Commando Archive

I felt we were a tank class much like TKE a melee class, after all we do need unarmed to become commando. My main weapon the FT is used at melee range. This is basicaly the commando weapon of choice by design after all we do have an entire tree devoted to it. The acid rifle which is our other main weapon is out od reach at this point due to the fact that the entire tree is broken and still is not a distance weapon. my basic question is who are the tanks? all melee classes are messed up according to the forums.

I thought was great where it was. It needed tweaking (like every other class) we did not need to be dealing out 2.5x damage on ranged attackers and our flame dot could have been tomed down a bit. The path you have chosen has crippled the commando and made it unplayable.

We carry weapons that only work effectivly at melee range and now you are penelizing us for using them. I went ingame tonight to try and figure out how we could be effective as a combat class. The conclusion is we can't I have to use nothing but marksmen skills if I have any chance of surviving longer than 60 sec. This is rediculous I cannot hit a target at 65m yet i am getting treated as I can. I can hit a target at 30m away ( with very little accuracy) but I pay dearly for it (as in death) because I am using the weapon I'm trained in.

My class is now unplayable to me unless I have a CH with me. I have a CH on one server I don't need anouther one. I was actually taken down by a rill on Tat this is sad I beat these things with a newb cdef pistol fresh off the ship and now i'm holding a heavy weapon i'm traned touse and they can drop me like nothing(see a prob here).

The commando is an elite combat class yet you have made us a support class who needs a CH or a TKE just to stand in a fight with a rill. I guess i was under the impression we where a strong combat class like BH. I was mistaken because currently my commando can not fight a newb creature simply using commando weapons i'm trained in.

My subscription runs out in about a week. This is my firs MMORG and I have truly enjoyed it, but this has taken the fun out of the game for me. I am now actually wealer than the day i started. I truly hope the devs go online and try to fight a MOB that cons blue with commando weapons only and see what happens.

sorry for the rant and I hope my fellow commandos can get behind me.

Thanks

P.S. get behind our correspondent he needs our help now more than ever

Be ready for the newbs that will come out and flame you telling you to learn some tactics. I feel your pain and you are absolutely correct. Tactics and strategy can be used to take down the big game (even after the patch) but it shouldn't be needed against Rills (anymore than we used tactics when we first started). Best I can say is hang in there.....MasterSynn is a hell of a Coord and he is working his butt off to get this taken care of. Meanwhile....as much as I hate to say it.....pick up at least 1 1 0 0 CH. The GSPs/Grands are all you need to take down anything at least until the incoming nerf.

I expect to get flamed everytime i post but i have a CH on a server and i have a commando because i felt he would be a viable choice as a combat non CH I love both Charecters and i feel they both have there place but i haveno desir to combine the two i felt we were a tank class when i started my commando and still feel we are (hoping this nerf is a mistake) I appreciate your reply and commend you on working hard for the class Spank, If u need any help testing thos combat skills send mea PM

I feel your pain. This patch has taken a lot of the fun out of the game for me. I worked hard to be a commando, and was finally feeling like, hey, all that work was for something worthwhile. I thought that with this patch, Rocket Launchers would finally be available on my server (they are) and now i can really be the commando I imagined when i first read the spec. But for the first time yesterday i actually though about giving the game up. I mean,i now shy away from the dark blue's that iused to laugh and walk through. I group with a novice marksman and have to be healed from incapitation becasue io decided to try to handle some dark blueaxe-weilding maulers. I'm saying, dark blue! A freaking flesh eating chuba hit me for ike 300 health yesterday. I almost ran from a freakin flesheating chuba, is what im saying, because i missed with the ft and couldn't shoot with my launcher pistol for the cooldown duration.A Chuba!!!

So go Ch, they say, have acreature tank for you, they say, and i see why... Not knowcking any of you ch's out there, there are a lot of really cool animals and ch's that i've grouped with , butI lightweight refuse to be a Ch because everybody and their momma is a CH, and it really doesn't fit my character's profile (forgive me for roleplaying and wantingto be semi-original). Not only that, on the cusp of becoming a commando i had mastered marksman, Scout, and unrmed trees and decided not to become a BH and gave the stuff up. This coupled with the "You Need Master Brawler" and "You need Engineering 4" to be a commando garbage that i wasted my first month working on makes me really reluctant to climb back up the already ditched hunting tree. So what can i do? Stay commando, get beat down by small woodland creatures, or tdo the other stuff, the alternative: ditch commando, go tk, go bh, go ch, go pistoleer, go smuggler, go anything, anything except what I wanted to do when i first opened the box and saw the Schwatznewggar esque profile staring back at me, telling me in small mental whispers that this is who i had to be.

For now, i'll stay, but hope this gets fixed soon
