Raja, you probably read some fan fiction along those lines. Just stuff someone made up. It gets posted on these boards all the time.

I think my question was misunderstood 
I meant would we have the same type of clothing restrictions that jedi do? I'm not going to pretend I know anything about jedi, cause to be honest, I don't want to be one so I focus very little attention on the prof. I do remember reading though, that jedi couldn't wear some clothing like back packs or anything with modifiers? Is this true and if we are having armor restrictions, will the same restrictions in place for Jedi be put on us?
I can keep trying to reword this to make more sense ... if I have to.
I am not asking if we are going to be as strong as jedi or anything like that....just asking if we are going to be as restricted as jedi.

The jedi restrictions on backpacks are that they can't have them and their jedi robes on simultaneosly. Since TKAdon't have robes with modifiers there is nothing to prevent backpacks....
Some "clothing" is considered armor (like mabari shirts, belts, NS biseps, pilot helmets), those will cancel TKA armor.
There are no restrictions on clothing with mods

until the "So Called Devs" return with a verdict the psudo armor question and the such is still out. have you seen what they have done to this game...I has gone down the toilet with this combat nerfing... Mankind, i cannot believe that you are asking leading questions and restricting the questions; to you see yourself in the role as tank...HELL NO. Will all of you just wake up and look at this. if you kill critters with less level than you, you get very little XP. If you try and go after something 3 lvl higher than you it will do a 1 hit kill. oh...but you can group, oh please. then you are back to the little to no XP because it is divided. this will turn all professions in to the jedi grind and will take forever to get anywhere.I fell sorry the most for the crafters...1k ham and a bug breaths on them and they die. But you will all think i am just flaming a game and i will lose my UBER char. you are wrong. i have just started this game and i just got my first profession and it was TKA. Now these (probably the same jerks from my 5 years UO days) "so called Devs" are making the game unplayable. Yes i have tried the test center and found it more frustrating than when i started this game over 8 months ago. This game is a great game, good concepts, it only needs tweeking. Crap you "so called Devs" are acting as if you are a part of the spanish inquisition and are out to save all the souls or turtue the sinner who dare to speak up against you. Tell me...did the other kids pick on you and refused to play with you and this is your twisted revenge upon a world that did a so called evil to you.

Contracting yourself right here. Clearly you have not played test center because if you did you would know XP IS NOT DIVIDED. That is why grouping is encouraged now. If you are level 20 and you get 1k XP for a creature, if you group with 7 other level 20'severyone in the group gets 1k per creature.You just kill them 8 times faster, which means the XP is also 8 times faster. Maybe you should actually TRY test center before bashing it, no?

I would wait and see what happens whenpeople make master in test center... if our dodge is as good as everyone hopes at master,,,and our armor as good as a battle suit,,,I dont think somthing only 3 lvl higher then we are, is going too land a hit on us, or 1 shot incap us for that matter....I have a feeling only the real high lvl mobs IE nightsister elder, dragons, kimo's, and a few others will be out of our reach solo, and it should be that way.....we will just have too see what the higher lvl content is like right now they are only in mid lvl testing....

... as the descriptions in the skill monitor say u will loose all benefits from the innate armor ( wots just a skill ) if ur wearing any armor. theres nothing said about any kind of clothes and I dont believe they will change this. so things u should be able to wear as TK after CU are all BE and normal clothes, uncluding Ubese shirts and bandoliers aswell as they count as clothes since fixed ( they take CAs and Jedi can wear the shirts too ). anyway, as the new armor has no encumbrance anymore, but hinderrance so u wouldnt be really able to move/defend/deal damage. dunno wots in case if u have a second combat profession that gives u armor certification..... u still would loose the Innate armor benefits when using as TK but im also not sure if it would even work ( it may be the armor works as the defences currently....f.e. "counterattack" only works with carbines and swords but not while fighting with other abilities ).
tbh Im really worried about most of the changes in CU ( SWG will become EQ2 inthis patch
) but Ill stay until after CU to see if my worries becomming true or not.... TKM should be interesting, tanking Krayts and SBDs without any armor.... does it mean we would need a doc with us who spams healing "magic" every second? strange changes.....

So do I, luckly I'll just hide out in JTLS if the combat upgrade goes the way of EQ and EQ2.

I haven't been on test (my computer would never cope with the amount of players on it) but from what I've heard there is a damage multiplier for creatures higher level then you that leads to the instant kills with group level being alot more important then armor, defences or weapons.

TK was the second profession that I master in this game, Freelance Piliot came first. I tried rifleman, medic, artisan, but they soon bored me. Then I got to see one of my City Members(Starsider, Dant, TheGetto) doing these really wild spins and seeing hand glowing red and the numbers flying of the critter. Now with this CU...the numbers will be flying off me...and quick. I am so very depressed. I wanted to go jedi...screw that now.
