    Robbed on Progenitor Kill shot....grr

    As the Major Scrapper Arkfall ended today (and god knows how rare they are) I say "CRITICAL KILL" as the Progenitor went down and I yelled out because I thought I had finally hit that elusive kill shot to finish my Legendary Arkfall Pursuit...but no...no update...and sure enough no credit for the damned kill shot. WTF?

    I know how you feel - it took several of these Arkfalls to get the kill shot. And I got lucky on that one because it was mostly empty... I mean it WAS 5 in the morning...

    I was having trouble getting the killshot to complete that pursuit also but I was finally able to complete it fairly easy when I would switch to a tachmag pulsar when I saw the boss at about 25% health and then I would get into position and would fire when I saw the boss HP bar almost empty

    That's what I used + Overcharge

    That doesn't mean you got the kill shot, that means you were shooting it in the critical spot when it died.

    Try overcharge and a wolfhound. Tried saw, SMG and nothing, swapped over to a wolfhound and got it on the first try.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    In game with the character you did this with, submit a support ticket (I assume this can be done on the PC) or go into live chat and tell them what happened. They should be able to give you the credit for it-they did this for me. Don't just get angry right away about this stuff when it happens, go and ask them to fix it and see if they can or will. I've done so with reward armor that I earned but didn't get, the progenitor kill, and other stuff and they've fixed it.

    When you "kill" someone with a critical shot, the client doesn't wait for server to confirm the kill, it assumes based on its own calculations and proudly displays to you the critical kill message. This is fine for 99.99% of the time since normal mobs don't get targeted by so many people at once. The reason for this is to reduce the bandwidth requirements.

    But getting the pursuit or not is a server side calculation. And only one person will get the pursuit.

    So basically four or five people will, according to the client's internal calculations (which does not take other people's attacks into its calculation), score a critical kill. But in reality, as far as the server is concerned, only the actual last shot can get the credit.

    this shtako is a joke. I only did Scrapper Arkfall just to get this part of the pursuit went they were more frequent... but that was also when the arms' bottom heat vent was bugged. Now i hardly see the Scrapper arkfalls.

    At least you had a chance to shoot the progenitor. I've been playing for several hours each day for at least a week now, and I've yet to see a Major Scrapper Arkfall. It is as if they have been nearly removed for NA PS3.
