Thread: Wishlist
some ideas I had
A HAM cost reducing stat: this is something i think should be standard in professions as you use a weapon becoming more familar with it, it should take less to use it.
more attention lol
Spears, Pikes, Halberds, oh my!
Area Bleed would be nice.
Mounted combat, but I'd perfer we get the current issues fixed
Uhm... My 2 creds.

Pikeman definitely need some sort of "cool" factor to distinguish them though..
area bleeds isnt't useful in PvP?
Tell me how an area bleed is useful in a duel?
A DUEL IS ONE V ONE WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO HIT MULTIPLE TARGETS WHEN FIGHTING VS ONE PERSON

Well for one, a duel is a very small part of what most people do in the game, most do solo PVE. That being said, pikeman is not a dueling class, note how many AE attacks we have, that is where we should really rally behind, make our class the leader of crowd control, either be rasing the accuracy of our weapons, or by giving us better defense, either one would work for me. Saying that AE bleed would be useless to a class that has so many AE attacks to me says that you are in the wrong class.
I would like a definition of class please. I know we are suposed to be "the most damaging" yet we have one of the worst DPS unless we get really lucky with an area attack. Personally I would think with holding a huge pike or lance one might have lots of defense?
Before we go around asking things how about we figure out what we do and what role we place. I'm tired of games like EverQuest that keep changing classes because they are under balanced. I need a definition from the team please.
My personal WISHlist
1) FIX BLOCK!
2) LOWER HAM COSTS!
3) SPREAD OUR BONUSES! We don't get any bonuses in whole line and +30 in one box. This is crazy. I would prefer +15 acc in each Support box... That would keep us improving with each box, not just the last in the line.
Uhm, sorry for not reading the whole post.
THIS IS REAL WISH LIST
1) FORCE PIKE
2) Some Pikeman only move, just like TKA have. Something like Meditation, but Pikeman Meditation. For Example, a /train move, which will lower your HAM costs for a while and give you a bonus to acc and damage?
3) Mounted Combat won't be thatbad.
Area bleeds would b awesome. Bleeds are the only good thing we have right now (and **edit** theyre good)
We have everything else area so why not right?
Also i think that all classes should have an unique skill like tka has meditate. Not sure what we could have but maybe something like an improved COB or tiwce and much COB mobs than everyone else.
1. New novice Pikeman weapon: The Glaive
This deadly weapon, sometimes referred to as an 'echani-nata', consists of a long hilt concealing twin retractable vibro-blades. The blades are depicted as being capable of slashing through impervium armor and human / alien flesh with ease. The blades of the Glaive are also shown to be capable of withstanding / blocking blaster fire from weapons as heavy as the BlasTech DLT - 19 rifle.
A javalin type throw attack...basically for those punks who run while shooting...or for STs that i chase all over the world map because once i hit them, they start running and sometimes don't stop!
Using specials on mounts would really be class defining here's the rest of my wishlist:
1. A variety of spears, lances, halberds ect that are high end with different tactics so there is not one be all end all weapon I.E. lance would have high attack but low accuracy etc and stun damage, maybe a pike that could do energy damage.
2. Area bleed attacks
3.Rename the moves so they are not jsut polearm hit 3 that's stupid
4. For the mounts we could maybe have a tree dedicated to mount combat kind of like the meditationt ree for TKA
5. Javelin weapon would be really cool, you could throw it as a special or something, Let us make them, we could make like stacks of 15 with a few resources like bones and hide cause they only would be a one-shot deal
6. Maybe we could have a tree that reduces armour encumbrance so that we could be fully suited and not suffer the penalties, because traditionally pikeman were heavily armoured.
I'll think of some other things
My wishlist......
1) Mounted Combat....Very cool a charge would be nice to go along with this, catch up to the fleeing marksmen then use the extra power to kill em.
2) New Weapons? Hrm Force Pike would be a nice addition, I think a new Type of lance should be a dded more resmbling a true lance, as it is it looks more like a sword. A big hilt tapering into a point would be great. What about a double edged sword, it seems like that would be more of a pike weapon, Another thing that could be added though Im not sure it counts as a pike is the segmented staff, it looks sorta like a 3 segment staff connected by chains.
3) Defense against KD, Personally I think Pikes should be the hardest to KD because we can brace ourselves with our poles.
4) Some Standing Pikeman Annimations, When we Stand still for a long time or somthing we sould lean on our weapons, not hold them straight out into the air just waiting to Impale somthing.
5) Area Bleed would be really Cool, So would Disarm. Personnally If we could get 1 move to make us Really good PvPers would be Sunder, THe ability to attack a weapons condition Directly. That would really Piss people off cause we could slice the barrel clear off their new Flamethrower or T21.....
Well Thats pretty much it If we were to get some new stuff, keep in mind these are in no particular order and that we should first get fixed before having additons too our arsenal.
