Well I have CU Forum access, and I don't know anything about Commandos getting their own armour.

Be careful on what you do and do not believe based on info out there...Over in the Correspondent forum we were discussing some bad docs that might be floating out there that are giving false info...Looks to me like someone took what they saw in .tre files, made some guesses, and then compiled some of the more popular discussions into what could appear to some as CU docs...


The trick is, don't believe anything you read, hear or see until it is officially posted by a Dev...Even the hints I drop from time to time are not official until a Dev makes a post that confirms somthing...


And as for the current "Rumor of the Month" about Commandos getting their own armor...NOPE...Commandos are not getting their own new armor...and we are not getting any armor that is only for Commando use...If anyone has seen some docs that say that OR heard that from some where, guess what, you're a victim of the fake info floating out there...

The important question is what's Massassi. Anyone care to explain. Guessing its info in some of the extended universe info, but not sure.

Massassi


an alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. The Massassi were later enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. This seems to have been a change of heart for Kevin Anderson, who worked on both sources. Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They are termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi.

No heavy armour for anyone. Don't worry, Commando's will definitely not have a problem where armour's concerned though.

TH just made a post on behalf of SOETyrant on the current "game plan part 2"...in that post he included a quick blurb about the CU which stated the following:


Comments which will be addressed by Combat Upgrade


"Better armor that is more reflective of the GCW"

"New faction armour"

"Balance out classes"

"more armor types"

"Have combat more immersive, more interactive"

"Increased reasons for teamwork in combat"

"every movie and book I've read has had primarily ranged combat"

"give us something to do that doesn't require clone combat templates in the same armor with the same weapons in the same place"

"make factional armor worth wearing"

"the thing that really ruins the game is the Buffs and food stuff in PvP it all counts on being Buffed and ready"

"More types of weaponry"

"I should not be able to solo Gnarled Rancors by myself"

"I hate needing to buff in order to hunt"

"it would be fine if the game got back to group playing again no more soloing high lvl mobs"

"Moving away from "Melee-Centrism"

"Get rid of titanic BUFFs and uber weapons"


There is much more than this that Combat Upgrade addresses but I thought it was important to show that we are working on the things you want in combat with this major effort. We will start rolling out the detailed information on Combat Upgrade as it exits the alpha test early this year, and enters closed beta. Please sign up for the Combat Upgrade closed beta here if you are interested in helping us test and tune it before it hits the Test Center.


Anyway...just wanted to share this new info with you all...much of it is stuff I've hinted at and it of course doesn't cover the huge scope of items covered in the CU (that's just a small amount of things), but it does give you more ideas (which is pretty much what this thread is about.
