    Turn off emergencies to reduce lag

    Currently the emergencies serve no real purpose. First the core rewards were removed and then the salvage, so now you only get XP which can be had everywhere else. In addition to reducing lag, it would also eliminate the hazards afflicting the paper thin vehicles.

    The dev's should be able to turn them off quickly and without interruption(like they did ark chests and sieges).
    A reduction in lag should be quickly realized.

    I agree with this. They serve no purpose. You get no rewards for doing them and they are just an obstruction.

    Well if they turned them off, the world would be really barren, thats like saying to turn off all pedestrians in GTA V... Will it really improve server performance, probably/probably not because when you look at it Defiance 2050 has less happening in it than OG Defiance yet they perform roughly the same...

    Not only this, but they'd need to replace it with something else. Every bar in clan activities gives stat benefits depending on how far each is progressed.

    While I HATE it when Emergencies are in the way of time trials, they don't really bother me otherwise. They give a token amount of script, but they provide another thing to do. Another distraction from the current meta of farming Arkfalls, Arkbreaks, Co-Ops, and Sieges.

    If you got salvage reward from them they may be worth doing but whats the point in getting exp from them since exp is worthless at ego50

    Weapons leveling.

    You want the game to be nothing but an Arkfall or Siege every 45 minutes, and nothing on the map or on the clock in between?
    These are just my opinions.
    I have lots of opinions.
    Some of them, on occasion, people have agreed with.
    I do not trust those people.

    Does mission xp count towards weapon leveling though?

    If you havent maxed out classes and want to avoid the crazyness, emergencies are a great option.

    Using the weapon to damage badguys counts towards weapon leveling.
    Killing badguys counts towards pursuit kill req's.

    Read the pursuits to see what players can be leveling/acquiring by playing through the map.
    I've come across several vets who forgot that stuff.
