Last night a incursion finished at Kenn Farm and in Zone Chat comes someone bragging they finished first in their car...
This is a bad as the arkfall car issue back in the day. More and more it is impossible to see anything from people ( i use that term lightly) drive their cars in circle around and around driving over anything in their way.
Trion , you need to set he little yellow circles to be the same as the little red ones...your car hits something and goes boom immediately.
I personally don't think they would do anything as hitting a trembler is already instant death. What he probably means is that he and his buddies call their cars down at a spawn point and shoot infectors at them to spawn bugs to attack.
What I don't understand, is why people can sit there complaining about the lag all day, and then spawn a lag inducing vehicle every other minute.. Just baffling...
Sorry, but if this person did finish the incursion in first place using only their vehicle (doubtful), it means that everyone else there, including you, really, really sucks.Quote:

Not an issue. They already explode when hitting a certain amount of mobs, elites usually kill the car instantly. You're complaining about something without even witnessing it?
I just did a incursion and watched a guy drive his car back and forth thru 80% of the emergencies killing things. So no..I am not complaining about something I have not seen. I am complaining about players driving their cars thru incursions like they use to at arkfalls.Quote:

Tell me about it.Quote:

It is still a problem.
This weekend i actually drove my car into the Incursions-end on Kenn's Farm. I was late, it was just before contracts changed and i didn't do any other Incursion that day, so time was ticking. Wanted to kill something really quick to at least score something in that last minute and complete that contract.
Didn't got very far. A few yards within the yellow circle i must've hit something and my car went BOOM! Scoring a good 300 points when i was thrown out of the car, so not really much. Considering there is a delay on the vehicle after it gets smashed, and it can't be respawned immediately there is no way one person can become 1rst at the leaderboard by only using his car. Hitting three or four regular Afflicted in a short time will already blow up a Dodge, not to mention one single Elite. So i would say the 'Bragger' is a liar.
Or, like stated above, that particular Incursion was a noob-festival.
If you are in/on a vehicle it will blow up easily, but it seems if they are spawned only they work as barricades/bug spawns/bmg link pts. This is becoming a huge annoyance on XBox NA Kenn Farm Inc/Siege.
Only vehicles that I know of that can hit a hulker twice without blowing up are the Titan and the Raptor, and if both the driver has all the correct car perks equipped he can get one more hit in before going boom, if you have the max of 2 in the titan with the correct perks that gives you 2 extra hits instead of one. The Raptor holds 4 so 4 with all the extra hits and maybe you can hit a hulker like six times.Quote:

Afterall when stuff is killed by a vehicle, only the driver gets the points.Btw there are plenty of things at the incursions that will blow up your car, he just avoided them. Heck when I am paying attention and everything loads right I can avoid all the barriers at arkfalls if I'm in a duni. But what you don't get, is that the ONLY way he could have got good points with his car, was if he had atleast one friend in it with him and both had the vehicle perks equipped. But then he would have to stay near a few players and runover the crowds they are shooting. And then that would still only land him in like 8th unless everyone REALLY sucks! But there is always one of the High kill crowd at incursion seiges on Xbox, or atleast at all the ones I have been at. Seing Beiber in first makes me cringe everytime, even though I know he's not the real, little sissy freak!
Only vehicles that stay spawned more than like 30 seconds is a raptor, and I just don't see many Raptors around. So even though it can be annoying, I'm not really sure it's a big deal.Quote:

Darn Huskies and their curiosity!
simple death penalty if your car is destroyed or you spawn it in the yellow
That would screw everybody who just drove there, which would be 99% of the players. I know I don't get out of my car before reaching the cirles. I drive into them, then get out, like most players!Quote:

None. I only hard freeze about once a week and it is caused by playing my system for over 6 hours straight. Btw the vehicles aren't the problem. It's the score******, who want to have the best score no matter what, that are the problem. Remove vehicles, bmgs and detonators from the incursions/sieges like everyone wants. What's next? Grenades and rocket launchers? Then Ars/smg/slmg? Then automatic pistols and sem-auto snipers? Then what Bas? You'd be left with everyone using magnums, bullrushes, wolfhounds and northstar flares. Then people would want the flares and wolfies removed. So all we would be able to use is a bullrush or magnum. Where is the fun in EVERYBODY having to use the exact same 2 weapons?Quote:

I didn't have any car perks and I didn't ram into elites like an idiot, which seem to be the excuses people are posting for why it can not work. If I had the Titan and car perks I imagine could be a lot more effective.
Is something that needs fixing imo.
The problem is everytime people say that, Trion nerfs the shields on our cars, so bad that even a skitterling can blow it up with one hit.Quote:

Actually people are asking for swords to be nerfed as well.
I see what you mean.Dont use a sword myself but dont understand why people call for things to be nerfed everyone has access to the same weapons.High DPS nano weapons are best at sieges i use a fire tacmag pulsar on the hulker which works well and throw hatchling nades towards other synths
I use a 9 clip Northstar flare with natural rad nano, an extralife lmg? with fire nano, and purple hatchling nades lately.Quote:
