Remember WAY back when, they nerfed plain old SRMs into the ground and said they'd be revamping them? I hope they didn't stop at the crappy formations that they've added to them. SRMs used to be worth carrying.

If PGI does not buff SRM damage in the next patch I will be at loss for words. It is painfully obvious that damage buff is all that is needed for the current SRM to be viable. Simple switch of numbers--10 minutes of work, tops.

This^

The rise of PPCs coincided with the nerfing of SRMs, coincidence?

Yep.

The fact that they couldn't take 5 minutes out of their day to buff it in the last patch made me hulksmash instead of PEEFsmash. Its like they totally forgot that they reduced SRM damage by 80% (when you count the reduction of splash damage) and sent us players on our way for 2 months without a damage buff.?

I don't know anything about Hawken, but if they don't damage buff SRMs next patch I'm switching to Hawken. So devs, what will it be? Buff the SRMs and please literally everyone, or have the pleasure of getting me off your back?

What's wrong with SRMs. They are fine.

Just don't use them and trick your opponents into using them.

Maybe the forum needs an Operation SRM like the Operation Machine Gun we previously had?

"forgotten" implies they cared to begin with.

They have never cared about SRMs. Every change made was simply a byproduct of attempt to balance Streaks and LRMs. Nothing they have done shows any inclination to address SRMs as it's own entity.

I remember PGI saying a lot of things WAY back. I'm not seeing any sign that they intend to keep those promises.

Bwahahahah, you don't know anything about a game, but if they don't cater to your whims, then you're leaving to go play it. I love it.

Also, to OP, they buffed SRM's earlier this month. Just sayin'.

Mostly.

The Rise of PPC's is related far more to the introduction of HSR for PPC's.

Prepare to be horrifically disappointed.

Also, there are only like 5 guys still playing Hawken.

They are not catering to his, yours, or my whims. The fact remains, SRMs suck a_s right now. They sorely need a raw damage boost. They also should not be the same damage as as SSRMs due to being a skill based weapon you have to aim.

And the buff this month, yeah, a small pattern adjustment. For the tonnage you have to give to get Artemis in place, the pattern should be much better.

SRMs are the knockout punch brawlers sorely need right now. Why do you think the only real brawler you see right now is a 40 Jager? Because its the only thing that can really deliver a knockout up close. The entire meta of MWO has shifted to long range largely because brawlers are near ineffective up close.

Oh please, I'll wait for a SRM buff if you'd really leave. Why not go try Hawken, you may love it and never come back here. A win win. Well at least for some of us. ;)

No, you dont understand they realy underlying problem, it takes months to change a number, even though "there is weapon balancing every patch" - Bryane

SRMs are the "Jenners" of weapons.

Actually it is, if you've been keeping up w/ the stats they've been releasing for the machine gun damage boost. Might not be perfect, but they're trying.
