So now the respec is ending, and commandos are still broken. I realy want to play a commando and probably will, but currently it just isnt fun. So with respec ending and were still broken. Wasnt the point of the respec to find a proffession you would like to play in the new system?

How can we know if we want to play commandos if we dont know how they are intending to work? The documentation on the profession says damage dealing = 5, but were out damage by all other ranged proffessions. Ive patiently been waiting for a fix, but with respec ending Im getting cold feet since I still dont know what they intend todo with commando.


Would it be possible to get some sort of information on whats going on? Will we get a prolonged respec period becouse of this?

Read somewhere that the poor devs are tired out and are taking a vacation due to the CU and crunch time. haha, that's way you pay them to do, their fault they didn't work in anticipation, now respec is ending and I'm probably not going to stay commando.

Its not that bad, PFT is our only saving grace atm, as a Master Commando/Master Carbineer/Stalker I am having a blast KD'ing and snaring jedi with my E11 or slugthrower, then incinerating them with my PFT.

Master Pistoleer, Master BH, Master Marksman, Carbines 0030, I have a nice pre-nerf FWG5 that converted nicely (560ish range) and there are some trandoshan pistols that are 548 DPS range. So, w/ that template I not only get a better/wider range of weapons and damage types + increased DPS, I get a ton of state moves, crowd control moves, very good defenses and just overall fun. No more aggroing everything, no more close range, no more blinding myself...etc..


I'm still hesitant on Commando because I have good gear for it (minus the flamethrower that converted to trash) and I really enjoyed it pre-CU. So we'll see, I'm just tired of waiting for fixes in this game, thats all that this game has been for most of us....

Went with MBH/MCarb with 0/4/0/4 Pistoleer on my main combat toon from MComm/MRifle/MM Pre-CU (Nasty in a fire fight on offense and defense)


Went with MSmugg/TKM with 4/0/0/4 Pistoleer on my MComm/MSmugg with Scout (Kinda fun to fight with a pistol unarmored and still do pretty decent damage with a high end pistol and be able to switch to unarmed for CoB if you have to survive and run dropping the pistol)


Went with MBH/MSL/MM on my toon that was a MComm with 0/4/4/4 BH (Really fun squad leader balanced with +90 speed to rifles, pistols, carbs without tapes and around +190-200 acc and still be able to lead and tank if needed).


Out of three Master Comm's (one from Sept '03).... all are gone.

Tired out from what? We did all the work for them in beta bugging these issues they have yet to fix,so they release the CU to live without taking care of us as a thanks for the work we paid them to put in and did ourselves. If I screw something up at work I have to work overtime to fix it. Read the stickies on these forums. We've done an excellent job of identifying our issues, coming up with solutions, heck, we've even checked with the other correspondents to make sure they were ok with the changes we've asked for and are very patiently anticipating. And we're paying them to sit on this indefinitely? Frustrating to say the least.


I'm tired of making posts like this but it's the only thing I can do because every time I log in it's another disappointment. We've gotten no fixes and no information other than "We just don't know when but something's coming." Not good enough.


It's like the commercial for digital cable with the people in the satellite dish class. The instructor guy is standing up front and says "Class, today we're going to learn one of our most powerful diverting phrases "We're working on it." Then he has several of the dish installers practice the phrase. At the end of the commercial a lady from the back raises her hand and asks "Are we working on it?" And the instructor gets a smug grin on his face and does the little double quote sign with his fingers and says "Define 'Working on it' " and everyone laughs. Then at the end of the commercial the digital cable guy's voiceover plays telling about next day service and blah blah blah.


So are we workin' on it? or are we "Workin' on it?" I've heard of too many satellite subscribers (SWG players)switching to Digital Cable (WoW or another MMORPG)

I dropped commando finally because quite frankly, its useless right now. I never used my PFT because as soon as id kill something it'd get back up from incap thanks to the burn DOT. I ended up using my DC15 rifle more and more, and when i realized i hadnt used any commando stuff (only weapons be we dont have specials) in week, i decided just to drop it for BH (Need one or the other to wear mando).
