Please be very patient on these first few days.

If previous beta client launches have been any indication, the first few days could be a bit rough as they iron out unexpected problems.

If you are having problems, and you feel you need to voice them, please use the support forums, check if someone has already created a thread about the same issue, and please don't spam the General/Suggestion forums with threads about technical problems and duplicate threads.

I know that this will only reach a few of you, but I figure I mind as well try.

Also, here are some ideas that have been discussed to death (use the search bar and see for yourself) and have no chance of being accepted:
  • Melee Weapons: The devs themselves have said they have no plans for melee
  • Dual Wielding Primaries/Secondaries: This would be gamebreaking, and I have the math to prove it.
  • Backwards Boosting: Makes retreating too easy, and trivializes thinking about your position.

If you need help with gameplay problems, please visit this excellent guide.

And heck, I'll just plug some of my gameplay videos on the premise that it might help you to see how an experienced pilot plays. (But really it's just to grab views :3 )

Is there a more comprehensive beginners guide that details what to expect? Linking something like that in your thread will probably help curb the incoming annoyance you are trying to prevent.

hOBO, you put the best music in for a hawken tutorial. I like your walk out then boost back cover strategy, I have been boosting out and walking back this entire time but your method makes a lot more sense!
