unusable HUD

Wait, wut_

Disregarding all the 'HUD X is better than HUD Y' talk, in what way is the current HUD 'unusable'_
I inquire an elaboration.

[Wasabi_Wei]

I'll take a stab. One thing that has always bothered me is how thick and obtrusive the ( + ) side bars are. The new HUD does not pull my attention away from the distance as much.

cant wait for this( air dodge & bots trainning for my kids)...
"ascension patch notes are realised on september 2"...cool!...but the patch itself _ i must be blind but i cant find the release date...+.+
secretly hoping that we can  desactivate the"turn back / 180°" ...it s quite frustrating to show your back to the battle...+ a backward boost/dodge would be the cherry on the cake
thx for this true FPS...the only game able to replace UT TDMs to my eyes

HAWKEN: Ascension is the largest content update for HAWKEN so far. Improvements to progression, gameplay, performance and more are what await you in this highly anticipated patch.

More details will be revealed when the HAWKEN: Ascension patch notes are released on September 2.

Is there any chance those performance updates would involve visual optimization_  I love this game and how beautiful it is, but while I can run most other Unreal based games on High easily, I have to disable all advanced rendering options and reduce Hawken to Medium to keep a stable framerate.

I'd love to be able to bring my settings up higher and play this game the way it was meant to be experienced.

Well, in the Hawken Data Stream thread in this forum, there is a mention of visual improvements to the current maps in the live version, coming with the patch. Devs said that we can expect smoother gameplay, so basically you should be able to get some improvement, though there is only so much these optimizations can get you if you are running an obsolete rig.

Nepacaka, what do you mean by spam items_

I mean the setup of 3 items on the mech.
In my opinion, the items should only help a little defeat the enemy
(or sometimes in a specific situation.) With this use of the patch become more important.
and general uselessness of many items when there is a situation that 90% of players are using the same combination of the most powerful items. it's sad.

I'm sorry for my bad english
Sometimes Google translator can not translate what I'm saying. necessary to write yourself (and sometimes i incorrectly choose my words)

I totally understand you.
Before OB you could use 3 different items, and the new slot system will prevent for equipping more from the advanced versions. So if you want to use the best shield, you will only have space for one more MKII item or two MKI. If you check the videos of the new gameplay you will see that you can not spam them, because there is a cooldown that prevents Alpha strike with two offensive items.

[nepacaka]

it's hard to perceive spoken English, if a person don't speaks slowly and with expression, I catch the general sense of the phrase, but I can lose sight of precise sense (complete sense).

I probably not completely understand announcer(narrator) in the video.

In any case, the work must not be carried out over the balance, and so on-that would make the game more playable. Optimize the engine, reduce ping, etc.
Because it lost all desire to play when the game lags and crashes to the desktop in the middle of the match. (when other new games are no problem, like crysis, call of duty...)
hawken main problem that doesn't balance, the main problem - uncomfortable gameplay

Maybe if the health bar curved along the screen and moved slightly to simulate that it was actually on the helmet people would accept it better.

Yeah, this.  I haven't played much Halo past the 2nd, but I really love how the interface slowly grew more immersive.  The curvature of the helmet display subtly increasing and becoming more "realistic" along with tweaks to color, font, and icons were awesome to me.

That's not proof, it's supposition. There's no proof that these mechs should be required to be gritty in every aspect. What's on the outside doesn't require the inside to match and people keep forgetting that the pilots are wearing helmets. Helmets can have HUDs more advanced looking than what's on the outside and until people actually play in their own mechs and see that there are still things in the HUD that look like the original (which are in the preview videos), they should hold their opinions about how "high end sci-fi" the HUD really is.

Except the all the previous variations of Hawken's HUD have held the same style. This new HUD is a clear step away from that Aesthetic. Not only does this new HUD step away from the previous Incarnations themes, it also lacks many of the components that made it feel like a mech cockpit.

The point I make is that you could not have thrown the old crosshair and HUD onto any other FPS. This new crosshair is much more generic and doesn't even have as much functionality as the old crosshair. Some people actually used the Accelerometer, Altimeter and Compass. The new crosshair is not one you'd use piloting any kind of vehicle.

Aesthetics are all about feel, and I can take one look at that new crosshair and guarantee you it doesn't feel as "I'm a Mech Pilot" as the old one.

I do feel like the actual cockpit could use a little griming up.  Maybe project the altimeter and other stuff on the visor, as suggested above_  I'm not sure which instruments should be cockpit based and which should be visor based - maybe both for redundancy_

Given the amount of maintenance that goes into jet/helicopter/plane maintenance, I'm not sure how "grimy" the cockpits should look.  Granted, it's war and what-not, and everything should have a worn or well-used look to fit the aesthetics.
