2) Ranged Combat – TKAs have sever 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.

That is without a doubt the worst public relations answer you could have given. I think you owe us an appology for completely ignoring our issue and worse still mocking us with your answer. So, not ever being able to hit a character who is running away from us because they run at the same speed is a tradeoff for the power of close range? You say if we can catch something we can kill it, well we have no means of catching anything that is running away from us at the same speed as we are. I checked today and, sure enough, people can still shoot through hillsides, too. The "power of close range" is a mistaken statement as well because even when we do manage to close quarters we're not able to do damage as fast as most ranged professions can with special shots. If we manage to catch the person we're chasing we have no means keeping them in close quarters, either. Your answer to this question mocks us with its contempt and I feel as many other TKAs do: we deserve an appology for such a glib, contemptuous response.

Ok how silly is that? You know what happens if I get in close? I knock him down, drain half of my health.... he gets up pistol whips me (Draining the other half) and if that doesnt kill me.... he runs away shooting all the while. But if I could just catch him!!!!!!!!!!

If you could just catch him, you could hit him for the same damage he hits you for.

Why do they let people using ranged weapons run at full speed while firing? Why can they use specials while running at full speed? Seriously, why? What gameplay goal does that accomplish?

The developers talk about the realism of ranged beating melee but they let the realism argument stop the second it hits a class outside the realm of melee. Nevermind that there is nothing realistic about SWG and that fun should outweigh "realism" concerns in a game like this. If I want realism I'll walk away from the computer.

Vortex, that's a good point that I didn't really consider. We aren't the masters of close range combat because any ranged class that is in close quarters with us 9is doing the same amount of damage, if not more, plus they've been hitting us the entire time we're running up to them. I really would like more people to post on this thread. /sign it or whatever, but we deserve an apology or at least a response for Q3P0's flippant response to a major issue of ours when his response to pistoleers was this:

6) Duel Wield – Players would like to be able to duel wield pistols.


This is a great idea. We might be able to do something down the road.

Giving Pistoleers a second weapon is a great idea?! What?!

This istotal BULLSH!T. I am shocked...my hours spent , my saturdays WASTED. All I can say is WAY TO GO and CYA LATER....Im going to quit this game when my month runs out. Why risk getting nerfed again and having to choose ANOTHER proffession. This game is insane...you devs just gave into the whiners who cried about TKA when they gotkilled because they lagged and were smacked up.

what a waste of money and time

Isn't it "Dual" wields insteald of "duel". Threw me off on what was being said there a second. :-\

It is Phiber, I just didn't see any point in picking apart the poor nancy gunman's spelling. If we stopped to point out every phonetic alliteration we see on the boards we'd never be in the game.

LOL so true, so very true. I don't know about anyone else but I don't like playing this game anymore as a TK Master. I'm not going to raid anymore towns. I'm going to server as Bestine Defense with Jeht Black and his two AT ST's.

That's about what I have planned for my TKA when player cities come out. Unless changes are made TKA will be pretty much only useful as militia (because we can /warn and attack from our range) and cantina bouncers in player cities.

So Stringere.. when are you going to take me out for a Tattoine sunburn or something?
