Hello Everyone, 

 

Now that you know what we're working on, it's time to start introducing you to our team members.  I'd like to start collecting some questions that can be asked of all our members. We won't be able to ask all the questions you post but a good amount of them will be taken to break the ice. After the post is made with the questions, it will allow you to ask other questions of the team member. 

 

List below questions you'd like to see answered on the introduction for the team members.

Do any of you have felony drug charges?  Do you feel these charges are fuzzy bunny or do you accept them?

 

Edit:  To the rest of them.  What is your favorite mind altering drug?

Were any mech platforms in the game in it's current form scrapped when transferring everything over to console?

Have you heard the news of our lord and savior the based (haha, pun) turkey mech?\

How are your days going?

This. It's why I'm not throwing any seriously hardball questions at these guys, because they're just doing a job and probably think the world of the game. The utter failure of communication, planning and understanding social media in the 2010s isn't necessarily on them.

 

EDIT:

 

<incitatus> i think we don't give a fuzzy bunny about who the new devs are and what they like to eat for breakfast
<incitatus> we just want to know what they did to our mechs'

 

Also, we previously had devs that had likeable, charming personalities that we discovered for ourselves more or less organically. When they went silent we were pretty pissed. How do you think we're going to respond to ham-handedly curated responses from previously silent devs, regardless of how charming or likeable they may be?

1. What's your favorite kind of pizza? Honesty is key here folks!

 

2. What's up with the double-seeker mech on the homepage? That has to be a troll, as many people here have joked about a G2 Rocketeer (A-Class, to boot) in the past. If it's not a troll, where do you get your crack and may I have some?

I would love to have one of the team explain the "Mech Tree" - how the progression is handled, what items/attributes are affected by progression, whether there are certain parts of progression, mechs, weapons, items which are only available through a payment, etc.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Devs can feel free to correct me here, but I'm pretty sure this is outside what someone on the development team could honestly answer.

 

It's like asking an aerospace engineer at SpaceX, "how do you plan to increase SpaceX's market value and ensure that SpaceX stockholders get their expected return?"

 

Aerospace engineer: "... increase the diameter of the bolt which failed last week?"

 This is the dev interview thread. Close that other thread it always  leads to sycophantic pandering.

 

And above all else,  the community wants their noods.

Was the console port work affecting the PC side of things over the past year, or were the multiple server problems the game encountered part of some other issue? If so, what were those issues specifically?

As a potentially redundant suggestion: the developer accounts should have the appropriate forum flair so that we know those accounts are authentic.

Are you going to continue to develop  the VR aspects of the game so it's fully functional with Oculus Rift and other headsets ?

 

Secondly, are you thinking about incorporating any player made, or inspired content to the game like mech concepts,  map ideas and lore?

Yes, how long till we get to play "spank the dev" when they join into an open match?

How do you think we're going to respond to ham-handedly curated responses from previously silent devs, regardless of how charming or likeable they may be?

 

Correct answer = "We're going to permanently maintain communication with this community starting NOW, listen to your concerns, make it right where we did wrong, and explain the whys of what we do when the community doesn't agree with us, and communicate your concerns up the chain of command. We'll talk again on such-and-such date, and we'll be there hell or high water, and we'll be in-game too. Here's what we're working on this week. Here's what we've done already. Help us make Hawken all it can be. We want to know what you think works and what doesn't, and so does Josh. We all love this game too."

 

Incorrect answers = press releases only, long periods of silence or unexplained sudden disappearances of devs/community managers, ignoring PsychedelicGrass's 'Take my money, please! You promised!' requests, not involving veteran players as playtesters, lack of pro-active anti-cheat measures, and "Worth the wait" posts.

 

Yes, I'm asking for the moon here. Aiming high. If the devs can't answer "What actions will you be undertaking in the future to restore good relations", I hope they would find someone who can.
