All polearm moves are now animations of basic attacks, leg hit, and lunge... no more cool insane spinny moves that made me master it and spend about 20 million on it... now im down 20 million credits, all my good stuff is going down the toliet faster than a fat mans shjt, and well the moves just look gay...
among other things...
great job devs, made our days as wacking stick users so much more exciting, (the whole poll of1 - 5 funness factor and having 76% or so have 1 should have given you a hint to uhh ya know, NOT DO WHAT YOUR DOING NOW?)

Well, I posted a few weeks ago how much I hated our lack of attack animations.
But between you and I and whoever else is reading, I heavily doubt 95% of Pikemen are going to leave the profession/game based on that..

I agree, if 95% of pikemen leave it'll be because they're all FotM dotmonkeys who are pissed off that their uber lances are no longer uber....
I miss our animations badly, though. I naively retain the hope they'll be added back in eventually.

I retain that little shred of hope too....
At least the spin (i think it is?) animation gives it a little more flavour...but...
I'm going to go poke some worrts in the face!

I think i'm staying pikeman as my standard vibro lances converted to be more DPS than my acklay powerhammers and 450 max damage scythe. And i thought swords was supposed to be best offense....pfft!

master pikeman is still going to be part of my template. I will miss the moves, but they were not the reason I stuck with it in the first place.

Yeah i agree. I really do think its a mistake that they're missing.. especially since most professions don't have any animations. The fact that we have like 1 or 2 still working made me think that they just threw in those ones for testing purposes for now. It makes no sense at all that they'd stay out.

Well, I never used to be a pikeman, but always loved seeing the animations. However, I was recently a mastercarbineer with high hopes, and borked skills, and ridiculous ham costs changed me to a pikeman on a whim, and I must say I have enjoyed it thoroughly on live today.
So maybe i'll be seeing alot more of all you on this forum.

Ummm the animations are still there. You guys just aren't paying attention. It seems that each attack has more than one animation. I've been havinga great time with my pikeman today.
