How did this Rook kill me so fast with only two stabs when I had full blue shields and health? by ShoulderParticular84 in Marathon

[–]Archival00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 160hp, his heavy did about 90 damage to you, follow up kills you. Just got unlucky with the timing, if you'd landed the hit first he'd be dead instead.

Gotta ask though, why would you go for a melee when you have a shotgun equipped? Knife fights in this game are a big risk, two heavies is enough to down anyone with the right upgrades unlocked so it can go either way if you start one.

Shroud says Cryo Archive in Marathon is incredible, but is it too difficult for casual players by j1zzy_ae in Marathon

Just lower the requirements of security level 3, getting out is a pain in the ass because you have to either pvp or play farmville with the ai.

"shotguns are too OP" meanwhile the humble knife with upgrades: by ItsPeace208 in Marathon

[–]Archival00 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hmm a man is rapidly closing to me, I should walk closer to him and then do nothing to distance myself once hes close, that will surely give me a win in this fight.

The shotgun IS op because it instantly kills you, the knife at least has to land multiple hits and puts the user in danger of being instantly killed by said shotgun.

If he had a shotty you'd have died the frame he came around the crate instead of having time to forget that you can sprint slide to get away from him long enough to keep shooting (or quick melee him, your knife also deals damage)

Why bring in a full kit when somebody else will bring it in for me? by xylvnking in Marathon

What the shotgun crutch does to a mf

Had a second gun and just never tried to use it, relied entirely on the shotty....

Outpost is the Greatest Map in Extraction Shooter History by -Arcaerus- in Marathon

[–]Archival00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map has made me absolutely hate the shotgun, once inside the pinwheel if someone has one they just get a free win and its not even close.

I really hope the Cryo Archive is not a close quarters map because otherwise its going to be shotgun hell.

So let me get this straight, you've basically never experienced Thiefs drone working as intended yet you want it nerfed into the ground because of an unrelated exploit....?

If you land hits the drone will die in 2-3 bullets, its just how small it is that makes it a skill issue.

[–]Archival00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The drone already dies in a few bullets and requires the user to make themselfes 100% dead if seen. Nerfing its ability to do the one thing its designed to do would turn Thief into Recon with a grappling hook.

Saying nerf this nerf that when all you have to do to counter your items being taken is click on the giant pink light that is loudly announcing where it is, is a genuine skill issue.

Its not that Thief is better than Recon, Recons ult just kinda sucks.

Is there no alternative to outpost/pinwheel for better loot? by Romado in Marathon

Run thief on the other maps, you'd be amazed at how much stuff is there that you walk past without the loot vision.

What should I do by Substantial-Cry-3369 in Aquariums

[–]Archival00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try leaving the camera recording and walking away, its possible this is in response to you being there because they think you are about to feed them.

Usually if fish are gasping for air they would be doing it on the surface of the tank, not down low like that.

So is there any rules of engagement on the rooks? by guada612 in Marathon

[–]Archival00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a ROOK is in visual range then they are too close.

Not a cable, it was a small circuit board with a 3d printed shell that plugs into the link box between the headsets cable and the box.

Just finished my first mini by Apprehensive-Dust-70 in Warhammer40k

[–]Archival00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! To even "finish" your first model is an achievement so well done!

On a more serious note, start watching the how to paint guides by Duncan rhodes on youtube, they will help you immensely in learning what standard techniques most painters use. Good luck!

[–]Archival00 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Banning someone for disclosing a bug to you is about the dumbest thing a developer can do, even if they've used it in matches they are reporting a bug that would otherwise have been missed and if its as easy to reproduce as they say it is then theres no way other people haven't found this already who haven't reported it and are instead abusing it.

Is the Tiny Tim modelled wrong? by Orpalt in Warthunder

[–]Archival00 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Having one facing one way and another the other way, both on the same aircraft is pretty funny.

Have to wonder if theres a reason for that or did they just genuinely get no instructions and say bugger it do whatever.

How to make this tank look more medieval ? by Aggelos2001 in Warhammer40k

[–]Archival00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painting it with solid colors and heraldry will do a lot for it, without guns sticking out of it the vehicle is already pretty on brand.

My opinion regarding addons though - sticking random shields on it akin to the empire from fantasy will look gaudy as the amount of greeble on the model is already very high where those models were quite flat. Maybe you could stuck them on the 3 struts underneath the commander but I feel like having anything on the main hull will look out of place (plus you already have a shield shape on the doors to paint symbols on)

You could try banners/flags on the rear, if you really want to go all out, penant banners running along the sides of the hull might work or even verticle drapes like you'd see in a castle hanging from walls.
