Hello pilots,

 

I haven't played Hawken since shortly after the Technician was released. I feel like there's a whole lot to take in getting back into the swing of things.

Is there anything I really need to know? Is my EOC Inf still godlike? Or my Heat Scout?

Are things mostly the same? I quit when things slowed down a whole lot and they changed things to make everything so much slower like Mechwarrior.

I looked around in the garage and played a quick bot match but it was hard to tell if things were still like they were shortly after release pace wise.

Are the kill proc internals the best ones to get? (reduced cd and armour regen)

Is EMP nerfed? I remember having to dodge green balls all day everyday.

 

Help an old man out?

 

Regards,

StephenHawking

Hey buddy! Long time no see.

Yeah, much has changed, emp is now shot out like a hockey puck that will emp on contact or on a timer when missed.

Eoc is regarded as the weakest primary, but can still be used to great effect, heat scout is still good, but outshined by bigger mechs in comp play.

They cut the health of all the classes so a's are closer to the release ttk, with c's being beefier.

Air dodge internal and the preponderance of air combat will be the biggest things to get used to.

For internals, extractor with repair kit is considered op and air dodge is ubiquitous.

EOC travel speed will probably feel a little slow in the air but it's still got a good punch. I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time.

You could probably get caught up on everything and maybe even get back up to speed just by attending this one night.  Welcome back!

Welcome back old man!

Heat scout still OP, but I haven't met pros using EOC infil so far.

All I needed to read was this to know how long you have been gone. A very, very long time, lol.
