Pikemen

[GoldenEagle]

Hi, in the invasion server the bots with pikes hits too darn fast. Players have no chance to make attacks self. They use it like it was a knife and its a 1 hit kill most of the times. I hope you guys will do something about that because a pike alone with pike can easily take down 3-5 players before he gets SHOT or stabbed in his BACK. Its the only way to kill a fricking bot with lightning speed with a pike.

Have a nice day.

Seems a bit overreacted, if you just made a block and then made an attack, you've got plenty of time.

[GoldenEagle]

No sir, you dont got any time. Until you hit him 1 time he gets 2 hits on you

[Roran 13]

down/upblock 1 hit, get closer, block another hit, kill the now helpless victim.

In mobs, run. They are MEANT TO BE USED IN DAMN MOBS

Yes, one on one a pikeman should be quite easy to beat (unless he has a sword to switch to) for the player, as long as the human is patient enough to block the one or two thrusts that the AI manages before you get close to him. Pikemen are deadly together, but the players should fight pikes with pikes when possible, while the musketmen fire at the Invaders from the sides. Obviously against Sweden this isn't really possible since the Swedes have the longest pikes (unless players pick up dropped Invader pikes), but against any other pike wielding nation such as Poland or the Cossacks the player team can potentially prevail. What usually happens though is that hardly anyone equips a pike and often some players fight as if they were the only player and get in everyone else's way, which of course stops the pikes from supporting each other.

GoldenEagle, the pikemen can't hit you faster than you can hit them, either more than one is stabbing you and you didn't realise, or you are using a very slow weapon.

[GoldenEagle]

I still mean that they hit too fast.

The Swedes - beasts, they pierce the ceiling with their spears.

[Hugues]

The thing that annoyed me most the the pikemen that pike through the heads of the other bots to hit you and it's like pike spam, you got 2 head shot pikes and 2 body shots if you catch my drift.

[Thalamond]

I agree with GoldenEagle, the bots are ridiculously fast with pikes. I guess its because of Zero ping + too high polearm prof + strange bot stuff, that happens to bots cause they are weird and strange ( ).

= So maybe reduce their wpf in polearms  - just my opinion (and GoldenEagle's me fenkz)

[gaham1]

or just shoot them. That works too.

Miss fire ****s it all up xP

[NightHawkreal]

You can not rely only on one of the weapons. 

[Maboobs]

It's the swedish pikemen and cossacks that have really weird high one handed proficiency too.

[Soveliss99]

Only thing about pikes is that Swedish ones should have their damage reduced by like 2 damage each and pikes should not be able to stab so close and get a kill or do damage. Instead. They should have their knock back trait buffed.

Don't nerf mah pikes, they's mah babies.
