Anyone else depressed with Ark falls in game after watching the show?

[Barrik]

Just watched the show on DVR today, and I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but is anyone else a bit depressed with how arkfalls play out in game compared to what was depicted in the show? I know I was.

It seems like Trion took something that could have been really epic & awesome, and instead turned it into a loot pinata. Instead of how they are now, they could have been made into little mini-dungeons, or a scavenger hunt through a hulking wreck. Anything other than what they are now.

A lot of the Arkfalls don't even seem to really make sense in the game. What do the giant hellbugs & what not have to do with Arkfalls? Am I tearing open the corpse of the hellbug queen after the arkfall, and pulling out a Terasphere?

Just really seems like trion dropped the ball with this one.

LOL, mini dungeons would be counter to the idea of everyone getting involved at once.

I know. It's kind of like busting your butt to do a lot of damage and kill things and then get a lame Cracker Jack prize at the end...like a fake tattoo that smudges.

I would have to agree with u on this!! I think some sorta dungen would have been epic but there would prob b more lag in a setting like that with as many people there are around an Arkfall

They do need to add more arkfall events if they're going to promote them like this. We're still missing raider/99er/mutant/Dark Matter events.

I wish they would make the Arkfalls like how the ending of the show was. To me that was one of the most epic scenes I have seen in awhile and that would have been a perfect way to connect us to the actual series. In a sense, but that is just my personal opinion

[Saber024]

why not an arkfall event where players SHOULD protect the crystal for hungry hellbug attackers or looting raiders, kind of like a Horde mode?

50 players fending off 20 Monarchs..... spells like a G-R-I-N-D.

Yea Ark falls are cheap . I wish they made a more similar system a la Rift where mobs were invading the land .

After seeing the pilot, it wouldn't surprise me if something like that wasn't in the works.

An XCOM ship where they spawn a huge mass of geomotry, into the world. And not instance it off would be pretty cool, also very unique. It could also end in an explosion that blows up, resulting in the destruction of said ship. And removing the mass from the world. I do not know how their engin works, so I do not know if this is posible. Their ground/floor geomoty might be buffered, and delt with diffrently then their NPC/Object Geomotry. Also they might have a limit on how big objects, or how many poloygons can be used on a model.

You are talking about major arkfalls. There already are minor 99er/mutant/raider arkfalls

So far we've seen one, ONE arkfall in the show. Then there is the mention of razor rain, which is probably arkfall debris raining down on earth from the arkbelt. There is one old already scavenged arkfall close to the bug & chug however. That's the one we saw in the latest video, or at least one looking exactly like it. An entire spaceship falling down however is probably extremely rare to see falling down.

OK, they're different than the image of arkfalls in the TV programme but I quite enjoy the arkfalls in game. I wouldn't mind a bit more interesting loot than the grenades I seem to always get but I wouldn't want them to take these arkfalls away.

Adding other forms/variety of arkfalls would be a nice option.
