Hunter knife throw (Destiny)
Why does this not count as a Melee attack?
Do you think it should? Why/ why not?
Would make that "kill (number) guardians with Melee attack" bounty a lot easier to complete.
Also, does Titan shoulder charge count as a Melee attack?

The really weird part is it only doesn't count in Crucible. Works for all non-Crucible bounties just fine.

Weird. Yeah, I was just about to reply that it does work, at least for the PvE bounties. I don't understand why that wouldn't be uniform - might be that it isn't intentional?

Also, I started a hunter a couple of weeks ago, and I REALLY hate the Gunslinger's throwing knife, coming from a Warlock.
To clarify, I LOVE it when it works. I have a few great clips of me taking down whole swarms of smaller enemies with it (with the instant reset perk), and I definitely was yelling gleefully when those happened. But the combination of the throwing knife and the standard melee is very unreliable. I like to come around a corner fast and melee immediately to hit an enemy who's hiding there, and often in that situation where my warlock definitely would have connected, the hunter throws a knife instead because either I wasn't lined up JUST right, or I did it too fast or something. So now, not only did I not hit the enemy (who is now attacking me), but I've just lost the cooldown on the throwing knife as well. Argh.
Would it have been better to have the throwing knife be one of the grenade options? That mix-up scenario wouldn't happen if they were on different buttons. Maybe replace the swarm grenade? I like swarm's mechanism in theory, but the enemies have to be SO CLOSE for it to track that I feel like I'm more likely to hit them using the standard grenade.

The throwing knife is literally one of my favorite things in Destiny - I finished Bladedancer and switched right back to Gunslinger because I could not operate without it. I use Incendiary Blade for Crucible as I'm usually facing opponents one or two at a time; knife juggler for campaign to keep hitting charging parties. It's become second nature at this point and its one if the reasons I constantly procrastinate working on another character. :)

Nothing more satisfying then ending some ones spree with a swift fiery knife to the face whilst you are out of range for their gun
Incendiary blades also help to kill bladedancers if you didn't know, as the fire lingers.
I love seeing a bladedancer running at me, whilst I'm unloading my hard light into them only to finish them with a burning knife to the skull before they can hit me

I'll have to remember that. Usually my tactic is to run away screaming.

I mean... a knife isn't a fist.
I PUNCH the initiative!
