Teras Kasi Archive

Regardless we all are aware that TKA is not a perfectly balanced class. It's still very weak in some areas HOWEVER this patch shows the devs are taking steps to correct that. I think it's important to take small steps instead of huge leaps, otherwise they'll have to take a step back and EVERYONE (except me and a few others) will cry bloody murder because of the nerf.

Bare with the devs this game is basically just a paid Beta stage.

I hate to burst your bubble of reality but paying for a game doesn't give you any true right on saying how the game should be. The devs created this game in their vision, they have this idea on how it should work and they will make changes to follow that idea. Sometimes they will listen and please the masses, but you have to realize that they aren't obligated to do so. It's their game, we are only renting time in their world. We are paying for entertainment. When you buy a movie ticket or a concert ticket you don't tell the actors how they should act, nor the musicians what they should play. You either accept what they do or don't.

People like you are so used to instant gradification. Raised in a society of drive throughs and ATMs, movie tickets online. It's convinced you that you should have it your way right away. Well welcome to the real world, where things don't go your way, right away. 2 words for you to look into, "compromise" and "adaptation". Either learn to adapt, or learn to compromise.

well first off you have posted countless posts on this forum. trying to get other melee class's buffed and trying to say how underpowered we are vs comandos. and partly i aggree but thats besides the point.

the point is that now i see your not even a master TK, you havn't totaly leveled to master, and give up. For starters i dont really see why you even posted all those posts, when you arn't even master. NOT TO SAY that people who are not masters should not post. What i mean specificly is that the diferance between master TK and master power and some defenses is night and day.

End game Master TK is ahead of many professions, but still its not where it is needed to be for pure balance. Is the class the worst class? ofcourse not, and by itself it offers a great deal of power and defense, aswell as other areas of interest like: meditation, the new power boost, and adding VKs to the already high attack dmg we get. +185 dmg mods. check around do comandos get + dmg mods to their weapons? or rifflmen or anyone else? no they jsut get better weapons. while we get medicore weapons + our mods together gives us an advantage.

Id challenge you to take a look at master power and how much +dmg and +speed it gives you per box in that tier. Then look at what the master box alone gives you. its nearly double.

do we have issues? ofcourse we do, and its an on going debate because we have points left over to spend if we should improve drasticly or moderatly. We are a special case profession. although ahead of other melee professions, that doesn't mean we dont have room to grow. and we should be growing.

People pick things like doctor and ch for very good reasons. Not because we need them to make TK viable, but because they complement TK so well.

imagine being able to tank better then anyone else in the game (not including armor)and deal massive amounts of dmg frontload and with speed off on your target. Then suppose you could heal for over 1000 points of dmg + buff yourself more then what power boost does. Imagine the possibilities? exactly what heavy said.

although i dissagree that the TK profession should incoroperate advanced template specs to balance the class out. I believe the TK profession alone by itself should stack up to any combat profession in the game without coming out on the short in. what exactly consists of us being on top or being at a disadvantage is debatable.

If your leaving GL with ya, then again if your deciding to stay, id offer some small advise or insight: all professions are designed to have limitations that are to a degree, and that too is debatable on how much that degree should be, are exploitable by another profession. This is a safty net for balancing out professions. our obvious disadvantage is our range, and the ability of another class to kite us. our disadvantage in pve is our fast decay ratios on our weapons and the constant need for down time and heals.

think of us this way: we are high maintaince short fused (ranged) fire crackers that will blow more then your hand off if you get too close.

You cancelled your account? Good for you. Leave. I'm sick of these "I'm leaving the game" threads. No one really cares.

Obviously you care or you wouldnt have graced me a reply..thanks for caring.

As for the rest of you discouragers...forget it. I am not going to shut my mouth..I am not going to stop being relentless at trying to get what many of us in our profession want..so you can just forget it.

It is because of people like me that push and push and push that finally get attention to problems that concern us....If you dont like me posting then quit reading my headers.

Frankly I am sick to death of you fronters, hipocrites and flamers that want to take a bite out of me because you dont like me trying to stand up for our profession when so many others (Pikeman) are flat neglected...you should be thanking me if anything because we could so easily be those other melee professions so back off!

People like me keep the pot stirred and the attention where we want it...dont like it...tough...thems the facts!

"People like me keep the pot stirred and the attention where we want it...dont like it...tough...thems the facts!"

If your so damned important to this game, please dont leave! Please, with out you, the game obviously wont go anywhere at all. It will grind to halt and die if you leave. I mean, without "people like you" who post "im leaving" threads on here, this game is going nowhere.

Frankly, I think the people who try to have fun with this game with what they haveare more important the the boys who cry nerf. If you are not happy with Teras Kasi there are about 31 other professions. Take up a crafting prof, there's more to this game other then PvP, specially when you consider PvP is broken. But ifyou want nothing but unarmed fighting, then leave this game, and pick up a copy or Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, they be more to your taste.

Personally I am waiting for Thief 3 and Doom 3......I like Deus and Max Payne too. Thief the Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age are may favorite games.

You should read my next thread it will contain a trove of way points to all the cool places in SWG

No, actually you just *think* that you are speaking for the majority. The reality is, most of your threads are outrageous. For example: ''TKA SHOULD SUFFER MORE SKILL POINTS TO BE STRONGER? (i like it!)'' here you assume that every tka wants to be as powerful as a bounty hunter relational to melee, and in return, cost us an extra 100 points or more. You think that you speak for the majority? No, the majority of us think you are an idiot, and I'll wager that a good deal of us were happy when we read your 'good bye' post, and then unsurprised when we read your 'oh wait, i'm coming back!' post.

Yes, your ongoing effort to get TKA on the level of Jedi has really moved the devs. I noticed in the patch notes a line that read: Teras Kasi: As per repeated request of Xeonus, we have improved the strength of Teras Kasi art to compete with the combat effectiveness of the Jedi.

Oh wait! That's right, I forgot, everybody else in here thought you were an idiot for posting that.

And besides, for every chunck of banality that you post, I feel compelled to write something, god forbid some hapless noob should come along and take your rantings as dogma. There has to be some check against your idiocy, and I think that's why so many like me post every time that you make a jerk out of yourself.

Frankly I am sick to death of you fronters, hipocrites and flamers that want to take a bite out of me because you dont like me trying to stand up for our profession when so many others (Pikeman) are flat neglected...you should be thanking me if anything because we could so easily be those other melee professions so back off!

You pretentious, self righteous, steaming pile of bantha terds. Do you really hold yourself in such high esteem as to think that you are the single difference between TKA and Pikeman? Do you honestly think that your singular opinion, and all your pointless ranting and lame ideas really matters? If you were our correspondant, then maybe, just maybe I would be worried that your really bad ideas were being conveyed as the majority opinion of the tka population to the devs. Thankfully, that's not the case.

On a final note, if you really want to help out the TKA community, then stop making posts like these, and please, come back down to earth. You do have an opinion, and even really bad ideas can help in the brainstorming process to making really good ideas. However, as long as you think that you are the greatest thing that ever happened to TK, people will take you with a grain of salt, and likely won't give a darn if you drop the class, cancel your account, or whatever. So again, deflate that jumbo ego that you have going on, and perhaps someone will take you seriously.
