So they screwed us over and you say we should be ok with it? Let me give you a little analogy... say you work somewhere and get paid flat 10 an hour then your boss will come up to you and tell you that from now on you are paid 5.00 instead. Would you want to deal with that?



They didnt fix any issues with TKA, they only made it stupid. Now instead of fighting and gaining exp it is hardcore survival, lots of downtime, lots of incaps / deaths type of game. This isn't fun, this is hard and annoying and difficult. I play games to enjoy and have fun, not work hard. Once this month trial is over, it's over for me in this game unless it is fixed.



Where is the fun in this? They just screwed us over. If I forget to unequip a weapon I can totally kill myself in one move. If I don't it still costs quiet a lot anyway. What gives? This is supposed to be knockdown not suicide. I am no osama bin ladens monkey going suicidal at a diseased nuna.



They should really return the game to the way it was and fix previous issues instead of just killing the whole "casual player friendly" base of it.

I never once took no damage from two red cons, never ever. TOUGHER? SOLOING? Hm, I guess if you like killing squalls or Kiwi one at a time. Explaine this to a new TKA and tell him/her they need to take out 200k worth of creatures to get to master. How long do you think they will play?

Im not telling you anything, apparently you like putting words in peoples mouths. Now we get to play the "I never said..." game common to all msg boards. When did I tell you your'e not fine? Fact is, its an objective sentiment. I myself am borderline on the nerfs, others are steaming, and yet others are fine. But you coming here telling people to pipe down because you "think" that they are fine is rediculous. Furthermore, you might wanna be careful about "finding a way" around the nerfs, as sometimes that could be construed as "exploiting".

How about taking one white now and oh look I am on my butt resting now. As for grping thats great if you have a grp you like and you like to grp. I hated grping all cause Eq so I grp only with friends(whom are all deployed in defense of our country) or solo. Soloing as you admit is rough now and totally rediculous hard. I was taking on a single female mamien and getting raped for HAM cost by the time the fight was over. It conned even with me and gives me a whole 560 exp. So does this mean that now SOE is forcing us to group or just screwing up and not officially admitting yet?

p.s. I hope to the good game goods this is just a screw up.

When today I clicked KD for the first time past patch a big number 600 (over 600 dont remember exact) came up over my head and my HAM dropped. Second time I did it I couldn't do it again I was all out and was incapped in one hit. Btw this was against a white con which had no chance previously before.

Ionspread... I really fail to see what you are trying to say or prove here? i have agreed multiple times that soloing is a lot harder. What else do you want me to say?

The vast majority of TKA are pissed off. We all payed for teh game just like you, so just as you are able to express your views of this "patch" we are intitled to our opinions, which just so happen to be the vast majority.

"Name three - or at least one, that I can verify is a TKM/Master Doctor and said this."


Ugh, any idea how many posts in I have read in tk alone? Searching for them hee hee...


Fool-on-the-Hill is one:

I'll have to agree. Im a doctor/tka and i can barely hunt at all... To those pure TKAs out there, retirement is the only option it seems. Wow, i feel like crap about this whole issue. Why am i playing a prodect to be talked down to by the people im paying to ensure my enjoyment. Hmm, that might change soon as i will probably not have an account if things dont change, fast.


That's all i can find for now, and that took me 20 mins =( Sorry, just doing a search for any mention of 'doctor' on the tea kasi board today... lot of posts to wade through.


There was at least one other I saw that I cannot find atm - was a female doctor/tk. Wish she'd speak up and save me the search time =) I figure the one is good enough for now, maybe fool can come elucidate.


And thanks, I respect your posts and your intentions as well, Selwynn, I am just a bit overwrought over the changes myself it seems =)

Whats positive out there besides that we actually still get to keep our title as a TKA.


They might as well rename our profession to "Master Masachist Artists", master it right off too once you get KD.

did you all not read the post by thunderwolf? you can just take off knuckles when KDing, put back on afterward. makes each stat pool down by 60 or so, 20 more than before. but for some reason you're all content to complain instead of trying new ideas


Does a Pistoler or BH have to unequip their weapon to get a reasonable KD cost?

Vegan still seems to claim he can do 800k xp in a day? Are you saying over a straight 24 hour period?


Your orignal post said you can do 800k in a night. assuming from say 7-12? 5 hour period? 6-12 6 hour period? 800k xp in a night wasn't possible before, i dont think its possible now. 800k xp before was done in about a 8-9 hour straight period, soloing baz's . and even that was difficult... doing the same thing for 8 hours...


"I am not screwred. I am 800k xp away from master.I can still make that in one night."


Have you tried out that "tight" group of yours that is capable of doing that? Do that and post a screen of that, 800k xp in one night. You said you can do it now, but you haven't done it yet, because you've been wasting all your time posting here... so you have no ***REAL*** evidence that 800k xp in a night is possible.
