It's not that slow. The speed gets a lot better at M1 and up.

because it looks like a pizza. mmm because, well, I don't need to explain this one. because it looks cool. because red stars look cool.

Nobody has to purchase M0 Hunter. After the rebalance, everybody was given tons of crystals (based on your garage, XP, and crystals) and a garage with nothing but M0 Smoky and M0 Hunter. They could either buy new stuff or buy XP to get to their old ranks. If you didn't have Hunter before the rebalance, you apparently got it afterwards for free.

Well, I don't see why not.

I'm Chinese too. That makes 3 of us on the reporter team. XD

Congrats on ranking, Pizza! Anyway, exactly 3 XP before I rank. I'm going to have a rank up party for certain, because why not.

It certainly does. Enough health to let you come knocking at the front door of your enemies and enough firepower to destroy almost anything in your way. It also looks good in my opinion.

Yep. Kudos to you for capping flags and defending with your Hunter-Freeze! I mostly did attacking and midfielding with my Hunter-Thunder. I started the game using Hunter-Isida, but then I switched once I noticed that we needed some ranged defense. If anybody wants a picture of the results, it's here: That's the most carnage I've caused in quite a while.

After a long and well-fought battle, I now have only 1922 XP left until I rank. I've played enough for today, so I'll just work on getting myself exceedingly close to 233000 XP so I can have a rank up party. Might as well. Trom and I are thinking of doing a double rank up party (perhaps triple if Trom brings some of his alts). If we can get a spectator to record, it might have a shot of getting the Video of the Week.

I agree with Like-a-Boss. It shouldn't cost money.

6.3 XP left...

About 7.5K XP left until rank up...

I will. I'll probably use it vanilla for the first day, and then start MUing the health and possibly speed to keep up with M2 Vikings. M2 Ricochet will receive the same treatment, but with damage MUs. Things shall get rekt when I get those MUs in order. I like Sandstone's well-rounded protections, i.e. against Shaft, Railgun, Thunder, and Twins (although the Twins protection is tiny), so I'm definitely getting that as well. It's like Corrosion, but better (camouflage is better too). I'll probably start MUing the Thunder protection up to about 20% first, and then MUing the Shaft protection up to about 20% as well.

Dunno if I'll have time for that, since I need to rank fast, and that means playing in battles for almost all the time I'm online. Besides, I'm not really sure if I have any time to spare in order to get to 1st Lieutenant, so I figure that it's best to just play hard right now and set up a celebration later when I'm sure I have 1st Lieutenant in the bag. When that happens, we can have a great big rank up party. There isn't much special at 2nd Lieutenant anyway. 1st Lieutenant is (literally) where the party's at, with lots of good stuff unlocked.

About 10.5K XP left.

11K XP before I rank. I'll keep you posted. Anyway, I'm not using my M1 Dictator much right now since I'm trying to rank, which means flag returns and captures. M1 Hunter or M1 Wasp do that much better. Once I get M2 Dictator, I'll surely use it a lot more.

I hope that a new parkour paint with effects similar to Traceur could be available in the contest. It would help participants a lot.

So the "small gift" that they give you is supplies? The previous kits made it obvious that they contain supplies, so I really see no reason to keep it a secret.

Apples or oranges?

"a wild M2 Mammoth appeared!" Me: Eh, I'll just keep my distance. "A wild M2 Titan appeared!" Me: Nopenopenopenope I'm done with this gg wp kbai M2 Titan/M2 Smoky is my worst nightmare.

Indubitably. I've seen my fair share of trolling teammates/borderline sabotagers on Monte Carlo. Guess what happens if they decide to jump the ramp.

I would rather have Dictator. Good looks + more health + better firing angles. Besides, I figure if you're going to use Dictator, you don't need to be subtle. Go loud and proud.

I know Camel has a high account, so I was wondering if he had his hands on M3 Ricochet. I now realize my mistake, since UAV (Can't remember the exact username) is probably not at Commander yet.

Is your Rico M2 or M3? I'm guessing it's the former; Hm, after doing the math, it'll only take a few MUs to achieve that level of damage. M2 Vikings are a pain in the rear to deal with, so if you can mow them down in less than a single clip, that would be great. Must rank quicker. I think Monte Carlo CTFs with Thunder-Wasp or Hunter-Shaft should work well.

Do you think M2 Hunter can make that claim either? ;)
