Commando Archive

welll that just puzzles me more then anything......I personally havn't see na CH in months but many multitudes of jedi...how can Merchant be that high, and why can't SOE organize crap on their website....

Jope,

I understand where you're coming from - when I first got wind of what on earth was happening earlier this week, the first thought that came to bear was "oh gawd they took out commando!". Fortunately for us, that didn't happen. Unfortunately for quite a number of others that became a reality. If the roles were reversed and CH was preserved and commando was taken away, the same emotions and sentiments would remain. Heck I would've probably had quit if that happened.

At any rate, Im general an optimistic person but because of my experience as a commando for these past 2 years...Im not a SOE supporter, or really that much of a fan. However, I do see some positive aspects that commandos, specifically, will be benefiting. Foremost, I think would be the new twitch system. However (big however), I'm still iffy on what they're doing with the professions (did not like to see many taken away, nor the fact that we won't be able to drop any which is a HUGE mistake on SOE's part imho). Nevertheless, we do have to keep an open mind towards the changes...specifically for our community, we've been through a lot together and it's always a good thing when we stay focused and together when SOE pulls a stunt like this.

Theres no hard feelings, as if I was in your shoes...I would have probably done some major flaming myself lol, but looking at it through my community's profession, we will have some things to look forward to (ultimately...we'll HAVE to be something more than a support-only role, which was something that SOE really decieved us was coming with the CU - our role was changed right from under our noses)...we can't always concentrate on the negatives of everything. At least, not myself personally as that'll get me down...which will get everyone down, and so on....maybe not many commandos still believe it, but I do have hope left for our profession yet.

just think we are the most important thing in the GCW now. if not for us they just lose lives on battlefields for nothing.

I am sorry for attacking before getting my facts straight. I understand that you are looking out for your people, as you should be. it's not your fault. I hold no ill will towards you or anyone here, I am just floored by what has happened. I won'tbe here long. Even if they changed they're minds and cancelled the elimination of professions I couln't stay. Its become principle with me.

Yeah, the corrospondents were hit especially hard in the last few days...we've been talking A LOT between each other on both official, and unofficial channels...so it's not a "every man for himself" at the moment, but many of us had mixed reactions to what was going on...and off of our individual forums, we are supportive of each other - at least I try to be (as 99% of the others do as well), since we're somewhat of an extended family. It sucks majorly knowing that nearly 75% are being cut from it...or at least would presumably be without professions to represent.

But on our forums, my focus is always commando first, everyone else second, dev's third. Same also applies to the corro boards, but there is also more of an equal focus. To speak candidly, it's one of those "I support you, you support me" type of thing...as we do, many times, support one another despite looking out for our own people at the same time. For better or for worse...we're a community all ourselves lol.

I don't want to be Commander Cody. I don't want to be Luke Skywalker.

Hopefully these are simply just "representations" rather than a major importance in the quest progression of the new classes and such...

Honestly, it better not as theres so much more than just one character to follow in the footsteps of; especially considering some of their choices. A clone commander? Not crix madine? Or Leia as an officer and not one of the many rebel/imperial officers in the movies? Kinda sounds dorky; hopefully it won't be much of a significance.

Btw...rumor has it we were really named after Rothin (the PA corro), who is "Cody" on AIM...

(This is some nefarious plan initiated by my wife. I know it!)

DIVORCE!

Tiggs already confirmed it: No mix and matching proffessions.

In short, WELCOME TO PLAYSTATION version of SWG.

go pick up WW2OL or SW BF.

Heck I even got a copy of LEGO STAR WARS and I assure you this is how it will be.

Is that your official prediction of doom for the day tac?
