Dust Project 514 Dust Evo 514 73	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:13:00 - [1] - Quote 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' )
Oso Peresoso RisingSuns 83	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:14:00 - [2] - Quote The only time I see nova knifers are on the forums, complaining about how scouts are underpowered and the flaylock is fine.

Unfortunately that would shatter EVE players fragile ego's, so we can't be having any of that. CCP makes the decision, you live with the consequences: YOUR CHOICES MATTER!!
Roofer Madness Unkn0wn Killers 19	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:18:00 - [4] - Quote We've got a Nova Knifer in our Corp and he wrecks people every match.
Azura Sakura Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 171	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:19:00 - [5] - Quote I love heavy nova knifers more <3
The Cobra Commander Bojo's School of the Trades 48	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:19:00 - [6] - Quote The knives are a real challenge to use...like I said in another post I think the scout ranks will get even smaller
Daxxis KANNAH Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 126	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:20:00 - [7] - Quote 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.
Rogatien Merc Ill Omens EoN. 252	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:21:00 - [8] - Quote Zombies cannot breed and current infection mechanics are broken

Cat Merc Oculus Felis 1546	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:28:00 - [10] - Quote I saw a nova knife squad. They saw my bullets. No one came out pretty out of this. Except for me, because I'm gallente.

Green Living 0uter.Heaven League of Infamy 476	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:37:00 - [11] - Quote 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.
BARDAS Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 26	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:38:00 - [12] - Quote 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.
mollerz Minja Scouts 550	Posted - 2013.07.02 20:51:00 - [13] - Quote 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.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1873	Posted - 2013.07.02 21:11:00 - [14] - Quote 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?

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.

How pathetic is that O_o 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.

Spademan The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 108	Posted - 2013.07.03 22:48:00 - [21] - Quote Havent noticed it being in decline, sniped 3 different ones earlier today.

Follow up on this: who said the night maps were dark? It's still incredibly easy to see everyone. I even went 12-2 with a forge gun on my first night map.
