Thread: TKA since the 'big patch'!! Are you kidding me????????????????
Ok, One thing I noticed right away is the raping I took when trying to perform a special move. Here is the scenario.. Me (A TKA Master) vs. one Tusken Raider (who cons dark blue to me). I beat him with him shooting me once for little damage before I engaged him. He never hit me again and I used 4 special moves on him and was under 1/4 on all my stat bars!!!
What the heck is wrong with that scenario?!?!? I have three things I am going to point out here in this thread.
1. A TKA master is not going to nearly drop over because he uses a knockdown move a few times!! I am getting raped for 100+ on all my bars for knockdown 2!!!! Since 99% of people in the game have one low stat (usually 400 - 600), that means after 4 knockdown 2's they are dead or close to it, I was. That is without taking ANY actual damage from another being. This isrediculous and needs to be LOWERED!!!!!
2. You devs said that soloing can be done and is an option for those who like to do so. Well I took TKA so I could solo when I wanted to and just spend time by myself adventuring or hunting. That has become basically extremely difficult and irritating now since I can't defend myself against a white con without dying or close to it. I am a TKA Master for crying out loud! I should be able to defend myself against multiple whites if needed, even a few yellows!! Now I die if I have 2 opponents of white or harder!
3. I don't use vibro knucklers because of the HAM drain they already had before the patch, but I saw a friend TKA use them and the drain is even worse for him!! It is really a joke to have such a huge drain for these special moves, they aren't really that great anyways (with the exception of knockdowns and maybe unarmed hit 3). Either you have to lower that HAM cost or you need to drastically raise the damage we do because TKA's are a joke like this.
In closing I have a few quick comments. A few friends are considering not playing any more becuase the game is so incomplete. I have talked them out of it and with this patch, a lot of good things have come about and so many more things are on the way, but I will tell you one thing... I am very displeased with the HAM drain on the TKA special moves.
DEVS! Either give us all 10,000 HAM points (yeah right!) like everything we fight or drop the special move costs back down.
Basically, a TKA is what really attracted me to this game the most. With the way it stands I will either stop playing all together or try another profession for a little bit, get bored with it because it's not what I want to play, and quit anyways. I'm sure one person doesn't make you all care much, but this profession has really taken a lot of negative hits since Beta (yes I was in Beta) but the profession was still fun, now it is irritating and rediculous to play. I'm a TKA master who can't defend himself against multiple opponents of dark blue and has the possibility to get whooped by a white con, COME ON!!!
excellent.
couldn't have typed it better myself. 
ssess shreta
Ahh, Corsec officers. Easy pickings. I can attack every 1/2 to 3/4 of a second on normal hits, about 1 second for special moves. Basically Roland the main topic here is that if you tried to use KD1 or 2 on 5 people, you would have died for sure because of the HAM costs. Take on 5 ST's (Stormtroopers)when they are white con to you and you will understand where we are coming from. You won't make it past 2 of them unless they both run right up to you and stand there (which rarely happens with ST's), I promise.
And thus to recap, a TKA MASTER cannotdo what they should be able to do. A special move should not rape your HAM bars and there is no way your going to beat even 2 white coons at master TKA level without some real luck, pretty pathetic!
I couldn't have written a better message MasterGraith.
With this nerfing patch we became so weak that we can be defeated by a white... I wonder if you devs thought about this...
Do you play your own game ? did you looked anywhere else to see how they do patches and how they talk to players ?
I'm an old Everquest player, and I never saw a patch applied like that. Look at what the people say, 90% of the players start to have a VERY bad feeling about this game ! Starwars was, is and will be a myth, please don't break it making players hate your game...

What kills me the most is that the patch said it had increased unarmed special move damage!
How can anyone expect us to take all of the damage and deal next to none? I got owned by a few cadets today! Thats right people cadets! In groups I used to take damage, but I could survive... Now I have to use three or four heals!!! This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my entire life. It took everything in me not to sacrifice my skills tonight. MARK MY WORDS: I swear to God himself that I will not pay to test this game for one more month unless something changes.
THey haved rape us every patch since release. I had a friend tonight using knockdown with a lightning cannon.... he took less HAM damage from it than me using knockdown1 with no knucklers!!! He saved my life using knockdown on a cadet! A CADET!!!!!
Where is our corospondent? THIS IS UTTER AND COMPLETE NONSENSE! I cannot scream loud enough here. Other classes complain, but the only damage they take is special move damage. I am a Squad Leader/TKA and am officially useless. I have two useless class.... Squad leader Sux, TK Sux. The sole reason I got this game was to play a TKA.
What is an even bigger joke is that according to sony and Lucas, TKA are the balance to the Jedi. That the Jedi fear/respect the TK... well the jedi are going to get owned my cadets if that bears any truth. WHAT A CROCK!!!! I am going to be giving away several thousand dollars and a full inventory on sunrunner.... look me up.
I agree. I am novice TK...I am a fan of knucklers, but the drain is soo gay now when knucklers are equip that is makes knucklers almost pointless or you have a choice...use knucklers...or do moves....
I don't know who comes up with these changes but someone needs to change who does....TK's are screwed now.....it was hard enough for me to solo in the first place...now it is impossible....
DEVS PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!
I have seen some posts by Thunderwulf, our correspondent. He's as annoyed as we are. Am sure he just can't answer every post, and I am confident he's at least sent a nasty message to SOE for us all.
And yes, only class I was interested in when I purchased this game was TK myself. It's a most upsetting time. Thunderwulf will try to help, but I am sure his appeals for reason will fall on deaf ears at SOE.
