There was the so called glorious days before ascension. There was the invasion that no one seems to talk about. There was the great silence. There was promise of revival but it seemed to fade into uncertainty.

 

The past years have indeed been troubling at best, but still there are quite a few people that have invested thousands of hours into the game and loved it. There hasn't  been an actual client update in... 1.5 years? I have lost track.

 

But most people still seem to think reloaded is actually doing something. I can see they don't communicate much, because they actually don't want an influx of new players right now. If you change the game radically, you have to do something to the content your customers have bought. Say they deleted the technician or the incinerator, they should compensate people who used MC to buy them. Messy. You would like to minimize the number of these people.

 

This tells me they are doing something that is... game changing. I don't even want to guess what their direction will be, but will Hawken be the game we all have loved anymore? There might be a day when you look back to this time and long for it's return. So embrace the game as it is now, hope for the best and fear for the worse, as for all things in life.

what if they aren't going to do something that is game changing and radically different from what the game already is

 

what then

 

what if they're doing good work

 

what then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's put it this way.  We can spin what ifs for as long as we live, but you don't know until something happens.  Speculation is nice and all, but fairly useless at this point, imo.

This is true most of the time, regardless of subject.
 

I'm not saying they aren't doing good job, I'm just saying that I have a hunch that things might change in the future. It might be for the better, I hope it will. There's just always someone who doesn't like something changing. As I said, I don't even make guesses what the changes will be. I wanted to say that many of people on this forum have been playing this great game for over a year without it changing and you might some day miss it as it is now.

Its been soooo long, long enough for almost all who is interested in the game; long enough for all who stays to see all that hawken offers.

They'd better have enough content that could be considered as a re-launch of the game, or it might means nothing.

 

Speculating is one thing, worrying is another.

I look forward to change. I want to see new things implemented as much as you do, most likely.  

 

Will things change? Absolutely. Mechs will be added that may introduce a new style.  That changes the game.  Weapons will be rebalanced. That changes the game.  Items rebalanced, internals changed, those will all change the game.  These are all good things.  Why you may ask? It is the mark of an actively developed game, something Hawken has pined for, for basically years.  It's something the overwhelming majority of the forum community longs for, I'm very definitively sure.

I've only ever played the game as it is now, and I love it. I still want change

I mostly love the game as it is. I (and most of the community, I hope) definitely long for the things you listed. For me, Hawken is an epic game worth of legends. Unfortunately that epic game failed financially. If changes involve p2w, locked crates with buy-able keys and things like that, which are present in other, financially more successful games, I will most likely long for the past.

 

My message isn't that of an apocalypse, but that of appreciating the present.

I've never followed a game for this long. Before it was released I was hyped from E3 footage, getting into the beta, ascension, Steam, the great silence, Reloaded, and the current stagnation. It's been a crazy ride, but unfortunately I've given up on the game and uninstalled it. I've accepted the fact that Hawken is broken, hence the uninstall, but a small part of me won't let go and I still come back here like an idiot hoping something, anythings happened, updated, or improved.

I have seen these threads before. I'm not trying to be that harsh, but they don't do anything. The situation is out of our hands now.

Joined the game 9/18/12...still here, still suck at it ( :tongue:) still love it and will still continue to play it whether it's alive with shiny new content and brimming with thousands & thousands of new cherub faced players...or till it's been kicked to the curb, lying in a gutter dead and dying....I will stay and continue to play....will you ?

Reloaded, keep doing whatever it is you're doing. Get it rebuilt and ready to be presented to the world again....the faithful are waiting with great anticipation to see and experience your results.... #HawkenKeepOnRockin :wub:

To be as honest as straight here.. be patient; be confident

 

why should they tell to us what are they doing if they do not have it ready to go yet? Why "adulterating" the enjoyment of an upcoming game build release?

 

I'm not saying with it that I'm not devouring my nails -a light way of cannibalism by the way..- while I'm waiting for new HAWKEN game content here at my end. But that's how I see it, guys.

 

Athough I've to admit that a bit more of feedback in the forums, even non-development related would be a nice touch from the devs. But hey.. time to play! ;)

 After what ADH/meteor did, you'd think going silent is the last thing any new development team would do.. provided they are aware of what the previous developers did.  It's not like keeping people in the dark in 2016 is going to build hype for a game that's essentially stuck in 2012.  It just starts wide speculation concerning the "doomed" fate of Hawken.

I don't really think they are concerned with posting info, it would be speaking to a small audience of the same 2-300 people playing and a fraction of those frequent the forums here.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them post things but realize they may feel there are bigger fish to fry when the time is right.

I worked in the past on several projects -not even half the size of what the HAWKEN project must be..- which were developed by other devs. In my humble opinion, we should be confident on that everything is going in the right way. According to the latest posts from the devs on development, i can understand pretty well that things are moving forward and also that they are working on many areas of the game which will be real new flesh for the HAWKEN game.

 

Suggestion: Just read again what Tigs posted last month and see youself how shinning are those nodal points..

 

TL&DR: Don't worry too much, it's going well, guys. ;)

Back in December (iirc), Josh said the "big news" about Hawken would probably not be what people on these forums wanted to hear and that an announcement would be coming soon.  Then, a few weeks later, he announced that Hawken would be developed for Android Console.

 

And everyone shrugged... like that couldn't possibly be the big news they'd been waiting for.

Well, I'm lazy, so you only get one: https://community.pl...android console

 

Josh comments on it about half way down the page.  There was another topic where ReLoaded made another, more official statement on it.  There was also some hints at a release for Shield.
