Thread: Commando Issues Designer responses
Everything that needs to be said has been by posters with much more patience than I, but I'll add a few words.
The reponses from the developer clearly show they they are completely out of touch with the game we are paying them to host for us. More than that, they are fools for not recognizing issues when they are explained in detail throughout these threads. When someone brings you an issue, you don't just wave it away, you look into the complaint and see if there's a real issue behind it. Anyone dev who can make such aflippant response about the accuracy/range issue on the flamethrower should be fired, period. It shows such poor customer service as to be inexcusible. The issue is real, it hits best at max range (48m) not at "extreme close range". The other isues are real as well and the only things the coming "major" patch fixes are items that should have been hotfixed weeks ago.
Devs, please take notice. Your responses and lack of action have driven manyvalued members of this community away from the game and alienated many more. Whoever is internally handling this profession for you is clearly uninterested in addressing or even noticing the issues as is clearly indicated in this latest response. Please reassign that person to something they can handle...cleaning your toilets, perhaps... and assign someone who is willing to acknowledge the issues and work with us to fix them.
What you need to understand is the Commandos are a diversionary profession. Lets say Imperials are raiding a Rebel base
Imperial leader "Send in the Commandos!"
Commandos "Booya!"
Rebel Leader "OMG LEET COMMANDOS!! **edit** LAG!!"
Imperial Leader "K operation Lightshow is complete, send in the REAL troops"
This is a joke.
A complete, total, utter joke.
I just can't wait to max out my 'Drop grenade at feet' tree, or my elite 'shove flamethrower in enemy's mouth and pull trigger' tree. And really, I just LOVE the idea of firing my rocket launcher at point blank range. I mean, come on- who DOESN'T want to go into melee with a weapon that gives me a triple damage modifier? I can still solo things! Watch out kreetle, here I come! (Just don't swarm, please...) I can take that gorg! Arrrg! Die, meatlump fool, die! Wait, that durni just aggroed, run!
How utterly sad...

I want whatever the derv smokeing while answering these question.
When was the last time you saw someone use a rocket launcher at close range?
Who in their right mind is going to use a flamethrower at 0 range?
I understand that the weapons are *supposed* to be powerful. The problem is that they ARENT powerful, so what you have here is weak weapons with the restrictions ofa powerful weapon. This basically makes them complete garbage.
Youre **edit**ing kidding me right? Aside from the obvious bugs, this is how we are MEANT TO **edit**ING BE?!?! YOU ARE A **edit**ING JOKE! Commando's IMPLY heavy power, heavy hitting...I can to a point understand the long waits in between firing, but other than that, the fact that you have said that we are as we are meant to be just means that SOE, its DEVS, its producers and all affiliated with the creation of this game are not only thelargest cockmunchers (implied) in the world, but also have NO **edit**ing idea what you are doing in the star wars universe. If it werent for the fact that I have MANY friends in this game, this post would have made me quit the game and spit in the face of those who made it.
**edit**
You.
This is real nice. useing a rocket launcher at point blank range is as good as strap 20LB of C4 on your chest walk over to your target and set it off. But if you do that you aint a commando no more....
"The only rocket launchers I've ever heard of that you fire at close range exist in a game called Quake. Works in that game, but in this game, well its a redonkulous sentiment... "
It makes sense now. The ideal range is 0 because we are meant to be able to rocket jump with them.
