That's the basic response in this forum due to the current state of the game. They are right when they say we are losing players left and right. They are right that there's nothing new and we are stating to get bored. Now this is where the post changes and i hope future post will be reconsidered.
The Devs have improved the game significantly withing the past month alone. Maybe the biggest one i can think of. The moved us to dedicated servers ( the X servers). They found that cloud servers were a bad choice for game servers. What this means is lower ping for most people. Allot less "tearing and rubber banding". They are a bit slow with this transfer as they have allot of database issues. They already hired professional database team. So give them a few months.
For the player base. They will all come back when a new patch/content is released. The devs hit it on the head when there priority is "fix current issues". This will help them in the long run and stop them from having more issues when they add more things to the game.
For the 2100+MMR players that are having a hard time getting into games. I get it. I have the same problem but one thing you might not have is a clan. I would highly recommend getting with a clan if you are a highly skilled player. Bunch of the clans scrim vs each other and get allot of perks in game. (check out the clan hall)
With this all being said. Chill hawken community everything will be alright.

That didn't happen last month. The devs introduced the experimental servers in April.

But there are obviously lots of great stuff the devs have been doing, but the problem is that a big part of the gaming community really has no clue about technical stuff, they do not understand anything about programming, development or anything from that category. For them, if the devs are working, then they must be creating content for their whinny impatient little asses.
I definitely believe that the ultimate priority stays the work on connectivity and what's related to it. Loads of content in an unstable environment isn't any good. Piling up content is what a lot of people ask for (to also keep supporting the devs financially) all the time, but they dont' realize that having them working on non-content stuff actually makes them deserve more support.

The difference the x-servers, I think, is where those servers are located and what else is running on them.

Because it's so difficult to do right, ergo genius.
Showing that you can repeat an idiot does not make you clever..

Thank you for your insight. I'm sure this helps the community.

It was discovered that for some people playing from another region may have higher ping in some occurrences. It can vary greatly from player to player if playing from a separate region. Someone playing from EU on the USE X servers might have higher ping or slightly lower ping. For the most part any USE players playing on USE X servers have much better ping and stability now.
I completely agree that Hawken continues to improve and has come a long way since I started playing.
If you are having troubles finding games as high MMR. Make sure you show up to TAW War Wednesdays, sign up for the next TPG league, maybe join a clan, and add other high MMR players to your friends list.
If you are not high MMR and are average or even slightly lower. Start banding together, joining, and creating clans. The player base being as small as it is now. This is a great opportunity to connect with other players that are passionate about the game. You wouldn't be playing Hawken right now if you weren't passionate amirite?
Instead of being down in the dumps about the current player base (numbers/attitude) use it as an opportunity to strengthen the community and rally around those who have decided to stay and play regularly. Especially those that are in and around your skill range.
Ask questions about how to improve rather than just rage quitting games with high skill players in them. Skilled players, be supportive of less experienced players and for goodness sake....be a good sport and have some class. Maybe if you are stomping a game you should play an off mech or try out some wacky strat. Hit f12 even if it means you are gonna most likely lose. You aren't the only one trying to have fun.

As TAW strike me as the polite and painfully proper people to have a policy against responding to this sort of thing appropriately, allow me to return with a fittingly condescending and dismissive response
