Just checked out new patch, started reading the fixes, and every thing was fine until I got to:
"Vehicles can now damage Hellbug Blast Pods."
What?!!!
Hellbug Blast Pods make the fight a FIGHT! You're at an Arkfall everything is going as plan...then you hear this high pitched whine, and - BLAM! BLAM! - BLAM!!! Your on the ground almost dead. You pop up and you look around, and - before you know it, it happens again and now you have to extract. Can't rely on the others, cause there dead too.
What have you learned? Like a zombie, Blast Pods "...must be killed on sight!"(orig. "DAWN OF THE DEAD"). Hear that whine, fine them kill them. Roll. Jump. Figure it out!
Most of the time Arkfalls are easy for me. Given the tools like any sensible gamer I worked on technique.
I can equally devote attention to the Arkfall Crystal destruction and the destruction of the opposing enemy(DECOY is the only way I can get breathing room when things get hot, then I sprinkle battlefield with liberal application of high explosives...and yes, I have battle a crystal solo and completed, Blast Pods and all...exciting and nerve racking, and I try don't to do that anymore, but can't help myself when presented with an unattended crystal).
So, now we can use our vehicles to damage Blast Pods?
Why stop there? We could all just stay in our vehicles and drive around ramming shtako. What fun!
I look at the Blast Pods as a challenge, not to bemoan and whimper about, but to luxuriated in as an old foe - constantly demanding me to get better or die.
I chose to get better. Gone is the bib and the bottle.
They demand that Trion change it. Well I have my own demand to those players that wish this:
GET BETTER!
So, here I give voice to my personal opposition to this particular fix in this particular patch.
JOIN ME.
Please keep Hellbug Blast Pods free from vehicular harm.
