Count me in.
I agree that it would suck to lose your vehicle in a time trial, but we are Ark Hunters not Jeff Gordon, this game is about Arkfalls more than time trials. As far as getting ammo is concerned, that's also collateral damage, but a nice 50m despawn range could probably make that better, and I think we would all agree that having to walk 50m out to get on your vehicle is a small price to pay for not dealing with noobs in their pre-order cars running everything over.

The Time Trial I was running had me going through 2 arkfall areas..one I was able to go slightly to the left of the crystal and avoid most of it, but when the one Major end one formed the path gave me the option to either zoom between 2 of the outer ring crystals or go down a hill and have to make a long loop back to the path for the race.
Tho I agree the vehicles running around are a nuisance and should have something done I don't like the idea of making a person not interested in doing the arkfall have to wait to continue doing the mission they want until it's over. Given how often they pop up.
I personally don't understand the need to use a vehicle to up your kills since I'm by no means a great player and manage to be in the top 5 for dmg kills for the majority of arkfalls I've participated in.
Have them despawn after a set time or not have the kills and damage count towards the Arkfall event, but don't have it destroyed as soon as you enter the area. Give motorists enough time to drive through the area if they need, and have the time it counts before your vehicle is destroyed stay active for a time so people don't zoom back and forth through the area.

I have submitted feedback about this in game as well.
Totally agree, the arkfalls where the skitters have to create weak spots people just run right over them right over it shouldn't be an instant kill of the vehicle but it does need to die if it stays longer then 20-30 seconds.
Well most of the time after that first hit the smaller vehicles will explode on the next impact with any of the bigger mobs. Maybe they just need to increase impact damage.Originally Posted by mr_mover34
The problem with the mobs attacking the vehicle is the fact that leads to more exploiting, as in hey get it to chase a vehicle while we shoot it. The other being if it goes after a vehicle and that vehicle drives out of a certian range with it chasing it, the mob will reset back to full health.
I think a lot of the problem is the crappy chat system. I am sure if people were yelled at in chat then half would quit doing the donuts. I think most are just blissfully ignorant of the problems they are caused and just need to be told. Since the chat is crappy it is hard to tell them. You are always going to have the socially inept that will do it just because it makes people mad.
The other assumption is the xp signs for running things over. I think people think this works towards their vehcile skill and they nee dto run things ove rot level up. When it is distance traveled that levels you. The xp you receive is towards your next EGO power level and even then it is penalized for using a vehicle and not a weapon.
Now there is also times when using a vehicle for killign arkfalls is helpful. Like when you are with onyl a couple players and you are on the instant death phase with half dozen archers and the anthill type. When there is few players they tend to all focus on one person and it becomes hard to dodge that much crap.
I'll reiterate what someone else said:
If you don't want the vehicles there because they're killing skitterers that are needed to break the crystal, then those same people will be shooting them if their vehicle is gone. They need to fix the chat so that it's easier to get the people to stop killing the skitterers.
I know I'll be slightly upset if I can't use my vehicle at an Arkfall anymore - I'm then forced to run to the ammo crate and back, and I can't just pull out the nomad and steamroll over the annoying as hell archers when there's too many of them at once.
False. You get vehicle XP for killing things, for boosting, for jumping and for distance traveled. I was ****ing around earlier with my Nomad on one of the 'kill waves of hellbugs' Arkfalls and got a full 75% into my next level of Rollers. And I'm level 18 in them.

However, rather than just despawn the vehicles, all you have to do is one little thing.
You are unable to spawn vehicles within the smaller red circle.
Any vehicle within the circle takes damage, increasing by range toward the center.
If you want to drive donuts, then you run the risk of dying.
Oh, and any kills are not counted toward the kill count.
I'll /sign this. I hate when people keep running into the bugs, pushing them out of the area and causing them to reset. Whether they're doing it intentionally or not, it needs to stop. Vehicles should be despawned automatically or destroyed when you run into one of the bugs. I don't care about that bs about "gotta get to the ammo fast", the ammo should be moved closer.
I disagree with the idea of not alllowing vehicles in there. It's in the spirit of the game to have a car / buggy show up near the arkfall once in a while. Even the trailer has a bunch of quads jumping into the battle.
I'd consider it "dumbing down" the game if they have to auto dismount you from your vehicle because they don't trust you to do it yourself.
