Thread: I'm a Happy TK, anyone else?
Got tired of reading all of the rubbish going on in the first three pages of this thread. So I decided I would write something happy and see if I can flush out something positive.
Well, I never had knockdown to begin, so this possible "bug" doesnt effect me, but it does affect which direction I plan on going up the TK tree. I solo'd a yellow plains tusk cat, or something of that nature on Naboo today. I killed it. Yeah, he beat the snot out of me, but I expected it. He was yellow, and that meant to me that he was mroe skilled than I was. I was very excited to be able to kill it. The only ability I used was Berserk1, which I think saved my butt. I just wanted to say that I dont see a problem here. I guess someday, if I feel I am in a special situation I might use one of my special abilities, but not till then. Remember in Final Fight... you had special moves you could do to inflict massive amounts of damage, but in turn hurt yourself. That's kinda how I feel about our moves. We never fight the number of villians at one time in SWG that you had to fight in Final Fight. I only ever used them as last ditch moves to clear out as much as I could. I could have used UnarmedHit2 against that cat, but then he probably would have killed me. I just weighed my options, and seeing as how I didnt have a medic, decided it was a idea to injure myself further.
I am not saying I am happy with the patches of today, I am just saying I am not quiting nor am I changing classes. Worse case scenario I stick it out and hope for the best. Who knows. I still enjoy this game. Heck, after getting healed back up I decided I didnt want to fight so I grinded out some bone armor chest pieces and earned Business I, II, and III (almost Master Artisan). See, there are plenty other things to do in this game. Teras Kasi Master is still my final goal, unless they completely screw something up.
Well, I have a feeling this post is going to get absorbed with the negative energy that has consumed the boards recently, but that's ok. Maybe I'll root up some other players that are still happy with SWG.
Thunder, I still think you guys are doing a good job. Don't quit, we need you.

I stopped reading your post soon as i got to this. Thanks for placing it high up on your thread so I did not have to waste time reading the rest of the crap.
Have a nice day.
lol yeah...i stoped at the exact same place.
man, once u get to the knockdown level of your character try fighting those same creatues u ahve been fighting....u get about 29 xp and a big waste of time. any creature with decent xp REQUIRES knockdown. its that simple. there is mass complaining because its completely rediculous.
Gosh, what's wrong with your attitude Mr. HeadRoll? he's not flamin', insultin' or anything, and you shoot a bullet at him.
I am SOOOOOOOOO happy that SOE nerfs knockdown, and I wanna them to nerf even more, take that sucka.
It's like... ooh it's the end of the day coz we no longer have knockdown....uhh i mean, we can no longer spam knockdown......... ahh........... sux to be you.
Actually no it don't suck .
Am 2 boxes to Master CH'er, will just drop TKA skills and dump it on pistoller.
It's great SOE confirmed TKA will stay as is.. Won't have to waste time with it now....sucka, heh
See, now doesnt that make you feel better? mmm.
Hugs all around!
I'm happy with the patch, too.
People will stop complaining that we rock in PvE and ask for nerfing, now we need some strategy to solo, our specials moves are just fun to use and do some damage.
The ones who played a tka with 10 kd to start a fight and don't have master yet will suffer, but not more than any other profession - you can still solo white, even yellow mobs if you're clever.
A tka is now balanced in pve : it means he can solo an even con mob. That's it, not chaining baz nitches or rancorsat novice.
If a tka is balanced compared to other classes, or in pvp, I don't know. ButI'm happy with this patch.
And yes, I know what I'm talking about, I had to kill 60 baz nitches to make tka master after the patch, and succeed - just had to remove my macro doing 10-knockdowns-then-berserk and time my kd's ..
And kd hurts me -211, that's 70 on each ham bar, not that much. And yes I remove my vk.
"Nothing but positive and caring thoughts flowing through them."
Better than people who keep tryin' to twist their mind around coz they like to whine or to hate I guess.
You are one of the ppl who like war, 'nuff said.![]()
I'm still skilling up in TKA, and the only major change I'm noticing is with the Knockdown nerf. Before the nerf, I would just leave the VK on for Knockdown2. This would generally hit for 700-1200 damage (On lower kintetic resist enemies), for slightly less than the current unarmed HAM cost on KD. Because of this, I'm only noticing alower damage output, and greater difficulty on multiple low ham/high damage blaster humanoids.
While having to disarm is a pain, it just means I have to pay attention a little more. Although, I must say I'm not as happy as I was before this nerf. As a result, I find myself shifting to Fencer. I'm still keeping my TK skills, and upgrading as I get the exp, but it's not my primary profession any more. Perhaps when I hit master and get Unarmed Hit 3 I will be happier, but as is, Fencer is what I'm doing now.
If you dont know what we are talking about then take a hike!
Alot of good people just quit today and many of them were TKA masters so dont insult us with your lets be positive follow power garbage becuase its an insult to those of us who hope we dont have to quit!
If you dont know what we are talking about then take a hike!
