Thread: Retired Master Commandos sign here
I'm gona hang up my flamethrower, I've found a new passion, One handed swords...thats right, all my launcher pistol grinding for a gaffi stick. But hell, I'm not gona drop commando, it's more of a trophy, I'm just gona stop lugging arround all my FT's HAR's and HWs.
Retired, yes, but not forgotten

I got a holocron. Told me to master Ranger. Figures.
Have to completely unlearn Commando to have enough points to master that.

I must admit. I dropped it like a bad habit. Which is a sad thing since I spend ALL of my time since June 16th attempting to become a master Commando. Iw as so proud when I did. But that pride blinded me from the truth: A Flame4 commando is BETTER than a master commando. We get no mods for our pistol. What other class is given a weapon and then NO mods OR specials for it? I've waited too long. The devs had more than enough time to fix ALL profession. They haven't. I'm done in 3 months.
Just incase you haven't been on test center lately they have added + 25 melee damage, and + 40 to Flamethrower accuracy when you reach master commando.No this does not mean we will have 110% accuracy what it does mean is that if you don't get master commando you will have max 60% Flame thrower accuracy and will miss more then half time. This will definitly weed out all the players who are only going up the flame line.
Heh, +25 to melee defence is..not good. It only works on lower level mobs unfortunately. The mobs "attack" scale higher than we can get our "defence mods" to work.
There is a guy, who decided to try out, and focused on getting as high defenses as possible...I think he ended up with +90 something melee defence..and Durnnis missed him alot..but lvl 25 animals..still hit him enough to make meatloaf out of him.
Going master for "1 Working skilltree" and to get +40 more accuracy for that one tree, is not worth it. Its a waste of points. Unless they fix the 3 remaining trees....HAR needs to work..Support weapons need to be simplified..1000+credits per shot..is...not good..and grenades..*rolleyes*...
I turned in my Commando tags, because my commando pardner did. We are a tag team..We were to be a commando tag team...but she couldnt take it any more..all the work for only being a good flamer?...
Now we are going BH both of us..and it took us both 1 day, to master scout...wheever BH saying it was hard to get to BH...lied...our single unarmed line is 3X more painfull than master scout...
But anyway...The day the devs fix commandos...and I mean fix them..not putting a carrot at master commando, but make all 4 threes worth it...I am back...and I'll swear..it will only take me a week...3,675million heavy weapon experience just means 3675 kils...I can do that...in a week...maybe..hopefully.....if i manage to get unarmed IV within the week tho ![]()

Yahoo for 2.5x damage penalties. Have been master commando for quite a while. Like the idea until it was decided we should be punching bags that can't take a punch.

I refuse to go through another 3 months of an imbalanced, yet constantly mistreated,class.
GrungnerDK:
Well, i am sorry to say, but it is true. I am not even a Novice Commando anymore. SOE's inability to address our issues and their ability and will to nerf our profession due to the unjustified calls of whiners and nerfherders killed my trust in them.
I wanted to play a commando in SWG about 3 years before it went live. And as soon as it was out i almost died on those 3 weeks i had to wait for the game (i live in eurpoe, that's why). I got the game, got commando within 3 weeks. stayed Novice commando (wepons bugged and useless), grinded carbineer and pistoleer. Then came the BIG patch and we started working. I was Master Commando 5 days later. I endured all the time. 80% of our profession was brokemn, yet players whined because all we had was more damage in one hit than anyone else. Of course it was negligible that we shot about once every 10 seconds....
So SOE heeded the whiners and punished us, where we did not deserve punishement, but fixes. We addressed several issues to help the other professions (melee, Riflemen, pistoleer...) and what we got were laughing riflemen. Well, in the future i know whom to trust and whom to help...
Well, final situation:
Commando still bottom of DPS of ALL ranged professions. Commando still 80% useless. Commando still a one.trick Pony. Master Commando still useless besides the cone attacks. Commando even more useless in PvE now due to the melee penalty. The Devs state, that Melee classes will get fixed before any other profession now.
Fine. I am going melee then.....
I will come back if commando ever works. I will never come back should they add a true blackops specialist.
In the meantime i will still be around this board and help those in need with advise and learn about the changes.....
Peace,
Dogg
Never thought I'd say this, sign. I have been a Commando since 10 days after release and in Beta.
Been a Master for 2 months.
