NEW Thruster

• YAROST

devs, i love you. I galg to see you are returned to "old-style" names for thrusters (like DNEPR, KOSMOS etc.)
i really like it. Keep this way.
someone may seem that this is a trifle, but it is important!

Suggest for next thrusters name - SOKOL

Wow, you guys have been working haven't you_ Although most of the patch almost gives me nerdgasmes, I'm a little bit confused about the incinerator. Apparentely, he's now the only c-class without a turret mode, and that's strange to me. Also, is this it's default appearence or it's elite-section parts_ I mean, no other mech has such colors...

Moreover, wouldn't the heat charge become obsolete next to the emp_

Oh sorry, ibut the new health System is a mess. First time I saw online 300 AP on my Tech, I thought this must be a bug. But now... Hey, I played my role as a first line Tech to support our Assault Squads. But now, "I try to fix your Me.... no, I´m down." "I´m ust th...no, I´m down." and so on. The Tech is now banned into the backyards or rety useless.
And  want t customise my Mech by function. Not only by paintjob.

I´m sorry fo my poor english, but I hope you can understand it.

Sorry but, where is the third primary for the tech_

Imo, as it is described Bunker will be only a sniper-nightmare. I hope playing it will prove me wrong :S (since already bazar is now unplayable, so we don't really need another nightmare map.... and we also have last-hellfire-eco).

The sudden death feature seems really cool!

Overall i really hate the last patch, i hope the new features and a lot of practice will make me love this game again

Also devs reduced amount of damage dealt by HE-Charge and Detonator. I think it's reasonable (no more one-shots of A-class mechs).

LOL, have you played the game these last two days_ Now it's almost ONLY one-shots/two-shots...

[Mobstarr]

Awesome notes. Looking forward to play the new map and mech. Keep up the good work!

[Leitmotiv_167]

Yes, I also miss the third primary for the Tech.

There is not yet your new mech available in the game, when it will be_ Same question for the map. thx.

[XxP5YCHOxX]

u made it to where there is no reason to be a heavy...why punish a heavy____ U should keep tuning it rewards your efforts to make ur mech  match your play style. the other changes are fine...why reduce armor.. here again u punish a heavy...if u want to go light make it a challenge to kill a heavy...all u did is make a heavy class  usless ... u guys changed to much...had a great game before u felt the need  to remake the game for steam. u didn't have to change the whole game to go to steam...it would have been fine to leave it the way it was. hope the peeps who made this decision realized they screwed up a great game.

What happened to "Precision Overdrive", the Reaper's ability_

It is not on the "ability statistics" sheet.

This ability was one of the less satisfying one in the game, I wonder how devs handled it.

[ropefish]

an update is downloading for hawken now, i hope its the patch E.E

[Hijinks_The_Turtle]

I do like where the game is going.... But I've been seeing lots of posts talking about how Hawken's new TTK ruins the game.  Maybe we can find a middle ground for this argument so these people won't leave the game_  I know A classes have been seriously OP during the last few patches but I believe they have become too hard to play.  Maybe we can change it to where TTK is lengthened a little (emphasis on the little).

The fact that these players are arguing against the new TTK shows that they seriously love the game and they want it to be fun for everyone.  I think we all know it's not fun when you're defending the AA or MA and you get killed by some snipers as most maps are pretty open.  I know I'm not the best player here (only level 23), but we can't just abandon our casuals or our hardcore sim players (just a few of the groups here). High skill games are fun, but it'd be great if these people have a good fighting chance too.

I'm a player of Hawken who likes where Hawken is going, (personally I like the new TTK, cuz it's more hard) but we need to find a middle ground if we want to have a good playerbase. It won't be good for the potential newbie steam players to see more posts/threads on the Steam and Hawken forums that tell how much the game sucks right when they download the thing.

[ropefish]

okay so this is what i think of the new chassis:


also WOOOOOOOOOO NEW STUFFS AND BUG FIXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but why emoes have to be MC now ;w;

[Aregon]

I bloody love the Malk chassis, it is sooooooooobeast! And the Incinerator will be bloody amazing trying to learn!

If I only could get my rocketjumping mech now.... *CoughCoughHintHint*

[Gumby789]

The only thing which needs to be addressed are the C-Class mechs. With the new heavy focal point on movement (lowered dodge cooldown, no energy usage, and greater dodge range) and the reduced ttk it feels like the heavy mechs are like big sitting sides of a barn. Quite useless esp in turret mode as if getting ran circles around like crazy wasn't enough, in turret one TOW in the rear and you die. It just feels like the overall balance changes overlooked the adverse effect on C-Classes, other wise everything flows better now.

[RespawningJesus]

That new mech looks sick, and fun to play.  Cannot wait to see it in action.  As for the patch, I like it.

[fingerknitter]

So when is the complete steam update released_

Within the next couple of weeks but we haven't stated a specific date... primarily because there isn't one in stone yet. We'll have an update on the specific timeline available by Tuesday of this coming week!

[CounterlogicMan]

LOVE THE PATCH. Really enjoy the new TTK, really enjoy the emphasis on good decisions and spatial awareness.

Can't wait to see the incinerator on the battlefield. Also Bunker Y u no siege!_!_!

We have 4 maps in the siege rotation now: origin, frontline, last echo, wreckage

Up ya games. Hawken won't forgive your mistakes anymore.

[caduceus26]

Not everyone will agree with every change listed here but everyone should agree that this is one helluva an effort!

These patch notes should dispel any and all claims that Team [HWK] 1) isn't committed and working hard to improve the game and 2) not listening to its player base.  On the latter, I'm betting that they're still listening to the community on concerns raised with the new patch and will over time respond where appropriate if there are game breaking issues that need addressing. Constructive feedback is the best vehicle for engagement.

Thanks for all the work that you guys do to deliver on this game.  Keep it up!
