Good post.

It is to true that the devs just need to chill out with this profesion crippling crap. At least make sure everyone is working 100% in order to tell that there is a balance problem.

I will always keep master commando unless I just give up on the game completely so I have seen several commandos come and go. They had given us the 2.5 damage mod so a lot of people left. I was getting /tells constantly from holo-grinders to train them from clear acrosss the galaxie because I was one of very few commandos left around on my server. (and yes I noticed on other servers a lot more of us) Each one would get trained to master then say "on to the next holo" and that would be the end of it.

Once they dropped the 2.5 damage mod, all was good for me, running around not afraid of a damned thing PvE just roasting away. But that makes others unhappy so they yell nerf the FT, nerf the DoT, nerf, nerf, nerf. So now it is coming, a resists to DoT and a fire extinguisher.

Now let me mind you that several of us were in favor of resists being considered in our DoT, and a way to put the flame out, but not until we have our other weapons working, and if the method to put the flame out is meant to stop kamilazee commando tactics, not just readily keep dousing yourself down.

We dont yet know what the fire extinguishers are planned to be like and who can use them, but we do know that our FT is still our only real working weapon. Was I hurting someone running around slaying large creatures? I dont think so. All I know is I was havig fun, so here comes the monkey wrench.

The worse part is, this wont be the first time the DEVs screwed us and they do it without ever fixing one damned thing in our profession. OK, so even if the FT is way powerfull all scary weapon (heh, in 16m maybe) what is wrong with it when its all we got?

Now I see talk of nerf to TKA, which concerns me cause I took novice TKA immediately after novice commando in Kor Vella. I just got TKA 0-3-0-4 right now but I would hate to see this happen. I feel that they just got you guys working right so it makes you appear all powerfull when really, you just arent as broke as other professions.

Have they said anything about what they wil do to you?

Wow! Were we talking about fair? If so my bad. I thought we were talking about how things get nerfed rather than fixed first. Sorry.

C'mon seriously now. Im a master commando, people tell me what unfair is all the time, but lets just say we dont know what really is fair until everyone is 100% working.

Well Im glad you guys like the post...I just came home and feel like playing...............(Clicking Halo)

Heh...I always seem to have bad luck with flavors of the month...First I thought commando is cool thought i'd try it out. I went on vacation and everyone and their mother was holding a flamethrower... Next I'd thought i'd switch to TKA sounded cool. Beating the crap outta stuff with my bare hands.. 2 weeks later and behold everyones a tka running around asking best way to lvl unarmed 4 and tka novice... After that I thought rifleman would sound like a cool profession. A good way to complement my melee skills if they started kiting. Yes thats right riflemen left and right blasting people away with srafe 2. So I thought i'd take up pikeman to get away from the flavors and be an individual.. Actually pikeman looked cool but it was broken as hell. Much more than I thought before I started... Personally I don't mind having alota people in my profession just the people who come with it.. Arrogant 12 yr olds gloating everytime they beat someone aiming the nerf bat right at us... Reason why people don't flock to pikeman is because they tend to lose. Until all professions are balance you'll tend to see a large number of people in one profession.

These conspiracy theories give the devs far too much credit.

The reason we are a FOTM is because our KD+dizzy is very effective in PvP. Before that it was eyeshot and before that underhand shot.

It's not the devs, it's the dumb l337 types who don't go out to explore different avenues or professions but wait for someone to discover the next "pwn j00" PvP special then they flock to the profession that has that special. TKA's have been in this game since launch and they have always had a KD+dizzy combo. It wasn't a "problem" and didn't need "balancing" until a few monthsago when all the Owen Zjoo's of the gamediscovered it.

If you really take the time to think about it there have been very very few combat nerfs in this game. The only true combat nerfs were that knockdowns had their HAM costs increased and were put on a timer and the T21 was nerfed and these were done for PvE and not PvP. That's about it. Yeah there are 50 million TKA's now but before the patch that upgraded melee professions and fixed defenses there were 50 million Expert Bounty Hunters around also. Back during the days of eyeshot spammers TKA's still had a KD+dizzy combo but no one was complaining about it then. Why? Because they were too busy crying aobut eyeshot.

The latest FOTM trend that is forming is the Rifleman's Jawa Ion Cannon (AP1 Stun damage = PvP Composite Armor slayer). This gun has been in since launch but it's only now becoming popular 7 months after release. Why? Because it took the l337 d00dz this long to discover it. Another FOTM trend is Carbineer's charge shot (it's not on a timer and can be spammed). Once stacking defenses are resolved you will see tons of Riflemen/Carbineers running around spamming chargeshot then switching to a Jawa Ion Rifle and spamming headshots with that.

Its not a consipracy theory......im am not saying the DEVS planned such a screwed up combat system, it is simply a fact of the game.

In fact you basically mimic'ed everything I said.
