Thread: How many original Commandos left?
Original and original...
I was a original Squad Leader and Carbineer...
Then I figured what the heck, if I'm to be a gimp, why not be a gimp with big guns, and turned commando.
I was lucky enough to have the "commando fix" short after I had started..merely days really.
Turned master, and was persuaded to go BH with my friends....Should never have done that...BH is such a solo profession when you begin on the invest *sigh* Mastered it, and are now back to commando...My flamer is off the wall, my LP is off the wall and my HAR is off the wall....
Master commando in about 200k xp....
My love for commando is so great, that I have 2 more characters working their way to commando..on Bria and TC....cuz...I look good with big guns.
People say those commandos that just have flame 1-4 are just dabbling. Who cares?
I got flame 1-4 firstto see if I liked it...does that make me a dabbler...I intend to finish commando but then keep only flame 1-4 so I can do SL next...
Everyone is a dabbler...Everyone.
If you play commando (or any professions), by getting all the level one skills...then level 2...then level 3...then all level 4, and have no other skills except what you need for commando...then you are truly not a dabbler.
Heal yourself...dabble medic.
Skin a creature or walk faster...dabble scout
TK buff...dabble TKA
We all do it.
I got SWG about a month after release... read the manual...
Wanted to be a Commando... just sounded like a heavy hitter...
Played the game, realized the manual was almost as useless as Making a Microwave Pizza for Dummies...
Still wanted to be a Commando...
Got Novice the day before the patch came out that fixed the flamethrower...
Still wanted to be a Commando...
Got Master the day before the 2.5x melee came out...
Still wanted to be a Commando...
Got holocrons up the wazoo for christmas...
Still wanted to be a Commando...
No bloody way I'm giving up my Master Title. In the words of a wildly insane Charlton Heston... You can have my flamethrower when you pry it from my charred, blasted, corroding, and frigid dead hands.
Lynch, Master Commando of Flurry
Force Unsensitives - My holocrons are for selling! I use the money to buy more beer.
I made commando a couple of weeks after the game came out and then began to concentrate on building my resource business **MAW Industries** and founding the MAW PA and MAW City, Naboo.I decided a week or so ago to pursue my Holo quest just out ofa curiousity of how the other skill sets worked.I enjoyed commando and I expect to return to it eventually. I am not an original like Ivoni ( Who was the best of our class. We miss you Ivoni ) in that I did not play beta but I trained in commando from the beginning whenmastering wasa really hard climb.I miss my combo of MTKA/Master Commando but Master Ranger has it's benefits.
I know now from experience and not just hearsay that Commando really is one of the most broken under developed skill sets in SWG. Perhaps, as Maddogs who also went on his holo quest said, by the time I get back to Commando they will have fixed the class. I hear that they are going to introduce the AT AT soon to the game. Perhaps they will finally give the commando the kind of firepower that we should have to combat that monster....woot.
Like maddogs said, define original.
I am not from beta, not a holo chaser, and wasnt of the first to beccome one but it is my first elite profession and only one I mastered, and my first post was here so
i guess you could say either or but still here.
I'm still here, don't count me out just yet. Just haven't been anywhere near a computer in a few months, but I'll be back on the quest for blood soon.
First holocron: Bounty Hunter.
First non-starter profession mastered: Commando.
Next on this list: there is no list.
i started with commando as my first choice, after they patched the damage multiplier on i dropped it but missed the power so much i picked it back up 2 days later, now im backing it with master TK wich is a really fun combo ![]()
Heh, you guys will never believe this... I started out trying to get a commando and slowly grinded up. After hitting master, my first Holocron said Entertainer. Luckily, as long as I dumped everything else I could keep it (and I did.)
Now here's the real kicker...
Holocron No. 2: Pistoleer ![]()
