ok, now on bandwagon BAN vehicles at arkfalls

[Pizzarugi]

That is not a half bad compromise idea. But I still don't see it as an issue.

Then refer to the extra bit I edited in. I normally like to solo crystals myself, more stuff to kill and no one around to kill vital mobs. And the less players there are in the crystals, the easier the enemies and the crystal becomes.

never really got into the discussion in the other threads about this subject

This is all I need to see to know that whatever you have to say doesn't matter.
You KNOW there are other threads on this subject, yet you still feel the need to start your own?

Stated in a previous thread..

What happens if one were just mindlessly driving by on the way to a mission or to their friend when they come up to an arkfall? should the vehicle instantly despawn? I know that would annoy me when I am heading to a mission and my car suddenly disappears.

The circle around an arkfall is what, like 10m? It would add maybe 2 seconds extra to your drive time and would prevent 1 troll from screwing up 20 people's fun. A vehicle in an arkfall adds nothing, doesn't help slightly, and only makes the whole thing take even longer than it needs to. There's no benefit to having one there. Just like you can't have a vehicle on a co-op mission, you shouldn't have one at an arkfall.

I hate the idea of despawning in the arkfall circle...I do a good bit of dps so I'm usually in close with my saw to get less bloom...if I need amo, I spawn my quad and book to the ammo crate...I also ride to get a better angle on a weakspot...usually I see 1 or 2 rides going around well away from the central action, on majors anyway...maybe a 5 sec spawn limit would work, but I don't think I would like to see it implemented. We as gamers should just chastise thoes in game when it gets out of hand....in game....not by changing a major game mechanic...perhaps the 0 damage would work....I don't know...

I only use vehicles if its a wave Arkfall and under 5 people at the Arkfall. Yesterday, only two of us ran all the Hellbug wave Arkfalls in san fran until we came to the boss, then a few more people showed. I had 310 kills and i think he had 293. Funny thing is I was rewarded with 2 green shields and yet another Infector I DONT USE. Please drop more SAW LMGs ffs

I will trade you your infector for an orange scattershot rifle. I suck at targeting it doesnt work for me. However, my sporeshot does.

Since I have never been to an arkfall, Can anything else in an arkfall be killed other than Skitterlings with a vehicle? I find it very effective when I die alot to just run down the freaking mutants with my challenger. Best solution: inside the arkfall ring, skitterlings can't be killed by a vehicle.

want to be a little more specific on what happened and what talking about

Not talking about the giant ark fall circle but the smaller darker red crystal radius areas

The person was driving Cass' huge monster truck around and around at these

the skitterling killing is annoying but the biggest factor was being unable to see warriors, flying bombers, and poop shooting pylon things

LOL! Sorry guys, that was me last night. mcwjimbo is correct, it's cass' big apc-type truck you use in a mission where you drive cass' truck to an area to continue the mission. I've just had that mission active for a couple days and have been driving around the map kiling stuff and getting my roller rank up.

On the other hand, I think I was actually quite helpful in alot of ways because as I drove around in circles, I was killing alot of the big flying skittles and the warrior skittles pretty quickly. We did complete the major arkfall with a few minutes to spare. So, I would not be so quick to say that it was really having a total negative effect on the progress of the arkfall.

Wrong. Dumb assessment. Large vehicles can kill large enemies quick, giving everyone more time to focus fire on the objective.

I gotta admit, Vehicles in Arkfalls can be funny as hell sometimes though.

Especially when you're the driver...

Trololo!

Killing a warrior or archer takes all of 3 seconds if you just shoot it. It takes substantially longer than that to spawn in a car and ram it. Meanwhile the people shooting the warrior are only shooting the warrior, idiots in cars are killing skitterlings making the crystal take longer to destroy.
