Teras Kasi Archive

Well if you guys would readour FAQs you would understand where he got this story at . I read the same story about the TKA keeping jedis in check. I guess you can argue with the devs but the story is right there in black and white in our FAQ. We are suppose to have serious powers that deal with the mind unlike the jedi who uses the force. But like I said read the FAQ. It was the first time I have ever heard of them but it even tells where we came from.

As many of you know, the common belief and idea, is that the TKA are the watchers of the jedi. We are meant to keep them in check, from becoming power-hungry. While I feel this is a just and reasonable way to assess the role of a TKA, I also think that for a TKA to keep a jedi knight or master in check is just plain silly under the current state of TKM. I understand that the patch has brought us up to a more tank-like status, but in some respects, we are over-powered. I have not heard of any other melee class being able to solo kimos or krayts.

If indeed we are supposed to keep the jedi in check, we would need to be boosted much more in all aspects of our profession. I love being a TKM, and i like the idea of being a watcher of the jedi. But in the current state, after padawan, all we will be able to do, is watch them kill us with ease.

I think the possable solutions for this might be to either add another tree to the TKA profession. An elite-elite profession if you will. Where if mastered, a TKA Grand master could at least slow down a jedi. In no way do i think they should be able to defeat a jedi solo. Rather it would require 2-4 Grand masters to handle a single jedi master. This is the way i understand the TKA be in the storyline.

The other idea, is to make master TKA harder to achieve by adding more skill-requirements. Make it a hybrid profession. This is a pretty self explanitory idea that i have seen in some other threads.

The third and final realistic idea, would be that TKA, atthe jedi watcher level, is something that happens in a similar way that becoming FS happens. But without doing all the professions, but rather completing many different tasks and quests that would help a TKA to achieve knowledge and understanding. Completing these tasks could unlock the afore-mentioned extra tree that leads to Grandmaster.

AGrand master wouldbe exactly what it sounds like it would be. A master in martial arts and inner peace.Taking on a great task such as this would of course have similar perils to becoming a jedi. Bounties and maybe a 5-10 perma-death. But no Tef. TKA were not known about by many, and thus would not be a known"instant enemy". Where as the jedi are known about by all.

I realize that i am dreaming, but if we are supposed to keep jedi in check in the current state we are in, we won't be able to. Many people are screaming nerf because we are finally able to win duals agains ranged and have become a factor in PvP. Right now, we need to focus on these current issues. But when all the nerf talk dies down, this is something that we will probably have to adress.

Tell me what you all think. Beings that you areTKA,i am eager to see how all of you feel about this.

PS. I am TKM on radient. Send me a tell or email with any questions or beefs, or if you just want to do some goodold timeTKA duelsand or hunting.

I will coment on this, so you have heard from me.

my guild mate a master swordsman, w/o any pets can easily own a krayt draggon 1vs1.

now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

Dear God whats wrong with me today, i feel as if i am in noob mode.

1) you wont find many TKMs soloing krayt draggons

2) i ment kimo dragons, and not the crappy oens my guild mate a master sworsdman can handle a Giant Enraged Kimo dragon very easily.

every fought one of those puppies? they aren't easy, and i dont even mess with them, she can handle them fairly eaisy.

anyawys now you really know, and as i said before, its half the battle!

I, too, would like to know what books TKA is mentioned as the guardians of Jedi power. In terms of Jedi Grand Masters, I like that idea alot. For one, it's a new challenge. Two, the idea of a grand master gives me an impression that meditation and powerboost would be uber improved. So, meditation would heal all wounds including BF, and powerboost would add thousands of points stat-wide for20 minutes. Now THAT would be cool. Of course, I'm not a master yet, so I don't know what it's like.

If this were to happen, whats the point of playing any other profession? They added TKA to the game because its unarmed, not so it could own every other melee class.

Oh, but i do think TKAs should get natural defenses vs jedi, that would be sick!

in shadows of the empire guri and xizor are both tka...

according to lucas he has no origins on jedi but has alot of history on them... the jedi were called bindu-jedi and they were a secret order until the rise of the republic.. none of this 4000 years ago there were jedi and sith crap jedi origins date back exactly 1000 years at the time of the rise of the empire

go on to starwars.com look it up on the data base search word jedi

/sigh Ok... thank you for the clarification Arcin.... but i still do not think that the TKA should receive any type of bonuses because of this story... Its a story and thats that... the devs will never go for this and neither will I, just for the reason that we get enough flack from the other professions the way it is that we are overpowered and we dont need anymore of that BS.

This story is wonderfull and all but its getting old really fast, theres like 10+ threads about this... TKA in SWG are NEVER!!! going to be the same as in this story!!!

Again i want to say thanks to everyone for the response. I want to clear up that a TKM in it's current state should not be able to even mess with a knight or master, nor will any other melee class. What i am trying to say is that who is then. I am more refering tothe Grand master idea. Of course it would not just require TKM, but also the other melee classes. It would also not be an "open class" that you can just choose to be. It would be an earned study.

Again, thanks to you all for the great feed back.

Psst.. jedi don't get dizzy defense..

*evil chuckle*

did anyone ever think that if "we're the watchers of the jedi" and we're supposed to keep the force in tact, that maybe that doesnt mean killing jedi. Maybe we should help defend them as well?

Good idea. We are kind of like them if the story of TKA's having a connection with the Force.I think thats what I'll do protect them

Man i love how these threads just keep poping up and getting so much attention from everyone but the dev's ... GEE did anyone ever think why... becasue it DOESN'T MAKE SINCE to have TKA more powerfull than the other professions... that would give us an unfair advantage over any other profession and EVERYONE would become TKA... Hell they could just chage the name of the game to TKA vs JEDI then.

If you people continue to insist that TKA should be able to compete with JEDI then TKA should be removed as an elite profession and you should have to unlock a TKA slot just like JEDI.... that would be the only justifiable solution...

For me i can really give a rats hinny about this and think TKA is fine... WHO CARE ABOUT THE STORY.... this game is not 100% in line with all of star wars history... Instead of chasing a dream thats never going happen, go play some SWG and have some fun.... GET OVER IT ALREADY.

Its a wonderfull story weather it follows true SWG history or even if its fan based... choose to belive what ever you want, but FOR GODS SAKE, please stop saying that TKA should be more powerfull because of it
