Commando Archive

If you want other professions to avoid posting support in your requests, or even to post negative responses, there's a surefire way to acheive it.

Post in their threads stating that because you're more broken than they are, they don't deserve to be fixed.

Nobody believes the Commando class is not broken. Indeed, before I decided on the Ranger class, my plan was to be a Commando/Pistoleer. I might still use that combination later, if the class is "unbroken" in a coming patch.

We have the utmost respect for your perseverence, but please keep your requests positive and relevant. Telling a Ranger that /maskscent should stay broken because your effective ranges are 0 is not going to improve your plight.

I sympathize....

gonna have to go with htat last message there

ok i can live with that..... but

(theres allways a but)

the fact that maskscent dosent work does not completely keep you from advancing in your profession, heck we cant even get teh weopons and if for some reason we do get them they are big pieces of junk... i just dont think that after being completely gated for so long its easy to just listen to things like... yay were pistoleers we want holdsters so it looks cool, or these new schematics that are taking the rare rescources off commando weopons are going to lose me a few k credits... OR, oh no i cant walk through a group of animals without being noticed whatever shall i do. they just all seem quite trivial after being a novice comando for a month and feeling accomplished when you take out a gnort

I think the point that's attempting to be addressed here is that every profession's board has at least one "OMG, this is the most broken class" thread. I don't think anyone here in the commando board has said that the other bugs in other areas of the games don't matter, we commandos simply feel that our profession needs more attention from the devs than it has been getting. Although, I hear our exclusive 'patch made to fix commando profession' is soon to be up on test center, if it isn't already. Eveyone hang in there!

But what do you hope to acheive by pointing this out? Yes, the Commando is more broken than the Ranger. Yes, anyone who looks at the states of both classes can easily see this. You have convinced nobody, because we're all already convinced.

What do you want done? Do you want a coder who has been spending his time working on forage tables and concealment bonuses to shift over and code you a new weapon? This will just make you more broken than you are now, and you know it.

Saying that our concerns are irrelevant makes you look selfish and childish. If you want your class fixed, find hard data to support your assertations (in many cases this has been done for you, so I can understand why you would be bored), and make clear, well-reasoned suggestions based on the return on skill points spent why your skill trees should be more or less powerful.

When the Commando class is fixed, I would hope, because you spent those extra Brawler points, that a Master Commando is, overall, slightly more powerful than a Master Ranger. I would hope that mastering a weapon skill would bring a Master Ranger up to par with a Master Commando, and I would hope that a Master Commando who has not acheived any other skills would not be the equal of a Master Ranger who was also a Master Rifleman.

If you wish to contradict me on any of these points, feel free. Saying that mask scent needs to be broken, or that Pistoleers should have their new content features removed, because you can't fire a rocket more than three meters will only createa large base of players who are openly hostile to your concerns.

This Will Get You Nerfed.
