Some of us are trying Stern... but it is really soulcrushing. We have been commandos a long time, just like you. I personally have had my hopes crushed before my eyes... again. I do NOT want this profession to stay crap as it is. We can't force devs to do crap though. More of my friends who are commando have quit the game, then any other. I honestly think the devs want all of us to quit.. I really am starting to believe that...

I am one of the few, and maybe the foolish, who actually respecced INTO commando.


I realise this undermines those of you who have worked at commando from the start, but I did not respec to master, and I learned what I had to do myself - rather than asking stupid questions.


I've become proud to be a commando, and have developed a respect for the profession, broken as it is. The community, and people in this forum are mature, concise, and role-play their profession in a way that I really appreciate. You guys are what commandos should be - proud, tough, and dedicated to the end.


I won't lie down and see this profession killed off - so let's stand up and sound off like we gota pair.


HOOAH?

A while ago I remeber a dev saying that the changes to commando in the CU were not perminent. And that they would want our profession to be a working template to what it would finally become in a total revamp sometime after the CU went live.


I also recall them saying that requests by the commando's for new weapons or changes would be held off till then, as they put it... commando must be what it is supposed to be, before you can know what its missing.


Well, what happened? did we get revamped with the CU? yes we did, and not what we wanted, what some dev designed... and although im sure it looked good on paper, in practice it is something completely different. I believe that even with a working splash damage/area effect we would still not be able to fight effectivly or offer anything to a group as far as unique abilities because of the hate system built into pve AI.


I think the commando community has to push away from this mass AoE thing, its just not possible to be effective outside pvp with this kind of agro system, and teh fact that ALL our damage is AoE is to good an excuse for the dev's to make our DPS rating and SAC below par of proffesions that didnt even get a "5" damage rating in their weird picture thing.



Commandos need to get together and make it clear to the dev's that this AoE garbage isnt good enough.


-Master level rocket launcher with a built in armor break effect


- Master level grenade with a built in armor break effect ( should stack with the effect of the rocket launcher )


-MASSIVE increase to the dot potential of crafted Proton grenades and Thermal detonators.


-Make the proton riflenon-radius and higher damage! ( at least 50 dps higher then the proton carbine, lowering the SAC would be nice as well... )



We took 2 steps forward and one step back... so lets take another 4 forward and see what happens


Help us helios, your our only hope...

The first order of business with that weapon would be to actually get it to even fire to see how it does in combat with our current state... Not holding my breath on that one. How long has this been live and our Master weapon loot drop doesn't even work?

Many of us have been standing a long time. Honestly, some of us are getting tired.

Well have a sit down while you're waiting for your grenades to recharge - you could sit on your towel and pretend you're on the beach.

Didnt you hear?...towels were nerfed!! It seems that Jedi were whining that the towels were absorbing their force powers so the devs bowed to their demands yet again.
