hello devs,



now, i've spent a few hours on the commando forum alone, reading and posting, and i have to say that through it all, I am still generally unhappy with the patching that's been done for commando


I know everyone has their own unique suggestions for damage, speed, and maintenince on all of the commando's weapons, along with added things like knockdown etc etc, not to mention the fact that these people are all very, VERY angry.


now, if you were really trying to help us out and make us all happy, you'd be pulling your hair out right now, and if you weren't you'd be laughing at us. honestly, i think its a strange mix of both.


but here's the thing, you're the devs, we're not. we've told you generally what we want and when we want it, so its your job to do it. now i know there are a ton of threads and a ton of posts in each, but its your job to go over these and find out what these people crave! if you dont then you will lose so much! im not just talking about money from people who will quit because of it, but you will lose credibility, and faith from your fellow gamers (IK you all play video games) so dont let everyone here down


there's no pleasing everyone, of this I and many others are fully aware, but you can at least try, at least for the game's sake. do you want to look back on SWG and thing "jesus that was a catastrophe nothing got done!" or do you want to look back on it and say "oh mary! what a **edit** fine video game!" So please read these posts, take notes, put things together and make, no, CRAFT a profession that flows well and isnt some clunky ass-backward POS that a hundreds of people just wasted their time on.


the only thing that we, (at least almost all of us) ask of you is to make something that is challenging and enjoyable, not just some problematic addition to a game that stands head and shoulders above 99% of the other games out there in creativity, complexity, and playablity


perhaps i've gone on too long, I don't know, but I encourage others to post their ideas and feelings here as well, stop with almost all of the suggestions(unless you just had a breakthrough that will solveall of this)and just tell the devssimply and systematically what you want to see done with this profession, then leave it up to them to create something wonderful with the information that we gave



so i wish youthe best ofluck, devs, in this task of creating a profession that people will love and stick with, you've got good ideas and you're getting close, we can feel it! thanks for your time.
