Hey guys! Among other things, we really needed more contact with the devs. I decided to ask Josh, and he gave me the go ahead. I will try and get semi-regular interviews around twice a month, if you guys have any burning questions. I am still deciding on which platform exactly to do it on, but the date is pretty much locked in for the 15th. I will have all the details ironed out today or tommorow, and will edit as needed. If you have any questions you would like to ask Josh or Tiggs go ahead and post them in the comments below!

 

 

EDIT:

 

The Dev interview is still on, but it will be at a later date due to scheduling errors. I will be sure to tell you guys when it is.

 

Second Edit:

 

The interview has been officially rescheduled to this Monday, the 26th of October.

Question: When is the name changer's effects getting carried over into the game?


  

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

What are the plans (with dates/timeframes, otherwise this would be pointless) for Hawken's future with events such as balancing patches, major bug fixes (e.g. sticky walls) or maybe new content?

Q1) Why J1-B4B4 from "coop TDM" is so stronk and always rekt me!?
 

Q2) Will there be any major changes in the gameplay in the near future? should we wait for major changes to the game? (just answer yes/no...)

 

if not, several other questions.

Q3) In the majority of Online game balance is constantly correcting by devs, for example: +5 damage, or -5% accuracy... etc. And, it can be done without update as i know.

So, why you (josh and devteam) not changed balance at all?

- Devs planing something bigger in patch, which change whole gameplay?

- or devs just think that "all is alright" with current game balance?

Q4) How about "Duel" game mode in future?
(i'm not talking about current one untextured map, i ask about official 1vs1 mode, press play and system find opponent with the same rating as you, like in DM/TDM. something like this)

 

Q5) there are many bugs in game which are inherited from the previous developers. (for example, G2-raider ability, radar bug, voip, air-180, random primary weapon, walls, roof-climbing, and many others thing/bugs which never solved)
what are you planning to do with them?

What's the air-180 bug, nepa?

fuel consuption is stopped on a moment, you can be in air long time if press shift+s constantly.

i don't think it is working like it should be. it is not a serious problem if compared with other bugs, actually :D

to be honest, it is not a bug, just a broken thing. but i don't know how i should called it, so i call it - a bug.

My question would be as follows:

 

Are you guys working in any dedicated only milestone in order to solve major bug fixes and/or most relevant balancing tweaks for the upcoming game patch?

 

Thanks!,

Have you folks been compiling a list of fixes/changes requested by the community that will eventually be on the platter for the first notable game update when the team is finally hired and working?

 

... specifically, I'd like to know if you folks are going to revert my beloved Infiltrator's cloak back to the version that doesn't eat fuel. :whistling:

I am also keen to hear the status/eta on the client patch, as I feel that may start driving more marketing to new players.

Something that I have heard may be in the pipeline previously was some balance tweaks on weapons, items or abilities and I'd be keen to hear about progress on these or if they have been shelved in favour of more important work, etc.

Is there any update on the changes to Oceanic region. Moving/closing servers? Recombining with Asia region, etc

Perhaps some news on private servers (cost/duration/purchasability). Is there a plan to allow server owners to ban items like scanners/repair charges, etc.

1. Atlantic servers are dead 99% of the time, have you thought of ways to make it more appealing to both EU and US players? Are you considering shutting them down?
2. What kind of position is "gameplay/generalist" and what kind of profile are you looking for (this is probably confidential)?
3. What's your favourite mech/primary to play?

Question: What are your thoughts on the current state of sound in the game, like for instance weapon sounds or environmental audio? Satisfying, lacking? If latter, are there any plans to improve it and how will you do this?

I would ask the following: " Many of the weapons and mechs in Hawken have a step learning curve and are punishing if you are not landing all your shots or using your ability correctly, leading to defeat and frustration before players get it figured out. What do you plan on doing as in regards to new mechs and weapons to make Hawken more accessible to new players and players that play casually.

Axion, my thoughts would be better training materials.

TRIBES: Developed a server mod with 40 servers, 20 clans, and competitive league play.

PLANETSIDE: Got about 30 suggested changes implemented, and 40,000 game downloads via a 1Mb mini-installer I developed.

I tried to think of a way of planning "new mechs and weapons make Hawken more accessible to new players that play casually" and then I remembered ADH doing that when they made the Technician. Then I violently threw up. Thanks for that.

Disagree, I find training tutorials and whatever else to be almost useless in just about every game I've played. Basics are nice but leave it there as there isn't going to be any training material that is going to make you good Infiltrator or Raider player. You just have to suck it up and suck with until you get it which many people will never do. Bringing me back to my original point in question form; Hawken needs more easy to use yet interesting mechs and weapons.

then I remembered ADH doing that when they made the Technician. Then I violently threw up. Thanks for that.


Hey, NP buddy.

I had stopped playing Hawken when that happend so yeah, I was a bit "surprised" when I saw the Technician as well.

Let's beat on a dead horse just once more?

A D-frame Super-Heavy class/Siege Mech, or anything big, ugly, and plain mean-looking would do:

Is there anything in the pipe along this line? Someone did mention the Interdictor...and i believe Khang did something similar with a heavy class (4-legs, too).
