Bored...sameold sameold sameold...

 

How about CHANGING - anything.

 

New DM: all players must pick a rental mech for match; lowest score chooses first, highest last. Mechs all same, or just a few differences, or mixed, or WHATEVER. That way, it will stop being everyone takes their best mech in and DESTROYS anyone trying to LEARN the game.

 

DM - limited fighters 2/4/6 etc.

 

DM - by very small MMR diffrences - you got 500 more/1000 more/ 5000 more than me, you don't get in.

 

DM - no time limit - gain level 30 in one session!

 

DM - no radar - no cooldowns - no items - no internals

 

All can be applied to TDM as well.

 

DUMP DODGE FOREVER. Save a brain today.

Ok, then change the dodge cooldown to the same as special ability 30-45 secs.

 

Have a game data dump available after every game - lets get the facts on hacks; let's see their cooldown times, their DAMAGE RATES, their damage taken, etc. STOP hacking totally, publish all match results in detail - they're tiny text files being generated all the time anyway....

 

And HEY - be careful out there.

You should look to some of the community events that go on weekly. They do a lot of mutators and crazy nonsense.

the trick is alternating games/hobbies try half and half, if your ok with gaming 100% the time try a totaly different game style for myself i alternate hawken with modded minecraft so one gets my thrills and the other gives me a sense of accomplishment usualy given by grinding rpgs but hawken constantly for a week to me is a dead end, by weeks end im so framiliar with the same maps, loadouts, tactics and worst of all the same opponents so i must go forget and return to fresh opponents

Responses to OP in no particular order:

Afaik, damage is server side so damage hacks shouldn't happen. Excessive speed hacks shouldn't happen either. Aimbots is the thing to look at and that can be debated by poring over accuracy stats seen on the Hawken herokuapp. Not to say anti hack stuff isn't important though.


No Dodge Hawken sounds extremely boring. Dodge mechanic is what helps make the game unique.

No time limit DM wouldn't work afaik because stats are only registered and stored as valid if a match ends the proper way. Leave a match "early," game won't register your progress. Even in private servers, if a admin ends the Match early, nothing is rewarded.

You often see unbalanced DMs due to lack of interest in them as well as a low population with a wide skill difference. Not much that can be done other than tightening MMR restrictions for each server and that has usually ended badly.

The mech choosing rental thing could be fun, but it wouldn't stop players from curbing stomps because a good player would do well regardless of the mech they use, for the most part.

But general game mutators would be fun, and are fun. Recommend checking out community events that do these. There was a 1v1 tourney recently that did a no radar mod.
