Pikeman Archive

Since when do they care how we feel about the class? They're just going to implement whatever they want anyhow, and then leave it for another 6 months before they scrap it in favor of something else. If it's good, 6 months of Pikeman being a good class. If it's bad, 6 more months of Pikeman being a gimped class. The optimistic side of me says that the odds are 50-50 on that one.

The pragmatic side of me says that when they say they want to hear from all classes, that they won't remember the Pikeman and Squad Leader professions and therefore won't put them into their feedback notebook.

Seem cynical? That's what 6 months does to an initially upbeat Pikeman.

"My searchwill involve visiting the various profession communities and reading their "State of the Profession" posts, plus spending my free time playing and experiencing as many professions as I can first-hand in-game."

"Players can help me by working closely with their respective Player Correspondent and keep their "State of the Profession" posts accurate and current."

I find his goals, path to achievement and searh for help to be a bit rough. Even so, he seems determined in some fashion, and no, not the wrong kind of fashion

Whenever the DEVs take an active interest in your profession, I get very fearful.

There has yet to be a "Big Fix" that did not take something away from us, or put us in a worse position.

Ever.

We have never gotten anything even remotely helpful, only nerfs, or re-structuring that leaves us scrambling to find a new way to do what we used to be able to do.

KD - nerfed due to other classes overuse. We sure didn't overuse it, there were 12 of us.

Block, CoB, Damage Mitigation - Crap, crap and uber crap.

HAM costs - same. Range modifiers - same. Weapon choice - poor.

Every time we cry, "This time for sure!" Every time we are disappointed or just plain ticked.
