DUST Search - [BUG] Melee Glitch

What're you talking about? Tell it to the guy that melee's in PC all the time not me. That **** should be nerfed so bad, the melee modules should give +10% damage like the other damage modifiers, and the base melee should be lowered as well. I find it annoying they can run up to me so quick, sprint speed modules need to be nerfed as well, a +1% spint speed proto module sounds fair to me. That **** is so easy to do, all you gotta do is get Buda to throw up his hand in front of their bullets while you run at them. Its so hard to shoot someone running straight at me, my gun does 500 dps and the person running at me has 470 hp, and it takes them like 4 seconds to reach me. Why aren't they dying?! Hit detection and lag must be why I miss more than 75% of my shots. Its just so lame that someone has to rely on something they spent 3.5 million skill points on and in a nerfed suit. His only proto suit got nerfed and what does he do? He resorts to exploiting. ***** that suit got nerfed for a reason, so you would only use it to be a logi. Stop doing whatever you can to avoid whipping out a repair tool, you chose a logi suit so be a goddamn logi. idc if my flux nade mass driver combo can kill you instantly, I spent all my time QQing on the forums for your suit to get nerfed, I deserve to get some payback. You want me to QQ some more? Well here I am you gonna get nerfed again motherf*cker enjoy it while it lasts.

This is being abused by certain players causing near instant melee kills. Please look into how sprinting affects melee.

Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven EoN. 249	Posted - 2013.08.19 16:12:00 - [3] - Quote Bumping in hopes for a dev reply on the matter. It's being abused in PC now which is making it all the worse.

You complain that some 1 manages to sneak up to you and beat you to death while you hold a gun. And dont tell me you could shot him before. You have no idea what's going on, do you? This isn't about someone sneaking up on you and meleeing. It doesn't matter of they're sneaking or not, you can run up to someone while getting shot and melee glitch using sprint/melee/sprint/melee before they can even react. I did a test. I usually wear a complex cardiac regulator so this means I'm able to do a lot of melee before running out of stamina. I was able to take down a Heavy while he was shooting me faster than my AR with Prof. 5 and a 10% damage mod using JUST MELEE because I could hit him 10 times before he could do anything. That sound fair to you?

That would only make sense if whatever effect was cancelled by the animation cancel. You can cancel a reload with sprint, but it does not finish the reload. The same doesn't apply to melee. It may cancel the animation but the lock-on and damage still go through for every iteration. What's the point of a shotgun if melee is more accurate, more deadly, and actually detects hits?

Some dickhead in PC is killing my team with melee, what a cheating scrub. Melee is useless to everyone else, this glitch is making it balanced and its not right. Melee'ers should only be able to melee once a second, so they can only deal w/e their melee damage is per second, and thats assuming they don't miss and they can get in range of an enemy. A play style with absolutely no range whatsoever that also needs to sacrifice HP to be effective should only do as much damage per second as every other weapon at their specialized ranges. Thats so when I can't aim right and shoot someone running straight at me, they still can't do damage faster than me. Honestly, you know who you are scrub, quit using something no one else uses and pick up an AR. I lost all my respect for you when you started doing something I've never seen before and have no prior knowledge of how difficult it is to do. GGs btw Funk Your supposed "play style" would be valid if it didn't entirely depend on an exploit. And don't act like it's so hard to be effective with it. You and I both know that close-quarters combat in this game is a mess, especially considering PC's lag and crappy hit detection. It's not difficult to strafe towards someone and instagib them with melee. It's ok, though. Keep trying to justify why you do what you do. If and when it's fixed you can still find a way to be effective with your play style, I will salute you sir. Sadly, your whole little scheme depends on you being able to spam countless melee attacks in seconds. Like I said, I never had much of a problem with it, but the fact that I can take down heavy suits without firing a bullet and not using any melee modules like you shows how ridiculous this bug is.

Got an email from CCP saying it's not intended and is indeed a bug, so enjoy it while it lasts. :]

OH MY GOD THE IRONY Edit: I will donate 1m ISK to Arirana as soon as i log in, just because of this amazing show happening here. Keep up the good work. You seem to have little understanding about PC. Hit detection and lag make people resort to cheap instakill tactics because ARs and other hitscan weapons don't detect about 1/3 of your shots, which is why everyone resorts to grenades, mass drivers, and now this. I personally had no problem killing Ari despite the lag, but the fact is the exploit allows almost any close-quarters situation to be a kill because there's no time to react to 4-5 melee hits in under a second. Trust me, it's a very very effective tactic. The whole "Oh i only have 480 HP" reasoning means nothing when speed tanking effectively allows you to matrix away from bullets that should be hitting. I've been using it in pubs occasionally. I've gotten 3 kills in a row against a group of red dots because I meleed them down before most of them could even get a shot off.

It will be fixed in 1.5 and it's not that easy to exploit, so I'm fine on that topic. It's extremely easy to exploit. I do it all the time, just not in competitive matches like some people.
