Drake435 SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 49	Posted - 2013.05.12 23:21:00 - [1] - Quote They are now extremely fun to use and not quite as difficult to use pre-Uprising. Risk with these knives can bring such great rewards. Yesterday, I stalked a squad, ran into their group, and managed to kill 3 of them with the 4th with 63 armor left. For me right now, I'm only using the advanced knives and with them fully charged, can OHKO the players I've encountered. Can't wait to see what proto knives are like.
Nguruthos IX Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 379	Posted - 2013.05.12 23:23:00 - [2] - Quote I don't use knives but I know you need to be able to charge them while running. Is this going to be addressed sooner than soon(tm)?

Lynn Beck Tank Bros. DARKSTAR ARMY 57	Posted - 2013.05.12 23:28:00 - [7] - Quote Don't really need to charge while running, would defeat hte purpose of charging. Why not just click-slash? That's not what i want. I like it the way it is. Jump off a wall while holding charge and hit a heavy. use normal melee or insta-releases on sprint knifing. I just hope they lower or eliminate the stamina use of melee, can't tell you how many times i've charged someone, jumped, and found that I can't even punch them anymore. Really ticks me off.

I....did not know this. That probably explains why I couldn't finish off this one Amarr med frame guy when I panicked and spammed the slash button. Lesson learned. Close distance between enemy quickly, charge knives, and win. But seriously, the charge time is ridiculously low at the advanced stage. The proto stage would just own.
Synthetic Perception Venilen Eugenics Agency 1	Posted - 2013.05.12 23:56:00 - [9] - Quote I wish we could charge while sprinting though.

It would provide another option of attack. My sprint is fast and if someone gets the slightest drop on right now I am unable to close the gap fast enough. With the sprint it would offer slightly more "range", or options we have.

With the sprint it would offer slightly more "range", or options we have. I looked at the numbers and so far it seems that adding the ability to sprint with the charge held is borderline overpowered and we risk CCP over nerfing it. The ADV knives alone without bonuses and without the charge can already do 300 HP at least (up to 600 HP with the charge). PRO knives without bonuses and without charge can do 400 HP and far more with the charge to the point where knifers have reported to be able to OHK a heavy. Let's also not forget two more things here: 1. If you hold the charge, it emits a slight sizzling sound that your enemies can here. An expert knifer would avoid that by charging at the very last moment after carefully picking his target. 2. Cloaking modules will soon(tm) be introduced as pointed out by CCP's earlier dev blogs on equipment items. This will eliminate the need for holding the charge while sprinting.

It sounds kl until you think abt the drawbacks (high power/low movement speed etc etc) that they could implement. If cloaking in EvE is anyting to go by the cons will be numerous. will still try it out tho. EDIT: i suppose you will likely get a covert dropsuit but I would hate to say goodbye to my minnie scout.
Ludvig Enraga KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 196	Posted - 2013.05.18 03:20:00 - [13] - Quote I find them very difficult to use as a support weapon. If for example I run out of ammo in a firefight 1v1 and switch to my secondary weapon Nova Knife, I can't finish the target off as they just start backpedaling while reloading and even though I am just a few paces away I just cant catch up and use the knife even as a scout since sprinting is not an option. So eventually they just finish reloading their primary weapon and I am dead. Seems like there is just no way to use the knife unless you sneak up on a target that s standing still from the back. Am I right
