ArkFalls and The ArkHunter...Shouldn't Major ArkFalls drop something special?

also it should not be based off the top table... else there will be specific people who only focus on highest dps, not helping or cooperating... just doing parts that allow maximum dps to get to the top 3.

I agree with this completely. People who do a lot of healing, people who revive a lot...

There are tons of ways of being a productive member of the team, so I hope it isn't tied simply to DPS.

It is no problem to do a lot of dmg and revive others the same time, i had highest dmg in about every single arkfall I reached and still had time to revive all players who died around me.
You only need about 5 seconds to revive another player, in this time you can't deal a lot of damage, but some others haven't checked this as it looks like and do not revive others, but I guess if they would add a little reward for each player revived it would be no problem anymore.

I always place in the bottom half ofArkfall events. I just like running around killing things and trying to help a few fallen comrades. I sure as hell hope Drops are not based on your amount of kills or where you place. For all those people that are always in the top 10 or so. Give them a Title that say "I just kicked your ***." and some special Pink outfit.

That is not a fair assumption. I always place in the top three for damage, as SAWs are just overpowered. However, that's from keeping Archers and those sticky grenade lobbing tower things dead, targeting weak points in Crystals/Monarchs, etc...

I'm not going to waste ammo just firing on a crystal with no weak points present. I'm not going to kill the enemies that aren't a threat. I revive people as I see them, though I won't heal people as I've no interest in being a heal-slave.

So yes, it should be based on the table or else people can just jump in at the last second and get good loot. Screw that crap.

The scores add in healing and revives too

[ten4]

Most score comes from DPS or healing. More so DPS.

So you use a high DPS main weapon then an infector which will put you at top everytime.

Playing a support role like say kiting elites around while others DPS crit points will place you bottom of the list.

Don't like the score board one bit, I think all players who participate should be rewarded equally as long as they reach a certain, pre determined threshold. Rift's system is vastly superior and a perfect example how to do these events. To start they had a score board system but they quickly threw that out, suprising they are repeating this mistake in Defiance.....
