Thread: I've come to the inescapable conclusion...
...but it seems I've been getting quite a few of those lately. Not to mention, another failure for a follow-up regarding AoE...

ive just masterd commando , and im loving every bit of it
, i wish i was pre-commando , musta been cool , oh well life gose on , but commando is very very very VERY fun , at the moment its jedi powers sorta thingMaster Commando
4004 Smuggler
0034 Pistoleer
4000 Combat Medic
Now i went with this combo because i figured i would be the master of state control.. i could use quick draw with my flamer and do insane damage in quick repitition. However, all the other heavy weapons just suk for dmg. Even the flamer is only around 800 max, 450 min. Which is good for pvp but i miss alot even with 140 general ranged accuracy, which i now realize is broken because i just miss way to much. so "general ranged accuracy is broke on heavy weapons" is my official quote of the day. Devs need to fix this.
So far my issue is the SAC costs. The damage output is supposed to match the amount of action costs right? But then again that would make too much sense. Take for example jedi prof. Lightsaber at master does awesome damage and low force costs while master powers uses more action than a rifleman and does less damage output than all combat professions combined.
SOE have no sense of logic. They also cant program, and never played their own game. Its a corporation and they just want to make money. Not fixing the bugs means we spend more time playing waiting for the bugs to be fixed. They know this, and they dont care.
Somethings fishy, thats for sure. The Devs realy need to get their act together and do something about our broken profession.
We're definatly the unwanted stepchild that no one cares about.
They can try to break us, but they never will. Surrender is not an option for Commandos.

Damn, when did the commando population become whinny and hateful like the Jedi...
So the devs haven't shown us love, doesn't mean they HATE us. We just aren't in their money making margin right now. Jedi and BH are the biggest reasons people are buying the game right now. It's also not the devs fault. They don't get to choose what they work on as much as one would think. Much of what comes out in publishes is due to the corporate suits choosing what will and won't make money for the company.
We will get love, jut not today. If you love the profession, you will stick with it. The fact that Ranger and Smuggler are gonna get love soon (unless this has changed and is old news that has been scrapped) are signs that things are floating away from being centered on Jedi and BHs.

If you honestly think that the devs as a whole have it in for the Commando populous... you are a f***ing moron.
They do sort of. They don't hate us, otherwise we would of have been removed. But they think of us as the following.
2003, we used our Uber Flame DoTs and killed AT-STs with Flame Dots oh noes!
We got nerfed super bad, after that which is about the time I started, because I asked my cousin what did you think was a good profession, he said commando, cause I guess he hadn't heard what the Devs did. I also vaguely remember the Devs saying something about us, and everyone screamed it seemed like "Evil Exploiting Commandos! NERF THEM!".
So we were left like that pretty useless, but it was still fun and good, but compared to other folks Commandos kinda sucked, unless you needed DoTs to kill SBDs.
We used the LP as a Lag Tool to crash people.
We stacked flame dots for good damage against SBDs and the like.
We used Grendes by the crate to grind out Combat XP, to become Jedi faster.
Now we are being bad by mass rooting stuff with our AOEs, and using Stopping Shot or whatever is overpowering with the Flamethrower cause it would also give you a Flame DoT along with damage.
To the Devs we are the exploiting greifing jerks, and all because lots of knuckledheads, probably Jedi now always used what we had for their power purposes giving us a bad name.
The Devs don't care about us. To them we're the worst community out there, worse then Jedi or BH, which is filled with brats who care nothing more then doing whatever it takes to PWN people.
So the Devs will continue to stall, lie, and so on, cause that's the way they are.
They don't care about us. Just as long as we pay every month, and don't start a mass of whining or protesting they won't do anything. We are their bad apples. They probably think were already overpowered due to others whining of mass root and what not, and the example of us TH made. Their probably consiering taking AOEs and such away, leaving us just with weapons. Also anytime we ask or come up with ideas for Commando, they probably just think we're plying for extra power so we can become some FOTM.
That's honeslty what I believe.
Anything they do with us, Rangers, Sqaud Leaders, Smugglers, is just to give us false beliefs that things might be good. To mess with us and still keep the center of this game around BH and Jedi, by keeping us lesser. Ranger is probably gonna suck, it's gonna take a gillion resources to make stuff, traps will not work do 200 damage. Squad Leader won't really be any better, Smugglers will never get content or smuggle, DEs, and IDs who the heck are they?
Kaytin, some of the commandos here are veterans of many, many "we'll get love some day, but it's not today"...even when we were told we'd get love today, we still haven't gotten it. I've been a commando for 2 years, 2 months, and 9 days today...I still feel the profession is fun and love being a commando, and will never change. But its irking when so many times the community has banded together to try and come up with great ideas, help the devs, and show our support (we were one of the only communities at first to fully accept the CU, because we were patient in waiting and felt that would be our day to shine...ironically, we were without a doubt the number one combat profession to be given a shaft). Personally, it's irking because our community is a potent resource and rarely ever gets tapped; rather it gets dissapointed all too often.
Very much like the carrot dangling that the smugglers had to go through since launch...we can only hope their revamp isn't like our CU.
