Has anyone found the cosmetic item currently on a limited-time for HC?

 

Is it the cockpit TOW rocket on for 8,000 HC (108 MC)? If so, I'm pretty sad.

 

Edit: Yeah, I'm 99% sure it's the TOW.

Yup its the TOW, I honestly never would've looked at the cockpit items if my friend didn't tell me where it was.

 

Its nice that it can be applied to all your mechs once you buy it though, as well as the HC gain being increased and the double HC+XP weekend

Is that the one that looks like a vibrator with fins?

 

Someone posted a night of the fred vid with pink cockpit and that cosmetic was the first thing that struck me and my impression of it.

 

Actually I might get it just for that reason :P

When am I going to get spinning rims available for my mech?

 

I put the dildonic missile in my cockpit anyway  :tongue:

The Hawken forum's a forum, but it's like the only one you get yelled at for using.

8k HC is a bit expensive but I bought it anyways

Everybody needs a rocket-propelled dildo in their cockpit IMO.

What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.

I was thinking the same things when I saw his post lol. I encourage F2P game models like Hawken where some aesthetics are only bought with real money. It's much better than the alternative where in-game power can only be bought with real money.

 

The devs/publishers have to make money somehow.

Definitely.

 

Some people must think devs do this for charity.

 

I think that the cosmetics, etc should only be from cash. If you want to teabag your opponents burning wreckage in a pink checkered mech, prepare to pay.

It could be to check the viability of a money sink system for older players in which normally MC-only items are briefly offered for large amounts of HC. That'd be way easier for the devs to do with their current resources than actually create new ridiculously-priced HC-only cosmetics.

Veteran players with hundreds of thousands of HC need SOMETHING to dump it on.

 

Thanks for the pseudo-freebie, Reloaded! :D

I do consider myself a veteran but I ran out of HC a long time ago, roughly 2 hours when I purchased this new cosmetic

I looked and looked at every single item and found nothing that was INSTEAD of. The tow is HC OR MC. :P


"Nov8tr" is pronounced "INNOVATOR"

Really should have made it a paint job or something, even a solid color

Yes. A super elite 500k chrome camo should now be the TOP priority.

This has been my reason for avoiding them, but I purchased it anyway and found it doesn't block more than a few pixels on the C mechs.
