Im not here for trolling or a flame fest so if that is your intention you can do so ill not be back on this side of things again..

there was my disclaimer..

now my issue:

I dont know if anyone feels the same as I do, but when i fought ever so hard to becoem a tka master.. i didnt think that i was end game material.. it took close to two months to do it.. most of the early days before tka novice i had no knucklers.. my gunner buddies were severely waxxing all exp from me..

things have changed..

Im top of the food chain in cantinas.. which lets be honest here.. is the only reason we should go mano e mano with a gunner.. the only place it should be attempted

Most of you disagree with this..

Most of you think we should be like spider man climb walls dodge lasers.. and be able to hit past 15 meters..

i do not agree

its a very simple fact that most of you dont have any real pvp experience in being a tka.. i been pvp'in since i was a novice brawler.. thing was in those days people were on the same level with me.. so it wasnt as hard as it is for some now

we have a plethora of moves that make us melee gods not even the high damaging swordsman can touch us if we dont want them to..

but more to the point

WE WERE NEVER EVER MEANT TO BE AN END GAME PROFESSION!!!!

this i must stress!

it only costed us 90 some odd skill points to get where we are.. dont quote me on it never did the math just know that after explore 4 and master tka i had 104 left over.. that leaves me with the whole pistol line and whatever i choose to do after that

THATS RIGHT I SAID PISTOL!!

why?

simply put this is a ranged game this aint king arthur slays with excalibur.. this game is more like sam jackson with an ak - 47 for when you absolutely must kill everything in a room..

if you are in a building and you are loosing to a gunner its because you werent ready..

thats real

the only excuse you should have to loose is because of the underhand shot of a BH is much faster than anything we have..

oooh a master pistoleer knocks you down over and over and over

if your a master tka he cant kill you that way

his ham will run out before youre incapped i know i tested this!

as soon as your able to stand he is still shooting you with normal attacks just under half your life left his whole action bar is gone.. dont get mad get even!

ua lunge him 2x to keep him from running away

knock his silly ass down

then do a ua action hit to finish him

i dont know why i have to be the one that sees this..

all of you are supposed to be uber pvp'ers or something but all you are doing is coming off like whiney ass spoiled brats

yeah there is one thing wrong with out profession

we cannot hit while running

no biggie something gets too far whip out ye old pistola.. shoot the punk.

bahh im tired of telling you people how it is

im tired of everynight lookin at the thread bitchin at the same ole same ole..

ive lost all hope in the correspondant program.. because basicly he is askin for things that will never be

so i guess you could call me the black sheep tka master.. because i dotn follow the flock.. i knew fromt he begining we werent meant to rule the game.. i knew from the begining we werent supposed to be all that and a bag of chips

its only how you make it work man.. thats it nothing more

yeah ham might be reduced on some things like knockdown.. oh well id rather find away around using it

because fromt he posts you guys obviously rely on it till the cows come home... me? i dont need it in most fights

anyway flame away hate me if you choose.. but i just laid down the painful truth and untill you guys realize it there is no hope for you at all

I can sympathize with you. As melee, we should often be killed by ranged users. However, I've dueled a total of 5 times, and 4 of those were ranged users (I was TKM). I killed 3 out of those 4 ranged users with relative ease (and several more in factional combat), and I'm talking post-patch by the way. It's really very simple, when they kite you, hit BurstRun then when you get to within 15m, use UnarmedLunge1, then Knockdown and start chewing them up. In laggy areas (bestine, for example), you have to GREATLY accomodate for the lag by using KD while you're actually running past them (and after you've lunged them), since KD can work on the run.

The only thing you "laid down" was how full of yourself you are. I'm not one of the "whiners" who your post was directed at, but in truth, your just a dumbass looking to get flamed.

ooooooooook well since i have seen my first flame and since im still on the boards i have to say this.. yep im full of myself! know why?... cuz i proved myself viable again and again.. nerf after nerf.. you my friend are a whiner.. you do not agree you decide to insult me rather than post up some things that im wrong on.. which none will do since i am not wrong.. no you imagined yourself as some unholy god of war with your bare hands.. do you actually think the devs have designed jedi to loose to tka? think again.. infact youre whole post is nothing but an insult to your self.. if ever anyone needed help in the self-improvement column it would be you

Im not a whiner, because I honestly give two **edit**s about the KD nerf. Learn to read bub. You're post is nothing more than a flame to people who are genuinely upset and its a joke, much like yourself.

why are you upset? because you rely on a weapon to do your talkin for ya?.. hmm? why? because you need knucklers to knock something down or was it you were too spoiled in killing rancors and **edit** that was wayyyy too powerful for you to ever take on alone?

or is it you lack the skill to come up with a viable solution?

no instead you insult me and blame me for not caring.. of course the kd nerf sucked but im not the one crying over and over about it... YOU ARE

Min/Max... that type of player will be around forever tooting his own horn. I do not play in order to lay down the smack talk and brag about the size of *edit* I wish I had. I play for the enjoyment of play.

Like it or not my chosen profession and style of roleplaying has been drastically affected by this nerf. As such the enjoyment of the game for me has been greatly reduced. And I have yet to find a resonable response to any of our very valid concerns.

Its great that you don't know how to read. And that you like to repeat yourself over and over like a broken record, and well make no sense.

But let me again just say for the third time in as many posts that I am impartial to the KD nerf because I indeed use other skills. Maybe if you were as good at reading and reading comprehension as you think you are at pvp this would sink in. Well,the fact is, people here have been offering your exact same suggestions in much nicer and much more contructive posts than the "**edit** Newb, I am right and leet!!" demeanor that you come here with. Yeah, why dont you go jump offa bridge irl bud.

first off put something in this post that you want me to read bub... secondly.. you preach maturity and tact when you have done nothing but baseless attack me for no better reason that to feel the need to do so.. its people like you that are the reason things got nerfed... you say you dont rely on it (KD) but in a previous post you said you were upset about the ham costs... so basicly you are the one talkin in circles.. bub.. how about this why dont you get a clue.. and when you have a real arguement come on back because this battle of wits is like you bringing a knife to a gun fight

**edit** runemon, I love you.

Before the game released I read somewhere that the game would be based more on the skill of the player rather than what items he/she has or what level that person's avatar is. When I first played the game I remembered those very words and thought it was a load of crap for the first week since everything seemed so simple. Then I began to interact with people after I soloed off that wad of unarmed xp to tk nov, and I started grouping. Much to my surprise many people lacked common sense and didnt know how basic aggro worked, most of which were about my "level". I came to find that any tk I met seemed much less threatening after I saw that they had little grasp of how to use their skills efficiently, or knew what half of them did and only got to their current level by grouping and killing mobs with 20 pets on them, never understanding the potential of their character. Then i thought that those words werent so much crap after all. I soon came to realise that people wont be satisfied until they can be doing something a monkey could do, kill things without being challenged at all. These recent nerfs have FIXED the tk's in my opinion, its making everyone who chose this class to actually think and form strategy. I feel sorry for all those people who posted to cancel their account(s) if tk wasnt fixed in a week, guess a lot of people will quit swg because their precious overpowered class got nerfed. After the kd nerf I didnt think much of it, since i could play fine by taking off my vks before attacking, but for all of you people out there who relied on this to be the staple move to level your tk to master killing baz nitches or what have you, you may as well go kill dragons in eq.

Runemon is a prime example of what we should all strive to be, accepting inevitable nerfs and finding ways to get around them.

I don't "preach" maturity or tact, I just don't like arrogant people like you. And I don't think I have posted on this board in quite a few days. So this post you speak of is probably pretty old, and talking about having more reasonable HAM costs for the skill is a far cry from the rediculous posts by others here. Reguardless, a person like you with the mental capacity of a nuna (diseased) talking about having "real arguments" (as you have post well, none) is about the most laughable thing I've seen in a long time.

yes i agree to a point...

but again.. as i have said we are not meant to be an end game profession

our correspondant asks for unrealistic things... ranged attacks for melee .. i mean come on

there are a few things wrong with us and id like to share them with you..

im sorry but it is not netcoding that disallows us from attacking while running.. that is evident in ua ranges without knucklers which you have 6 meters..

so that is something that is broken..

i feel the whole meditation gig needs work.. force of will rarely ever works... and powerboost is just retarded.. i get the same thing thru vitalize except without the mind cost and it lasts longer

i feel that ualunge should actually do something more than just change postures it should slow the enemy down enough to where unless you spam it 3 times they can get right back up off the knee and continue running..

other than that i feel that everything is on the up and up..

i hated the fact that i could actually beat the hell out of a mountain squill at 0-2-2-1

i never got touched..

this is what they are aiming for... that and they want to slow advancement wayyy down.. which i agree with too

"...but again.. as i have said we are not meant to be an end game profession"

Oh well thats great, I mean you are on the dev team after all. Oh wait, no your not, just some more talking out of your keester. You have NO CLUE what we were meant to be in this game so stop pretending to know what the devs intended for us or anyone else. Another prime example of your arrogance (or is that ignorance).
