#1. take a focus on optimization, somewhat map and game mode specific, hell make it a priority

with an i5 4440 (3.1ghz 4core), 8gb of your standard ddr3 ram, no gpu (that means integrated graphics, the i5's intel HD 4600  256mb or well "224mb"), albeit a B85 mobo

i get like 40-50 frames in TDM even on eco and i think bazaar too

MA on those 2 maps and wreckage tho, 27, 29 fps same with siege

 

if you say well that would be catering to your low tier fuzzy bunny arch, to that i say fall over ded k?

 

#1.5 additionally lower quality options and less animation options would be great, i mean sure, missiles on missile assault can kill you....idc, i don't need to see them do squat, same with the lame ass explosions hitting the base rofl, hell take out the silo "priming" animation

i need to FIGHT, not admire the pretty fire works and great engineering of the silo i'm supposed to defend

as far as viable lower the req specs! heighten the framerate! #1 and #1.5!!!

 

im pretty sure this is something everyone can get behind yes? <3 its surely to much for me to ask to be able to play Hawken at 60fps without a GPU but as close as possible would be nice.....

 

----------------------------

 

#2 dont mess up my grenade launcher no matter how long hawken lives, make hawken live forever, and do stuff forever (there is a good chance that Hawken is a giant cash cow ready to go moo on your bank account like that APB thingy and then moo for years to come)

 

----------------------------

 

#3 kill off the mmr restrictions, completely, people at uber high tier gaming levels of humanity CAN STILL DIE AND LOSE, fight them, and let them fight, with the name they like, not just sum damn name they made up so they could kill some free time

 

----------------------------

 

#4 i feel like the game needs a really in depth mentor and training system but thats highly unfeasible.

videos/guides don't REALLY cut it, the community can only do so much, both posting and individual/group lessons/practices.

something like the videos in LoL for abilities would be a great idea but probably incredibly hard to choreograph things like mech maneuvers

Nosgoth's training is pretty good but falls far shorter than mobas teaching method because of the difference in skill caps and gameplay style.

what are we left with? a whole lot of blood sweat and very salty tears over a decent period of time to train a person in Hawken, but heres the kicker, thats just the training to be able to perform casually because of the small player base, gameplay style and speed, skill cap and a bucket of other factors

 

its all been said be4 but we really need a LOT of new players

 

hurry up and slap your damn name on it, increase the server tick rate, additional server locations that would make for viable pings to people in regions distant from each other(pipedream), hows the main pages language accessibility and overall language accessibility?,  more HC for new players, and tho you're pretty good about it so far....way more communication

 

-----------------------------

 

#5 ded mech ragdolls are annoying, but i can't make up my mind if they should stay or not, sort of like i cant make up my mind if the weapon raise delay should stay or be removed, toyed with the idea of a weapon raise delay nerfing internal but its just a sugar coated raider ability internal

 

-----------------------------

 

#6 i like the idea of adding graffiti spraypaint that you can use on walls/floors in matches (as seen in Crossfire and whatever other game employs that function.....cs or some crap) nothing beneficial like crossfire employs with "bomb this way --->" and "mutants here" spraypaints, tho that would be interesting. probably a long shot considering i'm not sure how much you are willing to commit to Hawken considering the coding implications might be far vaster than i can imagine. but if possible it would be another potential source of income (what can i say people like to draw over other peoples crap)

 

-----------------------------

 

#7 search and destroy game mode because it attracts search and destroy fanatic's

 

-----------------------------

 

#8 seriously game mode varieties are a big thing

 

-----------------------------

 

#9 yes and 120 field of view (but first increase my framerate without a GPU    )

 

-----------------------------

 

#10 map repairs at your leisure

 

#11 im sure theres more

120deg out-the-window adjustable viewing too.

I usually get 10-20 fps nearly the full match in Facility Coop Destruct, teleporting and freezing all over. Enough to have you almost pewking on your shoes by wave 25.  And this with 122fps in the Lobby/Garage.

You are likely correct in the overload with animations, as this happens when the entire team on both sides is duking it out at the AA and/or UnderBridge on Prosk.

I can run Ultra/Ultra or Ultra/Low--makes no diff. FPS still are virtually identical (it does get hot as sh!t tho on U/U).  :(

It's worth noting that this game seems to absolutely loath Piledriver chips.

 

And for fuzzy's sake Arch, do you really expect this game to run well without a dedicated GPU? This isn't a cheesy flash game. Have some respect.

I would say have any graphics card, even if it happens to be like a GT 620.

Hey, pick up a cheapo GT 740 for like under $70.  Or make the leap to a GTX 750 for like $100.  Or a GT 730 for like $50.  I mean, not having a dedicated GPU hurts.  I'm surprised you're as you are with such hardware (no offense). I applaud you, but seriously, get a cheapo GPU.  It'll help.

Not having a dedicated graphics card is what's killing you.

[Pineapple_Wizard]

I would love to see optimization take a priority. I'm a college student and cannot afford a high end machine. I can get 30fps if I'm lucky

[IareDave]

Damnit arch, Just get a gaming laptop

[TheFrostnessMonster]

Yeah this game needs some optimization.  When I can run Lost Planet 2 on max settings, DX11, V-sync on and AA on max, and still get 60+ FPS constantly, but only get 30-40 in Hawken on a mix of high/ultra, AA off and other eye candy off as well, you know there is a problem.

 

P.S.  Lost Planet 2 has better sounding guns than Hawken :)

[Draigun]

A port to DX11, additional optimizations on all fronts, and a game engine capable of rendering frames in real-time would considerably increase performance. Facility is a good example of how optimized each map should be, while also satisfying the design and gameplay philosophy.

[crockrocket]

Fully agree on 2 - 4 & 7 - 11. The other's I don't feel strongly about either way

[Rainbow_Sheep]

I play on a laptop designed for word processing with no dedicated GPU.

AND I WANT RETURNED BETTER QUALITY SOUND EFFECTS AND BETTER GRAPHICS AND THE FEEL THAT THE FIRST TRAILER HAD.

Btw I have gpu.
