Commando Archive

The good:

+25 melee/range def

+40 thrown weapon accuracy (apparently they added this last sec..or i missed it on TC)

+40 RL accuracy

+30 FT/HAR accuracy

Weapons do not death decay, nor need to be insured. (wew!)

The Bad:

1% insured has made it to live....lets see how long this or the players will last

DoT doesn't incap

-=The usual commando problems still not fixed=-

The Ugly:

The lag caused by influx of mounts..

..my City of Armont missed the 15 min tatooine, chilastra land rush by *2* minutes...

However, there is still some good sidenotes..for instance:

all insurance costs are at 100 cr, armor and all..so it doesn't cost that much to insure

For most articles of clothing..(full condition) it'll take 100 deaths to decay then if insured..and they can be repaired (ok the 1% for clothing is slightly ok..but annoying..)..but the *true* problem with 1% insured is with armor..with 35k condition on my composite i loose 350 pts per clone..and thats excluding damage i take before i kick the bucket...heck, imagine loosing 500 pts PER clone? still would take a number of deaths to totally decay and armor can be repaired (but like clothing and weapons..can sometimes fail and you loose it!) however, thats TOTALLY excluding damage taken when you only get incapped or just shot at...

In all, however, i guess we all just gotta be careful while fighting from now one..and also have a bigger commando purse too.. =/ (at least the def mods will help a ton)

But seriously, how many times do you normally die? In preparation ive been trying to die less..and it works, just like in RL you have to use your head...however we don't really *want* RL all that much in the game anyways....i bet this decay system won't be as painful as now, until they redo the creatures and make em more in line with our ham..hopefully by then we aren't all worn down to our knickers...

I dont know if its just me or what... but my DoT still wastes Stormies Mix that with some of the melee changes, I can light stuff up then switch to my VK , click on center of being and concentrate on defense.

The death/incap thing... anyone else remember when we had to do corpse runs when we died? Only to get there and find everything gone and we had to put in a CSR ticket to get our stuff back only to be told... oh well, its gone?

Compared to what the death/decay levels WERE on the test center, 1%/5% isn't THAT bad... so far I'm actually reasonably happy with this months patch... but thats personal opinion.

I noticed this too, almost though that it was a bug... but I'll be damned if I was going to report it

well, after playing on live for a bit..the insurance stuff isn't all that bad..just a major inconvienance

and seeing armor aside from a helmet or maybe some leggings/chestplate...a whole suit is somewhat worthless in pvp before insurance came

but that 1% insured still has to go!!!!

and theres still a bug making crafting tools/survey tools (post-patch ones) decay + need to be insured

and need to be insured for 250 cr each!!!! on my master commando..1k cr to insure...on my architect on valcyn a freaking 4,100 cr JUST because of the crafting and survey tools i carried around! and heck, i started that character onl a week ago and BARELY at any given time have any money to spare for harvs, let alone insane insurance..

hopefully that will be amended..
