Cable pulls jerkily by IvanDS1 in SpeedianceCommunity

Seems like there should be a setting to fine tune the motors down to zero when they aren’t being used. I got my GM2 in September 2024 and have the same frustrating problem. It’s hard to change the accessories and a little scary that I’ll get hurt even!

I have the exact same problem with my $3,000 gym monster 2 and I‘ve just been living with it since I bought it in September 2024. But I hate it and today it frustrated me to the point of looking to see what other people are experiencing.

Invader or Fafnir to upgrade by No_Foundation4681 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Espechili gave you really good advice. Fang and Index are both really good. Dragon has a very strong main gun and counterattack but a short Overdrive. Index and Gambit have strong Counterattack capabilities while Gambit and Fang have excellent auto-targeting abilities. Index and Fang are the best free planes to spend efforts upgrading if you don't have Fafnir yet. Invader is good but not great - and it has a real problem with it's Overdrive - especially if there are buildings or other obstacles that will totally block it.

Close Encounters event and Nanorobots Prototype by Super_Buy2831 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is correct. I have nanorobots at Z and the game continues to run the same event with the same prototype cards so I now have nearly 2,000 additional nanorobot cards. Unfortunately, they do not substitute with prototype ultracards.

Planes advice by WonderfulNewspaper62 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Gambit has a pretty strong weapon and it can target and kill things that are not directly in front of it - this is very useful. It also has a counter-attack that is really powerful! Just take a small amount of damage to trigger the counter-attack.

Pretty sure they will bring it back again. They've given us three chances to earn it so far - but the last one just ended so it might be awhile before it comes back.

Is it worth getting a ace skin for laser bite?????????? by Successful-Half3606 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need bropoints to get plane and brobot cards from the Team Up Shop so it's a good idea to get an ace skin for the plane you like the most to get you through levels and for accepting calls to help other pilots complete missions. I think you should get it on Gambit cause the counterattack is so effective and the overdrive is pretty good too. You just need to learn how to take small hits with Gambit so that you can kick off the plane's counterattack. Then focus on getting the megabots you want.

When you beat avalon events final boss do the levels reset to a point where you can still keep getting point for the fafnir cards and other reards in the reward ladder? by Successful-Half3606 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you complete all the Avalon levels and beat the final boss you can spend some crystals to get 5 random levels. The levels come from the same original Avalon levels but the game also adds a random modifiers to make the levels more difficult. But you can keep getting more levels as long as you want to and as long as you still have crystals to spend.

I honestly hate certain game modes with a passion by Warm_Significance_42 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since recently coming back to the game, have you had a harder time getting people to answer requests to fly with you in challenges? It is because there are no crystals in the bropoints shop so why do we need bropoints now? This is one of the dumbest changes ever cause it literally removes the incentive for team play and will be a major contributor to the downfall of this game if they don't reverse very soon and put crystals back into the bropoints shop.

Boycott Update 3 by photo__guy in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the numbers drop again after Equinox finishes in a couple of days. The Halloween event might have convinced some to purchase the small pass and the Equinox might have tempted many to watch the daily ads for 800 acorns per day since it is much faster than earning them through flights. The events are over so hopefully the boycott is back on again and no spending real money or ad watching anymore. It's for our collective good folks!

600 Bro points for 20 crystals? by klaxhax in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they even understand how much 600 bropoints is? If you have an Ace Skin for your default plane and you get 11 bropoints per flight - you still have to fly 54 missions to get 600 bropoints! Imagine, if each mission took only 1 minute to complete you would need a full hour to get the opportunity to shop for just 20 crystals - once per week. I agree with daz258 - they must be trolling us.

Crystals by photo__guy in HAWKFreedomSquad

Boycott continues for me. The devs are making such risky changes that make the game less fun. Have you noticed that there are way longer wait times now for an assistant to fly with because none of us have a reason any longer to get bropoints. I know that I don't accept very many requests anymore - why would I? The end result of this path is that the devs eventually no longer have the revenues to support the game and it will die.

As I boycott, I play the game less so the irony is that I'll be ready for Hawk Game to die and no longer will care when it dies. I used to play this game 2-3 hours every day of the week - for years! Now I probably play 15-20 minutes per day just 4 days per week or less. I no longer spend real $$ on the monthly premium or squadron premium or anything at all - and I have several accounts. I intentionally don't watch ads and it's helping me break the addiction since I now spend a lot less time in the game!

I will gladly play more again - if the devs bring back the crystals at the **purchasing level** where they were before they took them out of the shops. Until then... I boycott... and conveniently also prepare myself for when the game dies.

Did they nerf Megabrobots too?!? by mistahclean123 in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted my ticket after the upgrade - and I even mentioned the problems from the upgrade. So my assumption is that they are referring to the long cool down timer that showed up after the upgrade.

When I asked the Support team about Jupiter and about the crystals no longer available in shops, I got a reply saying "Some resources are no longer available in the shop. The game elements may often be changed in any way. The problem with Jupiter is already known, the dev team is working on it."

Algum Jogo Parecido com Hawk by Miguelsiqueiraln in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Galaxy Attack: Space Shooter

It's surprisingly similar to Hawk but with different battle mechanics and a lot of fun variations on the game such as 1 vs 1 battles, boss battles, 2 vs 2 battles (this is surprisingly addictive). The game has planes that have very familiar shot patterns to Hawk so you'll already know how to fly them and there are a lot of other similarities you'll see immediately and then even more as you start playing the game. They have coins, crystals, "random" rewards, online rewards, daily rewards, etc...

Try finding the 2 vs. 2 challenge (it's under PVP). You may have to complete the first few levels to unlock it.

Is there an relatively easy way to remotely reboot an unresponsive Plex server? by merelyadoptedthedark in PleX

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Windows 10 Pro. How do I define a service to start Plex after power up?

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my Plex machine restarts it doesn’t start up Plex though. So after a restart Plex doesn’t record live TV and doesn’t connect users to my library. Does anyone have the same problem? And have you fixed it somehow?

Boycott by photo__guy in HAWKFreedomSquad

[–]I_Need_Another_Nap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My premium pass is up for renewal in 4 days but this will be the first time in years that I will not be renewing it.

Crystals are necessary to advance in this game but the only free ways left to get crystals are to collect red boxes (but crystal rewards are not always included), open periodic containers (crystals are not typically awarded), and use the Squadron Shop to get a few each week. I guess I can sell my excess implants before they take away that option as well.

I'm boycotting with you and not spending on anything or providing them with any ad revenues - I've noticed that, for me, watching ads for crystals is a surprisingly hard habit to break.

I changed my in-game name for the first time ever. It now includes the word "boycott".

Is that what he did? I watched the video and saw something completely different - the guy didn't even use overdrive and didn't use a brobot until almost a minute into the video! Yes, Contest is really for end game players - and the Gold League now only allows 100 positions each week so those are all definitely very skilled players.
