Arkfall Code of Ethics

It'd be cool if we could set up some sort of Arkhunter code of brotherhood or something. What I mean is, basic rules that everyone tries to abide by to make things better for everyone. Most of these will be simple things most of us do anyway - for example, my proposals are:

1) No killing skitterlings when you want the weak spots (duh)

2) Once arriving at an arkfall, try to help dispatch warriors, archer, et cetera, before going to work on the crystal. For the first few arkhunters there, this won't be quite as applicable, but for the ones who arrive afterward it would be a good gesture to help clear up some mob congestion.

3) Don't linger around loot drops. Most people want to grab it and go, and it seems that loot drops in very similar spots for everyone. When people get clustered, it's hard to get it and get back to work.

4) Take out blast pods and archers first, since they can disrupt progress so easily.

5) Don't drive around the arkfall area in your vehicle, unless no weak spot is needed, such as in Hellbug and Scrapper Destruction - FenianB/EmoPyroNecrosis

6) Revive anyone who is down. They're your comrades. - Ookami Soldier

7) Try not to use grenade launchers and/or grenades near the crystal in skitterling-reliant
arkfalls. - Jackalom

...and you get the idea. Discus what else should be considered, and even why some of our ideas might not be the best. Remember to be respectful - sometimes ideas aren't considerate of further implications (including mine!) so not everything that sounds good IS good.

Happy hunting!

Oh please, let people do whatever the hell they want, I kill skitters ALL THE TIME just because I like to, don't like then ****.

Raisin bran.

i agree please get out of vehicles BEFORE entering Arkfalls

1 and 4 without a doubt. exception to #1 kill all the skitterlings you want, when its not destroy the crystal arkfall. for the simple reason they have to keep attacking the crystal to keep making weak spots. i know ego can get annoying, but for this she doesn't repeat for no reason

Let me fix this post....

"When entering Hellbug Destruction, or Scrapper Destruction((Minor Arkfall applicable Only)) Please disembark your car, otherwise feel free to drive into any Elite, or Advanced Weapon Carrying Enemy"

Post fixed.

You are now free to proceed killing things mercilessly.

You forgot the most important part of arkfalls, REVIVING people. Hate watching people walk over the fallen (Dropping the T-B on friends is ok), takes all of 3-5 secs and if you hold the revive button down while dying yourself, they are still revived. Common courtesy - revive others.

add "revive down players" , i usually just being left to rot

Added, thanks!

also add "please do NOT use auto-revive when a player is attempting to revive you"

This comment, I agree with, but theirs a small issue with it, It goes both ways... ESPECIALLY During Major Scrapper Arkfalls..
At one point, a guy was down, needed revive, but he stood IN FRONT of the Armature, expecting a revive... anytime someone started, it'd pound the ground, and send the person flying. I've also seen people stand in front of a Forger, again down, expecting a revive. Simple fix, crawl away from any big ;auncher baddies, ones that can hult a revive when you go down.

Side note... I wish their was a Major Raider, and Major 99er Arkfall... maybe they could make a new variant of the Motherload, call it "Living Capacitor" cause they said the 99ers are overloading Bolina because of a "New Massive Capacitor their building in mine 99" and Motherload has capacitors lodged in him, so be fun to have that as a major arkfall boss. :3 then with Raider have like 2 or 3 Hulkers come in xD

Good point, but I think most people will use their discretion. Like the holy grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "Let it go, Indy".

Do the ladies have to have their own separate code or do we get to tag along with the brotherhood? LOL (just joking, no feminist here). Totally agree, most especially regarding the vehicles and reviving! I detest the trucks that sit on top of you so you can't see anything and people walking away after you get killed reviving THEM!

the only problem i see is the vehicals exp the big truck ..when two people are driving that big thing around the arkfall the whole time its annoying. other than that let people kill waht they want or shot a rock ...as far as picking people up ...well thats a feat and armor reward so why wouldnt u?

here one i propose ..when at the end of the fight everyone stop shooting and let me have the kill shot?

ok. Just make everyone play the way you want and thats it.Your way is the best and Only way to play. who cares about freedom of playstyle,different gamers,gaming styles right? Let's just all be the same and force those who do not comply out. I think there was a political party that had that same idea, be like us or die.

Amen to that, Ark-Brethren!

Wah,wah,wah.boo hoo hoo

Very good set of rules of conduct.
This dude abides

I would suggest an exemption on the "exit your vehicle before entering an Arkfall": Please exit your vehicle prior to entering an Arkfall, unless your entrance is truly spectacular.

I was working an Arkfall when, out of nowhere, this black Challenger just dropped down from the sky. It was like watching Ash's car dropping out of the air at the end of Evil Dead 2. As soon as I stopped laughing, I went right back to work on the nasty critters. If you're gonna be a derp, at least be an AWESOME derp!

true, I do like seeing the jumps coming in. but seeing the jump an the roll outs are better imho at least

Agreed. Great post. Same goes for uncontrolled grenade launchers and rocket launches with the bounce feature. Do not use in skitterling dependent ark falls.

Regarding auto revives and the like, sometimes people cannot see each other and sometimes the game is missing half the elements including players.

Been following these rules before they came out, its common sense, but people have no common courtesy.

common sense and common courtesy isn't so common anymore

Hahaha, that's cool and true. I hit a major jump into one the other day and shouted to my party, "MY HEROIC ENTRY IS NIGH!"

Good one, but I might ammend it with just asking people to not ue aunchers/grenades on the crystal. Outside the crystal I don't think it's too much of a big deal, is it?

You're either a horrible troll or are the type of person that doesn't grasp context.

Uhm, no one said that. There is no fascism here, just a democratic discussion on a code you can either choose or not choose to abide by, agree or disagree.

If you feed them they think they have powers, if you ignore them their like fairies (Fae) they'll disappear into the mists...
told you, you'ld get trolls, dangit stupid troll snare never working....grumbles as walks away...sonava

again, some one does not agree with your opinion so you bash. Your thoughts are the only ones worth anything your way is best. are you german by the way?
