Commando Archive

I hate seeing this. I've been a dedicated commando and played with other professions on and off since July 03 and I cannot blame you. I've seen the good and the bad but right now these are the killers:

1. The FT has less DPS than most FWG's? I've also got +25 in accuarcy AA's and the stick is worse than my marksman rifles.

2. The Acid rifle always did look like it was throwing a tampax at the target and they fixed that but now it blinds you EVERYTIME at ANY distance.

3. Our cannons ARE THE BIGGEST ARRO magnets in the game. /knee; /aim; /"fire lighteningcannon"; /Burst runnnnnnnnn because the entire lair just got really pissed and so did the group you were with. People /tell commandos to put your weapons away in groups!

4. I've been reading about people using the RL and I went there. Can you explain how a rifle has better range? Why is the damage,DPS, etc worse than say a light LS?

5. RL pistols are just too weak.

6. Grenades can be used when your alone and the targets are close and you have a root from another profession on target.

So like so many I tried Commando/BH, Commando/SM, Commando/Pistoleer, etc. etc. etc. I know the numbers show with commando my Melee defense and Ranged defense are GREAT but without a NONcommando weapon I am not viable in combat because commando has NOworking offensive weapons or specials. Again, I hate these post because I've enjoyed commando a long time but I enjoy being a good combat player more. I had hope it would get fixed before respect ends but dont see that happening and also wish all of you hanging on the best. The flammer no matter the dps is still the coolest and man there is nothing like getting those shots in with the precu Beam cannon and take out (2) peeps at the same time or a really good rocket launcher hit that did like 3800 in damage and your whole group would be like "Do that again."

MBH/MSG/rifles has me hooked now. My rifle is my best friend. My roots keep damage to a min and in closeKD is really good with acarbine or a FWG. Its not as fun as commando was but it is fun!

See you in game!

I hear ya No more commando for me either, highly uncool. But now I rock in combat, just with less style.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I respeced to commando for the style and I've already decided I'm staying for that reason -- even with the poor damages and lacking AoE damage.

Maybe the fact that I've been a smuggler and we have only had style for so long makes the idea of style over substance seem natural.

We'll keep the fires burning for ya if ya ever decide to come back.

Lots of people leaving at the moment and still no word from SOE on what their doing instead we keep getting these pitiful hotfixes for minor issues when there are gaping holes in this game waiting to be plugged.

If their working on the second balance pass of the CURB or a major content bug fixing patch could they at the very least not tell us about it ? if there is no big patch within the next 2 weeks Ill get more pissed of then I have ever been before in this game.

They said six additional days.... let's hope there is a good reason for it, like a major fix within the week.
