But what if someone drives through and he's not even intending to do the arkfall? Would it be ok if his vehicle got destroyed? Then what about shadow war, which takes place on the same map?
I'm not really against this idea and if the situation on consoles is really as bad as you say, then it need to be fixed(no one uses vehicles during arkfalls on PC!!). Just do it with a timer or something.
Vehicles in arkfalls are fine and most arkfall types its not a issue, and most arkfalls have djunk lying around so you cant drive around them, all they need to do is add some junk lying around to the hellbug ones and its fixed.
I play on PC, and though I do not see this a lot, I would see the the frustration if it happened continuously during an Arkfall. That being said, I hate when games do this type of thing for balance purposes. I think a better idea would be to make doing it not worth the time/costly. When your vehicle blows up, you should die or be severly wounded. Vehicles are loud, are big, and make great targets. Mobs should make them their primary target when they are in the area. This may solve some of the problem.
Just my two cents...
people actually get mad over how some1 else plays a game thats very messed up
lol ppl want to ruin the game cause some1 else is playing a little different
I totally agree with this. It ruins the whole aspect of Arkfall hunting when they do this. It is just a form of boosting so they can get the most damage by doing it and be the top on the leaderboards. But it ruins it for eveyrone else that is trying to play as it should be done.
just had "tribal joe" ruin an arkfall for everyone, pc na, you need to have some kind of barrier up so these jerks cant just drive around the crystals running stuff over. this really ruins it for the other players as we loose items and ammo because some jerk decides he just wants to do donuts around the area for easy mode. PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, or just start banning people who are caught doing it
I agree. I think the only reason ppl are this frustrated about this is because they're just trying to get to the top of the leader board and theyre butthurt that they cant be on the leaderboard. Honestly i dont mind it if players go around running over bugs. Helps me stop getting slowed by their spit. I do agree placing some debris around the arkfall since it DID fall down and crashed so there should always be some kind of debris scattered around it.Originally Posted by trip
+1 for instant vehicle despawn as soon as you enter each individual arkfall circle.
- Or make vehicles do 0 damage within arkfall zones.
- Have every mob aggro on them, as Hobgoblin suggests up-thread.
- *Decrease* the player ego level for each circuit they do or mob they run over.
- If a player stays in their vehicle remove an item at random from their inventory and assign it at random to one of the other players at the arkfall - that would be entertaining.
- Flag the player as an enemy mob while they remain in their vehicle, so we can at least take them out along with the rest of the mobsWith no revive/respawn for duration of that Arkfall circle.
- Make each mob run over *decrease* the kill count for whatever pursuit these folks are chasing. 'Cos it hardly counts as a kill if you squash it under your tires during an Arkfall.
- Make it realistic story-wise: using your vehicle to mow down mobs at an Arkfall? Fine, but then your vehicle will be too damaged to drive, and you'll have to walk everywhere for the next week whilst doing a quest-chain to gather the replacement parts and wait for it to be fixed.
I stopped doing any arkfalls at all in the earlier zones because the twirling vehicles is such a immersion-killer. Not to mention the extra lag. And being unable to see anything when you've got 5 of the giant quest-trucks sitting on top of you. And, what's the point, trying to learn how to fight when someone will take the easy route and run the mob over?
But the fast few days - bliss. Thought the arkfall vehicle spam had been fixed, hadn't seen one in days. Started loving the arkfalls, some actually challenging, really fun and satisfying - I might even be improving a bit. But no, tonight, perhaps a bit earlier than I usually play, and there they are again (EU PC). Experience ruined. Such a shame that some folks are so inconsiderate. On the plus side, I guess such folks will have 'beaten the game' - never understood that phrase - and zoomed off to play something else soon enough. I hope.
In the meantime, devs, please help!
If they despwn then in a major ark fall we would have to walk to the next place
vehicles in arkfalls have been my biggest complaint about this game! I don't mind server issues (much progress has been made on those) half as much as I hate some ****** in a truck or roller driving around and around. I don't believe this was the way the arkfall events were intended to be played, and can't understand why Trion lets it persist. Instakill vehicles in the immediate vicinity, please!
