You sure do like your yellow don't you?

- Here's some blue, just for you. Yellow just happens to be the closest color to the color box, which makes it the most convenient.

You can have your opinions, you have expressed them numourous times.

- Glad to see you've noticed at least that.

Now the people who think they could actually add some positive light on this subject will try to evolve it further.

- So what does "positive" mean? It seems like you think anyone who disagrees with you is a flamer and anyone who agrees is "positive".

You can move along to a new thread now. You've left your mark.

- I'm trying to discuss the ups and downs of this idea, not leave a mark.

- In my opinion, dual-wielding is just a subset of one-handed fighting, ranged or otherwise. It's not any kind of "elite" one-handed fighting, as it's not really better, it's just a different style. As far as I know, the developers already have this kind of thing in the works as an add-on to the existing Fencer and Pistoleer professions. As far as I'm concerned, any non-Jedi and non-GCW ranking system is just stupid. Did the bounty hunters of the movies have a special council or ranking? No. Certainly somse were better than others, but they didn't have an organization devoted to their profession.
Although I don't know this for sure, it is IMO that in order to effectively wield 2 swords at once, you should first learn how to use one. Hence the elite-elite of duel-wield of fencer. Someone who is really good at duel-wield could potential fight 2 enemies at once... I consider that as being good enough to warrant another elite on top of Master Fencer. With that being said, if we simply stuck duel-wield into the regular skill set, it would make them more unbalanced then what they already are. I agree with you nonetheless on the ranked system comment.

[...]the ability to hunt Jedi [...] should be the exclusive realm of Bounty Hunters, as they have no other decent content of their own.
[...]the ability to hunt Jedi without using the skill points for Investigation.
Ok, just thought I'd hit up on this subject real quick. Yes, the only content that BHs have atm is hunting Jedi. Some of us are trying to improve that however, and there is talk from the devs on doing the same. Also, TKs from my understanding (I haven't actually read the books so please correct me if I'm wrong) helped to keep the Jedi in check... or at least the TK order did. I'd also like to reference the next comment for continuation of this one:
- Why should we be able to put up a decent fight against someone who is capable of cutting through any material effortlessly, using supernatural energy as a weapon? Not to mention the fact that they practice parts of the same fighting style we do.
How was the TK order able to keep Jedi in check if they did not stand some kind of chance against them and their Lightsabers? Random thought: Perhaps instead of giving TKs this new ability to hunt Jedi individually as so many people seem against it (and admittedly it does have some flaws), maybe we should give them a bonus against Jedi when hunting them with a BH? As I said, that was a random thought.

- Master Marksmen are good at hitting stuff, yeah. But this game's Marksmen aren't actually trained to be accurate, it's just a title for ranged attackers. And as for the argument that hybrids will be able to do stuff, I think they should get accuracy and speed mods in their own individual trees as a solution (as opposed to making Master Riflemen/Master Marksmen even MORE accurate.)
Actually, with the way I see it, no it wouldn't make a Master Marks/Rifleman anymore accurate then what they are already. What I was saying was basically move the accuracy and speed mods from Rifleman and the like, and put them into their respective trees in Marksman/Brawler, leaving a few behind in elite skill. But when you add it all up, you'd still end up with the same numbers as before. As for hybrids getting the accuracy/speed mods in their own trees, yeah that works for BH (except for rifles), but it doesn't work at all for Commando. This was the most logical proposal I could think of. I guess basically I'm trying to find a way in which the pre-reqs of the hybrids isn't totally useless without screwing up the pure elites.

lol... I think I had better start writing down what font code is for what color... took me a while to find one that was pleasing to the eye Unfortunately Netscape doesn't have the handy color selection option that IE does so I have to go by the whole font color=#blahblah stuff What is that anyways? HTML code?

Hi,

I like this idea. Teras Kasi is not just a profession; it's way of life. So I think it is very silly if I can master 2 more professions in addition to TKM. Then Teras Kasi is just way to make money ...

It should involve giving up most of our 250 SP to be a high level Teras Kasi. By the end of the line, you shouldn't even be able to get novice medic. It is a way of life and it should require your absolute dedication. Otherwise, you go pick up blasters. ...

However, I think we should not get force-this or force-that. Jedi will whin all day. We should get meditation of higher order; ie you can do it standing up etc (but not in combat!). Instead of improving Powerboost, we should get more powerful version of "Equilibrium." some toughness improvement is good too. We dont need anymore accuracy or speed. We dont really need anymore attack varieties. More melee toughness.

We should also have SEVERE LIMITATIONS. First of all, we should make it so that you have to abandon most of other profession to proceed in the TK skill tree (Even Novice Medic!). Armor limitation is pretty good too. And, your can't be both force sensitive and be a high level teras kasi. This way you can feel free to add decent bonus to TK. (Yeah I am willing to give up all)

TK should be the road less frequently taken. Not every other people can be Teras Kasi Master, although many may know many moves of TK.

did i say TKA should be removed from the game? no

I did say TKA should not be as powerfull as you want it to be.

All i stated was that TKA was not in the star wars CANON

If you really think that gerogy himself sits there and reads the books than your dead wrong. He has some lawyer that goes over it with the author at the most.

at the least they just sign a few pieces of paper.

as I have clearly said before most changes are in meditate

Positive = If you don't have anything to say, but negative comments its best you just leave. You think they should stay the same. I don't agree with anything and try to come up with something to fix it. Complaining about it won't get us anywhere.

the ability to find them once you master the second tree set along with our VKs would be enough

Being able to sence force wouldnt require us to have force moves
