I'm against this whole "increase health" thing. The combat has been slowed down enough as it is with the Technician around.

Those changes are being evaluated and may be introduced in a future patch.

Amazing... the new map's aesthetics do look good. The patch though may stir up some pilots. I guess we'll just have to wait.

UPDATE 2: Thanks for your patience, pilots! We've resolved the bug and will be releasing the Facility Update on May 9 at 2:00 PM PDT. Please note, the team has removed two balance changes (Shield and Detonator) for further internal evaluation.
I'm interested to see you removing the change on the shield for now, but the detonator_ I think it will still be overly effective even with that nerf, but please, at least tone it down a little :, everybody uses it to be/stay competitive :(.

^ lol ^  I find this is the best way to use it, but rarely see it done. You can make your Mech Wingman Bro's Rambo for a few seconds, pretty funny.

Unfortunately it's not fun to be in the receiving end. Will this type of shield abuse keep the new Hawken players_ It won't be fun for them when they reach 1700+ MMR and playing in advance servers where this can happen.

I am eager to see the Front Line fixes in place. Had a gent last night who spent the better part of two games abusing the crud out of the map exploits.

I'm happy to do that, Scapes, though I didn't grab any screenshots. I'll send in a support ticket all the same if I can recall the name.

Added:
  • The 30% decreased absorption rate on the Repair Charge applies to all repair orbs in the game.
  • Pressing the "C" key in the post-match results screen will show your repair animation.

Superb. Using the animation everyone can see your mech repairing during the post match summary (1st 2nd and 3rd "most x" )_
I guess we need to wait 2 hours now then download the new patch

It's a logically fallacious tactic used to try and discredit any opposing opinion that may follow, by claiming dissenting opinions are just flaming and that those opinions are worth less than their own. Whether people use this tactic habitually as a defense mechanism, or intentionally because they secretly understand the weakness of their claims and the backing logic, I don't know.

I don't know if it has something to do with this new update, but it's well past 2:00pm and when I get on, I go to play, but not a single living soul on any server :(

EDIT: Nvm, I had a brainfart with timezones :P (headache all day). Well, can't wait til it's done :)

Servers seem to be up. I saw a person waiting for a match and quit to rebuild my settings.

This happens every patch. Last time it took nearly a day before the servers were accessible and stable. Just check back every hour or so.

Thank you for responding. I read some people are joining games but I can't get past that error.
