I've seen TH send a lot of attention towards DE's lately...so here is hoping he has some time for us...I originally posted these questions in the In Concept forum, but I thought I'd post them here as well (more visability)...they don't cover all our issues, but it would be a good start to have a few answers (and not just "Wait for the new Combat Balance")...Please leave any "Dev Bashing" out of this post as they have stated tehy ignore these type of posts...


1) The Dev's NERF'd the Commando DoTs to prevent griefing, but more people are now calling for a NERF do to the increase in the Commando initial power of their specials (they are not taking into account heat resists and general armor protections). Is there any plan to fix the Commandos Flame Thower so it DOES NOT see a power reduction (which would make it useless with such a small DoT)? How do Dev's plan on balancing this without NERFing to death the Commando's only valid weapon?


2) The Heavy Acid Rifle tree of Commando still has skill mods that do not stack anda weapon that has the same retrictions as the FT (range and delay) but no DoT. Is there a plan to fix or replace this weapon? There have been suggestions in the Commando forum lately to replace this weapon (or change it) so it either temporarily reduces resists via it's specials, increases vunerabilities or effect armor layer protection...What is planned for this weapon/tree?


3) Commandos are the only ranged profession that has ALL of it's profession specials working only in Melee Range, yet Commandos have less melee defense then any elite ranged profession (which all have ranged specials and don't need to get into melee range to use)...Is there any thought into increasing the Commando Melee Defense or increasing the Commando special range to 32m (half of other ranged professions, but more then Melee professions)?


4) At the state that the Commando Profession has reached, most Commandos figure that the only thing that will save our profession is a complete revamp/overhaul of it's entire structure...Has this been considered, and if so, when should we expect to hear/see any results? Any ideas of what we have to look forward too?


We are just looking for a reason to hold on and keep the faith...


Thank you for your time...

*crickets chirp*

all is silent on the dev front




'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'

I'm usually calm and positive about this game. I have done my best to enjoy it and just have fun. (even with my no armor wookie), but I am starting to get pissed. I really only like to play professions like bounty hunter, smuggler, or a commando. These would seem to me to get major attention from the devs as they seem to add a realistic feel to the star wars univerise. BUT these professions seem to get the least attention from the devs. This makes no sense to me.
