Commando Archive

we me gripe whine b|tch and complain but every single one of us here is loyal to the proffession we picked up and a good deal of us refuse to drop it till the bitter end

if thats the way you feel that fine. The game is suppose to be fun and if your not having fun anymore there really isnt' any reason to play. Personally I have left twice and have come back each time harder and more deterimined. Broken class and all I enjoy this game and my community to much to leave for good

I did the same thing. I was master commando pre-cu, i loved it. It was the best profession in the game. It was the most fun I've ever had in an MMO game. Pre-cu, commando was unique. It had spice to it. It didnt go by the ordinary standards of the rest of the professions. You could hit a mob for 10k damage every 16 seconds. I loved that, because it was so satisfying to be able to take stuff down in one shot, instead of dinking around shooting it 20 times with a pistol or rifle or whatever. But now, it has fallen. Its just another profession now. The guns work the exact same way a rifle works, except you are given a broken AOE, and you don't get any specials or recoveries. Thats the exact reason that im now BH/Pistoleer instead of my precious BH/Commando. If they fix commando, then i will drop pistoleer ASAP to try it out. But until then, im just another ordinary pistoleer.

I did the holo grind way back when.

Got Commando my 3d holo.... wow... I loved this profession.... flamethrower, dots, mayhem,destruction!!!!!

This is the one profession I really miss. Sony had so much with this game, with this profession, and they screwed it up to the point that it's nearly unbelieveable. The incompetence necessary to totally bork this profession, this game, is rarely found in this world. There are mentally handicapped people capable of more productive endeavors. Seriously.

I'm an old crusty guy, and my wife and I were little single-digit-aged kids when Star Wars originally hit the theaters in 1977..... and now I'm an old fart and in business and whatnot, and if anyone who worked for me "solved issues" like SOE did they'd be on unemployment so fast their food stamps would be singed around the edges.

SparkyNine! Hats off! I too saw A New Hope in theatres in it's initial run! I too have managed software endeavors for large corporations. With some of the coding stuf I see in this game, and I'm not even talking about the big problems like broken AoE and Proton Rifles that don't fire, the coders would last less than the 2 weeks it took to get 'em off the payroll. I mean, all those little 0s and (s and stuf in the weapon descriptions? Arrays with garbage in memory, perhaps? No freemem commands at all? Static arrays instead of dynamic? (Sorry, geeking out.) Do they even teach pointers in college anymore?

Bugs that were fixed and are returning? Anybody in project management ever heard of Source Code Control Systems? Releasing GIGANTIC updates on Friday before the Memorial Day Weekend? REAL good project management skills shown there.

I dunno. Seems they've got a bunch o' guys there who like to code stuf just going at it with no direction at all. I love this game and still have 5 accounts. It's got such a great potential withits size, scope and depth (AND it's sci-fi) that no other MMO can touch. But they REALLY need to get some coders and project managers in there who've at least finished college.

I have a hard time dropping this profession, been commando several times acorss a few different characters in the past two years, and I miss flamesingle2 with a 1300+ dmg FT while hunting Jedi with a BH hybrid back in the old days, and the smuggler/commando combo currently I've been finding fairly evened out offensively and defenseively so I'm pretty happy- and now to wait for the elemntal damage fix since we got lots of that.

Well, I sincerely hope that they fix Commando... but I am not holding my breathe. Everything that they have done to nerf the profession makes me think that it is as "fixed" as it's going to get, sorta like a pet getting fixed. After they fix it... it doesn't work right, and there is no use for it.. hehe.

I hate to say this, I've been a Commando for well over a year, but I am giving up too. I've heard rumors of one more respec for everyone in a day or 2, and if so, I'm going to have to drop Commando. I'd happily regrind the whole thing if they ever fix it but I'm not seeing that happen anytime soon.

Guess I'll be a rifleman like everyone else. :-(

well since i know we are supposedly getting one more shot at respecing after the disaster that this has been, im hoping they will fix commando to what it should be before we get that respec so i can com eback. cuz being a combat medic is about as healthy as jumping on a pre-cu thermal detenator, what with the high agro and all. much prefer commando.
