I really mean it. I want a hawkensomemas gift.

Like you know, give us color palettes for each patterns so we can create our own camo from selected pattern, which are two different things!

Okay okay, something easier, A yeti hairy camo?


Hmmm that might be tough too...


Just a PLAIN BRIGHT WHITE CAMO, not a desaturated medium grey color...
( And don't even bother about the saturation tab...it's R256, V256, B256 white...saturation shouldn't do anything haha)

 

 

 

THANK YOU SANTA JOSH!
I didn't think my prayers would be heard ^_^, I'm so happy!

I'm fine with letting the developers chill out during the holidays.

But I'll be expecting something in January.

I.e.

1. Midgame Team Balance
2. Garage time until your first spawn
3. New Player Tutorials
4. Removing wallhacks from the Scanner
5. A new TDM Map
6. Removing Pilot Rank requirements for internals

hahah that's a lot :P but yeah... hawken need's some introspective...

ALL, as in cosmetics, decorations and upgrades, everything should be unlockable by playing, money should only be used for faster unlock or huge bundles such as unlock all (incl. current cosmetics) for 60$. that could reflect a retail price. And collector edition bundle unlocking all, even the mechs, for a highger price. Though all unlockable in-game.

I disagree here. Reloaded needs to make money somehow, and cosmetics are a good way to do this that doesn't effect gameplay. If you take away cosmetics as a source of income, that money needs to come from somewhere else. If RL's only source of income is quicker unlocks as you suggest, non paying unlocks will need to be much more grindy for this to be effective. And we already have an issue with the p2w misconception due to grind.

Cosmetics 100% should be payed only.

I disagree.

They gotta make money somehow, and cosmetics are an ideal way to do that.

But it would be nice if you could use taunts and chassis parts between multiple mechs of the same size class.

[BH0DI]

The system in place here is, far and away, the best (read: fairest) way of having a microtrans system that doesn't wind up being pay2win. Anything with an effect on actual gameplay can be acquired without paying; so the playing field is level. If you want fancy taunts or color palettes, you can shell out $5 and get some of those things. 

IMO this is not the best way to make money, but it IS the best way to keep people from complaining about P2W dynamics.

Who says people wouldn't buy a game with every content unlocked? Sincerely, I would have preferred to do that. It's far more encouraging to know that you get everything from the start by just buying the game at retail price than having to play 200 hours to unlock "everything"...

I.e, I may have spent 60$ on hawken, maybe more, over 3 years!
That Isn't good compared to "hey we make an official launch and here's what we got for you for 60$ on day one, a full game with the liberty of customizing from the start instead of looking dull and free to create any build and not feel powerless/unfair disadvantage when trying to fight against those veterans...

With new releases I would have spent some more since then anyways.

They need to make some cosmetics that just look absolutely amazing (add mustaches or something) and make them seasonal so people rush to buy them because they would have to wait another year to buy that again, maybe release a custom taunt for a month and then release it again next year, and make the taunt something that players would want to buy (pelvic thrust confirmed).

If anything, maybe the argument there is that the level 6 cosmetics should be open by default.

Since it certainly is true that all the mechs look "pretty much the same" when you first start playing.

[Luaq]

Just pour a little dust in their eyes so that they water just long enough until they're are hooked to the game ;)
( Because they are forced to look at the content until their eyes stop watering and they've analysed the beauty of it while having their vision going back to normal. )

Of course with time, they will be more stuff to buy but giving them a good start and enough candy so they end up in need of sugar.

I prefer that reloaded spent all time for making new update/content, instead spent time for working on new year event. Imo.
Also, winter prosk was better than winter eco. Cuz it is prosk :3

Pretty sure it doesn't take much time to put Winter Last Eco in rotation...

Winter variations should always be available in the map rotation, the problem is the christmas decorations that make thoses specific maps quite off season when it's not christmas. But on our planet, there are places where winter is always there. So basically if they can take out the decorations and the speakers with the music out, they could be variations useful year long.

Just thought of something, would be nice to hear some radio communications between citizens trying to survive while two teams/colonies/i.e prosk and sentium  destroy their home from collateral damage. You know... add a bit of life* in the maps. Maybe it could add up to choosing a "faction" and depending on how good a faction is with not harming civilians could give them fame and a bit more power in resources and economy because some non military society live by mining and dealing with colonies to protect them? I don't know...
