Commando Archive

Squad Leaders DEFINATELY needed an overhaul. Easily one of the most broken and pointless professions post-CU.

I'm very glad to see they're getting some help, and it gives me hope that one day the Commandos will get similar attention.

Just ask an SL or check our forums. Some mixed reactions there and I dont claim to know what's best. For myself, I dont think we needed a whole revamp, just some tweaks and changes to a few abilities. I kind of expected Commandos and Rangers to get revamped first since as they stand now they're actualy handycapped.

One thing I can say is, be carefull what you wish for. I had expected that they would change form up and boost moral to somthing aplicable and tweak the timers and numbers on the other stuff. Now, it's going to be a whole new profession that realy doesnt fit what we are, but oh well. Anyway, keep up the good work on posting feedback and ideas in the hope that they take shape.

SL deserve the love, so you can't begrudge them their fix. Why would you want to complain about things getting fixed?

If Rangers get fixed next, that'll be great too, because it means the devs are looking at the broken profs and not just concentrating on the Jedi or BH.

We might not be at the top of the list (although we should be waaay up there!) but it gives me hope commando will get fixed soon.

Commandos aren't so bad - with the right template a Mcommando is easily the best pvp player around (as long as their Aoe attacks get fixed properly), and I am glad for this SL revamp too! Still aren't considering playing as a SL, but now I would consider grouping with one at least, so far entertainers Creture handlers and SLs have had their revamps, I hope next come rangers and then maybe fencers and then possibly commandos.

IMO Commandos don't really havy any right to complain yet as there are many less fortunate than them

Other than offering next to nothing to the person playing as a squad leader, and being a less than stellar hybrid elite since launch, no, absolutely nothing. The treatment Squad Leaders have recieved previous to this coming patch makes commando look like we've bathed in the glow of developer attention, hogging the spotlight. The only profession I know of with a larger *legitimate*beef than Squad Leader, is perhaps Ranger.

I too long for our problems to be adressed. I toowould like to see my profession be able to get beyond it's current state of pitiful damageoutput, lack of adefined combat role, failure to accomodate melee templatecrossoverand a completely worthless skill line soaking up skill points (no, not the pre reqs, I mean grenades). At the same time, however, I do recognize that others have never had their day in the sun, not at any point. I certainly don't begrudge them their due. Seeing a Squad Leader revamp does my heart good. It's when I see yet another Jedi/Bounty Hunter change/improvement heavy patch that my blood boils.

Give the Squad Leaders a break. They deserve this, and it is very badly needed.

As a long time SL and a longer time Commando I just need to say this: Do some research before you start making "observations"... "is there any major poblems with that profession that we know of?"... where do I start... Perhaps you need to visit the SL boards for some perspective. There is a reason we placed dead last in the poll of "most played professions".
