Commando Archive

Well, after 2 months of working at it, Ive became a novice commando. Man was I pumped. I looked at these other elite professions, hybrid professions like BH and pistoleer and saw how powerful they were with just a pistol and a rifle! I thought to myself, "If a pistol can be that powerful, imagine what a flame thrower, launcher pistol, rocket launcher, acid rifle would be like! :drools at the mouth:"

To my dismay, I found how weak they really were. Aren't commandos suppose to be the heavy artillery that are able to take down AT-AT, and AT-STs for the rebels? Arent they suppose to be the elite of the elite warriors? All they seem to be is a bunch of ______.

So I came to this forum to get answers, but all I saw the issues I brought up being brushed off by the devs, like so many other issues. This statement is echoing through my head right now, "They are suppose to be close range weapons." In the movie the patriot, (I know, not a modern war example, but makes my point.) The calavary, and the land troops ran in first, with cannons blasting behidn them to clear the way for the invasion! This is the way artillery is suppose to be! Commandos job is to clear the way! Not run in the way!

Why, oh why, are pistoleers more powerful than a commando? A freaking pistol canout damage a ROCKET LAUNCHER!

I will go cry now....

Just going by the title alone all I can say is:

I am so, so sorry. You have my condolences.

It will get fixed dont worry too much (the whole t21 hot-fix nerf/unnerf has us all a bit irritated though).

A bit irritated? pfft We're well beyond that point.

Novice Commando/Master Surgeon/Smuggler

i feel your pain, i've wanted to be a commando since beta. sigh two days ago i desided to become a commando in live and i did yesterday =/ i love the launcher pistol. but everything could use alot of work.. like it would be cool.. if the acid rifle was good..lol

Well I made commando in three weeks... was extremely pumped up about it... and after playing with my brand new launcher pistol all i can say is **edit** it... My crappy FWG5 pistol (i gave my nice sliced one to a buddy when i made commando) can do triple the DPS of the launcher pistol, and my pistol skill is only at spec.

I spent 2 solid days doing quests for C-3PO...then some alien...then wedge...then Leia...then Niem...all to find out the quests are broken... and it lead to nothing.

My subscription is up in 8 days and if there snt some sort of light in sight im hitting the cancel button in 7.

Heavy weapons are a sick sick joke... how the hell do you miss with a hand grenade?

"Close only counts in horshoes and ...." oh well nevermind...

I'll give ya the advice I've heard many a time from other novice commandos...

go bounty hunter, like the other 33% of the peeps playing...laff

don't worry once they fix the hvy weapons you will see many more commandos...well they will be BH with some commando for the heavy weapons...laff
