Yup! The devs have been really kind to us so we best make use of the chance!

 

Aussie vets like to play whenever they can get a game, but we're usually on as a group on the weekends 9pm AEST

I got on last night and the Oceania servers were empty until close to 10pm then we got some TDM going.

There were people on in my friends list, so where were people playing until the first Syd server started?

 

I played a coop TDM in Asia for daily points then a TDM, and every match end I jumped out to see if anyone was on in Aus.

 

I think what i'll do next time no one is about will be a daily for Coop and maybe a TDM then park in a Syd DM lobby and wait for the peoples.

 

Edit: If others do this and no one sits in a lobby for a while it may be a case of no one wants to be the first to sit and wait.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

Yea this is what I'd like to do, just park and seed a server but probably counter productive due to fitness range. It's up to you!

Probably won't be able to play much for the next few weeks/months or so, be lucky if I get a chance on weekends. Second semester of school started, parents insisting I use my rig as least as possible  :wallbash:

USW ended up going through a similar thing during the dark ages. What we ended up doing was adding everyone on steam and hitting up all the other USW players whenever we went online. We also said that IF we are online during a given day, we will be online during x hours. I made some of my closest friends in Hawken during this time. When we did manage to fill a server, it was the best matches I have ever had, probably to this day.

Thanks to Dawn of Ash last night for coming online when I asked  and helping to start a DM in Sydney, which then quickly turned into a 3v3 TDM, and then a full TDM.

 

It only takes a couple of pilots hanging in an Oceania server to seed a decent local match.

 

From no one around we ended up with a heap of good Aus players joining us.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

yeah, you'll find it difficult to get rid of me. Life gets busy, but eventually I come back. I <3 Hawken.

 

I really want to get some details on renting a server so I don't have the MMR lock issue.

There aren't any Aus 3 star servers for me to try and MVP and increase my MMR. So I struggle to get into 2 or 1 star matches and then don't do well enough to improve my rating. I can find 3 star matches in Asia, but then 300+ ping makes it impossible to land enough damage to make MVP.

 

I've dropped some MC on a few things so hopefully I can compete a bit better with the more experienced veteran Aus pilots (when I can get in matches with them!)

 

Would love to try some 1v1 scrims in a DM server for training. Need a place for mentoring. I used to do this for my brother, but doing it on public servers is one of the reasons my MMR went down.

MMR isn't everything but the private servers for Oceanic are unlocked and MMR lock doesn't apply, however your MMR will still be affected. Let me or HawkeyeJ know and we can try to configure the servers for you. 

 

You can also join the Hawken Oceanic Steam group and there's a list of people including myself that volunteered for mentoring/training 

http://steamcommunit...s/HAWKENOceania

 

If you do find MMR locking you can always join via matchmaking which is much easier now without getting sent to Asia servers

there has to be an aus server for Matchmaker to put you in...

I gained decent MMR the other night but tonight lost 20-30 as I could only play asia.
shitty 300 ping.

I am in the steam hawkenoceania group.
I went and added everyone in steam who I recognised.

Also a slight issue with region selection - when creating a 6v6 party match, the only options available are Europe and North America. South America, Asia and Oceania are not available as region choices for 6v6 party matches.

MMR isn't everything but the private servers for Oceanic are unlocked and MMR lock doesn't apply,

 

Just for clarification, I don't care what my MMR is per-se, just that it is close enough to other Aus players so that I don't get MMR locked out of games that they clearly want me to join. I don't want to resort to making a fuzzy bunny account so that I can log it in from my PC just to pwn it from my laptop in an attempt to solve a matchmaking issue (that exists due to low population).

 

Would be good to get some veteran players happy to mentor and have them make a fuzzy bunny account, to practice against and improve skills, and hopefully solve the MMR issue at the same time. I'd happily do the same if there were new players that would get any benefit from my intermediate level.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer.

 

PS: Its Friday so you guys better be online tonight (says the person who's not completely sure if he'll be online tonight)

I can't use TS3... because reasons

 

I have a mumble server if anyone cares to try it. Happy to promote regular AU players into Mods.

 

Perhaps it will keep out some of the trolls by keeping it invite/referral only.

 

Can PM details here or through in game chat if you request.

 

Cheers,

Welcome back Aims. Haven't been destroyed by you in ages.

 

Typically 8pm - 11pm are the busier times. People seem to start logging off after 11pm-ish

 

I wanted to play last night but couldn't play as I was installing after hours server updates for clients.

I play with servers, hence why I have one I can use for mumble, etc.

I cannot help you all that much when it comes to this, however I think that you could contact Grollourdo about times - he's a Singapore player though, so I don't know how much that helps.

 

A quick check also tells me that there are a few people on right now on the Tokyo servers if that helps. It could be a time around this one where people group up.

i'm not an elite player by any means, but happy to impart the experience that I have.

Perhaps I can convince you to be guineapig on my mumble server as I can't use TS3.

 

When you come on, try to seed a local match by waiting in DM lobby or the private scrapyard server lobby.

Then you message any hawken friends online until someone joins you. From there it will grow.

 

People go to other regions when they don't see anyone in Oceanic, but you'll never see anyone in oceanic if no one is the first person to sit in a lobby and wait to build a match.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

quick bump.

 

Some good games last two nights. started slow in DM then grew and then quietened down generally 1130pm.

 

Thx for Scr1m6ot and Jim1 for the scrims at the end when it got quiet. Thats when you learn some good skills.

Also welcome and thanks to the other pilots who have only been playing a few days, keep coming back and bring your friends.

 

Cheers,

My problem is that I'm in Perth so the time most of you guys are playing, I'm having dinner and will just join as the rest of you are slowly logging off... Second problem is that my desktop stays at home when I go to Kalgoorlie during uni semesters so I can't play then (I'm currently on a one week break).

If you came on at 8pm your time it is only 10pm here. we still play on past 1130. Most nights I have to force myself to call it quits before midnight so I can sleep and leave for work at 7am.

Callout to The_Anger

Welcome back to Hawken.

 

I enjoyed our DMs, I need more <1900 players so I can actually win some scrims :)

Seems like Fkwp enjoyed also (and the move I played on him in Wreckage).

 

Add me on Steam. Will try and jump in if I see you online.

Returning, not new.

Has Nemesis bundle circa Steam release.

 

1700ish MMR so it makes good matches with me. I rekon you'd enjoy the matches too Dawn.

Edit: I nearly messaged you on Steam last night, so if we have similar matches again i'll make sure to let you know.

 

Just need to make it worth his while to stay. Need more in the 1600-1900 range ;)

He recognised Lioot was a good player but didn't seem scared off by him, so i'm sure he'd happily match anyone sub 2K and not get all butthurt if they beat him.

...same way I don't, but I don't mind a challenge. I just drop a holo when I kill someone way above my MMR.

 

I once downed Putre from pretty much full health (98% if I remember). You bet I dropped a holo + emote! (Ok, he probably had no items left and I had to use all mine, but it still counts. I worked my ass off for it. Its a rare delicacy.)

Have seen some more new Aus players around recently. Perhaps we'll have a bit of an influx with HSC exams having finished around November 6.

 

Lets keep the local servers active, and offer to give advice to new pilots, and maybe we'll have some recruits sticking around through the holidays and continuing into 2016 ;)

Found a couple of new players in coop last night. Played a couple of rounds but they didn't seem to want to chat so ended up heading to asia.

 

Ping was more crap than usual. I lost some MMR in a 1600 lobby.

Bad ping is worth at least a hundred MMR or more.

 

Anyone going to be on tonight? I know we don't have war-Wednesdays in Aus, but some regular mid-week local matches would be good.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

We should organised something. I agree with 6ixxer, a mid-week event could go a long way in retaining/gaining some population in our servers. However, due to the lack of a good Fightclub server which doesn't rotate makes starting something like this difficult.

 

I'm fine with joining an event like this if someone creates it.

We have a Fightclub-Sydney server. Is it private or is it managed by Reloaded?

If Reloaded then we can ask them to set just to use the test arena.

 

I agree that we need the 1v1 map with viewing areas to allow mentoring, etc.

I made a 2nd account for mentoring so I won't kill my main account MMR (...again).

 

I hope to be on around 9-12 Syd (6-9 Perth).

 

Cheers,

6ixxer
