I did not biomass. started the termination timer and decided to delete the game before biomass. As others have said I could change my mind and it reminded me that I do make bad decisions when not thinking straight. Thinking now of maybe just playing less and only if in a squad. Maybe that will help but I doubt it. Going to even try to use my stereo bluetooth headset for mic. I really want this game to be fun but the last week has just been proto stomp after proto stomp and it is just getting really old. Guess I just need to sit back smoke a blunt and sing hakuna matata, lol
Did you cancel the biomass? Not sure deleting the game will cause it to cancel...can't remember how that works exactly.
You could just take a break from it for now. Recharge your batteries, and get your will to play back. As for proto-stomps...just go out there, do your thing, enjoy yourself. Let them stomp.
What I do anyway - YMMV :)

You have to confirm the biomass after the timer lapses. It does not auto-execute.

As someone who almost biomassed after the Rouge Wedding I can confirm it doesn't automatically gib your character when the timer ends. You have to choose again.

why does trhis always come up?
Always use IshNoks if you knife.
ZNs are nice and all- but go IshNok or go home. With knives it's not about the money or the fitting. It is (or was?) about killing tanked fatties as fast as possible. If you are hacking away at the first fatty when IshNoks would have killed him already and die to his logi/fatty buddies what good did that ZN do you?

I put SP into the PLC for the AV.
I agree that the STD version is usually plenty for a direct infantry hit but the proto shines in the AV department. The extra splash damage, which is more common than a direct hit, is also worth it in a gun fight IMO.

Just wanted to say. I ******* love knives. ******* love them. So much fun. So much pain. It's the only weapon where I have specific events running through my head 15 minutes after the battle is done.
Just now I should've had the minmando...should've had him dammit. I screwed up...he was launching schwarmas....I flanked him, he moved backwards, I missed a swipe, he pulled out his other weapon and ended me. If I'd attacked from the rear, been more patient, it might've gone differently. If I'd kept closer to him...anticipated a surprise and been ready for it....it might've gone differently.
I don't know if it's luck, my following Arkena's gal guide and getting some better situational awareness, or what, but I'm doing pretty good with em the last few days. I took three mercs out inside 3 - 4 seconds just now. Yeah two were hacking but still. No other weapon will let you kill that fast.
Several weeks back I did a double-kill on two mercs - got congratulatory mail for that one from both victims.
Also agree with Mollerz...really gotta use protos - need that alpha. That said, if you're learning how to use em, then perhaps you would use something cheaper to get a feel for how they work, how the fights work, all the different dynamics before expecting to kill with them. I guess that might make sense. But you should not be expecting to stay alive with anything less than ishnoks imho. Personally I won't run em on anything but a minja, but others have had success in different suits.
Oh **** yeah and I also shot a LAV driver out of his wankmobile with a PLC today too. I love it when that happens. I've now killed drivers in LAVs with forge gun, shotgun, nova knife, and now the PLC. Someone here did it with flaylock recently (caught on tape too) - I guess that's next HAHA.
Anyway I had a blast as you can tell. PLC and NKs are now my favourite weapons. Moreso than my beloved Scrambler Pistol, may her nerfed RoF forgive me.
PS. re: knife alpha: obviously that fatty that killed Spade with MLT knives is an outlier.

Duncan, the same thing can happen when you approach someone's back. Occasionally your own body will prevent them from moving backwards, more often than not they move right through/past you and the end is the same.
There are no guarantees with knifing.
But those fun moments are totally worth it.

I understand your worries, family history can be a scary thing, and understand where you are coming from on some levels. I would recommend some support in a professional capacity, not necessarily a shrink. Consider a professional counsellor, and/or other social/emotional support. also feel free to vent at me if you want, i'm cool with that. You have plenty of ways to find me

I have been running them on my Gal scout. I know this is unorthodox but I believe it can still work.
I am familiar with using a SG and I am a good shot with it so I am used to getting in close etc but knives are a different animal.
There have been several times when I was sure I had a kill but somehow missed. Am I getting too close? Is that even possible?
Results have not been great. I have trouble with moving targets and catching mercs from behind. I am running 2 Kin cats but you can't sprint while charging. I know about the sprint/jump/charge technique but *sigh*
I haven't been clacked up either. Is this bad too? Am I doing it all wrong?
Can anyone point me to resources to help me get better? youtube, a thread, etc or offer any wisdom.? Knife 101

I have been running them on my Gal scout. I know this is unorthodox but I believe it can still work.
I am familiar with using a SG and I am a good shot with it so I am used to getting in close etc but knives are a different animal.
There have been several times when I was sure I had a kill but somehow missed. Am I getting too close? Is that even possible?
Results have not been great. I have trouble with moving targets and catching mercs from behind. I am running 2 Kin cats but you can't sprint while charging. I know about the sprint/jump/charge technique but *sigh*
I haven't been clacked up either. Is this bad too? Am I doing it all wrong?
Can anyone point me to resources to help me get better? youtube, a thread, etc or offer any wisdom.? Knife 101
Nice one Dreis. cant remember if I've seen this before. some comments:
1. needs confirmation but this was around the time of the shinobi event, and so suits had less ehp back then. not sure which suits will go down from an uncharged swipe now. assaults have a lot more ehp these days. mlt amarr heavy frame can run 1181ehp. thats one plate and one extender.
2. 2m28: great example of moving with your target to connect. first slash had missed too i think.
Decided to do some comparisons of ehp. proto only, most races missing, but gives a feel for numbers. With the exception of the heavy frames, the fits I created could all run a GEK-38 and T-12 ion pistol. The heavy can wield an MH-82. Minmando an EXO-5 plus GN-13 flaylock. Basically they can all fight with ADV weapons.
No plates on the scout. 3 on the assault (thats very slow, not sure how many do this). 3 on the sentinel...not sure if ppl do this, its slow as molasses with a measly 4 hp/s rep rate. With a logibro, perhaps yes.
scout (min): 212 - 678 assault (gal): 538 - 1194 logi (amarr): 374 - 798 sentinel (gal): 1143 - 1717 commando (min): 774 - 1144
Knife alphas (Minja / Other):
charged x2: 1150 / 920 charged x1: 575 / 460 normal x2: 575 / 460 normal x1: 287.5 / 230
Even on a Minja, the chances of an OHK on an assault aren't guaranteed. As good as zero on proto sentinel.
