Flat-out untrue. We have tried and tried on many occasions, just with no results at all. Posts like this one will not get read nor responded to, though it is a valiant effort. We have complained about being ignored since July, all to no avail. At least we been recognized in the past few months as an actual class in the game, and vague references have been made to some kind of help/fixes in the undefined future (see combat/weapons passes).

Of course, how I would love to have the kind of dev conversation you mention, such as the many TKA have had...but I think it is "safe to say that pikeman are not cared about" (as you said) nearly as much as other classes, just the wholly all-too-evident truth.

All the holo-pikemen have increased our visibility and artificially inflated our numbers with more people to complain about our issues. New communication changes are in the wind supposedly. Perhaps this will all add up to us not having anything serious to complain about at some point - But what would we do then?

My main Issue is that all other professions have had some kind of "conversation" with a dev threw posting and reposting...we haven’t...nothing noda...except for the one above...but we had to get a little nasty for that one...

We wait...we wonder...we don’t go into a big tizzy abut "uberness" and "suckige" we post calm and collected...(barring holo grinders being frustrated)...and yet we get no "Correspondents" between what we post and any answers to saying "yay" or "nay" or "that’s coming here are the #'s" or "you guys are going to get "X""...nothing....

While all other professions get visited by the "devs" and have there answers either answered or responded to...

Our answers are like our ability to hit the side of a barn...nonexistent...

This has been this way since launch.... and now only by coencadince...it will all be addressed in the "combat passing of gas"....

I feel we disserve the right to get a 4 page document of "promises" listing all that this pass will change for us.... it will be a milestone...

We have never gotten a full list of changes to even gripe about not getting...

I believe it’s about time...

So I challenge "thunderheart" to make a post that describes our changes and issues and what will be done to our class...if he cant come up with it then its safe to say that pike man are not cared about.

Things not to put in that document....

*"We will look at it"

*"We are aware and it will be addressed in the next publish"

*Anything that is happening to all melees...this may come with it but not be the sole of it

*"Can you give me more info”?

*"I am currently to busy and have 75 top 5's to work on" ...can you use that line enough? You have had 4 months for ours

*"We hear you and will be working with Gunman21 over the next few months to make Pike man unique." that’s great...what are your ideas right now? Give me #'s

*"There are some things in the works"...be more vague please I almost understood that

*"This issue has been sent to the QA team for further investigation."...We aren’t all children

*"We’ll be taking a look at these issues, expect them to be fixed in the combat pass"...no **edit**.... can we get some details that directly contribute to US!

As I said, the above are not allowed to be in that post....

So i am expecting one of three things...

1.No response to this challenge...and you can restasured that we are ignored and not thought about in this "process" of fixing...

2.More usefull "double speak", mite be interesting to read how good he was thought in school about misleading while not giving any info.

3.A nice post that we should have gotten about 3 months ago...but they were too bussey fixing the oh so broken BH anTKM.etc....

Trust me, you don't want TH spending any attention on pikemen. Look at what he did to commandos. He and another dev went on test center to do a test. Both of them were master commandos and dueled. Well since the master commando won the duel, TH deemed that commando must therefore be the most invincible profession ever in an mmorpg, and perhaps the biggest imbalance in all of gaming history (yes even more out of balance than the difficulty level of Ninja Gaiden II). I can't make this up, it was actually this rediculous. So again, you don't want TH having anything to do with pikemen. You're best bet is to let him get a hold of all the other professions and destroy them. Either way, here's to hoping somebody above TH stops the madness and gives your profession a serious look it deserves.
