Yes, another knife thread...

[Pie]

I've sort of got a query, best described in a story.
So you've  got two players, One called Bob and one called jerry.

Now bob is using the knife to kill people and jerry is running in to steal bob's flag. So bob holds down the throw button to knife jerry, but because jerry is off screen when the knife is charged the knife throws anyway and bob gets a face full of m79.

The point is, What about if the knife held it's full charge entirely, So while you had F pressed down, The knife stayed charged.
Or another one would be that instead of the knife throwing itself after being fully charged, if the knife wasn't thrown, it would reload itself and you could charge it again.

Thoughts?

No, the knife is really balanced as it is.

If you are already halfway through the charge and know you're going to miss, just flick your mouse down, so the knife lands nearby so you can pick it up and rethrow it, or you could just stab whilst charging to stop the knife from being thrown.

Hate to disagree, but this would be so much easier.

I know it would make it unbalanced a little, With camping and stuff, but perhaps this could be an alternative to the current set up?

[Ziem]

No. This is one of these things which make knife balanced.

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Screwing with the throw system is asking for trouble. B'sides, it'd amount for some "cheap" moments. Think about it; people reenacting their ninja fantasies.

[Lord Frunkamunch]

No. It'd take away the entire point of adding the chargup to the knife. If you could walk around with a fully charged knife, it'd be horribly unbalanced.

Maybe of you held it for too long it'd just stop the throwing process so you could switch back and keep your knife?

[ViN]

It's POSSIBLE to stop the knife throw, which most knifers know(i am not one and I know that).
If you don't want to throw the knife press Q then relase F and gostek should stop throwing the knife.
