All the new weapons are certed under marksman or brawler. If you take an elite prof the certs are revoked as you go into those lines. Your only hope now is to surrender all your skills and play as a novice prof until the CU. You have been warned!

Ah, Febtober, the one of my all time favorite months of drinking and merry-making. Right up there with the month of Smurch.





Rocvember?






What month begins with Roc, TH? Or even an R, for that matter?

True, thanks for the info.


Btw, I think many of us are just dieing for as much info as possible. And we can't wait to get more, especially for each one of our professions.





Now that I can relate to


I understand its been a long wait. I empathize, I really do. (Don't forget I still play on live almost every day and my main is a Commando).


Sometime next week we should have an announcement for you next week on why there has been an extra delay.








I can't wait.

So one question Thunderheart.


What new weapons are Commandos going to see? Or is theCommando profession going to get kicked to the curbside again?






curbside by the looks of it...too bad caz it can be such a cool profession






Guys - please stop with the doom and gloom for no reason. All of the professions are getting a lot of love in the Combat Upgrade.


The information is just going to come out a little bit at a time as it is ready. Just because you don't see something is not a reason to assume the worst (thats just a bad habit =p )









WellI wouldn't be so doom and gloom if thethe other Devs wouldn't keep dropping in new NPC's and MOB's to the current game that have AR2 or 3 and 75%+ heat and acid resists.


I'm just tired of being shut out of the newer content because my chosen profession has been waiting on these fixesfor over a year.


I'm sorry to sound so cynical, but I've not seen anything personally to evenbring any type of optimism back just yet.

Well, for the record, not all commandos are angsty about the update.If you read between the lines you might note some peculiar things...






Name: Explosive Shell Sniper Rifle
Effective Range: Long
Type: Rifle
Description: A power rifle capable of taking down even the toughest targets.





Garvin, is this that blast rifle you said you were trying to get?

Connery: I'll take 'Months that start with "Feb" Trebek.
Trebek: For how much?
Connery: Surprise me you dirty basterd.
Trebek: That is completely unneccessary. Ok.. Months that start with 'Feb' for 400. Mr. Connery?
Connery: What is 'Febtober'
Trebek: No. Calista Flockheart?
Flockheart: What is.. 'Febturday'
Trebek: No! The answer was 'February.' That's the month that begins with 'Feb.' It was last month.
Connery: Aha! A trick question!

The commando community appreciates that you play a Commando. We're honored by your membership, and have never forgotten.

But you've just confirmed something that is completely obvious, but that SOE hasn't stated before. There has been a delay. And this is an extra delay on top of that. This could have been told to the community when the delay was encountered, but it wasn't. But I think I recall SOETyrant posting last week that we'd be hearing something this week. Now we are going to hear something next week.

All the player base wants to hear is meaningful, clear communication on where things are. And not communicating is NOT clear communication. SOE can't be accused of giving bad information, but it also can't say it's communicating important information.

Thanks for passing along this bit of detail. We're starving info and will eat any crumb that falls off the table.

Wait... what? You're joking, right? I get seduced by the most busted profession in a game of busted professions, and I can't even burn down an open face plate Rebel? At least you're exagerating?

Dang it, I knew I should have checked their resists... was a TKM so long I forgot to check much past Kenetic...

The CH profession will believe it when we see it, so far every benefit given to CH has been made obsolete by other benefits to other professions.
