Thread: WHAT THE &^$#, DEVS??? Melee skills now WORTHLESS.
I bet the TKA designer plays as a pistoleer. You called "Do Over" on launch day I/We(cant speak for everyone)CALL DO OVER NOW. I can barely read the forums so many people are pissed. Heres a Tech Term your staff should learn soon "Roll Back". 2 weeks testing???? are you kidding me, this should have been tested for 2 months, MINIMUM.
I'm sure every profession is FUBAR, but **edit** 1/5 of my HAM for a KD thats bogus, and i was in favor of a nerf. I'm for sure Jedi isnt this hard. I had somewhere around 2,000,000 xp to go for Master ill see that in 2020, if i grind maybe 2015. Good luck with the wonderful PR your getting right about now I PRAY IT DROPS YOUR BOTTOM LINE. Might make you start to take your jobs seriously. Are you guys Professionals or hacks in a basement. /END RANT
This really is a shocker. I honestly did enjoy this game. Bug, screwed up quests, PVP(even though i always got my ass handed to me), **edit** imps, **edit** rebels, the shear beauty of the landscape, ect. Sigh.
Im done...after i vomit ill come back with constructive critisim to help the never-ending battle of fixing whats brokeor not broke.
This is horrible. I hate this change surley this wasa big mistake and it will be corrected. If not then buying this game was a big mistake and that will be corrected. TKAs were fine. Ranged vs TKA was fine, If a ranged could stay away from you, the ranged won, but if a TKA got his hands on you, you were done. Thats how it should be. Im anxious to see what the dev's how to say for themselves. They better have some loosened collars at work wondering how they messed up sweating how they are going to get it fixed before they lose all their players. I mean come on, work your ass off for a special and then when you earn it, it takes 1/3 of your life to use it! **edit**!!! I bet bleedshot wont make a BH put the pistol under his chin and blow his brains out. Dont do the same to us.
Just a thought,
If you want to use KD so bad (it's not nearly as bad as you make it sound) over and over, why don't you try looking up a high level doctor, donating for a nice buff pack shot. Find some spices, hook up with a Chef. Bring a medic with you. Every class is trying to turn the game into SoloWars and it's disgusting.Watching a TKA spamKD over and over whipping a mob taking virtually no damage is pathetic.There are about 100 ways to avoid downtime if you bring some other classes with you.
Get a group,make a friend,and quit your whining, or yes, you will be condemned to killing vrelts your whole career.
Maybe all the Unarmed skill person should send a email to the Devs!
They got to see our point is valid.
I was never of a big fan of KD spamming but if I've got to be the Ahole in the group that goes toe-to-toe with the Tusken Warlord then **edit** straight I want to spam some KD when I know the first 3 aren't going to work and the punk is going to 1-shot me when he gets around to it.
KD was quite possibly our only tool (maybe unarmed3). What we gained with KD we lost in range - fair enough. Now we don't even have that.
KD needs to be put back to where it was or improved even. Sure it was powerful against single mobs but thats what we did best and loved about the game.
And to any of you trolling riflemen, etc. that say we just need to use tactics now: being jumped by 3 yellow con aggros and holding them all down with KD for your group to whack them - that's skill. Go back undercover 55m's out and rip off a few head and warning shots. KD is what we did.
Please SOE give it back to us, or I for one am out. I can be a merchant in real life.
Aurilius/Starsider/90k combat XP from Master TKA (but not sure if its worth it anymore)

As nice as that sounds it doesn't work. I am a Master Doctor and have maxed Mind stats and I take -220 mind damage with VK equiped or -68 mind damage without them equiped. Before patch it was -64 with VK equiped.
Even at 600 focus 600 willpower and 1100 mind I can't use VK anymore. and the unequip - equip VK argument is not a fix but a work around. Does a rifleman have to unequip there weapon to use specials ofcourse not.
With that said KD NEEDED A NERF, but 2 times HAM cost not 5 was in order, and they should have increased KD resistance of everything by 25% over what it was. Nice and simple, you would think, BUT since on of the resists work anyway, they couldn't make a logical change and just made HAM costs insane.
We are paying to be in BETA 2, major issues are still being tested.
I'm not quiting right away, I will give the Devs a chance to change this back to the way it was, or at least really close to it. You have a few weeks devs. You hear all this talk about how this is rediculous, well it is so change it back! The HAM cost is WAY TO MUCH!!! Every aspect of the game is nearly impossible now for us.
After my fight with one dark blue con (I am a TKA Master) and being at 1/4 on all bars, I just stood their (realizing what just happened) and for the first time I remember what it feels like to be a newb because that is basically what I am capable of now, NADA! I can't hunt, adventure, or have any fun on my own by any means! And I hate trying to get a group together just to go do something, this SUCKS!
Actually using KD 3 with VK unequipped did nearly incap me. How do they expect me to get 450k xp now when im back to killing the same things I was before i even made it to TK. Its completely ridiculous.
If I want to spam knockdown? ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I wish I had a way to post a screen shot here. WIth Knuckelrs on I used 1 knockdown, ONE! and my HAM WAS AT HALF! THat is action and health. Mind was at 3/4. When a rifleman has to drop his rifle to do a special I will not complain abotu unequiping my knucklers. Sound fair to anyone else?
