ok one of the biggest things that i hate about this game is the mobs of players that feel that they need to be "uber" to have fun. one of my biggest fears with the combat revamp is that the devs are finally gonna give us some love and we will once again be a good profession. once this happens all these "ubers" are gonna come flocking to this profession and cause its downfall (again). so here is what i propose, if you are currently a master comando or if you master comando before it is fixed sign this thread so that the comunity can know who the true comandoes are, the ones that have stuck with the profession threw all its problems becuase they love the concept and the play style of being a comando.This way we can refer back to this thread and know who the true comandoes were and who the ubers are. i know this is stupid now, but i can guarantee if we finally get some love us true comandoes are gonna hate the negatives these ubers are gonna bring to our profession. so please let the comunity know you are a true comando and your pround of it

Started this game wanting to be a commando, became a commando, still a commando. Although I have been taking a break from the game and am considering coming back and just screwing around with other professions just to try them out, then coming right back to commando.

I started this game about a year ago. probably a week after release. I had no idea what I was doing, or what I could do. It came to me that I should just as well master marksman. I did so. After which I took a 5 month break from the game, coming back in May. I had then decided it was time to choose an elite class. I choose Commando. It had always been something I thought to gear towards, it sounded fun, and the name itself was what brought me into it. The idea of being one of the empire's elite professions. A commando ready to do all he could do to protect the Empire.

Ubers or not, they'll be commandos.

I'm a commando through and through. I'm about to become TKM with it, and when I'm bored of having to be less than 20m away from my target I'm going for Pistoleer to make use of my launcher pistol.

hehe mate, I think we all know who the true commandos on this board are :-)....Id say most of the hardcore uberness, if they do flock, prolly would not flock to the boards.
But of course, be mindful of the future...the CB is still uncertain of extactly what will change...hopefully they'll fairly balance out our power..just like everyone else. Not to mention, commando is harder to lvl due to the xp cap...just like with the new jedi who are uber...eventually people are going to get there, and could very well mess something up...devs are playing it safe and properlly taking the time to balance this...which is excellent.

My original template was Commando/TKM. And I really enjoyed it but kept getting schooled in PvP. I switched to Master Brawler/Master Fencer/Master Swordsman/TK 4003. Up close, I was shrewd. But it was just _boring_. Templates like that are just button mashers( which - if thats how you want to play more power to you ), and I found myself missing my flamethrower so I went back to Commando/TK( finishing up TK now ). I feel, as a commando with the huge nerf we've been given, we're FORCED to actually take some tactics into play. I'm ranged support. I try to PvP with my guild C-III as a ranged support type. I hang back a good 45m from the main action and I'll lob rockets or lay out SuppressionShot while my guild brothers and sisters w/ high dodges and defenses do the wetwork. I don't get kills, but I'm a helping hand and I think it gives a good edge. One on One, yea, a commando is in trouble. But I feel that with a good Dev( like GreenMarine ) who will actually take note of everything Garvin's got to say will take us miles. Maybe we won't be able to solo Fencers, but that's fine. Just allow me to protect my brethren more effectively. I think we're in for some really great stuff and those who stuck by Commandos are going to get some glory.
That being said, if you ever have a problem finding some Commando weapons on Flurry, send me an email with some specs( Ghola is a Master Weaonsmith ) and I'll work with you to find a good match for you at no charge. Just keep in mind, if we find a good combo, you may find Bishamonten pointing it at you from down range

As for the whole Commando being Uber / overbalanced / whatever, I am going to live on the CB Sandbox and test out Commando in as many ways as I can, to try and get it just where it should be. Assuming they actually listen to the feedback from TC.

I created this character in mid/late October, with the intent to be a Master Commando. I achieved Master status in December. I'm still a Master, and I have no intention of dropping it. I'll be here when Commando becomes the flavor of the month, and I'll still be here once 95% of the people have moved on to the next "flavor".
