Testing using a Special Action Cost: 94 Vibro lance and unarmed

Well it's not as bad as i thought hehehe. Though I do loose action faster unarmed because I hit faster that way.

Still, it cost little if anything yesterday

hehe i seriously hope that is wrong. Insane if it is meant to be that way, barehands costs more than a lance?!?! bleh

Yes yes yes, I was looking for this post, same here last nite, and this morning, am at work now.....I had to actually wait a few valuable second's for my action to build up, this was completely unarmed.

hmmm, I noticed this too. At first I thought it was because I had a speed buff, so I'm spending action points faster.

I think the problem was I equiped my hack at some point, later when I unequip the hack, the program did not clear the action cost modifier correctly.
Does anyone who never equiped any weapon also experience this problem?

It's definitely something new. I first noticed it after the latest update while fighting unarmed, not having equipped a weapon (since VKs and blaster fists are the only weapons I would use, and they're currently bugged to decrease damage instead of increasing it). I then equipped a blaster fist and lo and behold, was actually draining slightly less action than unarmed.

I remember reading something like this from the test center reports. A beta tester wrote something to the effect of running out of action while fighting an opponent thirty levels below him, and that's what seems to be happening now.

Either this is a bug of some sort or a horrible mistake if intentional. I sure hope it's a bug, because low action costs were the only thing that made "pure" TKA (by which I mean a TKA who has no other combat profession for damage dealing)even remotely viable for soloing in the current situation. This new cost is totally unreasonable.

Yes I noticed the same thing, I thought it was just me. Last night I could use moves and not lose action, today my action bar gets depleated using specials which is stupid because without using specials you dont do any damage you just stand there.

same here, was fighting jagged fang on kashyykk and kept having to wait for action to build back up, while hers was climbing doubletime....

Don't get me wrong, I agree that having a functional action cost of zero for fighting unarmed wasn't really fair on the other melee classes. But now it's gone too far the other way; I'm using less action AND doing more damage by equipping a vibro lance than by fighting unarmed. That is just wrong on so many levels.
