Thread: Pikeman: 10 Answers
Pikeman have received almost nothing in regards from attention from the devs. We ask 10 question, every response was the same, "Combat Pass"!?!?! All we really want is something specfic, just one thing. What our they planning?

I swear you all **edit** more than a house full of old maids.
Thunderheart has already stated he doesnt have details on the combat change and he wont. I am sure they are still NOT known as it is going to be introduced little by little and change accordingly.
You don't need to bring such vulgar to the thread. Pikeman has only recieve 2 changes that I am aware of since launch. The +30 accuracy and the -30 range off LVA ect. Every other profession hasnt gotten atleast 4 times the changes we have gotten. I am going to continue being a pikeman and please don't come here thinking were a bunch of old maids because we have been so **edit** patient, but yet they still blow us over.
1) I understand that (They are very cool). I doubt the actual Royal Guard uniforms could be added for continuity concerns, but I will ask if either they or something similar can be added.
Do you realize how RAPED the word CONTINUITY is/has been?....By Devs, by players, by people who don't know what they're talking about............Do you ralize how the word CONTINUITY no longer applies ot this generic Sci-Fi game???.....
And finally, most importantly, what the **edit** do you mean, you'll ask them?........We expected you to take these questions to the Devs and get their response, and then write it down as answers to the 10 questions...... From the sound of it, you just read the question yourself, had a personal hopeless feeling, and gave us this sad pathetic excuse for a reply, letting us know you're, ABOUT, to ask them, attached with your personal despaired opinion.
2) The Force Pike is in the game isn't it? (or something similar? I just worked with Gunman21 to get the stats adjusted as well). (Translation: Are you guys stupid?...You guys don't know aaanything about your profession do you?.....)
Your answer to our question..........IS A QUESTION?!?!?.......
"Well I looked into it and discovered that the "Basic Lance" is 'describeable' as a Force Pike. Obviously this isn't what you guys are pushing for or it wouldn't have been part of the 10 questions. Please have your correspondent forward me details of what you meant as a Force Pike (Since I don't read Pikeman forums/In Concept) so we can regain productivity to this question." Is that response too well spoken??? Is that too many letters to type???....It took me ALL of 30 seconds to make up this bull**edit** of a dream answer........
3) The Pikeman focus is to further defining the role in combat, getting the moves balanced and giving them a role in the GCW.
The focus is to further defining the role in combat, getting the moves balanced and giving them a role in the GCW. (The most obvious beat-around-the-bush, copy+paste answer I've seen in quite a while)
I want to stress that Pikeman is a Hybrid Profession - - it isn't meant to be played is "Im a this and not that" or "Im a Warrior and not a Cleric".
Bitter rant mode: "I'm a Warrior, you're a warrior........but I'm 3 times the warrior you are because I don't use a weapon, and have the ability to do to myself what Clerics can do to others, all at the same cost as you." : End Bitter rant mode
SWG professions are meant to be mix and match. Pick what you want.
The dev team doesn't want players to get tied down wit hthe idea of being a single profession. The game was designed so players would have a greater customizability with their characters.
4) I suppose it is ultimately, but not on purpose. It's more of a question of this is a big game and a lot to develop. The devs genuinely want all professions to be fun and desireable.
YOU TRY TO FEED US THIS BULL**edit** A WEEK OR SO AFTER ANNOUNCING MAKING A CHANGE TO THE JEDI PROFESSION???......**edit** YOU is all I got to say......do you REALLY take us for such **edit**in idiots??? You want us to believe THAT ANSWER???......... Should I even bother to point out how much of an ignorant answer that is???.......You insult us with how stupid you think we are.....that's 2 insults already all in the same thread.
One of the things I want to do is work with you to help define that. The combat pass should really help to improve the profession.
5) Well, Im sorry, but "these will all be addressed in the combat pass" is all I have now. HAM, speed, defense, etc is all part of the combat system.
I'm helping SOE pay this guy?!?!?........Did he even take this question to the Devs???.....Such an insolent answer.............
"I have asked the Devs to give me a detailed list of the changes that will take place for Pikeman but the Devs are as of yet reluctant for a detailed ANYTHING for ANY profession. It is yet impossible to gauge what changes to what profession we are considering that will also make it through Test, and eventually Live. Once we get closer to Patch Launch date (exact date still undetermined) we can make an accurate bullet-list of all the changes to Pikeman, as well as the rest of the professions."
Took me about 1.5 minutes to cook up....*sigh*
TO BE CONTINUED........
Easy target. Perfectly controlled situation.
10 straight whiffs.
Any questions?
