Hey guys,

Just a friendly reminder to new players to pay attention to their mech customization when they start. If not you will get rolled for a bit before you realize you will be able to make modifications to your mech. This includes mech parts, skill points, etc...

Thank you for the advice. Is the mech customisation similar to MWO? How effective is the non customised mech versus a personalised one?

Closed beta hasn't started yet, don't know what the balance is in beta.

In short, secondary equipment is mostly not equipped by default and must be added separately. For testing purposes, everyone's been provided with a certain amount of points to buy gear.

Hmm, I can launch the client and can see my assault mech, but not really sure if I should purchase anything yet although there seem to be some currency allocated to us already. Thanks for the info, will mess around with the mech customisation. =D

Thank you for the advice. Although I must admit, I'm down to 1000 points already. O.O I feel like I spent a little too much...hehe.

It's minor changes like 0,5-5 % of damge or such. (Some major changes too like lot moar health) But it makes enough difference.

Yeah well, if you're a smart cookie then you'll actually look through everything before you start a game. *cough* :P

But thanks. ;P

Mech customization is more straight-forward in Hawken. That said, using an untuned mech in Hawken is roughly the same as using a stock/Trial Mech in MWO, read: it's garbage.

It was fun while it lasted.
