Most Wanted Contest is all about mindless grinding!

[DustOfDeath]

so.. loot boost also increases the salvage amount? if so then thats even worse then mindless grinding - giving major advantage to cash shop users.

Arkfalls can give up to 3000 from loot. But are still inefficient - driving time, killing time etc.
If you take a rampage or endless skitterling spawn and farm it for a full hour rigth after you login and then wont login for a week, you have highest chance... (since the whole amount would be divided by... 1? unles they mean minutes) - any extra hour farmed would decrease the total.
lets say 10000 1h end score 10000. now 20000 2h end score... 10000 - and so on - it will depend of the luck of drops (and loot boost?) and fastest kill tome to get the most out of it.

There should at least be some kind of milestones that if you reach it within the time limit you get xxx reward (like extra boosts, keycodes, lockboxes, modboxes and stuff like that).

I would agree with you if it was total salvage; however, it is salvage per hour which means if you can play for one hour only during the time of the contest and collect 10K of ark salvage then your rate is 10K/hr...if someone else plays 24 hours straight and collects 240K of ark salvage then that person's rate is 10K/hr...basically, it boils down to maximizing your ark salvage collection during the time given that you have to play...whether that be an hour, two, 12, 24, or more...

So you can basically log in for 5 minutes and do whatever in the game provides the most Ark Salvage possible and then not log back in for 2 weeks and you might win?

Yes. A.k.a. the only winning move is not to play (well, almost).
Brilliant isn't it?

From the contest rules:


Glad I read that before trying.



So.. Either keep earning salvage as much as possible while playing, or somehow be able to get a lot in 1 hour and never log in until the end.. Seems a bit flawed.

Excluding Quebec? Thanks a lot Trion/Syfy. -.-

Absolutely or of course we all lack any reading comprehension and misinterpreted the rules.

This is all just for hype. You really think they are going to recreate one of our character to be in the show? The character has already been chosen, probably some random person, it will show a 10-20 second clip of some decent CG animated character killing some hellbugs to help the City of Defiance. If it's a live character then you know for sure this was all BS.

Its actually only a picture on a wall or something of that sort it sounds like.

Im ok with that and the contest as an idea but agree with the vast majority in this thread and think the mannervof determining the winner is flawed.

[Remag Div]

It's about finishing the pursuits and grinding rampages for an hour, then not playing for the next two weeks.

Haha, so this.

So just to be sure, are they saying that if I play for only 1 hour the next 2 weeks but manage to be the top person in collected Ark Salvage vs. someone who plays 100 hours in the 2 weeks and steadily collects salvage and passes me total but never surpasses my hour mark = I would win?

correct, if the 2nd person doesnt do better than your salvage/hour( which becomes harder and harder the longer you play) then you would win for having the highest salvage/hour
