At least you tried, that counts for something.

But how long do the Devs think we are going to wait?

We have been told for over a year that fixes are coming, but most people aren't seeing the actual progress. We are only getting bits and pieces from the correspondents. There has only been 1 CURB feature in the past 6-8 months, and that was just general overview stuff thats been around.

I'm tired of seeing "92 point" professions out damage our 169 point profession at every turn.

I'm tired of being excluded from the new game content because the MOB's have AR2 or 3 and 70%+ heat and acid resists.

I'm tired of not having any non-consumable AP Weapons.

I'm tired of our consumable weapons being hard to find (on live servers), because of their complexity to craft.

I'm tired of the Devs throwing just about every other profession "a bone" while ignoring our long going problems.

I'm tired of the Devs saying "soon" on the CURB.

I guess I've just gotten a little cynical over these past few months. Heck if it wasn't for playing on the Test Center, I probablly would have canceled several months ago.

Oh dear... ive just come to the commando profession because im a pyromaniac. At commando xx4x i can do 6k damage in about 15 seconds... when i was a pistoleer i could use a fanshot say 12 times in 15 seconds... thats probably about 20k worth of damage! I knew the commando prof had issues but what ive experienced is a real joke!

Looking at these threads it seems like a lot of you have been waiting a year or more for a fix. Do you honestly think anything will be done... And if so how many years will you have waited? The next star wars trilogy will be out before the long awaited CU...

How easy would it be to add some state defences (as most of the combat ive had to do so far is close ranged - melee distance if i want to use specials)! Up the melee and ranged defences, i used to do programming - it wouldnt be any more than changing a few digits...

I have caused more wounds using my de.10 and torso shot than with my flamethrower... if i wasnt being serious it would be funny. Surely a flamethrower should give out massive wounds... massive burn DOTs... and a hell of a lot more damage... the 12k i hear from flame cone 2 would be awesome if it didnt take 3 days to fire it and move on to the next combat action.

As for the HAR... lol... The projectile heavy weapons and grenades are hilarious too... if the flamethrower wasnt so fun would anyone actually bother with this prof?

Maybe thats the plan - nerf it so bad no one uses it and then just pull it away without anyone even realising its gone... There should be some reason for it being so useless... I was incapped by a bunch of thunes... thunes............ lol!

Bloody Thunes, normally you pull there trunk and there head falls off...

Ive only been at commando for a short amount of time but man its funny...

Well, thanks for at least trying StarNick, though to be honest I don't think any of the veteran Commandos here expected any differently seeing as we're used to being treated this way by SOE by now.

As it happens, I managed to get one of my Ninja Spies to lay their hands on the memo of a meeting by the Devs where they discussed your pist, and have reprinted it below for the perusal of the commando community...

StarNick Hi, I have a list of items here that the Commando's out there would like to see considered for fixing prior to the CURB.

THunderheart Why of course, we'll give them our utmost attention.

(Change of venue to random meeting room in SOE towers. Present are SOETyrant, TH and Tiggs)

Thunderheart So the commandos out there are feeling unloved

SOETyrant Commando ? what's a commando ??

Tiggs They're the heavy weapon specialists sir, the guys who start campfires.

SOETyrant Oh THEM !!, youmean someone still plays that profession ?

Tiggs It would seem so....

Thunderheart Anyway, asI was saying, they have a list of items they'd like us to consider prior to the CU

(SOETyrant sits attentively, a hush descends)

Thunderheart Firstly, they'd like to see some accuracy added to their flamethrowers

SOETyrant How much accuracy ?

Thunderheart About +30, that would take their accuracy at master to something like +140

SOETyrant Hmm, no, at that level the might be able to hit a Jedi, that would be unbalancing - denied

Thunderheart Ok *crosses item off list*, how about an increase in Flamethrowe speed instead ?

Tiggs That might help them

SOETyrant Why flamethrower ? why not grenades ?

Thunderheart Well that's on the list further down sir, they have issues with grenades too

Tiggs Did we fix the accuracy on them yet ?

Thunderheart Ummm *scans list* nope, says here they keep blowing up the commando and not the target

SOETyrant How big IS this list ??

Thunderheart *Starts counting* over 20 items your supremeness

SOETyrant *Stifles a snigger* They ARE optimistic aren't they... flamethrower speed denied, next item ?

Thunderheart Ok, they want higher...

SOETyrant *Interrupting* Higher ? nope, not raising anythingprior to the CU

ThunderheartWhat about an increase in....

SOETyrant I said nothing goes up, though we'll consider some downs

Thunderheart Well speaking of downs, they feel they're overly vulnerable to KD attacks

SOETyrant And ? Can you imaginethe carnage if they could actually stay upright long enough to fire off more than one special ??, they may actually HIT something.

Thunderheart Ok, I get the picture, nothing combat related. How about having burn damage count for loot rights ?

Tiggs Yes, thats a long standing issue of theirs.

SOETyrant Hmm, I suppose they're thinking of using this on Krayts ?

Thunderheart Possibly sir, it doesnt say here

SOETyrant Then denied, Krayts are the exclusive prey of Jedi - they need the pearls you see.

Thunderheart Next item, they're looking at getting some of the animations for their weapons fixed

SOETyrantNo way, thats a waste of valuable dev time

Wandering Dev *Has overheard the conversation and sticks his head through the door* Actually sir, thats very easy..

SOETyrant SILENCE INFIDEL... back to your hole and continue coding on our secret project

Thunderheart Thats the entire list sir, what do you want me to tell StarNick ? We havent approved any of them

SOETyrant Tell him they're unreasonable, game breaking and he referred to the CU as a "CURB", which is Flemmish for Wombat droppings - I wont tolerate such insults

Thunderheart Very well sir, and by the way, one of the Jedi on Kauri says the colour on his saber has changed, and the distraction caused him to lose a duel.

SOETyrant WHAT ?? thats's terrible, devote the dev team from the CU to fixing this problem immediately, and triple saber damage in the meantime.

*End of memo*

Actually...what you have SOEtyrant saying here, is somewhat what TH told me in the first reply (well cept for the Wombat part...and that they weren't unreasonable..just the devs aren't doing anything major combat wise pre-CU)....totally bypassed any sort of memo

Okay, time for us to get together and kick some dev ass.

/run C:\Mp3s\Twisted Sister - We're Not Going to Take It Anymore.mp3

Personally I think we should have the same defenses as Pistoleers. At lest they can use their specials up to whatever range the pistol they have equiped. But they get all of the followingby the time a player gets toMaster Pistoleer:

Dodge +105

Melee Defense +45

Defense vs. Stun +40

Defense vs. Blind +40

Defense vs. Dizzy +40

Defense vs. Knockdown +50

Defense vs. Posture Change +20

But they get all of that and they aren't limited to melee range on their specials like Commandos are.

But when I'm looking at NPC's that are AR2 or 3with 100% Heat Resist and 65%+ Acid Resist then our profession has become quite useless on the Battlefield and in the GCW.
