Sebastianx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sadly your right,due to how the enemy currently is in the game,going into melee will do you more harm than good,but yes,a ninja run like in MGRR would be nice to start with for the gap-closing perspective...but even after that,how do you make melee actually be more useful than ranged weapons once you get into melee range? Unless they decide to go all out DMC style here,and throw in spins that have huge AoEs,jump attacks that create a tsunami of a shockwave and hell knows what...maybe then it would be viable.

Kamal965 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You're right, the risk/reward of melee just isn't worth it at the moment. What we need for melee is to boost its damage and/or status effects (constant [x] procs, anyone?), while - most importantly - giving us stagger and knockdown resistance. I dare anyone to go into melee range of an Elite Lancer and see what happens; you'll find the butt of his Hind smacking you in the face for an absurd amount of damage, while also staggering you.

AM-Bunny Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Enemies killed with melee have a higher chance of dropping rare resources/mods. Pow. Now farming groups will melee all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie9001 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 We need enemies that are immune to gunfire and powers. Or at least resist them. You won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyunsai Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Making players in melee mode with at least 75% resist to knockdown would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJunior Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just wanted to get ya'lls opinion on when you think Melee 2.0 will drop. Personally I'd like it reeaaal badly for this week, But a part of me thinks it'll still be next week given the sheer size of the update.(Melee and Hek. Quite a bunch thar.) But then again they have been working on this awhile now, So. Who knows. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm personally not expecting it until maybe 12.3-12.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Chaos.. Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Prime this week and melee 2.0 next week Edit: Changed my opinion: This week event to help the corpus gain some space in the solar system. Next week the new prime in 2 weeks Melee 2.0 Edited February 11, 2014 by ..Chaos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spliffy_McGee Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Next month. Maybe the one after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Talia. Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think we will see Melee 2.0 and Loki Prime in U12.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 They said "before the end of the month", so it could be any of the next 3 updates. I'm imagining, from what they described, it will be on the update on the 26th. There was still a lot of work left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halofury36 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 From the livestream, it sounded as if Hek will be a separate update past melee 2.0 Personally, I am not banking on melee 2.0 till at least next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalimir Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Both Prime (Rhino or Loki) and melee 2.0 are projected to be released by the end of the month along with the new Vay Hek Case closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulzscha Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 According to Geoff in Livestream 22, "end of the month". So that's probably going to be the 26th (as Wednesdays are content update days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadhua Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Make melee more interesting than spamming or holding e? a stagger button (like handle butting the enemy with your sword) or something maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
