Just wanted to comment on the great ideas brought up in the petition post by starnick, unfortunately I think we all know our voices will be unheard. We need to face the fact that the only issue the devs care about at the moment are those concerning jedi. However, there were some great ideas in there. As for me, my biggest complaint's are that considering we are all using "heavy weapons" don't you think they should be heavy armor piercing, let them tone down the damage on them, but please make them ap3. Also, we need way more accuracy. The reason commando sucks so bad in pvp we cant hit the broad side of a barn, especially against all these fencer/rifleman with there 125 ranged defense. Maybe we can give the petition post a bump two or three months from now when the devs have pleased the jedi community and are ready to fix professions that have been around for almost a year now.

Hehe that old post is approx 3 months old..so someone did bump it to keep it "alive".
However, at this point its uneeded...the revamp petition sparked off several discussions and then the wishlist I put together...which finally spawned into Razerwolf's Commando revamp idea...which was then submitted to TH by garvin...who surprisingly...liked it...
So that old petition did its worth, now all we gotta do atm is wait...like usual of course :-)

...I made a post on a revamp idea as well though. 
It didn't get nearly as much feedback if I remember correctly... that and I think it predates the petition.

I remember revamp posts as far back from 1st to 2nd months after launch .....that old petition was at the height of the tensions between us and the devs...it was more a demand than a petition...hehe
.....that old petition was at the height of the tensions between us and the devs...it was more a demand than a petition...heheAnd also got me into a wild frenzy that hasnt stopped yet, and got me to post a hell lot more on these forums..and Fight Fight Fight!!
And heh...all the "old timers" here one way or another posted a revamp post....but razer's I think was the height of perfection...the wishlist was a list of all our ideas, he beautifully combined it all into a unique revamp idea that embraces and covers every single major idea from launch to now...
Edit: oh btw.. /BONK!!
[hehe /bonk is becoming more commando than emote..just ask garvin and my little Secret order of the bonk society!! muhahahha]

Stop it
There was sod all actual original ideas, just things which had come up in previous revamp posts, the wishlist ideas, the Launcher Rifle post that was floating about, the everlasting Assault Rifle thread etc. etc. The "new" missions were just slightly modified missions that already exist in game. (I have a screenshot of where the factory for the final act 3 mission actually spawned inside the Science outpost. I think someone got stuck in the med centre.) All I did was pick and mix the things which felt like they went best together with minimal actual hard coding, since something similar already existed.How many times have you all seen posts like:
"Commando needs more melee defence/toughness/mitigation, after all, we're in melee range most of the time."
"Disposable weapons need to be more accurate and not cost so damned much. RLs need to be reloadable. RLs need to be equippable."
"Commando needs a non-disposable AP weapon. Why is the HAR not AP, every other acid weapon in the game is at least AP1."
"The HAR and FT trees need to be merged, they're the same thng anyway."
"Grenades need to be longer ranged. Grenades need to not kill the Commando. Grenades should have status effects."
"Commando needs melee moves, we have an unarmed prerequisite that gives us nothing."
"Commando needs some kind of placed explosive charge, like a mine or a timed C4 charge."
"Commando needs some unique content, BH is the only other Hybrid combat profession and they have their own mission Terminals."
"Commando needs to have more effect in the GCW."
"A E-web would be such a perfect weapon for the Commando."
I think we get at least 3 of them come up every week by someone who's not posted here before.
