The devs to remove this as a profession?
Seems they don't want us.
Other players don't want us. Well, Jedi want us to pwn, but thats another issue..
Why are we still here?
2 years now, for 2 years, this have been a profession with no hopes but the hope of an angel of mercy among the devs to come pick us up.
We just have to realise, it aint comming.
I hear there are many games on the market now, and I hear BH is cool.
I've had 4 commando characters, 1 for near 2 years, another for year and a half, yet another for half a year and one who reached commando yesterday.
2 years, and I feel like the guy who fell asleep on the railway, stupid.

I jumped ship. I figure if I'm going to have any fun out of this game, it's gonna have to be as a different profession combo. Commando just doesn't get any respect

Ha, that won't happen, sadly. I'm really starting to believe the devs derive some kind of sick sadistic pleasure from watching us get nerfed/broken again and again.

Sony also had fun killing Everquest I think. I really wish they would fix this however...

I was a commando since launch, over two years of waiting and commando still sux compared to other combat proffesions. I stayed with you guys as long as I could, but i couldn't wait any longer and re-specced. Another Vet commando gone.

We're still here because we're the best of the best and the best community around. No delusions of grandeur need apply.
Im more than ever pissed at what happened, and the lack of response from the dev's lately (most likely due to E3...but, why have the mother of all revamps happen RIGHT before both an expansion AND the largest video game expo on the planet?), all the correspondents are feeling frustrated as a result of it. Both ranger and commando are in the same boat as they were pre-CU, only the format changed not the efficiency of the format.
However, don't get into the self-suicide mentality guys. One way or another, we'll see commando live up to its name. Even if I have to make my own commando game to achieve it... (which ironically, a friend of mine is trying to make a SW-themed game, and Im working on some graphical aspects of it)
In the end however, I promised myself I would see to the return of glory for the profession which I thought would happen in the CU. Well it hasn't yet, but that small promise I made to myself in the beginning of my correspondentship is still there...and after my term limit is up and we still haven't achieved it, Ill be fighting even harder. We got three months till then.

You stay Correspondent as long as it takes or until you explode.
I'm giving the Devs until about June 10th or something to fix us. I won't be back on til then so there's no way I can give up my Commando skills. Ya but after that, it's self destruct. I love being a Commando, but this is torture. Pride is one thing but this ia a game. I honestly can't have fun the way Commando is. It's a pain. Commando just sucked before, but now it's broke. I mean broke.
To be honest I'm also the verge of quitting. The lack of Dev response to fix anything like broken professions, game bugs, and Jedi. Jedi is getting to the point of causing riots soon. I love it when not only do my weapons bring every Mob from the Mountains to me but also my missions just magically disappear then I lose it. Luckily I'm grinding BH, which actually is far better then Commando in every way, so it takes away from the pain of being a Commando now.

So whats a good BH template?
I feel for some revenge on the devs boobsuckling baby jedi.
These "things" keep getting fix after fix after fix, they keep getting the barriers that were to keep them in place removed...
And yet, the normal professions, keep staying broke, nerfed or made useless.
I just want to shoot something, the living manifestation of whats wrong with the game and the devs. For every jedi I can take down, it will feel like I'm getting my payback on the devs and their broken promises.
Promises that they made, before this game was in beta, promises they made before this game came out of beta, promises they made after launch, and every promise ever since. Broken, so they could breastfeed their baby jedi, so us, the "normal" characters, were slowly squeezed out of the game. And in some cases, so ignored, broken, that we actually had no place in the game afterall.
I live like a hermit now, far away from towns, because if I go into towns, all I see are jedi swinging their sabres, standing on corners pimping out their 1337 duelskills to anyone who needs a lil lube lovin from a sabre. And in every alley, you can find a jedi spice head, begging for their 1337 duelskillz to be used to chop you down into only your wallet and a bag of spices.
And yet, they never fight eachother, unless some poor BH from PA-A killed the jedi from PA-B, and PA-B declared a jedi jihad on PA-A.
Man, I havent been this far down bout the game and being what I wanted to be, commando, ever before. It's like I've become obsolete, forgotten, a relic of ancient times.
Commando..I have 4 commando characters..before respec ends..I'm not sure if I will have any.
And I never strayed from the commando, not since I discovered it after launch....

A good BH template would probably include some some rifles from marksman (but not rifleman itself) to tag from a distance, and some carbineer/pistoleer skills. Use something to root the Jedi in place in you can, then start slapping him with state effect shots like concussion/confusion shot, eye shot, and intimidation shot. Then use underhand shot to knock their ass down, and then proceed to lay into them with the most powerful weapon you have.
I would suggest having another BH along as backup, though. I'm not sure what those bloody Jedi might have to defend themselves now.
Probably my tank.

You know..if jedi gets your tank..
I am personally going to jump the next plane to USA, survive the 14 hour flight by chewing on the random Star Trek fan, and then start knocking on some doors around the SOE offices..
I know a few WW2OL players around there, that would happily come help their ol' Pink Panzer buddy to rustle some geek coders feathers...
