I would think that a year of not playing Hawken would dull my skills... guess not...

 

Bear in mind, I was playing in the Prosk map, a close quarters map.

How about you post a picture with eh server SRD next time...

 

rather than posting a brag pic about how you stomped some noobs...

 

js, if you gonna boast, at least make it worth it dude... atm it we have no idea what their mmr was...

 

going by the fact there is 4 standard portrait pics and a couple of lvl 10-15s....

 

im assuming it wasnt that high

 and not is not even mentioning your teams comp...

 

i mean 2 cockateers and 2 reapers...

Cheese

I believe this image holds some relevance here.

This is what happens when even a decent-ish player with a top 10-15 G2 Raider gets into a match with a ~1350 average.

I still haven't heard definitely about my expat, but I'm heavily involved with HR and KPMG in discussion about it; I probably won't be in the right region to participate.

 

What clear signal do you need from Josh that you can have a Season IV?   Maybe he/Reloaded will help support that?  I think he's very interested in Hawken as tourney-sport (which is why he's leaving the lights on for us, I speculate).

The initial idea was wait for a content patch to bring back some players. That being said, if enough teams and players show interest a TPG season can be arranged. You nerd.

 

 

[hawken as an esports rant]

For me personally, if I could ask Josh for one feature in Hawken that I think would take TPG and competitive play to the next level. In terms of watchability, excitement, spectatorship, team tactics, and ability to show off the game. It would be a nice spectator/replay system. 

 

All you have to do is go to the TPG Hawken youtube page or any TPG player who streamed on twitch to recognize how much of a no brainer a nice spectator/replay system is. For a small subset of players who generally are powered by raw skill and game time, not large amounts of team practice, TPG players pull off some crazy fuzzy bunny plays. I think a replay and/or a spectator system would allow for teams to more easily and efficiently practice strategies and tactics. Thus raising the quality of play overall.  It would also make the game a lot more exciting to watch from a third person perspective. If done right.

 

 Successfully growing third person game viewership, especially for tournaments, relies on two core elements that must be present in the game. Those are a watchable spectator mode, and private/custom matches. Hawken has half the equation. Only then can you really have a hope of pushing it to the masses effectively.

It's still a precaution, besides if I didn't blank them out it would still be considered name-calling. I'd rather be on the safe side.

Dumb question, what does PSR refer to?

 

Also, what do I type into Scrimbot ( chat ) to show the useful server stats like MMR rankings ( average/high & low etc )?

 

I only ever use it to check my own MMR, don't know a list of commands...

PSR is PoopSlinger Rating. The number is random and the thing is a joke. You can use "srd" to check the mmr average of your current server. You can use "help" or "commands" (not sure which) to see them all.

Sure seems like a joke to me... Just gotta find that quote where someone said it was.

 

It is calculated with an extremely advanced algorithm known as the "poopslinger ultraprecise skillz predictive equation" that takes into account everything that MMR does plus a ton of other parameters including holotaunt ubiquity, yolodive efficacy, killyness, and raiderosity to name just a few.

 

It's is rather complex, and the entire calculus requires about a double sided page of 8 point single point font to write out in it's entirety. 

There's another one too.

putting long range mechs in the game was a bad mistake for the original devs. Faster mechs like the scout have a bad hit registry on most servers, at least the noobs can hit a brawler. The population would have been really different if hawken had more raider-like mechs.

Heretical.  I can see the argument, but anti-recidivistatarianism would have you believe this is the best of all possible Hawkens, and the decisions that got us here were the best of all possible decisions

This is probably true.  I don't know about 'better' but 'different'.

I beg to differ and totally disagree.

It is great to have close quaters, medium range and long range + support/specialist mechs.

The problem is to use your team setup accordingly to the enemy setup and the current situation on the map - many people do not realize this at first hawken exposure, because it might not be that intuitive and spam LR+specialist mechs (predator i.e.).

 

My point is as follows. Staging and situational awarness + some map experience is crucial here and makes hawken a 6v6 game, not 1+1+1+1+1+1 v 1+1+1+1+1+1. It requires some cooperation and communication and one rouge reaper/ss base sniper can ruin the balance and experience for everybody, especially in SG mode.

 

Of course meeting a rocketeer close range with a raider, miniflak vanguard or infiltator does not mean you can skip the skill factor, but yet it gives you the opportuinity to exploit enemy weakness and improves your chances of winning the fight. On the other hand storming AA that has entrenched enemy C class supported with a tech with full A class team or LR mechs frontal assault is generally not a good idea unless the team can coordinate and flank simuntalously and use attrition waves/pincer manouvers on the most dangerous enemy.

 

As far as the screenshot is concerned the enemy team staging seems not to have taken advantage of Sausage's team LR staging, tried to counter rocketeers with bruisers and assault (med range vs long range). A berserker or a infiltrator harassment just cries out to be enforced :)

 

The counters might not work as obviously as in Overwatch and are more of a soft type. This is what got me hooked and that is what I really like about this game.

 

Wow, that is a long post. Am I taking it too seriously? :)

Aimbotters have taken advantage of SS classes in the past and the devs have done little to nothing about it. I'd say it was a mistake because no action has been taken.
