Yes, I know there are other threads about this already, but one more can't hurt. That's one less thread for jerks to ignore. The short version? Yes, I know you are very proud of having the same car as everyone else. Gee, what an accomplishment... But no, cars are not 'cool', and no, we are *not* always supposed to kill anything in sight in Arkfalls. In some, yes, but not in all. It's really simple to tell the difference, too. Look at the top of the screen during an arkfall. Does it say:
- kill/survive wave number this or that? Go ahead, kill anything that moves. Try to run me over a few times to make sure I'm not a skitterling, if you want to. I don't care, we are supposed to just survive.
- Destroy the Hellion? That's the big worm in the center of the area. The huge red one. The one everyone is shooting at. I'm not. It's not me. So stop shooting at me or trying to run me over! The same goes for the huge Scavenger robot, or whatever. If it says to destroy something, please destroy that something. Showing off your awesome car everyone else has just makes you look silly.
- Destroy the crystal? Here's the problem: We need to destroy the crystal! That's it. Once the crystal is destroyed, the Arkfall is over. But know what's fun? The skitterlings bite a hole in it, so we can do far more damage to it. It's called weak spots. Most bosses in console-shooters have them, and they have had them since console-shooters were born. I don't know why you think this game is different. So wait for the skitterlings to bite a hole in the crystal, then shoot the hole. Do not kill the skitterlings! And in case you somehow don't know what a skitterling is, they are the small creatures people tell you to not kill. The small ones that runs up to the crystal all the time. The ones you love to run over so they don't reach the crystal.
And that's pretty much all there is too it. Read the description of the Arkfall and listen to what people tell you, please. Running us over in your fancy car you're so proud of just makes you look like an idiot. Newflash: I have both a Dodge (found at secret vender everyone knows about) and three of the other buggies. I know you want to show off that you have one, but everyone else already have one. You might as well show off a rocket launcher.
