Commando Archive

way back at launch, i remember commandos were the only ones for a long time to take out AT-STs solo. good old days

yeah, the good times, i miss it, no the Cu f-ed everything up

There was a window of about one month where this was the case... and I was a novice during it; yar!

Actually back in the early days when folks ran around unbuffed it was actually quite lovely to turn that pretty little red bar of there's black. Good times good times.

Yeah for a month (between September and October) we were FOTM, then we were hit with a 2.5x melee damage modifier for our weapons. Meaning, we took two and a half times more damage from melee...and yet we were limited to 17 m for our specials.

Kinda put the damper on some things before the uber buffs and armour came out. Luckily, that modifier was turned into a "to hit" one where we had the chance to be hit more.

Don't know, but I do remember freaking out once because I kept dieing to Jawa's while trying to loot my corpses (there was a jawa warlord death gauntlet 2k m outside of Bestine). The last time, I was just within the city limits when a jawa engineer aggroed me and warped onto my location...insantly killing me. By then I had black HAM bars...and the cloning menu didn't come up - I thought I perma died lol.

I'm still kickin, trying to make the best of it now

You mean Grenadier.

I joined in early 2004, and back then my choice was either going to be Bounty Hunter (thinking like Boba Fett)or Commando (Spec.Forces, so I thought).

I didn't know what each one totally meant in gameplay since I didn't understand all the gibberish as a lonely newb in Doerba Goefel, Corellia.

So, I felt I was in a Spec.Forces type of mood, so I picked Commando.

I picked it up and Mastered immediately past the "Golden Days" of Commando.

Typical of my luck.

But I still kept the Master Commando tag all the way up to the CU. I dropped TKM to spice it up with M.Commando / BH Carbines / Carbineer. It was a fun mix for me back then, and I further seperated myself from being FOTM (and Master Commando wasn't FOTM in Spring 2004).

I was a Commando CH on bloodfin since the outset of the game. For a time I was great. Even though that time was short lived it was fun. I remeber people told me that I could not use specials in duels because they did not want to get burned. It was fun to pvp on Tat and watch whole groups of unbuffed people skirm as their health got burned into nothingness. Then someone where in there we got a huge burn reduction. I have to admit for awhile there, late 2003 to early 2004 our burn was alittle cheap, but hey CM and riflemen were just as bad if not worse later on.Commando Pre-cu was imo the second bestpve proffession. With a good tank I could kill almost any highlvl mob in a matter of minutes with my burns.I loved playing commando and I was so sad to drop it. Both my characters on Bloodfin and Shadowfire were commandos, now neither wields a flamer. I hope to return to commando and pick up where the fun started.
