Hey Minja/Ganja knifers!
I ran into mr musturd the other day, and we danced around a bit. We shot at each other, strafed, poked out of cover...
And then he pulled out his knives. I actually thought I had mine and sadly whipped out an SMG. It was my LAV pilot build.. and I don't have knives on it So I half heartedly shot at him a few times until he saw he had to gun fight me. Then his squad showed up and I died in a glorious wall of plasma, lead, and explosions.
Some of the best fights, even though it's only been a couple of times, have been knife fights with other scouts.
A whole lot like this :D
As my clone woke up back on the minja barge- I came to a realization. Us knifer scouts should always honor another scouts knife challenge on the field. Do not fire upon him if you are without knife. Respectfully decline by moving, find a supply depot, and meet up proper.
Perhaps we can designate that a proper meet up to have the duel will always move to the furthest useable SE corner of any map? initiating a dual with another scout is pretty straight forward.. you just slice you knives repeatedly :D |

I always put my gun away if I know the other player has knives some actually honor the fight and we have an epic knife fight but most of the time they put the knives away and shoot forcing me to end their life with a pistol. Next time we will dual millers I always have knives |

Awesome! I've only had one knife fight, since I typically don't carry knives, and it was pretty epic indeed!
I think it may be tough though if the other scout with knives doesn't recognize that you want to knife fight (if you don't have a knife).... I mean how do you get him to realize that you need to go to a supply depot and stock some knives for the duel? Maybe he'll just knife you in the back as you run away, wondering why you didn't shoot at him....?

I think the more of us scouts that doit, the more people will catch on.
I just wonder if the new knife sounds are too quiet. 1.1 knives and earlier were hella loud, so you could hear another scout if he was slshing. I noticed my usual partner's knives were pretty darn quiet. even so, graphically speaking, IMHO, the devs did a great job with the knives. it is pretty obvious if someone is holding them.
I am sure in these early stages, the savage knifers won't know about the treaty, and they will kill you. But we can, over time, hopefully, institute an honor system that will carry into the game lore over the next decade? |

Yes With shotty's and knives. I think CCP has been made aware of it, but they haven't commented. |

I run a G scout and I currently only have standard knives as a secondary. There was an instance when I came across an M scout and he pulled out his blades. At the point I was thinking:
Chance of victory with knife = 0% Chance of victory with gun = 75% Honor lost with gun = 100%
So I switched to meh knives and took the death like a man. Hopefully karma will do me a solid and allow me decent knife fights in the future

I've noticed changing the textures and effects to low seem to help slightly with the knives I'm not sure about the shotty I'm not spec'd into them, I'm still having slight problems with them though. I use to average 20kills a game with only my knife now its about 12-16per game |

Knives are so much fun. If I run into another person who is using them on the opposing team I will try and honor using only knives provided they do as well(and no one interferes - hardest part imo). It has only happened to me once, I don't remember the scouts name, but my knives salute you good sir you are an honorable warrior.
For those that use a secondary gun weapon what is the general consensus as working the best with the Novas? I run with SMGs(speced to proto with them) but I been thinking about trying to run with a Militia Shotgun to test the playstyle a bit. I also got 50 free copies of a laser rifle so I may try that as well for the lolz. |

I've tried the laser rifle with an alt and it seems it's a weapon that I would have to get used to.
As for making a close quarters combat class I plan to do so after I get my hacker and sniper builds up some more... or the cloak equipment comes out :D
At first I thought it would make you completely invisible but a DEV blog proved otherwise. The way they are going to make it seems balanced to me though so I still can't wait. |

Man I am getting hammered with it! lol!!! I was a shotty scout but now I am running the knives (and the loss of my clones is mounting! Lol). But I get it a lot...and for a guy who is learning it can be down right frustrating when you do get the jump just for the blue shields to show up |

I just wanted to say I san into a Ganja scout with knives. All I had was a shotty and a flaylock, so instead, I practiced bobbing and weaving with out firing a shot. He was doing pretty good and we were in an enclosed space, so it was intense!
However, a team mate came upon us and slew him outright

Maybe all scouts on shotties scout registry should have a channel look before the match if scouts are there if so switch to channel or in match if you notice switch to Chanel an organize the safe zone , I say the hills are somewhat better to be not interrupted or roof tops, I think we should do merc battle q syncs 6 on 6 knife fight battle royals with uplinks, ah scratch that dummies with guns will ruin it |

I would always run SMG and Knives when Uprising first came out, and had many knife duels with awesome Scout players like Mr.mustard (sadly i never got him), there was a Sense of Honor to it, and trying to explain it to non-scouts is like talking to a brick wall.
Even if i had a 200 000 ISK and there was that fellow scout between me and a objective hack, i would still honor him in a dual, if i lost, i would find him on the field again and challenge him again. Same would go if i won they would find me on the field and challenge me again. No other suit holds such a code of honor
Sadly since our number have dropped off the board and alot of well known scouts have switched to either logi or assualt, i rarely find a scout in any matches let alone ones that have blades. So i run mostly Dual SMG's and when i actually see a Scout that uses blades i try my best to change my fit and challenge him.

My primary suite is SMG and Knives. Although I use them defensively I will always whip 'em out when I see a ninja. I have gotten in fights during huge bullet storms and raging vehicle warfare.... twas soooooo awesome dodging taxis AND AR fire while going at it. I only wish I could've recorded it.

Last night disgruntled an I had a south redline showdown an it was FKN AWESOME FUN! Untill he put down a link so he didn't have to walk the map to get back an some dummy on his team poached the link an got me twice wit a AR , then I messages the guy to tell him it was a planed knife fight.
Tbh it made me love my knives again, I haven't used them much since they wreaked endurance in 1.2, which is a shame cuz I friggen things, I just find it hard to play the slash an run style I used to, but escaping just seems much harder. But after the battle I took them into ambush with my sg an r/e an damn it gave me back sOme love for these things.
I used to get 15 /20 kills on average with them but then I just got frustrated with them, so disgruntled thanks for making me bring em out again bro I had a blast! |

To anyone interested in testing new ways of playing when the changes to scanning/spotting come out in 1.4, join the NOVA ZOMBIES chat. We are trying to gather as many scouts/stealth oriented people as possible to form squads. We welcome scouts of all varieties. We are looking to test stealth logis in a stealth squad at some point. Logis sporting Kin. Cats and dampeners, please join up! Equipment of particular interest will be active scanners, repair tools, drop uplinks, and possibly REs. If enough people join by the time 1.4 roles in, we might be able to form many diverse stealth oriented squads!
Vehicle users are also welcome, we never know how a LAV or dropship could prove useful. |
