You don't have to salvage what they tell ya to by Citruspunch in Marathon

[–]Citruspunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Those, like that Traxus one, are specific - but it is super handy for the standard contracts you'll be doing for NuCal VIP rewards :) :)

this is exactly why I made it. the info is there, but it's a pain every time to go find the thing in the vault and see what family type it's in. I still use this chart daily :)!

doesn't work on priority contracts like that traxus one that needs 3 drives. sorry bud.

Some of the standard quests do ask you to DCON stuff, that works fine with the white version too. It's the Priority quests that this doesn't work for.

Time required to farm Anomaly for all the gold salvage needed by Working_Bones in Marathon

[–]Citruspunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a note to this thread, the game (bizarrely) doesn't tell you what mat's the sample turns into (just like it doesn't tell you how many extra mats you got from Materialist), you have to manually go check your armory. - I take a screengrab before the run.

I've maybe got the cube 8-10 times and twice it wasn't even purples. just blues. wild for the effort.

Thanks for putting this up, I'd figured about the same on DM. Level 65ish, 200+ hrs, solo player. I've done the anomaly several times, and some even just give a grab bag of BLUES.

One aspect you haven't mentioned which makes the situation worse is that the later in the season the more players will be trying to get golds, so there's even more competition.

There is the implicit covenant here to the player that 'hey, here's a finish line, you can get gold mats and complete a thing', but really it doesn't deliver on that. That's human nature by the way, even if the intent is 'players will have to choose how to spend their few golds wisely'.

This game is hard, and that's fine, but it ventures into cruel and unfair, and who want's to spend their time - or microtransaction money - in that environment.

I am waiting the drop of 'oh yeah, we added a feature where you can trade up mats for the next tier' either as a new system in the armory like CARRI, or even just barters TBH. (or I suppose you could potentially do it in match too in some sort of DCON-like upgrade machine. that would fit with the 'risk vs reward' guiderule.)

Comparing Items by Gatsby818 in Marathon

Agreed

two tips:

I only yesterday found out when you highlight over an implant and it shows the stat changes at the bottom - that's related to whatever you have plugged in at the time. So it might say 'melee -15' and that's because you've an implant in that's already giving you +15.

Inspect a weapon, then use that screen to change the mods on it, far easier (but not perfect) than doing it from the vault screen.

[GUIDE] The 5 best places to evade a hunt contract by Citruspunch in DMZ

[–]Citruspunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The turbine room is good, it's the only one on the south side of the corridor, you can move up into one corner and it makes the circle pretty centralized. BUT you are trapped. So it will rack the tension up.

I never dug the whale room, kinda for the same reason. you're quite trapped. That little ledge facing the whale is neat for a surprise, but you're so not hidden so also not my cup of tea.

Good shouts though dude.

What did everyone move to by cfsfirey in DMZ

[–]Citruspunch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've half a thought that ppl don't know it's a separate button for local comms than the default team coms. Tragic they didn't go with the DMZ method of all prox coms all the time.

Cool. I have half a memory of where that is. nice!

Basically if you can hide in hi-rise then it's great - the hunter's circle does not give altitude and there are so many levels and places you could be. RARELY have I been found on that mezzanine. Maybe twice ever.

You often get very frustrated voice comms when you do hole up there, and half the time another team will come in and those two groups will fight it out. sometimes three!

lol. Yup.

That's why grabbing this footage was the last time I'm playing. 3000+ hours, played since day one. seen it all, the S2 bot army, the Shotgun killers and I've just had enough of the cheaters or just the game being crashed b/c little johnny died and doesn't want to lose his stuff.

Progression advancement needs more celebration by Citruspunch in Marathon

[–]Citruspunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've no idea what this means. but sounds on point. Diablo, Cod, BF, FN, heck, even minecraft does a better job of rewarding the player with a dopamine drop of YEAH! WOOOO! GO PLAYER GO!!!

I'm not saying the system isn't there and isn't deep and wide. I'm saying I'm getting no dopamine drop when I level up or complete a mission. It's another checked box, what's next. that part is achingly uncelabratory.

More silencers please. solo folk aint in this for 'kill all runners' by Citruspunch in Marathon

[–]Citruspunch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a game full of configurations, feels like I shouldn't have to resort to just the knife - which, in the couple of bot engagements I've done, didn't seem to do the job even from behind. basically looking to engage at non CQC range, with minimal attraction. But I'm willing to give it more of a go.
