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

I'm feeling this a lot better than OD, but still not doing jumping jacks. Why can't they release normal levels. One map is dark as all hell, and the other is blinding!

Seems that enough people have got the booster that we could have 'booster' games on a regular basis.
 
[quote name='josh_animebum']Booster packs can be gameshared.

The downloaded game cannot.[/quote]

M' kay... then I take it the booster packs aren't restricted to the account that downloaded it.

I may have to buy this on a second account so I could gameshare later if I wanted.
 
Seems the reason I can't purchase anything on the PS Store is because I left my credit card at the ATM last weekend when I was doing my taxes! :bomb:
The bank cancelled the credit card, which explains why it wasn't working, so it's all good... But now I have to wait a week for them to send me a new card in the mail to be able to download the BM booster... :cry:

Wahh! Wahhh! *sniff*

You mean I won't get to hear "garblegarblegarblegarble" tonight.:cry:;):lol:
 
I was thinking...
I didn't notice the "garblegarble" last weekend, until the dogfight games... Maybe dogfight matches are a lot louder.

You know, now that you mention it... It does seem odd, doesn't it? Because it does seem to happen during dogfights. :whistle2:?
Or it could be because my headset needs charging... Who knows really.
 
Is this game 4-player splitscreen local? I was gonna buy a used copy at GS but the guy said that I would need to have my PS3 connected to the internet because this game is only online? Or are there two versions of this game? Also what does Online LAN Split-screen mean? Is that when you need to have 4 different tv sets in a room?
 
i might buy the bundle pack but i havent played warhawk for a while now. its a fun game.. dunno is 11.99 is worth the extras or not though.

LOL

I just finished dinner and am recording Survivor and Earl... hope yall are still on!
 
What's up with this whole Pro and Casual official server types? Is the only difference Friendly Fire and Spawn delay? They don't even have rank restricted servers anymore. Grrr, my server favorites list is shot to hell now.

I thought the same thing when I logged in today... I just made Sergeant so now I can only play on the newbie server for one more rank before I get owned every time I spawn.:cry:

I made chief sergeant (or whatever's after sgt.) recently and it's a rude awakening going from the top of one tier to the bottom of the next. :hot: Bubble helmet is worth it, though.
 
Those newbie rooms are great. Since I suck the big at this game, it's cool to play with other people who equally suck. I'm learning how to fly the Warhawk and all the differenc weapons it has. It's really helpful. Can anyone enter this room, or is it just for lower ranked people? I'm an Airman 1st class and I want to play people with the same rank/skill as me, not some ultra hardcore players.
 
Theres a search option in the lobby, go under filters under rank select my rank and you should be able to frag similar level noobs in no time.

On a side note I need to get in on this Warhawk Olympics

I thought that "Rank search" was for rooms that allowed the rank you pick or higher. Though I may be wrong.
 
Some people are so goddamn good with the Warhawk. I swear. I can't stay in the air for more than a minute or two before I get missiles up my ass. =\ It's like, "Hey, I need some more chaffs to fend off those missiles." *dies on the way to get it*
 
[quote name='KingBroly']Am I reading the topic title right? 1.31? I knew of 1.3, but 1.31?[/quote]
1.31 re-added team balance, team randomization, and team switch. Took away unlimited point matches. And renamed the official servers.

How big of an update is it?
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Took me maybe 10 minutes to complete.[/quote]

I'm glad you told me. This definitely would've slowed me up trying to play tonight.
 
[quote name='robobagins']So how is everyone feeling about the new server types(Newbie, Pro, Casual) instead of the old Level types?[/quote]
At first I thought I'd hate it, but now I'm just meh.
 
[quote name='robobagins']So how is everyone feeling about the new server types(Newbie, Pro, Casual) instead of the old Level types?[/quote]


I fucking hate that they took away the old style servers. I loved to play the medium zones maps and the small CTF maps. Those were by far the best rotations for me. I do not see why they can not have a mix of both types.

That is nuts! I want this keyblade, *cough* err...uhh knife, hehe! :)[/quote]
Whoa... That'd be cool to have.
Why haven't we made a team?
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']We should make a team... :cool:[/quote]
Great idea...:applause:

We should... the worst that would happen is we'd get some sweet knives for future knife only games.
I created a GGL account so if someone creates a CAG team let me know.

I tried looking at the rules but I forgot how to read, but I'd imagine that there'd be set times we'd need to play, so that could cause a problem.
 
I'd like to join the team. Hit sergeant recently. Didn't want to join the game nights right away b/c I didn't want to get killed too often

It's not that bad, and besides, you have to play people better than you (and die as a result) to get better yourself.
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']Awesome. :applause:
But... I think the link is broken... :whistle2:#[/quote]
Ack... How did that happen. Fixed now.

And I skimmed through the rules and it seems like all the games are Zones.
A team is given three days to accept a challenge or propose a new time.
We need at least 8 people in the team, but more would be better as the minimum number of players for a challenge is 8 (Now I think 8 isn't the minimum number for a challenge, there should be a Rules for Dummies page, instead of having to wade through the official legalize).

That's all I can think of now.
And if anyone has a good image to use for our team pic, let's see it.
 
I figure I should get around to asking this question since I have been forgetting to ask it for some time now lol ---

Every so often when I am playing I will see bright flashes of lights like there was an explosion going off....... but there is nobody around and no explosions to be had. Its almost like a tank is sitting there and just blasting the same spot over and over and over. Kinda strange, no idea WTF it is.

Anybody else get this at random times?
 
Could be one of the map exploit spots being used. People sit in certain parts of certain maps and "wallhack" parts of the terrain. If you keep dying but can't see who did it (it just shows some random terrain), that is someone using the exploit.

It happened to me once so I switched teams and TK'd the bastard that was doing this. He left after the second TK.
 
Anyone have a guess as to what Dylan Jobe's latest Warhawk riddle (at the end of this post) could be hinting at? I was hoping the PSBlog commenters would do the work for me, but so far they haven't come up with anything decisive.

Someone went and converted the hex codes for each color into ASCII and came up with "wax sun die," which sounds like an Icarus reference. So maybe it's just hinting that there will be a new booster pack with Icarus in the name? It's not really an earth-shattering revelation, but Jobe's previous riddle revealed the Broken Mirror title, so it seems plausible.

This one is really far-fetched, but it's my favorite: Some people guess that the three colors imply that they'll be adding a third faction. It sounds ridiculous because all the maps are designed for two teams, but I've always wanted to see a game like Battlefield/Warhawk with battles between three armies. As far as I know, it's never been done except in RTS games.
 
Somehow I found myself in the Sony forums just now and noticed this post about some server changes going live tomorrow:

This update is going to occur on May 20th, between 10AM and 12PM Pacific (1PM-7PM Eastern, 17:00-23:00 GMT)
Here are the list of changes that will be rolling out. And as a friendly reminder...server rotations are an living aspect to the game that can be updated as needed. Please let us know what you like and what you don't so we can continue to adapt the servers to best serve the community.

Rock on,

-dylan

...now back to work on the v1.4 update, v1.5 update and the next...err. I've said to much :)
  • By popular demand, playlists which include the largest layouts now include only the largest layouts. They will no longer occasionally rotate into medium layouts.
  • By popular demand, respawn times have been set to 3 seconds.
  • By popular demand, Broken Mirror servers now offer dedicated CTF and ZNS games in place of the mixed playlists.
  • Dogfight servers were added back to the list. They were inadvertently omitted before.
  • All games’ time limits were reduced to 15 minutes, and ZNS score limit was reduced to 5000, to combat complaints of prolonged base camping.
  • “NEWBIE” servers were changed to “Rookie” to bring the nomenclature in line with upcoming changes in v1.4.
  • “Pro” servers were changed to “Expert” to more obviously indicate a skill level rather than a player type. Some players incorrectly identified “Pro” servers as tournament games, a la MLG or GGL.
  • “Casual” servers are essentially the same as before, but the “Casual” designator has been dropped. We now refer to these internally as just “standard” servers, and they are listed without any special identifier.
  • The rank cap on Rookie servers was increased to Wingman, since players were getting kicked out of these servers too quickly and finding themselves unprepared to play on standard servers.
  • A rank cap was imposed on standard servers at Command Marshall. This is rank 15/19 so it should not affect a lot of players. The intention is to pull some of the most elite players out into their own category, somewhat narrowing the rank gap on these servers.
  • Many Omega Dawn exclusive servers were removed due to lack of use.

Sweet... back to the new... rookie servers for me.:lol:

I wonder what changes in 1.4 prompted that.

Also... what the hell... "prolonged base camping" in zones... isn't that what zones is about... taking bases and then keeping them... or am I not understanding what base camping is?

I'm guessing that's to put a merciful end to those games where one team sweeps the entire map and the other team is stuck spawning at their level 1 base. When similar stuff has happened in CAG games with like 10 minutes to go, I've seriously wished there was just a white flag pickup. :) Or maybe it should be possible to commit seppuku with the knife. [space reserved for freaky's ritual suicide smiley]
 
God, I never even used anything in my Omega Dawn booster. Never found a decent server with OD and never used a dropship. What a waste. Make it free damnit instead of removing servers.
