Since the developers are very buzy with the server...stuff, I thought it would be interesting to make a Q&A without the A. I'll update this post with the questions for a period of time.

Rules

Only one question is considered.
If you post a question and someone has already posted the same question you can change yours.
You can quote another persons question as your question. The question will get bonus cookies.

All questions must be about the Hawken video game.

Please read other players responses so the same question is not repeated (unless for bonus cookies).

The word question was typed 11 times.

Why is there such a lack of communication_ We know they have stated that they are too few to do the job, but how can this stop them when indie devs communicate with their playerbase daily_

ok.
normal question.
Current game conception contain many "fails" between A, B and C classes. Are you going to change meta again_ Because obvious, current balance works differently in different game types, which actually means current balance doesn't working at all.

What arguments made you think that server-side detection is better than client-side_  The first Planetside (oh rhymes) had client-side and I thought it was good even with the negatives. (getting killed just after we hid behind a corner)
I don't know if PS2 is client-side too.

I think it's especially bad because of A-classes getting a pretty huge advantage from this, and it's relative to everyone's ping.  Even laggy A-classes seem harder to hit than normal A-classes.

The comics essentially are the lore. There isn't much they don't cover that you will find anywhere else.
