Just to cut any discussion off at the pass, charging knives while sprinting is off the table. It's not going to happen, so please don't bring it up in this thread.

Also, back pedaling at near the same speed as walking forward is just a bad mechanic.

Improving walk speed while equipped would cause people to use them for a "strafe" improvement and reducing backpedal speed is much greater improvement as it will help the shotgun as well.
Backpedal speed in the MCC before battle and merc quarters is not 100%, so it shouldn't be off the table for in the actual game. Strafe speed is also not 100%, so please nerf being able to walk backwards as fast as they can forward. I agree, nerfing back pedaling speed makes a lot more sense and would have an overall improvement rather than incremental ones for specific components in the game. I know for sure that back pedaling in MCC and waiting room is not 100%, but is it the same during battles?
I haven't done any "scientific" tests, but just eye balling it, I can definitely tell the difference in speed on an MCC, but can't tell a bit of difference in game.

Currently strafe speed is like, 90%? Make backpedal 90%, or 95%, but it needs to be less than full forward.
Is that "Not Iggy" is your alt? you 2 said the something without read other comment.  Go back and read several comment above before you post please. I don't get why people have a problem with Sentinels hold knife while dancing. LOL Keep saying that and watch Iggy show up and thunderpunch you
You would think the Not Iggy name would give some sort of hint as to who that alt might belong too...

@ Definitely not an alt of anyone that might be referred to as Iggy
I am thinking that maybe its the way that changing back pedal speed would have to be done that could cause all the problems.
Like when we wanted an increase in base movement speed for minja, but that would effect EVERYTHING so it was tossed.

I think he was referring to this.

I am very apprehensive about changing backpedaling speed as this affects everything else in the game as well. It's kinda the nuclear option, and I would prefer not to mess with it at the moment.
I could be wrong though.

Part of the fun of knives is the amount of skill it takes to sneak in close and get the kill. The changes you have proposed so far are a step towards taking skill out of knife gameplay and will lead to such shittery as people hanging around corners with charged knives and swiping "just close enough" to get the instakill on everybody. That isn't fun, really for either party, and it's a form of gameplay that has no place in Dust/Legion/wtfever. Buff STD knives and either put in charging while sprinting or leave them alone. And yes, I understand the reason we don't have charging while sprinting is likely that it would take recoding to make that change.
Edit: Optimization skill change is good too. Omg this...so much this
This doesn't make sense.
It is contradictory in a way I don't understand. I get why you would want sprint charge, but I disagree. I get why you would want no changes or next to no changes and keep them highly skilled and very difficult, and whole heartedly agree.
I don't get why given the latter part you would ever be ok with sprint charge, but NOT with a minor tweak like adding 0.5 m to range or a (hopefully) very slight aim adhesion.

No, but probably one of the few.
I wish I had a video of the heavy knifer I had on my team the other day. It was quite amusing.

And please- not like you guys wrecked the charged sniper rifle with it's hair dryer sound. maybe a slight beep or something. If I can hear it, they can hear it 
That will be the last thing they hear.

CCP Logibro wrote:Alright, so after a little testing I'm going to reduce the knife hit time from 0.3 and 0.55 to 0.2 and 0.45. The animation however is fixed, so it will seem a bit quicker, but the hit markers will indicate accurately when you hit.
Secondly, Nova Knife damage is now being changed to 120/160/200.
And lastly, Nova Knives will do 50% damage to vehicles. No bonuses to hitting weak points (not yet at least). They will still not do damage to installations. I may revisit that last point if we at least reduce WP for destroying neutral turrets.
Heh
Hahahahahaha

I always wondered, because it looks like a really random thing to have in this game. Are there any AV guys who even go for that weak point? Do you have stats on how often weak point hits actually made an impact on an engagement? Other than that, I love this change. It will make NK attractive to me and adds another AV melee weapon. ...It's also yet another Caldari AV weapon, which is kinda funny.
It is not any different than having a head shot bonus.

CCP Logibro wrote:I'm also curious about another thing: how many of you know that a headshot with Nova Knives does extra damage?
I had heard something about it, but was never sure if it was a real thing, or just a rumor.
I might have to try to knife more heavies in the head now.
