I am concerned about getting on hawken and not being able to play with the rest of the players that are online because of mmr restriction... you should not restrict players from joining servers because of mmr. This is why people will quit. You put this restriction on so new players wont quit... but your logic is flawed.

 

Second.. when will you enable voice chat to work. That would boost the community activity and communication and comradery... would get new players to play this game.. They play their first game of hawken and they hear people on the mic communicating and hanging out talking together they can get into the community

 

 

 Third.  These new large 24 person servers is killing off all other servers leaving them empty and dead...  these maps are not meant to be played with this many people.. clusters of 10 mechs together with techs and repair orbs and c mechs.. it gets bland....   2 groups of mechs bunched up on opposite sides of the map from eachother at a standoff... A- mechs were made for maneuvering in out and behind and kill or do damage and get out... with these servers they become irrelevant.. it becomes a boring slow c mech game bunched up with techs

 

 

another concern is only being able to post 1 time a day? how can the forums ever create discussion ... you respond and bounce ideas back and forth... you wont have engagement the next day you did when the thread was up.  

 

  and is there any news on a patch to clean up the invisible barriers on the map that keeps the movement from being smooth all the time... everyone gets stuck on invisible walls quite often.

 

lastly I believe this game will grow with a release of a full version of the game that costs 20 dollars or so...  has many new maps/ gametypes and mechs.... even have a matchmaking system for win loss ranking system.. where u r locked in the game till the end... winner gains rank and meteor points to buy skins weapons new mechs etc... every month reloaded should host an online tournament with money prizes... ...  also you need a in game leader boards with ranks... even a clan system THIS GAME SHOULD BE KILLING WORLD OF TANKS

 

 

And to solidify this game for masses... you should create a "zombies" mode which i believe you have something like that now... where casuals can have fun with... if you put some time into it you could make a map made for the zombie mode... you could put a cool soundtrack over the gameplay  and the zombie mechs could be cool colored or designed and even make growls the map could be  eerie looking... have it get  foggy... have some seriously difficult ai scout mechs  released like hounds... maybe create an extra large giant D mech that walks around slow with rockets and have little a mechs around him... it would be cool....

This is why people will quit. You put this restriction on so new players wont quit... but your logic is flawed.


The reason some servers are out of MMR range is that new players can be put into matches with 2.5k MMR players. The whole point of MMR is to put players into matches with the same relative skill level. The current system works fine AS LONG as it has a sizeable player pool to work with.


Second.. when will you enable voice chat to work. That would boost the community activity and communication and comradery... would get new players to play this game..

This should be fixed eventually. Right now people can use the unofficial hawken team speak if you want, but as I have said in previous threads vixing the VoIP won't instantly fix teamwork. It will help somewhat, but not fix it.

Third. These new large 24 person servers is killing off all other servers leaving them empty and dead... these maps are not meant to be played with this many people.. clusters of 10 mechs together with techs and repair orbs and c mechs.. it gets bland.... 2 groups of mechs bunched up on opposite sides of the map from eachother at a standoff...

Yes.


another concern is only being able to post 1 time a day? how can the forums ever create discussion ... you respond and bounce ideas back and forth... you wont have engagement the next day you did when the thread was up.


This is because you are a new user. This system is in place to prevent spam bots.

and is there any news on a patch to clean up the invisible barriers on the map that keeps the movement from being smooth all the time... everyone gets stuck on invisible walls quite often.

This is mainly a problem with the way unreal engine manages collisions, but the maps could sure use some clean up here and there

lastly I believe this game will grow with a release of a full version of the game that costs 20 dollars or so... has many new maps/ gametypes and mechs.... even have a matchmaking system for win loss ranking system.. where u r locked in the game till the end... winner gains rank and meteor points to buy skins weapons new mechs etc... every month reloaded should host an online tournament with money prizes... ... also you need a in game leader boards with ranks... even a clan system THIS GAME SHOULD BE KILLING WORLD OF TANKS

1. HAWKEN is desgined to be a free to play game, making people pay would limit the player base and in quite a lot of cases limit profit.

2. New maps and game types should be implemented in the next few months when the new dev team is all back together

3. There is a leaderboard, but it is not implemented into the game yet. And I am unsure if it should be or not.

4. There have been tournaments with MC prizes recently, and I am sure in the future Reloaded will host some.

5. A clan system would be great and has been a common suggestion



And to solidify this game for masses... you should create a "zombies" mode which i believe you have something like that now... where casuals can have fun with... if you put some time into it you could make a map made for the zombie mode... you could put a cool soundtrack over the gameplay and the zombie mechs could be cool colored or designed and even make growls the map could be eerie looking... have it get foggy... have some seriously difficult ai scout mechs released like hounds... maybe create an extra large giant D mech that walks around slow with rockets and have little a mechs around him... it would be cool....

We already have co-op bot destruction which is similar to this.

I would have split up my replies over multiple quotes but it is hard to do easily on mobile. I may edit this later.

Can we just not? Most of this has already been addressed or is largely irrelevant at this stage in the development. Do your research before posting garbage.

Bold ideas for Hawken in another universe, but here? Not realistic even in 6 months out.

Well he's new to the forums and probably to the game so it's understandable that he didn't know about previous topics.

i wouldnt play the zombies mode anyways , just an idea to keep population up....  but a capture the flag mode and maybe a forge mode where we can build maps would be a good idea for the game too

CTF would be great. Also map building would be wonderful as there is some great talent out there. I am not sure exactly how this would be implemented or if am external program would be used.

We already have a "zombie mech mode" of sorts, it's called Co-Op Bot Destruction. It features wave after wave of AI mechs to keep you busy and even has boss mechs. Has good HC rewards, too. It is exactly like you envisioned except there's no spooky maps or "mech growls", because, well... That would just be silly. (Maybe they could do something like that for Halloween, though).

Night of the Living Fred Co-Op Bot Destruction mode for Halloween would totally make up for the bedsheet repair bot.
