Thread: Where is the focus of the commando comunity now?
If you go see that post about how Assault Rifles are carbines(which is wrong) and that if we want an assault weapon..we should pick up carbineer (leaving us 4 skill pts if we master it..all for the sake of an assault weapon..while we can just spend 92 skill points, put the rest in medic or Ch or whatever and be more effective...)
Anyways..apparently..some stupidity crept into the boards with that...
And again anyways...maybe if we do get a revamp..and get restructured..we will get an AR...that would be superbly wonderful...hell just to get one, i would even go as far as to leave it as a high end loot schematic item...just how desperate we need one...Meanwhile Meleers got a new scythe..Rifleman a new rifle (which does Acid dmg....) and soon a NEW rifle (which does heat damage)....only thing going for us right now is blast..and oh wait...Master Pistoleers dabbled for novice commando and took that too... /sigh
Heh..maybe why we have opposition from other classes is that want us to stay the way we are so they can have a easier time dabbling into us or getting new weapons or something..oh i dont know
*eye twitches* i guess im in a bad mood...especially after hearing "pick up carbineer if you want an assault weapon"...but seriously..stuff like that HAS to stop..we are elite..we are commando..we used 169 skill pts...we shouldnt have to dabble or master another proffession to get an assault weapon...and on another note..i just dont see why the devs are so blasted cautious with making us overpowered...for cripe's sake...just implent the new trees (sp hvy weapon, an assault tree for LP/AR) up accuracies..rework hvy weapons...and bring the rest of the proffessions up as well...we ALL need (save for TKA as its already there) to be upped in one way or another..
but then again..thats coming in the combat revamp...maybe why the devs say to wait then...but now its delayed another 2-3 publishes...while we were promised to have some major or at least beneficial fixes in pub 7/8...and with combat revamp...it wont be a revamp that focuses on specific proffessions like Chef or Smuggler...thats what im worried about...we need some serious looking into..not a glazing...
So ends another pointless thought bubble... :/
Edit: Oh and on focus..i think i lost it!!

I agree with this entirely. I got so sick of people saying if you want this take this other profession. Like to use our own weapon we need pistoleer, or if you want defenses take TKA, etc, etc. The thing is, once you go so far in some of these things, you dont need to be a commando at all, so we need more use in commando skills not just a fancy new weapon, but we need that too. I mean sure; we got more points left than BH but we cant take every other profession. I suppose if we really want to have a good blast weapon we need heavy swordsman as well.
The reason if finally started to drop commando is because I tryed about every combination of dabling and mastering other professions with commando just to try to make commando work and all I saw was that commando was what really needed to go. The FT used to be nice in PvE but that even isnt necessary when you master another combat profession that can also do some good PvP as well.
I would like to put in some encouraging words here to get everyone motivated again on focus of getting commando skills up to par but I guess I, and maybee everyone else, are out of ideas or just plain out of breath in this struggle, so I'll just say while Im no longer a commando, I hope everyone who still is gets much love here soon.
Focus right now should be on the Top 5 and the 10 Questions...
I plan on starting new threads soon to focus on each item on our Top 5, adding more detail to each for the devs to read.
