why did they even feel the need to nerf tk? what was their reason for these crappy changes??!?


did they think that ranged fighters had a huge advantage but needed a bigger one? did they think we were kidding when we gave helpful ideas as to how to create more balance, like by adding moves for tk or decreasing ranged kiting..etc...????



are they all siting around in their offices saying "lets cost soe lots of money and ruin the game for lots of people just for fun because we have ABOLUTELY no reason to do so otherwise?"


is that what they are doing there all day?!?

The thing is that the Dev's seem to be playing a RL version of SWG... they just got their Nerfyville Slugger Certifications and are well on their way to Master Nerfer. They are getting alot of NXP from knocking all the fun out of this game - can you blame them if they are having fun?


Look- this is about the third /rant I've posted in 20 minutes and I apoligize. I'm sure that the Dev's are working hard - I just want to have some fun without starting my professions over. I'm going to try to do something useful now...


Thanks for listening to my whining.

People got sick of BH's hitting them with KD in PvP so they nerfed KD across the boards like idiots, not even thinking how it would affect each class in PvE.


Dumbest thing I have ever seen.


Just a couple of weeks left for me. Then I am out

Nah SOE decided that FUN and ENJOYMENT was unbalancing to the game, and wanted to make sure that everyone was sick and tired of this bs equally. SOE giveth (in beta) and SOE taketh away (all the rest of the time).



Now Im gonna go incap myself vs crazed druni, brb...............

They hate us... it's true... Why would they give the class that needs knockdown the most the biggest nerf? It's downright stupid.


620 HAM cost? Give me a BREAK.


For 620 ham that'd **edit** well better be an INSTANT KILL MOVE.

It is an instant kill move, it just doesn't kill who you would want it to...

First off, the new HAM cost of knockdown (tka) is 200...


secondly, if you don't like the changes, then fine... tha tis your perogative. Pick up a new profession and let the true TKA warriors shine through. You're making us all look bad.

Try again... go put your VKs on and try it.


Even 200 is excessive.. that means 5 knockdowns... which is usually enough to kill maybe a ROGUE BANTHA... completely drains us.


That's stupid and idiotic and not even remotelyfun, much less realistic.

Yeah well nobody in their right mind ever uses an unarmed special attack with knucklers on.



lesson one in your long quest to stop whining and start being a true warrior.

alright, it isn't fair of me to call anyone a whiner. I apologize.



I just want people to start "learning" how to play the game instead of wanting everything on a silver platter. MELEE IS NOT THAT BAD IN PVP... THE NEW KNOCKDOWN COST ISN'T THAT BAD. You just can't spam it constantly. take some buffs and soak it up.



there are other ways to play besides taking advantage of imbalances and exploits.

Not that bad? 206 bare handed and 680 with vks on? Pass the crack pipe please, you've had enough...

Not that bad in respect to how it truly should be... I mean, yeah it was cool to sit there and constantly knockdown but it made combat rather weak... Not to mention it basically made every other unarmed special virtually useless. Now we can actually use our wide variety of skills... instead of spamming KD.

Yeah I agree we haven't been wrecked that much in PvP, I can still dizzy someone for 10-20 secs. But try telling that to a hanadak or baz nitch. For one thing, places like the Tusken Fort will be useless without TKAs throwing down lots of KDs.
