Commando Archive

What is the official design and purpose of the Commando class?

Nobody knows that. We assume many things, but still no one knows.

The only official statement we've had lately is that our damage output is what they want.

And even then we question if they are aware of the melee issue.

Mastersynn is trying to open a dialog with the Devs.

The report puts forth problems and questions.

If they answer all of our questions we will have a better understanding of exactly what this class is supposed to be.

We can all agree that getting an answer to the questions/problems put forth will make for a better thing.

Can't we all just get along and enjoy being able to play?

he probably had a rifle on. It's a bug that they need to fix. The game views heavy weapons and melee weapons and we hit riflemen 3x as hard as we should. I don't know why it does this I haven't used my flame thrower like aclub since the patch.

We exist solely to help others who need our kind of firepower...

I came to realize this when on three seperate occasions, I was asked to help someone with a destroy mission, and faction missions. One commando instead of three buddies, means a bigger share of cash, and that is about what we do.

Being able to achieve level 25 faction missions and Level 50 destroy missions, means people will want us arround for higher payoffs and better loot.

So cheers commandos, we have become combat tour guides

And to be honest, I am enjoying the need for us on dangerous planets now

Your message is on target. My biggest problem right now is that a lot of what we're asking for does not jive with the way the game is setup. There is too much 'realism' talk, not enough 'how the game works' talk.

I think we'd be a lot better off if everyone went to this site and considered all skill points, mods, specials..etc before asking for change. We need to be taking into consideration the way the game works, just like the devs are doing if we want to approach the devs about anything. Otherwise we're talking two different languages and spinning our wheels, or even worse, unintentionally asking to be nerfed.

I agree! Since the patch, ive had a blast playing the game.

I also looked forward to reading the forums, for the latest in info and advancements of our great profession. However lately it seems like its just a big soap opera, and its getting ridiculous. I think we all need to calm down, smell the flowers, and enjoy the current state of the game. Continue reporting bugs, and state opinions, but leave the nerf flame war alone.

Agreed, it sorta sucked to have to ditch prepatch weapons, but whatever, for the damge of a good-great flamethrower and acid rifle, it's been worth the cash. My only questions are this, if you don't chose a faction, what do we do, run around endor, yavin, dathomir, lok and dantooine running destroy missions? And the second has next to nothing to do with our class, but , when will the stats of any gun actually approach the max damage they actually do, there seems to be a %age over the max listed that comes out, for instance a dlt20a listed at 350 max seems to do upto 475-550 without doing a special shot, and I've had similar results with rifleman and commando weapons. Anyone else had this?

I'm tempted to state stats on my weapon in question I'm curious about, but don't want to get nerfed again

BTW, just commando 1-2-1-2 right now, but on pace for 4-4-4-4 by end of next month with good hunting trips to krayts, endor, yavin and lok (dragons are fun, as long as ATSTs don't show up)

all weapons have that -shrugs- dont know why.

using flamethrower single shot (special#1) say against a Tusken Chief, what kind of damage do you get. The tuskens seem to have negative or no protection to fire. I special shot one for 7950 last night, any similar hits?
