How is it pay2win_ Most of the people I see kicking ass are using the starter mech.

I've done a lot of beta testing and I've got to say that what the devs are doing here is unprecedented. I've never seen a team so responsive to the issues, quick to get things fixed and get the info on what's happening out to the users.

Seriously_ I mean, I'm very pleased with your support so far. But isn't announcing a hotfix (including 30min downtime) 24h early a bit over the edge_ A longer downtime ok, some ppl need to make preparations. But 30mins are barely worth mentioning. And on top the initial post reads like the problem is already solved on your end. So why let people run around with bugged mechs for another day_ You brought the servers down at least once a day during the past days, so i don'T realy get why there is such a delay this time_ I guess it has somehting to do with playtesting the fix or something like that. But to be honest, my friends and I have postponed our activities until this fix comes out. Which now includes, "No hawken this saturday! Yay! -.-". Prices on mech upgrades/modifications are already quite hefty (which was already mentioned in a few other threads in the feedback section) But the one thing you unlock for free (unless that is part of the weapon switch bug) is bugged atm, it's kind of a show stopper.
And before the fanboys or "I-have-made-games-myself-and-know-it-all"-faction comes out to get me... I realy like this game! And i'm impressed by the speed of the recent updates and community contact by the devs. And i'm aware of the fact that developing and running a game is a big thing and takes time and patience.
Just saying that the way the announcement was writen, along with the long delay for the update (long compared to other recent fixes, but still fast compared to other companies) made me feel like: "Oh come on, this is your day off or is there an error with the announced time_"
That's why i can totaly understand the person before me, who asked if the given time was correct or if am/pm got mixed up. Saying the problem is solved but we have to wait another 24h to get the fix sounded a bit weird. I'm shure there are good reasons for this, maybe even simple ones. Just the way the post was writen bugged me a bit, the general idea of early notifications is great.
But enough of that. I guess i made my point.

Keep up the good work! ^^

Здорово. А за мной корефан заехал и мы славно на джиперов попялились за городом, я вот как раз только вернулся, а тут вон и сервер не работал сразу как я отъехал, значит. Ну что ж, играйте теперь, я вернулся уже. :)))

The reason its a Delay. Is because they want to put the Servers and the Game in tip top shape. Avoiding crashes, bugs or glitches. Etc. They don't want their success to start into a total failure and shame. They know what they are doing, and they are very flexible and fast onto their release. Please. Understand their worry for their newly released Game, HAWKEN. They don't want it to suffer, and its members to lose anything on this.

Besides. Its in Open Beta. You should consider there's things here that why its in OB. Is because its easier to solve issues and problems along the ways as they publish it Officially towards its release. Easier to smack a few flies as it prepares for its Official Record.

That said. I literally have nothing against whatever they keep doing to make the Game better. I'll just wait and expect greatness. After all. This Game did indeed got a huge score. And so early too. Please. Trust them, and support them.

I'll await and hear news to comment on in the future. Thank you for letting me speak. All great respects and honors to you all.

Sorry if this is confusing, it's actually the stats from 'player career' that is weird, not 'mech career'.

I have the same, so I guess its not unusual.

Well, it's not a hotfix (a patch that streams into the game with no downtime) and we're eager to communicate that a bug affecting all of our players is being addressed rather than, y'know, not communicate it. Just four hours to go. :)

Is there any workaround for this until the patch_ I'd really like to use my other weapon...

Unfortunately no, but the fix is nearly here.

Forgot to mention a patch note, Cyberpunk will receive a -66% damage debuff for kicking my ass too much in that match yesterday. *serious face*

Is the primary weapon bug the only thing this patch will address_ Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate it. But the HEAT cannon's firing animation is still bugged to the point of distraction. 3 hours from now this problem will only partially be solved for me because I'd finally be able to switch back to the AR, but it's still an issue. And while you're at it, maybe un-nerf its damage_ It really didn't need that done to it.
