DUST Search - CPM Nova Knife Bounty

Quote:

They buffed the knives unncessarily in the second uprising 1.0... the damage listed in the 'show info box' used to show the damge per swipe when charged. Now it shows the damage per swipe -without- being charged. This means they can do the same damage as before, but much faster. Which is somewhat fine. That's a reasonable buff.

However, add on the tidbit where charging them makes them do roughly double that listed damage per swipe.... That starts to get a bit crazy. Then factor in the skill bonus from knives, and possibly sidearm damage mods. Then you've got the suit bonus from minny scout, if you fancy ugly rusty suits :P

Something having a difficult/niche use is no excuse for it being -too awesome-. There's a fine line between rewarding weapons that highly rely on player skill and making those weapons too powerful. CCP crossed it here, in my humble opinion. The current uncharged /old charged damage is fine-as it. But It'd honestly rather they revert to the old method and make the uncharged swipes do less damage. These things should mostly be swung when not charged as a follow-up to a charged attack if it doesn't quite kill someone. They shouldn't be a OHK-opener you can use without charging and still have such a great effect.

It isn't a matter of fairness. It isn't a matter of honor. Or pride. It's a matter of wiping our enemies off the face of Eden proper. As I said, a matter of thoroughness. That being said, I shall present evidence of of Nova Knifes transgressions. I think you will see, by hi s own mouth, he condemned himself to die by the knife he pretends to uphold.

Sometimes politicians speak off the cuff. But, given his position, we can not sit on our laurels. He professes to be a knifer. He even took the name of our beloved weapon as his own! But it is obvious, he is working within the CPM to undermine ninjas everywhere while under the guise of being a proponent to our cause. We must cut this man down. He is a traitor.

The more I hear about your process for coming to that conclusion the more distressing it gets I don't go bragging I stole candy from a baby... Also, I think you will find us to be a lot harder to kill.

There isn't much keeping me here as it is. Scouts are absurdly broken, in a bad way, and CPM is requesting a nerf to one of the only weapons we got? GTFO of here! The weapon is highly situational for most people as it is. You have to be skilled to even use the thing. This CPM member is not representing the community as he should be and should have his title stripped IMO. I honestly think that there is no way Nova Knife is a good knifer. I would love to see him against Mr Musturd. Nova Knife would definitely be crying for a knife nerf after that asswhoopin. I agree. now weapon switching is broken, or i end up with my AR and knives out at the same time an dI have to switch back and forth to fix it. I can't say whether those bugs or the team chat tab not populating bug is the most annoying BFotM. I am having a hard time sprinting sometimes as well. like button presses plain don't register.
