Thread: How is this possible Count 22 new novice commandos on my server since the patch.
It's going To be fun watching in the next couple weeks when these powergamer guys that just switched realize some things that they didn't think about when their eyes glazed over by looking at the damage numbers.
1. If you pvp alot you have become the new target of choice, so you are very rarely going to be able to get withing the 16m required for flamesingle1. If you whip out a flamethrower in pvp you are going be instant swiss cheese. This is going to lead to you probably having to buy new armor at an astonishing rate.
2. When you hit you do good damage. When you hit being the key phrase here. These guys are used to being pistoleer/bh and they are used to hitting about 95% of the time or so. I can't wait till someone spends 100k for a rocket launcher and only 5 of the 24 charges hit before it runs out, or when they can't understand why they're only hitting about 50% of the time with their flamethrower.
3. Sure you have a great attack for pvp with flamesingle1/2 and cone1/2, but after you use it you can't do jack but try to run away for like 15 seconds, during which time you are going to be obliterated. If you're lucky enough to get to the guy and manage to hit them. (see points 1+2)
4. "You jerk you just destroyed my 15k HAR with disarming shot". I give it about a week before people start doing this to destroy commando weapons during that 15 second free period, not to win PVP but to make the commando pay.
These are just some of the major ones i can think of i'm sure there are others i haven't covered.
Yes i am also someone who just became a commando yesterday, but I started on it about 2.5 weeks ago (used to be a BE with no combat skils), so i don't consider myself in that group since i switched before i knew any of this was coming.
Zero, I don't think there is one.
I based my numbers by going to my usual planets and hunt spots and using the search command for any titles of the commando class. So in all likely hood, I missed a lot of commandos. Given 275,000 players, I'm positive there were a lot more than the 22 I found in my normal areas at my normal times. On each server, I'd estimate150 new commandos by the end of the month?
