I love how the game is it self, but I feel there should be a way to sell mechs that is ether never used or just plain boring anymore. Also I think it would be cool to pay mc to place any weapon on any mech of your choosing.New maps and mechs would be awsome, kinda make upgraded mechs from the current selection.and bigger maps maybe with turrets to activate for help with maybe a defend and attack game.

Yes, please, give me a Sabot on my Infiltrator. With a slug rifle on the other hand. The rage would be DELICIOUS.

ETA: Oh! Oh! No, wait! Just gimme the breacher and leave me the grenade launcher! Hell yes I will pay money to be that OP.

Rev-GL on everything. Lol

I would love to trade the predator's primary with an prestige assault rifle.Also its secondary should switch with the eoc repeater.items should let you hold more also.

The option to sell mechs is one that has been asked for a lot, and would be beneficial IMO. I wouldn't use it myself because all of my duplicates are set up with alternate weapons and items, but for people who buy a mech only to hate it or somehow got a double they don't want, this would help alleviate some of the game's grindyness.

As for spending MC for changing the set weapon loadouts, that would be insanely pay to win and I would probably drop this game immediately. There have been many discussions on how in Alpha/pre-alpha there was free reign on weapon customization, and the result was OP apex builds that people flocked to. If people who paid money were given the option to create these apex builds that other people had no access to, that would be absolutely terrible. Don't mean to be harsh, but this shouldn't ever be a thing.

New maps and mechs would be awesome, but I would rather the devs focus on the issues that drive players away first (grindyness, lack of hooks to keep new players interested, long wait times, etc).

Who are you_ Dm30.pay to win only applys to a higher grade of thing that would dominate most. The weapon's I chose are by fare the best. But would be cool to have a chance to earn this"feature"at a set level in game. Such as level 50.keeping players playing.......again such weapons won't give much of an advantage.

A.k.a. scouts.

I find a zerk and a scout to be pretty different. And if I could put any weapon on any Mech first thing I would do is throw a flak on my zerk. Or maybe the grenadier load out o3o

Except that you don't understand how mech balance actually works.  Many mechs' stats and abilities are only kept balanced by not letting them be combined with certain weapons.  For instance, a raider with a vulcan would be terrifying.  Also, nobody would use the reaper if they could put its weapons on any other light mech.

Well yeah. You can't just throw any gun on any mech.It must be compatable. just like the upper, lower, middle  parts that you can swap.this is critical.but really I would love to get rid of some of the mechs I don't want.

That's what we have now: three primaries and a secondary selected because they're compatible with the mechs' roles and abilities. So why ask to bypass that with MC, if you essentially agree with the restrictions_

Also, in your OP you specifically said any weapon on any mech.

Genuinely curious.

Yeah i'm not a lawyer. My words was chosen to suggest not to fight. I just wanted to suggest some stuff,I understand mech balance. But you have to admirer the ideas. No! I'm not happy with the weapon choices on all the mechs.in fact they are a pretty stupid setup. Most of them have awsome setups for run and gun but anyone can do that. I just think they could at least add another secondary.also I thought this was for suggesting stuff not fighting over the game and What I would find cool in it. Btw who are you_

[titan002]

Besides, people on here agreed with some stuff.something needs to change i'm level 30 and find it hard to keep interested. I still love the game but like world of tanks some new stuff must be added like new maps and mechs would help. It's just repeative and and hard to play like I did in the beginning.I really don't want this game to go anywhere. Please, please! New maps, and let me get rid of the mechs i'm not compatible with.

You seem to be taking this personally, which there's no reason for. Chill, dude.

There was no attack in anything I said. You made a suggestion, I provided feedback on why I didn't agree with it. Yes, bypassing the set weapon restrictions in the game and allowing people to buy any weapon for any mech would be OP, and if it's cash only it would be pay to win. Examples: Put a Corsair MIRV on a Scout with Flak and it would be rediculous. Incinerator with PPA + SAARE is already overpowered--put those weapons on a Grenadier with its damage and AOE ability would be stupidly powerful.

Adding another secondary would be interesting and could be very good if done in a balanced fashion, but the problem is that with the limited choice of weapons available in game there would be a lot more overlap than there already is. The devs would have to create a set of new weapons and devote the time to balancing it all accross the board, which is probably more than they're willing to do when they're trying to tidy up the game for full release. It's a good suggestion, but unfortunately not realistic at this point in time.

As for the "who are you": Seriously_ It doesn't matter who I am. I'm an annonymous person on the Internet, same as you, the only relevant difference being that while it appears you started playing Hawken recently, I've been playing since the first Closed Beta almost two years ago. I've seen what has worked with the game and what hasn't, and it's that experience that makes me say that the set weapon combos are important to the balance of the game. Beyond that, who I am has no bearing whatsoever, and again, there is no reason any of this needs to be personal. Making it so just shows immaturity.
