Official WarHawk Discussion: **Patch 1.5/"Falling Star" OUT!**

Just finished playing. From update, I was set back to recruit....now I'm 10+ games in and a lil over half to getting sergeant. Later I'll see how many ribbons/badges I got.
 
Played some more. Ran into my first teamkillers and I found out that they're complete morons. They tried to run me over on the ramps in the Island Outpost map, so I just down below and they gave up. :lol: I stuck around for a few more games and then quit for the night. I've got 8 badges, 11 medals, and I'm a Chief Sergeant (though I have maybe 1/5 of the points required. I like getting new customization gear with each new rank.

I don't think I'm getting all of the ribbons I was told I received though, as I've seen a few, like Base Defense and Good Conduct, that I don't have, yet. Hopefully those will show up by the time morning rolls around. I don't like being told that I'm being recommended for medals and not getting them. :whistle2:(

Yeah, my "first place on losing team" ribbon didn't show up for about a day (since the server reset a few days ago), but when it did, I was very proud of myself. I'm not that great, but I had one amazing game where I was killing enemies all around me. It was awesome.

I don't think I'll ever be hard core enough to get medals, though! They seem out of my league.
 
I really need a demo of this game. It sounds solid, but I'm not sure I want to drop $60 on it (not interested in downloading it for $40).

Yeah, they were finally added to my profile this morning, so now I have 18 ribbons (8 unique ribbons) and 12 badges.

Medals, at least some of them, don't seem that hard to get. They seem to be more like a reward for playing more. Looks like I'm nearly there for the 250 kills medal.

Try renting it? That'd be the only thing to do at this point.
 
When do you guys play? I can't seem to find anyone line and I end up playing with randoms (and my rank and ribbons are suffering for it).
 
[quote name='ighosty']played a lot yesterday, but when i logged on today all my stats are gone. What the hell is this?[/quote]

It happened to me earlier in the day. Just refresh and it should be ok. Then again this was about 8-9 hrs ago for me. So I don't know if there was some sort of update or something.
 
Lost all my stats......

BLAH!


Its not THAT big of deal.. But either HAVE STATS or DONT HAVE STATS.

Having to deal with a broken stat system SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm a little confused about how I earn medals and stats. I played a number of ranked games today (they are the matches that have a trophy next to them). Throughout the battle, I will see pop-ups saying "You have been recommended for the following medal/ribbon/etc".

I finish the match. In the stat screen, I look at the personal stats and have never seen anything in the "awards" box.

Furthermore, when I go to check my stats on the community page, it says that there is no player data! What am I missing? or does it take a few hours for everything to update? Thanks!

Check back the next day, it is usually updated.

However, I played last nite and it reset my stats back to recruit and I was highly perturbed. I'm gonna check it again and see if it was put back.

I'm still getting the full server messages when there are empty slots, that is even more annoying.
 
It's kinda weird how if you just play as a troop you can pretty much dominate the whole game. Find some rocker launcher ammo, have a good amount grenades, and sabotage other ground players. Flamethrower is a must ;)
 
[quote name='Wombat']has anyone else have all their stats reset?[/quote]

yep, have had it happen 3 times. Should be fixed pretty soon hopefully since it is happening to a majority of people. You can get them back sometimes by refreshing your connection.
 
My stats are fine.

[quote name='Wombat']has anyone else have all their stats reset?[/quote]
Have you played any ranked games (what the first of the three icons means) since we played the other day? I checked your profile and you had nothing then.

the refresh worked thanks, allthough I still dont have 100 pts yet, I'm so lame

Cheapy should be able to host a ranked server, so you can get some points by killing him over and over again. I'm not sure about all of the requirements, but not allowing splitscreen is one of them.

I'll offer you this piece of advice: the land mines are your best friend. For zones, if you have land mines, put one or two on the zone and the rest on entrances around it and you're sure to catch someone. Keep doing it over and over for some fun when you realize how stupid some of these people are.
 
This game's so much fun to pop in for a half-hour or so stretch. Still trying to tweak the aming sensitivity though. What's everyone going with?
 
Anybody online right now? Post the server and I'll join up. PSN ID: dannyv79

I've got three issues I'm needing some help with from the CAG community:

Is there any way to check stats online away from the PS3?

I have the Jabra headset with the retail package. I can hear other players, but they can't hear me. What setting do I have messed up on the PS3?

Is there supposed to be some type of bar with score information or something at the top of the screen? Last night when I was playing it looked like there was some type of bar up there but it was cut off.

Thanks in advance for the help.

1) Not yet. Warhawk.com should have a stat system up there so time though in the future.

2) Not sure... Go into Settings/Audio device (something like that), play around with the volume there?

3) Hmm... check out this image. Do you not see your name, your points, and then team info like that? Nothing above that line.

There's a nice little graphics setting in the menu that allows you to tweak the left, right, top and bottom parts of the screen independently.

Hold L3 to talk maybe? Or maybe you already know that... :cool:
 
How long does one need to play a ranked game before the stats count? Do you need to complete a match or do you need to go through a few matches before things will count?

I've recieved a ton of things, but none are showing up yet! :( It's starting to become frustrating and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong!
 
Latest update:

While monitoring the stats situation over the weekend we were largely pleased with the results. The vast majority of you were having proper stats registered on the server. That said, as of Monday, we are now seeing some players NOT getting their stats again. A smaller portion for sure, but there's still a problem.

We had meetings with the team here and in San Diego today to discuss the list of issues and data gathered thus far, just to keep the info flowing to the community, here's what we're investigating as hot items:
  • Stats Issues -- Some players are *still* experiencing stats not tracking. Some players have also experienced your ranks being "reset" or, at least that's what appears to be happening. In fact, ranks are not being reset but rather, the connection is being lost to the stats DB and thus the game can't validate what rank you really are. So please don't be alarmed. You didn't just lose all your hard fought points and medals. Upon the next clean log-in you should be fine.
  • Join Problems -- Sometimes I swear, getting into a big game in the join list is like a mini-game...and a frustrating mini-game at that. We are well aware of this and have people working on it. There are many times that the game shows that it has open slots but will reject your connection...just to continue to show there ARE free slots. A further problem is that players are informed of the game being full only after a long period to attempting to connect...*weak* (read weak like AWESOM-O)
Now we know there are other issues out there, and many of you have made some great suggestions but we feel strongly that these primary issues need to be addressed before we start looking at enhancements.

We're still cranking on these issues and will post another update soon.


Nice to see everyone is still on the ball.
 
Bleh, I think I have to give up on this game now, no matter how much I wanted to love it, I can't. None of my stats are showing up, I went from Sgt to Recuit. I wasted hours playing, getting no points or ribbons or anything. And that whole seeking a server game is fucking annoying. Nobody from the clan is ever on when I'm on and I get to basically be a target dummy from people in the warhawk.

Good luck and enjoy to those who still play. Time for me to find another PS3 shooter.
 
Thong - what time do you usually play? For me I mainly play any time on the weekdays 1-4pm and around 230-5am PST. If you play around those times (or anyone else) I'm game to team up. This week for me is gonna be really scarce. Goooo finals!
 
I was gonna buy this one but it seems my waiting has paid off. Hopefully they get these bugs fixed asap so I can actually buy a PS3 game (still just playing my ps2 backlog right now)
 
[quote name='Wombat']the refresh worked thanks, allthough I still dont have 100 pts yet, I'm so lame[/QUOTE]

Wombat,
You got warhawk I take it? Did you download or buy? I agree with you that $40 is a rippoff as a d/l only, especially with the restrictions. But I think as a box set with the headset for $60 is ok value (actually I only payed $35 at launch for the box set).

All,
You can't be worse than me. I can hold my own in most games, but find that am terrible at warhawk. I have played a total of about 5 hours, but still, rarely get more than 4 kills, and usually die about 8 times. I am totally useless on the ground (although pretty good in the turrets/AA's). I am ok with the warhawks, but I find that my missiles always hit my opponants, it rarely takes them down, and then they are out of my sight. I find I can only break missile lock about 5% of the time.

I really am so frustrated, I am going to give it another week, and if I still blow goats, then I will have a copy of warhawk for sale (glad I bought the physical copy). I am average at R:FoM, and decent at R6V, I'll just go back to them.

If you have any tips for turning down the suck, post 'em.

I'm sure this has been discussed in this thread already, but I haven't been keeping track since I only received the game a few days ago. What are the icons on the server select screen? It's a cup, person, and something else.
 
Can't wait to get the stat issue fixed. Seems it is pretty messed up for now. One minute you have all your stats and the next they are all gone. Not clear if games you play now are getting counted or not. I do like the cool modifications you can make to the planes and characters so hoping this gets cleared up.

Wish more people would use headsets as it makes the zones and CTF matches much easier.

cup icon = ranked game
person icon = player created game
 
Sept 13th update.


We are deploying another server-side update and system restart during a maintenance window of 5am to 7am PDT. on Friday.

This is to further address stats related issues -- surprise, surprise! :)

I have read a lot of these posts (and on NeoGAF) and I want to let all of you know that, while the posts can get a bit acidic at times, the team and I *COMPLETELY* understand how &#*$@! bad it is to not be able to get your stats. Especially when it works fine for some people and not for others!

Some of you asked in your posts "why didn't they see these issues during test or their Public BETA?"

Good question and the answer is simple...our Public BETA didn't have 14K *simultaneous* players running more than 98,000 games in the first week! These problems are load issues that we encountered post launch.

So...you should always remain skeptical...its the right position for a player/consumer to take. But please know that we are, and will continue to be, focused on supporting Warhawk!

As always, I'll keep everyone updated as to new developments!
 
That is good to see that they are working on the issue. Hopefully this patch does it and we can all get back to worrying about game playing and not wether or not our games are being counted.
 
[quote name='Gshocker']Wish more people would use headsets as it makes the zones and CTF matches much easier.[/quote]

QFT. I've played a few CTF matches thus far, and I've seen about two or three people at most playing with a headset. It makes such simple tasks, like, riding in the back of the jeep, easier when you can yell at the driver.

I can't wait for the CAG clan servers to go up, as a majority of players have a mic in the clan.
 
It is in in serious need of proximity chat, even if proximity chat uses a different button. I only want to tell the guy 10 ft from me to get in the damn jeep, not my teammates flying warhawks.

~S[/QUOTE]Have you played in a while, because I sent you an invite for the East CAG clan 2?
 
Mana,
If by "a while", you mean two days :) , then no. I haven't played since Tuesday I think. I will be on tonight, so I'll make sure to look.

edit: I noticed tonight that I actually have to go into the community->clans section. I had thought a popup would just show up, like in other games. Anyway, got it.

~S
 
None of the stats I have ever earned are posted after the patch (but I'm not surprised, they have never showed up before).

I just hope that when I do have a chance to play tomorrow, my stats show up!
 
So the 4-hour long session I played in one of the Sony rooms with a fellow CAG Central clan member earlier this week didn't register stats wise when I went in today. I heard on the IGN boards ANOTHER fix is coming tomorrow morning. Is this true?

Getting closer to selling this game ...
 
Here's the odd thing. If I go to my personal profile through the profile option, it doesn't show anything, BUT, if I go to the members/friends list and look at my profile/stats through there, it shows everything I've done up to that day.

I remember when I used to care about stats that much, back in the days of Halo 2. But then I realized, that as I obsessed over my stats, and my buddies, that the game was really starting to feel like work for me. I using formulas, on a map basis, to get kills, and not get killed. It really sucked the fun out of it for me. Around level 20, I never put the game in again.

btw - I know it has been said before, but I tried flying with 'pro' controls last night. After 1 hour, I was twice as good as I was before. Also, a much more immersive experience.
