thank you for posting this tosch, ive posted it serveral times but the post dies within a day or two lets try and keep this one alive because it really is becoming a serious problem

You think people with guns don't have hit detection issues either? lmao

Of course they do, but the consequences of your knife not hitting repeatedly basically insures yoru death if you don't have the discipline to call it and find someone else.

With a gun it is a lot more forgiving

Tried nova knives on an alt and I couldn't agree more it was horrible I found it easy to sneak up on people and stab them but most of the times shield flashes hitmarker then the guy on full health either notices the swish sound and turns round or just carrys on oblivious to a knife in the back. Which seems to hit but does as much damage as farting in their general direction.

I agree on the named issues.
please fix!


Additionally reduce the speed of moving backwards by 20%, thx.

You are not the only one suffering from bad hit detection. Trying to kill a sprinting scount in 7m with a HMG is like a nightmare because not only my turn speed is slow, but also because half my hits don't register

+1

In those dance of death situations, at least both have the same problem getting in hits, but not being able to slash people in the back that are running, even though you are a lot faster, doesn't seem right, is quite annoying, and at times frustrating.

I had countless encounters where i was following a clueless opponent over what seemed half the map, while slashing at him again and again, seeing that shieldflash without results, until he finally decides to stand still long enough for me to actually hit him.

Sometimes that also leads to such ridiculous situations where we both run full speed, me glued to his back, which is the only thing i can see at this point, until he spots an enemy, and suddenly moves back while firing... Right into my backside, since me being just as suddenly infront of him.

This is an issue. But it's an issue that affects everyone, and because it affects the entire game it's one of CCP's biggest priorities. This thread's pretty pointless.

I'm an exclusive knifer too, but this isn't gonna help.

You know what I do? When I'm sprinting after the enemy, first I jump, then I charge knives while in air, then I unleash the knives once I practically land on his back and that works most of the time unless he suddenly stops or changes direction.

Alright CCP, I have a very big complaint here.

TL;DR: Nova Knifing is rendered to half useful because of hit detection.

There have been countless occasions in which I have attacked and struck mercs up close and personal especially when me and my target are locked in what I like to call the dance of death. But in about 60-70% of these wild encounters I have noticed that my knife attacks don't seem to register any damage onto my target even though I am right there up against them to the point of hugging them. This is made even most apparent when the target is moving in any direction and even far more apparent when I am chasing them. As I chase my targets, I have no problem catching up especially on the heavies. But even as I am so close to them that their back side is filling up my TV screen, my knife attacks don't deal any damage at all unless they stop sprinting.

This is getting ridiculous CCP. My knives are my main weapon and I am unable to stab a fat, slow heavy so long as he is sprinting away from me even though I am right on top of him like ranch sauce on buffalo wings. The same thing happens when I attack a logi, assault, and other scouts.

You really need to fix this because I am having too many moment in which my target should be dead but they are not dead because hit detection saved their lives.

you should swap that.. run ishnoks on your L slot and your sub by on your S slot.

it will make more sense when you run with it for a bit.. :)
