Pikeman Archive

I don't know specifics, but every weapon in the game is being changed and new weapons added. I don't know if Pikeman will receive new weapons sooner or later, or if these changes will fix our current issues...they're being very quiet about it.

cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet!

so vague hehe, i and a friend of mine (both of us master pikeman) were beaten by 1 TKM, and the TKM didnt use dizzy/kd...i have also found our dizzy to be nearly useless

one thing i notice is tkas get meditate and combat equil for unique abilites, thats fine with me but id like to see ALL combat follow that 2 unique abilitie template or something like that, I know Gunman is moving and busy atm so I am just throwing my ideas down.

We will be pleased ?

Can you be more vague ?

I love the pikeman profession butit wouldbe nice tolet usbe ALOT more viable in pvp and not being forced to be a TKA.

The main issue I see is the current HAM costs and accuracy - what is the point wasting over 70+ action and health over a swing that misses 3 times in a row.

Also it would be nice to see something other than a Vibro pike, maybe something with less HAM costs and quicker speed, so we can actually use Pikemanin PvPwithout depleting our health faster than we are being hit

we gave you the ideas...and the problems...4 months ago...theyt havent changed

I am not sure, but I do not believe they chose a correspondent by whever applied first. It is my belief that the choice was based upon a combination of interest, dedication and knowledge for the PikeMan profession. As for the time spent playing a PikeMan part, I am sure this was taken into consideration as well; but let us not forget that some peopleneed less time to learn than others.

The biggest thing that bothers me, is that the correspondent isn't even chosen based on how long you've been a pike, or how much you play, or any of that... it's based on if you respond to their "ARe you interested in being the correspondent?" message first. I was asked to be correspondent but I was at work, when I got home and saw the message a correspondent had already been chosen.

Then you'd be wrong. I still have the email from the Dev asking me if I was interested, and I'm sure if you dig you can find the thread of others like me who said "Well, guess we responded too slowly", because they sent out the request to everyone who applied for the position, and the first person who responded got the position.

Why am I hitting my enemy with the butt end of my lance? Change the weapon shape or the fighting movement please.

you are absolutely sure of this? That is one interesting way of finding qualified personnel alright!

Been there, read this. TH has been promising concrete information for combat classes (and several other classes) for almost two months now, including several self-imposed deadlines that passed without comment. We'll believe SOE's statements about wanting to change their history of customer service and working with the community when (if?) it ever actually improves...

i wish we had a stun weapon , maybe change the dmg type on Lance for Stun , would make them useful

since they're the only one who got nice accuracy
