Commando Archive

Correct me if im wrong guys our biggest complaint is our weapons right... they are supposed to be powerful and effective and they suck...

This is my biggest complaint when it comes to this broken profession.. no range modifiers no real armor piercing ability.and the speed is so slow who cares if it was the most damaging if you cant use it but once every 15 seconds

Pretty much.

It was fun going up marksman, getting body shot1, woohoo, body shot2, wooohooo, and so on.

Then I get commando. Saved up a ton of grenades, so i try them out. Whats this? Hurts me more to throw then it deals in damage? 10 second delay? Good thing i didn't buy that crate of 50. Thenrun out and spend 40k on weapons. Equip the HAR, and it says i don't have cert. Log off thinking it was a bug, log back on and it was not in my inventory anymore. Use the flamethrower, misss, miss, miss, miss, hit for 250, miss, miss, miss, miss. Then I go prone, and see hit, hit, hit, miss, hit, hit. I think, wooohoo, I figured it out. Use the laucher pistol, and get pistol exp? Back to flamethrower, but how boring. sloooww exp.Switch to rifleman, get a good laser rifle. Next day, laser rifle is gone, and HAR is back, wooohoo. Decide to work on pistol, get a good FWG5, next day, pistol is gone, rifle is back. ok, im getting annoyed. fix comes in on LP, so I go buy another, since the first dissappeared. and try it out. nice xp, ok damage, so grind up to get flame 1. woohoo, good thing i decided to go rifleman so I can get myself out of tough situations. HAR is fixed, wooohooo, no armor piercing, put it back in backpack since no one wants to buy it.

yes, I am just complaining. Yes, sometimes I have fun in the game, but sometimes its frustrating. No, i don't want to be a artisan, entertainer, bounty hunter, or pistoleer. Thanks for reading

hehehe, monkeys are cool

I am getting great exp w launcher pistol

My biggest, and right now only complaint is that we have no idea about what our role should be. The "majority" opinion on these forums is being the "vulnerable, high damage dealer" with a small subset of people that know much about class balance claiming that we should be "high damage dealers, with high defensive mods."

The former is a fair guess. The latter is probably made by people that never played MMORPGs.

The fact remains, though, that we dont know what we are supposed to do. Its hard to offer suggestions on how to fix the class, without knowing their intention. Originally, I thought that we were going to be the "dmg dealing but vulnerable" profession due to our lack of defensive mods. I am beginning to question that because of the recent changes they made to our weapons.

After seeing the stuff on the test center, I started to think that we were being shaped to be "versitile" fighters, in that our primary weapons, flamethrower and acid rifle were our normal use weapons when soloing or doing basic faction grinding, and our cannons would allow us to fight in different groups.

Right now, a group of rifleman do not want a pistoleer. The pistoleer would not do much good. They woudnt speed up the death of the critter. If we had the ability to attack all pools effectively, at a price of the items being charged (but powerful), well that would be "a" role. It may not be one many of us would like, but at least we would know.

As it stands, we dont know what we are supposed to do. We have people that think our launcher pistol is our "main weapon" and should be upgraded. We have people that think our launcher pistol should be phased out of teh pistoleer tree. We have people that think our launcher pistol should be moved higher up the tree. No one can say anyones suggestion has any more merit than the other, simply because we do not know our role.

Tell us our role, and we can make suggestions to fit the role. Right now, our community is a bunch of whiney crybabies that each think their opinion should be the correct version of the class. An official determination on this, will do the most help.
