Friday 01/04/2013 - A HUGHES Hello
#1
Posted January 04 2013 - 01:53 AM
Well the holiday season has dropped off and I wanted to make a quick post here to say hello and talk about what's going on. We've been really busy at Adhesive working on small fixes, large fixes, new content, new features and improvements. We're still a small team yet haven't let the foot off the gas much since our open beta launch a few weeks ago. I haven't been posting as much as I originally intended and that's on me... my bad. Days go by pretty fast and we don't have people just sitting around wondering what to do right now that's for sure, so welcome to a HUGHES hello!
The support and interest from the community means the world to all of us and unfortunately it's TOO easy to get caught up with development and those precious moments to talk about the game with players pass by so quickly. So I wanted to start off this hello with a bit of a question and answer... I know there are some hot topics of concern out there and some of the higher priority fixes are on Adhesive and some of them are on Meteor. Matchmaking is of special interest right now and I can talk a bit about that if you'd like, but I'd like to give people the opportunity to ask me questions about anything. I'm pretty open and will share what I can... No I'm not able to pull back the curtain completely about everything but I'll get to what's possible.
Ultimately, you're all unable to see the big white boards I've scribbled all over... don't know what the priorities in the pipeline for a particular team... have no idea what current design in the game might be only a stepping stone to something much bigger... what might be a bug and not something intended that we don't have the ability to fix immediately... I want to share some of those things with all of you.
Before going too insane with details though and before Meteor starts sweating too much over what I might say, let's start off with you asking me questions about what's on your mind! I'll keep going with this thread and responding to as many good questions as I can get to before I start focusing on the next hello. I know there are going to be many great questions and I'll get to as many as I can but I won't be able to get to all of them...
Happy Friday and I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Secondly, could you make it so counter measures are manually activated? I'd like to judge when to use it, especially since sometimes I EMP myself and waste credits

That's all for me :3

I agree, it looks like a lot of mechs are coming out, buying the same part over and over doesn't feel too good. That and it's a garage right? It feels more like a private room for each mech padlocked with 'NO SHARING' signs.

I'd also like to know what your current position is on Hellfire Missiles, and more specifically, the Rocketeer
Oh and if those previously mentioned optimization and weapon level changes are still being worked on, can we expect to see any iteration of them in the near future?

Have you ADH guys seen Beemann's proposal (http://community.pla...de/#entry145996) for a competitive mode?
If you have, thoughts?

What's the best alcoholic beverage to drink while playing Hawken?
Which 'mech is your favourite based purely on aesthetics?
Which 'mech is your favourite based purely on gameplay functionality?
Are there any new 'mechs planned for the near future?
How's that Hawken webseries coming along?
Why don't the silly future people in Hawken set up their bases in hardened underground bunkers instead of these giant precarious towers that are oh so vulnerable to missiles and battleships? (I know it's for gameplay purposes but humour me ;P)
OH! OH! And what is the Sharpshooter's level 25 weapon?

They've said they are going to bring back the server browser when matchmaking is working as intended.
And basing matchmaking on mech mastery isn't the answer either because some people level up faster through boosts but are on a different skill level than those with more hours under their belt. LoL balanced games by people Win/Loss ratio to get people together with roughly the same ratio.

Seriously now:
-Where on the priority list does FIXING ultra-panoramic resolutions currently sit? During CBT, we had a Dev response that making Eyefinity and nVSurround work properly was on the list, but didn't specify where, other than 'toward the top'. It's currently (still) HOSED; basic functionality, but just takes the middle third of the screen on a 16:9 display and zooms it in, cutting off the top and bottom of the screen... meaning no ability to see your active item, armor level, radar, or other necessary information, as well as generating severe amounts of nausea thanks to the super zoomed-in view and extra-narrow FOV.
-Any plans to bring back the server browser any time soon? It was supposed to just be gone during one or two phases of CBT to enforce testing out matchmaking.

Devs, PLEASE ensure proper Eyefinity support!

also, will turret mode on brawler and as awhole, ever be reviewed - as it stands its rather useless - this thread here has both a poll that reflects this and concept drawings from a Russian guy called bar9 that look great.
i want keybinding that makes my mech play this tune with acouple twirling beacon lights.
