If you think you are good at Hawken then go watch Xacius' live stream on twitch tv. Not only is he an amazing player but he has actually memorized numbers name. If you are veteran chances are numbers owned you in the past. Also devs if you want to see how powerful your scout and raider are he can show you.
Sharpshooter lvl 25, Berserker lvl 25, Scout lvl 25, Bruiser lvl 25, CRT lvl 25, Brawler lvl 25, Infiltrator lvl 25, Reaper lvl 25, Rocketeer lvl 25, Raider lvl 25, Technician lvl 25, Grenadier lvl 25, Assault lvl 25

Good luck and have fun see you on the Battlefields!

I'm continuously baffled why Xacius is believed to be a God. He is good, but I have never thought of him as the best.

I play with Xacius and he is good. Though, what I have seen is that he is VERY aware of his surrounds, lands his hits, and knows when to pull out from a fight. Plus, he knows how to move and where to move. All them years of him playing movement based FPSs.

I think of Xacius as being very good, but I don't think he is the best of the best. There are 3 people on Hawken who are amazing that I know of:

Evolwar
Xacius
and one other that I cannot recall their name.

I'm guessing Mech Warrior or if there is a turned based FPS.

He is one of the best in NA (hard to compare between regions), he just doesn't seem as godly to you since you're an above-average player yourself.

Xacius
Evolwar
Exeon

If these guys aren't the best of the best, who is?

These guys strike either confidence or terror depending on whose team they are on.

I bet Xacius is looking at this with the most smug look on his face thinking, "Like I haven't heard this before." :P Lol I have been lucky enough to evade a fight with Xacius. But I've played with some others and watched his stream and HOOOOLLY
FUZZY BUNNY he is good. However, Immortal009 is also extremely good, as well as hestoned and nept. There are also quite a few amazing Scout players, but that (in my mind) doesn't count as being "good." That is just being an "exploiter" of how OP Scout is.

I've encountered Immortal009 on multiple occasions and I can say that I've only beaten him 1/10 times whenever we meet in a match.  Nept is awesome too, and don't forget Omnistone, who I have yet to actually kill.  However, I'd like one day to experience both hestoned and Xacius, even if it means getting stomped x100000.  It'd be worth the learning experience.

Thank you for the thread, but in my experience this type of advertising usually pushes players away.  I do appreciate it though! :D

Also, lol.


Regarding the stream last night - we had a lot of neat music and some intense DM games.  I think I played for 8 hours straight!  I've highlighted the tryhard sequence here!

Thanks to mexichanman for the turntable.fm reference.  For the unaware: Turntable.fm is a website where players (mainly viewers for my streams) take turns playing songs live.  I plan on using it more in the future.

lol /thread

Though, to be fair, I've never seen Nept playing without a team.  I don't have enough experience playing against him to come to any conclusion about how good he is.

As much as I'd like to say, "I agree. It would be fun to go up against him. Might learn a few things," I think it would just make me angry to be crushed repetitively. Going up against someone like omnistone or Xacius would probably crush my fragile Hawken ego. :P My frames are terribad (I average around 20, might as well play on a toaster), I probably wouldn't even see the guy dodging around me, lol.

All these named players are good.  There are probably some other players who think that their names should be included as well.

Sounds like an opportunity for a best of 7 series "Last Man (or Woman) Standing" DM Tournament. Would need something like a 20-24 man DM server to accommodate. Held twice a year for the title of "Whatever-Sounds-Good". Reminiscent of the last fight scene between Mel Gibson and Gary Busey in "Lethal Weapon"-- to determine the best of the best.

I'd sure like to be a spectator if that tournament was ever held. :)

For you, it's different with your frames (20? Ouch), but I do average about 60-70 fps on ultra via my build (sig) which isn't terrible. It's actually quite decent for what I have I think. Hawken ego? I'm rated ~1800 (via MMR bot) but I think it's too high because I've been really slacking on trying lately, plus I don't think I'm that skilled for 1800.  But on a good day, I never think I do great, just "okay," if you get what I mean. :P I'm just hard on myself welp.

Either way, I would love to go up against Xacius and learn a thing or two one day. Never hurts to learn a bit from a master!
