405 hrs played.  Yesterday I got my final mech (tech)to rank 6.  I had a couple of goals in game, that was the main one.  The only ones left are

 

  • Get every mech to a positive kdr. 

Tried it with Grenadier, failed.  Still off by a hundred or so kills.

Tried it with predator, always felt I was cheating my team as I just don't do enough damage.

Achieved and surpassed it with incinerator.  I used to hate that mech and still use bby and manage to overheat it regularly but after getting the 500 kills with the g2 raider I guess it made playing incin feel like a walk in the park.

Achieved it on raider after someone mentioned trying it with eoc.  That mech's still a blast but it's frustrating when you know any a class is gonna have you for lunch if they see you.

 

 

  • Get the 8 ball award for 1000 kills scoped in. 

I could probably do this but , currently at 340 kills but I don't like scope play much. 

 

  • Get every mech to 500 kills. 

 

Two left to go.  Tech can be fun/challenging but I hate sharpshooter.

 

  • Get every mech to 1000 kills.

 

Got a decent amount there or close.  Since I like changing it up this would probably happen anyway eventually

 

  • Increase my mmr. 

 

I don't know if this is even possible without teaming up with better players and I feel this games biggest weakness is letting people group against non grouped people.   I think after 400 hours your ability to improve on aim is likely a matter of genetic composition rather than practice.   I popped in that tdm yesterday and I don't even want to talk about it.

 

  • Get a mega kill?

There's a badge for getting a 6 person multi kill, I still never pulled a quinta yet I don't think.

 

 

 

So what do you all do when you get bored of the game?  I think probably the most likely answer is go play another game.

you could always get secondary mechs, to try different loadouts, experiment with different play styles, like battle tech and cqc bruiser. i try and break my bad habits, remember to air burst tows around corners, look at radar more ect.

Try Pred again, grab breacher and use it like an assault (you'll need more cover though). Stay with your team, use your ability to have a perfect awareness and detect sneakies/flankers. Don't push or flank too much, it's not what the pred is the most effective at (with breacher).

Join a TPG team. Aim is important, sure, but I have terrible aim and i'm holding steady at 2200.

1) What do you enjoy playing most?

 

2) What do you consider your best mech performance-wise?

 

3) Do you want to play competitively? I suggest joining Trentik Defense Militia, I can put in a good word for you. TDM is the team you want to gun for if you want to get your foot in the door, so to speak.

 

4) Do you have a mic? Some of the most fun I have had is joining in on community events on TeamSpeak. You get to know people you generally wouldn't.

Enjoy doing it some more, I suppose. You could always start your own TPG team and learn the joy of managing people and getting them to do stuff.

  • EOC raider.
  • Challenge the highest rated player you can find to a duel.
  • Play with a naked mech.
  • Play the least played mech on your profile (duplicates don't count) until it isn't the least played mech.

  • Naked EOC Raider.

  • Get one of each mech to max level.

  • Play in a region you don't normally play in.

Augmentia, I'd be interested in giving it a try.  The league play that is.  Used plenty of ts/mumble programs. 

 

If you just look at kdr my berserker is the highest and I do enjoy playing it but it always feels like I'm cheating a little.  Ironically I don't really care for the scout and at some point I also had to dig him out of negative kdr.

 

Shoutaxe, I'll give the pred another try.  The problem I have with the breacher is I I've got my secondary programmed from my game pad so I don't move the mouse while aiming.  It helps me keep steady.  When clicking for a precise shot it tends to move the mouse so I may have to re-key my game pad for a primary shot to hit more of those.  I love the breacher when it hits

There's a reason for this.

Except the naked points, I have done everything else.

Its 100% worth the effort. No one ever seems to have this achievement unlocked. :D Though it did take me quite a while. And it kind of happened by accident. And I have definitely became a lot more rusty with SS since the point when I finally for the 8-ball award.

Can confirm, will improve your accuracy. You'll hate it, good lord you'll hate it, but your accuracy will improve.

 

Eventually.

  • Play with a naked mech.

 

This is one I was going to suggest. I while ago I started building mechs that don't have any equipment, mainly for when I get dropped into matches with new players, and it turned out to be a lot of fun and educational. It actually taught me to be very economical with my dodges and stay out of the air.

 

Another one I'd suggest is to set yourself goals for a match or game session, like no dodging, no repairing, or only taking out the players at the top of the scoreboard in the match. Even "play with the HUD turned off" can be fun. Stuff like that has kept Hawken really interesting and fun for me, and introduces fresh challenges.

 Togglevisor! Probably the hardest handicap available short of unbinding some keys for dodge and fire and whatnot.
