Commando Archive

Sorry to hijack your forum, but Helios has been so excellent at tracking down issues I decided to ask here since no one in the pikesman forum seems to know.

Currently on TC, the LVA is certified as a *commando* weapon, not a pikesman weapon. It has stayed this way through several weapons respecs. Has there been any official word: has this weapon *really* been given over to the commandos, or is it still just a code error?

Thanks.

um what do we do with a pike ?

is there a torch at the end

use it to throw nades farther


i believe it just got put in the wrong place im sure they will get it closer to your profession sometime

Yeah I heard about this over at the corr forums...heh Im pretty sure its a coding error . We don't even take up polearm in brawler so It should definately be a mistake.

Interesting. I'm going (and am currently testing on TC) Master Commando / Master Pikeman / little pistoleer in the CU. For testing, I got all the polearms and heavy weapons, and used them just to check things out... Guess that I didn't realize that my particular template made me immune to the bug.

Hopefully this will get sorted out soon... Commando getting an unarmed weapon (Massassi Knuckler) makes fairly limited sense even though unarmed 4 is a requirement. Especially when you consider that there isn't exactly a sprawling overabundance of various weapons for TKA's to play with...

It was news to me as well--and didn't seem to make sense since commando weapons are ranged. There are rumblings of a conspiricy theory that since most master pike's best weapons are Long Vibro-Axes, this was done 'on purpose' to make the profession's best weapons useless since they'd all be so "uber" after the DoT conversion. While I'm of the mind that this is absurd, some keep pointing to the "OMG! This has been pointed out a million times and still not re-specced when everything else was, that proves it!" as 'evidence'. Even our correspondant hasn't been able to find out one way or another, not even a 'yes this is a bug, we'll get to it later' so it's turning into he-said-she-said. So I figured it couldn't hurt to see if the other profession that are involved in the mistake's coding had any more insight into the thing than we as pikemasters did. Seemed to me the most productive thing to do that hadn't already been done.

Thanks again,

Thanks a lot! *skips off clutching pile of LVA's and giggling*
