I would like to promote the growth of hawken as an Esport.
Got in contact with an organizer of http://www.polybash.org/pb12/.
If i can find 30 players by march 2nd he said he can arrange something.

There might be an cost for joining the LAN ~10$ and possibly a cash prize pool for the winners.( won't guarantee anything.)

Furthermore judging by hugs reply in the competitive talks, they wish to promote community tournaments, possibly even some MTR goodies.

Spread the word, lets do it.

Click me! I dare you.

I would go if:
A. I had $$
B. I trusted enough that I would actually be able to get in the same game as others at the LAN via a server browser, or even just the ability to join on a friend consistently.

Hi H0B0,

thanks for the information - this just confirms my theory on favoritism. Not towards you but to the US/Canada Region. ;)

Dont understand me wrong - We Love Hawken - Are one of the largest Clans in the EU Region and more are joining the fun...

Why Favoritism:

We requested multiple times to get a Private Server or Create our own Dedicted ones for different projects.

If this is possible and ill cross my fingers youll have success. This just confirms that EU Region Players arent that welcome to assist in any way... It might sound harsh but given the VAT Problem is still not resolved! The Vanguards got lucky but the newcomers dont feel so lucky and stick to HC and grinding - there is potential missing - And Funds that ADH could recieve to have more recources. ;)

Wish you guyz the best!

Eli. aka -BV-HotDog

Now that that has been made clear maybe we can have a discussion about favoritism.

By VAT you mean the taxes on MC right? I am not familiar with this but i am open to understanding what it is and how it is a sign of favoritism.
In quebec we have strict lottery laws and are often not eligible to the majority of contest. As an ex LoL player i was always enraged at the fact that i could not participate to the community events because i reside in the province of quebec. When MTR gets round to having such contest all the quebecois  won't be eligible. But i know it has nothing to do with MTR and all to do with my province's laws and regulations.

As for private servers as far as i know there has been once instance where these were given to the community. It was during zeshi's tournament. A tournament that was in the process of being organized for months and was advertised publicly on the forums for an extended period of time. A few hours before the tournament started TJ went out of his way to provide support for private servers and the tourney.

I am sure if the EU community wishes to organize a tournament similar to zeshi's the devs would be happy to support it. But i can't speak for them.

Last exemple i can think of concerning favoritism is the cockpit giveaway goodies. The cockpit was involved in the community for an extended period of time before getting attention from the devs, i am not aware of any such events happening in the EU community. Once again i can't speak for MTR but i believe if such a podcast was to take place and was organized by the EU community the devs might show interest in it.

My point is; i don't think it is fair to claim favoritism by having such a small sample of events to base yourself on.
If you want to test your theory of favoritism a good way would be to organize a tournament/podcast and advertise it publicly on the forums wait and see the involvement of the devs.

Please note: i am not speaking for MTR nor am i trying to be offensive to people from europe. I like you guys, and i see myself( being a french canadian in an ocean of "americans"/canadians ) as being in a similar situation.

Edit: if you do put forward such an event i would gladly help as much as i can and/or spectate.

Are a significant number of people on here pretending to be Americans? (Referring to the quotation marks around the word) Or were you referring to Canadians acting/pretending to be American? No offense taken and none intended in my question, just curious what you meant.

I hope you guys get this event to work out, and best of luck to our Hawken friends across the pond in getting events set up there too!

Course, I'll be honest. I haven't heard any word of setting up a LAN Hawken tourney near where I'm at. Come on, does nobody in Arizona (aside from SS396) play Hawken? :(

Well, there's always the Americans pretending to be Europeans...

<_<;

In regards to more local lan events (wherever local is for you), Hawken is still young, and the community is still small. More events community-wide and in local settings will happen eventually, given the time to develop. You don't see very many games having a bunch of major community events before full release has happened.

Sorry for comming back to this but:
If Meteor/ADH dosnt provide anything (e.g. private Servers for the tournament), how do I have to interpret 'LAN' here?
Is it just sitting around together in a large hall and playing on public Servers?

Just curious...

Its basically a secret late-all-night rave. A 'LAN Party', as the Canadians say.

I'm only 5 hours from Montreal, I would make the trip assuredly, but you picked a bad weekend.  I'm hosting friends from out of town that I haven't seen in 4 years.  :(

Anyways how are you going to run competitive games w/o LAN support.  Are you assured the place has the connections and the bandwidth for 12 people to be online playing hawken?

What if there are sync issues or the sorts of connection problems we have been having lately?

It would definitely be a big pain trying to run a tournament with Hawken's current setup. However, I think h0B0 has the right idea, the timing is just a little too tight.

I have too many things going on right now taking up too much of my resources for me to field this, but I would totally make the 8 hour drive to attend this sort of event at a later date.

Yeah the timing is a bit short and i honestly don't think we can pull it off in time.
I'm not even sure i can get off work.

Its a LAN party in the sense that there will be hundreds of computers in the same building possibly room connected..... to the internet.

They are holding a LoL tournament for 24 teams
As well as a super smash bors tournament
and a shootmania tournament of they have enough people signed up for it.

When i noticed no1 had signed up for the shootmania i proposed to replace it with hawken. The organizer said if i could guaratee 30 people on location he would work something out.

I can't honestly forsee anything competitive due to many factors. the limited time, geographic setting, game population etc....

I still intend to either bring my cpu for the afternoon and show off hawken or at least roam as a spectator and try to promote hawken if possible. whlist getting the proper contacts for next year and meeting my old League teammates.

And i refered to  people who live in the united states of america with quotation marks because i feel it can lead to confusion. America is a continent not a country. I really have no better way of calling them, because calling them unitedstateans could lead to confusion considering there is the united states of mexico.
How would the europeans feel if the french started calling themselves europeans. I know french pride would prevent them from doing such a thing but i also know many of the other countries in europe would not neccesarily apreciate.
I think i dont make sense anymore.

Click me! I dare you.
