merl and i are in for one a piece. doubt i'll get out to use it for any event swag, but i'm a sucker for trinkets.

 

i think the tails side should be reworked; it looks a little bland and underwhelming. if at nothing, i would prefer if the images were reversed, like have the hawken logo as the faded watermark and the hawken text more bolded.

 

edit: why isn't this the tails side

The code engraved on the edge of this coin will initially redeem for 1440MC, but over time, that will increase.  The longer you hold onto the coin before redeeming the code, the more it’ll be worth.  Yeah, that’s gonna be fun.  Every month for 12 months on the 1st of each month it will increase by 288MC.  So, if you wait to redeem it you’ll get $34 worth of MC.

 

No.

 

Wow, no.

 

Holy fuzz, no.

 

Are we seriously doing this? Are we seriously speculating on a game that might not even be here in 12 months? Are we seriously expected to pre-order a coin commemorating a struggling game on the basis that it's value might increase based on time the game may not have and our effort at going to unidentified, unscheduled and unadvertised shows?

 

Please tell me this isn't serious.

Dude, they might use the money for an artist, just look at that poster design. They might even be able to afford someone who can use Photoshop.

I order a challenge coin for PAX Prime every year, even though I never get asked about it.  Damn you Tiggs and Josh, for coming up with these trinkets.

 

You had better be at Prime next year so I can present this, or I'm going to be somewhat cross with you :wink:

 

Now, where are our Fred and Laila bobbleheads?

you should have given us cool customizable horns or neon kits for our mechs.  I would have bought MC today for something like that. 

 

that coin...nah. I hope you didn't have to make a large minimum order.

Meteor Credits aren't really in demand, so buying this goofy-looking coin is only for the most hardcore fandom with money to blow. No player of genuine interest in Hawken has any insight as to whether this will have value in the future. Seems like a high-risk low-reward purchase.

 

Seems like a great idea, but wouldn't it be better to do something like this when Hawken is more established as "Hawken is here to stay" rather than during uncertainty of further development?

An interesting spin on merchandising, with an interesting little trinket to boot. Not entirely sold on the aesthetic design but it's a neat idea - might pick one up.

you're thinking of it in terms of cost-efficiency and risk-reward; i just want a piece of merch to own. the other upsides are just benefits imo.

i am sorry but i am with amid on this, i dont have the most confidence in the game as of right now. there are things that keep me playing such as TPG (which is a player run thing) but other than that not much else. i have played this game for almost three years now. it almost died once allready, i cant expect it to stick around.

This coin looks dumb, sorry. I mean I get what you are trying to do with this but I think its the wrong kinda thing to be spending resources on. Its only going to appeal to small section of the player base and only a portion of those are actually going to buy it....

Luckily your opinion doesn't really count for anything...

The game was doing "ok" with no advertising while Adhesive was scrambling to get content out even while the writing was on the wall as far as their financial situation is concerned. The game was managed about as bad as possibly could have been, and thats till the game we have now at least wait for the new guys to pick things up and start making changes before you start sprouting doom. The boss of Hawken just said the game is here to stay for fuzzy bunnys sake but perhaps you know something he dosn't?

Interesting idea to fund game... How about adding possibility to buy coin with mech ability instead of that silly pilot?
I think i would buy that. I wanna help you guys but its hard to spend money for sth ugly (other side is cool,just pilot side)

Just to clarify, they approached us and offered to set things up so there's no out-of-pocket for us.  They do the fulfillment and everything.  They suggested the design too - apparently simpler is better with coins.  I'm only doing stuff like this if it's has minimal distraction potential.

This is good to know. If you haven't noticed, the community is a little concerned for Hawken, and seeing time and effort spent on something that makes me think you've hired Billy Mays instead of a technical artist would give me some heartburn if I were prone to that sort of thing.

 

I personally will not be investing in this, but I hope you get a good return on it.

I mean, I think it's kinda neat.  Personally, I would've preferred the Hawken logo minus the text on the one side, but whatevs.  I don't typically buy trinkets, but I can appreciate them.

20 USD for the coin, and four USD for shipping (and I'm on the opposite side of the country). Not what I would call 'high risk'.

Many vendors also will do coins based on demand. The days of 'minimum amount orders' are pretty much gone.

As someone who has been involved with community designed challenge coins for the past three years, there seems to be some kind of misconception of just how much effort is involved with these.  In a nutshell:
  • Design is created, often with a template, and sent to the vendor.
  • Vendor looks at it, decides if it's feasible, and sends back any adjustments, sometimes as a 3D render
  • Customer checks the design and may or may not send any corrections or enhancements (image is off centre, want to add a reeded edge, etc)
  • Vendor mints a proof coin
  • Customer approves the proof, or sends corrections, and production starts.
I'm confident that what Josh says about the potential distraction being minimal is accurate.
 

i'm such a dork, but i ordered mine, and you guys are dicks. all like, "meh, i don't like it, it's not for me, so it sucks."

Indeed.

Ok, thats fine, nice, and good then, and changes my opinion on it (heck maybe I'll even get one).

The one thing I'd still have against doing stuff like this is that it may be distracting and sending the wrong message to the player base. For the casual enthusiast that knows how long its been since there has been new content but dosn't read the forums or follow Hawken on Twitter and hence would have no idea what is happening behind the scenes with team building; they might see this coming out ahead of new content (chronologically, not in terms of Reloaded's prioritys) and totally get the wrong idea.

First, Love Wins event is a total failure due to the "i don't want rainbows in my godamn forum profile, gotta keep my manliness"; and then all these rants about "this coin is ugly, 12 months for Hawken?! is gonna be ded omahgerd".

Seriously, if you don't have anything constructive to say about all of this, without even knowing why, why would you post something that doesn't make any sense and makes you look like a selfish Ice Cube. Give them a break, Jesus. freaking. dancing. Christ

Edit: I would order one but the shipping costs almost half of the price of the coin, not worth it for me.
