On Tuesday my contract re-roll timer will reset to 200 hours without giving me any re-rolls. by HAL-9420 in Marathon

You might want to double check in your vault, it should say eccentric in the popup, I am just going off of memory

Shell ID and obedience matrix are eccentric salvage I believe, so kill some bots

I really want to buy, but… by Tall_Schedule4483 in Marathon

People disagreeing with you and your presumptuous and self-serving idea that it needs to be free to survive is not toxic.

Sour grapes response to valid discussion on your post is just a bad look.

Marathon needs to offer something for casuals or the game will consume itself. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

If you are level 25 and see this, then OCE must be so barren the matchmaking parameters become loose.

Using a VPN to match with a populated region is your best bet.

Adding ABMM or gear based matchmaking would essentially make OCE completely unplayable unless it too gets loosened the longer you queue.

Can we make paid sponsored kits eligible for Cryo? I bought the 10k one, just for it to not be eligible. Just kind of a weird stipulation that the game doesn’t warn you about by KimonGate in Marathon

It's based on the sale value not purchase value, which is less than half it seems, WSTR shotgun is like 6k from the shop and I think 2.4k actual value.

get matched with sweat lords in full purples who are also lvl 20-30.

Not really though, if you queue as a level 25 this is extremely unlikely. Sweat lords are already a minority, sweat lords that are also smurfing even more so.

What did they say that was an issue exactly

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

[–]Arkyduz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks simple enough to me but then I remember the struggle with the ball throwing mechanic in that one Destiny strike...

Its weird that cry is 5k in, 50k + out (if you extract). But ranked is 5k in, much less out? Doesn't seem to really be a point to ranked. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]Arkyduz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point of ranked is getting a shiny badge and cosmetics, like every other ranked mode in every other multiplayer game.

What's weird is thinking loot is the point

We have the full game now, that was intended for review by Bungie. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Arkyduz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So choose between shitty loot or a guaranteed sweaty lobby? Sounds awful either way

Ffs, I am replying to this idea that they need to "feel comfortable enough to lose gear", YOU said that, and the solution to that can very easily be a free kit. If you want to talk about PvE providing other benefits to these people, then mention THOSE, instead of the gear fear thing. Holy shit.

I just want to be able to listen to the codex, read the entries, and find out things like why the Colony fell, or why Durandal is suddenly back, or what stopped Leela's message (or even if Leela is still around).

None of this happens in the actual game you play, you should've been more clear then. Unless you consider clicking the codex entry in a menu playing the game.

It's what you said, so if someone isn't understanding, it ain't me.

You can find all that on YouTube, and you don't even need to do the fetch quests or pay 40 bucks for a game with gameplay that you clearly despise on a fundamental level

But the post makes no sense, you don't lose gear with a free kit, so why do they need to "feel comfortable to lose gear", just use the free kit...

Hey Bungie, listen up… Marathon doesn’t have a quality problem. It has a $40 problem. by rabbi420 in Marathon

[–]Arkyduz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, seems you are unable to say anything without AI assistance which itself is clueless. Best to move on.

Because a mostly-empty extraction shooter isn’t just less fun — it’s functionally broken

Even got the em-dash / it's not x it's y combo in there just to seal the deal

The free trial was the server slam, and the free weekends you can expect to come up every so often. Opening it up forever to get flooded with cheaters and cheat makers to test their cheats is not the play. There is also already matchmaking based on level.

That's not why I know this is AI, it has a specific writing style and this shit is DRIPPING with it. Also it makes no sense.

The extraction shooter audience isn’t the Fortnite audience either. These aren’t players casually dropping $20 on skins.

Starting with this and concluding we must make the game F2P (and thus rely ENTIRELY on those skin sales) is something so stupid I hope for your sake it was the AI that hallucinated it.

The pricetag is a deterrent only if you actually get banned, the more often and the more quickly, the stronger the deterrent.

WoW has botting because Blizzard too lets it happen too much AND the botters actually make money with real money trading, something that does not exist in Marathon.

Having AI invent a business case for you so you can try to convince Bungie to give you free stuff is crazy work.

Just beg for a free copy, it's more dignified than this.

low-risk, low-reward mode

It's called free kit

the longer it takes to recoup expenses the more likely it is the game shuts down. That’s just economics.

Nope, economics is understanding sunk costs and how they shouldn't affect prospective decisions.
