    No interview this time. Just community questions form teamspeak, twitch, forums etc. 2 min limit per question for about an hour. Rapid fire. No holds barred. Josh let me know if you're open to this and if so when is a good time?

    Hawken Today at 17:58

    Let's do it.

    Thursday or Friday afternoon should work for me.

    Merl61 Today at 20:56

    Awesome. Say, Friday 3pm 1pm your time?

MORE DETAILS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

The event will be at 4PM EST on Friday, September 11th. It will be around an hour long and will consist entirely of questions from the community. You may submit questions in 3 ways.

 

1. Replies to this topic (these will be prioritized).

 

2. In Twitch chat when we go live. 

 

3. In Teamspeak during the event. 

 

*QUESTIONS MUST BE SPECIFIC AND TO THE POINT* I will do my best to get answers that share these qualities. If a question has strange wording or is not specific, I will have to change it but will attempt to include as much relevant information as possible. 

 

The event will be held in the Q&A channel in the HKTS ts5.gameservers.com:9152

 

Any questions may be asked in this thread, a forum PM, or in an email to hawkenteamspeak@gmail.com

Can we submit questions here? Cuz I'm wondering about balance changes. And when we may be able to expect the first big update.

Specific, eh? How about this then...

1. What types of team members do you still need before serious work can begin? Are you almost done hiring, or are there still some big gaps in the roster?

2. When do you think the next big update will be ready? Are you free to discuss anything about it?

3. Will HAWKEN experience any radical shifts in gameplay? What about a single player campaign?

4. What ever happened to the Love Wins event badge? And what are forum awards?

5. A lot of people (especially vets) want to see the severs unlocked. Has this suggestion ever been taken seriously? If you've decided against it, why?

6. It's there a "housecleaning patch" on the way? For things like the in UK, in-game weapon stats, map collisions ("super glue"), map climbing, voip, etc.?

7. On a similar note, is anything in the works to address balance issues? Mechs, abilities, weapons, things like that?

I dunno, just some questions I thought of. Use all some or none, whatevs. If I think of more, I'll jot 'em down.

Just make sure you stress the P2W thing. It was the single thing responsible for the Steam exodus, and it's crucial Josh doesn't repeat the mistake.

Question: Can Josh show us what he has planned (with timeframes) so far for Hawken and what his 'final' goals are for the game? Everything that is unclear or uncertain or not safe should not be mentioned. :)

Josh just gave a pretty good interview, and in many answered a lot of questions. He still doesn't have a full team, has stuff he can't talk about, and addressed the P2W debate by saying the game will remain pay to lower grind. He even mention that in less than a years time the game will see some significant changes. At this point it's probably best to just wait it out vs bombarding the dude over and over.

Loaded. opening file.

We've found something quite strange around the Anti-Air missile silos we were told to keep an eye on. There appears to be large amounts of spacial warping, similar to that of the warp engines in most industrial cargo ships, however there seems to be absolutely nothing that could be causing this.  The warping causes short distance teleportation around the Anti-Air silo, this warped field around the silo also seems to cause disorientation and nausea to whomever goes trough it. The teams will continue monitoring the silos and the warped fields as instructed, however I suggest sending an extra team to the crash site of the cargo ship, for the warp engine on that ship may possibly have something to do with this.

 

sincerely

You best ask him what he has learned about boosting EOC puck airspeed n Deeps.  Whether it would require a patch or if he can change it on the fly.

How did the talks with Khang Le go? Hmm? HMM?

 

that is an excellent question,  khang le's art direction is what, i believe, drew most of us to hawken in the first place.  if he's back on board it'd be a boon to hawken's fans.  especially if they are planning to be creating a bunch of new content.

 

however...  if you guys are not really going to making a bunch of new shits (and i think there is enough half finished assets to get things going for a bit) then maybe not getting a full time deal and just a piece meal or on project / consultation level would be cool.  though i feel the hawken aesthetic has been fairly well established and another competent artist could pick up the torch -- it disturbs me to think that all these talented people devoted so much of their effort into this great thing and then bounced when corporate interests sucked out the soul (in their minds?).  feels like an abandoned child that even the parents don't love anymore...  if it were me i think i'd still be playing an anonymous alt.

I would LOVE if we could get some of that classic Hawken feel back.  The cold-war era washed out colors, the haze in the air... it was all so appealing from a game.  The core of the gameplay is still here in Hawken, but I think the look and feel of the alpha/early beta were what got me all moist for Hawken in the first place.

I'd still argue it's a bit early for that. For the moment I'm more than satisfied with that interview, it was a no bs, straight shooting conversation. And I can appreciate that. Heck, Josh said there will be a Steam free client, plenty of good news and information came from that talk. I'm also patient enough at this point to wait a bit longer to hear from Josh and company when they're ready to feed us with more info. Seems like he has plenty planned, and it's best to not over promise, and under deliver.

It was very broad. While the interviewer did do his research, there may be specifics that people are still wondering about.

Question to Josh:

What do you think about dedicated servers for new players (max. pilot lvl=15 AND max. MMR=1500) plus reworking the MMR calculation in these pilot levels so that players that are good from start or are smurf accounts could be removed from these servers after a few matches?

Awesome !

Here are mines :

 

- About European servers :

Several people (including myself) have better performance on Amsterdam servers than Frankfurt. Do you plan to open more servers from Amsterdam  (and close some Frankfurt servers to some extent) ?

Do you plan to open servers from new European countries ?

 

 

- Have you took a look on nepacaka's mech ideas ? Are really "worked" (I don't know exactly how to say it, something that demanded quite some time to think/post) and/or serious suggestions about new content is actually read by the devs and can inspire for new stuff ?
