No knife on Arcstrider?

Is this for real? The bladedancer gets replaced with Arc strider and Bungie decides to remove the knife entirely from the subclass? The only melee I've seen from the Arc strider is a punch....why? Why abandon the lore like that? And a punch? Seriously? The Bladedancer was what brought me to Destiny in the first place. I was upset when I heard it was replaced but convinced myself to keep the faith in Luke Smith and his team. Then I read about the skill tree for the Arc strider and felt hopeful. But now that I've seen some gameplay and realized there's no knife at all in the subclass I'm just completely disheartened. It's a decision that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm ready to cancel my pre-order....im just not excited anymore.

  • Hey along with the changes made to hunter I think they should also make the titans have a knife and warlocks should do a head butt. Also why not make Ikora a titan, Zavala a hunter, and Cayde could be a warlock. Just change all the lore you know? it obviously doesn't matter to most people right? So yea just go a ahead and change everything we knew about the game because the lore obviously doesn't matter anymore...

    • Arc strider wants to learn Thunder Punch, but it can't learn more than 4 moves. Delete a move to make space? ..... Poof! Arc strider forgot Cut and learned Thunder Punch!

      • I like the new animation. A nice, quick, electrified snap backhand! Reminds me of Bruce Lee. If they get the animation right, you could watch an Arcrstrider straight kung-fu movie a whole spawn! Let all all my WATAAAAAHHH's fly!

          Yea Bungie at least give the pull dancer a little cheerleader baton or something ..... Just think of yourself as Robin from Batman when playing the pole dancer.

        • It's pole dancer now not blade dancer. No blades. On a side note, who give a flying fu<k anyway?

          • Hmm. Arcstrider is the melee class. Gunslinger is the ranged class. Yep, totally makes no sense.

            • Actually, found that just a moment ago. It was a glitch with the alpha where the knife is invisible, you're complaining about nothing, they're already gonna fix this.

              • Bungie realised that the knife melee has issues with shortstops 90% of the time. Thats why its a punch now. And a fast one at that😎

                • Ok I think that canceling your preorder over a melee animation is ridiculous and stupid, but I do wish it was a knife I really hoe they change it. It will annoy me till the day I die if they don't.

                  Its because Arcstrider is modeled after the standard monk class in rpg's and MMO's. The monk classes most iconic 'weapons' besides a staff is their fists and feet. That is why the Arc Maul's melee is a punch.

                  • Yup it is a punch. I played it today on the strike. The super definitely felt a lot stronger then bladedancer.

                    • I'm hoping it's just the charged melee that has an absent knife and the standard melee will be the regular hunter stab.

                        • You should cancel your preorder and buy a different game unless you want to be constantly disappointed (Inb4 destiny fanboys comment on me not playing D2 yet) Common people it's bungie I'm talking about here, if you are smart then you'd realize they are a joke

                          • That's actually interesting, it shows up as a punch in the kill feed too. A fist colliding with someone. Not sure if I'm happy about that tbh.

                            • It's a glitch, numbnuts. The knife is still there. A visual glitch in the alpha build causes it to disappear.

                                Throwing Knife is definitely on Gunslinger. I agree with you though. I won't do anything drastic like cancelling but the knife is a vital part of the whole class identity and will be a shame if it is completely gone from the Arc subclass. Incidentally, the new press kit photos has an amazing concept painting of the D2 Hunter and her new snake cloak and she is most definitely wearing a curved blade knife...
