Am i the only one who feel like it? I mean, in early playing days Hawken was something magical and exciting - something that had it's own romance inside.. Whenever i'd come to play i've always felt relaxed and peaceful.

But things has changed  - Hawken now is more of an exhausting machine that keeps you in constant pressure and makes you forgot this game actually has a soul. And i'm not really sure what are the reasons of this..

Yeah, that's how the game has felt to me since open beta. When I play the game it feels devoid of character, immersion and at many times, fun. Then again I'm pretty burnt out on the game overall so my opinion isn't totally valid.

I still get a lot thrill out of my HAWKEN experience but yes, it feels like the game needs a new spark to keep things interesting.  This spark does not necessarily need to be ignited through game content but anything that continues to grow the world of HAWKEN.  For example, during the graphic novel release, I loved how much lore was being added to the game.  I was looking at fights and maps differently after learning their importance in the HAWKEN universe.  So perhaps a tidbit here or there can be released during development that simply focuses on breathing life into our virtual battlefield -- sort of like a "Did You Know" factoid kind of thing that the Twitter account could tweet on occasion.

Maybe Something new could be introduced I know a couple of never seen before weapons would be a lot of fun but I don't really want something to be introduced because the fun will just wear off again.

I've been playing WoT a lot lately after feeling a little "burned out" on Hawken, and it's fun playing one or two games in WoT and then a few games in Hawken, then repeating. The key in enjoying a game is to not "enjoy" it so constantly that you get sick of it.

we need better players (not more skilled) but better, enough of the overly competitive people who take advantage of every weak point in the game mechanics

You're just getting your itch finally scratched, if you get what I mean. It's normal, new exciting experiences if repeated become old, familliar ones which just can't be exciting anymore. You've just played enough of this game to satisfy your hunger for it. No update, no patch, nothing can get that feeling back, however if things change for the better the now common, old experience might become better, just not as good as before.

Get your hard on.

Finding new ways to spark the romance may be difficult. Maybe we need marriage council

because bow ties are cool

I still really enjoy this game and the way it is constantly changing. I love multiplayer games but when I start to get bored with a game(which always happens with me) I just go play a good single player joint. I just replayed the first borderlands. I might redownload fallout 2 or something next.

I actually took a break after the powershot/raider patches.
I am enjoying the game so much more after the latest TTK boost.

Pacing yourself is a wonderful thing.
Take a week or two break.

While I do not feel this way about Hawken, I had the exact same problem with Planetside 2. I was a MASSIVE PS1 player, had played for years, ran a 300-man clan, etc, and was super jacked just to play PS2, let alone critique it. I booted up PS2 and those first few days were absolutely magical, I was exploring this epic world, I had amazing firefights where I could just feel the bullets flying around, and I was amazed at every new location I came upon. After a week, I stopped playing.

A mixture of a company that wasn't doing things right, along with a disrespect for the players ideas, and especially that the game was not even good enough to be considered a prequel, let alone a sequel led me to stop! But more importantly, above everything else, the game DID NOT have an amazing community, and not nearly as many friendly and cooperative clans. Really, I cease to play games by myself very quickly. I haven't had that happen to me in Hawken yet, but maybe thats cause despite me playing by myself a lot, I also have a great of guys I do play with. So maybe to bring that romance back you should find some people you really enjoying playing with, as suddenly you really enjoy playing the game. Its why I'm still playing! :D

Games do get stale, so i just look forward to the explosions, not the game. Thats my other secret... ^^

Not trying to make anyone join TAW by the way, there are many great clans here to look at, as well as peole just to play with. :)

I feel like this every time I max out a mech. Once I max out a mech, I start playing exclusively for the enjoyment of battles and blowing sheet up. Though when I start playing like that, my play time drops dramatically. The little bugs and annoyances start getting to me. I start seeing how bare bones Hawken is and how it needs so much more. In the Korean F2P games I've played, outside of battle, you could go to "plazas" & chat, show off your avi, or play mini games to earn in-game currency and prizes, or set-up sparring matches, spectate, etc. Hawken has none of that. It doesn't have anything outside of blowing sheet up and as fun as that is, it gets old fast without a progression system.

I agree. Something seems "Off" to me. Something that the previous iteration of Hawken (Closed Beta) had that this one is missing. Or maybe I am just burnt out.
