    I don't see why the vehicle nerf was even necessary. There are zones in the game that will explode your vehicle if you drive onto them. If they are able to code that, why couldn't they just add that condition to an Arkfall area? It's not like that would be asking for completely new code, just cut and paste.

    Yep. That or just change "explode" to "force dismount" when entering an arkfall. Easy peasy.

    ^agree.

    Only differance now? if you breathe or sneeze at the smallest spawned rock, raider or bug anywhere? Instant vehical explosion.

    Hell on Wheels Perk? worthless doesnt do sh!t

    Forums complained/cried for vehical nerfs? threads asking begging for vehicals to just explode in an arkfall? your wish was granted!

    Since vehicals explode its only fair that vehical explosion should do major damage. Like big massive mega damage to whatever the vehical hits!

    both worlds connected right? Game & Show? I think all vehicals in the TV show should reflect the nerf as well.

    Nolans ride should instant explode the moment his black car bumps into anything anywhere anytime. Just like the game.... vehical nerf the TV show.

    So glad I finished with the time trials & living to kill V before the nerf.

    *I would like a continuation after reaching gold achievement/black challenger for a new time trial. But to get the new vehical? gold completion from all previous should be required.

    and no please not another challenger in black with just a red stripe and 5mph faster~ a new car maybe a Dark Matter ATV or a dirt bike.

    Im guessing tho that anything awesome to be added to the game prob wouldnt come out till just before or right during either Destiny or Elder Scrolls release. By that time it would probably be too late.

    The current vehicle nerf is just stupid and breaks more things than it fixes. Force dismount near Arkfalls is the solution, but only if there are no Arkfalls on the time trial track.



    @ Topic
    Yesterday a monarch destroyed my runner while I was doing a time trial. Ran through the last two checkpoints and still made gold. Lucky me. At least getting your runner destroyed that way doesn't fail the time trial. Shows that they put at least some brainpower into the game.

    Time trials should make it so that the player doesn't see any hostile NPCs, Arkfalls and encounters, cannot bump into any of those, cannot damage them and cannot be harmed in return. Force dismount near Arkfalls also gets disabled while doing a time trial. Just mentioning this in case a game designer reads this and gets it wrong. Again.

    Vehicles - Normal HP and Damage but no regeneration. Either forced explode (or dismount) in arkfalls and/or detritus scattered around which causes masses of damage to vehicles.

    Yeah, the fact that I hit 1 warrior and 1 skitterling and my vehicle explodes, is ridiculous.

    I found that in San Fran, a lot of emergencies would pop up in my time trials, got very frustrating.

    You are lucky. The emergencies can completely block bridges / canyons, and fail to load until after players hit them (car explodes, then the enemy appears). If it always worked the way you described I would agree with you, but the randomness and glitches involved push it into BS territory.

    Who was the genius that decided that having 3+ monarchs on a time trial course made sense?

    Then, who was the bigger genius that decided that just GETTING NEAR a monarch, let alone colliding with one, was an instant vehicle explosion?

    Then... who was the biggest genius when they didn't put 2 and 2 together and forgot all about combining these elements when dealing with time trials?

    As I typed this, (because I was too pissed to close the game out), my character gets attacked by a mutated monarch at the time trial start point.

    Insult + Injury obtained.

    Yes, I realize this is a total rant post, but there's a colossal amount of tardation with this whole mess and it makes me wonder if Trion has monkeys throwing darts at boards in the idea room.
    This is one of my biggest irritations. I had an excessive amount of extreme frustration over the previous Dodge Challenger Challenge and was finally able to get gold 3 times (after having tried to start it over what seemed like literally 300 times-no gates, spawning outside the car, game added time a the end, hazards spawned right in front of gates, gates in the middle of or near the end of the trial would not trip from red to blue or blue ones would not go away, invisible objects destroying my car, randomly being flung out of my car for NO reason, roadblocks that didn't spawn until I ran into them, and more fun times-I had the time trial down to a science so when at last there were no obstacles I was able to get gold with a few seconds to spare and enough to overcome additional time added at the end).

    This last Dodge Challenge was better and worse all at the same time. It wasn't a challenge-that would be terrain-related and yes, obstacle related but not related to Monarchs standing right in front of the fricking gate. And no, you didn't have to run into them for your car to blow up-all you needed to do was get near the Monarch and boom. What I eventually had to do was just to try and quickly destroy the Monarch before I failed the challenge so it wouldn't be there next time around. Great, next run through there was a 99er Blacklung guy right there. So, I got rid of him and then was able to get gold. I ended up doing it twice but I could rip the lungs out of the person sitting at their desk laughing about all this fun they created.

    It's kind of like whoever it is that decided that all of a sudden in the middle of the moonshine shack hotshot thing that there should be a lot of dirt kicked up so it was impossible to see the raiders I needed to shoot. Nothing like having 3 rounds in a shotgun and not being able to see the guys you need to kill. It wasn't bad enough.
