Ares's OD bug When I use Ares's OD (i.e. the plasma orb), occasionally the orb will not be fired while the charge of OD is consumed.

Yeah, thanks for sharing... The point is, this OD is designed to heal allies, including yourself and deal damage to enemies, so you are supposed to stay lose to the orb to get the full benefits. And for some reason, it will kill both you and your enemies at the end, if you stay close to the orb? This completely defeat its purpose. I don't know which genius design this, but this is properly the worst idea they can come up. "Let's make an OD which heals allies and damages enemies" "Sounds cool, what about make it explodes so that it kills everyone at the end?" "Wait, isn't it supposed to heal Ares himself? Why would it starts killing him all the sudden?" Huh?????

Yeah, except the OD. For countless time, when I was trying to use my OD for emergency heal or burst damage, the orb often hit the ground and explode, killing both me and the enemies at the same time, since when Ares is moving in any direction, the hull will slightly tilt to the corresponding direction.

The MM is matching players according to ranks actually (not exactly the same rank, but within the range). As for equipment level, I believe they on purpose ignore it so that players who spend more on upgrades will have an advantage. This encourage players to spend more on upgrades and indirectly boost their revenue, which I think is fair enough since TO is a business.

What do you mean it "doesn't work"? This is very generic and there is no way anyone can help you based on that statement. You have to be more specific. Does it not activated (press the shift key, but nothing happens)? Does it activated, you can also see the animation and effect, but it does not stun enemies? Or is that something else?

Ares interacts with mines same as all other hulls.

The first two points is subjective to be honest (sound and drift). Plus, if you don't like to use Ares, just don't use it. As far as the 3rd point, I have yet to see many Ares with close and short range turrets. In fact, I have properly seen it once or twice only (please not that I mainly play CTF, so using heavy hull with close range turrets as a defender is not something uncommon). After all, it is only slightly faster than Titan while is nowhere near the speed of medium hulls. Also, I noticed you didn't actually give Ares a try (or may be you tried it using another account?). In fact, you didn't even buy it. I recommend you to buy the MK1 version of it using a few hundred crystals and try to drive it for awhile (remember to use mouse control). It is quite hard to control it to be fair, as especially when you are trying to go to the opposite direction of where were going initially.

Can we make MM only matches Legends to other Legends? So that Legends will always play against Legends while the rest of the ranks remains the same. To be honest, a Legend lv 1 might be an OK match to Marshal, but Legend lv 20 with their fully upgraded gear is a total different story.

This might be one of the reasons, but my guess might also be possible as well. To be honest, it is quite hard to find the root cause from a black box like this one. And yes, it seems that they use the classic loading screen method to "load" the garage, while the better way to implement it is to lazy load the Tank's 3D model (i.e. display rest of the UI elements first without waiting for the Tank model to render, then render the model asynchronously).

Actually, do Ultra skins even appear in showcase?

Err... you know everyone can see your post history right? Can you stop pretending to be a dev of some one important? You are not and you don't act like one.

That's the problem. If I recall, they mentioned in the V-Log they added the button. Why would they announce something and claim it as completed while it is in fact not there? No offence, I'm just really confused on the decision making.

Just for you guys who planning to spend a lot of time doing the missions and hope that the ultra containers can give you something good, I have personally opened hundreds of ultra containers and normal containers (yes, I bought the bundles) and the best thing I got is the legendary augments for Vulcan and Gauss, which is not bad, but I expect to get at least one skins. So what does this mean? This means that the chances of getting "rare" items from the container is properly extremely low (for skins, even lower than 1%), or I'm simply very unlucky.

So... where is the refresh button in the showcase? They announced it and it is not there?

The issue is, that, is an ally Hunter...

Even less than Hunter? That doesn't sound right. Given that Ares is in fact the thickest heavy hull (approaching to the size of Juggernaut) and it's speed is no where near a medium hull.

Another thing is: Can we increase the power of Ares? Even a Hunter can win me in a push fight (we were catching gold). For the love of god, I'm a heavy hull, I'm supposed to be the one who push people around...

One more suggestion: make enemy Ares's orb looks different from that of ally's Ares's orb (e.g. give it a red tint). Currently, it is impossible to differentiate the two which me and my team mates have no idea whether that floating orb will heal us or kill us. I have seen countless time my team mates running away from my orb despite I was trying to heal them

Err, as a matter of fact I am switching to Ares, does this make the conflict of interest thing a different story? Given that Hornet is not a direct counter to Ares and vice versa (although Ares's OD is less likely to hit light hulls)? Also, "You only have 4 protection modules (3 against long range and one against fire), it is not like Hornet OD can do much on you on that area" Does the number of protection module even matters? Hornet's OD ignores them all anyway. I simply pick the one which I believe the corresponding turret threaten me the most.

I believe you are one of the few players who think Hornet is completely fine, and that is no surprise to me since you are a Hornet-main, despite your nickname suggests otherwise. I don't think I can convince you the other way around, given that you have played Hornet for so long, which suggests you really like it. Besides, you have a conflict of interest in this matter which makes your statement(s) not trust worthy.

The OD of this thing MUST be nerfed. Devs, I know lots of people love Hornets, especially those "e-sport pro" (honestly...), but what is the most important rule of thumb of e-sport? Balance and fair, which is something missing from Hornet. Again, THIS THING MUST BE NERFED.

I used Vulcan since the beginning when it was kind of underpower and no body was usng it, because I simply love it.

Actually, I have looked into wiki and noticed that skin containers doesn't include Ultra skins. Is that really the case or it is simply people forgot to include those in wiki? If that's really the case, then my best bet is properly wait for the showcase to update. Getting containers is simply way too slow, as the chances of getting any skins from it is ridiculously low (I was expecting something close to 1% but it seems that it is around 0.1%).

Speaking of minimalistic... pointing towards myself

As the title suggests, I would like to get the Vulcan Ultra skin. What is the "best" way to obtain it? I'm expecting to spend some real cash, but I'm not gonna spending a lot.
