Thread: Pistols should do about 1/4 the dmg of TKA or any other melee classes.

The highest I've ever seen a TKA hit a mob for was like 2400, the highest I've seen a pistoleer hit a mob for was about 2000 or so. This shouldn't be happening. A real bruce lee badass kung fu dude should be able to kill a marksman in1 hit or so.


Like in real life, there are plenty of people who can take 4 to 5 pistol shots in the limbs and sometimes even chest that will fight and live with or without medical attention.


A hard ass kung fu dude can break your **edit** in one punch or headlock thing. They can also disarm people, and a TKA should not be able to be pistol whipped under any circumstances. If they can block/dodge punches coming in at 5 times the speed of somebody with a heavy gun, then I think they should be able to block/dodge pistol whip with no problem.

No. Lets keep this game fun. We have some things going for us, and they have some stuff going for them. Let it be.

You're right, theres nothing more fun than when a pistoleer can beat you senseless up close and far away. Good idea, I feel dumb. The good side is that only about 85% of combat classes have pistoleer skills so that means that we still have 15% that can't beat our asses too bad, still beat our asses, but at least we can take 1/2 of their HAM down with us.



TKAs are the gimps of melee? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. TKAs are the gimps of SWG.

Damage numbers dont matter much to me, it damage per ammount of time. Also important is the ability to actually hit your target at a given distance. Here should be the distincton between melee classes and marksman classes. The game has a good general Idea, but still needs some tweaking.

- I support keeping & balancing the current combat system You can too

Whoever said "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight" was right; it wouldn't be fair. I can kick your butt without the knife.

I really wish there was one thread on this entire forum that couldn't be paraphrased, "Ow, my vagazz hurts. I know I should clean the sand out, but i'd rather cry about it."


TKA is just one of THIRTY THREE classes, butaccording to you whiners, we should outdamage everyone, and be invincable in pvp. Specials should be free, and you should be able toreach master by clicking one button.You bitch constantly about balance, but look what you want. Everything handed to you on a silver platter.A class does NOT have to be the best ateverything for you to enjoy playing it. Go play that disney mmorpg, this one is obviously toorough on you.


And **edit**, that "Bruce Lee is a god irl, so i should be a god in game"line is getting pretty effing old. BOOOHOOOOO.... My heart aches for you.You put ANY unarmed martial artist 20m from a skilled marksman who wants to kill him and he is dead. I honestly doubtanyone would be stupid enough to try it, and I doubt their finalgasping words would beabouthow they should have been able to do it as they lay bleeding on the ground. Im sorry, but you need to live with that fact.


But wait! Teras Kasi in the star wars lore is ubber! I want to be ubber too! Guess what, that would make for a game even more hopelessly out of balance than this one is. To have even half the power you would want from the lore, there is no way it should be even as close to easy to master as it currently is (yes it is, live with it, i don't want to hear you cry more about leveling).


TKA beat a jedi on some webpage thing! I show it as evidence to the true power that i should unlock! Read it, the jedi didn't use any jedi powers, and he kicked the tar out of all the other tka he fought except one guy in the finals who took 40+ minutes to defeat him.


Please, in my heart of hearts, I really want to log on to this forum every day and see 10 new threads crying over the same 2 topics every day, so just ignore this post. Carry on.

I love it when douche bag nerds like elphive write an essay on how they think a post is stupid and not worth their time. Well, he's probably coming in here to vent because he has no game and gets picked on alot. Keep it up, I'd rather see angry posts than another unibomber.

Sorry to burst all your bubbles. I don't support Pistoleer in any way or anything, I am a TK myself. But in *Star Wars* Pistols actually hit VERY hard, the thing is, you are sacrificing range for major damage, that is how itw orks with BLASTER pistols in Star Wars. You could even UP pistol damage, the whole thing is the range needs to be cut short.

Sorry but shoot someone with a .45 APC or .50 and no way hes gettin up. Hell in 5m you could unload a full clip before he could close.
