So I've started playing Hawken, have about Four hours into the game, and while I am enjoying myself, there are a few things that I've been noticing that are, while not deal breaking in their own right, quite aggravating.
First off there is being constantly slotted into one sided teams when one player drops. I get that you have to replace a jerk who dropped from the match or when someone when a bad internet connection times out... however, I will say, as a New Player I need those daily first wins... I just do, I have two Mechs, the starter and a Reaper, and I can't play anything else because I need to level up the mechs I actually have before I even touch the rotation, so when I constantly get slotted into matches where the team I'm on is less than half, or one fourth of the other team's score, it's rather disheartening, and because I'm not a jerk I can't just drop from the match even if it is hopeless. I'm not saying give me free wins for the game moneyz, I'm saying I would like an option to start at the beginning of a match to make it more fair.
Secondly, Unlocking weapons that you then have to purchase. So I ranked up my reaper and it said I had a new weapon available, I was needing a little weapon variation so I went to equip it, only to find out that the weapon would take more in game cash than I even had on me at the moment. So I just can't get it until I get several more Mechs, and because I'm saving up for Scout (Which is a more expensive one), those take priority over a single weapon for one Mech, so I'm stuck with no weapon variation until far in the future.
I have to admit that I am limiting myself slightly, after all, there is a rotation, I could take one of those, but I'm the sort that just needs at least a limited permanency. I like leveling up my Mech through battles and attaching stuff to them to help in fights. It's just, at the rate I'm going, its going to take a very long time to unlock enough equipment and Mechs to where I can actually pick what variety I want for the current battlefield situation.
