Thread: Complitation of SOE quotes OR I bring the news from the mountain
No joy was to be found. Only ridicule and scorn.
So many dead bunnies lay at my feet.
And lo..with a patch we were transformed. We laid low our enemies and sent them to a fiery damnation...
Quothe the bunny...Nevermore!
Ahhh...but came forth the many cries of our enemies. L33t D00dz demanding our return to ridicule and scorn.
And SOE said...
"This is deliberate.
Flamethrowers and the like only have 4 special attacks, and they are all limited to 16 meters. So they are very powerful close range weapons....The rest of these weapons are correctly setup (at least for now). The commando class gets next to no defensive mods. They have reusable weapons that are fully functional at 16 meters or less. All of their other damage producing abilities are based around consumables which are extremely expensive"
But the masses were not satisfied. They lept up their platforms screaming for Commandos destruction.
Commandos rebuked them with SOE's words; yet quietly feared the words "at least for now".
Then that dark day appeared.
And SOE said...
"Sounds like we may have overdone it on the commandos."
And a massive cry came from the Commandos.
No! Take us not back into pain and futility. Nerf us not!
Fear ruled the land as Commandos pleaded their case and waited for word.
And SOE said...
"We're not doing anything to the commandos at the moment."
Fear still ruled our hearts; again those words "at the moment"
And SOE said...
"FWIW, the designer in charge of combat balance feels that commandos are correct right now. He feels that the melee guys are the ones at disadvantage. That seems to accord with what we are seeing on the replies here"
And there was great rejoicing. For in the attacks upon Commandos, Melee will rejoice in upgrades they shall receive.
And SOE said...
"The pecking order should be roughly even. The exceptions are that master professions that take more skill points should get a bit more of an edge as a reward for the additional investment"
So it shall be said, woe to those not as combat oriented as others. Your arguments flawed as it is said, it is...
the way...
It..
Should be!
Amen!
Ivo, I've always beena big fan, but was that good news, bad news, or a passage from Genesis...
Whats goin on here, are we in the green for a while?
Ivoni, you're the man! Keep it up. 
Arabell Esniek, Master Commando
To simplify...
The things in quotes were direct quotes from SOE. Exactly what they said.
In short, what they who make the rules and this game say
1. We are as we should be for damage. No nerf.
2. Those of us with more combat reqs (BH and Commando) deserve to be stronger and better than the rest.
Every single nerf crier will be sent here.
oh and that 800 mind damge I was talking about is in PvP...he can do 4000+ in PvE

why would you use a special?
that's poor tactics. poor tactics deserves an incap (isn't that our motto now?)
well and if you didn't use a special you're obviously assuming it's a one on one duel, becuase you'd need to use a special if it was a big battle so you could try and quickly dispatch this person and move onto the next one spreading flamethrower love to all around...
...but seriously, running away from melee fighters is cheap, it just makes you look like a n00b for not wanting to actually fight.
