Commando Archive

These post are a real turn-off to me. Is commando ever getting fixed?

I've mastered scout, pistoleer, medic, doctor, and swordsman and i'm bored again. Think the way of a commando will keep me busy?

Will it get fixed sometime this month or next?

just turn around and walk away.....and dont look back.

ask your self a few questions

A) do I like it when I throw a grenade and it does more damage to me (from Ham costs)then it does to the target on the off chance I hit? (this is working as intended apparently...)

B) do I like to work up the unarmed tree for no other reason then to have unarmed 4? (the logic behind this of 'armies train soldiers in hand to hand' makes me wonder why the combat medic doesn't need unarmed 4 isn't he a soldier too?)

C) do I like getting certified in a weapon that is crappier then the weapons I used to get said certifications? (sliced dlt20a rifles being bettter then acid rifle for instance or fwg5's being better then launcher pistol)

D) do I like the idea of having to take a 2nd elite profession to make the 1st elite profession I choose "work" (pistoleer for specials-granted you don't NEED to take pistoleer but if you want to get hvy weapon xps then get used to using the launcher pistol)

E) do I like beta testing a class that has been broken for 2 months but has recieved one fix-launcher pistols doing hvy weapon xps. while the t-21 rifle was "hot fixed" 3 times in 3 days. hey they nerfed NOOB MELONS but the commando is working as intended...LAFF actual quotes below:

Heavy Weapon Stats – The stats for the heavy weapons is hampering the profession, with 0 ideal range, severely unbalanced range mods, and apparent lack of accuracy in these weapons.

These are meant to be extreme close range weapons.

F) do I want to play the class where the guy picked to be the "go-to-guy" for the devs/commando relations quits playing the game? (this is the one thing that bothers me the most. the guy picked to be OUR rep to the devs quits playing the game. because of the lack of response...)

if you want to be an underdog waiting for "the patch that fixes this" the jump on board another voice crying out for "FIX" can't hurt the cause

ok, anyone have any positive thoughts on the commando profession? it has potential later on as i see it. Beats being master whatever professions and doing endless deeds to open a jedi slot that ain't in game yet as i've been doing. Thoughts?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I doubt you will find any commando that feels differently from the 2 responses you already got. =/

Well im going for commando and i have pretty much same stuff you have with the addition of CH, and im doing it because my PA needs one and also because i have hope that one day commando will be fixed and will be a viable class.. and while im waiting on that to happen i can continue using my pets or pistoleer or anything really... i guess im just getting commando with hopes that it will be fixed shortly after i get a few boxes in the tree.

hehe I'm a glutton for punishment (I was a Master BE) so I'm gonna try commando too.

now if I can just find a way to get good unarmed exp...

Well the weapons look cool...

We do have some cool special effects. And me can make lag like nobody's business.

Truthfully, the only good thing about this class is its potential to be so much better.

this is making me sad .. almost ANY time someone comes in here asking about the commando profession all they get is doom and gloom and bad news from people posting how much it sucks and how much it cant compete with any other class.. i have this to say..

i just picked up commando about 3 days ago and i am having an absolute BLAST..

i cant think of any other class where i've had this much fun.. just the sheer fact that you can use a little gun that shoots giant rockets is just hilarious.. granted, im still using some of my expert bh skills until i can slowly unlearn them and move up to master commando, im confident that the base fun isnt going to go away.. all i need now is to find a flamethrower and an acide rifle i can fiddle around with ... unfortunately im on rori grindin out leviasqualls, so that may not be everyone's idea of fun and i understand that...i have a heavy proton cannon and a heavy acid rifle i got from jabba's missions and whiel im not certified and they only do about 8 damage, theyre super fun to bust out, shoulder, and fire every once and again.. the grenades are fun to use too.. tho i dont have certification for those either.. ive got some cryoban grenades ill get certification for in about one more half hour's worth of play so ill be able to use those..

the class's biggest draw now is the fact that they DO absolutely suck, and to me, that's why theyre fun to play...you get the neatest weapons and they do the worst dmg.. if you want to have fun killing slowly but with huge fireworks, the commando is just up your ally.. nothing says dedicated and skilled player like master commando over your head.. id have more respect for that guy than any bounty hunter i see..

Deciding to take up commando, drop master swordsman slowly. I'm also a master doc so no big deal. Can drop doc when they fix the class. Till then it will be fun to use while I'm standing in the back waiting for someone to die so i can rez them on guild raids. Wee.

Tried the pistol today...Nice effects. loved it.

Can't wait to get some pistoleer skills on top of commando while i wait for a fix (i was a master pistoleer before a master swordsman). I got the strat all down!

1) launch rocket, lag enemies till they stop in their tracks (Moenia leaf effect here!)

2) equip pistol

3) kill enemies while they are lagged
