Just curious.

Thinking clan emblems, or community-submitted holo-taunts.

Or maybe a miniature TF2 Medic repair drone?

CapnJosh sound packs? (Maybe just announcer, or maybe he could do all the mech noises)

Maybe the ability to gift MC items to other players?

I have already paid for everything there is from noodle cups to emblems so anything as long as it looks cool.

[americanbrit14]

I would pay to get my hellfires replaced with an extremely large toilet, and the missiles replaced with the turds of giants.

 

that would make them a bit more realistic and representative of how good they are.

[_incitatus]

Clan emblems would be sweet, but they already made the perfect emblem for us.

 

Custom paint, where the pilot can upload their own textures.

 

Custom "horn" sounds, so I can "honk" at other mechs.

 

Server rentals, already paid money for this.

 

Any new cosmetics. 

[Call_Me_Ishmael]

I would pay for new maps and new game modes; and definitely a single-player campaign.

I can see this going hilariously wrong, so I'm totally behind it. Pls Reloaded, I want my mechs to be covered in dozens of miniature shlongs.

HONKING! YES PLEASE!

I'm actually against paid map packs, because they fracture the community.

But if there was some way to monetarily show support for maps for everyone, I'd be down for that.

If anything, I overwhelmingly support those, since they don't have any gameplay balance risk.

Consumable Holo taunt barrage for MC?

Spew 15 taunts out randomly.

Or maybe launch them into the sky and have them face down parallel to the ground.

Ooh, or fireworks. Those would be cool.

[ticklemyiguana]

honking please.

 

More camos, weapon specific skins.

 

honking.

[GreyFa1con]

weapon specific skins.

I like this. Your weapons are what you spend the bulk of your time looking at on screen.

And it's a lot more aesthetic impact than what type of bobblehead is on your dashboard.

Don't you be hating on my adorable skeleton bobblehead

Sometimes it gets glitchy and it'll wildly bobble around at extreme speeds, even when I'm not moving.. ahh it's so cute :3



I'll buy anything for real monies in this game. Take all my money I don't care

Our skeleton bobbles must be either sentient or haunted

[peacecraftSLD]

I would pay for different Cockpits. Anything to make my Cockpit more custom and more schwifty I would pay for.

[-Tj-]

I would pay for custom, moderated avatars in-game. Moderated so we don't get penises, gore pics, or copyrighted stuff put into the game.

I would also pay $60 for a full 10 to 20 hour campaign, maybe $10-$15 for smaller chapters as they get made.

[kaiserschmarrn_]

MECH FIGURES

[KOS_Baconman]

Custom "horn" sounds, so I can "honk" at other mechs.

[Amidatelion]

A C-Class twerk taunt.

 

I will literally spend $100 for a C-Class twerk.

 

You fuzzing think I'm joking.

[6ixxer]

I would certainly pay to get a horn.

Special limited edition holos.

More emotes. we need twerking mechs.

More repair drones ( I want one that hurls spanners at my mech. I've fixed things that way)

More skins (ie the paint schemes specific per chassis)

Weapon skin (can that PN beeee any red-er? lets find out)

Moustache attachment :P ultimate camouflage!

Neon striping like the boss mechs in coop.

 

I would pay for a seasonal pack that you keep forever, but the items can only be used in a particular month.

Fireworks on notable holidays, snowball launcher turret in winter, pumpkin launcher near Halloween, etc.

[IareDave]

Weapon skins. I want a golden fuzzy bunnyng TOW.

[Luaq]

As in a retail physical release for PC PS4 and XBONE like they were planning back then. Would grow the community if cross platform

big gangbuster new mech

huge massive wide-open new map

i would def pay real money to cure this:

 

93 Players

[KarlSchlag]

I'd pay for the announcement of the winner of the T-shirt contest.

[Onstrava]

I would pay for lights that others can see on your mechs shoulders, legs and chassis that pulsate. You would get to pick the color to.

[M4st0d0n]

I'd pay for a whale shaped cockpit and milk spewing weapons;

[DeeRax]

A beer can or bottle would also do. Or a bottle of liquor.

I'd also like a goofy pirate bobblehead, or maybe a wizard. Or a fuzzy bunny.

I'd also pay a lil' bit for weapon skins & sounds,  custom cockpits, new chassis parts, and "limited time only" sort of stuff, if it's something unique & cool (i.e. like the Cupcake chassis, alpha paints, etc., but new)

I guess we'll just have to wait for that "amazing update", to come out.

[Sp3ctrr]

Xacius's mmr.

[Aregon]

I would pay money for the game if it was complete. 

[Odinous]

I would pay for new maps and new game modes; and definitely a single-player campaign.

All those plus new cosmetics

CapnJosh sound packs? (Maybe just announcer, or maybe he could do all the mech noises)

Alright, fine.  I drop by for any news about the game and can't resist this topic.

 

"What would I pay real money for in Hawken?"  Nothing.

 

Call me old-school.  Call me a grumpy old fart.  But my tolerance for all the microtransactions in games has come to an end - I'm completely sick of it.  I think it is ruining gaming.

 

Why do I think it's ruining gaming?

Well, because of the business end of things.  Unless your game is a well established franchise with a strong track record of profitability, you're probably not going to find a single investor or publisher unless you build your game to be "free-to-play" with built in "microtransactions".  And that means lots and lots of compromising of artistic vision in lieu of how can we compromise players impulse control centers and stimulate their pituitary and adrenal glands to get them into an addictive state of mind.  This model gets used because it is proven to give investors the best returns.

 

And now, it's even ruining those aforementioned 'established franchises' where publishers like EA are taking an "All of our games will include a microtransaction economy built in, even the ones which we charge a premium price for."

 

I'm sorry, even though I've been playing video games since 1977 and it's been a beloved part of my life... I may just have to quit at the point where one must constantly sink money into a game just to be able to enjoy it.  I've got hundreds of old games that I've been meaning to play again...

 

So, back to the question, "What would I pay real money for in Hawken?"

 

I would rather that Hawken just goes straight retail.  Set a price for the game and I'll pay it.  If you release a sequel or a huge update, I'll buy that too.  But I will not pay for access to new maps, access to new mechs, access to new game modes or access to new weapons.  And I will never play the game again if it turns towards any evidence of "Pay-To-Win".

 

If they must keep the 'real money for cosmetics', FINE.  I don't care about how my mech looks... but I don't have a problem with players who want to pay for vanity.
