Poll: Pilot actions within the Mech. (247 member(s) have cast votes)

Do you want to be able to see your pilot (you) performing actions within the mech_ for example, when using an item you see your pilots hand activating a switch in the top corner, or when starting repair.

  1. YES! that would be awesome, would add to the realism of the game. (98 votes [39.68%])

    Percentage of vote: 39.68%

  2. There really is no negative side to this. And it would look pretty cool. (68 votes [27.53%])

    Percentage of vote: 27.53%

  3. Nah, I like my pilot being a ghost. (70 votes [28.34%])

    Percentage of vote: 28.34%

  4. Who likes cool things anyway_ No thanks. (11 votes [4.45%])

    Percentage of vote: 4.45%

During the mech's power up sequence at the beginning of a match, would you like to see the pilot physically activating sub systems, weapons, targeting, HUD etc_

  1. Subtle, yet immersive, I like. (130 votes [54.62%])

    Percentage of vote: 54.62%

  2. Doesn't affect gameplay, I wouldn't mind seeing that. (46 votes [19.33%])

    Percentage of vote: 19.33%

  3. Only if it is implemented as an option. (29 votes [12.18%])

I like the idea, as long as it doesn't create any blind spots in the HUD, it's cool.

Personally, I don't like the idea, nor how biased your poll was.  Might mention that we all imagine our pilots DIFFERENTLY after all, so for me, it would actually get rid of a bit of immersion.  Plus, Hawken has a lot more other important things to work on at the moment to get the game up to the state of full release.

like the first one, especially if it makes it take a half a second or so longer to use the item. even to toggle between items and seeing the guy do that manually would be cool. if it took about half to a full second. puts more thought into items, and how to use them versus just spamming them when you get them i think.

the second one would be great, especially if you weren't able to move for the first bit of it while your mech "got powered on, and stood up." then the rest of the hud turning on would be while i get to roam about the staging area.

I don't think the idea could be implemented very well in Hawken. If you want, give MechWarrior Online a try, it has pilot animations in the beginning and is more simulator-y.

[obligatory disclaimer that I prefer Hawken because I'm really bad at MWO]

Sorry, if Im repeating someone, Im too lazy to look through all of this. It would be an nice idea, but it would mess alot of people up. I do like the idea of seeing your pilot start the mech up at the beginning of a round, though, MWO style.

I guess for emotes it would be fun to "rage" in a cockpit. When the match results and you see the mechs lined up you could see through the cockpit as if it were windows ( or open would actually be cool) and see the guys rage on his seat still buckeld up. Or /clap or /whatever or go on the front end of the mech and dance or taunt hehe :) the kind of emotes you see in Blacklight Retribution :P


The "humour/fun" aspect of gaming is missing...

Don't forget to check your oil, believe me you don't want your launcher to jam !!

PLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZ.... I think you get it. It would probably be the most glorious thing ever in the history of ever, and I would give all of the devs the best hugs ever if it happened.

N-N-N-Necro'd!  From what I've heard it will probably never happen since any representation of a human in the map or in the cockpit would raise the age rating of Hawken from T(een) to M(ature).
