I'll be using the name "Tegras" and I plan to test the CU every moment I possibly can. I've done my share of beta testing and bug writing so hopefully we can get together and make sure all major issues are very well documented.

Since many other professions *weaponsmiths Jedi FS armorsmiths Droid engineers* will also be affected, can we expect Similar notes for themsoon? b/c if FS doesnt change... and jedi doesnt *shudder* and Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths will change dramatically...




These are not all the Documents that have been released. Watcha think - The devs wouldn't have one for every profession?


Expect more information very soon...

Prepare for the many Blond Blaze Bluko Buster Commandos. Ok just Bluko.

Hmm. I dunno.

It seems Commando is going to be more useful as add to your other profession rather than add something to Commando. Although I do like being able to use just about every damn weapon type or something, thus making us like Boy Scouts prepared for anything lol!

And I can deal with low defenses, but it seems a Commando is only going to be good in one on one sitiuations. Does that mean attacking mass numbers or groups is going to be our weak point? I feel more like an Assassin. Good to kill any one thing. That's nice I guess for groups. But are Commandos going to be gimped alone? Commandos I thought were going to be the medium of all but still lacking in all three. I know I'll need another profession, not sure if Master Makrsman will be worth it, but I should have more SPs cause I probably won't need so much Medic now. My template looks this. Master Commando. Master Marksman. Scout 4,0,0,2 (This one could change as camps well suck) Medic General Healing Support. This will free me up 8 boxes which maay then be converted into FS stuff when I get to it.

I guess Rifleman/Commando would fit me well in place of Master Marksmen. Or Perhaps Carbineer.
I'm just used to Commando being morew thus equalling more power. I keep forgetting this. BH sounds interesting but I don't want to be a one vs. one Master. Aye I am confused. Only thing that really scares me is the weapon switch delay. If we're gonna use lots of weapons, I better be able to use em all before dying!

What I really want to see is how these professions play out. That will make my mind up.

How did I know there was going to be general testing?

Everything else looks super cool. I fear though that the FOTM could be everything like 4 Offense, 4 Defense, 4 Crowd Control or something that's got pretty even numbers all across making for a very good for everything Template.

Hmm maybe Pistoleer Commando. God that sounds goofy for me, but would be my thing I guess...

Ah confused!

Test Center and Eclipse Commando Reporting for Duty as well.



As per TH, TC-Prime will be coming down and "mothballed" for the duration of testing. At first everyone will be skill less and no frogs, (how people are going to get weapons and armor is beyond me right now). Unless the Devs put in limited Frogs.


The Server holding the CU beta will be named TC-EP3Beta, so that is the server you need to look for to join and character creation.

Now exactly when this server will be available is still up in the air right now, so keep an eye on the forums.

As I mentioned...our weapons define us. So, if a profession picks up commando...our weapons will enhance their specials.


Vice versa for us. So in effect, every profession not only has a role...but also can be used to enhance other professions! Its gonna be quite cool as far as the specials are concerned...
