"We all want players, devs & publishers included; of course..."

So.. On the Official Site's Frontpage:

-

1.- BIG ENLIST button is required (again).

- 1.2.- Crystal clear and ultra-visible & Accessible registration ( + captcha to avoid spammers ).

2.- Crystal clear BIG BUTTON -> Buy Meteor Credits + Cost per amounts of MCs.

- 2.1.- Ultra visible link to read info on how to purchase game money from Steam as well.

This is highly recommended due that, as it is now, it's like pretty confusing for new players to get current, involved as well as fully active in the game right now.

Hope this helps.

My apologies for probably being so straight... but I find this of maximum importance; to say the least and so to speak. Now.. Cloack Engaged..

They could probably add an intermediary splash page that the "Play now" button on the homepage could take you to.  On that page there could be a simple "Register here" section, and a "Download Hawken" section that links players to the STEAM Hawken page.

Basically...(within the limitations of the forums):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enlist Now! (http://www.playhawken.com/enlist/)
- stuff added in here for more info, faq, padding ,whatever

Already registered?!  Download a Copy of Hawken! (http://store.steampo...com/app/271290/)
- stuff added in here for more info, faq, padding ,whatever
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*pretty gfx* *pretty gfx**pretty gfx**pretty gfx**pretty gfx**pretty gfx**pretty gfx**pretty gfx*

Right now, the only place that I'm aware of ATM on the main page open for registration is the top level game guide section of all places.. (http://www.playhawken.com/game-guide) - at the bottom of the page.

I know what you mean, you are kinda thrown into the mix a bit when you first boot up.

What it really needs is some kind of basic tutorial video cleverly included in a pew-pew-giant-explosions intro clip. Afterall it's hard for ADHD kids topped up on energy drinks to concentrate on things like the written word.

The main website for Hawken needs to be rebooted, big time, new players might walk in and see stuff that helps them, but it doesn't match up with the game as it is, such as the lack of the G-2's and Incin, along with the lack of the Bunker map... Damn it, I just got done reading a thread about whining.

Restart, yes the website needs to be reformatted. End of Line.

Don't you still have the virtual tutorial to play through when you start Hawken for the first time?  Sure, it's not "really" gonna prepare you for the insane discrepancy between the AI mechs in that and the real player base... but it's there.

Honestly though, I don't think that we're down on players because of a lack of big flashy ways to download and register for the game.  I think it's just that it's no longer new, despite whether one thinks it's in Beta or not - Hawken has been around a long time for anyone and everyone who wants to play this kind of game.

In the very moment that new users have no clue on how to proceed, register, purchase and get current to play the game then we'll all agree on that "we" have an issue here.

I'll insist on that the frontpage is crucial on this. Big buttons here and there and dedicated pages about registering and purchasing MCs & Boosts are a must..
