Gunman21:
I have something to bring to the table, probably never been brought up before. But since I don't know, and really could give a crap about whether or not you all have heard it before anyhow, here goes...
I like the Pikeman animations, but I get kind of annoyed that moves always look the same. It'd be nice if we could get several moves connected to the same special, just for the sake of variety. Like maybe Polearm Hit 2 could use the animations from its present setup, Area 1, and Sweep 2.
Now, I'm sure you're all thinking, what a silly answer. To which I have to say:
Silly question, silly answer.
Every concievable thing involved in Pikeman has pretty much come to the table and been ignored by the devs. If you think we're going to come up with a stroke of brilliance that the devs will be overwhelmed by and feel compelled to implement after 6 months, you obviously think more of the devs' feelings toward player feedback than I do. Which wouldn't be hard, I'll grant you - every time I imagine the devs, one of them says "Pikeman" and the rest are howling with laughter...
The combat revamp had better be good.

I would classify that as a 'wishlist' item. The animations work for us, but having variation would be cool in my opinion. It's a new and refreshing idea, so I think I'll plop that on the list if no one has any objections....

It feels kind of like we're in a lull...just waiting for the next patch to see what "goodies" they have in store for us, and waiting to hear something about the up-coming combat/weapons passes. I don't know what to say that hasn't been already been said a hundred times. (See any number of posts about mitigation, offense, defense, inferior area attacks, etc etc etc to exhaustion)
We are quieted by the hopes of looting a nice polearm from a nightsister. I'll say it again, I think it's our opium pushed on us by the devs to keep us content. I mean, after all, who else gets such reliable weapon drops? Who else got a brand new weapon? Pikemen.

Who care's about the HAM costs

Absolutely.
By the way, about that block test...I'm still willing to do it, it's just difficult to find someone willing to stand there and test it out with me. I have a friend that would help, but has not been on since that original post was made. If someone would like to make a trip to Kauri or would like me to come over to their server to hit them with a survival knife a few times, I'd be glad. I'm curious to see definitively if the unblocked damage gets cut down by armor or not.

I'd love to be the ones stabbing you in the back antares, but alas I must decline and hope Gunman21 take you up on that offer. He seems to have few things going on atm

From the way things are going, I think we'll be seeing lots of love with the combat pass, but I have no clue as to what we'll get.
Burnblades? or did you mean runesaber?
