WARNING: Random rambling


Ok, I realize that the devs are super busy right now with all the profession revamps (Jedi, Smugglers, and Squad leaders), the combat rebalance, the new jedi quest, and jump to light speed, so this ismore for me to express myself rather thana demand or expectation for changes. With that said, I was watching the new JTL trailer, and thinking how cool it looked with all the blaster fire going (and the classic score in the background:smileywink, and then it struck me that commandoes would only make things look off if they had been in that sequence. Of our three main weapons, one shoots a ball of fire, one shoots a ball of acid (better then before, but still not right), and one shoots a stream of rockets.


Given that the only the flamethrower has any secondary effect (the DOT), I was thinking that it might help for commandoes to be more immersive if our weapons had effects more like everything else in the star wars universe. Maybe the flamethrower and HAR models could be changed to be smaller, more like other star wars weapons.The flamethrower could be changed to shooting big (in terms of diameter) red boltsand the HAR to shooting big green bolts, and the LP could be changed to be shooting four blue bolts at once (similar to the scatter pistols animation). Also,maybe the sound effects for the flamethrower and the LP could be changed tosounds similar to other energy weapons, but with more bass to reflect their heavy weapons nature. The flamethrower fire DOT could be explained by the highenergy of the blastcausing fires.


This is probably just abunch of wishful thinking, andIimagine some people will disagree, but whatever, those are my random thoughts for the day.



Ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a rocket launcher in your backpack.

I'd definately have to agree. Ever since I picked up the profession in October, my one big gripe has been a lack of weapons with a Star Wars feel, which is why I personally want to see an Assault Rifle added that we'd use on a regular basis, as those are seen several times in the films.


In terms of cannon weaponry, this is the no. 1 reason I absolutely abhor the HAR.

Maybe we can start by doing away with this mandalorian bull **edit** and starting to identify yourselves with your own unique aspects of game play, including armor.


Your whining to get that armor makes me sick, and whats worse it makes me sick that the developers catered to your whining.


Stop and think next time. Before asking to be PART of Star Wars, let's get thisGAME like Star Wars first.

Um no. I don't think anyone here even whined for it, it just happened.


Now go away and go back to trolling the jedi boards, or whatever it is you do. This topic has absolutely nothing to do with Mandalorian Armor and your pathetic attempt at derailing this thread is rather irksome.

Weird, where did that come from?


I think you somehow misinterpreted the post (drasticly). If you have any constructive comments or questions please post and we will be more than willing to help. The commando forum is very much comprised of very serious and informed group of players. We have been helping each other for almost a year now, and will continue to do so. Thank you for taking the time to come into our forums. We look forward to hearing from you soon.


I believe the original post has some valid points that we welcome here. Also, if you would like to know more about Mando armor (which I believe has nothing to do with this post) please read many of our other posts, or just ask. Once again, we would be happy to talk to you and inform you on the true origins of this armor. I learned A LOT, from my fellow commandos about this armor.

Ok, I saw what that person posted earlier about the armor and decided not to respons. Lets continue to take the high road. I just wanted to mention that and say nice, freindly responses from the people who did respond.

Yea, I would love to see this get implimented. After a while, our effects get lame, laggy, and just plain noisy/loud... Launcher pistol should have the multi-ble bolts, and very small but noticable pops or mini explosions on impact.


Flamethrower? Sure why not. Im not a fan of that mystical orb of flame that stays level.

HAR? Yea that would be cool



as for the troll...




Commandos got the cert for mandalorian armor! Horaah!! Now we can finaly be usefull!!...... wait..


Ignoramus! We didn't beg for the armor cert! We would much rather have our bugs and useless weapons and trees fixed than get a set of armor very few will have.



We got our bone? explain that one to me. Your obviously some one who has never played the commando proffesion. If you have, you obviously didnt keep it long ( hmm.. does that tell you something ? ). Please, Id love to know what we got so that we have to "wait our turn" because I obviously missed out on something big!



trolls these days, cant even partialy make sense..

Why is it people named Panzer seem to bear bad ilk here...ahh well


Only the BH's whined for mando armour Sam--R--I


and the whole community agrees with them...but when it was brought up that mando armour would finally come..since mandalorians were SUPERCommandos....we wanted to make sure the devs werent gonna pull a fast one on us...



And you're trolling on a board thats totally irrelevant to mando armour is revolting...for heavens sake, dont you know that Commando STILL lacks purpose..and putting a More Star wars feel would be wonderful to implent while making us right again? (its been a year nearly...we still have the same problems from beta)


You're the only one whining..whining over people who are NOT whining...

Bleagh, I need to find that text thingie I got off the MEO forums that had a little man holding a sign that says "Don't feed the trolls." Ignroing them is really the best way to put an end to their rants (Yeah, I know I should have taken my own advice, but oh well...)

LOL, I know. We have been waiting for a long time. I'm just glad Garvin andthe commando community have come together to help each other out.


Thank you for posting, we look forward to hearing from you soon.


BTW, what profession are you, or are you planning to be? Just curious, because maybe we could help you out with a few tips.
