Commando Archive

Heh.. you're honestly not right in the head if you think purchasing a pistol that does 6K with one shot in PVE is fair, OR not worthy of complaint. A fix is one thing.. like hitting most of the time and hitting for MAYBE 1-2K TOPS.. but one shotting a 12K mob? That's nothing to do with skill or how much time you put in. It's just stupid. The devs screwed the pooch on this one, and you guys are gonna feel it in the end. I wouldn't get too used to those kinda numbers, and if they DON'T change it.. you've just become the Creature Handler Class.. your ranks will swell.

Balanced fix.. heh.. sure.

Please remind some things:

- you have to be **edit** Close to use one of the specials. So.. if you aren't killing that mob with one hit your are out of order for a long time.

- Damage is well in par if you look that a commando cant target specific pools without going into melee range. They have to be the damage dealers.. or we need HAM specific attacks to even out.

Given the numbers are very very well... but atm a BH can easily down a commando with the right tactic.

Problem is... NO one ever had to deal with a really damage dealing commando.

Its all about tactics... use DOTs stay out of the "18" range for specials.. if you let a commando close in that near you have a problem.

We are killable... just learned that hehehe

Use your wits.. and it isnt hard

Guys I do not know if you realize this but the more "Oh i killed in one shot" or oh i owned three people or oh this or that. They are going to nerf bat us right back down to the same crappy class we where before. Be happy say good job developers then go kill people just dont make it to recognized or it will be back to crap again.

lol

you think your word will insue the nef bat?

no it will be everyother person in everyother class that PvP's

You guys can talk all you want on the boards, but expect a change again shortly lol

Keeping it quiet on the boards doesn't effect the devs finding out about what we're doing. This is more for them to guage the feelings/opinions of the community. That being the case, what will cause a nerf to us is the other professions complaining about us 1 shot killing them and causing XX amount of wounds.. etc

I feel for you guys, months of neglect, you finally get some love, and instantly the cries of NERF!!!

We all think nerf right off the bat; but, lets try to be a little optimistic here. I think the combat classes are they way they should be. Pistoleers/Carbineers/Riflemen should get owned by BHs and Commandos. Its only fair. It takes no time to get to Novice Pistoleer, yet they were the most popular (and overpowered) class in the game, pre-patch. Novice Commando is probably the toughest class to obtain and Novice BH is probably the 2nd toughest and the most time consuming. People who took the time to become master marksmen, unarmed specialist and master scouts should be able to reap the benefits. Not get owned by some 15 year old who put two days into the game, is a Pistoleer and could spam KD on you all day long while sicking his Cu Pa on you.

If you want to own in PvP put in the time and energy BHs and Commandos did to get as powerful as they did. Master the Marksmen tree, become an unarmed specialist, master the scout tree, grind out that 40K combat XP. Don't spend 2 days runningand gunning in newbie-land, getting Novice Pistoleer and expect to be uber. Pistoleer is meant to be combined with other professions (medic, CH, Ranger) that's why it takes so little time and so little skill points.

I believe that there is more balance among the combat professions, with this patch then there ever has been. There still needs to be some tweaks to the combat classes, but, I think the devs should concentrate their efforts on the other broken classes like DE, BE and SL.

That's my 2 cents.

Soon to be Novice BH and Novice Ranger

Hard to be optimistic when every 3rd post on the Discussion forum is a whine to nerf commandos. People only see what they want to see, and that is the damage numbers. They don't take into account the skill points to get to Master Commando, the high costs of the weapons (money, HAM, etc), or how slow some of the weapons actually fire.

*sigh* I'm afraid we're already doomed by the whiny population before we have a chance to even start...

No kidding, this is truly sad. I haven't even had a chance to log on today and start hunting down post-patch weapons and already there's numerous trolls screaming NERF! Truly sad. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on some of these before the Treasure Trolls win again.

ive got to work all day today (24 hours) so i wont be able to play today with the new patch. . .i have a horrible feeling in my stomoch that i wont be able to play with those stats tomorrow either. . . people whine too much, and because of that i do feel a nerf is coming. . .

well, I just made a new BH LLC and it is much nicer than the commando heavy acid rifle, it is faster 4.8, has AP light and does more dmg. So are they up in arms over that yet?

Oh yeah, BHs have been the favorite target of Pistoleers since day 1. They have been none too happy that BHs have better pistol skills and now a weapon that can do 10K of damage on one hit (LLC 4 with a special). Sorry kiddies, you'll have to actually invest some time and effort into building a powerful character.
