I love the free for all, mass firefights....but if we are suppose be hunting for something special from the Arkfalls shouldn't I find something special besides a few key codes?

It is my understanding that drops from Arkfalls were turned off in during the beta.
This is correct.Quote:

Nothing dropped from the boss or the event except some kind of XP. If they turned off loot for such open world events during beta then that was a pretty grave error since that alone (lack of loot) made me decide to wait and not purchase the game as I have more rewarding things to do in games after 30 minutes of intense/non-stop gameplay.

Beta =/= Demo
also it should not be based off the top table... else there will be specific people who only focus on highest dps, not helping or cooperating... just doing parts that allow maximum dps to get to the top 3.
Stick to bmgs during arkfalls, thanks to constant healing + dps(switched between bmg and ar) I placed no less than 2nd in to 30+ arkfall events I've participated in.
Thanks for quoting what beta means. I had no idea what it meant to beta test something after 20 years of gaming xp. You missed my point in that turned off or not (beta or live) that shortfall lost them customers. I tested as required (the world event) and as a tester and potential customer that was my input and result.
Many people there that night said the same thing (not realizing they turned loot off). No one at the event seemed to know loot was off and Trion probably got a lot of tester feedback on that alone. "Word of mouth" now is that people get no loot from world events.
Maybe you can quote me what word of mouth does to sales for games?

It appears on the ground near the spire and everyone there that participated will see it and get to grab one.
But the loot for the final boss event hasnt been turned on yet as far as I know
