The min scouts have a bonus towards the Nk and I saw the melee weapons thread this , all of the races have some sort of rifle and at least one specialty type weapon. A melee weapon might not be a stretch especially since this is a tactical shooter and melee weapons do not need ammo. I do realize nova knives are a specialty weapon. However variety isint bad you can also play to the lore and RP aspects of the game
So far these are the ideas I have seen Ammar: Whip , lance , claymore type sword, mace Calidari: Sword, katana, Galente: Short sword , and they have lots of CQC don't know if they really need melee Minmitar: Club , knives of there own, axe
all proper murder is premeditated, that's what makes new Eden fun
acidental mansluaghter charges in FW however are not

1: Why the hell would someone bring a sword to a gunfight?
2: sword and katana are functionally the exact same thing. Hell, sword is just a type of weapon, you could say that a katana is in fact a sword.
3: Not every race would design their melee weapons off of nova tech (well, Gallente might, but I doubt they would specifically use it).

You should post on the Ultimate Melee Weapon Discussion thread, Talon Paetznick II, more support is needed in getting more melee weapons. I mean come on mate, a gun has limits and it would be something people could spend boosters on to skill and max it. Don't be a melee hater, don't be a skill hater. Stick with your petty gun and I will stick this in your skull.

NK's are valid sidearms, used all the time in many armies of today, and will probably be used in armies of tomorrow, not only due to their utility, but due to being quiet, which NK's generally match. They are, however, idiotic primaries. You're pushing for them to essentially make primary NK's. That's silly. But I'm dumb. kk
a gun has much less limits than a sword does. can you swing a sword at something 50m away?
Adding **** is fine, skilled for **** at that. Unnecessary and just plain silly **** is not. For the lulz isn't a valid reason to add things when there's tons of other actually decent things that actually needs to be put into the game.

Meh if I can get a Riot Shield or a Submission/Shock Maul (aka super powered night stick) no issue to be had. Police and Military Personnel use these every now and then.

No they aren't. I'll admit that small number of applications in the melee range have merit like racial knives or riot shields but our characters exist in a universe with such inordinately powerful ranged technologies that running around with a sword over one shoulder is a ******* liability no practical corporate entity.

Would any of these things be different or unique enough to warrant their own models and the work that goes into them? Would they add any new and exciting gameplay? all signs point to no, this is pointless redundancy for the sake of redundancy.
We have a lot of gun varieties because this is a shooter. We do not have a lot of melee weapon varieties because this isn't dungeons and dragons.

We have a lot of gun varieties because this is a shooter. We do not have a lot of melee weapon varieties because this isn't dungeons and dragons. Well why couldn't they? Gallente use a one handed weapon (shorts sword/maul) and a shield which can be used as mobile cover (using aim button) that can be depleated We have nks which can be charged but have short range A two handed claymore or Axe for whoever which swings slow but can take out heavies in one shot potentially. A whip which can be used at longer range for less damage and maybe be used to drag an opponent. Short distance out of cover or what have you.
I'm not saying it should be changed because yes there's a lot that could be fixed, however I'm in favor of it cause I hate but stroking and pistol whipping, think it would add variety, and also people have been looking for more weapons, so maybe melee? Since we are discussing it. Also since melee functions from stamina we can have performance differences there, and it creates more interplay for cardiac regulators.
Edit: oh **** just realized people have been asking for the web things from eve that slow ships, this could be a fair way of implementation: myrmydons using nova tridents and webs. |

I know One Eyed King supports the extra Melee weapons and it like he says, Because it is more fun than guns, is by and large more silent, and you know when you stab someone you either earn their respect, or make them rage. All those who oppose just hate getting killed by knives and will rage more to the others close-quarter weapons. There is no real reason to go against this and high technical melee weapons are a must any who says its impossible cannot think correctly.

I don't have faith in anything, faith is a silly thing to have.
If said sword was a sidearm, it would make sense. But a sword as a sidearm just doesn't make sense. Also, swords aren't necessarily better than knives because they are bigger (the logic you're most likely using).
And that's a stupid statement to make.

Why not also simply make knife swipes our standard melee attack like I've heard they used to be?

They made them into actual weapons because people wanted to always have them out. Also, it used to be knife, not knives, as you only swiped with one.

I find it quite to the contrary. I see no point in constructing a grammatically sound sentence structure for someone whom you have no respect.

Just accept it dude some people don't like arcade-y sword swinging bullshit because it is "NOT" cool out of context in what should be a tactical shooter. As usually I can't argue with how Pokey does things.

We don't have PvE therefor we should have katanas? lol
Like seriously, just because you want cartoony bouncing around with swords, does not mean that it's acceptable in a game that is supposed to be a heavy gritty shooter. Doesn't make me a hater, just makes me not want another Destiny/Warframe/Super Mario FPS

The New Eden universe is traditionally heavy and gritty. Dust takes place in the New Eden Universe. I expect it to it feel as such.
Jumping over buildings and swinging around katanas, is not heavy and gritty. It's Destiny ****. It's Warframe ****. Just because something is cool, doesn't mean it has a place in every video game you play.

So your argument is: "doesn't feel right to me"? OK I guess that's fair, but its also presuming that it will change the meta into that, and I disagree that it will. There's no real reason not to try it.also if you expand weapon types with other mechanics it will add a lot of variety. |

I mean at what point in your mind does it change from "This is fine for Dust" to "That's unacceptable"? That is ridiculous, so what your saying is... You just don't get it and is without a reason other than "It feels out of place". Give it 2 months after is implemented and nothing will have chang, much, sense we get cooler weapons than guns. Your feeling towards this is purely bias and just because its future base doesn't mean close-combat weapons are impractical to a gun.

And a sword offers a significant difference in gameplay compared to a knife? More damage, slower, and longer range? How is that anything more than a variant of the knife?

Yelling "counterplay" and "tactics" from the roof tops is fine but what does that mean? Why should the tone of this game that was gritty and dark suddenly shift to acade-y to accommodate these unbelievable weapons that continue to not make sense in a New Eden setting?
EDIT: Having read that response....... I genuinely cannot believe it. You consider a solo player rushing a gunline tactical and more over would suggest players attempt to do this on a Commando frame?
I uh...... I'm genuinely stumped.

Tower Shield + Sword So basically a Sentinel with a long knife. Nothing new here.
Trident + ....net? Again just longer range melee, the only thing that's new here would be the webifier effect, which doesn't require a melee weapon to actually be a thing.
Whip A grab effect? Why? What's the advantage of pulling them in? What will do you do once you have them there? whip them at close range while they shoot your in the chest? Or do you stick with 'ensnare' which is again....basically a webifier, which doesn't and shouldn't be tied to a weapon.
Greatsword Ah yes, so kinda like....Nova Knives, which already do some AV damage. Thing is not one does it because you can't keep up with a tank, or a dropship, or an LAV. Or better yet you DO stab a stationary LAV and it blows up and kills you in the process. But actually you should test this repeatedly. Your running around chasing HAVs with a knife will amuse everyone. Get some Yakkety Sax going. It'll be great.

You Blow up vehicles when you weaken them,say 20-110 than grenade, you don't continuously slash and kill yourself. Swords I listed have different types on my thread have different range, damage, swings, and attack speed. Did you even read my post, say really read it.

Oh read it. I just don't really see why we need to introduce entirely new weapon types for functions that can be easily obtained with existing weapons or variants of.
Its pointless to even talk about it. If we're not getting new HAV models or proper racial variants of AV weapons, then adding a slew of silly melee weapons is about as bottom of the priority list as you can get.

Why use one tank than than the other. Why add the combat and rail rifle Why add new tanks why add new game modes why are the Devs adding Warp Gates.
So the Player doesn't get bored of the current stuff. Even if I have to pay to use them, I would and will because I want to. I don't spent much money on this game because its all the same. What I'm saying is you add a gun, gives us more melee.
Agaim why add those two guns and tank, because people wanted them even when they weren't necessary. Why not Swords,Lances, and a Hammer that sends out Shockwaves when it hits your shield. Why...

What would make Dust much more unique and different to other First-person shooters would be to have things from previous game and place them here.
Make Dust a Futuristic First-person shooters with multiple melee weapons. What so wrong about that.

The Tanks and core racial rifles have always been necessary. I believe you will see case and point when Rattati releases the Amarr reskinned tanks. Either they will not have enough fitting capacity to make their 2/5 lay out worth it, or will have so much we can abuse it to high heaven. They are required for balance and are currently in, and have always been a part of, this game.
A sword and whip not so much required as desired.

Tanks as they exist now will not be able to destroy one another at worst unless they are caught during cool down and at best they will barely be different to the Gal HAV so go ahead and try.

I remember this conversation back from yesteryear
I remember advocating for a heavy melee weapon as well, funny how things come around full circle. Anyways, here is my idea, don't judge it until you give it some thought.
Nova Boulder, with successful lab demonstrations on Endor's moon, Allotek scientists have developed a new melee weapon by harnessing the quantum crystallization found within the crust to increase the viscosity of luminous waves to a stable solid. Friend Foe Identification allows safe handling for wielders who can use these as high intensity energy shields that also have the ability to roll over enemy infantry causing massive hemorrhaging. A secondary mode can also be activated by having wielders stand atop high places to push these down on unsuspecting foes.
MAKE IT HAPPEN CCP!!
To help further the trend of soft sci fi, I also advocate for multi colored alien space chicks with "open minds", but animal mounts or pscionics work as well.

Similarly reasonable.

The Amarr version should be a disco ball that shoots lasers.
The Gallente one must be on fire.
The Minmatar one has to be made of steel.
And the Caldari would be..........blue.

I propose a net/ polearm for 2 reasons; it satisfies the requests on the boards I've seen for a stasis webifier equivalent, and it fits caldari doctrine(in as much as a melee weapon can) by immobilizing the enemy, thus stopping them from closing ranks with(theoretical) gunline allies, and can be used to strand someone out of covers...a sort of advance defense. Also spears have the longest reach of melee weapons traditionally used in warfare. Minmitar whip: because again it can be used as a snare which harkens to their Savannah hunter heritage, and is more tactically versatile if we give it a drag effect. Amaran great sword: with av capabilitys really brings home the idea of superiority when you can kick a vehicle...
There this introduces: a new av option, and three new tactics to work into the battlefield. They are functionally different from knives and hypothetically could help balance commandos if we give them a speed boost now that I think of it...
Tower Shield + Sword So basically a Sentinel with a long knife. Nothing new here. Trident + ....net? Again just longer range melee, the only thing that's new here would be the webifier effect, which doesn't require a melee weapon to actually be a thing. Whip A grab effect? Why? What's the advantage of pulling them in? What will do you do once you have them there? whip them at close range while they shoot your in the chest? Or do you stick with 'ensnare' which is again....basically a webifier, which doesn't and shouldn't be tied to a weapon. Greatsword Ah yes, so kinda like....Nova Knives, which already do some AV damage. Thing is not one does it because you can't keep up with a tank, or a dropship, or an LAV. Or better yet you DO stab a stationary LAV and it blows up and kills you in the process. But actually you should test this repeatedly. Your running around chasing HAVs with a knife will amuse everyone. Get some Yakkety Sax going. It'll be great. Your assessments are innacurate or unfounded: Shield and sword(gives directional HP boost on any suit not just sentinals its an option that can be employed differently in different situations on different suits your over simply location is flawed. Net/polearm: why SHOULDNT a net be tied to a weapon? And immobilization is useful for any number of situations, quick get away, stranding opponent out of cover for Ally's to target. Heavy sword: like the others say the melee is just to weaken, nades are for the finish. Whip/snare: secondary is for support, can be used to bring people into the line if fire of your allies, or to delay an opponent so an ally can get into cover. Seriously though as someone who successfully uses nk I can vouch melee is viable and more options will open up new approaches to combat. |

As am I, I concur with the Caldarian Lifeform. I find melee much more groundbreaking than another gun(Unless shockwave rifle and Darkmater or blackhole gun) Its Fun, to bring a knife to a gunfight and even better winning in it. I still find it awesome to die meleeing as I become peeve when dying while using a gun.

*sigh* Well I'm tired of bickering, clearly we're not going to see eye to eye so I'll just write it off as a disagreement on what kind of things actually fit the universe and what don't. I think this sort of thing completely tears apart a massive part of what I like about Dust, you seem to think these ideas fit in fine. Obviously a pretty clear fundamental difference in opinion.
But don't take it the wrong way when I say that I would likely quit Dust if this sort of stuff started popping up in-game. It would honestly ruin the experience for me in such a way that I would be disinclined to continue supporting or playing the game. All too often I see scope creep in games which have a very rich and vibrant universe that is ruined by things that are either out of place or taken to such an extreme that it betrays the setting.
I suppose I find it unsettling when games try to incorporate elements from other games "because it's cool" even if it doesn't really fit the original theme. I'm a big fan of RPGs, particularly sci-fi ones, so story and setting are by far the most important aspects of a game to me. So even if an element mechanically works to alter gameplay in a meaningful manner, if it ruins the setting or tone of the game, it ruins the game for me.

A Nova sword or a condensed blazing sword sounds and looks more like it makes sense, you augment is flaw and ridiculous.
A knife can be consealed much better, hence why it can be easily used as a sidearm. a knife can be swung faster, making it being able to have a high DPS, making it able to reasonably kill lightly armored targets in a short period of time. knives also are a lot of the time used in comparable ranges to other sidearms.
a ******* sword has none of the above.

This convo is mainly about the world of soft sci fi vs hard sci fi. Which is what my original post was attempting to hit in a humorous way. The Eve Universe tries hard to keep its sci fi on the harder side of the spectrum. They even have a rational explanation as to why we can keep our memories/experience upon death. Most other games just hand wave this.
I fence, I go shooting, I like weapons, I like the history of weapons and reading about future weapon technology plausibility. In no way shape or form would a sword be superior in any given situation as it exists in a world with guns of equal technology. To do so would be to reduce the hardness of the sci fi and into fantasy.
I don't think people truly appreciate how effective guns really are. Within current tech, our unaided bare fist punches as humans have more force and energy behind it than a bullet from a gun. Yet it is the bullet from the gun that kills, because the gun is not restricted by human limitations and dispersion. Its able to concentrate its force onto a smaller area.
So now with energy weapons, you have a weapon that spends a fraction of the energy for a millisecond, which can cover vast distances once it leaves its point of origin vs a theoretical energy sword that is burning away its energy for a much longer period over its entire blade spreading out the energy. So swords automatically do less damage with the same level of energy. Plus having that kind of energy so close to your own body is also equally dangerous, whereas in a gun the energy is safely compartmentalize away from the user. Even for non energy sword concepts like monomolecular blades, Van der Waals forces would cause the two pieces to reconnect again, so that isn't really feasible either.
Effective distance, essentially at the distance guns are no longer effective, swords are no longer effective. I know this entirely based on my fencing/sparing. Once you are within grappling range, you are able to manipulate your opponents melee hand or can outmaneuver it with a dagger. And any attack against an unsuspecting opponent with a melee weapon is equally taken care of if not done better by the use of a dagger due to the increased mobility to target more critical areas. So daggers definitely have an advantage here where guns or swords would have much less.
Mass effect, star wars, etc are examples of soft sci fi / space fantasies, where real world physics and tactics are changed for the sake of the "rule of cool". Eve tries to stay away from the rule of cool, which is why I think large melee weapons wouldn't fit into Eve's theme.
I am not saying large sci fi melee weapons aren't cool, they are as they appeal to our simplistic and biological understanding of violence, its why bone in thickest in our foreheads than other parts of our skull because we evolved to get punched and not shot when we get into fights. But large melee weapons are definitely apart of the space fantasy / soft sci fi culture rather than the hard sci fi culture due to how technology has outpaced our biological evolution.

Godin Thekiller wrote:A ******* sword has none of the above. Which sword type?
1: Shields made to be able to fit reasonably within a shield would be weaker than the shielding within a Scout suit, same for Armor. You can't just simply say "Oh, it'll be better because reasons". That makes zero sense. Also, **** your hi tech shield, my hi tech rifle will shoot straight through it.
2: I don't give a **** about your playstyle, a firearm has consistantly been proven to be VASTLY better than a bladed weapon. This has been proven time and time again, over actual history, and in SEVERAL video games.
3: Riot shield and a sword and shield is two separate things. Don't even try and act as if they are the same thing.
4: You think a melee weapon is more suitable than a rifle. Okay, find a time machine, ask all those slain tribal warriors in Latin/South America and the Sub-Saharan Africa regions and ask them how much better their swords was vs. dem boom sticks.

Also, **** your hi tech shield, my hi tech rifle will shoot straight through it. 2: I don't give a **** about your playstyle, a firearm has consistantly been proven to be VASTLY better than a bladed weapon. This has been proven time and time again, over actual history, and in SEVERAL video games. 3: Riot shield and a sword and shield is two separate things. Don't even try and act as if they are the same thing. 4: You think a melee weapon is more suitable than a rifle. Okay, find a time machine, ask all those slain tribal warriors in Latin/South America and the Sub-Saharan Africa regions and ask them how much better their swords was vs. dem boom sticks.
To clarify Riot Shields are believable, to some very small degree, as weapons but they themselves are only used to protect police from thrown objects, bludgeoning attacks, and maybe ricochets. They will not OHKO dropsuits or even inflict much more damage than a punch if used to attack and should ideally always be used with a Secondary Fire Arm.

It's funny how scrubs try to make themselves look like badasses, when they are simply not.
Oh, and you're damn right I'm trolling, there's no point in trying to talk logic to you

Oswald Rehnquist, You make a fair and convincing augment that can make sense in the views of many, for your well thought opinion infact sounds plausible for Dust is hard core.
Godin Thekiller, You idiot, by insulting me you only made yourself appear foolish and me to stick with my Gut.
True also cancelled you by stating the fact we are super soldiers and strenght with genetic and drug inducing makes a monster, energy shied- HA!
Pun intended

I would I have stop bugging ya if you stop with insults. You didn't which means you are imprudent, intransigent, and arrogant. No farther digging.
