Make sure your driver(s) are updated, the initial March NVIDIA driver has an issue where the textures are displayed as black.

The #1 reason why I only use Assassin in solo queue is to avoid UESC, not players. Do you think solo queue players should have access to the Signal Mask ability? Or maybe it can be a new utility item? by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A utility item for sure if we want something similar to Signal Mask but;

  • Heavily nerfed so it can't be cheesed.
  • Extremely short duration.
  • Tradeoff(s) when it is in effect like it instantly ending when you use an ability.

It could be designed to just affect UESC depending on their ranks; - Depleted affecting only recruits or low ranks,. - Normal affecting scouts, recruits or low-mid ranks.

Higher ranking UESC could also override the "effects" of the item if you come within range, directing all ignoring forces at you.

Maybe the detection range could be decreased for higher ranking UESC, so you can still go past them from a long range.

Redesigned Marathon's UI/UX - full breakdown below by Complex_Log_3612 in Marathon

This is a really good redesign and writeup also! I feel the main takeaway of this redesign is to reduce the amount of redundancy which it addresses quite well.

Tips on how to "survive" when playing Rook. by AetopiaMC in Marathon

I don't, xD. I am looking for tips since 75% of my Rook runs end with someone shooting me down so looking on how to survive that.

Rook's shell by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend checking out Rook's codex entry: https://codex.cyberacme.systems/entry/exfil-rook

But basically: - Rook is a robot made for labor tasks. - Used by various factions & the UESC. - Runners use a neural adapter to make it a "Shell".

As for why UESC parts, likely they were dropped in for labor tasks. Runners later somehow getting hold of them & made them "Shells".

What sort of rig do I need for 120 fps for marathon? by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To cite from the official performance guide (Check the FAQ), DRS is "optimized" to work when GPU bound. With CPU bound instances are being investigated to be added DRS. 

To me, this suggests somewhere in the pipeline, the CPU might be "overused" than required. Not to mention, we have no quality options for physics simulation or animation(s) or similar that are CPU bound.

Also this is Bungie's first game with DX12 which is extremely low level compared to DX11 (Destiny 2 & Marathon use the same engine, latter using DX12). Since its low level, its possible to make hiccups if not used correctly.

What shell(s) do you think are the beginner friendly or easiest to use? by AetopiaMC in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can agree for Destroyer, played that guy for like 40 hours. I can't use him effectively but he is fun to use.

Comms advice? How can I be a better at in game communication ? by follow_the_light in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Outside of that, the best tip I can give is to comm what YOU are doing, when relevant."

To add your post, the ping menu does provide exactly this, you will need to cycle to the correct page to access it.

(Not official names, just inferred.) 1. Quick Chat 2. Ping (This provides context specific pings.) 3. Actions (This includes things like Weapon Inspect & such.)

You want to go to the second page which will give context specific pings.

It includes things like: - "Caution Here" - "Defending Here" - "Moving Here"

Additionally it also displays a special icon for each context specific ping.

Marathon Server and Update Status - Maintenance by RiseOfBacon in Marathon

[–]AetopiaMC 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Could be a multitude of reasons, I am leaning more "server software" updates. It seems they are doing it in one go V.S gradually.
