Thread: I see a lot of whining........
Hiya guys,
For starters I am just novice TKA, and yes I think that we got hit bad with the nerf bat on KD, and Berserk, at leas tthats the 2 moves I am used to.
Secondly, yes Pistoleer is way overpowered as was C-H before patch, no idea on how they are now....
Now onto my post.....
I see a lot of whining, "I will cancel my account" /sobs, "this sucks, anyone buying my account?" "Wow with this nerf I will never get MTKA if I solo" ´
This game as its other MMorpg from SOE, its supposed to be group/massgroup oriented, be with a couple of friends, ie a balanced group and you will still rape the xp.
A little history on myself..........
I am a casual player..
I came from EQ, had been there actively for the last 4 years, 110 PLAYED days on my main char, and assorted some 60 days on other characters on my main thats like 2640 played hours on a single account and he is not even that good yet (65 necromancer with 22aa, 65 is the highest level in EQ) And the Necromancer is one of the best solo classes in EQ
So..... My question to you, how good do you think you would be in TKA if you played NONSTOP for 2640 hours? Would you need 2640 hours to reach Master TKA, or less?
I just growed so tired of all this bull**edit** about wanting to get MTKA in or Master in xx profession in less that a week
Perhaps I am a super lamo becuase I am training expertTeras Kasi and I would really love to know how you can master TK in a weekeven before wendsdays patch!
Perhaps you are the real lamo.
Hmm...... sounds like you need to go back to EQ.

You see alot of whining?
I see alot of stupid dumfuks and your on the top of the list bonzo or whatever the hell your name is.
It'll take me more than a month of training on dathomir just to master TK and now with the newpatch perhaps never because the new patch has made master TK somewhat useless at the moment and not to mention a waste of skill points.

Gee PaulyX, I am so sorry. It was my fault for starting the TKA profession 2 months ago and having the time of my life training the skill. I am sorry I had gotten so much enjoyment out of the TKA skill before the patch.

Why do i need to go back to EQ??
I never said that I could be MTKA in a week, i just hate guys that wants to solo, and realizes that they will never be a MTKA in that playstyle after patch, as they cant solo 2 rancors. SOE games has never been, never will be solo games. Its built for grouping sessions, and like I saw on another thread far down below, 3 TKA where one was Master raped in 100k xp in a nights session. on Dathomir. Which i would be very happy with even divided by 3. With that progress it would take me what...............? 3 months of playing to reach MTKA, which in my opinion is still quite fast.
I agree with many of your posts Bonzai, that they nerfed us really bad with hamcosts etc etc, and those nerfes was not what my post where about, it was more directed to those that cant solo on Lok/Dathomor effectively anymore.
Boschka, I dont understand what some people have against solo hunting? So what is many people like to solo hunt. I have no problem with being in a group but I also love to solo as do most people who play SWG so why should those people who perfer groups foce everyone to group up?
You know that the current Ultima Online dev team which by the way has many ex EQ dev team members tried to force Ultima Online players into a more social game by making it more group based. When they released there plan it was called Dark Age of Shadows and 2month after its release Ultima Online started to lose its accounts left and right so now UO is nothing more than a dead fish in the water. I have played UO for 4 years and have put so much time in my account I dont have the hart to cancel my account.
You cant force everyone to play in groups 24/7 becuase it takes alot of fun out of any online game. Now for me solo hunting is hunting low level red NCPs. LOL.
DrBonzai.
Yes of course, and you are totally right but........
It should be known that SOE, WANTS its customer to group up, its their policy, and thats what they are building their games upon (mostly) and they are "awarding" players which groups, ie better xp as they can gang bang stuff that cant or are difficult to solo.
Its just 1 of the game mechanics, I am as well a former UO player (97-99) and am aware of the nerfes that were there to, but really do you think it was a nerf or game balancing when they patched the mob AI? so they wouldnt get stick behind walls, with a blade spirit or what it was called, poisening in the famous level 4 cave in Covetous? you know with the lake and a rectangular room with drakes and dragons.
As I stated before.......
I played a solo class in EQ, and we were quite good, for maybe 3 yrs, then they xp nerfed us with a patch due to latest release, almost forcing us to group for xp. As it is here.....
Ifany player wants to be a soloplayer than a group player, I see no reason why they are playing mmorpg like EQ/SWG in the first place, where the emphasis lies in socials and groups....
Nerf!!!! to answer your question
This crap about grouping is BS! EQ was actually said by SOE that it is a group combat oriented game. If they want it to be this way for SWG well FOOK them and maybe I will group in the cantina as I learn master entertainer. I for one solo do to my work schedule and lack of people I would consider grouping with. I enjoyed playing when I could and just going out and exploring and fighting some creatures here and there. Now I fear for my characters life leaving the city as if I get aggroed I can't defend myself.
Now grouping is great for people who enjoy it and like to do it but it shouldn't be forced upon people. I played EQ for years also and I thought it was retarded that fighting a creature(according to it con system) that was lower lvl or even same lvl as me could defeat me 100% of the time if I wasn't grouped. Not even a slight chance of defeating. Now I know SWG hasn't been brought to that lvl. Far from it but there is no reason why I should be forced to group. I should group if I want to or hunt alone if I want to. Now I am forced to hunt creatures significantly lowerconned than me. Prepatch I was hunting whites and the occasional yellow. Now after hunting 2 whites I eitherA. am dead or B. sitting on my butt meditating. I had no intention as you say to try and make TKM in a month. I just really enjoyed fighting on my own and not having to deal with other people grping.

Boschka, I could less if it took three years to reach Master Teras Kasi Artist if it was worth it. The problem that we are facing is that we are well on our way to becoming a totallyineffective, broken, andunplayable profession.
To make matters worse, the SWG Creative Director has just told us to just accept being farinferior in PvPbecause will will never win against ranged weapons.
It's great that this things don't bother you. You have the calibur that it takes to be a happyCommando or Chef in SWG.

Amen to that, brother! A player who solos 99.9% of the time here.
Hey, no one is forcing you to read these forums. Many people are upset and rightfully so.
