Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3519	Posted - 2014.01.11 18:04:00 - [1] - Quote Until today, I've barely touched nova knives since 1.1; if you're like me, here's some things you should know before operation shinobi. I've just confirmed with the help of an oblivious enemy redline sniper that knives are their own damage type; 100% damage against shields and armor. SOMETHING isn't right, but I can't tell what as of now. An amarr basic med frame (no idea on the tier, but it wasn't advanced) survived 4 uncharged slashes from my ishukones (I can hear the hits connecting); I'm not sure if uncharged damage is now terrible, or if hit detection is bad. If you use an active scanner, USE FLUX; I was killed while using a quantum active scanner because I couldn't switch weapons or sprint while it was scanning. I'm not sure if it's a glitch, but the timer continued to count down after running out of the redline after killing a sniper. It never reached 0 yet, so I'm not sure if it'll kill you outside the redline or not. I've still never been successfully scanned whilst using an enhanced profile dampener on my scout suit. My profile dampening skill is at 3, and my highest scout skill (minmatar) is at 4. Feel free to add things. We used to have a time machine

Shotgun yes, knives no. There's a difference between shotguns and knives that's very important. First of all, there's the obvious aspect of range; you don't have to hug someone to kill them with a shotgun, so you can kill someone with less time. Second, knives have 2 slashes per "trigger pull"- if the first slash misses, the second can still connect, so dancing in melee range is more effective with knives than with a shotgun, if someone notices you. Because of that, I prefer to add some tank in the low slots to give me time to get into dancing range- time I wouldn't need if I were using a shotgun. We used to have a time machine

The suit survived because you didn't charge them. 4 swipes=800 damage without bonuses. If you aren't moving at least 9.0 sprint expect to do poorly using knives. Tank is important but knowing were your enemy is without them knowing is even more important. I now believe it was lag, as I just went 7-2, with at least 3 of the kills being uncharged swipes. I don't need 9.0 sprint speed, and a flux active scanner, along with my base passive scanning, is enough to know where they are. We used to have a time machine

Not that I'm hard to kill but it was the first knife death I've had in a while. No idea if it was you, but there was a sniper I killed a few times in a row. They were a dumbass, as I scanned them every time right before I killed them. In their own redzone, too. We used to have a time machine

I've been robbed of some epic red line kills Also, You will find you leave the red zone just in time only for the clock still ticking on your screen. A melee punch will fix it before you die. Why the fuuk is melee the big fix for half of these ****** bugs. Had the early dead bug twice now continuity clock I have had more often but it never kills me the clock just eventually disappears. Did not know the melee trick worked on this WTF really WTF So far, I've lost an HAV and an ADS to this bug We used to have a time machine

If they could work on improving that I would do a back flip. Yep. Sometimes I find myself just spamming R1 because it's impossible to see what's going on, anyway. We used to have a time machine

Were you using a minmatar scout suit with level 5 and prof 3 nova knives or up? Prof 1. However, that was the only instance today where a non-heavy survived that, so I'm now positive it's hit detection. We used to have a time machine

I blatantly hit a Caldari Assault in the face with my nova knives(ZN-28) with my scout squad mate with me, and my knives were fully charged when he killed me. My friend was surprised when they guy still had a sliver of life left. I died unformately to the Rail Rifle. Remotes have been acting up too. I put them on the objective, the blow up and no one dies. I've seen it happen with my own eyes. 3 enemies inside and it just explodes but no damage happens. Shotgun is wonky sometimes too. Hit someone they lol and have no damage dealt while I get lit up. Proxies are also weird- saw an HAV drove over a ton of them, yet none exploded. We used to have a time machine
