And if you can come up with good bonuses to encourage that play style, not only will I support it, I'll spec into Amarr scout (my first non gal suit). As the ranged flanker has been my preferred style for a long time.
What if they got a bonus to KinCat efficiency over time? For each 1 second sprinting +1% efficiency or something like that, encourages long distance flanking maneuvers rather than CQC sprint, kill,sprint, kill.

One Eyed King wrote:So a thought just occurred to me...
It has been awhile since we talked about charging NKs while sprinting. Previously, I was always dead set against it as it would have made knifing super OP.
Quil's comment about Rattati needing to bring down the shotgun a bit (though it affects Knifers despite any suggestion so far that our data similarly shows we are OP), in combination with the new scan mechanics makes me think it needs a second look.
Consider Quil's math on having to catch up walk speed vs walk speed regarding other suits. When it comes to lone heavies, a lot of times I charge while walking a few meters away so they don't hear me charge, and so I don't risk Raptor Jumping right past them. Now, I could very well show up on their tacnet even if they don't hear me. Even though they would end up surviving my Charged Ishukones anyways.
Do any of you think that a charge while sprinting mechanic in 1.10 and beyond, given what we know so far, would make knifers over perform like it would have pre 1.10?
I have to say that I am still against charging while sprinting. It will make us lazy. The leap-kill is still the most efficient way to take someone out, perhaps having a way to streamline that better would be in order.
For example: Right now we keep our momentum when we jump, which allows us to charge and swipe at people, often getting at least one swipe in the face of our victim, netting a 150% bonus damage on that swing. This is ideal for taking out heavies in one slash of Ishukones. The problem is that the lack of inertia allows people to literally jitter out of the way without any loss of speed when changing directions. After we've committed to the jump, they can twitch into a different spot and they disappear from our field of view.
If the game had deceleration to change vector when moving, leap-kills would become 50% more intuitive.
Secondly, what if we reduced jump height? When we jump, we are committed to that jump for the duration we spend in the air. We don't need to jump for a long distance, we just need to be airborn for 0.8 seconds. Often we are flying too high which leads to a much longer commitment to our destination. This is what keeps me from using dual KinCats. If we had a way to jump less high, without reducing our speed, we could have quicker leap kills with shorter periods of commitment without being able to change our destination. This means we could jump at our targets from closer without the risk of flying past them, and if we miss, we spend less time being committed to that mistake, flying through the air.
What are others opinions' on the matter? |

IDEA: create a bigger margin of difference between a jump with the button held down and one with the jump only tapped. There already is a small difference I can confirm 100% (though, that difference MAY only be graphical/camera related, but there is definitely a graphical effect the moment you let go of the jump button). I would propose a light tap of the jump button send you less high vertically. this would cater to leap kills that need short jumps at full speed without reducing the ability of jumping over between rooftops. |

@ Kaeru
Uncomfortable with a few of the claims presented above. I am going to nitpick the lines in question to ensure that we're on the same page.
"The leap-kill is still the most efficient way to take someone out..."
I (for one) would be uncomfortable ascribing the label "most efficient" to a largely unreliable maneuver. As you pointed out, even the slightest variation in target trajectory lands you off course.
"... often getting at last one swipe in face of our victim, netting a 150% bonus damage on that swing"
In my experience, Nova Knife headshots are superbly rare, even on days when I am not drinking. The word "often" implies otherwise.
If the game had deceleration to change vector when moving, leap-kills would become 50% more intuitive.
Deceleration is a wonderful idea, but this "50% more intuitive" line has my troll detector tinging. |

You have every right to nitpik, you make good points. I will try to address them and clarify.
' I (for one) would be uncomfortable ascribing the label "most efficient" to a largely unreliable maneuver. As you pointed out, even the slightest variation in target trajectory lands you off course. '
It is efficient in terms of time to kill. It is the quickest kill timed from the moment you begin to move in on the target to the moment they are dead. If it is unreliable (miss) or undesirable (loss of stamina) that is another discussion entirely.
"In my experience, Nova Knife headshots are superbly rare, even on days when I am not drinking. The words "often" and "at least" suggest otherwise."
I seem to get them often enough to be worth mentioning, I got second place during the sidearm event in my attempt to name nova knives and I could really tell when I was getting headshot damage boosts by how quickly certain specific suits would go down. I also found out that it has a sound effect, separate from the standard headshot sound (but it's much much quieter and easily gets drowned out by the noise). The way it happens the MOST often is when you leap beside them rather than onto their backs. This way you slash at their face, not the back.
Quote:If the game had deceleration to change vector when moving, leap-kills would become 50% more intuitive.
"Deceleration is a wonderful idea, but the "50% more intuitive" 'bit has my troll detector tingling."
Intuitive was a very poor choice of word. I meant no trolling whatsoever with this. I will try my best to explain through example rather than looking for another word to interpret.
Right now, with sharp sudden changes in direction and speed, coupled with hit detection issues. it's easy to attempt a leap-kill, land seemingly on target, blue hit sparks and all, only to find your target is no longer in field of view. Sometimes it's not even clear if they are on your right or left. This is fatal, frustrating and unpolished. With inertia that forced deceleration before changing directions, both the success and failure of the maneuver would feel more natural. If you really messed up, it would be obvious right at the beginning of the jump. If they just moved out of the way after you began to jump, it would be clear where they would be going and how to correct your mistake after you land. Perhaps "natural" would have been a better choice of word.
"Please don't take offense. I really like your ideas; just want to make sure you've a solid foundation to support them."
I have a lot of respect for you and I will happily take all criticism. If we cannot criticize ourselves we cannot be honest with one another. No offense can be taken from that.
EDIT: changed my wording in the headshot paragraph, that didn't come out right |

I don't even know where to begin with this Many people, particularly when they first start Knifing go for the Static style Cutting up the stationary targets Victims are Snipers, people hacking objects, standing in doorways (why they do this I will never understand)
Speed cutting is probably what I do mostGǪ Never stop moving. Around corners, off catwalks, constantly hunting people down. Damage is huge for this because It's not often you get a full charge hit. Lot's of run up beside and angle slashing. Quick turn for the hit after getting a bit in front of them. This requires using their field of view against them. People packing Plasma Canons are easy victims from the right side.
Raptor is a great move chasing down those suits who move fast, and are all alone. people know this one pretty well i think
Opportunist strikes are pretty common as well. This is just relying on stealth and victims simply being unaware of your presence. I think this happens a lot and is the natural progression from the hitting stationary targets. Many a Gal Knifer uses this technique, and can be accomplished without speed fairly easily in large socket settings.

@ Kaeru and Quil
I agree that at this poit Sprint Charging would probably still be OP.
I like have always liked the idea of including inertia in the movement, not just for knifing but for all the strafing complaints.
Just trying to figure out what sort of changes we can come up with in case 1.10 is really hard on knifers without removing the changes that brought that about in the first place.

Sprinting with charge should never happen, ever. It's way too easy to 1 shot a suit now, it would just become another shotgun.
The backpedal penalty would be really nice. It would almost offset the pain of the cloak becoming unusable :(
