XP rewards in Ark falls completely borked and make no sense!

[Jeronan]

Tonight I did some testing by doing a bunch of Ark Falls and was astonished how horribly borked the Whole reward system still is!

Example 1: Participated in a Major Ark fall event, helped destroying 4 Crystals and then Downing the final Super Bug event.
Time spend... over half an hour.

Reward: 750 XP, 300 crips and a couple keys.

...............................

Example 2. A single Ark Fall event With a Large bug.... just arrived on the scene and just managed to empty a single Clip. Event ended within 10 Seconds after arrival.

Reward: 6000 XP and 400 or so scrips.

.....................................

Example 3. A large Ark fall event. Again 4 Crystals and End Crystal. Spend over half an hour.

reward: 500 XP and 300 or so crips and a couple keys.

.....................................

Example 4. A single Ark fall event With Crystal and mobs (99'ers). Spend over 15 minutes.

reward: 700 XP and 300 or so crips.

.....................................

Example 5. A single Ark fall event... just barely made it before finished... just shot a couple bullets. Again spend less than 10 Seconds.

reward: 6000 XP and 300 or so crips.

......................................


No Wonder People are leeching Ark falls, as the Whole XP rewarding is so borked that it's like russian roulette!
Ranking doesn't matter.... as in Example 1 and Example 3 I was in the top list. While both Ark fall events that gave me 6000 XP I didn't even show up in the top list!

Loot drops are still dissapointing as ever... With mostly white drops and an occasional green. /sigh

This needs serious and urgent fixing! As I am pretty much done doing Ark falls. As effort vs reward currently is a Complete joke!
I get 2000 XP and 250 crip by doing a single side mission that often takes just a minute or two to complete!
So for example and Reference, if I spend half an hour on side missions... I can easily rake in 20k XP and 2500 crip on side mission rewards alone. /shrug

i dunno how accurate that is tho, when i finish a major arkfall i see 10k xp flash over the big boss when he dies, then at the end a bunch more xp numbers flash on the screen, they dont show up on the player rating screen at the end tho.

so i have no idea whats up, next time i'll take a look at my xp bar and see if i am actually getting the xp that flashes briefly on the screen

i agree the loot drops are horrible, i have gotten 1 purple so far and thats from placing first about 8 times and 2nd way more

I agree.

Also, I ONLY get grenades and shields from the end of the arkfalls. Never seen anything else from the end of an arkfall.

Kills are insanely bad exp. The only thing worth shooting at in large events is the main boss. It's bad design and only functions atm because not everyone ignores the trash spawns.

Me neither. Grenades and Shields only. All white and green drops. Mostly very low rating too. :-/

Same thing applies to co-op maps, too. Length of participation doesn't match the reward at all.

I got 5k XP from the final boss.... a final stage event that lasted nearly 10 minutes mind you.
But the end reward of XP and crip at event completion is still a joke as you spend over half an hour for the total event.

Especially since on two occasions I participated for less than 10 Seconds in a Ark fall and was awarded With 6000 XP! lol.

While on example 4 there was no endboss... just a Crystal With 99'er mobs and the XP and crips was just horrible for the effort!

You don't need to do the whole event....

Only the major is worth anything.

Yeah... the least you participate the more reward you get. Exactly what the leechers are currently doing.... Just driving around riding into Ark fall events, shoot a couple bullets and off to the Next event. Rince and repeat.

So let the others do all the work by spending half an hour destroying Crystals to unlock the final Major event! /Facepalm

Not even what I mean. The rewards from the major have nothing to do with your participation in the minor. The hellbug majors are really not that long. Right now, besides a couple pursuits, there isn't really anything rewarding about the minors.

edit: and no one is leeching, it's just poor design...
