For the past few weeks I've noticed less and less players using Nova knives.
Just this week I haven't seen any one (except me) using one.
I guess most have caught on to (what I discovered after maxing its skills out) the fact that nova knives are incredibly difficult to be effective with and have migrated to more user friendly weapons (AR/Flaylock?).
This morning I tried to kill just one guy who was distracted and I couldn't take him down because he was moving around so much, so I only got in one hit (out of multiple swings) before someone else took him down. It was frustrating to hit moving targets with these things.
It's dissapointing to see this weapon going extinct.
Any one notice this tragedy? I want those wasted SPs back. (Q_Q' ) |

The only time I see nova knifers are on the forums, complaining about how scouts are underpowered and the flaylock is fine. |

Novas need better hit detection and really need a 3rd person cam but you are overreacting.
Got a good number of kills in a couple of games today, though I got disconnected (Not CCP's fault) in the last game and over the past weeks it has been doing its job. |

I notice just as many Laser Users. Now with increased strafe speed. holding a lock to do any damage has made the LR even more useless. |

I use Novas and SMGs as my main weapon. The knife charge/stab sounds got changed for 1.2 and it feels like the charge speed is quicker than in 1.1. |

I love the new sounds.
You also get a click noise as feedback for sprinting.
I find knifing, as a whole, is a lot better than 1.1. I am finding some hit detection issues, but CQC is smoother. IT is harder to escape crowds of people tho. |

I used them a few times lately, but the hit detection just keeps getting worse. Fully charged ishukones into a still heavy's back; no damage, but hit markers came up.
I might try them today, if it turns out the night maps are as dark as people say. |

Didn't get a chance to stab someone when I played earlier. The slower run times and improved aiming has convinced me to spend every single SP I get from the 3x bonus week on to finish my Biotics and skill into Catalizers for the Proto Kincats though.
When you tried did you find the charge times reduced? |

The charge time is pretty quick...but speed is the problem. I agree with what was said about speed drops in groups. We really will have to pick our knife targets wisely.

Making physical contact with anyone in this game is pretty much luck considering how easy it is to dodge any sort of melee attack. It doesn't surprise me that you managed to finish him off, considering you probably just fired bullets while casually walking backwards as he desperately tried to cover ground - the speed of backing up versus walking forward is ridiculously disproportioned. Then when you were out of bullets it was just luck who would hit who first, and he was already damaged. He would not have got you in one swipe considering it's suicide to charge your knives while attacking someone who knows you are there. Plus the knifing locks up if you hit it too many times, PLUS it glitches sometimes like it pretends to knife then cancels out of the animation for no reason, especially when you need it to work the most.
Really, you had everything going in your favor. That's what's pathetic, lol. |

So why don't you use the nova knife AND flaylock pistol??? If you cant beat them, join them right? |
