Last night I had more fun then I've had in a long time...


Many of us have heard rumors of a speed bug currently on TC and TC2 (which have lead to some folks calling for a Commando NERF...something we rarely hear these days...lol)...Last night I finally went out and ran some tests...


Basically what this bug does is it allows us (and I'm sure others) to spam our specials every 1.0 seconds...and even better...WE HAVE NO DELAY thanks to this bug...


Last night on TC I was spamming /flamesingle2 for 6K to 10K in damage every second in PvE...If the bug lasts tonight, I'm going NS hunting...lol...I was taking out large packs in 3 or 4 seconds via spamming /flamecone2...


Why am I telling you about this and encouraging folks to use it? Because it's fun...and we Commandos haven't really had a whole lot of fun lately...go out and enjoy it while it lasts if you have a Commando on TC...All I ask is that you DO NOT use or abuse this during PvP unless the opponent is ok with it...this gives some "not clued in" folks the impression that it is not a bug...And don't use it to kill steal with it...we don't need to create a whole new group of Commando Haters...Just have fun...Who them nasty beasties how we could really light up their world if we had things our way...


It is also a good time to grind your commando...I was taking out lair after lair in seconds flat last night...I earned over 100K in credits last night (running missions on dant) in about 20 minutes...


Who knows how long this bug will last...have fun with it...after all, it is a Test Server...just don't grief with it please...I'm confident this bug will be fixed soon since it really does unbalance us quite considerably (our delay is due to our power)...But hey...we can dream can't we...

And to those coming here to complain about what they saw or felt on TC or TC2 at the hands of a Commando...it's a bug...a known bug...


I'm sorry if you were hurt by it...if you felt your were grief'd, /report it...


But don't jump right in and call for a NERF...there is no point to nerf'ing something that is due to a bug that will eventually be fixed long before it ever hits the live server...

HI all first time i have posted here in the commando forums.


I'm guessing alot of garvins post came from me posting about Commandos and there flamers on Jedi forums anyway i was in no way asking or shouting for a nerf of the commando just for the others reading my post.


anyway just wanted to come on here and first say Thanks to your correrspondent Garvin For addressing this and informing me of this bug.


Unfortuntly i was hit with this with my jedi vs the commando and lets just say he came off the better one much better anyway its a bug so nothing to worry about.


Last i agree with Garvin This is a pretty cool bug while it last for you guys and you should enjoy it even i myself can see commandos get very little attention so enjoy it while it last and please dont use it in PVP it does ruin it i know.


i was in a group of 17dark jedi vs god knows how many lights and one commando comes along and toasts us all kinda funny real but spoiled it


so im here to say enjoy it by all means but just not exploit it


thanks for all your time


now get out there and cook up a storm (some krayt will be nice though)

Actually I did see you post...and I didn't feel offended by it at all...in fact, before I read it, I had tested the bug a bit, but not much...it encouraged me to go out and really give it a good go...I had fun with it, but can definitely see how it could be used for griefing, as well as give some who are note as familiar with the Commando profession, the wrong idea about us...it also gives an inaccurate testing result of Commando Vs. Jedi...


But heck...sure is fun while it lasts...
