1.5k is your experience for the mech you are using. There are 3 types of "points" in the game: Hawken Points, Meteor Points and your own mech's Experience. Mechs can be grinded, but it is just gonna take quite some time.

How about try to play more?

I don't wanna play with North Asian people.

Always get pwned... 

No thanks, I wont return to this game, as it is just another game that is designed to encourage you to pay up once you start playing. Thats what the creators of Hawken said in a F2P conference. I do not mind paying, as long as the prices for the items are reasonably priced, where the way Hawken priced the items is just absurd. Even some new unlocks or cosmetic stuff cost way too much for barely anything. This game is not designed to be value for money.

Gameplay wise isnt that amazing anyway.

So, no thanks, I'll go back to Tribes Ascend or Dota 2.

I hate the fact that this game doesn't allow you to easily party with friends to find matches. We'll have to try and coordinate together to find a match if we want to play together. Btw, this was a month ago.

Also hate that the customization on the mechs are minimal (As a free player).

Yeah the visual & style customization. Nearly all of the mechs look identical to one another, especially when everyone is using the same versatile Recruit mech.

Hawken.. Fun game. Its really nice. However only thing that totally a downturner is the 1 sided matches

You know where 1 side is the experience team players and the other is the PUG.(pick up group) Which the game end up where everywhere u go u just end up being gang up by 2-3 mechs in most fights.
How does this works? I got a feeling i gonna look like a complete noob later. IIRC hawken dont have private 1 vs 1 match do they?

I dont bash games with no reasons behind but I am skeptical or even cynical with a lot of new games due to the way of the game industry works. No doubt Hawken is a pretty fun game, even though there are some issues with the gameplay.

I never said the game to be P2W, but the game is not designed to be value for money or cosmetic only. Considering how pricey is the in game items, I will never return to the game. There is no reason where a game's custom skin cost a bomb.

Sure you are not forced to buy cosmetic parts, but how about getting new mechs? You either grind hours and hours for it, where evidently, no one wants to grind 5 hours for a small upgrade or 20 hours for a new gun in Tribes.

The whole idea of putting a long waiting time before getting any reward is a huge turn off. Not to forget that ugly mech you get when you first start playing, where it feels like they deliberately give you a terrible looking mech so that you spend money to make it look better or just pay to skip the grind for more mechs to choose. This supports my theory that they designed the game so that you spend money on it.

Did Dota 2 have any paid only heroes? No, it doesnt, and the only paid stuff are tournament tickets, skins or voice packs. Thats how free to play should have been, not tempting people to spend money on actual upgrades or just let them grind on hours end for an upgrade.

Lastly, if you had enjoyed the game, good for you. Dont have to defend a game religiously.
