i liek new cosmetics and some other thisng, it is great. But the one thing which i really laugn it is new KLA+EOC mech. i mean... new. new?
wata hex!? it is just a raider-clone xD
i mean, if you (devs) unlock 3 weapons on consoles, did this mech will not be a little looking the same? yeah i know he got new ability and stats, but it is a little confusing me. still can't understand why not just put Heat+TOW or Heat+GL on B-class... :/
or even add some choices like EOK+TOW as a first, Heat+TOW as a alternative, and someone else+TOW as elite. I actually want to have EOK+TOW mech, because we always see EOK with HF, of another EOK, of GL... EOK+TOW combo need some love. maybe on some sort of C-Class (cuz eok rockee is sheet)
also. devs, how about "double barrel shotgun"? (every cool game should have a DB Shotgun xD)
i mean, easy weapon for easy to use. Higher spread, higher damage from point blank (120-140).
as a feature, can be implemented 2 mode as a T32.
for example.
- 1 mode. higher spread (higher than flak)
- 2 mode (holding lmb 2 sec), making shrapnel spread narrow, the same as Reflak35.
so you can choice shooting faster in cqc, or spent some time and prepare one devastative and accurate attack.
or even don't have any modes and be an "alternative flak" weapon
i mean, just right now, since many updates we got a lot of mech which is literally hard to use, required time to teach something, remember something, and have many buttons to hold or clicking constantly. and only several "simple mechs" which have "easy" gameplay (and mostly people play on these mechs, as i can notice in random) like salt or bers. it is fun to play on predator, but i'm personally don't love play on it. constantly holding breacher make me tired very fast.
at the same time i never tired on brawler, cuz i play on it like a "robot". don't mind about nothing and only use my skill. you just working as computer, boost, jump, flak, dodge, tow, flak, dodge, jump...etc. it is relaxing. you just play.
i think we need some more easy mech like this in every A-, B- and C-class. More shotguns never make game worse. Cuz shotguns easy to play, and making some really good things with your enemies. :D
It also can be good have some sort of alpha-strike weapons (maybe/probably not hit-scan) where you no need holding LMB every time. just one button masher weapon. you click LMB, enemy get damage, player get happy.

I don't think you have a very strong grasp on what is actually happening behind the scenes, mainly because you don't work on hawken development. maybe post content based on what you know to be true, and if you speculate, be clear enough to convey the fact that you're speculating. also, if you're joking, it seems as though it sometimes doesn't come off very clear that you are. I dunno, man. I dunno.

BACK TO THE THREAD'S TOPIC:
I really like the look of the jobs chassis. I don't think I've seen it before. I also like the idea of a stunlock ability for those pesky scouts that just don't know to stand still while I shoot them in the mechface.

It is very easy to grasp this concept. Simply complain about everything until PC is updated. And then complain about the PC update...

The game already has random gravity well on some of the maps, so it wouldn't be completely foreign to have a gravity item or ability.

At this point I'm all aboard with your speed debuff idea, if it's that vs. a total stunlock ability. ![]()
An ability that deployed an AoE grav field thing could be OK IMO. Make sure it has a longish cooldown. That way you can't just willynilly stun and auto-win against every scout you can't hit, cos you and your own team will also be affected by the AoE as well. Plus, a stationary gravity well AoE thing makes slightly more sense (to me) than zapping an individual with magical relativity bullets that don't effect anything else around them.
No speed-reducing weapons or spammable speedtrap items, pls, ty.

Speaking of the PN... I was playing the other day and saw some one had a GREY one... WTF i want it...
maybe it was a bug/glitch, but yeah their PN was def grey rather than red/orange

I did really like the old Alpha UI and although the current one took a bit to get used to, I did feel that it worked. For some reason though the colour of green used with those buttons just look.... cheap?... sad?.... just the wrong tone i guess, cant put my finger on why though.

There was legitimate power creep with the old tech tree. A higher level mech would have statistical advantages over a lower level mech, albeit a very small advantage, but an advantage nonetheless. Particularly how that tree worked out, offense was generally always useless, and the way to go was mostly movement and a few points in defense. This was across all mechs.
Just like any tech tree, people minmax it and find out the general optimal build, particularly when the tech tree was uniform across all mechs. The current internal system tries to alleviate this by providing sidegrade options to create the potential for a more customized mech across all skill levels. You may not have as many clicky things to click on to "feel good" but the old tech tree wasn't balanced and it wasn't meaningful at all.
The cool factor can only take a game so far before people start noticing the glaring issues they didn't notice before.
