Greetings pilots!

We'll be taking HAWKEN services offline for maintenance today at 3:00 p.m. PST. The website and forums will remain online. We expect the required downtime to last approximately 1 hour.

We will also be making a few minor changes and additions to the game:


    [*]A daily win bonus of 250 HAWKEN Credits is being added to each game mode, which means that players can acquire a decent amount of HC a day by winning at least one match of each game type.
    [*]Added additional HAWKEN Credit rewards to some Service Awards.
    [*]Reduced duration of EMP from 4.25 seconds to 3 seconds.
    [/list]

     

    ***UPDATE***
     
    Maintenance has been completed and servers should be back online shortly.

Pour yourself a drink, I'll sing you a song.

  • Added additional HAWKEN Credit rewards to Service Awards.
So somebody finally figured out that attaching credits to service awards was a good idea.  It frontloads HC, ensuring a good supply of extra credits for new players that later runs out.  It's a good way to give someone enough to get them hooked without giving them everything too easily.

Also, the idea of daily rewards per mode is clever.  It should push people to try new modes instead of packing into TDM all the time.

Regarding service awards, are those retroactive? For those of us who have already gotten the awards will we get the hc for it?

How long until they drop the logging in screen now that it's on Steam?  Seems pointlessly redundant to log in twice.

I hate downtime, but I love the changes.

I laughed, I cried; it became a part of me.

I think were already seeing the benefit of the change over to Steam with these very swift balance changes. Keep them coming guys, Great job!

I also play on "PoundSignYoloSwag" (Assault/G2 Assault) and "FriendshipIsMagic" (Rocketeer) But haven't been able to add them to my Sig yet due to computer problems.
