1. We set up a new host at a new data center in Dallas just today
  - look for "dallas2" in the server name.
  - I want to hear your experience.

2. We got rid of the worst of the Dallas-based hosts.
  - The networking infrastructure just couldn't hang

3. E3 was productive
  - Several pretty big developments wrapping up; can't say anything yet ;)
  - The AirMech VR demo for the Oculus was great

4. Signed on a new core engine programmer
  - he's starting in early July

5. Actively interviewing Sr. Technical Artists and Gameplay Programmers
  - if you're interested or you know someone who might be, email resume and stuff here: http://reloadedinc.com/jobs.html
  - we're aiming for experienced vets
  - tell them capnjosh sent you

6. We're going to throw some active support at tournaments and leagues:
  - for now submit a support ticket with any and all updates you want us to know about
  - we will be sure to advertise them on the official Hawken channels

7. For this next week or so we're going to try something with HC: increase the per-minute HC gain rate
  - we're doubling it and doubling the max you can get per match
  - we're hoping to take some more of the edge of the sense of the "grind" and "paywall" that many have complained about. 
  - Also, we didn't like how lame this looked (it's a simple chart showing how many users receive how much HC due to time in-match):

Quick question, can we get our private servers switched to the new Dallas2's? If so I'll send in a support ticket. Thanks for the update tiggs.

I'm going to take a random guess and say that the spike in the graph is when Hawken initially came to Steam.

 

But...then that suggests that the rest is more than a year of data... O_o

Can't wait to see the weekly updates after new programmers start working!

Glad to see we are reaching the next stage of development.

Double HC, finally I can finish outfitting my mechs with internals!

Dallas2 servers seem to ping a tad bit better than the Dallas1 servers, a difference of about ~10 lower ping to me at least (a west coast player). Still some issues with rubberbanding and such, but a definite improvement from the other host that had the weird lag spikes all the time.

I'm still having major hit reg issues on all Dallas servers, but slightly less teleporting. I'm still getting quite a bit on dallas2 though, but not as much as before.

Thanks for the show of support for the TPG community!

 

Every week Nept has been posting the upcoming matches for TPG. Maybe a temporary sticky for them on the forums? Better yet, maybe an official sticky thread in general discussion for TPG schedule/news.

Well, I was going to say that I especially liked the "big developments at E3" part, but then I reread the update. Whole thing's fantastic. New hires and interviews, support for leagues and tourneys, increased HC gain for match time. Things are looking good :biggrin:  

 

Also, thanks for keeping us informed on developments for the game we enjoy so much. Very appreciated

Really appreciate the update! Reading what you guys have been up to, for better or worse, is really encouraging. Any word on the NA servers? I get great ping there but only got to play on them a little yet.


Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.
