Thread: How come the only person with any balls in this forum is a girl?
By the way, PLEASE stop putting words into my mouth and others. Read one time EVER I have said the class is unplayable. I have encouraged people to take up the fun class, I have discussed my successes ..often to my suprise. You take anyone who has impressions diffrent than yours and lumps them together. It's simple, search my name and find all post by this user and find ONE time I have EVER said the class is unplayable. ....
It's just not all that it can be yet..

The problem with Selwyn is that she is NOT playing SWG. She is playing EQ or UO or some other lame Fantasy RPG where the melee character had to armor up and bear the brunt of the battle, backed up byMedics andother support.That isn't Star Wars. In fact, in the Star Wars milieu, melee characters are very often unarmoured. The Ranged Weapon users are usually the most heavily armoured. Unarmed and unarmoured characters should excel in dodge abilities. The currently do not. This is one of the things that all the complainants would fix. Selwyn would keep it the same.

Mean, but maybe I am cranky in the mornings. I begin to get the feeling if SOE placed a pile of dung before her, she'd happily tell herself it wasn't too bad, with a little sugar on it.
Extreme example, just saying unwavering optimism can get pretty sickly =)

Fact is, if you have a support character healing you, then even before patch you were 100% more effective with your specials, as you didnt at all have to worry about HAM usage. Thats pretty much the same way it is now. Get a good group, and your xp/hour increases, as you have less downtime. The thing most of you don't realize is that this is a MMO, if i wanted to play a single player game, id stick with console because there the stories and play experience are a hell of a lot more interesting then what you find in an MMO. That kind of mentality just goes to show that there is too much emphasis on solo combat in this game, which is rediculous when you think about the kind of game we are playing.

The only thing you guys are showing in posts like this is that you cant read or understand what people write. She has said many many times that TKA needs attention and that she doesnt like certain aspects of this or that, but you guys only focus on not beleiving what she says she can/can't do. Idiots...
Cool your jets there, Grimror. You're lashing out in all directions mindlessly now.
My post was meant in a joking sense about Selwyn's undying optimism. Sheesh, a little bit agumentative today there aren't you.
I think most people's beef is that TK's are not unplayable or that "it's so hard", it's more that "we suck at what we do". Any fool who has played this game for more than an hour could have told you that knockdown needed to get some changes across the board. However, the devs made a "band-aid" quick fix to the problem which left us TK's incredibly gimped. We can still fight, sure, but isn't it rediculous that we have to constantly lunge doing unnoticable damage?
If they really wanted to keep us from spamming a special, they should have just put a timer on KD (3,5,hell even 10 seconds would be better than our current situation). Besides, how realistic is it that we hurt ourselves when we attack our enemies, let alone that we can hurt ourselves many times MORE than our opponent? Do we slice our chest open with our knucks when they're equipped, or bonk ourselves on the head really hard when they're not equipped? So much for "Balance Conditioning".
if you did then that explains it all......
My own personal fear is that if they meant the knockdown nerf and it was not an error. If so, expect dizzy + lunge and unarmedlunge2 to get a HUGE ham nerf to make our knockdowns seem 'earned' by travelling up the tk trees.
I am not against folks still playing and having fun, just saying that if we lie here all complacent someone *will* nerf lunge1, dizzy and lunge2.
Just like the BH have worked around their knockdown nerf by using cdefs. One was bragging how he spammed knockdown TWENTY times and it only used 10% of his ham with a cdef.
One good nerf leads to another. I figure if we take this one lying down, there's just more on the way. The workarounds would be the first thingsnerfed too, for sure.
It isn't a matter of the profession being unplayable. It *is* playable with these workarounds *and* supporting professions like medic/doctor/ch/pistoleer, it just makes KD1/KD2 two more useless moves in the tk tree - alongside the combo moves (ugh *shudder*). Who's bright idea was *that* one, anyway?
"I've been soloing nyms on lok since the patch with no problems. 3-4k xp a kill and they sometimes drop some VERY interesting loot now. Will let you find it, just don't expect to find many. Some of you tka's who have taken up begging may be intersted to know you can get 16k per mission now if you could manage to get over how badly nerfed you've been."
Ok speaking of sucking ~ I've been trying to do these missions, but so far found that I spend most of my time dead. No, not because of imbalances in TK, but because there is so much aggro on the planet I can hardly get around! I guess I just need to be patient and step carefully - any other suggestions ?
