All polearm moves are now animations of basic attacks, leg hit, and lunge... no more cool insane spinny moves that made me master it and spend about 20 million on it... now im down 20 million credits, all my good stuff is going down the toliet faster than a fat mans shjt, and well the moves just look gay...
among other things...
great job devs, made our days as wacking stick users so much more exciting, (the whole poll of1 - 5 funness factor and having 76% or so have 1 should have given you a hint to uhh ya know, NOT DO WHAT YOUR DOING NOW?)

There are still animations for lunge, leghit, and spin attack. That's it.
It's bland. I miss my old stun2 and hit3.

I am still here and will be. I might add TK for some extra tanking but Master Pike was my first Elite profession and I am not changing it. Played for a couple of hours yesterday and plan to play more today andI have thouroughly enjoyed it.
Obviously there is still a lot of bugs to be fixed, but i am here for the long haul.
Looking forward to trying some of the new Pikes as well.
Cheers!

well for the last 6 hours i have been playing and pikeman suck!before the cu it was a fantastic prof and i would never have changed it,after the cu its just a joke,ranged just takes us apart now!all my nice lances have now gone the ones ive spent millions getting or weeks looting all brought into line and r worth jack,i have no way of making cash to sustain my toon anymore ,i used to go out looting to sell off to make money,earlyer 6 of us went out to dath grouped and all got wasted in minuits, there is no way im gona take 9k missions and spend hour after hour doing these boring missions for not a lot of cash.i can understand for some ppl the cu is a good thing but for me its just the end,most of my guild is from the usa and im from the uk so grouping is gona be a prob unless i stay up till 4 am everyday.i no the devs have to fix a few things but unless things change for the better (in my opinion)i just cant stay,il give it a short time to change but i really dont hold much hope

I hated it aswell, but trust me once you master the new icons and find good combos its actually as good as all the other melee proffs, if not better.
The old animations are still there, but it seems to select which one to play randomly depending on which special you use (the higher level the move is the more fancy it looks), also don't forget you can now use specials from other proffs! (aslong as they are still melee ones for melee and ranged for ranged)
I have been soloing krayts and nightsisters all evening 
Oh yea get rid of the LVAs and get vibro lances

Maybe you should play more or something because I clearly see this happening. Even for specials like leghit, sometimes you kick them, sometimes you spin etc

Ditto.
As previously stated, leghit, spin and lunge retain animations. The vast majority of animations are totally gone though. This is not for lack of playing or looking for them. If I actually saw myself do a good animation I'd give a yelp of joy and report it.
They're just not there. Anyone who sees them needs to get off the drugs.

In the CU, things have gone completely the other direction havnt they? I've tried all the melee classes, and none could shine a light to the awesomeness that is pikes. I have some pre-cu VLs that converted to WAY better than anything I can craft right now (I'd have to have like 40 experimentation points to craft up to even get close to the converted VLs). I used to be a big swordwhore, because they were hands down the best out there (TK, eat your heart out), but now nothing can shine a light to pikes. I'm going MPikes+MBrawler (unless the ranged profs are magically better than everything out there).
