Commando Archive

I bought my first launcher pistol from a bazaar about a week ago, i knew it wasn't player crafted because it only had a max dmg of 94. and a spd of 4.1. So i decided to try it out anyway and although i was expecting it to be sucky, i didn't expect it to only give pistol xp. I then sold it a day later and tryed to search far and wide for a master weaponsmith that is making LP's. Only to find every one of them turn me down saying that the ore required to make them ISN'T AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN THE GALAXY! I mean, how do you forget to put a certain requirement nessesary to a whole profession in. I know i may seem a bit whiny, but after 2 weeks straight and NO progression through any of the commando trees i am beginning to lose a little patience. I believe this should be a high priority to fix for the devs. Since my search has turned up with nothing but failure for finding a useful LP, i have retested my theory that NPC LP's grant only pistol xp, and have a horrible max dmg/spd rating.

so what exactly is broken? all i get out of that is a bunch of weaponsmiths on your server dont know how to get low grade ore? dolovite iron is the only rare enough resource for the launcher pistol. if it isnt on your server, and all your weaponsmiths are too dumb to stockpile it, then you have to wait it out.

thats no bug thats the way it works.

Haven't been reading our upcoming fixes, I see?

well considering that for 2 years now the devs have been saying the best items will be crafted by players i wouldnt complain about the npc launcher pistols being sucky. i dont know about your weaponsmiths but ive never had trouble finding a launcher pistol but maybe its just like that on my server.

Perhaps he restarted a Commando on Shadowfire. Since our server has NOT had a resource shift Dolovite Iron isn't available, never has been. So its definitely a bug.

Yes, some servers have NOT had some resource types at all. (I.E. Starsider has not been able to make 3PO protocol droids because the ore has NEVER been available.) Starsider is finally able to make DX2's last resource reset. Before that the best pistol you could get was an FWG5/Scout Blaster, best carbine was E11, and best rifle was DLT20a.

I have difficulty finding a Launcher Pistol on Sunrunner because people don't want to make them. I know of one person who does make them, but he always sells out because &^%$^^ pistoleers buy them thinking they can use them, then place them on auction on the bazaar for 3k (so you can't buy them because bazaar won't let you bid more than 3k) and since they don't sell they destroy them.
