Didn't EU already have a fight club_  Either way, how do you expect them to manage that_  We're working on Central or West.  Could do East, I suppose, but you guys would still have 110-160ms.  That's just not feasible.

ANd that's the thing, we from Europe would LOVE to play against US-players (or atleast against someone outside EU) because from time to time we get to know who is the best player on EU ... we wanta world championship ... with a decent ping.

SCIENCE! Go develope some hyper glass fibre cable so we have 20 ms at USW and USE servers!

We have our own Fight Club, but the devs never supported it with anything when we asked them. Priorities™

Apparently I need to pay more attention to the news and announcements, those brackets look epic.

[EliteShooter]

None of us wanted to be the guy who ruins the party, but, it's obvious that the EU community lacks dev support, I do know they don't have a lot of time, due to the amazing effort they're putting in, releasing patch after patch (I LUV YOU DEVS), but I'm sure on a nice sunday,at around 3 PM EST (about 8 PM for us), they could host a similar competition, it will be just epic.

I'm not selfish, we're not selfish, myself, I don't really care if I get to participate or not, but what we actually want is the recognition ... such things will keep pushing us to stay active in the community, and we clearly can sense some kind of marginalization. There were MANY dev streams (a good thing btw, we all like it) but did any EU player participate in one of them, please correct me if I'm wrong. You can't really keep playing the "high ping no good" card. If you invite EU players, they will be so happy and they will never give a damn to ping or time or whatever. I mean, come on.

Again, IMO, our community is one, whatever helps or entertains any part of the community, is something we all appreciate, we're like a big family, but if -in that family- you prefer one member on the others, it will be a little problem.

I hope in next opportunities, the developers could take some time, and try to support the EU events, that will bring more attention to them, and encourage the players. I do know that it could potentially happen after this discussion.




At the very end, I hope everyone enjoyed their time. Congrats to xacius, but he must be banned from the competition, here's why: According to Aregon, "So long there is a Xacius you will never be the best at anything."

Hehehe give the devs a break guys, they can't participate in eu servers or vice versa in a competitive manner because of the ping. It won't exactly be fun to watch unless you happen to love watching hits not registering

You might argue that they could just host matches like this, but even that can't be that simple with the timezone differences and then those of us in Asia and Oceania would say It's unfair if they don't host one in our regions as well (12+ hour time difference). You get the point. So It's logical that they host in their own region for starters considering time and resources (human resources included). Besides afaik these twitch streamed tournaments don't expose the game to many (if any) potential new players, so it shouldn't be high priority anyway

I get it, but it's wrong, between 1 PM est, and 5 PM est, EU players from all timezones can be available for this, that time is pretty convenient for both US players and EU players, and the African me. lol ...

Let us leave it to AJK guys. I will that my OP was a result of being up waaay too long for my own good without getting any food or coffee.

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

We have our own Fight Club, but the devs never supported it with anything when we asked them. Priorities™

Priorities means:

- not having enought resources to cover much content
- not having enought members in the HWK team to release updates with conent and NEW stuff, no G2 jokes.
- beeing under time pressure, leaving out important stuff
- NOT BEEING SUCCESSFUL!

But this one has S9 and devs ... the EU fightclub had a very small number of people watching compared to the number that will be watching this tourney tonight.

very small number of EU players still play Hawken
newsflash: Hawken isn't doing well and it's doing even worse outside of the US so there is some sense trying to consolidate around what currently works, and when that house is in order /then/ see about fixing up another one

What happened to the devs that played in the EU_ I haven't seen one since around Gamescon Germany last year. One of my peeps said he came accross one doing tutorials back in October, but no signs since.
