Commando Archive

Well my opinion is that we should be the top of the line when it comes to combat. No other class spends as many points on combat skills, or needs as much combat experience as we do. So since we have the most combat experience I would naturally assume that a commando woul db ethe best at...you guesed it combat.

Yes the BH spends more points overall and I think (hope) that in the future they will recieve benifits to their class for all that scouting exp they have to acquire (not that it's that hard to get master scout.) player bounties and other such perks of being a BH, and I'll be a vocal supporter of such things. But commando's should be the #1 combat class.

Why am I still a commando? Because I know how this stuff works. I'm patient, I played UO beta to about 3 yrs after release. DOAC for 3 yrs. EQ for about 1 yr. AC2, SB. Every MMORPG has it's broken/ignored class and for this class it's usually about 6 mo to a yr before it's addressed and brought up to par with other classes. And I'm willing to wait for that to happen while playing my guy in other ways and experimenting with other professions.

I sure that eventually HAR will use the rifleman specials at some point, I'd guess 2-3 months. The 15 sec delay will be brought down to a reasonable level. The weapon AP will be fixed. I would assume we will get the vibroknuckle cert.

The main problem is that some or the problems (the HAR cert. being one) should have never made it out of beta much less we have to wait over a month to get it fixed. And then to have the devs say that they have to test out this stuff on test to maintain balance? What does us not having a cert. for one of our basic weapons have to do with balance? Then Q comes on a says we are working as intended. The Holo comes on and says we're not and getting a big buffup in the patch. Now we're supposably getting upped again (doubtful). Meanwile the T21 rifle is important enough to hotfix 3 times now I think.

Do you see the inconsistany here? This is what makes commando's so upset is that they promise all these changes and never deliver. And then they do hot fixes for other classes that didn't really need the fix in the first place.

Sorry, I really am rambling at this point I'll shut up for now..

The powergamers left the commando profession along time ago, they are currently working on bounty hunter.......

I did Boycott commando last night. I clicked through all my skill boxes and clicked surrender. Ahhh so nice started fresh with points to put into something semi useful. Good luck commandos!

I know everyone is peeved about commando being messed up right now, but cut the dev's a break...they have a lot to fix, commando not being the least of them. They are doing what they can to help, but we have to be patient, can't expect a huge change to happen over night. I am just about a commando now, and i don't care if it is a "broken" skill, but one day it won't be, and woe be to my enemies when that day comes.

hell for all we know SOE did this on purpose to weed out ppl so we wouldnt get a spam of commandos like BH's (and like CH's before they got nerfed)

Well one good thing about this game. Is you can pick up whatever you like.
