Thread: CU is going to make me quit TKM and maybe the game

"You alll need to get in there and test (like I do every day and bug everything weird over and over again) or be quiet and stop making assumptions."
Hmm... If I did that it would look like this:
Day 1: Bug, crashed to desktop after 10 minutes.
Day 2: Bug, crashed to desktop after 5 minutes.
Day 3: Bug, crashed to desktop after 8 minutes.
Dunno how that would help anything. And I'm a hand-picked tester of the CU. Just gives you a little insight into how well this testing is going.

I've been a TKM since 2003. I've stuck with it despite the ridiculous armor that everybody wears and the high kinetic resist PVE. It was my hope that they would leave TKM untouched and fix the armor and PVE.
Instead, what do they do? Remove a majority of my moves, make me slower, remove my combat que, remove my state defencesand to top it all off no armor!. Jeez, I preordered the expansion, now I may have to rethink my decision...
I also have been TKM/Doctor since launch. So I feel your pain. I, like Atama, am one of your Sandbox testers. If I login anywhere but Kassyk I CTD after 5-10 minutes.
I am dropping Doctor because I actually don't need it anymore. Buffs/Armour/"enhancements" are unneccessary in CU.
I am definately dropping TKM because the animations are gone, many specials are gone, and honestly I want to be able to wear the BH armour that took me 4 months to loot.
My Stormtrooper armour is now useless (45k FP's down the drain), the expensive Comp I bought is useless, heck asa TKM you are not certified for any armour at all. So what am I to do?
Well, almost 2 years in game, I'm not quitting! I guess I have to adapt. Bite the bullet, and drop the two professions that I have loved the whole time. I'm moving on. I'm hoping the respec doesn't hurt me too bad because now I want to go MBH/MSmuggler.
I'm praying the item conversion does not effect my ships or cause me to lose anything from my stirage. The crates upon crates of buffs I had are useless now too. Along with the hundreds of Med's I had. Point is, time to adapt.
If you want to be a melee player in the future things will be different. In honesty one of the toughest templates will be the "triple master" Fencer/TKM/Swordsman. Thats the only triple master available btw.
The CU isn't all bad btw. I know there's a lot of "Fire and Brimstone" going on in these forums lately. I like some changes I hate others. When we were choosen to be "Alpha" testers we had high hopes and intentions of safe-guarding our profession against the giant NERF bat. Unfortunately all we were allowed to do was sit in a forum for 5 months and then watch the "alpha" go directly into "Open Beta". For all I know you logged into CU before I did!
Again, I don't know what happened but everything went from "We will deploy CU when it's ready and not a second before" to "Hooray! CU Open Beta starts today!" with absolutely no answers or testing inbetween.
I'm not quitting the game. I'm guitting the ground game. If anyone needs me, I'll be mining Diamond Asteroids in Kessel. Otherwise I'll be killing overts in Deep Space.
/bowrespectfully
cause everything that made SWG cool for me is gone.. the new dances are nothing like I thought they would be like. the cu will destroy my favorite prof tka*fav cause of cool specials. and Iv been bord with this game already but the only thing keeping me on it was the "coolness factor" of it. CU=CD "Combat downgrade". I think they should call it that 
Cause they take away all i like about swg.well might as well pack up cause It's a little weird to play this game now. Cyaz

Ok I think a lot of this is petty crap. I mean animations? Please this is Test Center, they are and should be focusing on important things not trival crap like how 1337 your tkm looks when he is kicking someone. You alll need to get in there and test (like I do every day and bug everything weird over and over again) or be quiet and stop making assumptions. I have been TKM since 10-03 and it has always been an excellent profession. Be patient and wait or get in there and test, don't bring your uninformed and ignorant opinions into these threads, you are not helping anything or anyone by doing so. Yes there are problems yes if we help they will get resolved. If you don't like it leave, if you don't like it, strive to make it better, but sitting here saying how you heard this and that means ZIPPO.
Ya know...most of the people complaining HAVE tested it! I don't like to make waves, but i decided to test it as well...i DO NOT like the whole combat system, to put it frankly, it's garbage.
Yes, some of us liked the animations...I want my unarmed hit 3...I want my old icons back!!! I consider myself informed and quite pissed off thank you very much....I couldn't care less about the bugs in the system...I care about the system itself!! I want my combat queueueueu, and i want it now! I don't want to be forced into grouping...I like to solo ( and no, i've never soloed a krayt, graul marauder, or the correlian corvette! ). i just want to log on and have a little fun... but no, we need balance, we need colored icons (which are also garbage), we need TKM to be all defense (which it doesn't have anyway) and no offense (which is why people play the profession).
Looking at the new TC update, TK action costs are still too high, and attacks too slow. The damage is actually just about right.. if you were to increase the speed, therefore increasing DPS.
Defense still sucks, CoB is still worthless, and any fool can dabble TKA to get improved CoB as well as all meditate abilities. No TKA love so far.
Yep it is looking more and more like the end...
Sad but true.

Looks like Pistoleer and Pikeman will be the FOTM template.. If what Im hearing is true, and it sadly probably is, Im keeping the meditation line of TK and dropping the rest.
pikeman = people making a pitiful attempt at holding onto the past via warcry/intimidate.
