My thoughts are a matter of public record, bearing a great many likes and in a thread that saw some carpentry being done.
That's awesome!

Yeah but competing with Hawken is like deciding you're gonna beat the neighbourhood kids at tetherball. I mean, good for you if you do I guess, but there are probably better things to do as a grown-ass man.
Set sights higher's what 'm sayin'
That seemed like a very personal statement to me friend. As if playing this game were the equivalent of DnD weekend LARPing. First of all I want to tell you you don't know anything about me other than what I have put out onto the internet. I actually do, and have done a lot of things as a "Grown ass man" as you so eloquently put it, as I'm sure you are a proper gentlemen. The point of my sentence was to address the topic of competition....regarding the topic of competition in general, I'll leave that lesson until you are old enough to graduate Highschool..

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

Reading comprehension is not strong with this one.
Finally installed Hawken again, and...wow....completely dead servers!!! I don't remember it being this dead in 2014.

LOL. Man I'm bad at this game. I kept thinking I would just get into Hawken (after 2 years) without needing to re-learn muscle memory but man, I'm getting ripped by AI now. It's been over 3 years since I had that happen.

It was a pointed statement and I find that to be off putting. Nobody makes money playing Hawken, if that's what you mean about competing PvP in this game being lame. It doesn't matter. It's not always what you are doing now but what could be possible next. Players and devs... I'm sorry I hear it too often, competing in this game is laughable. I disagree, a lot of good players come through here from all kinds of other games. I'm into FPS so I play anything in that genre, mediocre or not.
he's referring to developers/games that might compete with hawken

Hawken has had competition since Alpha announcement. It's nothing new, however there are a large number of amazing looking games coming out. Overwatch and I'm sure a few other games like Titanfall to name a few, have already drawn many folks away for long periods of time if not for good. I stepped out of Hawken to focus on other things for a while. Hoping that an update would have been ready to go, nope. :-( I imagine a lot of people feel the same way, what with many other F2p games that offer regular content updates (with respect to the size, experience, and funding of the dev team).
I'm with 06 on this one. Ami acts like a fuzzy bunny more than he doesn't. It shouldn't be surprising that someone took offense to him running his mouth. I feel the only way this can be resolved is with a good old fashioned tickle fight.
It is surprising that you don't get that Amid isn't running his mouth insulting anyone.

Do I really have to spell it out?
Amid's analogy with neighborhood kid tetherball was meant to show that taking on Hawken as a game head on isn't necessarily a hard or challenging task, and that there are bigger games to target as legitimate competition. You have taken his comments both in as a direct insult, and as players playing the game competitively.
I mean if you really want to be technical and ultra specific about it, yes, every game is "competing with Hawken" on the most basic level in regards of people actually paying attention to it, but that's obvious. Watching sports, working out, eating food, they're all competition for Hawken by that logic.

The biggest change is that we went from being a good community with community events and friendliness, to a bunch of whiny asshats.

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.
OK, I'll be bold enough to respond. After being out of the game for months I logged in again last night for other reasons (see other thread). Wow, I have never muted so many people so fast in all my Hawken time! The FIRST match I get into allegedly has a hacker in it (I suspect smurf instead), so all the hate and whining is spewing back and forth. People dropping augmented f-bombs to get around the profanity filter. I could barely stomach it, but muting the majority of both teams did help. But the 2nd match was not much better. And then I left.
In short, this should not be needed. If this is the state of PC Hawken right now I might have done the right thing in leaving. Last night one of the players said they were brand new, and I was thinking "What a wonderful introduction." :(

When did that happen exactly

You went way beyond "basic" with that one. By your logic and direct statement, even breathing is competition for Hawken...lame. I understand that Hawken is a small fish in a huge lake with proper Sharks*...(larger games* For anyone who lacks the knowledge to read between the lines). Your opening statement about "Do I really have to spell it out" is rude, straight up real talk. Do I have to spell that out?

If you take it as rude then fine, I'm sorry you were offended, but for a large majority of this thread it seemed to be that you lacked understanding of Amid's original post intent, despite more than a few people posting to clarify. I don't see it as being rude, but as being blunt or straightforward. Bluntness is not necessarily intended as rudeness.
Edited by Silverfire, 16 November 2016 - 07:56 PM.
You lost me at, "I'm sorry if you were offended." You went very far out of the ballpark with the rest of it. bluntness? The only bluntness I deal with are the stinky kind son.
I'm also very glad that I FINALLY get to speak to the AMBASSADOR of the "Large majority" of the forums. Can I have your autograph?

It's almost unbelievable how far out of whack this is. I'm not coming back to this thread, this is a waste of time.

Is the sarcasm even necessary? My post was intended sincerely and not out of spite or sarcasm.
You repeatedly ignored efforts by community members to clarify the post Amid made that you very clearly took personal issue with. I lay out in a very straightforward manner in an effort to settle the issue and you not only refuse my apology for any offense you may have taken, but resort to thinly veiled sarcasm as a means of indirectly insulting me. You have taken every post trying to clarify a point as a personal attack on your character and that's where you falter.
And yet I'm the one clearly at fault. Okay.
Edited by Silverfire, 16 November 2016 - 08:13 PM.
Silver, your smug reply isn't helping. We know Ami is your bud. Let's just all say we love playing Hawken and move on.
I'm not posting to defend Amid, he can defend himself just fine. My purpose in posting here was to clarify a post made in jest that was taken the wrong way. And being smug? If you interpret it that way, then okay, but that is far from my true intentions. In lieu of these events...
We love Hawken, let's move on. Xer06six is not interested in defending himself any longer for whatever reason.
