Stop killing the crystals

[Mailman]

It dies when it dies, get over it already.

If someone wants to kill skitterlings to up their pursuit count or just for fun, more power to them.

Amazing how people with little patience and want everything NOW become quite rude when imposing their way to play the game upon others.

Maybe i'm in the minority here, but part of the fun of gaming is suspending your disbelief. If you get good at that you do what you can to kill everything, because they are enemies out to get you and this is real dammit. Who cares about points when they are having fun. Don't race so fast to get to the end, take a glass half full approach and nut up and get out there and put in the work at having fun. Like i said i'm in the minority, but i spend a lot of time jumping my challenger in the hills so what do i know?

I had my kill total reset from 1000+ 3 times during this pursuit but still did it WITHOUT killing skits at shoot the weak point arkfalls, its very simple equip a groud pounder and go to a blue crystal (waves of mobs) arkfall, I was getting 300+ kills per arkfall while doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing. This pursuit IS NOT MEANT TO BE DONE OVERNIGHT. And as for revives again simple if there are tons of ppl at an arkfall forget it as someone else will get there first wait till one with only a few people and instead of being in aim mode permanantly forget about damage and just look for revives, was a little easier when the blast pods all spawned together as you were almost guaranteed someone gets hit by most of them in insta-killed. Had my revives sorted before getting the kills.

Actually there is enough skitterlings throughout the world so no need to do it at Arkfalls.
Or is the pursuit for Arkfalls only? I am pretty sure i got 5000 kills outside of an Arkfall
Usually there is multiple small Arkfalls happening at the same time but a little distance a part i would just suggest to go to the one with less players.

I thought this was a joke thread when i first read it but now i'm not so sure after reading some of the replies, the whole point of Arkfalls is to destroy the crystal. The people that go around killing the skiterlings is what annoys the hell out of me.

I actually very much agree, especially when destroying like half of the crystal by yourself until they show up, rather annoying. Even some players that constantly use ground pounders

Read the pursuits. There are a few that track the number of kills at Arkfalls, as well as reviving players at arkfalls. Hence why people requesting the self revive be switched off for arkfalls, so they can get 100 revives in.
So while some of us are mindlessly pounding on the crystal, others are actually trying to complete pursuits. To find out pursuit you have hit "J".

That's good for you. Now complete them legitimately and stop trying to **** over everyone else's game so you can exploit your way to an easy pursuit complete. I love the people in this thread who are like "I do this <Insert tool tactic> cause people don't do things I want them too". There's a word for people like that... sadly the forum would filter it.

I get to an arkfall and had it all to myself. I proceed to kill all the skitterlings and keep the crystal relatively unscathed. When, what do you know, a bunch of yahoo's come in on their fancy 4 wheelers and Dodge chargers. They get out of their cars and proceed to blow the crystal all to hell. Crystal explodes and no more skitterlings for daddy.

How the hell am I supposed to get 5000 ark fall kills with these *******s around?

You go to a blue crystal arkfall - the sole purpose at those is to kill the mobs.

Red crystal falls are designed to be destroyed with the help of the mobs.

If you don't like people playing the game the way it is designed to be, then stop playing MMO's.

Who decides the proper way to play the game? It's a game, play however you want i say.

I've wondered that all along, and it's the first time I've seen where somebody actually said it.

Bravo, Sir.
Well done, that man.

A few of us were talking last night and came to the conclusion that the arkfall would be more efficient if the only way to damage it was through the skitterling bites, instead of the ark being a giant bullet sponge. If you dont complete it in time you dont get to claim the Hellbug kills. This would help with teamwork and discourage all the time wasted with the skitterling slaughters.

Use skill instead of spam.

Hmm, sorry about your ***** if you can only kill skitterlings.
