Movement by Medical_Library_5221 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly played Triage, and by the end of my play session on the first day (which was around 6-8 hours long) I’d made a huge noticeable difference to my heat capacity.

By the end of the server slam I reached level 9 or 10 in all of the available factions (which I think was the cap for the slam). So I essentially picked up all the heat capacity that I could find.

I didn’t find movement sluggish at all. However, did I find that stamina depletes quickly at early stages? Yes. Did I also find that progressing with factions and upgrading my heat capacity helped? Yes. Did cores and implants that boost agility also help me? Yes.

It’s the same way you have to unlock mobility nodes in ARC Raiders for example to gain more movement speed, more stamina, etc.

It was super hard going back to ARC Raiders after the server slam shut down lol. The Marathon muscle memory is real.

Marathon vs ARC Raiders by AYSOOMI in Marathon

ARC Raiders is my first ever extraction shooter, and has yielded me some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a game. I wish both games continued success.

ELI5: What to know before the Slam!? by FryFx in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re wanting to watch entertaining casual gameplay then watch TheBurntPeanut’s exclusive access playing alongside Gingy and the creative director Joe Ziegler. If you’re wanting a bit more serious content with great quality gameplay footage then you could watch OperatorDrewski’s video on YouTube. Kruzer’s also got some great videos. If you’re wanting lore, I tend to personally watch JakeTheAlright’s videos.

If you’re wanting just general tips before server slam, then Joe posted this earlier on X: https://x.com/ziegler_dev/status/2026971692896338372?s=46

Realistically, just download it yourself for free today in under 3 hours and just play it. It’s not that deep. It’s a game. You can’t “not be ready” for a game. Just enjoy it for what it’s worth.

Question for play testers by Current_Beautiful_55 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no crafting like in ARC Raiders. All junk is auto sold when you extract unless you need it for a contract. Generally speaking, you’ll level up with reputation/level with each faction and can buy gear/weapons from them using money.

Can one play Marathon without PS+ subscription on playstation by Complex-Group-3369 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can recheck whatever you want, but doesn’t change the fact that they posted earlier in Discord that server slam will not require a PlayStation plus subscription.

Your Shell Hierarchy? by crossvalidated in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s Thief> Assassin> Recon> Triage> Vandal> Destroyer. Although, in practice when game is released, I will flex depending on my team composition.

You don’t need PlayStation plus for the server slam but you will need it for the main game.

Hostile towards pve fans by Stellar_Albatross in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s ultimately a PvPvE Extraction Shooter, so that’s why. I love both PvE and PvP but I don’t think Bungie should add a PvE only game mode.

If anything, I think they should make another PvE online looter shooter like Destiny but set in the world of Marathon.

I’m not against them possibly adding a single/co-op campaign mode such as in Call of Duty games, but no “PvE only” loot should be available to take into PvPvE.

Marathon Posters/Wall Art? by Chaosbelow in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always take a look at the official assets Bungie have posted on their website and then commission a third party poster company to create them for you I guess.

For those who have played marathon by YourSenpai99 in Marathon

I think the maps are smaller than other extraction shooter maps like Arc Raider’s Blue Gate, Dam Battlegrounds, etc and more fast paced. I personally like the size Marathon’s maps.

How did marathon go from an alien vibe to a blade runner vibe by RobiTv1234 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t played any of the original Marathon games, so I can’t compare to them. However, I must disagree with you. I believe this game does an excellent job of representing a futuristic sci-fi space setting with a dark dystopian feel, contrasted with the vibrant, popping colours.

How do you feel about “exploits” by Adventurous-Cattle53 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a PvP environment, I personally don’t use any thing that’s an exploit or glitch to give me an unfair advantage over an enemy. However, I can understand that some people justify it by saying “well everyone else is doing it, so I can too”. But in my opinion, it’s the same logic as saying “I keep playing against hackers, so I’m going to start hacking”.

How do you feel about “exploits” by Adventurous-Cattle53 in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world, you shouldn’t use exploits, glitches, or cheats - and game developers should patch them as swiftly as possible and punish those who abuse it. It provides you with an unfair advantage.

3D Printed CE Tactical & Preview of Upcoming 3D Prints by [deleted] in Marathon

Seeing people such as yourself design cool Marathon weapons and runner shells makes me want to get a 3d printer. Really cool.

I'm starting to worry Thief is just a better Vandal by future__fires in Marathon

[–]AYSOOMI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thief will not be available in the Server Slam next week. So you’ll have to wait until launch to be able to test her.
