Ok, I've been listening to people complain about the "problems" with TKA for some time now, and unit the nerfdate I didn't see what everyone was whining about.

Having said that, my first post will be to say this.....

Thanks development team, you have now killed TKA. Just take it away, so people don't waste their time on it. Way to listen to the complaints of people and do just the opposite of what they are asking, we only pay your salaries.

TKA is now officially THE lamest, most insignificant profession in the game.

Our "best" defense - knockdown, is now too costly to use, thanks. Our HAM cost were too high, now they are much higher, thanks! Just about everything that has been called an "issue" in this forum has now been made worse. Way to make the people happy.

I wasted so much time trying to get to TKA Master, I was pretty close too. Now I am going to get back all those wasted points. Why waste my time trying to get within 3 meters of my target (getting mauled from 23m away) only to have all my pool points drained in the process?

I will give it maybe a week, very doubtful but I think that the 'devs' have to realize when all TKA's are leaving, they ****ed it up too much.

I was talking to a TKA Master today, when I heard the best analogy.

Stealing a beggar's change, giving it to Bill Gates, and then throwing away his box.

So I say good job to the devs, what an excellent improvement. If only every company could solve customer complaints like you! Keep up the great work.

Former TKA student,
Bazooka


PS
At least now I know what I will be giving up to become a politician.

So much for boosting those specials. Unarmed Hit, our most damaging attack, is still the same 2.5 modifier it was before.


Unarmed Combo 2, the MASTER Power Tech special, is still as worthless as before. It does 700-900 damage, over the course of a random 2 stat pools. That means, yes, it does the same damage as two normal attacks done with no ham cost.


Great job guys! Keep on boosting us. Maybe Crazed durnis will be able to solo us by the next nerf- i mean patch.

I guess they can't take all these people telling them that the changes they made are a load of crap.

Haha Iri, that was me that was there too!


As it stands now, I'm going to be surrendering my TKA skills except for Master Meditation.

Rather than listen to the complaints of people, and admiting that they have a terrible method of dealing with customer complaints, they simply delete them and act as if it never happened?


if TerasKasiPlayers = 0
mission objective completed
else bring out the nerf cannon
endif

Psudocode that the SOE devs use.

There was no TKA's in the movies because they all got oned by R2 units. Now the Devs are trying to make sure that there is no TKA in the game.

I can't wait for the next nerfdate where a lesser desert wamprat can take downd a TKA Master.

Picture aseveral SOE developers (admittedly overworked and overpaid) getting together


Bob (development guru): OK on the agenda today TKA issues, we were able to quiet the TKA nerds with our ambiguous post on the profession forum but we really need to work on some of their issues. I open the floor to suggestions, anyone.....


Mike (some other development loser): Well lets increase the dmg that unarmed does and all their specials, that will make them happy!


Bob: Good Idea! What are we gonna do about balancing Knockdown its way too empowering vs higher level mobs?


Frank (some other development geek) I know lets increase HAM costs!


Mike: Yeah! That will stop them from over using it, if we increase the HAM cost to like say 200+ they can only use it once per battle or the will come dangerously close to incapping themselves, hahah brilliant! And since mobs target the weakest portion of the HAM bars if they use it too much they will be killed over and over again, but we can rationalize the change because we increased dmg on all their other useless moves!


Frank: AWESOME, some of the less than brilliant (politically correct for stupid) players with think the increased dmg will offset the nerfs, they will be duped and baffled by our minor bs while we secretly whittle away at the TKA profession, slowly but surely turning them into the utlimate losers in the SWG universe!


Bob: Amazing! You guys are great, I love working with you, lets all make out under the table and get paid for it, wooohoooo (explicit descriptions of bizarre developer sex acts edited due to graphic nature)


And there you have it, a brief glimps into the minds of our SOE developers and their groundbreaking design sessions.


You know the saying "Garbage in........ Garbage out!"


May The Farce (that is SWG) Be With You!

I knew it. We are all paying a monthly fee so that the devs can eat coco-puffs and runn around with their thumbs up their a$$es all day long. Oh yeah, they also need to be payed $30 an hour since sitting down with 1 thumb in your a$$ while trying to code is so hard.
