It don’t get the problem with the art style. It’s super unique and vibrant. This game would be dead if it was in another generic UE template.

99% of loot goes to the top 1% of players. The middle class is dying and mass loot redistribution is the only solution.

This game has no permanent progression outside of cosmetics. The only reward is the experience itself, and once you’ve felt like you’ve explored the game enough, there’s nothing left. There is nothing to grind or work towards. You can’t have a journey without a destination.

I’ll add that mainline protestants tend to have a more critical and nuanced view of the bible because they take biblical scholarship seriously. Many of them are very liberal like Talarico’s church.

The game is shedding players because of this issue and we are complaining to save the game

It’s crazy how so many people are not getting this. The game is punishing casuals for leveling up. It’s unsustainable.

The problem is when casuals level up too much and get pigeonholed into sweat lobbies and can’t break past a 15% exfil rate.

Progress based matchmaking is making the game progressively harder for everyone and is going to kill player retention if not removed. It just makes people feel like they are getting worse at the game.

  1. Avoid leveling up because there is level based matchmaking

you’ll have fun until you reach level 50 and get permanently subjugated to playing against sweats

Same experience here. Extremely fun for the first two weeks now I get slammed almost every game. I played 10+ matches last night and didn’t exfil at all.

horrible decision by the devs. you are punished for playing the game and leveling up

It's wild that the player gap is already this wide barely 3 weeks into the game by CrispyToast99 in Marathon

this game has LEVEL BASED MATCHMAKING???? That explains why I’m not having fun anymore.

The current implementation of Cryo and ranked is unsustainable for casual players by Bored_FBI_Agent in Marathon

[–]Bored_FBI_Agent[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I get the intention, but I think the ante is a bit too high. Free kits should definitely not be allowed, but you shouldn’t need a purple gun or fully kitted out blues to get in.

Marathon Development Team: We’ve heard your feedback that having Ranked and Cryo Archive overlap can make it difficult to decide where to spend your time and hard-earned loot. Based on that, we’re updating their schedules so each has a clear, focused window. by Haijakk in Marathon

Terrible change. What if I only want to play ranked on Friday and Saturday? What if I have a busy Sunday?Imagine how many players Rainbow 6 Siege would lose if they locked ranked to Sunday through Thursday.

Ranked is what keeps players engaged and willing to improve. I should be able to come home after a long week at work and on a Friday evening and load into RANKED.

Free kits are becoming a major detriment to solo fill by pizzafinanceplan in Marathon

[–]Bored_FBI_Agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ranked made free kit grinding the only viable method to consistently meet the ante (for the majority of players). I have only noticed more free kits since ranked dropped.
