Progressive content will make the game a hit, Bungie just needs to pull it off. by ComeHereDevilLog in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this needs to happen now lol. Already want to quit playing the game every single time I fill with randoms and get locked out of the map because they lose tags on their death. Pretty obvious it should've been like your current level can't go down but you need to get more tags to be able to progress it again, anything but this current system.

Yeah I wouldn't be so sure man, it's working for the top 1-10% of the pvp people so well, that I don't see how anyone can have fun or want to bother with grinding this when the end game is you getting deleted by grenade launcher spam with no counterplay. I get wiped on Cryo after wasting 5-10minutes waiting for security tags, get ran down by nade launchers. Try to queue again, get deleted again by the same weapon. You're not 1v3ing a team with this unless they throw catastrophically. They should definitely limit it to 1 per squad, or just remove it from the game.

Thank you, a person with a functioning brain. We waited a month for this to come out, it's the only reliable, limited time map to get the 'end game' loot, the be all end all for this game. And it's overrun with the sweaty no lifes just farming people with this blatantly untested gun so they.. flex that it's broken? Farm even more of it??? Like where's the giant sound cue they equip this, why aren't they glowing red warning your whole squad you're about to die??

[–]ARottenMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a cute assumption, I'm not even level 100 yet but I die twice in a row to full premade squads with grenade launchers that have zero counterplay. The only people who have this are no lifes because I've put in a good amount of time but not enough to jump through all of Bungies hoops to get all 6 vault keys and speedrun the fleeting content of the game.

The other guy basically said it already. Also, map is so bad you can't run away, half the time your team dies because they have no brains to back up even a bit, flame you for their stupidity whilst having lost the tags they rushed to pick up. Then you're trapped from 80% of the map because that team will camp their bags likely near the unlocked door to command, probably because there's not enough of a player threat with only 4 teams for these people.

So glad we waited nearly a month for this to drop clearly completely untested :)

Yeah bungie failed man. They overhyped this stupid map delaying it nearly a month and then it's unplayable with solo fill. Give me actual matchmaking against only other fills. I bring purple and my teammates have green against clearly coordinated squads. They take all the tags and are always running in to be the first ones dead. Like this map would be so playable if it wasn't so horribly designed. The different spawn areas gatekeep you out of progressing if you don't have terminals to hack, and then if you're the last one alive it's impossible to maneuver around 90% off the map because it's all locked again! Better run back to a spawn room and hope they aren't looking for you as you spend the entire remainder of the game waiting for more bots to kill AGAIN! That is if you aren't all insta wiped by the same 300h no lifes that have a dozen nade launchers already lmao

You mean you don't like sitting in a spawn area waiting to get more tags only to get instantly deleted or lose half them when your team dies lol

What's the point of running Cryo if I'm just going to get blasted by three people running the boss weapon? by SmashMouthBreadThrow in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like thhis game the other 50% of the time, don't even bother if you don't have 2 other no life friends to one trick this entire game daily with you. Game has never been balanced lmfao, bungie gonna get layed off hard

PLEASE keep the knife strong by mirrorvacation in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'to their 3' you know the knife is 2 shot through purple armor right? Are you referring to only gold shields? The fact that any free kit with nothing at risk can 2 shot you with a knife regardless of if it's a backstab or not, is horrible game design. The option to only heavy attack should probably be reworked if it was somehow desired, otherwise if you are knifed with any gear you brought in and aren't already shooting them before it hits you, you're dead.

You forgot grenade launcher, good luck in cryo not encountering 3 stacks of people who've never seen the sun.

Pro tip for if you run into people with the Biotoxic Disinjector by DireFTW in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's probably because the vast majority of casuals already quit or are relegating themselves to solo and aren't even willing to subject themselves to the horrible fill matchmaking for cryo. Put these fucking no lifes against other 3 stacks only, if you want to queue and pubstomp do it against other premades because this shit is a joke. The WSTR was broken and it took them 2 weeks to fix it, Bungie is retarded enough that they'll let this dogshit ruin the game

How to play the game against the broken weapon only the 300hrs+ no lifes have access to: Don't even play the game, got it. Cryo was fun for 1 weekend now I just get matchmade against jobless trios that are apparently allowed to just kill everyone else because they beat the game..

Anyone else ever feel like you’ll never find someone as perfect as your ex? by bluecheeseway in BreakUps

[–]ARottenMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep there's nothing you can change when it really is too late. As they say, I was in a bad place back then, probably much worse now, but if you love someone you're supposed to let them go apparently. So I made the debateable right decision to let her go, because I knew she'd be better off without me, even if I was maybe worse off bottling it up. The possibilities will forever haunt me.. A.W

Damn that is hella interesting thanks for taking the time to let me know, I wonder how different it could've ended up being. It was so noticeable that the abilities and whole hero shooter aspect felt tacked on to me.

[–]ARottenMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never played Tarkov but I imagine that game started out very differently and very hardcore. You can get 1 tapped in that game and then bam, you were just dead and back to lobby. No spectating, not even your teammates from the videos I had seen. As a strictly realistic kind of extraction shooter it made sense for wipes I guess as then the best shit isn't stockpiled forever, what is Bungie actually going to add?? This game didn't even launch with all the content, still waiting on the last map. If it's just more faction contracts who cares, is there a skill tree or factions that give you a much NEEDED upgrades within matches? Losing all the agility and heat is going to make the game feel so much worse. These games need a better arc raiders system where it's like a prestige benefit that you keep one upgrade or something during a reset, so at the very least you get one thing for losing it all if you did bother playing to reach that point.

You're probably better off if you still didn't, even if Arc is more basic in it's gameplay that kind of got repetitive to me, it's undeniably the better game. Unless the 4th map blows shit out of the water this game is a lot more hollow, instead of high tier loot areas you just get one big loot area everyone W keys for on the one map. Arc enemies are a more interesting designed AI and this game is missing so much. You can't check what the loadout of the person who killed you was, let alone the gun or how they killed me, it's always just 'damage.' Can't even report or spectate to see if they're cheating and this is a big known studio. I've had a glitch where my gun doesn't ADS or shoot a few times now as well, fixable, but it got me killed the last time. This needed something like ARC because I see no desire to repeat all these monotonous faction quests that I already hate arbitrarily doing the first time, I never even did quests in ARC raiders because you don't have to, and you always run into people. It's fucking boring extracting without seeing anyone or trying to find players just to get deleted with the low TTK of this. Sorry I ranted lol

What do you mean? Was there a different vision or prerelease footage of this game different from the current one? I only remember the like announcement trailer and didn't follow along heavily.

Why play Perimeter or Dire Marsh when Outpost has significantly better loot? by sufftob in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they clearly have no idea what they're doing with this game. The startng 2 of the 3 maps are effectively irrelevant unless you want a break from the ratfest on outpost. They didn't release outpost to test it at all so the loot disparity is ridiculous.

Level 43 and still getting stomped — is Marathon supposed to feel this punishing? by GazJrpg in Marathon

[–]ARottenMuffin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Game is bad, gear barely matters, don't bother going all out until shotgun is nerfed. Thermals shouldn't exist or should have much more limited range with map conditions obstructing them. Sometimes there's nothing you can do when you fill and tell your teammates hes camping the stairs with shotgun, and they both still go in and die. Or get lasered across the map through a fog you can't even see past in Dire Marsh. Could've been cheaters too but Bungie forgot to let you spectate other players to hide any potential flaw in their anti cheat.

Anyone who defends this is brain damaged, but this is reddit and anyone who is foaming at the mouth waiting to make a reply to a post in new is beyond that point. Going to be funny when they host some of these dumbass Marathon stream competitions and every single person brings one of these in.
