i noticed as i was hacking away at a hellbug minor arkfall that even after the critical spot went away i could still slice it for 2500 damage (melee/blur setup) making it only take 2 min. a group of 4 samurais could own a crystal in no time lol

Well not for long I would imagine.
thanks for letting everyone know. ugh
id rather it be fixed then never be able to make it to one again, but thats just me lol
it was implemented by trion, why wouldnt they know about it?you couldnt do that damage before with a normal mele attack, once you make a big deal about it everyone will.
im not even making a big deal, it was 1 post and it wasnt even full of venom. im pretty sure they didnt purposely do that though because you can only keep getting crit damage if you hit where the weakspot was
It's honesty or envy? :)
your supose to milk it for a while at least.
It's merely information. Besides, it's not as if the developers are deaf, blind and dumb.
When they **** us, they're fully aware of how deep they're going.
the quicker the bugs are gone the better it will be, plus them swords are bound to get nerfed once the pvp community gets hacked and sliced by blur and all its melee bonuses lol
I think the only sensible course of action now is to nerf shotguns again.
the swords blow without some fun to be had with them.
lol i dont think the magazines can take another low blow, but the heavy scattergun got a micro buffQuote:

Except they wont because its useless. Guns with melee bonuses and stocks far outdmg it and u dont stand still while using them. Theyre a novelty in pvpQuote:

Its the same as with the infectors. If you hit a crit spot with them and keep swinging then you'll continue to do the critical damage since the game seems to register the initial hit on the crit spot as one long attack that never ends. If you stop for a sec, get hit, or change targets then you damage will revert back to normal.
You know that's going to become synonymous with Defiance now. Kind of how like Hats is the answer to everything for TF2. xDQuote:

honestly given the cost of the blades in both rep /script the fact you must buy the dlc to use charge blades they should wipe your arse for you whilst is at it honestly they do not do enough dmg in my humble opinion and should do double what they do ..
I want to me you and your gun that way I can show you how little you even land one of those fantastic hits on me. The only thing you'll be doing is a two hop back stroke if I have blur on three without. Guns meleeing blades lol. They gave us everything to us to make sure you COULDN'T beat a blade with a gun by melee only. I've proved it to quite a few already that spoke like you. Guess you need someone to correct you also.Quote:

Well really if done right they can pretty much go toe to toe with anything but boss types of any kind. HOWEVER and this is the balancing part; because they have no real range Blur is for PvE and Cloak is just about a MUST for PvP. There is a nice set of checks and balances swords are the new shotguns really except you get to look REALLY stupid be popped up in the air to death. I think we both do but since I would likely win it's ok =)Quote:

Personally, I hope they change this. Although some folks would like to blow through an Arkfall as fast as possible to collect their keys, other folks would rather have mobs to kill. Not all players know about phase jumping, and don't see a steady steam of Arkfalls. You know the designers wouldn't intend the damage to be dealt this way anymore than they intended blast damage to take out the shielded scrapper cores.
Kudos to the OP for posting a fix request instead of blatantly abusing screwed up game mechanics for his own gain.
LOL I'm still waiting for them to get buffed. I have seen no discernible difference but that's just me.Quote:

Then you are facing crap players. A gun with melee bonuses and a melee stock with blur far outdamages and outmanouvers charge blades. You are stuck in one tiny forward motion while swinging that blade. A gun meleer however can smack you and run past, back off run forward into you for the 2nd melee hit you wont survive while you are swinging away with crappy camera all over tne place. Not to mention guns have melee nano's on them that proc a lot.Quote:

I know firsthand from Legato twatting me with his melee gun how much more damage they do then blades.
because tier 4 lockboxes is where defiance makes their money at with the overmarked prices compared to legendary. Do you not read other forums retaining to how tier 4 lockboxes became worse with the arival of chargeblades inside them to pull a legendary? ehh. but it would take a random to make such a comment like this without investigating the end result of a tier 4. -facepalm-Quote:

enough said; have a nice day.

ignorant kids need to be taught to defiance... -facepalm-
i wasnt aware that trion made money on script but apparently they do. they drop blue and up so it doesnt have to be the one legendary blade. oh, sorry, 2 legendary blades. i investigated my friends loadout and he had the orange from tier 4 along with 3 blue ones but without a screenshot i guess nothing i say would matter, seeing as though its impossible to doctor photos on the internet.......Quote:
