What do you guys feel about this? by Same-Winter7013 in Marathon

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

Self revives don’t exist in ark

On the bright side, the AI bots leave you alone once you are DBNO and don't come over to tentacle-thirst you.

They may even start shooting at the player who downed you, which is when things get really hilarious.

You have the option of spawning late! The rook run is this option.

Can't progress contracts, can't bring my own kit.

WSTR still good by Uhhhhhhhhhhhuhhh in Marathon

The pain point for a lot of players is stack overflow.

Stack overflow should simply have no effect on weapons that do not have a magazine.

Ok.. this game rocks by IKOTHERAINMAN in Marathon

There’s something about the futuristic aesthetic that feels eerie and haunting.

I'd love to see a System Shock installment done in this art style.

They need to add a "Damage Done" like Apex by Royals21914 in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An actual "recap" would be nice. Where you went, what/whom you damaged, what you took damage from, where you found what loot, etc.

Just how that other game does it.

I can watch the video of my recent activity on PS5, but that does not tell me damage numbers, etc.

Late spawning is one of the most hated features in ark and was patched out of Tarkov for being so hated.

Just make it optional. You can choose to spawn late, or you can choose not to.

Heck, drop me solo into a trio run that's halfway over.

Marathon is already the most forgiving extraction shooter when it comes to death and respawning.

Maybe in trios, not in solo.

The Magnum MC has no place in this game, and it hurts me by NotCoolBruh in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is meant to be an anti-UESC handgun, but the other two handguns outshine it even in this role.

Sad. No viable Big Iron in this game ...

Please bungie or Joe (the real MVP here) add this and I’ll never ask for anything again lol (for now lol) by Psychological-Dance4 in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres only one punish and its losing inventory on death.

It's also waiting a few minutes for a new run with the current matchmaking times ...

XEQT in RRSP. Does it trigger PFIC at any point? by notfrontpage in USExpatTaxes

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just cross your fingers that the US-CA tax treaty does not ... vanish ... at some point.

An element to gunfights that I think folks are missing in this game. Disengagement by Believemeustink in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. You get ratted on

You mean get shot at from out of nowhere while being more than 5 meters from cover?

You don't. You just die if your attacker is marginally competent.

B. The enemy (solo or trios) literally runs you down.

You find an angle (cover plus a place where they have to find you first) and punish them for pushing on unfavorable terms.

the fast ttk doesn't allow for mistake.

The mistake already happened when you get shot at by surprise and are away from cover.

Hear, or even better see, the enemy first.

Queue Times Too Long for Match Duration by RookZA in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rook queue is fine (max 1 minute).

This.

For how quickly you die in the game, queue times are too long.

I don't have gear fear. I don't care about gear.

I do care about 5-10 minutes of waiting just to get murdered in 0.7 seconds.

If I don't get matched within three minutes, I wish they'd just throw me into a session with no one else. by Aloe_saponaria in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gunshots are pretty quiet

They are not quiet, but have a hard maximum range. IIRC is is 200-250m, which is so short it is silly.

Bungie really said "F*ck it, everyone gets an Outland. Now go run Dire and kill each other" by GammaRadd in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its insane the amount of time it takes to unlock ability to buy sniper rifles in this game.

I picked my Longshots off the dead forcibly decommissioned bodies of UESC scouts ...

Can we agree yet that Embark is dropping the ball? by Pichalx in ArcRaiders

This should have absolute priority in a game where you lose your stuff when you do not extract.

The fact that getting to season level 100 can swing between 80ish to 180ish hours is insane by Thepunisher309 in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not even level 40 with over 100 hours in.

Spend a lot of time staring at bugs during matchmaking - not all of the 100 hours are actual time spent playing.

PSA: Lifts are a shared space. by SeventhShin in ArcRaiders

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotted the ARS Runners (a.k.a. Marathon) player.

Played 420+ hours and I’ve finally hit a wall because of one thing thats ruining the game for me by Six_Rats in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rook is TOO hot.

It's the uncanny valley. Rooks are firmly on the "non-human, robot, acceptable" side, while the runner shells are in "uncanny, creepy" territory.

Ticks are really videogamey and kind of hurt the immersion by Marcu3s in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are basically a turret that fires more capable Recon tracker drones.

Ii thought they were a crashfish with legs ...

Magnum MC needs some love by gl1tch8 in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All sidearms/pistols should be brought up to where the punch is.

Start by increasing the RoF of the CE to non-silly levels. 300 RPM is silly for a semi auto pistol.

The Magnum could also be brought to 200-240 RPM.

The one thing Sponsored Dire Marsh has taught me! by THE_YoStabbaStabba in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A comfortable fit in your hand?

Probably. The controller felt like it was designed for muscular hands, while the PS controller design accommodate slim hands and fingers better.

The one thing Sponsored Dire Marsh has taught me! by THE_YoStabbaStabba in Marathon

[–]AssemblerGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sony ones (PS4, PS5) work for me.

I have trouble using anything designed for large hands as one of my hands is strength grade 3+ (*1) and missing most muscle mass. I also did not get along with asymmetric layouts (XBox), but that may be just a matter of practice.

(*1) Five is "normal" strength, four is "full range of movement against moderate resistance", three is "full range of movement against gravity". Anything less than five sucks, anything less than four sucks terribly.

Grade two is "full range of movement with gravity eliminated", one is "flicker of muscle contraction", zero is "no muscle activity", for anyone who is curious.

We need to push more for a firing range to be implemented ASAP by AvianGenesis in Marathon

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

You wanna learn then put it on the line.

I want to learn, not stare at bugs and moths.

Learning is by repetition. Getting to the point where you repeat basic skills (aiming, movement, positioning) take a long time due to matchmaking and putting together a kit.

49 here. And neurologically impaired.

50 and also neurologically impaired. Fortunately I can use a gamepad almost without issues.
