As someone who is typically pretty much against all forms of shitposting I have to say the current situation isn't a surprise in the slightest and probably is only gonna get worse.
Offering up opinions, ideas, feedback, and constructive criticism seems to have gotten this community absolutely nowhere. Considering Reloaded doesn't seem to have a clue on how to interact with the community and keep them in the loop. After months of being ignored and now that we've seen (and some have played) the new console build of Hawken it's clear Reloaded hasn't been listening and that they don't understand where the community is coming from in any regard, or at least that's how it comes across on the forums, Steam, Twitch, and all other forms of social media where Reloaded won't touch or engage the PC community with a 39 and a half foot pole.
What the PC community is seeing though, especially here on the forums, is the more outrageous and negative people get the more of a response Reloaded seems to give which actually leads to the community learning about things that should have been included in updates or at the very least someone over at Reloaded should have had the forethought to go "Gee I bet this community who has been around playing a dead game for like two years probably wants to know what it is up and where things are heading" instead of applying the mindset of "It's on a new platform so it's a new build thus there are no change notes cause nothing changed."
Maybe this is just me but Reloaded's response since Hawken for consoles was officially announced has readily demonstrated how disconnected they are from the PC community and a decent chunk of their audience. And the only thing that seems to get any worthwhile information and any kind of a response from Reloaded is shitposting. It's clear they didn't listen at all to us before now so it's clear that approach of trying to communicate with them did not work in the slightest.
So unlike Reloaded which seems intent to keep information vague, leave the PC community in the dark, keep communities isolated from each other, and play the internet version of the game telephone with information and isn't really doing anything to change this the PC community recognized their message wasn't being received and thus adjusted how their message is being delivered hoping someone at Reloaded will start paying attention and actually putting forth the effort to come off as caring.
Until that happens the fuzzy bunny posting isn't gonna go away or get any better. This is a direct response to the piss poor job Reloaded has done communicating everything and it's on Reloaded to adjust their message and delivery of said message to get everyone to calm down, back on the same page, and to get things back on track. When we learn that customization is coming back to Hawken later on down the lines because someone had to screenshot a Twitch chat message and a post on Facebook then others spend half the thread trying to figure out if it's real, fake, photoshopped, old, a joke, or whatever there is a serious problem on Reloaded's part.
So yea kind of all for the fuzzy bunny posting right now cause clearly going about things in a decent manner got us nowhere yet being a rude jackass who is incredibly negative seems to get responses in threads. Gotta go with what works and Reloaded sent the message loud and clear that this is what gets their attention and gets them to answer our questions.
Personally I'd rather things go back to being handled decently but right now that is up to Reloaded.
