There you go Hughes, now you know how much to charge for a mini-nuke

On Topic:

HC generation (or lack thereof) is really just a matter of perspective. Some players want to level up all of the mechs avaliable, in which case; HC generation might seem a bit on the tight side. Whilst others will find one or two mechs that they really enjoy playing and stick with them exclusively and thus; HCs start to pile up with only a few options to spend them on.

Add to that the fact that player performance affects HC generation, and players perspectives start to vary wildly.

I personally don't have an issue generating HCs at the moment, but i can understand people feeling they're being short-changed.

i don't care how much i earn... i care only about how much fun i have in the game...

[psicobob]

i think it's a little too hard to earn them with how they have it now. personally i see it more like, for every ten minutes played a person should earn roughly 10-20 hawken. that way even a player that isnt so good can get some things to help them get better. such as my self and the noob d-vulcan on my tube mech. <3
granted that one is nearly given seeing as you don't have to pay for the rank ups. though still now i'm at the point where i want to earn some hc for mechs and i can't. i know they get unlocked over time, but what if i'm simply not good enough with that mech's predecessor_ then i'm screwed cause i blew away the amount they gave to me in the beginning.

I think the pace you get credits for getting the parts on mech rank up's is pretty good.  I would not mind a 20% increase in credit income

[Joebeans]

I think it is too slow earning HC. Im still playing coz I found loads of HC code on the web... BTW  does anyone have any need promo code_

[Void2258]

It takes me forever to get anything using HC. I always seem to be short on it. Most of my mechs don't even have internals, as I am focused on leveling up so I can get the next mech in the progression (I prefer to have a greater variety of mechs, but that means I'm running all of them on base primary and no internals). I suspect that once I have all the mechs and have leveled them, it will get to the point where I don't care (like with my IP in League, where I already have all the champs and runes I could want, so it just sits there), but for now it is a super scare resource.

You mean scarce or scary_

[MegaLazerPunch]

It takes too long! I'm a workin man, I don't have time for that!

So far when I get around to leveling up, I don't have enough HC to buy the level or the extras that come with it. Maybe its because I used a bunch early on to test out different mechs though. I would have a lot more money if I was able to test the mechs for free and be sure of the one I wanted to invest my time in. But I guess that wouldn't be good for monetization.

I got about 50k HC right now after playing a lot. It ads up after a while. The key is getting as many kills and assists as possible. Getting revenge, savior, multi-kills, capturing points, etc also increases the amount of HC you get. The more you do the more you get.

nope, there are only 3 factors  on which  hc amount is calculated

[Hijinks_The_Turtle]

It wouldn't hurt to have bonus HCs...   I need 'em.

[_Flyght]

It takes a little long for me to outfit multiple mechs with internals, especially at the rate I unlock new options for internals. If you're playing at least one of every mech class, you won't have enough dosh to cover it all and save for another mech. You have to choose between performance or a new mech a ways down the line. You're pretty much forced to play one mech on all maps and wait until you get the green light to play another one.

I personally prefer to play one mech for a while and max it out before moving to the next mech.  It allows me to learn each mech more completely, and I like to play that way.  I can understand, though, how that might be frustrating for some players.

I think if the HC earned was boosted just slightly it would encourage more new players to stick with the game in the long run. Wouldn't need to be a big boost. I was unable to take advantage of many promo codes, so ppl who have used 10+ promo codes don't really have a fair opinion in the matter. If more of the promotions would be advertised in-game so the active players during that window of opportunity could take advantage of the promo codes, that would be really nice.

Maybe I look "wealthy" or sumpin' (I spend my money on Mech bling--It helps pay the bills here) I got called a Pay To Win fuzzybunny this afternoon. My gameplay must be improving....
I about got what I want. 'Course, I've been here long enough, too. I slept through most of the free/fast codes for this account, so O Well!
I want a rocket launcher and a MK3 Repair thingy for my Scout, then I'm done. My bucket's full. Anybody wanna buy a spare SS or Berz_

Yeap

[LegendaryBucky]

I also find it quite hard to earn more HC because every game I play I might earn 100-250 HC, and that's on a relatively good game in which I get 200-300 points on the scoreboard on top of our team winning the match!
Is there any known way to get more HC, such as game modes or general tips on increasing HC earnings_
Last time I checked, there were no HC codes available, but if there are any, id like to know!
Off-topic, but is there any way to sell mechs bought by accident_
Thanks.
