Thread: Whose content will we be?

I'm beginning to see a pattern. Jedi have been Bounty Hunters content for forever and vice versa. Now smugglers are looking like Ranger content and Rangers content for Smugglers. My gut instinct is this is a trend we'll continue to see. Battlefields, the GCW, large scale PvP have all either failed completely or dwindled into nothing. The new thought process seems to be trying to pit profession against proffesion, based on how successful pitting Jedi against Bounty has been. Givea proffesiona face lift and you can add PvP content at the same time.So, for the sake of argument, lets say thats true. Who will be our counter? I went through the list of professions and I didn't se a single one that even remotely suggested itself, especially the way Commando is conceived now. Am I:


A.) Imagining it all and it's all just a weird coincidence

B.) Right in my instincts but unable to see where we would fit into such a scheme or

C.) Right about whats happening and correct the we don't really have a place in it.

We will be pitted against architects some day, as they struggle to replace the installations we Ka-BooM.


meh.

I don't need to be anyone's "content" I just want my damageto be as bad*** as my weapons look when fired.

option D you are already a part of an overall scheme of content. The content is this: the devs give one profession something and the other professions who wanted skills like that go berserka and battle over it. They gave rifleman and Jedi stealth, rangers went nuts. They gave commando's AoE state producing thrown objects. Rangers went nuts. They gave Rangers stealing. Smugglers go nuts. They give Ranger anti-personal devices. Commandos go nuts. C'mon guys this is content right here!


heh. sorry.


anyway, I think the implicaitons of the profession v profession are much more limited than the potential roles in the GCW. I think as their vehicle coding system gets more powerful, we could start to see vehicle battles and once you get that coding down, you could easily get mounted weapons for bases and entrenchments and all of a sudden, commando's have a role in the GCW, alongside Rangers, rather than struggling against them.


I really hope that something good is coming down the pipeline for ya. Maybe Rangers can get some anti-commando missions too. We'll steal your...um...bubblegum. Then what will you do? Without your precious bubblegum, however shall you rule the world? mwahahahahaha.


anyway...right. Got it. Ranger forum is -----> thataway. I'll show myself out now.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Lol...there shall be no Anti-Commandoing on my watch

Maybe some Anti-Rangering may be in order... *grins at Phenix*

Seriously...I see our content as, big explosions...which we have and always had. I'd be far more concerned about our role, which isn't up to snuff...

For Commando to be "content" for another profession, we need to pose some sort of threat.

Which we don't exactly do, IMO.

The only threat Commandos present in SWG is to their own group.

Rangers don't exactly scream "threat" though. I mean if I show up at your front door, you're not gonna run screaming in fear. I mean, at worst I might chase your cat and use your pottend plants as a toilet.

True, true, but Rangers don't do anything as a profession to get the entire group angry at them and get booted off. Only if they run off and are busy harvesting carcasses instead of lending a hand in a tight fight is the only situation where I can see the group getting irked with them.

But I have seen many, many occasions where the group gets p***ed off at the Commando. Far more than the occasional mistakes in unleashing Full Auto Area, Fan Shot, or Spray Shot area attacks. Once people start seeing the Heavy Weapons get pulled out and get over the flashy effects, the popularity of a Commando almost always drops shortly within the group. Maybe even get booted off.
