Even if you a Dev. doesn't mean you can smoke weed every day.

/confused

So by not being a dev does that mean I can?

Ohh, but lets imagine for a second that a patch was made to fix all of SWG's problems. Everyone anxiously awaits as their data is updated. Hundreds of people load into what was SWG pre-patch, but now is a twisted 'Burton' like nightmare, wookiees running around with kaduu heads and fire dots, TK's the size of Krayts, Bothans everywhere!!!!!! I shudder at the thought.

I have a master pike and almost a master TKA each on different servers. I read this post earlier and then tried using my TKA found a regular squil, masked my sent and got to 11m away from him and used unarmed knockdown and he went down faster then superman with krytonite underwear. I couldnt believe this so I tried on numerous creatures and at 11m I can use any of my special attacks and hit them. I will try tonight with my Master Pikeman I am sure it will not be 11m which will make me mad since it should be double of what a unarmed could it at.

LOL several pikeman have been saying this for a while now and your thread brings it to life once again. In the past when a new patch was going live I would excitedly read through the patch notes looking for a fix or something for the Pikeman. Instead I only read how the TKA got another upgrade. When I read how they were getting this range increase a while back I laughed, then turned the game off that day in disgust. I've lost all faith in the development team and how they've handled our. It will take a miracle for them to change my view. I love Lucas's vision and Star Wars. My children have become fans as well and play the game. I just hope the development team and their managers can save this mess they call SWG now with the up and coming content and combat changes.

I complained already too: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=pikeman&message.id=11873

It's ridiculous a class with approx.2m long weapons have to be closer to a mob with non-specials than a bloody unarmed class.

Ever since the combat dev said he didn't want range to be a factor in inter-melee differences, then they decided to make the VKs have 5m range, we've all complained about it.

I haven't really hada problem with the "Out of range" issue since the specials were increased to 10m, but if we could get some solid information for the devs I can request they look into it

(Maybe some screen shots or something?)

I don't think it's a problem, just a sad commentary on the state of things. You're right, the 10m special range does wonders.

I'm also Novice Pikeman now and I must say that I don't understand what the heck you're complaining about. TKA have 5m range on their standard attacks. I mentioned that I have a 7m range as a Fencer. I now know that I also have a 7m range as a Pikeman. Nuff said. No need to complain. As a matter of fact, the armed melee professions ALL have slightly better range than TKA, even on specials. TKA specials have a range of 10m. The rest have a range of 11-12m. Not much perhaps but still better than TKA

I believe he's complaining about his test. I've had similar results. Autoattacks for pikeman and fencer are not 7m by any stretch of the imagination. Unarmed always has a slightly longer reach for autoattacks.

So funny that I changed my signature for it.

Seriously, I don't understand what you're talking about. Autoattack is what you do if you're not using specials, right? I can do that from 7m as a Pikeman, using a LVA. As a TKA I usually had to stand 5m from my target to hit it. 4m if I was using VKs, but maybe they've changed that since then. In any case, I still claim that all melee weapons have better range than unarmed or VKs, be it autoattacks or specials.

Yup....lol Are you sure you're playing the right game?...
