This would help a TON with the influx of new players. I could never understand why this is off by default.

I'm sure it used to be but it's been that long I cant remember. If it isn't though, it should be. I agree.

 

New players should have to sit through an hour long instructional seminar before they are even allowed to step into a siege match :D

It should happen, but I suppose not anytime soon.

When did this happen?  It was on by default on my account from the beginning.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Please, devs edit this very part of the code that is responsible for the HawkenGame.ini file which is then stored in the

C:\...\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config directory and change line 421 to:

bShowObjectiveList=True

Adapt the files needed and make this a default setting for new installations so that every new players has a clue waht to do in siege games :smile:

I think this is a good idea but doubt it will help much.  I play siege everyday (for a few years now) seems to me, siege is not the mode, for those who believe K/D is important.  (And that's fine)  Siege requires someone to go into the AA.  Sacrifice is required sometimes to soften up the point. That way hopefully your teammates will finish off the rest.  

 

I have noticed that when players are killed during an attack on the AA, they then, shoot the ship.  This doesn't help in the later game due to ships getting stronger every launch.  But it is understandable, that players want to keep their k/d, for whatever their reasons.  I would suggest that siege is not the mode for them.

 

Other things like, when to launch the ship, just comes with experience and the objectives don't cover that.  

 

Also the game tells you what to do in game.  Collect EU , lock down AA etc.

 

As the player base (hopefully) grows, players should be able to find a mode, that meets their "fun level" and avoid modes, they don't want to contribute too.  

 

I would suggest that if K/D is your thing Death Match or 1v1 should be your focus.  If you come into a siege mode, and don't play the objective,  you're not helping the team and making other players not enjoy the game.   

 

For example I don't play death match or team death match just not my thing.  I  would ruin my teams experience and cost them the game with my over aggressive play style...and I am still not very good at this game.  Been playing for years and just recently have been able to get hits with the tow lol Cheers
