Wasted Batteries...again!

[clubside]

Attention Trion Team, how about you take a look at your encounter spawning code and save me some scrip and time.

I just got thrown out of my fifth minor arkbreak in the last two days by a Scrapper Minor Arkfall spawning in the same location before the arkbreak finished. So not only am I out 10K scrip and nearly 10 minutes of play time I missed any rewards for doing over half an encounter I initiated.

This is becoming an all too frequent occurrence. In Mount Tam by K-TAM those tiny ark bits that pay homage to Golden Axe show up ruining emergencies 50% of the time. Minor arkbreaks near Bloodbath get superseded by someone calling down a major nearby.

As long as someone is inside an arkbreak (and how come we still can't leave one like when we're trapped alone and two Viscera have called down 40 drones and we're in a hopeless situation) it should never be ended by a nearby or same location encounter popping up. Either check your timers or remove the code that prematurely ends arkbreaks whichever's easier.

This happens on all platforms but is especially painful on the PS3 where you can randomly be disconnected entering one (again wasting a battery). In the last week 12 of the 20 batteries I placed went to waste (for me at least) and while some came from Daily Arkhunter Reward chests I paid for 12, that's over 100K scrip out the window thanks to your encounter generating code.

[hey u]

In my time I'm out some 400k+ yep. Your best hope is to be in a party of people so if one of you make it in they shoot off invites to the people who got booted out. It's a pain to do so much but it works most of the time.

also try to join in as a party with like 3 or 4 in the group then when others invite there friends in your not the single that gets booted

as for the norm response we get ... well you get scrip for free when doing almost anything in the game, so you can make that up easy... so once again thank you trion for trying to fix these bugs and caring so much about the fan base playing the game

[OttawaREDBLACKS]

you guys don't get daily/ weekly ark rewards?

Remember to recycle your batteries in the proper places. Do not throw them in the garbage, they are flammable and hazardous waste material.

yea they do if you read the post... but they must like calling them down I guess so they paid scrip for more.

It is working as intended.

1.) Some of us don't have groups. TRION borked group play for a lot of people by sitting on their hands regarding the chat app in game. Many of us had groups when we came in with friends. The chat was skr3wed so many people got fed up and left. Leaves the survivors alone among strangers.
2.) I'm an Ark Hunter, not a corporation. I should be able to be an independent contractor. And I want to be able to have a fair shot at playing the game based on my abilities, and not the RNG controlling my access.

• I may get my azz kicked by crowds of badguys but it's my choice to try when I go it alone.
• I resent getting kicked from an instance by a borked game mechanic code that pitches me out of the instance. That's the broken game code I bought working against me in conjunction with the badguys in the game.

3.) I played solo around Mt Tam emergencies and avoided the Incursion Fiascos much of yesterday (many hours of game play). My scrip increases was ~200 at a time for things like pheromone emergencies, and mostly whatever the mutants had in their pockets - mostly in the 3-7 scrip range. I managed to amass about 20K scrip including selling any blue stuff I got. It aint much for a day, and I got barely enough weapons upgrades to even speak of.

The point is, I'm not rolling in scrip to p!zz it away on wasted batteries at breaks that I get thrown out of, and when I get thrown out of an event there's no payoff.
And there's no payoff when I get pitched out of a broken or lagged Arkfail event, either.

Other than that, I'm not crying that I'm not making enough playing the way I prefer to play so I can avoid getting p!zzed off by broken mechanics, but the attitude of TRION that I ought to put myself into broken incursions and breaks so I can take my place in line and spend my time with the rest of the people looking at the log-in screen is just mind numbing. Maybe if TRION spent less time firing devs, they'd be able to spend less time wondering why the dwindling player base can't be bothered to play the game on lagging servers anymore.

That is a very ecological advice Yes sir.

Ha!
