I can't enter a game without encountering players who straight up hate everyone. The game is almost unplayable as it is at my mmr and ping. When you throw numbskulls into the mix who don't care to play and are only there to troll, it totally ruins what little experience is left. I would really really appreciate some formal policy surrounding in game interactions. Repeat offenders need to be banned. It's time Reloaded. This isn't hard. You already can ban people. You already read support tickets. Make a policy. Help us rid the toxic players from the game. Thank you.

There will always be banters, but are you sure they are actually hating on one another?

 

Citation needed.

 

And what are your MMR and ping? I'm parking on mid 1700s with 200-250ms and I seldom encounter said hostilities.

It is sad that there will always be people out there who seem to think they are better than everyone, or simply think they should be.

I understand that there are people who love to talk $hit. I respect that. I do it all the time in the name of good fun. There's a difference between that and toxicity.

I honestly see more toxicity on the forums than in game. As much as I admired this game's forum community because of us being so positive back when Hawken was on it's death bed, I can say that the people I've been meeting in game are less mean to some of the things I've seen on here.

We have a mute function and a profanity filter. These are sufficiant. We don't need self appointed herken police getting butt triggered and flooding Josh and Tiggs with report tickets cuz they can't handle the bantz. They have enough to deal with as it is. If everyone who ever said some nasty chit got banned we wouldn't even have enough pilots left for a full match.

Most, if not all new players don't know that the mute button mutes chat, and a profanity filter can't filter toxic chat, only words or maybe phrases. I've seen several players saying really pretty things. It's not a large number, which is good, and often I'll see players band together to counter the toxic player's ramblings (which I find amusing lol), but when chats are especially directed toward new players, if it's numbers we're concerned about we shouldn't be letting the very few toxic players ruin the game for the vast majority. Yes, it's the internet, and yes, people need to grow some thick skin, especially in an online FPS, but Hawken's community has been, thus far, a breath of fresh air compared to other FPS I've played and it'd be nice to see it stay that way. Personally, I could care less if someone wants to be toxic, but I'd rather not see players leave the game because of it.

There's a mute button. Or perhaps just don't look at the chat? 

 

I've never really understood how someone can be legitimately bothered and have their experience ruined because someone they don't know said something "mean" or "toxic".


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

Just focus fire the people who are being toxic and make a little game out of it and try to see how pissed off you can make them before they rage quit.

I had to 20-0 Klown till his rage couldn't take it anymore and alt-f4ed. Fun stuff.

Oh pissing people off is far easier than you think. Being cocky even when I'm doing terrible and especially when I'm doing terrible is my favorite. I have had my opponents rage at my own stupidity and incompetence to their own benefit. It's like the best thing ever besides playing keep away with the speed freak bots in Co-op while being overly hyper at that time.

I haven't seen enough toxicity myself to be at all notable, so this post confuses me. Perhaps the times of day I play are exceptionally mellow, or perhaps my instinctive point-and-laugh response to vitriol confounds my experience.

This guy ? I remember seeing pretty long time ago, He wasn't 'toxic' or offensive imo, just constantly talking stuff like this to almost everyone in the match:

I don't mind badmouthed people here and there as long as it's not over-the-top insulting.

Some whining crybaby actually got Rob_Graves banned, he had to make a smurf account. I guess this person thought he was hacking because of his Predator skills.

Firstly, System, give us a warning or put this massive multi-coloured letters inside a spoiler tag.

 

And secondly - I can absolutely wreck Rob in my Predator and I still haven't been accused of hacking yet.

 

And thirdly - Rob only swears a lot, rather than actually being toxic. Or...he may be toxic but I just ignore his words. I also greet him like this "Oh *beep*, it's Rob".

Well, this person that got him banned was probably somebody that just easily gets pissed off, or can't tell the difference between hacks and skillsI've been hacused when I was testing an Infiltrator, and I wasn't even doing that good, yet somebody still hacused me.

I don't know who got him banned, but I'm sure it can be sorted out by simply sending out the devs a support ticket if he truly wasn't hacking.

 

But nonetheless, I can still wreck him in my Predator. x)

AK is fun tbh and it's hard for me to dislike him too much. At least he can take a joke at his expense and seems to be messing around 90% of the time instead of genuinely hating on people or ruining games by feeding. I've seen him be a toxic idiot before too, but usually he seems to just alternate between excessive amounts of bragging and self-deprecation. 

 

rob/robyn_graves is way more annoying than AK and is one of the few players I enjoy fuzzy bunnyng with and killing repeatedly.

There are some people that definitely cross the line between trash talk and posting severe abusive language, racial and physical threats in the game chat towards other players. That is unacceptable and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

 

Take a screenshot if you feel a player has gone way too far and submit a support ticket. The devs will appreciate it and they will deal with it.

You've faced off against Rob multiple times? Strange, he's not that high of MMR player - similar to my range - so I didn't really expect the two of you to face off too often, unless you were on a smurf? Anyways, I feel a bit obliged to stick up for Rob as a slight friend in this regard, because my experiences with him - which is many (see him almost everyday actually) - is a case which seems less severe to what you say. Although I do have a way of ignoring insults, plus I don't think Rob 100% means it as he has told me to "fuzzy off" on multiple occasions, yet I'm able to talk to him without either of us hating each other.

 

But I'm not saying that you don't have a just reason for wanting to kill him repeatedly, I'm just saying that I haven't seen it.

What little "toxicity" I've seen in HAWKEN pales in comparison to the dumbfookery I run into on TF2. EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH.
Or literally any other FPS, for that matter.

What often works for me is sort of trolling those kinds of people by just saying really weird, off-the-wall fuzzy bunny to them. Not offensive or aggressive, just... Weird. I'd say 75% of the time they eventually get so weirded out or confused that they a) stop talking, or b) inexplicably drop their douchemongering internet persona and start to get along with me. Assuming I don't just ignore them completely and enjoy my beer.
