Commando Archive

IMHO Comandos should be specialized with ion artilery to take droids and electrical devices down (disable energy shields), Not some crazykilling machinethat sets everything in its path on fire. Flame throwers should be used very rarely, Imo grenades should be the main dmg boost in a battle for the comandos. The game just does not feel like Star wars without the presence of a class that specializes withion vs energy shields/electronic devices.

This is not a flame , Im trying to be constructive but I think thatthe DEVs need to play someKOTOR, the combat system for that game really felt like starwars. No 3k health boosts from docs but battle stimulants were actually pretty cool and the combat in that game just felt like it was balanced. Use Ion rifles vs droids, disruptor rifles vs unarmored foes etc, not to mention that (light, medium and heavy) armor felt like it was not overpowered but had its uses in various tactical aspects of a battle.

KOTOR was fun, granted. But it was short. And I believe flamethrowers were considered Heavy Weapons in that game, as were repeater blasters and various other weapons of fun destruction. Nothing in KOTOR suggested that commando's were good at destroying Artisan's mobile crafting stations. Infact if you used pistols or rifles you could use weapons that damaged droids more then people. I only used stims in the might with Malak (then I realized I could kill his jedi captives with throw-lightsabre, that stopped him).

do you realize how many people acutally use droids and sheild gens? about zero, more or less. sure, go for it, if you want to make us more worthless than we already are. heres a dictionary definition of what a commando should be:

commando

n 1: a member of a military unit trained as shock troops for hit-and-run raids [syn: ranger] 2: an amphibious military unit trained for raids into enemy territory

more less, thats exactly what we are. we go in, hit what we can, then die. we dont shoot ion crap at droids that no one uses or disable sheild gens that no one wastes credits on. we go in and burn **edit**, making it easier for the rest of our group to over take the enemy. simple as that. now, if we only had a few more weapons that worked, we could actually be as effective as we were supposed to be.

but what about the star warsy feel of the game, Energy shields are suposed to be a major part in combat and droids , I believe , will become very popular in the near future. Maybe the devs need to put more "malfunctioning" droids as hunting targets in the wild and as missions.

nice feedback , Anyone feel like some peoples are so selfish that they would go to the point to keep the game unbalanced just so that their character template remains the strongest?

The commando skill set shouldn't be called Master Commando, it should be called Master Flamethrower. I spent 64 skill points to master a flamethrower. I mean don't get me wrong Ilove the flamethrower, but what about all the other weapons? I never use them. I 100% completely agree with the person who posted this stream. He knows what a commando should be and SWG you really need to improve the commando skill.

O_o!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but did this kid just imply that Commando is the strongest template in the game?!

Wow. Someone doesn't play this game as a Commando. In PvE, MAYBE, in PvP quite the opposite. I loved KOTOR... honestly, I think it might make a great premise for another SW movie, but a single player RPG is much more of a closed environment from a design point of view, allowing developers to balance things far more effectively.

Also, it's "Knights of the Old Republic," not "The Definition of the Star Wars Universe." Though it does more effectively capture the star wars feel, it is not because of the weaponry/combat system alone... Please read the posts by TheLonelyCombatMedic and -Ares- on the GCW forum for more insight about the feel of the game.

KOTOR gave a very good in-depth experience of the star wars universe, in case you havn't noticed, SWG isn't trying to do that, SWG is trying to get alot of cash from alot of players playing alot of diffrent useless proffessions.

they would need to change the way shields worked in the game first and they are changing droids but stop **edit**ing asking for things that are going to screw us over until the aspects of the game it would actually be usefull are actually used.

how many droids do u see doing battle? i have yet to see one and i havent ever know anyone that uses those crappy shields

why isnt there edit

anyway are u even a comando?

Ok just for those who did nt quite got it yet , I was refering to flame throwers being over used. I even sugested that comando specialyze in a type of weapon that most armor is vulnerable to (ion = stun)and peoples still flame the heck out of me. Im sure that even if I proposed that comando should be able toblow death stars on a daily basis , theese kind of peoples would still keepwhining aboutgetting their butt kicked in PvP.

First,
dude, dont write in those big letters, it freaks me out and makes me hate you even though i don't know you.

Second,
I agree Flame is kind of weird, I mean if I think of Commando I think of 2 things, machine guns and explosions. Are explosives are kind of weak (although i hear good things about Protons, havent found any yet though) and our standard weapons are slow. I dunno. I guess

I just want a big machine gun.
