Sure, mediums will never be kings of the battlefield

but as of today they will be getting nailed by a FEW less high alphas

and FINALLY be able to carry SRMs that do some damage

I'll be running my centurions and trebuchets all night to earn up for a victor!

and my quickdraw gets honorary medium status! 3SRM6+4Mlas running 100kph?

yes please!

I only wish they pushed em to 2.5

<3 SRMs

I'm getting some love back into my SRMs....but let's not get carried away with 2.5. I just wish it wasn't temporary. If paul was to say they'll keep em at 2.0 permanently.....I'm throwing money at them HARD.

[Braggart]

keep them shelved and run the QD and the dragon. Those are how mediums should feel and play.

I still think that the srms are gonna be slightly underpowered still. When they were a threat it was because of 2.5 with splash. Now we got 2.0 no splash.

a weapon that has an extremely short range, and spreads the damage it deals, and has limited ammo, needs to excel at the 1 job it has. Mess anything up at short range.

Am I the only one who wants to grab a Cent-A and zombie out after the patch?

Why did you shelve it to begin with..??

I changed my loadout... Did just fine.

Haha...I never stopped using them...

I can't wait to drill a 40pt hole right through your Centurions CT with my 2PPC/2ERPPC Cataphract and drink delicious tears when you realize that Paul's "balance" still sucks. On the 30th I'll switch it up to 2PPCs+Gauss lose 5 pts of alpha and continue laughing.

A Dragon.. maybe, but a Quickdraw is enourmous. 50 tonners should all be Hunchback size or smaller.

i was speaking performance and combat wise, not profile.

Sadly the mediums like the cent and hunch cannot use XLs without fear of death quickly. But the dragon and QD can all mount XLs and survive just fine and this gives them incredible speed and the ability to carry a sizeable weapons loadout. The Treb is kinda 50/50 on the XL though.

High expectations --> the inevitably disappointment

[Ngamok]

You'll probably run into all the Victors today.

QD is 60 tons. Doesn't change the validity of your point though. It is ridiculous how bad they screwed the scale up.

[Marauder3D]

Sorry guys, I've been busy with work lately. I'd love to take my Hunchies out of retirement.

Besides the SRM buff, what else do we know is going to happen in the patch today?

Cheers,

I've learned to expect nothing from PGI... except...

[MuonNeutrino]

I'll certainly be pulling out the triple-6pack zombie cent tonight, and maybe even the splatcat if the cent seems to be working well. I'm under no illusions that they'll be anywhere near as good as they used to be, or that they won't still be inferior to all of the ppc/gauss/ac20 boats, but dammit if I'm not going to at least try. *Someone* needs to.

Am I the only one who never stopped running mediums?

You're posting in gameplay balance, those are the only people who post in this subsection. Should be nice seeing a slight meta change today at any rate.
