Please stop with the trucks during Arkfalls, eh?

[StanleyPain]

I know there are people out there who are just griefers and trolls....ok, you see that in every video game. But there seems to be a growing number of people who think driving trucks around during hellbug arkfalls is helpful because the trucks from that one mission can't sustain any damage.
Here's the thing...when you push around the large hellbugs, all it does it make it harder for people to hit it with their weapons and time detonators. The tiny amount of damage you do to them by running into them with a car cannot compare with 10-15+ people wailing on a hellbug with their weapons. Also, it makes seeing the spawn points for certain creatures a lot harder. It doesn't help. I'm not sure how it became a "thing" that it helps, but it doesn't.

i think the misnomer is that there is no real education to new players regarding enemy weaknesses when i first started playing i did not know about that the open mouth was a weak point or that monarchs reared up all i knew is that these things resisted bullets but i could crush the warriors with a truck easily. so it is more ignorance and lack of proper tutorial than anything else.


any way to discourage this behavior I had suggested a punishment for players where running into large enemy or elite in an ark fall would incapacitate the player as well as blow up the vehicle. i mean if your crashing into things that are bigger than you at high speeds your going to break a few bones simply destroying a vehicle as they currently do is not a deterrent but scrip loss is

If the helbug ark fall is blue, and you need to wipe out waves of hellbugs this tactic only costs people damage on the list, as vehicles award no damage points.

However during red arkfall with the skitters needed to bit the crystal, it's just ungodly annoying.

if your doing skitterling duty get a wide area low damage explosive weapon with decent ammo

this drives me up the wall , i know it shouldnt bother me , but i dunno i guess im under the impression that its a world event and as such were all banding together to kick some alien rectum . but seeing the Dbags just totally takes me out of the group immersion and i just think why am i bothering . takes all the fun out of it for and i tend to just walk away from the fight.

why shoot something , dodge its attacks , level up your weapons and flesh out your ego grid when some grade A arse bandit is just gonna drive over the damn thing any way.

It also robs them of scrip/ammo/item drops.

Firstly, BMG is way better at clearing skitterlings than explosive weapons.
Secondly, the crash and eject already occur... for monarches on smaller vehicles.
Thirdly, they should remove overkill damage and vehicular kills from arkfall rankings.
Fourthly, vehicle respawn should be based on damage taken by vehicle.
Fifthly, trucks should outright despawn when taken offroad.

Are you sure about that? I am fairly sure vehicles not only get kills and damage registered, but the overkill damage too.

Considering it's a mission truck, why not forcefully eject the player from the truck and forbid them from entering it until the arkfall is complete?

Better yet, make this happen when in smaller arkfall circles rather than the huge one.

BEcause large arkfalls sometimes overlap the mission area.
