Currently the emergencies serve no real purpose. First the core rewards were removed and then the salvage, so now you only get XP which can be had everywhere else. In addition to reducing lag, it would also eliminate the hazards afflicting the paper thin vehicles.
The dev's should be able to turn them off quickly and without interruption(like they did ark chests and sieges).
A reduction in lag should be quickly realized.
I agree with this. They serve no purpose. You get no rewards for doing them and they are just an obstruction.
They would have to remove them from clan progress as well .
Well if they turned them off, the world would be really barren, thats like saying to turn off all pedestrians in GTA V... Will it really improve server performance, probably/probably not because when you look at it Defiance 2050 has less happening in it than OG Defiance yet they perform roughly the same...
Not only this, but they'd need to replace it with something else. Every bar in clan activities gives stat benefits depending on how far each is progressed.Quote:

If you got salvage reward from them they may be worth doing but whats the point in getting exp from them since exp is worthless at ego50

Does mission xp count towards weapon leveling though?
If you havent maxed out classes and want to avoid the crazyness, emergencies are a great option.
Using the weapon to damage badguys counts towards weapon leveling.Quote:

Read the pursuits to see what players can be leveling/acquiring by playing through the map.
I've come across several vets who forgot that stuff.
Thanks for the unrelated reply.
I disagree, they should have emergencies give salvage (even if the enemy mobs themselves don't drop salvage). Roads without emergencies would be too barren as noted.
May I ask which reply you'd like to have erased, and which forum user you'd like to have banned for it?Quote:

Just my two cents.
Never had them not load fast enough, but had hellbugs pop up from the ground right in front of me. X
pull the plug on 2050, full port old defiance to ps4 . a lot less lag and issues.
Old D-13 trick for that:Quote:

i tried it and it works miraculously, no lag, no crashes, no frustration, the perfect Trion game. /sarcasm
Yes i know not constructive at all :D
I have yet to see that the 'Roadside Emergencies' actually get counted for any of the Factions.
Hell half the time I don't even get a pop up for anything I do in the game saying, "You got a faction tick' of some sort.
Even 7th Legion messages are suspect, because the Devs turned off that information in the Statistics UI.
Oh, my bad... I'm usually too busy trying to dodge the mighty skitterlings running in the road to take the few seconds required to scan the mini map for ammo crate squares on/near the road.Quote:

Let us play the game the way we want Trion.

Maybe move em off the roads? like you drive by, chicks like "hey ppl are in trouble over there" but unless you go there nothing spawns in? happy compromise?
Or just spawn them to the side of roads outright, like those random events that spawn in the middle of fields in the middle of nowhere.Quote:
