PAX: Hawken Interview
We caught up with Meteor Entertainment's Paul Loynd at PAX.
At this year's PAX we talked with Meteor Entertainment, predominately about the a recently introduced class of mech - The Technician - which brings healing powers to frontline of {Hawken}.
"The Technician is something we've wanted since the beginning, right, but a healer is something very, very hard to balance," the game's senior producer, Paul Loynd, told us. "You know you can't have him heal too much because you're never going to kill the guy that he's healing, but at the same time he has to be meaningful, he has to bring something to the battlefield."
"Our social features are a big priority for us right now, parties are huge for us right now. We want people to be able to easily get into games with their friends," he added at the end of the interview, when discussing the road ahead for the mech shooter, which is still currently in open beta.
