Commando Archive

So right now we need some short term fixes, personally I would like to see the HAR be made AP2 or AP3and the Flamer at least made AP1 or AP2. At least this would allow commandos to be useful again until the Combat Upgrade is implemented. I know that hints have been dropped that after the CU armor piercing won't be a problem. But that is how far down the road? Our problems are in the here and now. We need some small quick fixes at this point in time not more stealth nerfs.

OK, although I agree ith you, to be perfectly honest I don't see this happening. Why, well because the sandbox is going live within the next few weeks and the holidays are among us. Since SOE has said that all effort will be put into making the CU a success, they cannot afford to spare one or more people to make temporary fixes.

So if we are not usefull now, the cold hard truth is that we will continue to be so until after the CU, not before, and not during. Sorry, but we must accept this. Its a take it or leave it situation. If you can hamg on until beta or til after the CU, then great. If you cannot wait and need an immediate fix, you'd better leave. Plain and simple.

I like this profession, its the first elite/hybrid profession I've mastered. Its the only profession that I've the most desire to do after seeing the profession list in the manual whenI bought the game. If I pick up a second elite profession I want it to compliment the commando skills, not be better than the commando skills.

I love this profession too. I've been here since beta 1, and I'm gonna wait til CU beta (if I am fortunate enough to get in) and for the completion of the CU. It sounds like some of the things they have planned will make this game fun once again, at least for me. I hope as many of us Commandos can get into the CU beta to help make it what it needs to be.

Oh, and as far as AP is concerned, pretend it does not exist. It makes it eaiser. That might actually be a great combat upgrade, just get rid of AP completely.

MY T21's and DRX-6B's hate you for this..... My flamethrower loves it, but I was a rifleman first, and have spent millionson them, Most where custom made. I can only have nightmares if ap no longer becomes an issue, if rifleman don't get defense to help them stay alive. We live and die by our ap.

First of all we are in the Commando forum, and I think it would be great for us Commandos.But it could be a benefit to all professions if wethink of it this way: Imagine no weapon has ap, then think Commandos are really made into HEAVY weapons specialists (meaning that our weapons actually do cause tons of damage, more than they do now, and that we are the one profession able to deal out this much damage) then throw in some better defenses and now we are talking about getting somewhere.

Also, wouldn't it be great if you could use your rifleman skills with your commando weapons? Could actually make a great template, and something fun.

Another thing that I think we are completely forgetting about it content. This game as a whole will not get too much funner if we do not incorporate CONTENT. If the CU goes perfectly, lol, we will still be complaining for another year, because there is no content to use our skills on. In general this game needs the CU, GCWU, Smuggler Revamp, other profession revamps, expansion for planets such as Hoth, etc. and a huge push to create a ton of CONTENT.

Anyway, that's what I think.

Hellshot, I'll do my best to bite my tonge, butI was told by said person in a private conversation thatI was free to do whatI please with the information. So far said person has not told me to stop. But out of respect to that person, I will not say ANYTHING further, untill I once again get their ok. If I misunderstood that, then I apologise, and will cease immediately.

Good enough?

Said person did not answer any questions over dinner with concrete answers...only allowed Johbo to speculate about possible answers and re-reviewed hints that have been shared with everyone in this forum, including a very important one which has been said over and over "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT AP"...They mostly talked about possible future directions of how Commandos could go and what they'd like to see out of a Melee/Ranged hybrid profession...

Speculation is a good thing...sometimes the speculations are on track and sometimes they are way off track...to get the answers, people need to get themselves into Beta...

In the meantime I actually encourage speculation...but remember, I'm not the only hinter out there...there is a lot of good hints out there that can easily be found...putting the peices together can help draw a pretty nice picture of the direction the CU is going...the most important details though will need to have the CU docs to figure out...
