Hey pilots,

 

As many of you know, I'm prevented from playing Hawken since I've managed to destroy 3 systems since October. Instead, I've been putting some time into our abused console brother and I'm getting close to releasing a major review of HOWKEN. It's been wild, and I have learned a Great Many Things, some of which will surprise the community. For example, I've already made it clear in other threads that I think the Vytro will be the absolute home-run hit of the PC Update. Also, the new tiers of Air Compressor being worse than useless (except the medium tier one on Infil and Rocketeer. I think it might actually be good on Infil)

 

Thing is, my Xbox Live runs out at the end of this month and I'm not sure what else to cover.  

 

I've got plenty on frame rate, UI problems, and will have a decent amount on new mechs (and some on seriously changed mechs), but it still feels like I'm coming up short. So I ask you, what would you like more information on?

 

An example: Heavy Armour - I know we want info, but what kind of info? Boosting speed, dodge speed, dodge cooldown... anything else? Hit me up.

 

A caveat: the PC I have access to for editing is a potato. It can barely manage movie maker and trying to get two scenes to play side by side crashes windows. Pity me, keep things simple.

 

A disclaimer: I will absolutely not do any more testing whatsoever on the Civ. It is the worst kind of garbage, a plague upon the game and every fscking milge and fuzzy bunny who thought dual EOCs would be a good idea can go fuzzing give themselves a swirly. You are complicit in the degradation of this game.

Yo Amid if you send me footage I can edit it for you.

why you tink so?

i think "fusor3+compressor1+def2" on Brawler can do some things (like a variation between "fusor+reconst", or "fusor+something else" maybe, due the 1-2 slot extractor now useless)
it is not for air fight, but 1 slot AC just give you jumpad cancel on origin, and ability to jump on top of AA faster (and the other diagonal surfaces, which throw you up high and fast (actually, it is still look like bug for me or something broken :/ ))
1 slot it is very low cost for this, if you no need AC on brawler in general.

i'm also got access to PS4 (several days ago), but still not reached brawler (i play several fights), due the consoles sux, and i literally HATE gamepad, bacoz it make me very rage, if compared how i can play on PC, and my cheap skill on gamepad. well, playing in console-shooter without autoaim is punishment for me xD
But, we have one account with 8yo kid (it is the same kid which play in hwk on my pc before), and he love hwk, he play, and he is happy with it and can bear with gamepad :P

So I ask you, what would you like more information on?

Is the 1-slot Air Compressor worse at dodging up diagonal surfaces than the 3-slot version?

Does it effect airdodging up diagonal surfaces in any way?

I suppose if you're running it just for a jump pad cancel for a single mech on a grand total of three maps, its not that bad even if its niche. Its just the sheer fuel loss that cripples its functionality. On mechs that can tank the fuel its okay and I'll admit I never thought to consider Brawler in that because putting an air compressor on a Brawler is like putting a tutu on a bear.

just brawler have a problem with top places due it flying with a speed, nearly close to dead horse speed, and his flight attitude is very low. probably better spent some amount of AC fuel, and reach top faster, than spent 2/3 brawler total fuel and slowly flying up.
the same with jumpcancel, it doesn't matter how many fuel it cost, bacoz after jumpad bugged AC dodge cost 0 (zero) fuel (actually, i'm don't look how it working on consoles yet, but i'm 99% sure devs not fix this bug).

not only for brawler, i think it can do the same things with gren, van, g2, for example.
i'm generally disagree with this, i mean, i don't like this ugly 1-2-3 slot AC, and broken things which AC added in game in general. but, maybe some mechs type can work with 1-2 slot AC, ok.

i more think about useless of Heavy Hentai Armor. it is literally look useless on every mech. i will test it later for myself when earn some additional HC.

I asked C05 this, but his response was "what is slope dodging".

To me it only feels like a bug if it teleports you, like that spot on bazaar. Using it to get up the aa seems perfectly fine to me.
