Commando Archive
Thread: I've come to the inescapable conclusion...

What really is needed is the 'tester' branch of SOE, devs who are assigned/apply to be the 'Head' of a profession(much like corospondants) and play that profession regularly. Its obvious that the devs don't play, otherwise they'd know the state of their 'fix'
Heck I'd do this, not for free, but say waive the monthly fee and I'm there! But seriously, I hope every MMO has people that do this. Certainly seems that way for WoW at least they fix bugs the players aren't even aware of.
How many times hasn't we made Improvement Threads in this forum? Countless. We have had so many great ideas and the Devs hasn't even looked our way. Commando could/should have been so much better, even if only a handful of those ideas made it into the game.
Sure, the Devs have their prioritize, but at some point the old needs to be fixed as well. Not adding new content is one thing, but failing to fix old bugs is realy, realy bad and it should be looked into at this point.
The SL, Ranger and some smuggler upgrades, and the Expansion, are on the table. We probably has to lay low fora while until these are finalized and live.I hope we're up next after that.

I honestly am starting to believe they just hate us because they have yet to find a way to crush the Commandos Spirit. And they never will. Is there hope for our prof? At this point, probably not. Am I going to give in? Heck no. Devs can crush our prof, hurt our strength, but never can they destroy the one thing that makes us stronger then any other profession, our spirit.
Damn, when did the commando population become whinny and hateful like the Jedi...
So the devs haven't shown us love, doesn't mean they HATE us. We just aren't in their money making margin right now. Jedi and BH are the biggest reasons people are buying the game right now. It's also not the devs fault. They don't get to choose what they work on as much as one would think. Much of what comes out in publishes is due to the corporate suits choosing what will and won't make money for the company.
We will get love, jut not today. If you love the profession, you will stick with it. The fact that Ranger and Smuggler are gonna get love soon (unless this has changed and is old news that has been scrapped) are signs that things are floating away from being centered on Jedi and BHs.
If you honestly think that the devs as a whole have it in for the Commando populous... you are a f***ing moron.
Having been a Commando for 2 years / 2 months, I've just about seen it all....
I've seen Flamethrowers do 150 damage. Max.
I've seen Launcher Pistols give pistol xp, instead of Heavy Weapons xp.
I've seen Thunderheart determine that Commando was overpowered when he dueled someone who wasnt buffed and won. TH was buffed, btw.
I've seen it when a Master Commando had 25 more ranged defense than a Master Dancer. Think about that one for a bit.
I've seen the old HAR be WORTHLESS since it was able to be created, up until the CU. And it still sucks.
I've seen Rocket Launcher after Rocket Launcher be fired at a stationary target at ideal range and miss. Repeatedly.
I've seen the flamer dot be nerfed to oblivion because of, well, among a couple reasons was that there was no water on Tattoine. So much for tactics and not engaging aCommando on a planet made of freaking SAND.
I've seen the Dev only forums open up because of Lithiums crappy forum software whereby the lead dev of SWG litterally said 'I hate them, I want them to go away' in a bit more words than that.

How is what I said Whining? Shut the heck up. Commandos havent been shown a bit of love, only nerfs. Shut the heck up and face the facts. I have lost hope that we will ever get helped, because we have yet to even hear of any help. The Devs dont want to help us, next to 1 guy. Almost no one has wanted to help us.

I'm not sure if they really hate us or just cant figure out how to make us Powerful enough to fit the name, without upsetting the "balance" of the game. WhichI think since MBH is the only profession able to loot reinforced casings and enhanced power cells balance went off the deep end.
But If they're trying to break usI have just a couple things to say
Name: Joe Byrd
Profession: Master Commando
Rank: Imperial Colonel
Serial Number: 534-75-9345

If we were like, we would have 5k posts just from our short numbers, this would be flooded with 100 /agree messages.
Thats is what i like about these boards. They dont just say /agree. They discuss the problem.
ok whose being stupid here
soe has since day one put out publishs and left broken code ingame for very long periods,some are still ingame.
but are they the stupid ones?
no,we are we pay for this stupidity and lack of quality...so we are the stupid one.
soe will continue to opperate as they have until it is unprofitable,then they will either change(highly unlikely) or close the game.
if we continue to pay a company that cant operate,fix,maintain its own game then we deserve what we get.
