Am I just that bad...

or is the hitreg with melee weapons off? I cant count the number of times I swear a swipe with my melee should have connected, only to be rewarded with a wiff as it slices through thin air.

Don’t melee in dirty bomb. Your right . It does feel like something’s off with the hit reg. Sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 times just to knife a downed player.

It is off after the Phantom nerf where they completely destroyed any kind of melee play in this game.

(AnonOmis1000) #4

yet it seems everyone else can hit me just fine, especially those players who run and jump around with Aura or Proxy :confused:

There are times when you shoot or melee somebody and don’t deal any damage… or receive any damage.
It’s rather bizarre to see that you got shot but didn’t take any damage.

we all miss the old melee :pensive:

depends on the knife, stilnotto is really annoying because of its short knife range. and to finish a guy always crouch on his body and look at it to make sure the knife hits. too many people just stare right in front of them while standing in front of a body trying to finish a guy with the knife.

i personally feel like the beckhill is the only knife in the game that works correctly. (by that i mean the hitboxs are correct, you can judge the distance correctly and consistently, and it gives a fluid movement.) as a side note, the bug with vassilli’s melee is still there i believe, so i wouldn’t recommend using him for melee.

(FerfyDerf) #11

What’s the bug?

(Herr_Hanz) #12

ive had 0 melee problems with vassili, using the cricket bat. only the stilnetto is annoying as fuq.

There’s a bub where his swing animation won’t actually play (at least on client side. Not sure about server side). Whether or not you actually swing I’m unsure. Sometimes I hear the whiff of it hitting thin air or hit a surface, other times I don’t. But this makes it VERY, hard to win those last ditch melee fights because you can’t judge when you’ll be ready to swipe again.

There’s no animation but you swing. At least it works for gibbing. I only started playing Vassili a few weeks ago and it immediately caught my attention.
