well i think thats an incredibly cheeky thing to ask of the devs imo. I 'm not saying Commandos dont need any attention (hell i have incendiary 4) but theres a line here buddy lol. I have no doubt right now that SOE are trying to fix all the broken proffesions and the order looks like Squad Leaders, Rangers, Smugglers and then probably Commando. Most they would be waiting would be a month/ month and a half after our update. Now thats not really a long time to wait. However i will be p***ed off if after getting the incon treatment (yet again) we get pushed back (again). If that were to happen i dont see this update happening at all

When I read that it feels like a needle into my heart.

Take it easy, its a corrispondant looking for some love after the pastseveralpublishes his players have been promised a fix that has never worked (IE AoE damage, which is exclusively the only thing that can define the class. Should have defined the class, and hasn't seince the CU docs came out labeling us as nukers). Commandos already have it hot with Rangers, no need to toss things like this around. Everyone is screwed one way or another, point fingers at the developers who are consistantly breaking the game rather than the people trying to make the best out if it

I have seen other profs corrospondents go ballistic on our skills.

Since then I have the sudden urge to grab something by its hair and smash it repeadeatly against a wall, when I see a "now you can. =)"

I don't mind them getting a revamp. But it is about time I get my smuggling dammit.

Take heart Jaguarr, while I too am annoyed by this post I then realised that correspondants are a mediary between player and dev. They do not get to 'vote which prof gets revamped first'. That privilage is the devs, and the devs alone and given that they've already posted the smuggler stuff in concept, it looks like they made their decision a while ago.

While we certainly have been asking for a revamp on every appropriate or inappropriate occasion, we have never demanded priority over the other non-jedi professions. When the CH got their revamp, we cheered for the CHs. SL and Rangers got something good coming their way? Cheer for SL and Rangers!I wouldn´t even mind if DE and Commandos got their revamp before Smugglers, but any dumb@ss- coro or not - thinking he should try to get his profession priority over ours sure has lost favor with me.

Well, someone was going to complain that we were going to get some luv'n. Their just jealous we have beer and pie and maybe...MAYBE we will get to smuggle.

Hi,

I think you will find StarNick is just after a quick fix to Commandos main problems to make them viable in the short term :

1) Damage - sub par
2) AOE - still broken
3) Grenades - pretty worthless at the moment.

and his comments were in response to a post in there forum.

"IMO we should push to be the next proffession revamped after ranger. Smugglers got a massive revamp in the CU that turned them into a combat proffession. Sure they still lack their 'smuggling' flavor content..but hey, commando LACKS content AND damage AND role AND its weapons are totally FUBAR. We should be priority."

StarNick replied :
Thats something I'm starting to push harder now...some other Corro's agree as well. Certain news, also hints at this but I'm still waiting for a follow-up and permission regarding it though...
--------------------------------------------------

Hes just fighting his corner and trying to get fixes in like i'm sure Wes is for Smuggler.

So not really antything to get worked up about

Cheers

Just so you know, I've not seen anything that indicates a Commando revamp (although I do hope there are plans for one), let alone one happening before the new Smuggling system gets developed. StarNick's comments may seem a bit tactless/insensetive towards long time waiting Smugglers if taken out of context, but I'm sure he's just trying his best to look after his profession and their needs; can't fault him for that.

Weighing one against the other... if FD did absolutely nothing, and Panic shot did not fire a weapon... would you change your position. That is the problem Commandos face. Starnick wasn't talking about a total revamp as much as getting us some fixes for AE and our dmg+elemental problem before smugglers get a revamp.

Taken in part, or with the wrong assumption it could be looked at and taken wrong. Nick has always been supportive of smugglers. Commando as it stands now though is more broken than smuggler will ever be even without our content missions.
