Honestly, I'm actually glad to see they are trying something new and not just releasing the same game with more mechs.  They had to do something to motivate players to keep playing, and i guess they see this "mech tree" as an improvement over what exists in the PC version.  I'm actually excited to see more about it.

 

It just sucks that the future of the PC version depends on the success of this completely untested concept.

But... didn't Hawken have a sort of "Mech Tree" back in early closed beta?  I remember that I couldn't get certain mechs without first playing through a different mech, or spending real money.

 

I haven't seen anything more or less than any of us, but that is a frightening notion... because it was one of the biggest causes of the P2W® perception.

There was a mech tree when i started.  It used to give you free mechs.  It was actually really nice to get free robots.  Made it way less of a grind.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

If it is what poop said it will be OK. We already have "unlockable" alternate weapons and "unlockable" G2, so if the "mech tree" works more or less the same I'm open to it.

Proper dodge+shooting combo, tow deto, I would say it's much useful than the last one.

That may be, wouldn't exactly call it advanced maneuvers though. I got a chuckle out of it anyway

Consider a mech as a car, I would say dodging itself is an advanced maneuver already.

There was a sort of talent tree as well back in open beta days that had three tiers and resembled what the borderlands series has going on. Almost all those changes were negligible but some were really nice. I remember buffing the boost speed of my brawler by the tiniest amount (I put as many points into this as I could) and then I buffed it's hp.

 

Although this was back when everything was a bit slower and health for every mech was about 60~% higher than it is now.

And when internals didn't really do much, and when you could stick shields to allies and essentially make somebody able to solo roll a team with 5 shields. Oh those were the days

Maybe "mech trees" means the equivalent of "weapon progression". 3 different primaries for the same mech now = 1 primary each three mechs, and once you master one you get the next "mech". Suddenly 30 is easy.

I wonder if they're going to go further than just the current 5 rank system. It would be interesting if these weird weapon combinations they're supposedly implementing were the result of a tree of evolution, that included both the current selection of weapons as well as many more thereafter. You would start with the CRT then rank up towards a specialization you desire, new specializations (mechs) becoming available as you approach them. Of course this would mean the need for upgradeable stats or features. This would sort of explain a Vanguard with the B3AR, since it might branch towards the incinerator....maybe. G2 mechs would then be unlocked with redundancy.

 

Edit: It would be very cool, if certain "hidden" mechs (specifically the G2s) became available through achievements or by accomplishing a task. I say the G2's since, of the lore I've read of them, they seem to be the result of special conditions.

I would honestly be 100% OK with something like this, as long as:
1. it wasn't implemented as a p2w scheme,
2. and as long as the CURRENT weapon combos are still available in some form.

GL on the 1st condition tho. :rolleyes:
We shall see.
