Thread: To those who hate NGE...
If Stars Wars doesn't have melee then why was Jabba's sail barge full of pikemen ? When Lando entered Jabba's palace in disquise he was carrying a long vibro axe.
Melee was part of Star Wars, TK is part of SW lore. It's just the movies portray gun fighting because it was more exciting to watch. In MMORPG you need to break some rules of universe or you end-up where NGE is. Thats everyone the same.

That is true, but melee isnt completly removed from the game. smugglers, BHs will use melee as well as other professions. Im just saying specific melee professions like pikeman dont really fit in. With all the major fights do you ever a see a stormtrooper with a pike running into battle? No because he would get killed. Agreed that some rules can be broken but melee should be a subclass, a close quarter use. Not and open "I run at the ranged guy and kill him ha ha ha" TK im sad will be taken out. I have allot respect for that profession and am sad to see it go, hopfully in the future SOE will bring it back in a new fashion but for now i guess its going away
