Nuthin bother me more than holo DE's. I never saw another DE before chrismas holos. Now I see em everywhere.

I was a crafter before I opened my first holo. It showed me the light, and I let go of the crafting tool, never to touch it again...

So what catagory do I fall under? Part-timer? TKA Tourist? None of the above?


I started TKA because, well, as a Master Smuggler, I needed brawler 4000. Nothing else realy interested me besides Pistoleer. I literally "fell" into TKA by dropping the pistol everytime the enemy closed with me out of habbit (good way to earn both the pistol and unarmed XP, plus it seemed "in-character"). Now it's a given, as soon as the meele MOBs get up-close and personal, I pistol whip them to the deck and switch to VKs to mop em up while the're down.


Yeah, I have Armor I barely use, and sure there are weapons I could whip out and slaughter the scum I'm pummelling (/lowBlow;/LastDitch), but I dont cause... I dont always feel like it.


So am I a TKA because I wanted to be "uber" PvP/PvE? Nope. Cause some shiny blue thing told me to? Heck no! Because I'm interested in TKA? Bah! I'm a Smuggler. TKA is just insurance, and a darn good idea, not a way of life. Still, I'll likely master it, and no, I wont teach what I've learned to any FotM, Hologrinder, or other OOC screamer following me around spamming "/shout T34CH M3333!!!!"... Though I might just put a blaster bolt where your heritage used to be.

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!

While this is a tad off topic... I STILL never see DEs, haha. Back right after release I was one of the first DEs on the server (back when Kor Vella actually had people in it). I remember selling my first mouse droids for 3000c, and my fugitive trackers for even more!

I actually picked up TK as a holo grind, though I was thinking about doing it for a while. I like TK more than my other profs which is commando, I didn't know it was such a good template before I even picked up brawler. Anyways, I like it and will probably drop commando once I master it and keep it for a while.

I'll admit, I'm sort of a Holo TKM...but not how you think. When I decided to start my grind I realized I'm gonna need to protect myself. So I started looking at Fencer. Well after getting 2 boxes, my damned sword broke (bad repair). So I went up unarmed. Once I hit Novice TK, just novice mind you, I knew I'd never ever ever ever ever ever ever drop TK. It's the perfect class for a holo grinder. You can still participate in hunts and just generally defend yourself, without sucking up a ton of skill points, so you still have the flexability to grind those things the evil little boxes tell you to grind.


So yes, I'm hologrinding, and a TKM, but not cuz the box told me to (BTW so far my holos have been Smuggler and Chef, haven't used my third yet.)

I said it before and will say it again; you guys going up the treehave it easy now lol. You should have tried unarmed andTK back on the first month of launch lol. Ya i'm still a TKM and will be for all my swg life. Other proffessions came and went but i always kept TK.



I am not a dark jedi.
I am not a light Jedi
I do not see the light or the dark, it is all blended into grey.
Balance is the key, without it we would not be in harmony.

When we grey jedi get acknowledged then the real fight will start all of you upstarts will fall and balance will be restored.

Hologrinding's not such a bad thing. I have to admit Im following the mysterious voice in the blue cube. But the great thing about the holocrons is, they make you try out new profession you might not have ever tried. My first holo said Master Swordsman. I would have never even considered that one. Now, I absolutely love swordsman. Im going to try my best not to give it up. Master Scout was second. (did that in a day) now the 3rd is tka. Something I probably wouldn't have tried either. But after my great experience with swordsman, Im really looking forward to trying out this new profession.

I never done hologrinding and don't think I ever will just because it's not my thing.


After mastering Bounty hunter on my first char I got a second account and decided I would make a pure pve character that only needed to tank mobs and kill them fast.


I'm currently novice tka and novice fencer and gonna get them both to master and so far I'm loving it to hit things with my bare hands and feet.
I don't care how long I have to grind to get master tka but after getting it I don't think I'll ever give it up.

Heh, well how about those of us that are both? I started this game to be a Bounty Hunter, but like many, I swore I would do whatever I had to do to be a Jedi. I was also very interested in the Teras Kasi proffession and always intended to make a TKA character once I hit Master BH (this was when getting MBH took about 200+ hours for investigation alone).


Well then came the Holocrons. As fate would have it my fourth (and final) Holocron was TKM. I've held on to TKM ever since, and will as long as I can. Yes, I'm grinding proffessions, but I plan on keeping TKM as long as I can, which means until I go for MBH (I never finished investigation last time). With the changes to the unlocking method coming up, I've decided to stick to combat proffessions since I loathe crafting (BE nearly drove me insane, I'm just glad SOMEbody likes crafting). By the time I finish them allI will either have unlocked or the method will be changing. In any case I won't be dropping TKM until I absolutely have to, and then I'll probably level one of my alts up as one.


So in short, I'm both. I'm a Hologrinder but I love being a TKM.

I was bored with the game and just about to quit (on my way to TKM/Commando). I had done the grinding thing did Entertainer and Image Designer and well I was at for tusken, tka 0022 and well 800k burning a hole (plus the game sucked for me at this point bored to hell with it) so I bought a holo, why the hell not after all they were takign away perma death (the reason I decided not to go jedi was perma death) so opened up this holo and bam TKM, ever sense them im back to playing hours and hours a day. Last week or so havent even been working on TKA just running missions for cash lol but yea it was some new motivation I needed. Now TKA 0132 (not much more than before) but im getting there (almost 0143). Love this profession!!! I dunno what everyones talking about that says this easy profession, I think its hard as hell tho if you got lots of patience I could see how it could be easy to grind out but I could only take about 2 or 3 days of quenker missions now I live at for tusken (normally) because while the xp aint as good as quenkers its A LOT more fun. Hehe

Im doing the holo grind, and even though It the cube didnt say tka, I decided to do melee professions while I have master combat medic, though I'll have to drop some of cm skills.



You know what I hate, people b!tching about what other people do. Im having fun, tka is awesome. I plan to come back to it after the holo grind is over along with cm.



Unless people are in some way stopping your game play, you have no right to b!tch about what we do....with "our" time. Dont like, dont play.
