Heh Garvin I hope you know some good stuff. I been wanting to do Commando for a long time. It is the only combat profession I have not mastered, but it always seemed so broken to me
I look forward to giving it a try sometime though

I look forward to giving it a try sometime thoughA can personally confirm that we have a lot of good things coming our way with the Revamp...problem is, we still aren't sure when the Revamp is actually coming...just lots of speculation...and thanks to the NDA, I can't say specifically what those good things are...
I will say this much though...Commandos will be getting lots of profession specific help that will address many of our issues...and beyond that...The new HAM, Armor, Weapon, etc changes are also highly beneficial to Commandos...Both at the local and the global level Commandos will be better off with the Revamp in the area of PvP and PvE...
Well, my main character was selected to be on the sandbox for the CM community so when they get the NDA stuff sorted out I will hopefully see the goodness

Bull. I get 50k or more comabt XP per giant baz nitch lair. You'd have to be getting 250k weapons XP (and the 25k combat XP that goes along with it) per lair to beat commando grenades.Also, I seriously doubt that you can get 300k FS XP in 3 hours. If youCAN do this, elaborate.

I agree never have i saeen so many commandos on corbantis, im not sure if its FOTM or they wanna use grenades for FS. Either way i dont consider them real commando's.
There's commandos on Corbantis?

I'm from Corbantis and I have laid my flamer down and retired commando completely. Loved the idea of commando, loved the weapons, hated the combat reality. Hated going around and being laughed out and mocked for being a commando.
I have been a smuggler since I started this game 8 months ago, but today I am putting down my precision laser knives.
I'm tired of waiting and buying into the changes are just around the corner deal. I have been holding on to smuggler under this pretense for 8 months and still nothing.
At this point I don't see how it matters what is in the Combat Revamp. Hey I hear a nice stretched escalade is the bomb to be drove around in, but you know thats not going to happen for me in my lifetime or atleast anytime soon. So what difference does it make of what nice seats or sound syetms or mini bars appear in it. Just the same what difference does it make whats in the comnbat revamp its not coming anytime soon. Its a carrot on a stick. After JTL release we are going to have a big surprise from Th and the Devs, I'm afraid it will simply be a renaming of the combatrevamp (foremerly combat balance)to a combat upgrade or something of the like.
For those of you who hold on to Commando I admire your persistence and patience and hope you are able to enjoy teh proffession more than I was able to. Garvin is the best coorespondent in the game and I know he has great hopes for this revamp, I simply cannot maintain hope when SOE is so snub that they can't even make a stupid post thats says what they are doing but rather strings a long month after month with everyone chompin at the bit looking for what TH and the Devs know but won't tell.
For me I'm now going Jedi, it seems to me the game is setup as a thunnel where the end game is Jedi. So I'm laying downmy fightfor a better smuggler or commando or even TKA proffession for that matter and though I never really wanted to be a Jedi I'm giving in to the Jedi game. Sad thing is I could have had a Jedi already had I went into the hologrind rather than blindly accepting promise after promise and thinking just another month, just another cpl moths, just a little while longer and they will fix and they will revamp and they will add. Old Ben asked who was the greater fool... that would be me for 8 months I followed these promises and I certainly feel like the fool.

There is no way that a swordsman makes more FS XPs than a Commando does (I'm a former Master Commando). I use C22s and will cap 300K Combat XPs in an hour and a half doing Solo Group Quenker missions. That is 100,000 FS XPs. Doing Swordsman you would have to do 1.5 million XPs in that same hour and ahalf.

I'm a master commando on corbantis too. I just dont advertise it, because of all the FS grinders taking Field Tacits only. I've been a MCommando since december '03 and proud of it. Never wanted to be a jedi, just a commando. If you don't understand flame away

I have to sayI have Mastered Commando for the force grind and it took me less than 3 days to do the 2 and a bit treesI needed.
I have been getting 400k force xp per buff and know you can do it even quicker, maybe 600k in a buff, with some help.
Despite thisI love Commando and will certainly have my alt as a Master Commando when the Old Man shows up again andI can get Jedi. Commando does rock. Not really into PVP so cant say how it compares but it's the most fun I've had from a profession with the flamer and throw away weapons.
You can't slate people using this to unlock Jedi, certainly not when it brings new players into the profession like myself. It's just another form of evolution.
