It may not be our initial reaction, but I think if we want to hear from him again on this, we should at least remain civil. I doubt he'll be coming back into this thread with all the backlash. I'm not sure how to get him to communicate about this again...

Think we'd have any luck if we reformat the questions and resumbit them? Maybe a petition of some sort?

I love how people (myself included) come out of the woodworks for posts like this one.

Anyhow... I feel that this overwhelming number of responses (for the pikeman forum anyway) should be a clue as to how we are feeling. I have been a pikeman since about day 10 of SWG launch, and I almost never post here (although I read the boards daily). Here I am though, posting a rant, along with all the other "closet pikemen."

I know the devs have a hard job (I myself am a somewhat experienced code writer), but it is the job that they chose/accepted. People like TH are there to keep the code writers in touch with the end users. I feel it is a little hard for one person to do, but again, it is the job he chose/accepted. I cannot really place blame on TH, the devs or on the correspondent systemfor our lack of "love," but I really hope they work it out.

I love Star Wars. I enjoy most aspects of this game. Bottom line is that the game should be fun for everyone (stated by TH himself), but we as a community are not having fun. I have fun in this game by sightseeing and crafting, but I really would like to fight for fun.

Just my thoughts, take them for what they are worth.

What i cannot fathom myself is how they can make the combat professions so completely unbalanced.

Even the devs must see (if only by the huge influx of TKMs) that Teras Kasi is now completely overbalanced. They have the speed and the meditation... why in gods name give them those awesome specials too...

As far as i see it a master combat elite should be able to give another master combat elite a fair run for his money, where only sideeffects of other stuff in one's template or just luck or smarts of one of the combatants should make one side the winner.

As it is now a TKM will always beat me... so why would i even try and tackle one...

And yeah i could take fencer's defensive lines and TK's defensive / meditation crap... but i don't wanna... Pure Master Pikeman should be able to stack up against a Pure Master Teras Kasi or a pure Master Heavy Swordsman. As it is now (i love CH as well) i just cannot compete.

whoah...as a pistoleer I feel for you guys, were ineffective, but at least we can at least do some pve and survive most of the time. What really gets my goat is, TH most likely going to respond to all combat profession questions with "wait till the combat pass". Which of course is utter bull, no offence Th I realise your job is to placate the community, while not actually going as far as to promise, or agree, or give away anything. The problem is, all we know about this "combat pass" is that effectivelly we've all suddenly be the target of the rifleman style ham stuff. I.E. we suffer dmg to ourselves from unhealable pools.

Thats all besides the point though. Serisously, I'm really begining to question the dev's thought processes in this game. Pikeman a hybred profession?! I dont even want to think of what they will call pistoleers. TH points out that a weapon is in game, when its not, and all the rest of the real decent important questions get the same BS non-answer. To quote our not-so word friendly president "These answers are a non-starter".

PIKEMAN NEEDS SOME LOVIN PEOPLE. Make a petition, I'm sure you'd have one larger then the one the carbineers had. I know I would sure as hell sign it.

We did, a long time ago. Those posts do no good at all. Look at carbineer.

Lets redirect the attention to the vision experiment, Pikemen past and present only please, this way we can let the dev's know what we would expect as obviously the expectation is missing on someones end.

There comes a time in every mans life when 86 years is just too damn long...
