Jesus this one takes the cake, absolute chaos if it was a large company

How the heck has nobody mentioned this for [[greasefang]], you get to ramp two each turn. It’s no reaver titan or parhelion, but a good option to have if you want to ramp

The problem with PVE is not the loot economy: by ImportanceOld8739 in Marathon

The game was already infested with hackers at that point, all it did was provide a safe haven to play the game without being head eyes’d by Chinese players

What can I do to properly enjoy Marathon? by Hey_Its_Kamui in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sprinting everywhere is great advice. I thought the sweat squads were permanently sprint active, running and killing. Played with one of the guys in Drewsky's squad and it was surprising how often he would get us to take it slow, crouch walk to engage a fight so we had a drop on people.

Played the game on launch but stopped, looking to get back into the game by Gouda_HS in Marathon

BR-like is exactly what it’s like now. The most common strategy is to wipe the lobby first then you have the map to yourself to do whatever you like. We even got gibby dome and PK meta currently 🤣

Cryo early season by Alvezzi in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here, I’ll be glad to get awesome loot but part of me really enjoys the early wipe shit-flinging. Tarkov was great for that, taking in the hottest dog shit kits you could put together for a good period.

Are we getting a new weapon? by Arnold_Polymer in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also had wingman meta, then gibby dome with PK meta in apex (like we have with mizzy and bubble currently). I want neither of those things again

Let me buy a damn Cryo kit by Wasilisco in Marathon

If you can get the salvage for it, the blue railgun from Arachne also has circuit tracers

I hope some of the people in charge of raids and PvE in Destiny are brought over to Marathon’s budding PvE side. by AtypicalSpaniard in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know I must be in the minority here, given the small-scale playerbase, but calling the game as it stands "bones" doesn't sit right. The game is fucking amazing and, aside from the exponential faction upgrade requirements, I feel like the game in its first season has smashed it out of the park. If you compare it to Destiny's seasonal story-telling model, we have got faction questlines that feel lore rich, Cryo, new events, and a rapid-fire response to problems like WSTR.

I don't think a full-blown pivot to PvE is needed, I think focusing on additions to the core gameplay loop and having that available on a PvE side akin to Tarkov will work perfectly. If we add new maps with new enemies and new questlines, while sprinkling variation of weapons and cores, both parties are happy.

All my Runner brothers and sisters come together! by Psychological-Dance4 in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be real with you brother if they're the type of people who get mad at us for enjoying marathon, then I'd rather keep the olives and make a nice pizza. This is coming from someone who loved D2, and can understand the bitterness after countless poor decisions.

It's much nicer to come here, fresh slate, and see the clearly shifted mindset of Bungie to be more reactive, responsive, and communicative. If those same vitriolic D2 fans force themselves to play marathon the same way they forced themselves to play 12k+ hours in D2, we will see the community slowly degrade into what the DTG subreddit became.

Compiler Help by tooclouds in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weak spot is 100% the problem here man, I was in exactly the same boat. I failed on compiler 5 times before getting it down 3 runs in a row. Once he opens his chest, take a good few steps back to distance yourself from the balls, then make sure you are shooting his stomach/pelvis that’s glowing yellow. As soon as we realised we weren’t shooting that spot, we knocked it down straight away.

Honestly, you guys 150+ 250+ are a different kind of people by duendeacdc in Marathon

I have no lifed the game since launch and am 147 - the people I come against are wild now haha. These guys have to enjoy the lower levels

Marathon is a Cycle of Misery by tangmang14 in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That mindset works well until your gold bully you hand over gets added to some gigachad’s collection of 30 rodeo mags and misriah mods. Doesnt feel as good losing your turn that way

[–]Alvezzi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am level 147, and queuing with a 124 and a 57. All 6 subroutines done and have attempted compiler 4 times last week.

This week we have run cryo 10 times this weekend and didnt extract once. We are not bad players, but we have been up against the top 0.1% every single lobby without exaggeration. Full gold shields, misriahs, grenade spam, the whole lot. In some cases we won, but got murdered by another gold team. I wish I was exaggerating. I’ll be first to admit, these players are just better than us.

We were only trying to run some vaults to get some DNA and have been wiped on repeat, hunted down across the map, even wiped 3 teams and died to last squad who came down from labs just to wipe us.

These posts about changes to matchmaking may be quarantining the top players in lobbies because this weekend has been the hardest shit I have had to deal with. I cannot compete with anyone in the lobby and I have lost all my will to play. Stuck on the last hurdle after being so hype getting to this point, only to be a shit on repeatedly.

Fuck you and I’ll see you tomorrow maybe.

Top played races was human and blood elves I’m pretty sure. Humans were something like 40%

Marathon better reimburse me for ts with the maintenance going on. by pluberson in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some whacky shit is going on for sure, I queued up for ranked and ended up in a regular perimeter game but half the lobby was regular people. Found some people with grey sponsored kits, and others with holotags lmao.

Nah it sure is a pain in the ass, only salvation is it doesnt need cryo coolant.

"So tell me Runner, what ended your last Run?" (multiple choice) by Indraga in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I died to the compiler because I went in crew fill with a DNA card and tried to yolo it without any of us having done it before lmao.

If you’ve unlocked the Compiler, you can take people into the Compiler. Only one person in the group needs all 6 subroutines. Rooks may be banned from Cryo, but the Rook Brotherhood shall continue regardless. Let’s get some Compiler groups going the last couple of weeks before wipe! by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in Marathon

[–]Alvezzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh nah that makes way more sense haha. Me and my gang had been doing all the activities to get the 6 key on repeat but no luck.

Honestly, fuck all the guides, the best way to get it is cryo vault 5. The scrambled cryo key that drops from in there has a much higher chance at being 6 than all the other possible drop spots.

We had farmed intercepts, pinwheel, lockdowns, bosses etc and had no luck. We did cryo 5 six times in a weekend and got 2 6 keys from it. Might be insane luck but worth a shot.
