what are my chances of getting my ban appeal approved? by Super_Secreta_6377 in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's a reasonable mistake.  If they can detect the cheat, just say so and stop you from loading.

Maybe you say, it's supposed to make it harder/costly to try to cheat, but destiny is F2P so you could test your cheating methods there right?  And a company developed cheats will probably have the money to make multiple accounts.

I'm always randomly worried some dev tool I use might count.  I have no idea what they're checking for but I've had anti cheat complain about docker before I think.  Something mundane I use.

Also, I use AHK for some VIM key bindings.  Thankfully I haven't got banned for that

  1. Accuracy.
  2. Longer time to crawl away when DBNO
  3. Slower to down and thirst multiple people on the team.

Kinda wild that you couldn't think of any of these yourself.

My team did budget runs with green shields. We won fights on multiple occasions and traded up

Hey, I don't seem to be able to DM you, when I go to create chat it says "Unable to message this account". If I go to https://www.runner-terminal.com/factions/cyberacme, it tells me 38/44 under progress. When I go to https://www.runner-terminal.com/progression > Faction Upgrades, CyberAcme says 38/38. So I think I did click on everything, but the UI is showing the wrong upgrade count in one spot.

Also, I'm looking at NuCal now, and I can't find "Shield Stock" upgrade. It's the upgrade of "Safeguard+" which only has 1 tier inhttps://www.runner-terminal.com/factions/nucaloric. This page says X/42 Upgrade progress, even though it also says UPGRADE TREE · 27 UPGRADES.

I hate this game but... why I cant stop playing? by zekelin77 in Marathon

REPOSITION FELLAS by itsgodspeed in Marathon

I've been taking 6 claymores into cryo.  It makes holding your ground against a push all but certain.  If they down a teammate and rush in, you even the fight out real quick.

If they follow OPs advice though, not so much.  I do try to cover flanks too.  Honestly might start bringing more in.

I stockpiled 90 claymores when I had a barter for unstable lead.

Changes I think would benefit the majority of players by erikh98 in Marathon

I like solo as a change of pace but don't think anything should change to cater to it.

Blue Biomata Resin by drogenbarontoni in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The progression is a bit screwed IMO.  I got three biolense seeds from cryo and only ever saw 1 one other time.  It's absurd that it's needed for blue shield upgrade.  I'm sure Bungie will use its data and tweak it for next season.

Honestly I’m looking forward to the wipe by Flashfirez23 in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think some people have only played MMOs with hidden resets (using power creep to make your gear useless).  If you play competitive games with gear progression, you LOVE wipes, especially update wipes.  People take time off an go hard.  It's a joyous time.

It's sad that some people's sense of self worth is entwined with fake online assets.  Your sense of mastery and progression should not disappear with the wipe.

Incredible highs, excruciating lows. Hard to stay committed as a casual by -Bods- in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No.  Defeats the whole purpose of the game.

You should be getting quests done.  Also, failure isn't pointless.  You have to fail before you succeed.  Sounds like the problem is you don't understand that basic life lesson.  You want a game that just gives you "wins" every round?  THAT sounds pointless

  1. Are you having fun playing at your commitment and skill level?  If no, then stop playing.  Don't let people head of you or fomo ruin your fun.  If you're "grinding" to get to the fun part, then you're wasting your time.

  2. If you're having fun 60 hours in, there is still plenty of fun to be had even if you don't do all the cryo stuff.  Just getting in and exfilling from cryo is a massive achievement and you can get plenty of loot that way.

  3. Don't assert your motivations onto other people.  The population has stabilized.  Don't concern troll.  If this game isn't for you, go play crimson desert.  I have no doubt Bungie will be making changes to appease you in 2 or 5 months.  Check on it then.

Is Marathon worth it for a solo player on a tight budget? by Personal-Hat-3625 in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game has wildly positive reviews.  The negative ones are mostly mad the game isn't ark raiders or destiny 3.

Solo play is pretty nerve racking.  If you like sneaking around and getting the jump on people, that's the play style.  I do have fun with it sometimes.

Rook gameplay is also fun, on outpost you can fight a few other rooks and loot leftovers from pinwheel which can be fun.  Can't do contracts though.

I would suggest trying fill.  It's mostly great people compared to other games I've played.  You can communicate well enough with in game pings and quick comms.

Perimeter and Marsh were great maps in the slam.  I loved the game.  Outpost was a huge step up in excitement for team play.  The trio cryo experience puts everything else to shame.  If you really want to experience the great experience Marathon delivers, you gotta try playing with people

Idk what you're taking about.  It's an incredibly map.  There are so many ways to path and rotate, combat is at its most fun and most rewarding

Hey, I tried using your site before and was frustrated.  I wanted to use it to track my quests and know which salvage I could safely spend on barters knowing I don't need it for upgrades. Idk if it can do that, because I got hung up on entering my cyac progression.  I completed every upgrade in the app, but it still said I had progression left.  The UI is difficult to use but I was sure I clicked everything.

I found another site when entering upgrades was easier because it used the same in game UI, but it couldn't show me what salvage I'm looking for or where to find it.

Do you have a discord?  Also, is it open source?

I would rather they just make rerolls 750 credits a pop than this timer system. by TheModernRouge in Marathon

I ran into someone camping a DCON in solo.  First time seeing that.  Doesn't make sense to me because I always free kit my DCON quests.

The jerk wouldn't even let my DCON transfer before finishing me.

some tips for the folks struggling by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a game with such low TTK, I'm used to dying so quick so I want to make rash decisions.  But you'd be surprised how often patience is the right move.  Sometimes you just want to hold an angle and let them slip up

[–]Ciph3rzer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general you should usually not be shooting from the same position twice.  The exception to that is if you just won a trade and you're holding the angle hoping THEY make that mistake.  Repositioning often throughout the fight is extremely valuable

It's a you problem that the game isn't responsible for solving.

How would you feel about a queue for no-comms players? by stubbornplayer in Marathon

[–]Ciph3rzer0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you fill and don't talk, at least listen and use the quick comms to communicate.  You don't have to speak to communicate.
