As a Teras Kasi artist in game, and a practioner of Okinawan Kenpo in real life, you all disgust me. Whining and crying about HAM costs, but incase you didn't notice, this is realistic. Once I obtained Unarmed Knockdown, I noticed I could kill things solo that realistically I would have no chance against. I soloed a kimogila on Lok, which is ridiculous.The only timeI lost was against social mobs.The move is cheap. Go cancel your accounts and mine asteroids in Eve if it's such a character-threatening bug.


First of all, TKMaster takes 92 skill points total to obtain. That leaves 158 points to play with, enough to master at least one other class. So I don't see why your characters are unplayable.


Secondly, quite a few unbalanced classes were nerfed in this patch. People were advancing too quickly. My RL friend is a pistoleer, and his knockdown move cost was also upped. Creature handlers, well, we all know that plight. Commando still hasn't been fixed totally.


Finally, if you know anything about macros then you can figure a way around this problem. Think about the difference in HAM cost with and without a knuckler.

I am sure that you talked some sense into us with your condescending attitude.

199 HAM for me without knuckles right now. You ever fight a yellow con or even a white con that resist a few times in a row? You even have to use the move 3 times, there's 600 HAM. Seems to pull more out of action at the moment, but generally speaking that's 25% damage to each bar on average. And that just bought you 12 seconds of time. There is a big HAM difference when comparing "cons" at various levels of the game. A white con to a Master is much tougher than a white con to a novice.

A little of topic, but since when is SWG like real life? Did i somehow miss thousands of years, and get transported IRL to a galaxy far far away? This is unconstructive thanks.

I'm ashamed of you for calling yourself a Teras Kasi.... have you done any PvP at all.... now I will agree we shouldnt' be able to solo rancors, but making us lose half our life for our one good move is insane. A simple solution would be to have a lower success rate, or have it's success based on the level of creature you are fighting, but please.... put a little thought into your post and your profession before you start telling everyone that they should be ashamed for complaining about having their character turned to worst class in the game. A character that they spent a month and a half getting. They have every right to complain, because if this was the case when the game released I'm sure half these people would have never gone Teras Kasi. Now, the only options they have is to use a depleted character, lose a month and a half of their gaming lives, or delete their account. Think before speaking.

You wont believe how this "ashamed of you all" sounds like a 13 year old poster. Nothing against 13 year olds, just it kind of sounds immature kiddo.

First. Some of us (like me) TKA is the ONLY fighting class we have. Its the ONLY way we can deal damage. I am a TKA/Ranger/Entertainer. I will not use the crutch of the ranged weapons.


Second. As I mentioned in an earlier post their "fix" by increasing all HAM costs effectively broke our entire class. Try to use ANY special. Hits you hard. As a workaround people were unequipping their VKs. But why should they have too? This in effect. Made off of their purchased weapons, useless.


Third. Solo'd a Kimo? Not lately you havent. Im calling BS on that one. Unless of course you were a CH with 3 Rancors on top of your TKA skills. Ive seen Kimos eat many higher level players for lunch, and 100% of the time the first player to attack didnt even have a chance.

Yes I should not have a chance to kill a red con with no probably but I shouldn't be biting my lip hoping I live thru fighting an even con mob. Thats the whole point. It needed to be fixed but not so drastically. Melee are in close range and are the tanks in this game. We get $hit for defense against incoming hits, so we have to use knockdown as our defense. Without knockdown we have basically no defense. See the problem now? We can put out damage fine but we can't take a beating which is what we have to do being up close. So we have the choice now to use KD and inflict damage on ourselves, or not use it and let the creatures inflict damage on us. Either way we take damage and most likely die. And there is no aggro management in this game, which doesnt help the problem either. Only thing good I have seen come out of this patch is my leotard got fixed

I personally am a patient person, I have not threatened quiting or cancelling at all;however, the dev coments from yesterday and the redonkulous patch of today are enough for some people. Heres a clue, if you dont want to hear people whine, don't come to a message board on the internet to a game that is in friggen dire straights balance wise.
