I just started playing the other day, not sure how many games but probably less than 30 at this point. Pilot level 12, playing mostly my scout and reaper. Many that have balanced teams and I don't join right near the end I have been able to be competitive. This game has no p2w elements.
So ... P2W is actually a thing?

Hi,
made this video to show, that Hawken is (mostly) not a Pay 2 Win Modell for new players. You can link this video in any channel or thread, if you want.
Fresh Account - Starter Mech - Just pay attention to those rules
1. Your radar is important
2. Stay with your group if you are new, learn the map first, you can move with knowlege much better
3. If your team got destroyed, retreat®roup
4. Just kill 1 enemy mech, retreat and repair, repeat
5. Use the Redeem code on homepage called "NEWRECRUIT" to get more EXP for some days
6. lower mouse sensitivity from 20 down to 10 and try mouse dpi between 1000-2000 (your aiming should get better, with sniper even lower)
7. FOV 110, tough the screen will be distorted and its harder to tell the range between mechs, but you get used to it
8. Your mental state is also very important, if you get angry, or if you are frustrated, you make more mistakes, take more risk and loose a lot of fuel to reach the enemy soon for revenge, instead you get killed because you can't move anymore.... This is like the radar one of the most important rules
The best way to play this game from beginning is to stay with your Starter Mech, the Assault until you reached lvl 24, so you have acces to all items/internals. After that you have enough HC to buy some new mechs and/or internals/items with acces to all of them (aside weapons though mech lvl). You earn in the first hour already 25-30K HC.
Here is the video. I was holding back and didn't played really "smart" to avoid getting damage, i just wanted to show what some players could possibly do from the start right away, tough i used some advanced movements.
K/D Ratio 40:0, so at least people can't say its P2W entirely, if they just play with the assault until they reached lvl 24 to buy new mechs and equip them fully
Kind Regards,
Galaxy Radio

I dont see ANY p2w in HAWKEN.
If you doubt....Look at Warframe. You can also buy weapons with cash there. Its faster and all....But it doesnt give you any "extra power" or such. So you end up with same weapon as free users. Just you get it few days sooner. Thats not p2w. Thats pay to get "new and shiny" asap.
P2W is when you get unfair stats (damage bonus, movement speed, extra armor and such) by paying for it....There is no such thing in Hawken. All weapons are rather balanced. And even if you unlock them with MC...they still have same stats.

You guys keep forgetting that most cosmetics give sexiness bonuses, and we all know the sexiest mech always wins.
You get bonus xp from style points too.

I made this a little vid' to show what an average/good player can do with a naked Fred.
Fortunately there was another good player in the opposite team using an EOC raider.
First game was imbalanced (I dunno what the MM did!).
Second game I use my techy at first and we got rekt until I play dat naked Fred.
(-> when the skilkl gap is high, in a lower skilled team when the best player use a tech it's usually a bad idea).
Last game was balanced.

How to remove pay2win perceptions from Hawken:
o Like the starter Assault, all newly obtained mechs now come with one full set of items and internals tailored for their intended role: Offense, defense, or movement.
Bam. Done.
Though I don't see this completely working until we have more internals (and maybe items too.) For example, though there are classes with an offensive focus, there are almost no offensive internals! All I can think of is the Failsafe.
More defense and movement internals would be easy if internals had a "Mark" system similar to items. i.e. Mk 1 = Basic strength, Mk 2 = 2x strength of Mk1, Mk 3 = 3x strength of Mk1.

A good point though.
I'd totally be cool with higher price Mechs, but decked out in one single solid set of internals and items.
Way more newbie friendly that way.
