Man these things are a huge letdown. They are way too frequent and not epic enough. It's basically just stand in one spot w/ one or two other people and shoot a spot on the crystal until it's destroyed.

I would rather have raids with like 10 players where we have to clear out buildings/bases to recover crystals from Arkfalls. Standing around and shooting while a timer goes down is a terrible experience. They aren't fun at all and I don't know why they were implemented. The bad thing is, they're gonna stay in the game, even though it's single-handedly the worst aspect. They can't take it out, because they've been using it as a selling point.

I thin there are somethings going on here that explain this.
1. Firstly, in the beta we are only playing with a small section of the games map, but I'm guessing Arkfall spawn rate was left at normal. What this means instead of spawning 2-3 every 20-40 minutes across the whole map, we are getting about 8 everything 30 minutes in the small area we get to play.
2. If you are only talking one type of Arkfall, there are others, kill the mutant waves, hellbug waves, raider waves, then there are the BIG Arkfalls that have the huge Hellbugs spawn as as well.
My favorite mission was one of the side quests where you go to a farm to rescue some farmers and then you have to defend the barn from waves and waves of oncoming raiders. They should have done something more like that, with really powerful enemies. The Arkfalls in their current state are sooo dumb and boring. Don't know why anyone would even do these.
That last part I did not know and certainly makes me excited for it now.
I'm assuming only a few varieties of Arkfall are in the beta, go watch the Massive Co-op trailer, there seem to be a few that are ot in the beta.
Yeah i enjoy the arkfalls a lot, it's fun cheering with everyone at the end of it all.
With the beta though we only have a chunk of the map with some early arkfalls, i'm guessing later on we will have many more different types of them. I agree with some other random co-op events though, maybe the main base gets assaulted and you all have to claim it back?
I just participated in my first big Arkfall. My god...I was standing right on top of the thing when it surfaced...that actually scared me for a second. I enjoyed it too since it took 15+ people to take down. Especially with all of the adds.
I've been mostly playing Arkfalls, and just today I saw a new Major arkfall. Normally in the major arkfalls, some sort of bug pops out of that major boss. Just today, I saw a different bug pop out and actually fly towards the ground.
I don't know if you've watched any of the livestreams, but in Lusts livestream previous weekend, they showed one epic arkfall with mechanical enemies. Not only was it awesome.. The view was spectacular.
You're certainly welcome to your opinion, but I have to disagree. I think they're a lot of fun, especially the ones with multiple sites that end with one of the big bosses. I did enjoy the side mission you're talking about as well though. Your opinion about arkfalls may be like my opinion about Call of Duty. I have no idea why people like that game as much as they do, but it's their money and game time so whatever.
