Jousting on speeder bikes with basic lances!!! i'd pay money to watch that, or even participate. That would be a blast.

I'd still like to hear from the elder pikemen, and Gunman.


Any input?

yeah, great good idea, but first, lets fix the **edit**ing class huh?

We'll call your plan, "Plan B."

Ark,


You are absolutely correct. The only problem is the only 'fix' for our class seems to be 'the combat pass'. Every question regarding fixing the problems is answered with 'the combat pass'.


'Plan B' could be implemented quickly, as something toboost morale,where as 'the combat pass' is 3 or 4 months away (if that?).

The other melee weapon lines have Japanese style weapons. IMHO I think we should have one in our line as well.

... why?


Please read the entire post Daros. I explained why I think we should have the Naginata instead of a lance.

I just added this part because, eastern asian cultures have always had a strong influence on the StarWars universe.

Yup, jedi are loosely based on the samurai.

Yeah, but they won't. or they will think that if we get some goofy new weapon that we'll happy again and sorta fine with waiting.
If they were interested in pacifying us, the NSEL would be better.


you're obviously trying very hard to be as productive and civil as possible, but I and maybe other people just don't care about anythign but not sucking right now, and that being the case, we should be concerned with that. New weapons are great and good, but if they are gonna suck half as much as the ones we got now, why bother? Honestly.

I honestly don't even care if the stats of the weapon suxorz, I just think the basic lance just doesn't look right at all. There are 3 staves in the polearm tree, which could easily be replaced as well. This could just be a quick aesthetic fix.


I understand completely what it feels like to be in an overlooked profession. I was a Master Bounty Hunter for a while. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the devs and their list of priorities... /'cough -Jedi- cough'

Well, ok, they're based on a loosely interpreted, romanticizedview of samurai. More of a combination of the samurai legends, with english knights...


I like legwand's answer better tho.

You really think so? See, I've been playing this game for months and I never got that impression. I was thinking it was more based more on "Star Trek".

I guess that would explain the lack of tribbles...

yeah i agree the lance looks wrong in the fact that it only uses one side, i think we should get this weapon not only does it look good, but it wouldnt be hard to change it, only problem is people with it atm, would they just be changed to?


i would prefer this to be another sort of looted weapon (but not as hard to get as the NSEL), from a few quests like the scythe
