Caying you are 17 would be giving you too much credit, and thus insult 17 yr olds everywhere.

Does it really matter? I mean, it's AP points for the Original commandos, and let's face it, they are rare, and generally known for carrying around a gun bigger then most people want to think about.


Even if it does start a bandwagon, I encourage it. Let people explore the game. Granted 1 in 3 people are bounty hunters but 1 in 50 are commandos? I'd love to have more people to chat with about my weapons, or even just compare or duel. The servers know who are the origianl commandos because they were, and at this point, still are extremly rare.


Just chill out bud, it's still a hard class either way, and we're finally getting our chance to shine, so don't spoil it by ranting about bandwagons that havn't even thought about happening.

I am not really worried about bandwagoners. I think it is normal to want to play a profession that is fun, and in this game you're not stuck with what you initially chose as a profession for the duration like in others. That is the same reason why this so called bandwagon will not be a big deal, if it even happens. People might come and dabble in Commando to see what it is like, but even with the changes, we will not be some Uber class that can annihilate everything. BH and Pistoleers will still probably be better in PvP, at least one on one dueling,and we will be able to take out structures/vehicles like we were intended to do in the first place. The only thing I am concerned with is the certification for the rocket launcher coming with Novice Commando instead of higher up the Heavy Weapons tree. Since that seems to be the focus of the discussion about the changes to the class I worry that, eventhough they will be expensive, there will be a period of time with a lot of people running around trying to one shot each other with them or only getting Novice Commando to use them, eventhough the skill mods for using tham are slim at that level and they will miss more than they hit. Anyway, just my two cents. I welcome the new people to the class and salute those of us who shouted loud enough to get theimprovements we are soon to recieve.

Its just the evolution of how this game works


Example 1:
Everybodies a CH because they were too powerful, they got nerfed into the ground and most dropped it.


Example 2:


Almost everybody is a Pistoleer because knockdowns and pistol moves in general are overpowered. They are getting nerfed and some people will probably drop it.

Most people just bandwagon cause for some reason they just cant play a character they have passion for but just have to follow around the percieved best character in the game. Notice i said percieved since i think people dont realize most of our weapons have such long delys on them that they are tatical weapons and not meant to be used all the time. I mean besides us current commandos does anybody even realize how long 15 seconds is when you cant do anything but run around, you cant even heal in that time. Anyway im Karama Foxfire on Bria and im at the second tier of commandos skills, and have been a commando since about a month ago, heh i love barbequed laviasquall.

How can you say you are an original Commando? I was a Commando about a month or so after release, as well as in beta.


In any case, this is getting childish, who cares if people think you are a bandwagoner or not? It doesn't change the fact that you can blow them into tiny bits *shrug*.

[Sarcastic Mean Filter]


Actually, regardless of anything else, players like you make me never want to admit what classes I play. I have three accounts (yes, three. I know, I'm sad, but I like variety). I'm working towards a commando in one of them, and just because I didn't start at day 1 as a commando, I'm not good enough to be one now?


Well, I did Beta a Commando and Carbiner, named Hanbacca Dar'thsky-oda (Character was made to see exactly how far I could abuse the naming filter. Other notable mentions were Iride Theshortbus, Setch'really reallySucksand Betta Dan'joo) on the Bria server. So unless you can top being a commando before the game was released, and they sucked lightyears more than now, don't bother talking to me. Because after all, you're just a bandwagoner that picked a cool sounding class when the game went live.


[/Sarcastic Mean Filter]


Beyond any of that, this game is about community. Commandos should be geared more for a support class anyway, one that can help the little rebel pistol toters and smugglers out. And in PvP, 10 Commandos (even new ones) using Launcher Pistols and Flame throwers are a force to be reconned with (even if we suck. It looks cool, and that will scare more people away than anything else).






Back yet again, for another round of SWG... um... fun. Yeah, that's it. (It's not just a diversion while I wait in the queues for WoW BG's)
