Commando Archive

Ok in each of the dev responses to our correspondent, there is an underlying tone. They answer each problem as if commandos are powerful ALREADY. I find this highly disturbing considering the broken certs, the lack of available weapons and the lack of power in any of those weapons.

In our current state, if all commando weapons worked we would be one of the least DPM producers of all the fighting professions. Does this sound right? Is this what anyone expected of the commando profession?

Please dont read sarcasm into this post, none is intended. It just makes me unhappy that this profession seems to fit into a mold I dubbed "the lost class" across all MMORPGs. Basically the vision of this class was that it would be the heaviest of damage dealers in a larger scale battle. But for whatever reason the devs were unable to balance this class into all fighting situations before launch. Now here we are, watching them try to build this class UP to what it should be. Unfortunately they haven't changed their attitude from the vision of what they wanted to make this class to be, to what it really is.... a very frustrating, underpowered and underdeveloped profession.

InMMO's of the past, a class/profession in this state of affairs rarely ever gets fixed or balanced out right. If so it takes longer than this player can wait (usually a year or more).

This post was not made too flame, but rather as a warning to newer members of the MMO community. If you dont have the patience to wait out a long and bumpy ride that may never end, you might try another profession(s) you were considering.

Best wishes and luck to all die hard commandos who stick with it.
