OK heheh Im going to do a lil ranting till they bring us some solid info other then a drewl mark.
I read that Garvin has realy high hopes for us. Yay on that one. Now I know you should not read to much into what people say but.... Knowing how they have said theyd help us before and that we are to be addressed most of all in the CR then get screwd. He did say that the one guy said that we have 3 broken trees and The FT is not working like it was meant to. I know you said that they want to make us not just FT guys and give us so that we actualy use are other wepons. With that being said. Are they going to nerf the hell out of the FT again once the CR hits so it falls in line with our other wepons or make the other ones up to par? Im really having fears that by them saying that they may do something drastic to the FT making it as useless as the Har or taking away the only thing we have left.
Some info or any thing that any one finds out that may prove other wise please let me know!

The flamethrower is scheduled for NO NERF in the Combat Revamp...just the opposite...I think with the new HAM system going in, we have a strong possibility of seeing it's DoT increased...The programmers I spoke with (sober even) agreed it sounded like a good possibility and that our arguement for it was fully justified...
Repeat...NO NERF for our FT (and I know specifics people)...instead, plenty of love all around...

I wouldnt worry about stuff like that dude, every time im worried i look at how powerful combat medics are, and think, commandos should be just as powerful seeing as we have to go through just as much crap to get our master, and infact even more so as we dont have the built in advantages of a medic.
the devs would have to be a bit crazy not to see that we are less powerful then most elites, let alone other hybird professions, which should be more powerful by definition due to their higher skill cost. I have no fear whatsoever over us becoming alot more powerful, my only worry is when

Skeptic, I have some concerns but the way I figure it is this: We can't possibly get any worse for Commando, right? I only see improvement for us in the future.
Heheh, I recall a month ago on Lok I was playing around with my HAR and this guy asked me to demonstrate the FT for him. Found some mercenaries and did my thing. All he said was,"Man, I can't wait to see you guys get un-nerfed."
My feeling still is that I'm in the "gutter" right now for Commando. But I can only look up and somehow get out of the mess as a better Commando. And not another profession/bailing out.
"If they can be fooled, they can be killed."

Please don't say this, every time someone does, it gets worse.

Well.... when you think about it, theres really no negativity in the news garvin has brought us. take a look at the underlying picture. the devs didnt have a friendly get together to discuss how to make jedi better, or how to make improvements to JTL. The meeting primarily revolved around the combat revamp, and what really needs fixing. this indicates a few things to me:
remember a few months ago, after we incessantly pestered TH about the revamp, and he told us it wouldnt be out till after JTL? people started quitting in droves, which may have sent our message slamming home. Now we see an assembly discussion about quickfixes for combat, and complete overhauls. remember, garvin stated 2 of our top five might be addressed in patches even before the rebalance. it seems that theyre in more of a hurry to get this done, not for any kind of business deadline, but because of the player loss they will experience if they dont.
these are good things, right?

I took MANY pictures of Panthu...the real question is which ones I'll share...Panthu represented the Dancer Community VERY well...
All of the late night Summit festivities took place in Panthu's Cantina...err...Hotel Room...Even many Devs found there way there each night (and before you ask...we have pictures of them too)...

wow remind me to smack warmaker. Last time we said that we got the 2.5 melee thing. I cant remember which order it came but first Our Dots were nerfed and the commando community went egads what the hell? Cant get any worse can it? THen they took away Dot stacking. Again I say What the heck are they thinking. And then they say there are to many kitings lets put this 2,5x accuracy mod to melee against ranged wepons even commando that has to use there specials in Melee range. Then after all this we are all beat down and ready to give up and they say welp people are using to many wepons and such lets nerf the time between armor and umm wepon swaping. so now we have many commandos that have mastered another profession to help it out such as TKM which we have a Unarmed pre req for any way so that we can flame them and go unarmed so they dont woop us in melee range. Or we knock them down then set them on fire. Now 9 times out of 10 once we swap to the FT they all ready stand up or we die from the melee damage cuz it takes like 15 to 20 seconds to swap to hand to hand after a special!
