With the amount of glitched arkfalls and the already stupid small chance to get oranges from boxes you guys yet again, Reduce the ability to attain keys at a normal rate! Why would you reduce major arkfall spawns? Wtf were you thinking.... I'm ego level 3200 plenty wealthy and about to quit. In no way shape or form can you give me a good reason for reducing major arkfalls spawn rate.
I totally agree... Oh wait they have lockboxes for sale ..... Jk accidentally bought one and got all green for 240 bits ...smh.
Do you have reading issue?
Both arkfalls I went to today so far were glitched then after that no more spawned so I stopped playing for a while. All I am doing now is contracts and grinding final pursuits. I thought the number of arkfalls would still mean there was active ones not had any xp or keycodes today.
I'm at around 1500 EGO and stopped playing a few days ago just because there's nothing I can do except grind pursuits. I had 3 (not an exaggeration) glitched Destroy hellbug arkfalls in an hour and just decided to call it quits.
I like the game when it works but the only fun way to get key codes is now hit or miss and the DLC isn't opening any new areas so I doubt I'll be playing nearly as much as I used to. Gotta love that happy wars and fable 3 are free on the xbox arcade section, though. Maybe I'll come back when Trion actually acknowledges that the ark falls are glitched and state they're fixing them instead of not posting anything... I know, but a guy can dream.
I got a damn good reason. because so few are playing now one less arkfall means it looks like there is more people playing than there is to keep what little of moral up til end of July. Allready heard about Sci Fi getting letters from gamers quiting the show over this game. If trion is effecting show ratings they might be in deep doo dooQuote:

Over the next few months Trion will be introducing fuel system for vehicles, to travel from Mount Tam to San Francisco in a car will cost you about 5k scrip.
Fast Travel points will now incur a 10k scrip fee every use.
The intentions of these are to make the game more immerse, to feel like you're actually in the reality of the game; Your EGO will no longer only alert you if an Arkfall is nearby but rather you'll receive an EGO message from someone in the world who has discovered an arkfall, everytime.
Players will not be able to see arkfalls in the map anymore since you don't have omnipotence to update such data in real time. I mean, if you're alone in the San Fran, how do you know an arkfall has just hit Madera?
The fuel system is to incur people to walk on feet to exhaust themselves both physically and mentally to replicate the distress your character will invoke as they cross the Bay Area.
Fear not as multiple seats will still be available, however for every additional player in the seat will cost an additional 2k scrip; So for the new Raptor vehicle with 4 people in it, you will be paying roughly 10 to 12k scrip. This is so everyone pitches in and contributes to the cost of fuel, or choose to walk and save scrip.
Ammo Caches will still remain in the game, except you will be required to pay 200 scrip for a full reload; you must first go through a series of check out menus when accessing an ammo cache and a 20 second delay for the online scrip process to accept your funds, there you will have a one time use for that one specific ammo crate.
Arkfall bosses are now up to 300% more stronger, especially the giant bug wasp one; where its gulp will instantly kill you - but this has been balanced as it will endure an animation of engulfing you, so other players may take advantage of this window of opportunity.
You will only get 1 self revive a day, but with 100 bits you can buy 3 more self revives.
Outfits will now be available at specific designer NPC's, except they require various materials and an extensive fee of up to 800k scrip to create the costume. (i.e; A new form of Scrapyard Engineer will now require you kill 500 99'ers and 1000 hellbugs for the materials)
Shield delays have been tripled and recharge rates halved, so that it takes a realistic approach; as we felt that drawing energy that fast from the Earth didn't make much sense as it would imply a major outlet of electric current to go through your body at a deadly rate, so we've toned the shield benefits down to give a more 'come on you stupid fu#$@! shield!' response with our players, making them sweat in their seats as the Blacklung comes around that truck corner, dashing through the grass, coming to ra#$ your butt!
Upon death you will not incur a 180 scrip fee, but instead a 10k scrip fee due to medical costs. But within' this time you will be required to wait an hour so that evac arrives (How were they called? Your EGO called them.); your health and shield benefits will further half their positive attributes and numbers for up to 6 hours until you fully recover.
This is just a small piece of the pie as to what Trion is going to bring out. I hope you enjoy how much better this game will become. I know I can't wait!
I'm hanging on for dear life. I log in every night, maybe do a couple arkfalls, one or two of the daily contracts. I usually end up standing around at the Overpass while I watch youtube. Sometimes I get disgusted with how long the HUD and start menu/map takes to load, or get disconnected from an glitchfall, and I turn off the PS3. The co-op missions have become increasingly buggy, seems like too often I join and people are standing around with no boss pop, or a door won't open.
My clan has gone from 500 people to maybe 70. Half the time when I type a clan message, it doesn't work. When it does work no one responds. There is no real reason to do anything in a static group much less a clan activity anyway.
Can't say I'm excited about the DLC. Wait 4-5 more weeks for a new glitchfall, a new truck , and new melee?
I'm increasingly frustrated that some of my pursuits are glitched. Can't complete my san fran pursuit because 2 side missions never became available. I had a support ticket open and after a week it was closed and I got a "Thank you, come again" response.
The fact that I log in every night after work is a testament to how fun the shooting can be in this game, but 30 min game sessions are starting to make me realize there isn't much left to this game.
