What is the point of letting few people (if the goal is to ENLAAARGE the playerbase) own 2 primaries that new players will never ever be able to unlock?

The cosmetics torso swap must stay though, just to say : "oh yeah that's a veteran that spent money into thisgame"

from what Tiggs said in the Q/A they won't touch the ability to switch primary weapons and other torsos you bought on mechs you already own.

I really hope the community will remain to have as little influence as they had in the past, otherwise this might be limited to certain type of matches etc etc.

i suppose, it is just will be a different mech in you hangar. like Brawler and Old-Brawler. i mean, it is a different mechs, not like Brawler and Brawler.

We should rather practice with new mechs loadouts (save for scanner).

 

G2A, HEAT scout, revGL gren (+no airdet), EOC infi', etc...

Yeah, gotta be prepared or the noobs will mob up the floor with us using these alone.

AR is statistically better, I'm weird and like SMC. SMC sounds better and looks better imo, and for whatever reason I tend to do better with it. 

Smc has broken hitreg IMO, it works really well against higher ping sand not good if you HAVE a higher ping... ^_^ maybe thats why so many people use SMC,

 

i dunno though lol ;)

Imagine a regular boring match.. your team starts loosing.. and you bring out of nowhere a flak scout with some weird chassis and start cuttin em down! A mech others have never seen before. It's like an alien landing or smtn.. unprecedented! 

We should make like a secret order with hoods and candles in darkened rooms and keep those mechs as a secret and use those mechs only on rare occasions.tsss

You seem to forget our beloved trolls who lurk in EU servers and who will use and abuse of flak scouts against brand new noobs.

I personally see a fat zerker falling from the top of a building in prosk, landing on the poor scout and its restrained chassis, it then halo teabag taunts and turns to face the kill cam but WAIT!!! that vulcanador has the body of a brawler and the shoulder plates of a g2 raider, the feet of a rockateer and the thighs of an icin...

 

i see the face of WTF was that.....

OP said nothing about purchasing anything. Re-read it slowly this time.

 

My problem was that your post was inherently negative while also having nothing to do with the OP's post. 

 

My post is negative because there is nothing positive to say about the way RLD is handling the PC version.

 

Furthermore, no one can give OP solid advice on what to do because no one knows what to do. Grinding for HC, or spending cash on MC could be a mistake and / or a waste of time if some day in the future RLD changes their mind with the way the PC version is balanced. Perhaps the PC version never takes off and OP just wasted his time and money. Anything can happen, did anyone expect the PC version of Hawken to be playing second fiddle to a bunch of console versions? lol Exactly, use caution folks.

 

The only sensible advice for OP is, if he is enjoying the game to keep playing and to unlock things naturally via progression. I wouldn't go wild grinding, or spending MC because there is too much uncertainty with what can happen next (PC version). I'm of the opinion the PC version is not the lead platform for a reason, and the PC community should accept that and not recommend that people should be buying all the content for some future proofing pipe dream.

Just to clarify, I have all mechs unlocked now except G2 Raider.  I have about 90K HC on hand, and virtually no MC.  I am level 30 so I have access to all Items and Internals, although I have only equipped about 5 of these mechs.  I have at least half of these mechs at rank 5 or higher, so I could try out the various weapons.  I did this through transferring XP, which costs MUCH less than buying the weapons outright (FYI to anyone curious about this).

 

I am at max Transferrable XP right now (200K) due to using the Pred almost exclusively.  So if I did unlock all the weapons on these remaining mechs it would be by purchasing MC and transferring XP over.

 

Thanks again for all the advice.

Def get yourself that G2 Raider before the update.

I am really curious to see how they handle "grandfathered" mechs.  I think it would be ok if the same primary options exist in some form in the new version, even if each primary exists on a separate mech.  Like G1 Scout has HEAT, G2 Scout has FLAK, etc...  Could be how they got to 30 mechs.

 

If certain combos only exist for a small portion of the player-base it will be bad.

It sure sounds to me like that is exactly what they're going to do to get 30 mechs.  We have 15 mechs in the game now.  If you give each a G2...


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Adds up to more than 30 right?  Especially with the double seeker mech and the double miniflak mech.  We could end up with G1, G2, G3 and then the grandfathered mechs would be OG.

Exactly.  They are saying, "30 mechs to start... with more coming soon."  They've gotta save some new content for a 45 day update after release to keep the impression that things are moving along while they work on the PC parity.

Okay, THAT gives a bit more context to what you were implying. I agree, you shouldn't go wildly grinding for HC or buying things with MC. I was completely under the impression that you were plain telling the OP to stop playing because it's all pointless now.

 

Forgive me as your post I responded to first came off as very "holier art than thou." Giving somebody an ultimatum that has to do with their intelligence in respect to their decision really gets to me. It's all about opinions and my fat ego for some reason does not like it when I encounter others who come off as having a big ego or being "know-it-ally."
