Uhh....no mention of Oculus Rift support_ Please tell me it made it into this patch and somebody just slacked on the patch notes. The videos that came out a couple weeks ago demoing it in the Rift and explaining that it'll be out by the end of the month got me a little too excited. I'd be extremely disappointed if I have to wait after all that false hype.

False hype_ A little extreme don't you think_

Yes, Rift support is available in the patch. We consider our Rift support to be at an Alpha state.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude. But, yes, I'd call that false hype if it wasn't actually going to be in this update. I've been more excited about playing Hawken in the Rift than anything else I can see in the foreseeable future, and I don't think I'm alone. This is fabulous news and September 5th can't come soon enough. Thank you!!

This is awesome and thank you so much team HWK!

I'm a little confused about the party system though. Can my clan now arrange a match with an apposing team of our choice or does the apposing team always have to be made up of other random players/parties choosing quick match_

Thanks

Thank you team Hawken for putting such an effort into this, i like how it's specific and detailed. Bright future waiting for this game.

This part in particular:

We've made some major improvements to optimization in our efforts to make HAWKEN a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Frame rates, latency, and overall game stability have all been improved. If you were having trouble playing HAWKEN before, we encourage you to try again! You should have a much smoother experience now.

I guess all the tweaks that i've made to the .ini files for better fps will be gone _

As you could see in videos already, 10 in any primary category, 7 (IIRC) in any secondary tuning category.
Enjoy doing your math.

And ... I think C classes cannot do that ... I think ...

Yup. Fixed now!

Weapon balance notes_  No changes from current values_  Did the automatic bugs from HAB1 get handled_  Why are suspensions still only available to certain mechs/still in the game_  Why is the shield values from mk1-3 the same and the insane duration_

Clarification would be nice.  Thanks for the notes, but some points need to be clarified and or completely addressed.

[Silk_Sk]

[torc]

What about weapons_ are them been re-balanced or it will be the same we used until now_

If you wish to advance your mech to the next Mech Rank, it requires either HC or MC to do so.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You now have to pay to level up your mech. Please tell me you guys decided to charge for secondary weapons as well as prestige weapons also. Gotta grind 'em all!

I would be upset about the overflow xp costing MC to change into global xp, seeing as how it was only ever advertised that players could do it, not that it would ever be a real-money-pay-only function, but if the rates aren't exuberant, I really can't complain with the sheer added amount of free customization added, including free visuals, which is pretty rare in F2P.  Bravo.
Not sure I like the berserker being all aerial, but the new system is flexible enough to allow for a lot of additional gameplay with that, and even to allow more flexibility with the use of the tuning, I think I could -definitely- get used to my favorite mech having a slightly different specialty.  Not too crazy about having to pay even in-game HC for leveling one's mech rank, as that may make things even more grindy, but once again, if the rate isn't exuberant, can't complain.  Besides, you guys have to make money somehow, and the optional MC payment does help there.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm also quite pleased that it's coming out on the 5th!  Really happy to hear there is finally a party system-- another friend of mine has decided it's worth playing again with that in mind.

[reganomics]

im kinda worried about how my reaper is going to play after this; but, other than that im really happy

I'd love to see the rage of people if this happened.

This all looks amazing but there are two things I want to point out.

Quote

• Replenisher
  
  • Advanced(MK-III)
    
  • Getting a kill reduces all item and ability cooldowns by 6 seconds.
    
  • Getting an assist reduces all item and ability cooldowns by 3 seconds.

Quote

• Basic Reconstructor
  
  • Basic(MK-I)
    
  • Mech regenerates 7 armor per second out of combat.
• Advanced Reconstructor
  
  • Advanced(MK-III)
    
  • Mech regenerates 25 armor per second out of combat.

These internals sound like major hax. The reconstructor means quick mechs are basically immortal. And the replenisher_ I hope to God there's a limit to the time reduction because I'm having horrible visions of players on long kill-streaks shooting off detonators like they're TOWs while cloaked more or less permanently.

Comes out my first day back to school. Of course...



But jokes aside, this sounds fantastic. When will we get some screenshots of the new skins, thrusters, and repair drone_

[Beetlejuicer]

This is gonna add a whole new realm of experience to an already awesome game!!  But I wanted to let you know that in the notes under ITEMS-SHIELDS the damage absorption is 300 across all 3 versions.  That's the only error I came across.  Anyway thanks for an great game Adhesive!!

Do people just choose to ignore the fact that the reconstructor's require you to be out of combat_

To be fair, it only states ooc and not for how long. It's 10 seconds, iirc.
