So a "great silence" entails a little less than 2 months of no update?

 

ok

No but it feels like the way the last great silence started.  I remember when the (post reloaded) updates, graphs, performance statistics etc. were being pumped out every fortnight.  Then we got some competitions to gain extra things (like the badges etc), then the shirts, then the coins, then the "big year" ahead and then.....well......

No the last great silence began with a reflective post from Hughes and a "worth the wait" GIF from defter, after which we had no solid details ever and no confirmation that Hawken is being actively worked on.

We get updated with concrete details on how the game is being worked on in February, support tickets are actively being taken care of, we know there is a dev team of at least 15 working on the game right now. And this, what I just wrote, is apparently the second coming of the great silence. Oh and it was just the weekend, days in which these people probably don't work.

I don't mean to offend, but really, this is hardly the second great silence and it's posts like these that constitute useless shitposting, IMO.

No offense taken, it's an open forum for people to discuss and share views.  Okay I will rescind the "Great Silence v2" as you make a fair point, and yes adding fuel to an already overflowing barrel is kinda pointless.  Still irksome nonetheless, and the picture stands.  Yes it's the holiday season (so no-one would be working over the last 4 days).  Yes there is a dev team, which we were going to be introduced to.  Yes support tickets are answered and general day to day items , issues, problems are being handled by Tiggs.  Yes we have confirmation that things are being worked on.  I guess where the disappointment comes (me and like some others on the forums) is the energy it had but then almost vanished overnight.  Yes I hope for more and at least a hello every so often and we are busy with stuff so we can't post.  It's the simple things on communication, no matter how slight, with what's left of the community.

Silence is inherently part of music


.

The difference between theory and practice is smaller in theory than it is in practice.

I count the energy utilized in gathering data and surveys and statistics and fuzzy bunny as redirected to something more useful like working on the game.

I think it is more along the lines of a year has passed and no patch or patch projection has been given. I walked away again in January due to the rampant hacking that I encountered(the hacker was even gloating about it). Has it been over two years since the last patch?

 

Until there is actual evidence of work in the form of a rough time line, patch, or possible concept art release many will remain skeptical about Hawken's revival.

That's fine.  You don't have to come back until something concrete is produced content wise.  You're not obligated to spend time on the game if you don't see value in it right now.

 

But to say that this is another great silence is just wrong because "The Great Silence" was defined by the general lack of knowledge around the future of the game.  The lack of knowledge of the game's development, just the sheer not-knowing-anything-for-like-a-year versus a dev update in February with a rough idea of what precisely the current devs are doing and their plans going forward.  So we know what's sort-of going on.  We lack clarity on a few subjects, but we have something, versus pre-Reloaded when the game was truly in limbo.  The game is no longer in that state, thus not Great Silence.  Because we literally heard a voice a month or so ago.

There is a month between January and March.  Was there anything in February that I missed?

Interesting...........

I'm sorry for the false hopes but I assure you that when we're allowed to provide you with more information on what we're working on we will

 

https://community.pl...server-rentals/

 

 


We all know you are wanting information on what is going on. All I can say right now is the Hawken team is small, approximately 15 people (that's full and part time included). Everyone is hard at work and once we're able to disclose what is being worked on you'll hear from Josh. 

 

So we can confirm that there are about 15 people in the team of Hawken.  The wording about "disclosure" etc. is very reminiscent of the Adhesive days before we found out that Reloaded had acquired the game.  However the note about "hard at work" gives some hope.  Feels are like.......

Lol, more like "meh". Maybe the Reloaded team is simply unaware of any parallels between what adh did and what they're doing..

Considering their external communication skills, I have to wonder about their internal. Josh and Tiggs are pretty well up on Herken Histry, but was that communicated?

Maybe they're all sitting around scratching their heads in the break room like "I dont know man. Half the community is crying for a patch.. but what patch? What should we patch? The other half of the community is saying everything is fine. What should we patch so we make one side happy and not pissing off the others?" 

 

I still say they should release a patch that does nothing. People will spend months looking for easter eggs.
