Pikeman Archive

Because if we ask anything about specials, attacks, weapon stats, HAM costs, states or anything combat related we will get the magical "Wait for the Combat Pass" answer, we've been there, we've done that and since we did ask the Axkva what else do we have asides combat discrepancies?

Personally I'd like to see Spin2 get a different animation from Spin1, I'd like to see the final knee thrust from Area2 removed since its you know an area combo and it finishes with kneeing one target, kind of wrong. Also the LegHit3 animation is like a lunge move make the model sweep low with the weapon like it does in the beginning Area2 move. It would be fun if the melee proffs had different colors for their moves, something like red for TKAs, blue for Pikemen, yellow for Swordsmen and green for Fencers or something along those lines.

I think I'd go for:

"During the last few Publishes, and from the notes of those to come, we've witnessed numerous new content added for every other melee profession save Pikemen. Through this time various Pikemen have noticed some Polearm type weapons lying around as decorations in NPC cities. Is there a plan about allowing the Pikemen some new weaponry art wise, since we are to understand that all weapon balances will be addressed in the Combat Pass; moreover what are the chances of having the basic lance remodelled since the current model as is does not show well with Pikeman moves as well as having some of those moves rethought since there are occassions where more than one special share the same animation."

It stands a better chance of an answer since the serious problems don't get addressed who knows we might get to look a bit sexier at least

Again, probably not a huge concern, but would help with immersion of the role:

To alter the stance of an avatar holding a Polearm. At the moment, it hangs down horizontal at the waist. It would look better if it stood on end (check out Lando in RotJ with his LVA).

Like I said, not a massive issue, but would be nice to see some love on that.

Pretty silly questions but

Are we getting any new weapons?

Can they colour our moves like,lightning blue or purple or something so people will at least comment us on how pretty(and useless ) our specials are?
I mean,TKs have red specials.Why cant we have blue?

How about asking if they are going to give us a band-aid so we can compete until the "combat balance", since it is still 2-3 months way. Something like a boost to our damage modifiers or how about a bonus to accuracy so out state effects actually stick. If we take longer to attack you'd think we'd have time to aim.

I agree.

Some colouring sounds like something the devs might be able to do before the combat revamp. And i really would like to know if they have any new weapons planned for us.

do not ask about combat...they are only going to say "that will be addressed in the balance"

so...in saying that i like the following 2 questions:

-when will pikeman get a decent damage tye. Like say restraint...that would make us very unique. Maybe something new like col on an arctic lance or something. JUst some help with our abaility to fight all the high kinetic/electric mobs.

-the coloring of our moves would be nice. The more general question could be "when are pikeman aesthetic combat going to be addressed. It would be nice to look cool while getting owned by the stun batons we cant over-come" something like that
