Was browsing the forums, reading all the petitions regarding the solo group nerf...
IF, after the CU, the weapons of the Commando do become viable, it is my humble opinion that Commandos are going to be hardest hit by this.
To wit...
Rocket Launchers - expendable, limited usage
Heavy Particle Beam Cannon - expendable, limited usage
Heavy Lightning Beam Cannon - expendable, limited usage
Heavy Acid Beam Cannon - expendable, limited usage
Grenades, all types - expendable, limited usage
If a post CU Commando is as viable profession as all the Sandboxers are saying its going to be, then a Commando that makes full use of his or her repetoire is going to be in a serious financial hurt. Heavy Weapons arent cheap, and if the Commando is going to be as good as you guys say it is, then Weaponsmiths are going to recognize this, and capitalize accordingly.
As I am an established player, with more credits than I could ever realistically spend, it wont affect. The newer players, however....
Thoughts? Has this been addressed in the correspondent forums?

Well take what we say about the CURB (and yes...its no longer CU...CURB = Combat Upgrade/Revamp/Balance)...aside from Garvin with some skepiticalism.
Things will definately be changing on the sandbox...hopefully somethings will changethat some sandbox testers dislike currently.
We're optimistic about it all, but until we get a testing...the fat lady hasnt sung quite yet. Nevertheless, we can only get better...If we go any lower than we already are heh, I may just in fact quit!
Either that, or maybe Im just a bit grumpy wasting 20 minutes since the Forums logged me out of that "restricted" area, and ultimately spent 40 mins typing up one hell of a post....that now made my eyes hurt >_<

Its become a habit for me to copy/paste what I write, if it gets long winded. You never know when these diareaha prone forums are going to take a crap on you

Yes...it almost happened a second time..but luckily I managed to get it back...
Ahh well...prolly due to a a flogging from Garvin and the NDA, we cant say anything specific about Consumeables...
Hopefully I can say this tho...don't pin all your hopes on our consumeables...
I prolly can...since we all know the CURB is about dmg and speed formulas, as well as profession roles...not weapon revamps, upgrades, or changing the stats of weapons. Its not that they're unbalanced...its just the equations (like in Chemistry...gotta balance the equation!). The CURB is about revamping and fixing the system itself...so that speaks for itself on our consumeables.

I am not pinning any hopes on them...I am not pinning any hope on anything. I have lost faith, pretty much. I dont foresee any of it going live before my time is up in this game

mm if I'm right and most defenses are being toned down a bit then the only thing that needs to be changed on the consumables is the number of charges.....you can get hpbc up to +90 accuracy, which means you have a good chance of hitting non defence stackers currently (and you don't miss those much when you get em KD)
ONE thing I hope is that they FINALLY that Fire KD from BH carbines and make it a Flamethrower special....the explanation of the specials leaves no doubt it was intended as a FT special
