Commando Archive

It was not the friday feature we were promised but it was nice not to have JTL shoved down our throats for once. Now if they would now just hurry up and start the #%%$ sandbox.

No, it wasnt about JTL, but in all honesty it was just as useless, IMHO

Why?

Because skill enhancement loot is already in the game, in the form of CA's/AA's, and looted clothing/armor with built in enhancements...

Posters and other crap like that are useless to me because I already have several full houses of stuff, and I refuse to drop another house to more useless junk in.

The only positive part of the patch was the loot tables being revamped. I havent had a chance to try it out since I have been (and still am) out of town, but it will be refreshing to kill an elder or something, and actually be rewarded for it. However, if the first elder I kill drops a goddamned Han Solo poster, I am litterally going to scream bloody murder.

I look forward to the day that the house I have FULL of CA's/AA's actually becomes worth walking into. All I can do when I look into my Commando house is cry (A prenerf ubese shirt with +25 speed and 3 slots left, a prenerf mubari belt with a +20 accuracy and two slots left...one CA has +20 heavy weapons speed, another has +15 heavy weapons accuracy, and quitea few +10's for both, and countless +5's...Three Krayt flamers with 30 percent and higher damage slices, about 10 pretty damned uber Launcher Pistols...Crates of RL's, HPBC's, HABC, and HLBC's...Grenades out the wazoo, many that are acklay venom enhanced)

But I digress....

I realize these publishes are planned in advance, but there are sometimes when a certain deadline needs to be pushed back to meet the current, urgent needs such as warcry.

There is a mass exodus of players....Its really sad...Everyday, my email has at least one to two emails about people quitting. I have inherited so much stuff over the last few weeks its not even funny. People are tired of it. PvP and the GCW (which is the heart and soul of SWG, regardless of what devs tell you, and not JTL) is dead. If you arent a melee stacker with a dot weapon, you have no chance. As a little test, I took my master rifleman toon and dueled a buddy that is a def stacker...I did 150 shots, all headshot3's at ideal range, and the ONLY time I hit was the downtime between CoB...Strafeshot2 was no better...I tried stunning, dizzy....Nothing worked. The toon has +25 accuracy in a AA to go along with the +7 speed shirt, and it didnt matter.

The sad fact is, if they make the CU docs public, it wont matter. Why? Because they can make all the information public that they want, but until it hits live, there is NO reason to log into live. None at all. The changes wont be there, so why play? Why raid a base or city? We can talk about it all we want (the CU), but until the CU hits live or TC, its all talk and no action.
