Thread: Why Pikeman arent getting fixed..
/sign
It appearsthat the primary focus of SOE is to focus exclusively on the wielders of ranged weaponry. Ranged weapons are focused on in the films (along with lightsabers). However, you are missing a large crowd of people in game that want to pursue melee weapons (or TKA). Unfortunately, I am displeased with my selected profession of pikeman. I feel the class is heavily overlooked. As a result of their poor performance in combat, I had to take a ranged weapon to survive combat for more than a second.
Please fix HAM Costs, accuracy, and blocking!
Please look at some suggestions to give the pikeman a fighting chance in combat and widen the scope of their influence in Star Wars Galaxies.

So, /sign;/sign;/sign! 'cause I want to be a pikeman!

Holy crap! I thought I was missing because of low experience (Apprentice Pikeman) and figured there was some special ability to hit more than once out of every five swings later along down the latter! I have been incapped by simple creatures more than once because I missed 6 times in a row, one strike every second, and all I needed to do was hit it one more time. HELP US!!!!

Under SWG rules, Darth Maul could be taken out by a pistoleer, because he would miss all the time and fail to block all the shots, then get eyeshot to death. This is wrong.
I chose to make my character patterned off a comic book character, Kir Kanos, one of Palpatines Royal Guardsman. One of the Guardsmens greatest weapons is his Vibro Lance. I thought, omg that would be so kewl, strong defensive/offensive melee and good ranged combat! Now i'm seeing that it's all mediocre or worse. Big disappointment.

Every month that you wait, for SWG to fix pikeman is money lost out of your pocket.

Rule #1
This is there intention, the longer they can
Rule #2
Every month that you wait, for SWG to fix pikeman, is money lost out of your pocket.
Rule #1
This is there intention, the longer they can keep you waiting for somthing to come out or even get "fixed" will ultimately drive the user to stay with the game. This was a topic discussed at E3 in 2000 about the effectiveness of massively multiplayer games.
Rule #2
as long as you are pikeman you will be unsatisfied so don't play it if its broken.
"This will ultimately keep you from having a chip on your shoulder about why somthing is not fixed"
Rule #3
if you're pikeman now consider the following - wait for the character to become unbroken and continue working on him or her, or just drop the skill and deal with it.
and on a personal note, I quit SWG not because I was mad that I had mastered my pikeman skill and found out that it was broken but because I got bored with it.
So maybe what I've written is just a bowl of "Cheerio's", I'll let you decide.

I'm not threatening to quit, though. Pike needs fixing, simple as that.
