1. We set up a new host at a new data center in Dallas just today
- look for "dallas2" in the server name.
- I want to hear your experience.
2. We got rid of the worst of the Dallas-based hosts.
- The networking infrastructure just couldn't hang
3. E3 was productive
- Several pretty big developments wrapping up; can't say anything yet ;)
- The AirMech VR demo for the Oculus was great
4. Signed on a new core engine programmer
- he's starting in early July
5. Actively interviewing Sr. Technical Artists and Gameplay Programmers
- if you're interested or you know someone who might be, email resume and stuff here: http://reloadedinc.com/jobs.html
- we're aiming for experienced vets
- tell them capnjosh sent you
6. We're going to throw some active support at tournaments and leagues:
- for now submit a support ticket with any and all updates you want us to know about
- we will be sure to advertise them on the official Hawken channels
7. For this next week or so we're going to try something with HC: increase the per-minute HC gain rate
- we're doubling it and doubling the max you can get per match
- we're hoping to take some more of the edge of the sense of the "grind" and "paywall" that many have complained about.
- Also, we didn't like how lame this looked (it's a simple chart showing how many users receive how much HC due to time in-match):
