    Skitterlings bite big holes in crystals in Arkfalls, so don't kill them, please

    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.

    But my Challenger runs on skitterling blood. Must run over.

    In all seriousness it bugs me you and every other person who has posted on this topic before. I hope they just make all vehicles blow up as soon as you enter the circles for arkfalls.

    Half the problem is people with aim assist on (aka auto aim) it targets the little guys every time. The other half is noobs/trolls using cars,rockets,infectors etc.

    Actually disabling vehicles inside their radius is quite a good idea. People are not going to stop being schtakos no matter how many of these threads are created. Let's face it the majority of players have never even seen this forum.

    Isn't there a similar mechanic in the scrapper mongrel event? Don't kill them, wound them, so they have to run to the crystal to recharge, and then kill them while they're repairing?

    Pretty sure that's how it works. If people aren't able to figure out these events, I'm really worried about the release of more intricate ones in the future where there's a higher chance of actually failing.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    Now if only there was an ethereal female voice telling players that the skitterlings were doing that. Repeatedly.

    If you have a better suggestion how we can teach people what to do, I'm all ears.
