Oooh the excitement is making me go all crazy for tommorow
all those balancing/private matches/etc
what do you guys currently think?

[Gas Guzzler]

Not going to prevent roflstomps but should be interesting. I'm interested to see how the wait times turn out. I would be more excited for Private matches if I was in a unit, or knew more than 2 people that play this game.

Is there supposed to be a new Hero mech?

[Valkyrie Brynhildr]

Any patch notes to read?

[Lyoto Machida]

[Mcgral18]

Depends if SRMs are fixed or not. If not, well, not much of a patch for me.

At least we'll be able to choose who we face with 12 mans, goodbye hit or mis syncs.

Yeah, from what I experienced on thursday's test, I can see matches still being complete wipes due to huge discrepancies in Elo range. I'm really hoping it was just because there weren't a lot of players on the PTS, but I actually ran into more complete wipes than I normally do (going both ways).

If the player numbers are there, this shouldn't be a problem though...and should actually mean much better matches for all.

If SRMs are fixed then hell yes
In either case I'm ready for 3/3/3/3 I have lights and mediums ready and raring to go

they wouldn't need 3/3/3/3 if they implemented the role warfare that they promised us years ago

With the Phone Booth maps this game has? I'm not convinced anymore that we wouldn't have wound up needing it anyway.

Proper map sizes are a natural component of RW.

[Deathlike]

All I'm looking forward to is the Cancel button.

What I expect is that something that will disappoint me (well, the private matches UI interface has no scaling, which is par for the course). Maybe some ninja nerf that noone has spoken of (outside of SRMs, because... obvious reasons).

[SgtMagor]

I pug, so even though I'm happy for everyone else, private matches don't really mean anything to me at this time., except for the fact I might not have to wait as long for a pug match anymore.

[CycKath]

No. Probably baseless, but have paranoid fears that that a glut of assaults will blow out my wait times when dropping my Highlander, so desperately trying to get them mastered before hand.

Otherwise its much of muchness. Have premium time, but will only ever pug so aside from maybe one game just to see what its like, will likely never play a private match.

Because PGI.

YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[Pyrrho]

I think we will see a lot more "Meet me in game and I'll show you my argument" threads At least until there is an actual social lobby, anyway.

[Gigastrike]

As long as I can buy those new Shadowhawks for c-bills.

INB4 all the bads that think the new SRM changes will give them a fighting chance against good players get smacked back down and become sad again

[Rebas Kradd]

This will bring quite a few people back.

It won't touch the ROFLstomp problem, however. Those have nothing to do with tonnage, and never did.
