    Self-Reviving during Major Arkfalls

    If you're trying to complete the pursuit where you must revive 100 players during major arkfalls, then you know how frustrating it is to try to revive someone, only to have them pop their self-revive.

    Please people reading this who don't realize this, don't self-revive during a major arkfall.

    If there are people around you, you can COUNT on them reviving you. If it's just you, or MAYBE a couple other people, then go ahead and pop it. But when there's a mob of people there, it really isn't necessary.

    I'm not really sure what Trion was thinking with this part of the pursuit though. Give people to ability to revive themselves during major arkfalls, and then expect people to not do it, for the good of the other people around you trying to complete a pursuit that is a little unreasonable.
    I mean, I'm not a fan of the 2500 kills requirement, and I really feel for the people who are having their kill counter reset. However, I'm keeping my major arkfall hunting to just hellbugs, and I'm a little over 500 kills from having that one done.

    Getting the final killshot on the hellion, or the progenitor is also a bit much, but can be done, you just may have to keep doing the arkfall again, and again.
    But the reviving 100 players? That's just too much, when the players themselves can revive themselves. I'm sure nothing about this is going to change, so we're stuck with it, however, if people could stop reviving themselves, it'd make it a LOT easier. Thanks.

    You realize the revive has a cooldown, right? Just wait for someone to die twice in succession. Or for the random person who is lazy to revive. You'll get it, eventually.

    Just make a friend and have them repeatedly suicide (rocket launcher, detonator) near an ammo box within the boundary of the arkfall. Easy 100 revives.

    I find during the final part of the arkfall, is when the most people die. Of those people that die, say 10 if we're being a little generous, 7-8 will pop their self-revive. I actually am there on full revival duty. I barely even shoot at the hellion or anything else, because I'm watching like a hawk for anyone getting hit too much, or getting hit by the hellion more than a couple times.
    I've got blur as my ego power so I can run to someone faster. I'm doing about everything in my power to make myself full combat medic mode, but even with that, I get from 1 to 4 revives max in a major arkfall.

    This is definitely going to take awhile without some kind of boosting.

    You have forums, use em. That's how I got my grind partner for my 5k coop kills and that took MUCH longer than revive farming (which I did with clanmates).
    I'm Era (Account name: Strifera) on PC-NA. Friend me if you'd like in game or on the forums.

    Compared to about 60 kills a major arkfall, when you need 2500, you'd likely get the revives completed before getting the kill quota anyway. And as far as I know, THAT doesn't reset at a whim, so you can take your time.

    Always wait till you see em crawling a bit before reviving. A lot of times there is a delay after dying so what you see is them going down but what they see are white screen for a second till revive option pops up.
