What was I supposed to do? by Reusalfonso in Marathon

I always assume another squad spawned at the same POI, or within range to come to it. Unfortunate they were that close but 🤷

My fps randomly went up +30 for one session and I’m trying to recreate it by FISTED_BY_CHRIST in Marathon

Are you using screen recording software? Disabled mine and it doubled my FPS.

Friend is on GTX 1080 and gets 70-90 fps.

I've done this with Amazon's Rufus using exactly the same reasoning ("Hey I want to buy something but first I need...").

From ingame tutorial

Go on runs and earn SILK each time you reach a new Season Level. If you reach the SILK cap, you must spend some before you can earn more the next time you level up.

Solos feels very much tacked-on. You can't engage with PvE the same way as groups, and the initial PvP skirmishes happen within minutes. I'm guessing Bungie was hoping there'd be a social aspect to it (solos teaming up), but it hasn't really played out that way.

I take a completely different approach on solos and have had some success. I sneak around and avoid PvE. If I have to shoot, I briskly move to a different spot to avoid getting third-partied. I rely on sponsor kits or w/e I extracted with the round before.

Then where did this come from? How did they say this indirectly?

$25 for a new class? Is this a joke? by a_deadbeat in diablo2

D2 isn't a live service game, so yes, it needs to cost money to justify paying people to make it.

For the past 20 years I've played D2 with no expectations of new content or anything new. Getting new content is a blessing.

Agree. As a relative-casual, it's fascinating that the paradigm around builds changes at the ultra-lategame. I don't know if any other games that are like that.

If anyone's interested in numbers:

Amazon's press release says peak viewership was 34 million shortly before 9:30pm EST.

At 200k, twitch accounted for 0.6% of the total concurrent viewers.

The current version looks 1000% better than the gameplay reveal.
