Thread: Just Need Some Official Word

The only thing I am looking for now is some official word on the KD situation.


I am one of those that feels gimped by the KD nerf, probably because I really enjoyed dungeons like the Tusken Raider and evil ewoks. The only way to survive there was KD (or pets) - I don't care how good you are at workarounds. For me, those places are now off limits as I will be a total waste to the group. If you've never been - don't comment.


I have a hard enough time deciding on a second profession as it is, TKA is the only thing that really interested me.


I was in TKA for the PvE soloing and exploring potential. And I wasn't invincible, I'm not asking to be invincible, I died lots, believe me. But at least I had a fighting chance pre-nerf.


So I think what I, and many others need, is some official word on how the situation is being handled. I would like to have some info so I can decide for myself if I should continue to struggle leveling my TKA (2.4.4.3 atm), disband TK and pick up another profession (which is unlikely for my aforementioned lack of interest in other professions), or cancel my account.


This is not meant to be a thread for, well "have you tried this?" or "TKA is still viable". For what I played, TKA is no longer viable, or perhaps better put, enjoyable. We all need to make this decision for ourselves, so I'm just looking for support on getting some communication from the Devs. Let's see a show of hands if you are looking for the same info.

Aurilius, if I may.. it almost seems that these costs are bugged. This has been proposed previously (with supposed CSR chat backing) and would be consistent with what we are seeing in the amount of increase and the costs compared to other KD's.


You will likely *not* get any official word here, to set realistic expectations.

Alright **edit** it. I just don't want to pay for something if I'm inevitably going to cancel. That's not right.


Our changes weren't in the patch notes. If it was a mistake, they just need to say so.

I'm back in university again, I could be buying beer with that money.

They did tell you they were changing KD in the big patch notes which were viewable days before they went into affect. They just never said how bad. I knew it was coming.

"If they dont give us a reply here then where do we look for a reply? "


That is a very good question. You can look in Patch Notes (sparse and incomplete) or at their responses to the next set of correspondents (short and unclear). You can also look at how they handle the TKA class in the next set of patches to address (what i believe) this KD cost bug. IMO, there is no way to tell the direction they are going until after we get there, which is admittedly suboptimal.


They have admitted that they do not communicate well, but there aren't easy solutions for this for the company [I am not defending their actions]; we can only hope that they will get better with practice, as we all have to do.
