Ok I'm gonna be blunt, this is about the sixth re-write of this & I still can't get it to sound right, my reasons been that it's 2am here, & I had hoped for a nice laid back day, instead it looks like I'm having a really busy headless chicken one.
Firstly, I wanna say that today is the first I have heard of any of these changes, so please try & understand I'm on the same page as you guys are at the moment really, & have no extra information at this time.
Secondly, I know that many of you are going to be worried, upset, or even excited, & all that goes in between. But I really hope you can do me a favour & stay civil, & constructive, if you don't like the changes, fine, say so. but do it in a decent manner.
Remember, we still have very little information over all, something I cannot say I'm happy about. Tomorow I'll start some new stickies etc like I did for the CU & so on, but untill then, can I please ask you keep all comments to this thread. It would save me alot of hassle & speed things up tomorow.
Remember, I'm here representing you guys, & even if TKA as a proffesion is to vanish, I can say that I will still be here until it goes.
For the record, from my understanding of it, Melee is not going away, but all combat is becoming a combat type now that you use along side your proffesion, I could be wrong of course, but I believe there will still be an unarmed combat of some kind, but as with so much of this stuff, we need to wait & see.
Sorry for any bad spelling & grammar by the way, it's too late for me to bother to load up Word & I need some sleep.
One final request, I have to ask, please give yourselves time to digest what info we have been given, don't just jump on it stright away, take sometime with it, these are big changes, bigger then any other MMO has ever see, & none of us will know what to make of it all stright off the bat.
Sleep well & goodnight to you all.

Mankind00,
Thank you for the update. I will also be here 'till it ends.
I would like to say; Teräs Käsi is not my character's profession, but his life. I have built his entire gameplay and roleplay around it, and history. I would very much hate for this profession to be tossed in the wind, but I am not going to panic.
For some reason, I knew something like this was going to happen. I hadn't imagined something so drastic, but still, it leaves a sense of excitment.
I will look forward to any new updates on this infomation that you can provide us.
Thank you,

Thank you Mankind and all vets know better than to blame a corr. I am having very hard time digesting this, and I think I speak for most tk when I say I feel we have as much or more mystique than any prof in the game. Everyone knows what a jedi is, but TK is a special breed. You are a great corr, and I hope they find a way to integrate TK into the game with our titles and profession in tact. Soz you had to wake to this today. I am personally eating my shoe right now.

I want to be a Teras Kasi Artist 
when I started the game I worked my way towards it.. came back after a break and Mastered it... took another break, got a respec after CU and chose Master TK again
DONT MAKE IT SO THAT I CANT BE A Teras Kasi Artist
Sorry, edited because I want to make sure it's known that I'm not blaming you, but this is how I feel. I love the little bits of history behind Teras Kasi that I've learned and I dont want to be anything but.

Gotta love those days...
Since BH, Smuggler, and of course Commando are getting melee skills...it appears the older melee prof's are being combined with the big 3 combat profs. Im betting, since commando already is associated with the same unarmed pre-req...we would probably have the most TKA skills. Ironically, the old TKM-MC might come back in the commando class, and be good again...

Well I don't know what is going to happen but as for the guy whos a Roleplayer you could definatly put this into your storyline about the evil empire coming in to destroy the order and you hiding out like yoda keeping the profession alive even if it is not in the way it was once remembered 
. But yeah I hope this new overhaul is for the good for our Sake and for SOE's sake for if its horrible this game will also become part of history and die. So I think they will do something good and i will stay and play throught the big changes. Also I know they were trying to understand what the people want out of this game and i think they actually had a meeting with different gamers here in my area a little while back I could of attended but i was busy with work. I do say that I will stick with this through thick and thin. I am a new gamer so i'm not as attached to the old as some of you being that I've only been playing this game since August and before that I was playing World of Warcraft. But again I'm going to stay and see what heppens.

I enjoyed being a TKM for almost a year. The only point I wanted to get across is if the new changes are to make things more StarWarsy why isn't TK being involved? I know you don't see them in the movies(or do you?)but this game has never followed the movies. The first CU was just getting fun lol.

If TK leaves then I will sorely miss it as it disappears. I personally love being a tk/fencer/Master brawler with my character pre CU. I especially loved being a TK. I unforturnately gave up said path for the ways of the jedi March of 05. Two months later the CU came. *bleech*
Was planning on either making my jedi alt a tk/doc/0030 artisan or a mchef/mBE/mMerch unfortunately I am gonna wait untilI see how this all plays out.
The Devs said that this new 'Upgrade' would make combat faster but the combat was faster back pre CU.
I personally am sorry for everyone, no matter what profession, that is getting removed or otherways screwed.

qfe - teräs käsi iant what Jene'Vieve does; it is WHO she is. it defines her as a person, si the reason for events in her past, her trademark, her everything. and as an extension, it's what I have always been in swg - a tkm form beginning to end.
the thought of that going away makes me a very very sad panda. and i dont have enough sad faces to convey it.
x infinity = memankind, anyone who would blame the corros for this is more than likely having a knee jerk anger reaction. best of luck, we do appreciate all youve done. and sadly, this sort of sounds like a goodbye to tk .. but thats how it feels.

Mankind, you have been the best coorespondent I have seen. Ironfox has been a TKM since day 1 and I have no idea what I am going to do with him. I plan on being in the TC starting first thing Friday. I don't know what they expect with the Novemeber 15th release date only 12 days away but I will try it out. Remember, Teras Kasi for Life.

Yet another one here... Zigen' has been a Teras Kasi since day 1. Around 2 years ago, I started on Starsider then ended up on Chimaera... all the while keeping loyal to the Teras Kasi art. Like many of the posters here, this profession is Zigen's way of life. Heck, everything from his RP background, gameplay, items/CA's invested are all centered around being a TKM.
Another thing that comes to mind is that I'm part of an all Teras Kasi guild which already took quite a blow because of the CU. We've managed to ride it through... and now just about recovering from that time. Now, I'm not even sure if it is possible to continue this setup. Very sad indeed.
Alot of time and effort have been investedto reach this point in my character's development, and I'm sure most of the others did the same. Even now that I'm part jedi, I believe I will still miss the Teras Kasi profession more if this pushes through.
TK for life indeed....
