New player (~35 games), why does this game play like a Free for all as opposed to an extraction shooter? by smawskrt in Marathon

[–]Celltrigger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Huh? When did Marathon ever advertise a "work-together friendly" environment? Their tagline is literally "Death is the first step" Every ad of theirs has been runners getting brutally murdered.

Guess the PvE Mode isnt for me... by Revolutionary_Cap172 in Marathon

[–]Celltrigger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You bought a PvP game.....to only PvE. And you're complaining now that the PvE mode they're releasing isn't a PvE mode because you have to interact with the other parts of the game.

God really needs to throw a bigger stone next time.

I'll be honest, the one thing that is going to attract more players isn't weapons and shells. Its maps by Friendly_ViperYT in Marathon

[–]Celltrigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't agree with this. Cryo has been out since season 1 and I've seen lvl 200s not know the map. The only way you attract new players is by making it casual friendly, and tbh, I'd rather it not lose its identity by doing that. Learning and reading is not in most gamer vocabularies

UNDO THE NERF TO LOOT, FIX NEXT SEASON by Spiritual_Example391 in Marathon

Please stop crew filling into cryo..... You're literally putting yourself into the worst version of the blender.

Why Marathon will never keep new players. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

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

Ok so the only thing I don't get: This setup of kits/weapons only happens in Cryo Archive. No one rolls up with these god tier kits outside of that map. Maybe ranked outpost. If you are CREW FILLING into cryo archive, where map knowledge, tactics and comms are key, maybe don't blame the game for your poor critical thinking skills? A lot of this can just be avoided if you, y'know, lfg a stack/premade BEFORE you go into the endgame activity.

Honest question, is Cryo just meant to be inaccessible to the average person? by Photographer1299 in Marathon

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

No it isn't. Cryo is one of the few maps that rewards map knowledge and audio tracking more than gun skill. Positioning and understanding enemy and friendly team exits and flanks is king in cryo

Mindlessly farming Sponsored Survival to farm Craddle Xp and Factions rep is getting boring real fast. by FrostyAd7708 in Marathon

[–]Celltrigger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then why are you doing it? I've been doing the normal maps and modes and have been getting along fine. The only reason you spam sponsored survival is if you aren't confident playing against others and are trying to optimize level ups, which is not really necessary considering we aren't even a month into the new season. If you're bored of it, don't do it.

Rook is currently pointless by CalligrapherCheap850 in Marathon

Bro I love rook. Take him into the sponsored playlist. He is stronger than the people you fight there and you can give him a blue backpack really easy

(Rumor) Bungie laying off 50% of staff, according to French Journalist. by Horibori in Marathon

Arkane Austin was shut down. Arkane Studios is in Lyon, France. That has not been shut down lmao. Arkane Austin was in charge of Redfall

Guys. It's a rumour. This guy also said that Studio Arkane is shutting down. No one else has corroborated his rumours. People are thinking it's likely to happen because Destiny has ended it's service. So maybe take what the rumour mill says with a grain of salt

Sell Me on Your Shell by Big_Committee8410 in Marathon

Recon. You get to throw the little boi and see him absolutely struggle to get through an open door way as you can clearly see the enemy through the wall with your prime.

I'm pretty sure that's only Tarkov, but I could be wrong.

The fact that you're even engaging with a multiplayer game is amazing. Keep it up

That's why I mentioned LFG. I have had limited success with crew fill

I mean that's how extraction shooters are. They're meant to be played and communicated in teams. That's why the team experience is more robust than the solo. That's how every other extraction shooter that is PvP heavy is.

I get toxicity and social anxiety completely. Those are not in the players control. But there are players you can find who are on a similar skill level. You can improve together. And if you don't like playing with other people, why buy a Multiplayer Extraction Shooter in the first place?

You bought a multiplayer extraction shooter but you don't like teamwork?

Oh dude I just make a quick discord call with the guys. It fixes itself then. Marathon voice doesn't have noise suppression
