Pikeman Archive

yet another patch and nothing. yea center of being woot! its almost not even worth it. btw im a swordsman, we got some pretty red things that follow our sword, center of being, and our second mind bleed was moved down to the 3 box, were it was supposed to be.

but at least we got SOME attention, and for all you true pikeman (dont mean the holocronized ones) bravo, and have hope. they cant ignore you for too much longer, and then pikeman will see the light.

well, just wanted to let ya all know i was feelin for you.

Pikemen, you're like the brother (sister) class of Droid Engineers. Hope you guys get some love soon.

Kerjo Eatwar, Starsider
Droid Engineers for Pikemen

In this last patch we got an accuraccy bonus, new visual effects, and center of being. After this patch I have no problem soloing white con creatures (for me as a (2,1,2,1) white cons are stuff like dewbacks, desert squills, dune lizards). I dont think they are totally ignoring pikemen.

That is very nice of APEist and Kerjo to post their support for a class that gets ignored so much, they won't even mention us by name in the patch notes... they just make us figure out what it is they changed for us. Thank you for taking the time to post here. I hope droid engineers get a huge overhaul soon, so this game is no longer overun with pets (this is coming from a disgusted Creature Handler). To avoid using CH as a combat crutch (because I really do love the class and training animals), I decided to tame only animals I enjoy, not the best creatures for my level. Before this last patch, I used to be the only handler running around with my beloved carrion spats. Needless to say, Icannot walk anywhere now without seeing spats all over the streets. At least pikeman is a better class from this patch, and I can still feel somewhat unique (despite the holocron pikemen that have doubled our numbers recently)...

This is true, but every the other melee proffesions got the same bonuses, and for some even more.

well, i just dont think the devs have the right priorities. they concentrate on fixing the professions in the worst condition first, not the ones that whine the most or have the most ppl. just the fact that they have a ton of ppl shows that it cant be that bad.

yea, all these new holocron noobs who keep coming to swordsman are becoming anoying to. just wanna grind through the thing as fast they can, with no passion or likeing for it, so they can move on to the next profession, all just to unlock a fs slot. lol, suckers. yea it might be cool to be a jedi, but were the ones who are gonna be having fun, not having to hide and run away from everyone, not talking to ppl, not hunting with ppl, and not hanging out in cantinas and cities.

yea, i was in big support of pikeman, chef, droid engineers, and tailors pre patch, but now its just you all and the droid engineers. thats cause the food bug was fixed and that ridiculous 5% decay was put in and now the tailors are livin it up. is it just me or have you seen a lot more ppl running around in their boxers lately??

well, good luck, and have fun.

sorry i meant to say the devs need to concentrate on the most severely gimped professions first, not: the devs concentrate on the most severely gimped professions (cause we all know that aint true).

What the hell, either the game is or the dev's are trying to tell me something...I am Master Pikeman and CH but I picked up my first Holo, and bam straight to the darn moon...I have to Master Droid Engineer...now what kind of shiznit is that...I go from one over looked, under loved fighting classes...to now a just plain gimp DE...not that I don't have love for DE's but man ol' man...there is suppose to be light at the end of the tunnel not a gorge that I am going to fall into...come on Dev's show us same **edit** LOVE!!!! along with DE.

Peace!!!
