counterattacks..the hybrids need em and/or have a cap on em too...and also he himself said he shouldnt be able to tank a krayt (said he could also kill a juvinile krayt witha stun baton too)...meanwhile compared us to him (like commandos can easily kill krayts..Not dead on brother..only if something tanks it, and even then if we're not careful we die) etc etc..just annoyed me a bit since he never was a commando
And the moral of this lil story? Most of the changes done to us (very few too mind you, both good and bad..could count em on my pinky!) were ushered in by listening to people who were not commandos! as garvin said, and TH before him..the devs wont respond to negative posts here...but..it seems like they're responding to negative posts about us! and if that being the truth..then we wont ever get attention cuz of all the negativity resulting from lack of communication..one hell of a circle
Coming back...I dont think at all up above is negative..neither should the Devs (Opinion on what I see going on)..anyways conceding with what garvin said...i would rather keep the defenses we have, BUT gain some dodge or block or something...in defenses, thats really what we need..also maybe Melee Mitigation 1 at novice or Field Tactics I (heck EVEN my friend mentioned above agreed to this..and was his idea too!) That would Tie us in with unarmed IV
And then of course..specials/mods for LP..ties in with MM..done deal, we're halfway to the road of being fixed with these two additions...and can be rightly ignored for a bit longer..but throw us a bone!

Also, I saw someone post that we have the lowest Damage Per Second (DPS) of the major combat professions... Is this true?

Well we can add Chef, Creature Handlers and Weaponsmiths to the list of forums the Dev's and TH have visited in the last few days (including Smuggler, Droid Engineer, Architect, Bounty Hunter and more)...maybe our turn is coming soon...We've got pleny of questions to keep them busy of course...the ones I wrote are just a few to get us started...
I am going to keep being positive because TH told us they respond to that...so please respond...

/thinking positive
/being positive
Dont opposites attract though? Likes repel. Positive repels positive, negative repels negative. So if we are all positive we will just drive other positive people away, and we will attract the negative people. But if we are negative then we'll drive away the negative people andattract the positive people.
hhmm....its an endless loop.

Well, on a positive note, I just found out you can buy food that adds +20 to you accuracy for 15-20 minutes...
So get to eating!
