Commando Archive

Marksman BLOWS, sure it's effective, for getting you to one of the GOOD professions.I'd like to know how long it took you to do it personally.I bet a long time, and even if not, I'm a master commando, telling me to use a laser rifle aint guna cut it.

Thanks for the info on the logs, I figured it was ridiculously easy, I've just never had a need to do it anytime in the past, as most games actually work.The stuff thats killing me is usually bolma's, or the random assortment of whatever I happen to be killing.

My main concerns with this ridiculous heavy handed nerf is that now I COMPLETELY rely on CH skills to survive.In situations that this game likes to present you with, such as a 50 mile "blockade" of red mobs on your way to a target, where I would normally find a hole and run through I am now forced to give everything a WIDE birth and am in constant fear of something agroing me.

A lot of the commando community seems to be getting resigned to the fact that were doomed to be useless forever, or at least severly handicapped.I say screw that, you play this game for fun not to try and pick and choose through a thousand different routines every month due to the latest nerf.

This crap goes right along with "1 step forward, 2 steps back" and I think with the release of WOW I may be done with Sony all together.I'm not overdramatic, and as far as gamers go I'm about as hardcore as they come, but with my years of EQ frustration, and now this whole SWG, I've nearly completely lost confidence in them as a company.

Their Playstation's burn out, the DvD on the PS2 has NEVER worked for ANY of the 50 friends I have or on mine. And as far as SOE goes, well if you delt with EQ you know about all the problems there and here it seems almost the same.Almost everything they do comes as a slap in the face to someone, if not multiple people, and often it almost seems as if these things were purposely implemented just to piss us off.

Sure, it sounds a little far fetched, a group of developers ruining a game on purpose just to piss off the players, but when they make so many calls that defy all logic, and almost certainly drive yet another 1000 people away....well what else should I think?

Anyways, WOW looks awesome, and there are a few others I want to try as well, I still havent gotten around to DAOC This game was number one on my list but obviously, it's being run into the ground.

Personally, I have not had a problem with still taking the 2.5 dmg after swtiching curing the cool down problem, my beef here is if it is a ranged weapon then let me fire me special at least pistol range so I dont have to fear being beat to death if I miss quite as much.

Honest to God, I think the way the Devs imagined Commando should work with respect to its non-expendable weapons is like this:

1) Accquire Target, move to 64M, equip rifle and open up with rifle specials

2) Continue rifle specials until target moves to about 40M or so, then switch to Carbine and use Carbine specials

3) Continue Carbine specials until target moves to about 25M or so, then switch to pistol and use pistol specials

4) As target moves into the 16M zone, switch to Commando weapon and use Commando weapon specials which will (in their minds) cause the target to fall over dead before it gets a chance to swing more than once.

Once again though, this technique, if it is what they have in mind, requires Commandos to play as a marksman 90% and as a commando 10% of the time, might as well switch to rifleman/pistoleer, with that combo I could own anything without a pet, PvE or otherwise and could play the class that I am 100% of the time.

Hey some people can get by with it, thats great.I can get by with it but I find it more hassle then its worth.Man, I still just cant believe it.I've played SO many games, and in all of them just completely dominated every possible aspect of the game before quitting, thats what I enjoy.

It really concerns me that I'm considering quitting this game so quickly, everyone has a track record of past games, how much you can put up with, how much drive and determination you have towards reaching the end game, I've never given up on a single one before, but for the first time I'm considering it.I guess I'm in that stage were I'm hoping that I'll log in tomorow to find everything magically fixed, haha fat chance.Oh well, I got two weeks til they cyphen anoth $14.95 out of my bank account, I may have the bank deny them the money, just like they've denied me any fun, or a working product.They got me for the $50 on the CD, and another $30 so far, I think I need to just stop it now before I get ripped off any further.
