Greetings pilots!

On 5/9/14 at 6 p.m. PDT, we'll be doing something a bit different for our weekly stream. Instead of playing normal matches, will be hosting a Fight Club tournament. 12 of HAWKEN's best players will battle each other in 1v1 duels to determine who will be crowned the ultimate mech pilot! The format of the tournament is as follows:


  • 1v1
  • Best of 3
  • Single Elimination
  • Map: Origin

Tune into our official Twitch TV channel tonight to watch the tournament! [HWK]Vanashinkaku, [HWK]ZamboniChaos and Fight Club organizer Saturnine will be on hand to provide match commentary. You can check out the official tournament bracket on Challonge.com by clicking here.

 

See you tonight pilots!

Will the champion have to fight 1v1 against Vana's boss brawler? #devhax

Watch people play video games instead of playing them myself?


Ummmmmm ...... no.


How about a Meteor Credit redemption code, we are long overdue for seeing one of those issued to the community.

Didn't EU already have a fight club?  Either way, how do you expect them to manage that?  We're working on Central or West.  Could do East, I suppose, but you guys would still have 110-160ms.  That's just not feasible.

lol, I'm not even in top 120, little on top 12 ... but I would've loved to see some EU players in the same competition ... a lot of us play in USE already ... I donno ... but, I see a lot of very good players from EU play in USE servers.

But this one has S9 and devs ... the EU fightclub had a very small number of people watching compared to the number that will be watching this tourney tonight.

Ping dude, 120+ isn't a feasible ping to play in a highly competitive setting, let alone anything higher like 160ms.  Its not about how good EU players are, but rather where people are located.

A good amount of the "high-tier" players are located in EU, but they don`need to arrange it themselves.

If you haven`t noticed (can`t blame you), we got many clans here in EU with leaders that would be highly willing to host one of these competitions, but since the dev team only got connections in EU with TAW we don`t get much to happen here. Sure we got a good amount of fighty clubs, but why not a EXTREME Fight Club where the devs actually support the game? This will encourage people to join in community events as they may get free stuff right from the devs themselves.
I`ll fix it later.

I'll sum it up for you, it would be great if the devs host something like this for EU only, just like what they will be doing with the west.

How about a Meteor Credit redemption code, we are long overdue for seeing one of those issued to the community.

When did that ever happen? I've never seen free MC codes getting issued other than the ones they give with purchasing certain Nvidia cards or a certain Toshiba laptop. I can't find any topics by searching either.

Why would they just give out a bunch of MC for no reason?

To drive people to the game.
To create a marketing buzz.
To increase the active player base.
To mute the whiners who claim pay to win.
To make all the dedicated brown nosers even happier.
To get players addicted to using MC which results in enhanced revenue for the company.

To give you free MC so you don't have to pay.

I'll sum it up for you, it would be great if the devs host something like this for EU only, just like what they will be doing with the west.

Send them a message.  Get things organized.  Take the initiative yourself to make something happen.  How do you think the OMNI vs. Developers game happened?  Leonhardt approached the developers.  How do you think TPG private servers were lent out to players?  I approached the developers.  Just ask directly, but be nice about it.  These posts don't come off that way.  Also, keep in mind that it's much easier for them to organize with U.S. players for multiple reasons:

1. Time zone.  If they were to contact you around 5pm PDT, it would be past midnight your time.  A lot gets done in the
Afternoons at ADH.  
2. Geographical location.  Europe is almost halfway around the world.  The ping compromise is few and far between, and even if there was a perfect mid-point between the U.S. and Europe. I.E. not in the ocean, pings would still be 100ms+
That's atrocious for any fast-paced game.  

For the reasons stated above, I can understand why the devs separate events based on region.  Not liking something != reason to complain about it publicly.  Geographical boundaries too stronk, and there's not much that the devs can do about it.
