My goodness. This is a legit OP thread on my favorite weapon that many people thought were a joke back during Chromosome? Interesting.

No. The knives are perfect as they are. The fact that you let a scout get close to you to be able to tap your thick shoulders is very telling on how you fail to bring along some company to cover you. Heavy suits were never meant to be alone.

What's next? Is situational awareness going to be deemed OP by the other side?

The buttons you press to shoot and kill people are OP, of course. They should be removed and the melee animation should be replaced with hugs.

if im ever caught alone by a good scout im pretty much dead unless i can catch him first some of them are real good

Wtf as a heavy someone OHK you from behind... you dont even get a chance to shoot because you don't see it. No one should OHK a heavy. That's just not right. You can lose a 100k ISP suit what - to like a 5k ISK scout build with a Nova Knife. It just does not make sense.

Oops. Moved to general discussion.

That has to be the worst feeling in this game. Out a lone, just strolling through the hills. What's that I see over there? Uh oh, a scout. Wait, where'd he go?

*pulls out a bass instrument*

*whips out a stick with string attached to it*

*plays the tune from JAWS*

Yes! Give them horse blinders!!

You are greatly underestimating how much ISK it costs to get a fitting that can one hit kill a heavy, not to mention the massive SP sink required.

I have to ask, is it supposed to be "Minja?"

Like, is it referencing something? Would be pretty cool if it was.

Not sure if you know (urban dict. has its own def.), but minja on Gypsi means vulva in pejorative sense.

I don't think that's the relevance here.

"Min" because "Minmatar" - their Scout's racial bonuse is a damage buff to melee attacks AND NOVA KNIVES. So they're the super Ninja Knifers.

90k isk for my suit, 11m sp into minmitar scouting

lol. Gottcha, fools! I play as a scout myself and have been trying out nova knives. They are pretty sweet! I disagree with ppl who say that it takes tons of SP to get them to be good. All you need is militia scout and enough SP to get into advanced nova knife (standard is garbage though). I started this thread to see if there is enough momentum in the game for qq about the knives, since they are pretty dam deadly. Mark my words, though. In the future there will be much QQ about it as more and more ppl try the knives.

You whining about knives is like a knifer whining about a heavy gunner after running at him in straight line from 50km away. A weapon isn't OP just because your tactics suck...and they CLEARLY do if you don't watch your back and let a scout get behind you without noticing.

Less whining more getting good at tactics might help ;)

Wait, did you even read what I wrote.

THE END IS NIGHT!!

People are complaining about op nova knives, we are all doomed!!!!!

Something along the lines of: "I said something patently ridiculous, but rather than admit I'm a dolt I make up some tosh about it being a ruse and you all fell into my trap, HA HA HA, coz really, who would say something THAT stupid, right guys?"

I don't think he needed to. You're complaining about a knife in a game full of guns and tanks. Let that settle in for a moment...

lol rly? you kids are cute.

Hey Ludvig,

Can you bend over a little bit? I want my knife back.

You are greatly underestimating how much ISK it costs to get a fitting that can one hit kill a heavy, not to mention the massive SP sink required.

!
Heavies don't bend over. If you drop you soap, you just let it sit there Btw, do you even sanitize those things?

Hahaha. What do you want OP, a range nerf? Ahahahahahaha....was this thread for real?

I like to keep the blood stains of my enemies. By the way, you might want to get tested.

Heavies may not like to bend over, but they like it in the back from anyone wearing yellow

Wait, I thought only consciousness was transferred between clones

Like it or not - no one bothers asking them but they do take it all the same.

Oh ****, there are even OP threads about knives now.

When I sneak on heavies my mouth starts to water nom nom nom.
It's a risk I take,, one burst from that gatlin gun and I'm with the clone angels; you damn right it should cut your armor in half, they are Nova knifes.

Everyone, raise your knifes in the air!

Go suck an egg loser. The knife damage is one of the only things that actually works in this game. If a scout can get close enough to a HEAVY and still live, he deserves the kill. Also, as a knifer I promise he didn't one shot you with just a basic nova knife, so chill. You complain about getting one shot - do you know how much **** can one shot a scout? I promise there's more than just a nova knife.

Seriously? I rarely get killed by knives, in fact I kill more people trying to knife me more than anything. Sure I get damaged but it's funny.

Scouts are sneaky...would if feel better if it was a shotgun? LoL

I have to be very careful to not be seen; a knifer is dead once someone notices them outside of melee range.
Btw, I HAVE OHKed a heavy before, but that was a charged hit with prototype knives, a damage mod, and the minmatar scout racial adding another 15 or 20% to the damage.

You mad bro? We're you the heavy that I decided to knife in the face when you had a fullly charged forge gun out in the open looking at our tank?
I really enjoyed watching your fat suit twitch as you tried to comprehend what was about to happen. FYI, I stood behind you for a solid 10 sec deciding to knife you in the back or in the face. Face won and the tears are delicious.
Btw, my scout fit costs around 40k, and I lose more of them on average than you do camping at a distance with a forge gun.
Working as intended.

Lame.

I think you get the point from all the replies.

Bye.

I tend to think nova knives are very well balanced

I agree 100%
