Is there a Hawken road map?  Would like some news on when the PC update will come.  The last I heard was after the console release.  Now the console had one update already and still no PC update.  It would just be nice to see a road map even if it is only notional.

 

Thanks

We have a roadmap internally, pending some other issues I'll talk to Josh about getting one out.

I was gonna crack a joke about Josh being undead, but instead will just say 'I'd appreciate that, thank you.'

Oh! Oh! That's actually funny. Nice.

Also seems like you have the ability to go in and play with all the various mech parts/assets.
You should make it a competition to see who can correctly guess all the parts used in that... conglomeration.

Josh actually has been the driving force for me wanting to communicate. Unfortunately he's been busy in the producer role for two games and hasn't been able to communicate as often as he would like to. The team has some great ideas in the works, a lot of what you're seeing come out on consoles is just filler stuff while we put some polish the existing codebase and asset pipeline so we can expand on all platforms.

 

Side note, lore has become increasingly important due to community feedback lately. We realized that we really need to define the lore of the game so people feel attached to the game and universe that they are playing in. It's funny, the composite armor internal might actually be removed because it's not lore friendly. If you think about it, in Hawken lore, it doesn't make sense to have that as an internal - why should someone get an increase in their mech's power after their mech gets wrecked? That was actually one of Josh's decisions, not mine, by the way.

If this is just filler, like the locked items & internals, can you share what kind of cosmetic stuff is in store that isn't stuff that looks like it was pulled of Google Images?

There's a few cockpit decorations in store that are more lore-friendly in the pipeline. Not sure if I can show them yet as they're mostly a work in progress.

Great idea!

By the way, you can delete all mechs other than Assault.  :thumbsup:

Only that internal. Others are fine (somewhat) with the tweaks we've made to balance them. If anything we're setting ourselves up to be able to add more of them over time.

My favorite mech that makes the game worth playing. Assault.
C05, are you able to say or project at this point if the Assault is being removed as in the console versions?

I don't believe it will be. No reason to remove that mech.

Just one particular, the composite internal only.

It may not be removed in the next console patch. We'll see.

my opinion, not even all player know hwk lore (i don't know :D)

my hawken game impressions always being based on game visual impressions. mechs created from trash, indestructible gigastructure metal, which slowly swallow world, and regenerate metal structure very fast (you can see it if shoot in gigastructure groung from bullets/TOW, how gigastructure explode, and than reconstruct back itself)
this is simple lore, and you see it it game. without any worlds. All what you should do, added some small details like mech description, weapon description, etc. anyway, i read it once i forget, because... why? it not help me killing enemy mechs... xD

but i actually know some part of new lore, like mechs maded from cavorite, 2 tonn, etc... which devs added after ascention i suppose (because some people start asking stupid questions like "how 50 tonn brawler flying with 2 tiny jumpjets? why bullets is infinity? where mech bring their items? how small robot repair metal mechs?" - and other stupid questions which noone care xD) , and those part of lore is quite stupid and not related with game design, imo, because daon't have any sense, and just added because players asked. i'm strongly doubt than hawken visual/models designers working together with man who created lore.

anyway, i preffer lore, in which raider created from old tank corpuse, and tech has a T46 tank detail as a head. and not created from mythycal cavorite metal :/

AHA! I know where Adhesive got the name "Cavorite" for their anti-grav metal. It's from a science fiction nove I just finished reading: A Deepness in the Sky - Vernor Vinge (1999).

Oh, wait, nope. It's been adapted from H.G. Wells who introduced it in the 1901 story, The First Men in the Moon.

i think it's came not from a "deepness in the sky"
https://en.wiktionar...g/wiki/cavorite

Cavor +? -ite. First used in 1901 in The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells. It was named after the fictional Dr. Cavor. The initial use was capitalized, but later authors borrowing the concept sometimes changed it to lowercase.

In the first use, the metal acted as a gravity shield; after the metal was cooled, objects contained within it were no longer subject to gravity. Some later uses, e.g., Alan Moore's, imagine the substance to simply have a negative gravitational mass.

If the game server quality and game play integrity is not restored first, it will not matter what roadmap follows as it will all be wasted time.
