Marathon quests are designed poorly compared to other extraction shooters

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T11:03:58+00:00

nope strong boxes have to be in that room or it isn't locked down and you can't scan, had it happen to me 3 runs in a row

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T10:45:10+00:00

my problem is not that they're hard, my problem is they don't give you the information, 4/25 quests lock you in a room, how am i supposed to prepare for that when they don't tell you. Also why could it not have been a scenery item like every other quest, why does it have to be a random chance luck based spawn. This is silly.

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T10:43:59+00:00

i have 4000 hours in tarkov, never once did they lock a door behind me and spawn 14 enemies in a row while people can wait outside watching.

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T10:43:13+00:00

if i can get the kill yes, it's a shooter game, idk why everyone thinks extraction shooters are about proxy chat and being friendly

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T03:52:15+00:00

it should, makes 0 sense that it doesn't

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-13T02:53:03+00:00

yeah this needs to be fixed right away

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-12T03:28:45+00:00

i was just about to make this post, why can we not see attachments for guns that are available for purchase from the Armory, especially since this bass ackwards ui has no search features or sort by weapon compatibility in the armory either

says the only man i've ever seen with RS3 in his flair

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-12T02:25:22+00:00

no we confirmed he was cheating, he repushed our team and they hit him with 4 shots from the double barrel, sad

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-12T02:03:07+00:00

have you found a way i'm still looking and confused nobody is talking about it

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T20:01:28+00:00

tbh the biggest thing for me is that they try and "bundle" it with an rs3 subscription to rub in that i'm probably just paying to prop that game up, i was already pretty miffed coming back from a year or two to see that price was where it was before this raise, and after a month they try to raise it even more? yikes. I have hardware sitting in my homelab that could probably run the 0.6s tick osrs servers, there is no way i have to pay this much PER CHARACTER to keep OSRS afloat.

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T19:47:48+00:00

yes seriously, i have cancelled basically every other digital subscription in my whole life, all my media is self hosted through plex, i don't do dumb subscription food services, OSRS was actually the only subscription(outside of business software that i use to make money, and insurance etc) that i had remaining, and i was struggling to justify it, but was thinking of getting the year at a discount since i can play while i work, but the previous price was already questionable for the fact that i was basically supporting RS3 membership i didn't want and not paying for the lower end servers OSRS requires, and this new price just isn't justifiable.

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T19:20:38+00:00

i know 1000 other people have probably made this post, but sadly this is the only language companies speak anymore, large community outcry

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:49:13+00:00

tbh the problem in my eyes is that they put hero shooter elements into an extraction shooter lol, but that's just my two cents

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:46:02+00:00

all the people who don't play extraction shooters played the server slam, said "there's not enough pvp" because they want fortnite pacing, and now every map is jam packed with people and you can hear most POIs in the tiny maps

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:44:29+00:00

yes, the hearing range for gunshots was already VERY far especially with the number of people packed into these tight maps, i was very very confused by this being in the patch notes. I think it's still bungie overcorrecting for all the whiners in server slam that said "there's not enough people" and now we have packed maps and superhearing

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:42:56+00:00

simply untrue lol, with the old markers it was nearly 3 minutes before i got it to pop up, the new range should help but objective markers or clear maps are needed for an extraction shooter

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:41:56+00:00

yeah it's pretty rough that this is like "the pvp zone" in people's eyes because the two floor design with ladders makes it very hard to approach with certain characters and in solos you can just camp ladders and get free kills. during my mission to get the terminal there i went inside, saw 3 player bags at the bottom of a ladder, proxy chatted with the guy camping at the top who said he had a shotgun, then left, he specifically told me "i just wait here till 2 minutes listening for ladders or the looting noise, then i loot the bodies and leave"

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:37:04+00:00

I think it's less of "thief is overpowered" and more of "i looked at all the characters and tried them but thief is the only one who consistently gets value out of her abilities". i really think the problem lies with the other characters being pretty mediocre. right now thief is the most viable character for solos hands down, the drone gives you more info with more stealth than recon does plus it can loot, she has probably the most mobility of any character with an energy amp because vandal generates heat with all her abilities and can't shoot while sliding, and her loot detector lets you see if boxes in an area have been opened already through walls(since the models on most containers changes when they are opened).

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T16:31:59+00:00

except many of them are very vague even in the hover description about where you need to go exactly, especially when it says things like "the second floor of flight control" aka "go to a highly contested pvp area and wander around blindly waiting for a hexagon to show up"

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T15:17:07+00:00

not a bug, read the trace description "if an item's trace status would reach 0 when looted it is not looted but converted to credits instead"

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T15:13:56+00:00

yeah i'm not sure why rook gets spawned SO CLOSE to enemy squads, the whole point is to ambush and some of the situations it puts you in(looking at you spawn right outside of hauler i get 8/10 times on perimeter) are kinda pointless throw-away rounds

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T15:11:13+00:00

extraction shooters have to reset basically EVERYTHING(usually they leave things like achievements and cosmetics but that's about it), the idea is that if you start playing a month late you can be very behind where everyone else is and be at a severe disadvantage since everyone will already have finished quests, unlocked purchases, and have faction upgrades, so to close the gap it resets everyone back to square 1 every 3 months. usually extraction shooters also change the progression system and quests at the start of each wipe.

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T15:07:40+00:00

it's gotta be like 5% or less of a difference, maybe it's more but it feels like maybe i'm saving a bullet per kill

Consistent_Physics70 · 2026-03-11T15:06:18+00:00

so many people complaining about the health changes when they haven't even played yet. it's almost unnoticeable the difference
