Figured I would put this here to work in tandem with my post on the steam forum,

http://steamcommunit...30406664788859/

 

Basically an idea for the first new mech to come out (after the months of fixes and whatnots) to be a mech inspired by the concept of the Phoenix. I've read several times how HAWKEN is "rising from the ashes" which is what gave me the idea.

 

As far as concept, what it looks like, what class is it, what weapons it would have, etc. I figured I would leave that to community discussion and to the dev team but I liked the idea too much to not say anything.

Hmm.... maybe make it work like the incinerator, but instead of heat, it uses cold.

As I said in the Steam forums, I for one think that this is a great idea. Also maybe some kind of Phoenix type of skin for other mech as well.

I love this idea.  It's meta and stand-alone cool at the same time.

 

Edit: What about a sweet pheonix rising style explosion on death?

Flame thrower of course. Why is this even a question if the mech is name Pheonix.

I think kind of like the incinerator's AoE on death, with maybe like a 3 second "life after death" would be really cool. It'd have to be A-class for that though.

For anyone who may think that having another mech use identical or similar traits/mechanics with the incinerator is a bad or repetitive idea, please remember that certain mechs already share certain stuff. Sharpshooter & Reaper, Infiltrator and Predator, etc.

 

I support this idea. B-class, fire themed mech that plays differently from the incinerator, or keeps some traits, would be a great idea. HOWEVER...

 

...There's already more B-class mechs in the game compared to C or A class mechs. Maybe an A-class fire mech would be interesting, the Spitfire or something.

 

Just sayin' we need more A & C before we get another B.

I really think it should be A class, with incinerator primary weapons and something like a flamethrower, but not. Maybe something that spits like a napalm out that can immolate surfaces/stick to mechs for a DOT. The ability like I said could be a passive AoE on death fallowed by like a 3 second "second wind" to maybe get that last few hits in for a revenge kill. It being an A class and all I don't think a "bleed out" would be too negative, if so then just the AoE on death would be pretty awesome.

i think they should do this. but my take is they make a new mech call it Phoenix. BUT everyone that logs on and buys the skin ( be free) get a limted edtion paint job for that mech ( or all). in f2p limted time items do very well. so not only a new mech but a 1 of a kind phoenix like paintjob

Yeah, it should be an A-Class, with heat cannon base, with alternate being submachine cannon, and prestige being the ReFlak-35, primary flamer does low damage but act's like the M4MA, and increase the opponents heat levels. The Elite Chassis and stuff should be all black with with a phoenix on it ala the Trans am. But maybe I'm just over hyped.

nteresting idea, but I think it would be better to have a stage with a theme of Phenix before a wick, would something like the Charge  Beecon ability

I like the idea. 

I think it should be an A-Class with a flamethrower like weapon and maybe when it dies you can use your ability within a certain time span (like 3 seconds or so) to rise from the dead with half your health and/or heat half up or something.

That is a very interesting idea, but ultimately pointless. It would only serve good 1v1 battles, and for anything else it would be a wasted ability, but then again, the Inc has an F skill and 90% of people who play don't even remember that, so maybe.

How about whenthe mech is destroyed it explodes and does a ton of damage in a small radius? If it kills something you get the option to be revived on the spot, but enemy team still got that kill and will get another if you are in a bad spot.

Oh please no, no martyr mechanics.

Lazers. All you have to do is turn the Tech's effect into a dialed up hp hit, and make it a sustain fire pulse lazer with a high-heat/long cooldown turkey roaster cannon secondary (what the incin shoulda/coulda been). All you need to do is make it a solid shaft image, add a new sound effect, and diddle with the balance a little.
