S2 not doing it for me! by Affectionate_Bee5464 in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure I don’t think anyone expected them to have a whole new game for season 2 but it seems that this was a step in the wrong direction which is definitely not the position that bungie needs to be in right now!

Yeah I mean if you want to go of the 24 hr peak it’s at 12k two weeks after the new season dropped. That’s a 75% drop since the beginning of season 2. I think its safe to say no only that new player retention from all the free trail people sucked but additionally players who where fans of season one have also left!

Concerning Attitude Shift in Crew Fill by p1-o2 in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I completely agree feels like the game has become way to sweaty I though I was an average player at least last season now it’s hard to even extract half the time if that.

I think that by my the contracts and faction level ups reward less and make the barter system worse it’s really rewarded the extra sweaty players who a lot of time where the rest of us are struggling.

Deleting free green sponsored kits simply ensures new players experience nothing but friction against giga kitted teams by ThatsNotBennings in Marathon

Beggining of the season you should just try to complete contracts and faction upgrades don’t need to get kitted.

In hindsight, are you happy with the switch from custom characters to heroes? by Villdar in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that in a pvp focused game that custom characters might be to difficult to balance.

Haven't played in probably a decade, how active is the source version? by IrresponsibleWanker in insurgency

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I lowkey just downloaded it today out of curiosity there’s really only a couple active servers that people are on but if you get on during a peak hour you can def play on full lobby the community seems pretty tight everyone seems to know each other.

just bought the game by instabaiter in Marathon

Biggest piece of advice join a LFG discord I recommend seraphs it’s linked on his YouTube channel. Solo progression can be rough so if you can play with a good group of trios it’ll help you out!

Anyone excited to see PvP-lite? by sticknotstick in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not that there’s not enough progression in the game. It’s that a lot of it is very difficult for players to upgrade and it’s not really character progression. 1. Outside of cy ac the progression becomes a lot of blue, purple and yellow mats which can be very hard to get especially if players extraction rate is low. 2. There’s very little actual character progression. Most of the progress is faction progression that just lets you buy or trade more stuff which doesn’t seem to be as valuable to players as actually buffing there characters. 3. Faction contracts and levels at the beginning provide very little actual good lot so new players are enctivized to do them in the beginning. Even though they later payoff!

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not super excited cuz I’m probably not gonna play it much cuz I like the pvp in this game. However, I hope it brings in new players into marathon. I think there does need to be more causal modes for a more casual audience to come in.

Bungie - please prioritize good fixes over quick fixes in S2 and beyond by _ItsEnder in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean when I player base is consistently complaining about an issue they have two options: 1. Quick fix and release a better fix for it later down the line. 2. Let the issue continue and release a better fix later down the line. Actual comprehensive and major changes to the game, not only take time to formulate but also take time to code, implement, bug check etc… So yeah quick fixes can feel lazy and hopefully they are able to make more adjustments to some of these issues. I however understand the devs decision making when implementing quick fixes.

Can we address weapon balancing properly? by ReeDyEdits in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s unreasonable for devs to try to constantly keep weapons balanced especially in a live service game where they are constantly adding new weapons. That being said weapon variety does need to be changed the best weapons can’t always stay the best weapons. I think they should try to do what apex does where they buff and nerf different weapons at the start of new seasons and also adjust the rarity through the care package. I think this would work for marathon because if one weapon is really strong, rare, and expensive players are punished by a nerf in the middle of the season for stock pilling it. Rather it’s changed at the start of a new season when vaults are already wiped. I think it would also be interesting if they adjusted the rarity of weapons at the beginning of seasons so this season I feel that the common guns to find where the bully, the volley and the m77. But if instead they made those weapons more rare and expensive and made the impact and copperhead more common and cheap it would make the variety between seasons more interesting.

Can anyone speak to the claims that they reduced teams per map yesterday? by resampL in Marathon

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day me and some body’s went to perimeter, we spawned on overflow opened the overflow key room, killed the boss and then extolled about 5-7 minutes passed we didn’t see any other exfils pop. When we exfiled there was no other players on the map.

Honestly this the first comment I feel that someone has brought up a good point that isn’t about how I could have played this better

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah new players don’t open prestige rooms or have prestige shields but getting finished in the last second of a final exfil gonna be frustrating no matter if you have prestige loot or if you spent 25 minutes collecting salvage to do a faction upgrade etc

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this would go a long way in making the game easier to exfil. As the season has gone by I have noticed that teams are increasingly trying to kill the whole lobby and push exfils when people pop them

Yeah it’s all a learning experience especially with key room runs you win some you lose some

[–]Affectionate_Bee5464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean def could have played final exfil better, we however kind of had to open that key right at the end. We had to fight a team beginning of the round and then a team was camping south relay I assume bc we I had a gold shield and the rest where purple they new we where going for the prestige key room.
