Woo! Grats to those that participated! 

 

From CapnJosh:

 

You took out 434,708 bots.  That should have some impact.

 

 

1,254 players got the first award (100+ bots killed)

 

426 players hit the second (300+ bots killed)

 

253 players hit the third award (500+ bots killed)

 

 

32 people actually killed more than 1,000 bots.  How's that for dedication :)

Right on! That was a pretty fun event, too. I hadn't been in any of the bot matches for a while.

 

Note for future events of this type, I think it would help to be a bit more clear on what you mean by "bots," since there are the full-sized mech bots, and the "drones," which apparently counted toward killing bots? I honestly wasn't sure if I had hit any of the reward tiers till after I checked the rewards I got.

 

Anywho, thanks for the emblems. :) Looking forward to more events!

There had better not be. Had a reward for killing 1000 been mentioned, I wouldn't have slowed down after 500.

It was fun.  Unfortunately now I have to change my play style again to kill human piloted mechs again.  Doh!!.

 

Can I suggest that (if it's possible) to have some sort of counter on the profile page to see how far you are away from your target?  I had a piece of paper next to the mouse scribbling down the number of kills after each match.  Some of the people I was playing with indicated they had no idea where they were up to.  Just think it would be nice to have a counter advertised somewhere to see how far from the target you are.

I know it isn't hard to kill 100 bots, but it's damn good to see 1,000+ Hawken players doing anything.

+1

 

I think we need more regular bot events.

 

1) 1000 of those pilots didn't get to 500 bots.

2) These events are good for new pilots.

 

The 10K HC for 50 kills challenge was great for newer players in at least one way. One night of play could hand them a new mech. The problem is that it incentivizes veterans to stomp inexperienced players for reward.

 

I'd like the bot events to reward players with HC too as it will get new players in, prevent smurf stomping, and reward them a new mech or some internals.

 

Scale the HC reward with the bot targets. eg 2000, 6000, 10000

 

That's how you boost retention....

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

Veterans aren't motivated by HC....

Nice assumption you got there. You know exactly how every other experienced Hawken player is motivated?
This is the internet then it must be true?

I suppose what we have is a difference of opinion of what 'veteran' means.

I for one, don't have enough HC, but have enough skill to give new players a hard time (and did, to get my 50 kills in one night).
I spent my HC and now need more. If another 50kills event came on, i'd do the same. I still have one mech missing from my garage.

Bot weekends give new players a much better entry into the game so they can make it past the first week.

Being a veteran is not about skill, but time played. Someone that has played enough to be considerated a veteran will have most if not all mechs bought, and problaby a good amount of HC saved.
 

I ... have enough skill to give new players a hard time...


That is not impressive, new players in Hawken are usually terrible
 

Bot weekends give new players a much better entry into the game so they can make it past the first week.


They'll also play against a reduced set of enemy mechs on a reduced set of maps on only 2 game modes, and develop skills that won't apply when fighting against human players because bots and players behave very differently.

Well I suppose we're just using different definitions of veteran.

in any case, one million Babaji credits may be a good reward for next event :D

 

and these events (i mean, kill 50 ppl, and kill bots) like me more than early new years events (which actually was bored with this dumb yeti, actually, only one funny thing was a rev-grenadier, which shot "gifts" and new year "candy cane")
 

so, if devs made some special events for Deatmatch, MA and siege, i mean, you should play on MA to make it. etc. it wiil be so good. imho.

There are already stats for Silo captured / neutralized and EU collected / delivered so MA and Siege events could be made easily
