Mt. Tam Arkfalls, let the blast pods do all the work on new players.
Literally have had 17 revives in a single Arfkall because of this and that wasn't a leaderboard error. Or, you know, I guess you can just stand around and dive on grenades. To each their own.
Yes Mt Tam can make one feel tough at times.
Newer players tend to focus on the Warriors or the Crystal instead of taking out the Archers and Blast Pods first.
You often see players crawling on the ground towards your feet.
I hear an evil whisper in my ear, "Let him suffer, let him to die!", but alas I revive them.
Conscience is a pain in the arse.
It's great when you finish your revives. Then you can go "Hah, don't need to revive you anymore" and run off to shoot something.Originally Posted by BrassRazoo
That's true, before I would be Eagle-eyed and look for revives or listen to the screams and see if anyone dropped.
Now it's like, yes I know you are there but there is a sweet spot I'm getting crits off, hang on a sec.
I don't need a pursuit to motivate me to do revives... I do them in Co-Op and I do them in everywhere else where there isn't a "pursuit" based reward for doing so. Actually especially in Co-Op, it feels cool to go in and save someone and they usually return the favor when you get in trouble yourself.
Since the game is so stacked against the Enemies... I think it needs to get tougher on the players. Cause more situations where they really have to rely on each other or the BMG healers are there for "support"... not to waste time very very slowly leveling the BMG weapons.
Don't get me wrong, I still go out of my way to assist in both Co-op and Arkfalls.
I have always been a team player, and continue to be as long as we are on the same team, meaning it is give and take.
I mentioned before I often kill myself if asked or if people need as I know what a pain it can be for some to complete these sort of things.
I would like to see more people team up and help each other with the pursuits but perhaps like you say the chat system sometimes may make this difficult.
Unfortunately some things in the game have altered peoples attitude (not mine), like kill counts resetting so they say they drive cars at Arkfalls instead.
The contract in Delta Bunker counts seem screwed so now everyone tags moves tags just in the hope that they will get the kill count.
I'd like to see more difficulty as well. "Healers" are never really appreciated as much as they should be and in this game probably more so.
It is good when a Major Scrapper Arkfall, as you get less ammo as people don't kill as many mobs, lands on a Emergency or near some Raiders and there are only 10 or so people there.
It's pretty crazy.
The Arkfal mobs, even bosses do seem to be useless. But if the Arkfal is near Raiders or another emergency then the mobs from those do tend to down more people that usual and some for second time and then I finally get to do a revive.
Most of the problems in the game are due to pursuit requirements that are bugged or go game design that actively works against you on the requirement. Like the Arkfal enemies being worthless.
I have noticed that kills at Arkfal while they don't give Weapon XP, they have started counting toward the AR, CS, BAS, and LMG kills (and probably overall kills). So now when I am there hoping someone will need a revive, I just use my Sniper to take out skitterlings, blastpods, or archers.
I've killed myself repeatedly at glitched Arkfalls using ground pounder and grenades over and over. It usually doesn't take long for others to join in. I already have my 100, so figure I might as well help others.
When I went for this pursuit I killed one thing at the Arkfall and then just ran around looking for people going down. I made it a point not to shoot blast pods as they are great at downing people.
Next glitched Arkfall I will be suicidal.
I would be more then willing to schedule a time to just do a bunch of this with someone back and forth.
PM me here, or in game ( this week Saturday would work best )
