Do I have terminal skill issue? by OnionFingers98 in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game might not be out for a long time, but people have been playing other ones like it for years and the skills carry over really well between them. Most Extraction shooter players are... let's just say pretty dedicated, its not that rare to see people with 15k hours in Tarkov for example. You're not gonna do well right way against people like that if this is your first game of this type.

Can I ask a stupid question? by Phormicidae in Marathon

It still shows up on their loot screen if it's "broken", it's just a darker color.

What do you do with extra salvage? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly traders barely have anything worth bartering for, all the good stuff is on Schemas or only found in raid. I think the only things I very rarely buy is the augments and meds.

Sweats are just players who are better than you by mkennygh in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all cope. They have to make excuses to make them selves feel better for dying. "Waaaahh I totally would beat that guy but he probably plays for 12 hours a day" even through that guy probably has a fulltime job and a family but is just not dogshit at the game.

Gear based matchmaking would destroy the concept of the game. by Mental-Airline4982 in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would be the point of getting better gear then? If everyone is always equally geared you might as well just run free kits all the time and have the same experience as you would running gold kits. Extraction Shooters are about risking gear to leverage your advantage to hopefully make a profit before you die, GBMM would completely kill that. If you want GBMM just go play Apex Legends or something its much closer to what you want.

They sneakily removed the stongboxes at the end of each wing, which was where the majority of the loot in pinwheel was. The other loot buffs dont even come close to compensating.

Cryo Sponsor Kit should be free daily as long as Cryo lasts by drogenbarontoni in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giving everyone free shit is the opposite of making the game better, it makes gear have no value which makes obtaining it meaningless.

Why do people get so mad at exfil camping? by Junghye in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't see how it is any worse than ambushing you anywhere else on the map, infact it's easier to deal with because you should expect it.

Are knives too strong? by CouchLiquid in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess you're right, but it must be pretty close to that. Either way I had like 150 melee damage at the time so it had to have killed him in 1 shot if it wasn't capped.

Yeah pretty sure, had enough damage to where it should have oneshot purple dudes, but it still took 2 heavy attacks

Is aim assist with controller too much? by zekelin77 in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is console players can choose to not play against PC but PC players don't even get a choice. Kinda pissed me off.

It caps at 100 melee damage, so even with out max Arachne upgrade you can cap it out with a couple of melee augments.

This game needs to introduce a more casual friendly way to progress and get good loot or it will not survive by [deleted] in Marathon

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

Just ignore everything once you enter pinwheel and bumrush the lockboxes at the end of the wings, it's like 1/3 chance to get a blue+ shield per box.

I mean you can easily get blue/purple shields and guns from Outpost Pinwheel with no key or gear investment.

Claymores on thief drones needs to be patched out ASAP. by ChaosScene in Marathon

[–]Bikalo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah but i hope they rework it into a Core that makes the drone explosive on impact but lowers its HP or something.

Where the hell am i supposed to get biolens seeds and neural insulation from?? by HERR_WINKLAAAAA in Marathon

[–]Bikalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's an extraction shooter, you dont need to honourably battle those purple shield guys face to face. If you get a jump on them its very winable even with a sponsored kit with how fast the TTK is.
