Greetings Pilots,

We are all working extremely hard to hit our release goals for HAWKEN, but we wanted to take a moment to give you some insight into the timeline for our upcoming content patches. We are continuing with our previously planned schedule of a large content release about every four weeks, but we're making a change to how we roll out updates that fall between those content releases.

To allow us to be a bit more agile and focused on critical issues, updates between content releases won't be scheduled in advance but will instead be released as needed to fine-tune the game experience. Have no fear, though. Not every change will require an update to the game client, and we will post all changes for players to see whenever a change is made, even when no patch is necessary. As always, we plan to be as transparent as possible with our intentions and the changes we make to the game.

We didn't want you, our loyal fans, to get the impression that we had stopped communicating and improving HAWKEN based on your feedback just because a couple weeks had passed without patch notes appearing. Keep providing that feedback! We are indeed listening, and will continue working to both address the issues your feedback points out and to add the new features that will make HAWKEN an even better experience for everyone. We're genuinely excited about what's coming on the horizon.

Thanks for your continued support!

I do like how this implies there's now an actual timeline for the transition of open beta to production.

I heartily look forward to many more good things to come!

Next time, please do not remain silent, that srewers with new map are only in the region of U.S. Such understatement leave a bad taste.

In reply to that in red, i would like to ask what are your intentions and goals for Asia South players and Asia South servers/games? More specifically, why are there no Asia South servers? Not even 1 the last time I checked. Because as I see it, the part in green has NOT been met.

Kindly clarify so as to fulfil what you said in green. TQ

I love transparency. If I could find an invisible woman, I would put a ring on it and spawn translucent heirs.

Keep it up. Looking forward to next month's new C Mech!

It was fun while it lasted.

I noticed that you guys were scanning the forums, so I wasn't under the impression that you guys weren't listening.

Unscheduled updates that don't require an update patch are a positive.
You can address issues of the patch that come up when you're working on them.  You need all the time to tear the glitch apart.

Keep up the good work guys!

MUST HAVE NEW C CLASSS NOAWWWWW!!!

On a more srs.jpg note thanks for the update and I can't wait to see what ya guys do next ^^.
May the unskilled become the most skilled. May the skilled remain the most skilled. Let the newest players have the most fun, and the most skilled have none. Let the skilled have fun, while the new have none. The unskilled maybe the most skilled if you let them be. The skilled may be the most killed if the world allows that. RAISINS!

Good to see word of release date to come, I've been here since the alpha, and it's come a long way since then.

However, some things do still need tending to, especially autobalance.

This waiting is killing me. I wish they would throw a Warg a bone........ or at least a hint for the content of the next patch.

I knew I should come to this section of the forums more often. I had wondered why there was no mid-March patch, but now I understand why. Thanks for the update and keep up the good work. :D Hoping for new thrusters/drone to put on my little Technician.
