Commando Archive

Hey commandos,

I'm a bounty hunter, but I'm deeply concerned about how you guys are being treated (I'm just a sympathizer). I think you should be fixed and the DE and then maybe BHs. But definitely you first.

I saw the designer response to you guys and was appalled. I was even more disgusted when I saw the CH designer response. Which is why I'm posting... just wanted to bring it to your attention - you should be up in arms!

well right now we got some emtpy promises thats it. Iam starting to think we arent gonna be that great unless we can do damage that rivals BH Pistoler Rifleman etc. Right now we arent anything but a bunch of weaklings with launcer pistols using pistoler skills

If commando were fixed I'd give up my BH skills and do commando in a heart-beat. Just so my commando buddies and I could rape AT-STs all the time. Too bad.

Wish they would do to us what they did for the Rangers. A complete overhaul of all of thier skills. Even thought there wasn't any real problem with Rangers in the first place.

"It seems commando's are completly **edit**ed, BUT the rangers AREwhining about not being unique enough.. what to do, what to do.."

Ugh.

Zee , I feel for you commandoes , I really do .

But there were so many things wrong with the Ranger line I don't even know where to begin ....

First of all , the camps we get in ranger line are broken . They don't heal faster and they don't repel creatures . That's that's one whole line of skills .

Second , the bonus we are supposed to get with harvesting boxes in the Ranger lines is so little it's a joke . Fill all four skill boxes and you might see a difference of mayber 4 or 5 hides over a Novice Scout . SCOUT ! And this is the Ranger tree . So that's the second entire line of skill boxes that are worthless .

Third , the bonus we get to Wayfaring applies to our crawl speed . Whoopdie do . If this line of boxes is filled , you eventually get to crawl as fast as another player walking . Not running , mind you . Walking . The other thing offered in this line is Cammo bonus , which is virtually undetectably any different than having no more added to your cammo skill . You get just as much protection at Master Scout . So that's the third line of skills , utterly useless .

Fourth , the last line offers two traps exclusive to the Ranger profession . Both traps suck ass , and even if they weren't buggy as hell and gave XP for using them , they would still never get used because they suck . Then the Exclusive skill /Rescue .... where do I start with this one ? It's utterly useless and only serves to make a monster attack you instead of someone else . Or you can use it to grief Bounty Hunters . We get plus to trapping , which means we can use the one and only trap that is any good at all , the slow trap .... which is basically a watered down 1/4 effective knockdown that doesn't always work and still leaves you vulnerable to attacks of any kind . So there is the fourth skill box line , utterly and totally useless .

All four lines offer nothing at all of any use whatsoever . So I fail to see how you can say that there was nothing wrong with the Ranger class ... in fact it's quite the opposite there was nothing RIGHT with it . It was entirely broken from top to bottom and everywhere in between .

At least we can agree on one thing , tho . You guys are completely screwed and you do have my sympathy . I wish they would retool your profession , it sounds God aweful and it's a big blemish on this game . The fact that they won't acknowlede it or fix it is even more inexcuseable .

Hope you guys get some love soon

Jon

What's it say when a Ranger can get a Commando to feel bad for them.

WOW.

I'm glad I don't read other classes forums. YIKES.

At least I'm broke and not, lord what's the word for Rangers?

it seems a lot of the classes are broken, chefs, squad leaders, ect...

one thing that bothers me about becoming a commando is you need to learn unarmed..... for what??? i mean obviosuly we arent no commandos.. more like an engineer(the military king, deal with explosives and such) with a heavy gun.... oh well... i bought swg to be a commando... i just hope after it is fixed im not still disapointed in this class....

Launcher pistol and its pistoleer moves are ok (a part for the AP that MUST be fixed) (for the ones who wine about the pistoleer tree...the launcher pistol is A PISTOL and it must take mods and moves from a profession that masters pistol usage)

the rest..doesn't still work as it would but holocron promised us close fixes...

Short answer:

No
