... then don't play commando!


Why do you whiners bother spending your free funtime doing something that's not fun?


If the profession is not fun for you, then do something else that's fun. If the game is not fun for you, then do something outside of the game that's fun. Watch a movie. Go skiing. Drink a beer.


It'sa simple matter to press that "surrender" button in your skill tree. It's a simple matter to press that "cancel" button on your Station Pass SWG subscription page. Why do you keep on beating your head on the wall if you don't like playing commando?Just leave. You do NOTHING but spread negativity around the forums and in-game to people who love and live in this game.


I love the commando profession. I love playing it. I spend hours and hours enjoying my time in-game toasting PCs, burning witches on Dathomir, etc.


I hate coming to these forums, but I have to because I love this profession so much, and I know the Devs place too much weight in their decisions on the community that posts here ... a community which is only a small fraction of the actual players playing the game.


Leave the profession, or just leave the game. Do anything else, but just stop posting your immature, childish, whiny, NEGATIVE, rants on these boards so people who love this game can do something productive with the forums.

You have to press the button AND type things. It's hard.


Also, I take it you don't actually want any of the broken things fixed?

I don't consider the profession broken.


I have loads of fun playing it. I do massive damage with the flamer. I get very cool loot from nightsisters.


The profession is working fine. It can be enhanced, but it's working fine.


Again, if you thinkit's sooooo broke, then why do you bother playing it?

Because giving up is the cowards way out (no offense to you dedicated folk who quit out of frustration.) I'm happy that you're satisfied with spending 169 skillpoints for your one trick pony, but no one else is.


If you think this profession isn't broken, take one look in the HAR and look me in the eyes when you say it. There is no possible way that the HAR is not broken.

You obviously don't play in PVP, otherwise you wouldn't consider this profession a "cakewalk" like you said before.


We love commando. We love it so much that we'd like to see it at it's full potential. If the HAR wasn't broken and it had armour piercing like the skill tree states it does (the skill tree states something along the lines that it's designed to pierce through enemy defenses). Heavy weapons are slow, innaccurate and otherwise weak compared to a TKM or Rifleman. We want to fit the role that the profession states. Either as an elite combat soldier (and when I say soldier, I don't mean hunter) or as aheavy weapons specialist. Right now, we don't fit either of those roles. If a heavy weapons specialist is to destroy the armoured foes then why do CMs (and the M stands for Medic) do a far better job at that?


And no, you don't enjoy being a commando. You enjoy being a grenadeer.

The launcher pistol and the rocket launcher is cool. Even though I don't connect as often as I wish with the rocket launcher and I have to learn A profession I don't really care to learn to use the launcher pistol. And the flame throwers animations rock. Something about the sounds they make.

I don't play it for the power. I play it cause I like it so far.

You really need to read this forum more clearly...Just because our profession is broken doesn't mean it's unplayable...I still enjoy being a Commando but I must honestly rely more heavily on my Dabbled Secondary profession then I'd prefer...


Ask yourself this...if you car blew a tire, would you buy a new car? or would you get your car fixed? We stay with Commando because we want to see it fixed...that's how much we love this profession...


For this profession to be considered our Primary profession, that would mean we could use it's abilities for most of our in game events...but with only one well working weapon, that's hard to do...


Take tonight for instance...I went to the new Geno Lab...at that Lab everything has very high Heat Resists...the most damage I could do anything (using flamesingle2) was around 600pts...and that's with a 1050 power FT...that barely put a dent in their HAM...other's around me were laughing...I had to shelve the FT and use my TKM skills...which did tons more damage then my FT...I would have been nice to have another Commando weapon that was reliable to use in that situation...but the Rocket Laucher (and other consumables heavy weapons) can't be used indoors (or in a cave)...the HAR is broken...the LP has no specials or skill mods beyond what we get in marksman...and grenades are out of the question...So my Commando Skill were completely useless...this isn't acceptable...it doesn't mean I want to abandon the profession over this, it just strengthens my desire to see us fixed...


So take moment and view our complaints through a different set of eyes...we complain and fight because we care...not just to here ourselves whine...
