I bought Adrenaline Vulcan during this current sale thanks to @Akame's repeated recommendations on Discord. I've really been enjoying it so far, and I would definitely recommend it over Incendiary Band because 1) the bullets are at a normal speed, and 2) some people can avoid the burning with Heat Immunity, but nobody can avoid extra damage.

But how can someone drive to the Green Zone if they're stuck frozen in the Blue Zone?

What if there were multiple themes? There could be both a Dark and a Light mode, each with various accent colors that a user can choose from.

What about Ares? I don't know the exact number but it seems really high.

Happy about the bug fixes in the Garage, the buffs for Isida and Striker, and the nerfs for Defender and Hopper. I also like that previous Challenge paints are finally being added to Containers. There are some that I really like but unfortunately missed out on because Challenges used to be hard.

Sounds like fun! These Special Missions are (mostly) manageable too!

I know this guy is asking a Ricochet/Wasp something about his Overdrive, but that's basically it.

This guy just spent the majority of the battle sitting on these ramps. He got a grand total of 1 kill and 2 deaths.

The hours/exp in your profile for the turrets and hulls do not change if you play in the event mode. It only goes up for paints.

Watching an ad gives you 10 Shards.

Vector looks really nice. I think it's been a year since we had a primarily white paint (Deep Blue Pixel in February Challenge I)

This is annoying, but I don't consider Striker to be a sniper. I play either as an agressive midfielder (RRE/ML Uranium/ML Hunter/Stock and Hunter/Viking) or a midfielder that has a dedicated area to sit and shoot in various directions (ML Hunter and Titan) Mostly I use Missile Launcher "Hunter", but again, I don't try to sit in the base so I don't deal with this issue that much. Sometimes it really feels like a long time. I don't use Cyclone at all because it feels like an eternity to lock on. Heavily agree that Gauss kinda replaced Striker for most people, but I find Striker to be more fun, and almost nobody protects against it. It doesn't take three seconds to lock on... This is probably one of the things I disagree with the most. Almost all of the Striker augments change up your play style and are fun to use. Also, that explains your issues with the length of locking on. Try a different augment because Cyclone really sucks. I don't really have much to say about this but I feel like Shaft does a little more damage at once. Again, augments really switch around the play style. I agree. Gauss's splash is too large, Striker's is too small. Gauss and Striker should switch the grace periods.

A similar thing happened to me. A teammate lost the flag, so I picked it up and went to my base. I waited for the teammate to come back so he could get the flag and capture it (I was almost finished with my 10 flags), but then I noticed some enemies coming so I changed my mind and tried to capture. I wasn't able to capture because this Railgun/Hornet was blocking my way (I was using Smoky/Wasp so pushing him was not an option). I ended up dying and the flag was returned.

Heh. Three heavily sought-after animated paints, and then there's Prodigi 2.0.

I've tried it in the Test Server and it's much faster than Thunder's bullet.

Does the passive accumulation of Shards continue even when my account is offline?

This is true. Sometimes I get put in battles with crappy teammates who do stupid stuff like drive into me without even turning or shoot at me and it's frustrating. I say stuff in the chat, but *most* of the time it's really simple stuff (for example, "Really??" or "Dude, stop.". But I don't take it personally, I just vent frustration and let it go. Off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you the username of a single person that I've said stuff like that to.

This is hardly an excuse. I always try my best to work towards the objective, even if I have bad fps/ping or I have a mission to use supplies or to destroy enemies. Hiding in a corner is a bad way to test out a combination, unless the combination like Shaft/Mammoth or something. Ideally, new combinations should be tested in the Test Server or in the fray of battles where situations are a lot more dynamic.

I completed every Special Mission except for the Freeze one. I can't be bothered to get 800 kills in under 2 days (that's not enough time for me) and my Freeze is only Mk4.

I actually played this game when Traceur was in the Garage (not on this account though). I didn't buy it and I don't remember why. :/

Sometimes that happens to me, where a teammate approaches me so I use my Overdrive (It usually happens with Hunter). For me it's just a knee-jerk reaction because I assume that person would start shooting me, and I didn't realize that they were a teammate. It makes me facepalm as soon as I realize that that was a teammate (almost immediately). Strange that he kept shooting you though.
