Possible major arkfall ideas

Before I post these ideas please note that they are just things that I think would be cool and I understand there are reasons they may not happen, so don't start throwing a bunch of facts my way to prove me wrong.

My first idea is a dark matter arkfall where at the end there is a monolith (nerfed obviously) or something of the sort. Torc said that the monolith taken out at the bridge was just one model, so I'm sure there are others that can be thrown out.

My other idea is a fallen ship like in the premiere of the show. Now the size of it would be an issue and I'm not sure how it would be beaten. The only thing that comes to mind would be taking out the core like a scarab from Halo, but who wants to just sit there and shoot at an immobile object.

Those are my two ideas so far, and I think they'd be a nice change of pace from the current arkfalls. Again, I understand that they may not be credible.

Good ideas, but a nerfed monalith? Nah just make it killable and let the mons of ark hunters do the shooting, also make it so if your unlucky to get cought by the monalith's main weapon ( direct hit) then your toast. Only way to survive maybe is a high capacity shield. Would make things fun.

For raiders, how about a hulker nest or something?

The crashed ship idea sounds cool, but maybe make it a defense type objective where you have to fight off hordes of powerful enemies, like a co op instance on steroids for example.

My first idea would be to make a Major arkfall LOOK LIKE A MAJOR ARKFALL. Arkfalls are supposed to be broken parts of ship, not gigantic hellbugs!!!

How about an Major Arkfall were it has 99ers and raiders fighting each other for it then after you beat most of them Dark Matter comes and tries to kill you and what is left of both the other groups.

Hell you can even add in mutents to the first part to make it even more crazy.

I know for a fact they want more arkfall types, so hopefully they have plans for major arkfalls as well.

Hellbugs from the sky.

Really like the idea of the dark matter arkfall. I think the monolith was under used in the campaign, should be able to fight one of these things. Maybe even make it an elite arkfall thats harder than the rest. Difficulty in this game is somewhat lacking.

Also there definitely should be proper arkfalls. Ships we can walk around and salvage. Verios44 had a excellent thought here with making it a defense style arkfall where you have to protect your salvage against other factions. Could have a random element where the attacking force could be raiders, 99ers, dark matter etc.

By "dark matter arkfall" you mean an arkfall attacked by dark matter ? Cause space Dark Matter, that doesn't exist.

Well i say that, but Hellbug arkfall type shouldn't even exist. An hellbug requieres water to live and gulanite as reproduction mean. Hellbugs themselves are part of actual fauna, as being an evolution via terraformation.

Why you got hellbugs spawning via a spatial rock, that's (still) a mystery. Or it's a cheap mean to say the rock attract Hellbugs ? Can't really say.

I had an idea based a little of the live action arkfall trailer they did way back when.

When the arkfall starts, there's a "arkfall signal" beacon on the map, hunters go there, then it becomes a bit of a race/chase where you are chasing down the arkfall from the sky. Perhaps the first handful of players that get there first get some sort of benefit, like picking up super weapons or picking up more ark salvage along the way

It's a bit of an unreasonable request because of the map issue and how the players get in or whether or not they participate in the race (after the ark falls, the race beacon is gone), but i believe it really adds to the immersion of being an ark hunter.

In the live action trailer, that old guy screams "ARKFALLLLLL" and everyone starts booking it and it looks really cool and even Nolan in the first episode chases down a falling arkfall, and we sometimes see that, but it might be cool to see it a little more. Maybe when the map gets bigger

The arkfalls that are in the game are big chunks of gulanite which attracts hellbugs, they don't fall from the sky, that's why dense arkfalls attract bigger hellbugs. Also, EGO says that they're biting holes in the gulanite, so they arnt pieces of the ark ships like they should be

Indeed. As for yukidrew, I would love to see the falling arkfalls here and there, or at least a smaller version.

I think they should put in an arkfall that works like a co-op instance. As the ark is plummeting towards the earth a message pops up on the hud alerting everyone that it is coming. From the time of impact, groups of arkhunters have around 30 minutes to complete the instance. There could be 4-5 different designs for the ships that would be the setting and have multiple enemy types fighting one another inside. Rewards could be similar to existing instances but with random loot drops from the boss.

Another Major Arkfall idea: Corgi Arkfall's.

My biggest foreseeable problem with the ships is the size. I feel like that would really narrow down where that arkfall could actually happen but it'd still be awesome.
