Far as we know, it's not in this TC patch. We might see it in another month or two, but I'm kind of worried that the bonuses gained from this type of system might make players a little too powerfull in pvp and make fights last much shorter....a bad thing.

I went from Expert BH with only 1 level of Inv to go, to Pikeman. Why? The holocron. And I have to say I have enjoyed the change. The BH grind was 5 months of lag, bugs, missed shuttles and frustration. So far pikeman rocks. I hope that they realize that many are doing pikeman and fixed the gliches. But thus far I have not encounter any.


Heres to all the fellow pikemen....."ROCK ON"

so far i dont see what the problem is, we do miss a fair bit, and HAM's a btich but im going for lvl 4 pike (brawler tree only at the moment) and am doing well.

I read somewhere, once upon a time, that the combat devs were considering a combat chain of moves. These moves, would build on each other, the longer the chain went, the better the damage or something along those lines. So, rather than spamming a single move, you would have to create a chain of moves that would increase your success.


Does anyone know if this is coming about? Did I just dream this up one day?


If the next move in the chain is dependant on the previous moves success, what happens with our crappy hit/miss ratio. Will we ever be able to string together a series of moves?

Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've created. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

lol, i know what you mean about needing 100k's of exp, but it comes fairly quickly... not quite as fast as i might like but thats also due to trying to master scout aswell

I have to agree with you IceQueen. I was so depressed grinding BH investigation I was ready to quit the game. Major no fun factor. I'm having a blast now. Yes, we as pikemen do miss too much, but the HAM costs are about the same to me as they were with BH. I learned to use specials sparingly.


The only part that sucks is all the wounds I'm taking now. Good thing we can afford medic too Dirt naps are kind of comfortable depending on your location.
