I just logged into TC to find that all the weps I had before the last patch had been wiped, so I shuttled to a frog to grab some more - and it looks like they all got smacked with a nerfbat.
Notwithstanding the fact that the animations for the proton rifle are STILL not working, I grabbed a new one and examined it.
The damage output has been reduced as with all the weps, but more importantly:-
Now, it is just called a "Proton Rifle," rather than the fancy name it had a couple of days ago.
Skill required is listed as "none" rather than "master commando" and combat level is listed as a mere 54.
Er.......so what gives?? No master level weapon for us now?
I think we were hoping for a commando defining weapon, since the rocket launcher now belies its "extremely distructive" nature by behaving like a CDEF....now this happens?

It is possible that the devs made this a loot prise but I suspect that they just screwed up the game more.
As far as I can tll the last patch that was forced on me was thursday and at thatr time my proton rifle came up missingf a nd I had a new rifle .
It also did not work.
I'm done with this farce.
I am i the process of canvellikng my ROTW and both of my other accounts.
I'll be outta of here in a couple weeks
Thanks for the enjouable time I had arguing i the forums and what not but now the party is over.

Yeah, like I said - they all got smacked with nerfbat. Doesn't explain the specific changes to what is supposed to be a master commando weapon though.

Well thats good, as long as our heavy weapons actualy do heavy damage sometime before launch ill be happy. Hell if they changed the prof to make us still have master marksman as a pre req to justify hvy damage weps id still be happy

The frog weapons are now "average", its easy with good resources to craft weapons better than what they originally were on the frogs...but unfortunately since all damage types seem to come out as "blast" we're forced to use the frogs for now 
. I think this was to test both the high end, and average end of weapons.
As for a name/cert change...if you're encountering one, its a bug...but last night I noticed nothing different with the proton rifle...

Yeah, noticed that last night...plus reported that rifle specials are unsueable with it (heh). However, it still takes Heavy Weapon mods...so this most likely is another cert bug (Seems we're a pain in the arse in that area...lots of non-commandoe weapons are certed to us in the acid tree!)

It might be that the commando-only one ends up being a quest too (presumably from ROTW) with better stats, as I remember seeing some wav files for the proton rifle with _quest_ in the name somewhere.
