Thread: I CANNOT BELIEVE Holo is considering what a guy with 11 posts is crying about
Welp I'm not a master Commando, but im about half way up the trees. So far in pvp i've been killed by BH's and other classes, but for the most part flame kills. I play mostly on tantoonie, running missions or what not, I dont play alot so never go hardcore xping.
but...
I'll have to agree. Atm the moment in PVP we are overpowered, but I wont go far enough to say that PVE we are. PVE is a completely different monster then PVP. I think that for pvp we shouldnt be doing 400 dmg in a blast for regular hits. You guys say that you are inaccurate and yet myself with FT tier2 am finding I miss less then 1 in 4 shots.I have a standard flamethrower 420-820 3.7 speed sliced, and I do believe we need balancing for that. Then again I still think we also need fixing of our Field Tactics tier, its useless atm, and our HAR needs adjusting. Flamethrowers are justa bit overpowered in PVP which is where most whiners come from.

"I just wish people would stop crying and use their heads to beat us"
It's funny how I always hear this whenever something unbalanced (AT-STs, Commandos, previously CHs) is in danger of being nerfed back into balance.
The fact of the matter is that Commandos ARE overpowered now, and the balance over-did it. Commandos are supposed to be most effective in specialized circumstances. They should be most powerful against certain types of opponents (vehicles and turrets) or in certain circumstances (up real close with a flame thrower) but least powerful in other circumstances (they should be dead real quick when alone or in small groups, or against anythingmelee). They are a support class (not a secondary class, i want to make that clear, it should be a main class with perhaps some TKA or carbine or something as a secondary profession) and function best in support of other, basic troops (carbineer, pistoleer, pikeman, etc).
An intelligent weapon expert can easilly beat a commando, there are a few things that should be done which make the commando very easy to kill. It is unfortunate that the vast majority of the SWG players are total morons. The commando doesnt excell and killing turrets, or armored units, the commando excells at killing the stupid people. And because most of the players in this game are very stupid, the commando excells at killing most of the players. And the other unfortunate thing is stupidity in mass has power, the mass of this game is under the controll of the stupid.
Stupid people die, stupid people cry, stupid people get things changed for themself. People with intelligence are left with a distastefull feeling in their mouth. Should the dev team give in to the retarded force without some sort of compensation many accounts(including my own) will be cancled. Im not asking to be god, im just asking that if they take away my damage i get something in return. Maybe good accuracy and specials that work till 64M range like every other weapon.
Xucost, How does killing players with one shot make you "smarter"? Where is the tactic? Could you do as a Master Doctor? Now that would be a smart player. 
Seriously, I am only asking. Could you answer, or even justify, my first question. It seems you accuse most of the SWG population as being "stupid", and yet, you take a class that is ALMOST unbeatable. I'm sure you were Commando since launch, or a short time there after, but I can't see how being a Commando makes YOU any "smarter" then the rest of SWG players.
You start your post by saying " An intelligent weapon expert can easilly beat a commando, there are a few things that should be done which make the commando very easy to kill"
I agree with you, but with Commandos taking me out with one shot, makes it kind of hard......don't you think?

Ok, it's not really hard, here's the secret that most Commandos don't want you to know. First of all, if you want to live in an encounter against a commando the very first rule of engagement is. DON'T GET CLOSER THAN 16m.
Ok, you got rule #1, rule #2 is MOVE. With the poor accuracy mods we get, if you keep moving then we'll have to move to keep you in effective range. We move, we miss.
If you aren't following the above two rules as a Expert Combat Profession, then you aren't playing smart against a commando. If you stay still and are closer than 16m expect to die. That's all there is to it really.
