I just got the game about a week ago...so there has been quite a learning curve for me and I'm still an admitted NEWB!
Anyway, ever since online competition/playing have been around, I have always enjoyed picking the "Less Common" style and chosen the tough road. After spending more hours investigating and playing this game then I spend at work, I am almost to the conclusion that my goal should be Commando.
I believe Commando meets my play stlye, personality, and desire to excell at being one of the less popular/easy paths one can take (Everyone I meet want's to be a friggin Bounty Hunter!).
A couple other paths seem attractive as well.
So...my question to you guys is..."Being a Commando; How do you feel about your decision?,Has it been rewarding during gameplay?, What kind of things does a Commando do on a common session of gameplay?"
Most importantly...WHAT the heck do you Commados do in the game?
Many Thanks,
BravenIrish
hehe! Little did I know I took a path of pride and many sad days! I made Novice that night and never looked back or questioned my destiny as a Commando. I'm gonna answer me from almost a year ago!
"Being a Commando; How do you feel about your decision?"
I feel great! It's been tough many times, I'm ineffective many times, and several times I almost cry because I just can't compete. BUT the community here is the absolute best! You'll find great support here. In Game, it has been a tough road, and you'll find that out. But if you hang in there...like it did, rewards will surely follow!
"Has it been rewarding during gameplay?"
Yes! I love the BOOM and many do as well. My HPBC shots look cool and sometimes they hit for great damage. My Protons look cool and when they hit people are amazed. Of course our staple FT is pretty nice. Sadly, if you choose the Commando path, you'll eventually learn that despite the SP you invest...you will not get as many cheers or admiration as other professions. Despite that, I has been rewarding! Better things are to come our way!
"What kind of things does a Commando do on a common session of gameplay?"
That really depends...We are pretty good at Faction Missions and they pay well. I usually try to group with others and hunt. As of now, you'll just be a tag along in the cooler places like the Death Watch Bunker. My advise to you is to bank some credits, go on hunts, do the dungeons, have fun, do your best, and have those credits ready for the cloning center!
"Most importantly...WHAT the heck do you Commados do in the game?"
Die a lot! Hehehe! Not really...but close. You'll grow to hate the LP and many trees. What we do right now is kinda support the Melee guys. We used to be able to fight the GCW, which I've done, but sadly we can't PVP at all. It's tough. I mostly get buffed and help with Dantooine or Dath hunts...just remember to clone and insure!
Wow...one year with you Crazy Commandos! I've got grey hairs now because of all these issues an I'm a skitzo and he is as well, and he, and Braven...LOL! Back to the Future eh? If I was there back then, I would never change the direction I took. I love you guys!
