Greetings pilots!

As some of you may know the first phase of the HAWKEN Advance Battalion began on July 19 and has since been concluded.

Phase 2 of the HAB began on August 2, and is currently in progress. A completely new list of pilots were sent invitations, so if you haven't checked your email in a while...now would be a good time to do so!  After Phase 2 has ended, we will immediately begin Phase 3, which will be the final phase of the HAB before our major content release.

Each and every day we grow closer to releasing our largest content update yet, but now we truly are in the home stretch. If development continues smoothly, we should have this latest update in your hands by the end of August.

In preparation for this update, a vast amount of information will be shared with the community in the coming weeks. Patch notes, guides, feature articles on new content, and videos are all being worked on as we speak.

Thank you for the patience and dedication you've shown these past few months. We're extremely excited to finally begin sharing our work with you all.

We're almost there!

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

*says a dirty word*

Can you hold off until the second week of September?  You see, there is this PAX thing I'm going to be at the end of August, so I'm not going to be able to play for about a week or so if you do roll it out at that time...  :P

h0B0, you will never be irrelevant. <3

(EDIT:  I also can juggle.  Three items is it right now and no tricks, but it's something)

Too late now, we have jimmied the lock and wedged the door open with parts of downed mechs...

Oh yes, spiders.  We also put spiders around it that you can hear as they walk across the floor.

Saying content is coming without saying the content...

The Hawken team really needs to work on their communication with the player base. Back in the closed beta I thought the communication was great, but over the last few months the developers have become very distant. Not sure how you plan on exciting the player base without sharing any information. My hope for this game is on its last legs.

Thats like saying LOTV (Starcraft 2 protoss expansion) is coming in the future. We know content is coming, but it doesn't give us any information. If you are happy with the cryptic messages great, but I haven't played since May 14th.

They plan on releasing information in the coming weeks to hype everyone for the release. Just because they've been incredibly busy busting their ass for us and haven't give us ANY or ALL of the information yet is just nit-picking.

People need patience.
