well here goes the great idea of HAB..
"we are gonna have super limited number of players to betatest our betatests, that is frickin brilliantttt!!!"
...
"fudge it! we need more testing, give it to everybody qucikly!"
i am much disapointed in the company policy...

^{rather have a stable and bug free game to play instead of fighting bugs and server crashes take your time and do it correct. I have nothing to do this weekend.  wink wink nudge nudge  know what I mean}

[diablodevil2]

Kind of a bummer, but at least I'll have more time to get my SS to 25.

A short question:

Will this be the regular Hawken client or the HAB client that everyone will do the stress testing on_
Judging by 'download the client' I'd guess it's the HAB one, but a little confirmation on this might be appreciated.

I'm looking forward to the 'practice' weekend to test lots for configurations and load outs.

I'm also in the opinion that the HAB has done a poor job. (Or even didn't work at all) The only thing that happened is a delay of the patch for many many days. I don't see any changes or influences from/of the HAB.

However it seems like the devs are also unable to release a patch after months and there are not so much changes included that the patch needs more than three months. And the best thing: "Oh, after a month of testing phase including the HAB tests there are 5 more days needed to fix bugs".

I just can say: "Aaaand you failed."

Rome is not the golden game but it has far more quality. Alao 45€ are not so much for a new game. Rome also has crashes but has a far better quality. Alao hawken dkes not have a COMPLETE overhaul. Only internals items and progression system are overhauled plus some new chasis parts. There are no new weapons mechs or gamemodes. OFFLINE matches are an uneccessary feature because the KI is stupid (AI in english). Hawken is still the shooter it was before. The incoming patch is just an experiement wich needs too much time.

You are everything that is wrong with these forums.  You're blaming the wrong people and you just don't get it.  I'm not even going to get into why this line of thinking is total bull because it'd be wasting my time.

We've recently discovered some brand new issues that are preventing the patch from meeting our quality standards. In light of this, we have decided to adjust our target release date of HAWKEN: Ascension to Tuesday, September 10. This will allow us to fix these problems and perform more stress testing. In order to do this, we need your assistance!

In order to ensure the success of this test, we will be granting all pilots temporary access to the current HAWKEN: Ascension build. Y
Also, as a show of our appreciation, we will be providing everyone who participates in this special test with a code for a 7-Day XP Boost. This code will be able to be redeemed any time you'd like.

We apologize for the delay, but we appreciate your assistance in making this release as smooth as possible!

The entire infrastructure has been redone.  I could compose a list of all of the game's classes, weapons, and maps in a single udk document.  

But game's engine, UI, AI, and server coding_  Not even fuzzy bunny close.  

While adding a new mech, weapon, or gamemode takes time, it's nothing in comparison to completely redoing the game's engine, optimizing the code/netcode, or reworking the game's UI / AI.  

You clearly lack any and all understanding regarding gameplay programming and the processes behind making a game.  Judging by your character and the lack of intellect with regards to how you express your concerns, I'd also wager that you're a moron.

I am so glad that the majority finally spoke up to the vocal minority. Like a couple of weeks ago FakeName wondered why the Hawken community was going against him. There has once again been overwhelming positives in this thread (from most posters), and it is great to try and continue to cheer the Hawken Devs on.

Imagine you were a Hawken Dev right now. The poor buggers have probably been working 60+ hours per week the last month to get this game out on time, to only at the last minute have it fail a couple of tests. Now they have to continue fixing (and most likely work all weekend) to get it out by the 10th. I feel sorry for them right now, especially all the hard and great work these guys have completed.

So lets do our part this weekend. Knowing us we will cause it to be delayed again, but that is cool. The fact that today they took the Blizzard stance "it is done when it is ready" instead of the "release the buggy version anyway" is again another testiment to the team.

Hi Guys!

Not being chosen previously for the HAB, I see this a a major chance for myself and the entire community to show our support for the Devs.

Finally i can do something to actively help the Team and the community. Why do i mention that in particular_
Oh, just because this is the finest community i've come acrossin online games and i really like what the development-team does here.
Stresstests need a far larger roster of pilots to deliver some reliable numbers. That's we are here for after all, no_

The nice incentive XP-boost will be used for the Vanguard and maybe the darn Technician that gathers rust in my garage.

OK, Team - here i am,  where is the email_

In my opinion it is a bad thing failing to meet a deadline and it's even worse to keep missing them.
