charge blades at AF crystals

[NomadPhx]

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 ..

tier 4 lockbox, or do you not see the patch notes? i thought you've been around long enough to read lol

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 =)

Ugh someone had to say something

[NomadPhx]

considering all the people showing their friends this and telling em about it i guarantee i was the last to know anyway and they havent even commented on here about a fix or that it was not intentional. do i give a flying f-u-c-k if your upset cause i made a post? take a guess and find out lol

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.

I think the only sensible course of action now is to nerf shotguns again.

LOL I'm still waiting for them to get buffed. I have seen no discernible difference but that's just me.

You should not blame the blade!

I just checked the standard melee attack - F button - the same effect! The standard attack is a little slower... However, the crystal is damaged equally!

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.

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.

Basic damage on charge blades is dog**** compared to the guns. The charge is nigh on useless. The jumping attack isnt bad but again, the delay after landing is terrible. We'll go 1 on 1 then if ure on xbox euro. Let me get myself a triple melee bonus gun with melee stock and a syphon nano, and you use your glowy toothpick, see who drops first. I know firsthand from Legato twatting me with his melee gun how much more damage they do then blades.

tier 4 lockbox, or do you not see the patch notes? i thought you've been around long enough to read lol

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-

By the way to further explain your illiterate investigation; do you only do hellbug arkfalls? that "weakpoint" was added within the crystal for raider/mutant "advanced weapons" to pinpoint certain spots (the fist advanced weapon to be exact) this was the area on the crystal that took the most damage from that fist.

enough said; have a nice day.

EDIT:

You should not blame the blade!

I just checked the standard melee attack - F button - the same effect! The standard attack is a little slower... However, the crystal is damaged equally!

My point exactly; this is the weakest point in the crystal for advanced weapon - fist to hit and do alot of damage to the crystal as the other sides of the crystal the damage done is 100-150 by a charge blade.

ignorant kids need to be taught to defiance... -facepalm-
