I'm not sure if it's just me that knew for sure that weekly update frequency was never meant to persist beyond 2 months.

Elite is right, it was quite obvious, if not, crystal clear that the performence of the new dev team will suffer with time. 

 

In fact, I don't see any difference to the Hawken pre-Reloaded apart from a forum which is my playground for messing around.

Still no update for over a year now.

The devs stated that it could take up to a year before proper updates with content could be released. And please, tell us what was so obvious, for we are curious.

A lot of free to play games had excellent communication at the beginning only to reduce over time for a number of reasons like not having anything worth mentioning, slow progress on things they wanted to accomplish the following week or month and sometimes just being too buzy to do anything else during that week.

 

What ADH gave them to work with and how many people they have on staff, I can see those things happening a lot.

I think its fine that there is no update, they are likely knee deep in hiring atm, i think its just that this community is a touch traumatized by past experiences that somewhat regular updates or saying hi even are nice to keep the panic at bay.

Not that we're owed anything, but telling us "Hey, no weekly update this week because X reason, we'll check back in with you guys on X date" would illustrate some minor effort on their part to keep us informed. I don't really even care if they keep pushing that date out so long as they regularly post short snippets at a consistent and reliable pace.

 

If they say they're doing it weekly, and then they don't, I'd feel better if they said, "We said we're doing it Y frequently, but it's going to be Z frequently now". Which is why I asked Elite if he had a source he could post, and I got the kind of response I should have expected.

I agree that while updates take a while to put together, a tweet stating that it'll take a bit longer to get the weekly* update out, only takes seconds and will prevent players getting upset.

 

The update may also just end up being that they are still working on the same stuff they outlined in the last update.

 

I like seeing the updates, but I equally don't want devs taking all their time telling us what they are planning to do as opposed to actually getting it done.

 

Cheers,

6ixxer

I wouldn't be particularly surprised if the Weekly Update turned into a monthly sort of thing. Recently the weekly updates have been pretty similar, even with the two-week gap between the previous two. And honestly, I'd rather them share new information when they have it than rehashing known information for the sake of sharing something each week (although that's just a personal preference sort of thing).

The previous updates stated they were in the process of hiring new developers (and artists), working on design direction, and attending E3. Thats big stuff, and unlikely resolved in a week to any meaningful form to warrant an update. Sure you could have an update that said "still working on it" but really what would be the point of that? Have some patience and realize that technical work takes more time than you may think it does.

Elite is right, it was quite obvious, if not, crystal clear that the performence of the new dev team will suffer with time.

LOL, go take on a similar project in the field of IT (any field); hire a staff and see how it goes, and THEN come back and criticize like you know what you talking about....

i'm rekt an' wanna kick ass, and noone is home.

 

and from it's pre-existing community, ReLoaded is a horror story.

this said, we can only hope that our present-day Hawken doesn't devolve into the sh!it hole ReLoaded has for a reputation.

this present day no change/nothing been done thing we're playing isn't half bad. Hope Eternal.

But he tells the truth. And as long as he does that, everything else does not matter.

This game has no real future if it really takes years for a proper update. Time is a resource Hawken hasn't got 'cause it got wasted before.

Why don't you do it so I can blame you? I am not a dev nor some IT worker. I am a consumer and I do rate stuff I buy/use. No, I don't have to do everything better in a field if I choose to consume something.

Once again, a consumer does not care about the circumstances only about the result compared to others. If the competetors make it better then the consumer will go to them. No matter if one kitchen is burning and the other not. If the kitchen is burning then it is pathetic enough that it already happened. Consumers expect to have their food to be delivered in time with a decent quality no katter the circumstances.

They actually just can added new mech part (from alpha) and make some money easily. But they don't do it. They can do this even with current team (like it was with Hon parts). maybe they want do something more than this. hope don't die.

Warface is a game that has many complaints about the purchase of items, including old players have left and the game continues to attract new players, so I do not think the solution to this Hawken in the criticisms made.
 
First they must capitalize on the game, that is to enter enough money to invest in people that allows develop, there are already announcing that they plan to do that, so I think things are heading the right in order to revive Hawken.
 
Obviously that is going to take so I do not see that impatient, abandoning Hawken was not of these developers was of the foregoing. Including the abandonment (which was almost a full year) did not disappear Hawken.

But he tells the truth. 

 

He claimed the devs wouldn't post weekly updates beyond 2 months and then fuzzy bunny on a request to provide a source. Then he shared his opinion of the Hawken community for a few more posts. Considering none of those posts really contributed to figuring out where the weekly update is, his "truths" - none of which are substantiated - are as useful to this discussion as random facts out of a trivia game.

 

Everyone is welcome to create a separate thread about how they think the devs are under resourced, or about how the community is a bunch of nerds, or whatever tickles their fancy. I'm not interested in conjecture about what the devs are doing. I'd just like a comment from them on the topic at hand.

or at least some confirmation they're still reading the forums. Tiggs would pop into a thread occasionally in startlingly appropriate times as if psychically simultaneoulsy monitoring every thread and post. Omniscient is the term, i believe.... :ninja:

They just came from E3, maybe they are super busy interviewing new staff?

 

Because that is what he said in his last update. And please stop with the whole doomsday sayers and how "the end is neigh" - Tiggs has been posting updates on fixes so you guys are just over-reacting. A lot.

I've also seen Tiggs visiting streams as normal. She even mentioned an upcoming switch with what company does server hosting if I remember correctly. This was on Merl's stream the other day.

some says overreact...
But
This feels just like last Aguest, not saying reloaded is abanding the game, but Hawken is more playable even in that gap period...now? Much more random program failures, heavier lags, less player base(this comes from time)...bad server divided method(for ppl in asia)...expensive mechs..all those won't happening for no reason.

Same thing happened in August?! Coincidence? I think not!

Reloaded illuminati confirmed.

Seriously though. I understand were wired for pattern recognition but sometimes it gets out of hand. It's like with that whole Mayan clock thing. I get that the clock has an end, I just don't buy into the fact that it's a prediction on the end of the world. An ancient civilization clever enough to make such an accurate calendar would understand they didn't have to plan out more years for it than they really needed. Same with reloaded. If they're busy enough to forget an update once, they're working hard which is good. If they want to wait to update us with potential big news instead of hinting at it when it isn't a definate or giving small updates that are uneventful more power to them
