Devs, you going to do anything about cars in arkfalls

[anastasia]

When the game first started I did ny share of driving in arkfalls because

1) I wasn't in beta and didn't know any better
2) was prior to the ammo drop increases and once I ran out I was basically feeling useless and I THOUGHT I was helping

Since the ammo increases I immediately get out of my car at arkfalls and I am now painfully aware how ANNOYING I must have been before...

I'm sorry for my past ignorance, it will not be repeated (and hasn't been since the ammo increases)

Everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry about it. There are only two main problems with cars in arkfalls:

1. People asking the devs to fix it, check the game the next day and get pissed off that the devs haven't fixed it yet. These things do take time, people. They don't sit around doing nothing while they wait for you to tell them what you need fixed. That's sort of the MMs in MMO. Massive Multiplayer. Or in plain English: A truckload of other people. And guess what? They are all as important as you, and yes, some of them have the same issues as you. The devs know about it, and they are working on it. But if the massive patch we just got wasn't enough of a hint, there's a new massive patch in two weeks or so. So tell me when they will have time to do whatever you tell them to do to over night, just because you got angry and made a slightly rude forum post about the problem?

2. People deliberately ignoring the no-car policy and show off their cars because they are either proud of them, or just plain bored.

see, I get the inclination that this is targeted at me... since I am the OP. However, nowhere do I mention I want this fixed tomorrow. Instead, I mention that this has been an issue that has been mentioned many many times, throughout alphas and betas, and not once have I seen a single dev post in response to anyone's comments on this issue, let alone my own. So, This is not something I ask to be fixed tomorrow, nor is this an issue that came up today and I want it fixed NOW.

Rather, this is an issue that has been around for months and months, and I have yet to see a dev post either yea or nay about said issue. At this point, I do NOT think it is too much to ask for a response, either in favor or not, from those who are paid to be in touch with the player base. I know people are busy, and props to them. However, it is not MY fault they were tied to a concrete release date, thereby releasing a game that was FAR from ready, and needed a good few months of polish before it could really be said to be releasable.

If you can find a mention of a single dev commenting DIRECTLY about the car issue at arkfalls, then I give you mad props, and think you are better than I am at the search function. Also, if so, then I would appreciate a link, because I have pored over these and the alpha/beta boards for months, and if such a comment exists, it escaped my notice.

thanks for your comments though...

they have added some small things to most of the initial arkfalls and the minor ones that make it more difficult to drive around in the arkfalls, but i believe that it is intended for people to run over hellbugs and mutants in the arkfalls - as it is they've even added knock back to some of the enemys if you hit them with a vehicle, i sometimes run out of ammo and will hop on my atv and zoom off to the nearest ammo crate, they have made it so i don't have to do this as often as there seem to me more ammo drops from killed enemys, but still the complete blocking of all vehicles in arkfalls seems uncalled for IMO

[Mr Awesome 0ne]

I thought that the Ark Fall wreckage, you know the big shards around the Ark Fall Crystal, were suppose to stop vehicles from getting in.

Though, there are some Ark Falls that don't have them.

Today I got a giant cargo truck from the 'Cut Off The Head' story mission and brought it with me to a Scrapper major arkfall, because IT'S A HUGE ******* TRUCK ******* IT ****. Just thought I should share. Yes, I drove it around the crystal for a few seconds before getting out, because I wanted people to double-take mightily; it worked.

[Katosu]

I feel like even when there is a car in a major arkfall, it's never really enough to stop the event completely. Usually we seem to finish them off easily enough so long as we have enough bodies working the crystal / boss / whatever we're fighting at the time.

I will admit some /facepalm at people killing Skitterlings, but even then - I feel the RocketSpammers are worst than the car drivers.

Whats wrong with killing mobs with a car exactly? I see it, and I think "omg" this is getting intense! I actually like seeing those car lovers killing bugs, hahaha. I'm still on the look out for a Cerebus

[JBoneFX]

I don't have a problem with cars being able to kill mobs ar arkfalls... If 20 of us were hangin out in the same spot I'm sure a car would be a better option to take us out, rather than being on foot with a gun you can only shoot one target at a time with...
