I just checked up on all the other proffesions' boards, and here is the pecking order as to who got their msgs answered...


Brawler - Carboneer (same time), Comando, Fencer, Marksmen, Pikeman, Pistoleer, Riffleman, Swordsmen, TKA, Then All other proffesions are still waiting to hear a response...


#6!!!! Alright! I'll take it I guess that is what you get for posting practically the very second you findout you are the correspondent. lol


On a side note between Brawler and us is about 6 mins, so they must have been written at the same time and posted in alphabetical order...


Also here is something funny I read from Q3PO to the whining TKA:



2) Ranged Combat - TKAs have server problems in combat. They are very easy to kite.


If you can catch something, they’ll die, if not… It’s a trade off for the power of close range.



lol now there are "Server Problems" I wonder why they are only affecting the TKA...


Take care guys,


Khrim...



PS... Yes it is6:08 and I am still on... I have pulled the all-nighter, and now I sleep, see you when the sun sets and I awake... Correspondent or Vampire? perhaps one and the same btw no offense to the TKAs It just sounds like you guys are complaining, and you have a lot more toughness then we do...

Umm... I think the pecking order may have been determined alphabetically...

the ones that were answered ya. As I explained the responses were probably written at the same time, then sent out to the proffesions alphabetically. BUT! As for those other proffesions, they have yet to be answered, so #1, or #6, I'll still take it.

Well, I'm not one to troll, but as I'm looking for another profession, I'm gonna say something here. I agree with Holo, TK's shouldn't be able to kill ranged unless they get in range of our fists, same holds true for every other melee class. But the reason all us TKs are complaining is because it costs 600 HAM to use a knockdown now. You think your HAM costs are high, you have no idea. Most of the real TK's accept the range issue, so make sure you link us to the correct whine. We are whining over a 600 HAM cost move, not ranged attacks. At least this TK is.

Silver,


Aye as one of the "whining" TKA, im suprised you didn't understand the point..which was knockdown VK equiped is costing in the 600+ range.


"We would all like to have an answer as to why this was increased so drastically. From basic player testing, we find that the HAM costs to using this move have increased 500 - 600%. For many of us, using this move more than twice will bring us to near incapacitation. This is a highly frustrating nerf for our profession because it hamstrings our most useful special. Considering there are other professions that can use similar knockdown moves for considerably less HAM, you can see our concern"



But then again, what was I to expect, you timed the post to see who got responses first..and that was important, the "pecking order"?

Teras Kasi are lethal,nearly impossible to knock down or unbalance(Just kidding). Facing an opponent armed with ranged weapons, high-level abilities enable him to evade blaster fire and close quickly(Not really)...

I don't know what happened to my last post (maybe I forgot to press "submit" ) but, I basically said this:


I realized after only reading the post that Q3PO made, that the quote was misrepresentative of the TKA actual plight. Having now read the full post on the question, I appologize for my earlier statement. My only defense is that it was made in haste and under a depth of insomnia. I sypathize with the TKA as I do with all other proffessions for that we are all in this game to help one another, while surviving the bugs, nerfs, and flaws in the game's design.

the TKA knockdown is no where near "on-par" with the polearm sweep......knockdown dizzy?...that is totally insane in PvP, no one can get up after you knock them down til the dizzy wears off, polearm sweep, all they have to do is stand back up, usually before our next swing even happens.......i like that dev's made it a "rare circumstance" usage for the TKA knockdown, because having such a powerful move cost less HAM then lesser knockdowns really sucks
