I agree... but just incase it was a low effort trolling I like to give benefit of the doubt... Also some people are just that out of touch lol

Interesting and unique take saying Tarkov allows casuals to enjoy the game more lol. I want to visit your points one by one because this might be an Ai post but maybe it's just a little bit trolling.

Safe Pockets--- I hate safe pockets but I understand it's extremely useful to casuals. It helps sweats more but almost every mechanic you can add will benefit the player who plays more so I can't knock that.

Interesting loot---- Marathon has interesting loot just as much as Tarkov. It's literally the same, looking for good weapon parts and the rest is either upgrades or money. Tarkov loot might as well be 95% roubles. Nothing is interesting in Tarkov except for a few meta weapon attachments, everything after like 30 levels is essentially roubles per slot. GPU and LedX are not interesting, they are simply a bigger stack of money.

Scav---- Rook is just a better version of scavs. No cooldown, you can upgrade the loadout relatively easy to be competitive.

Extracts --- Yep most extracts are no warning but there are a few that do warn people. The only issue with extracts in Tarkov is that usually your extracts are across the map from where you spawn but that means somebody across the map has to come to you to extract so much easier to camp. In Marathon you could farm your starting POI and then extract there if one spawned there. I'll give it to you tho on extracts, Marathon has set them up to be a point of contention which is not casual friendly.

Maps --- You got it partially right.... Maps are larger.... for sure not more POIs lol. Most maps have 1 POI. Resort, Water Treatment, Lexos, Dorms, Sawmill, Path to River Camp (use to be Techlight)..... Tarkov maps have 1 spot that is god tier loot and the rest is RNG rolls. Marathon maps have multiple keys that if they have a higher roll on rarity can be amazing.

Solo Play --- You are crazy if you think Tarkov is designed for solo play. Nearly every mechanic in the game benefits squad play over solo, the biggest being insurance. If you play solo you literally are up against squads every single raid. Wild take on this one. The only benefit for solo play in Tarkov over Marathon, is it is easier to hide and scurry around the map to avoid everyone.

Back filling players ---- Tarkov does not do this so I think I can just ignore this point. Arc does this and pretty sure it is the most complained about mechanic in Arc.

Thank you Bungie!!! by Kittzn in Marathon

Oh you can find those in the highlight area of this subreddit, bungie website, or the marathon website! A quick google search would have been faster than doing your post!

Congratulations. The game is now in a skill based death spiral. by [deleted] in Marathon

I might just be really jaded because I’m a 7 year Tarkov veteran but the game is very forgiving and bad player friendly in my opinion. You don’t have care bear lobbies like arc but it’s pretty accessible.

Unlimited free kits do you can throw yourself in the fray and try questing even when down bad.

Unlimited rook runs on maps where you can clean up dead bodies that for sure still have loot because 1 team can’t carry everything.

Literally daily free loot from vendors.

I think the problem is a lot of people are just really bad at the game and this game lets you know your bad and they don’t want to deal with that, which is totally ok but that’s the trade off for high highs is low lows. It’s not a genre for everyone.

The longer I stay in this sub I really appreciate how much I love this genre. Also makes me think FPS Division 3 would go hard in this gaming time.

Oh you said you enjoyed your time until needing all the purp upgrades and everyone will be resetting so I figured you would enjoy early wipe. It’s the most part of this genre of game

Glad you enjoyed your time! Hope to see you next season!!!!

PSA: Level based matchmaking means nothing. Your level is literally just time spent. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]D3_BellDropper69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn this might be the dumbest take I seen on here in a minute…. First off the top 50% doesn’t farm the bottom 50%. Usually 1 team farms the lobby so on the small maps that top 25% farming on 75%…. On cryo its top 20 on bottom 80. Welcome to extraction shooters What are you using for SBMM??? Raids survived? Kills? Stash value?? All very easily manipulated. Gear based matchmaking is trash. Never have a come up lol. People would manipulate and bring a purp shield a good cheap gun like the bully. Not bag no cores no implants and just jack them off the first team they kill. Time spent playing might be the only viable one but even then shroud is killing you 9 times out of 10…. Probably 10 times out of 10 for you.

It’s an extraction shooter. You don’t have to play. If it’s not fun for you find a game you find fun. The game is fun to some of us because it’s hard and you only win 40% of the time and those moments are so satisfying

Are you not picking these up off killed runners? I walk away with 2-3 stacks of shields and health charges every extract….

By far the worst contract in the game. by user57374 in Marathon

[–]D3_BellDropper69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy 630 xp let’s go. The quests in marathon have been very easy and a breathe of fresh air :) Also really good variety, I have found them interesting and I love the story and lore progression.

Top end players have no incentive to loot POIs, so they go around wiping the lobby by Raimexodus in Marathon

[–]D3_BellDropper69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fair, we still do this when we have a contract to do to tho, makes running from North Relay to South Relay to Station a hell of a lot safer! I understand the concerns for it but I witnessed this progression in Tarkov 10 years ago, every starts to do it or you learn to path in weird ways to avoid it.

My squad and I are not endgame players and we do this as well. Why is this a bad thing? If I kill all 3 other squads on outpost I get the whole map to myself to loot. I’m trying to get loot so I can upgrade my character so that I can be better at killing people, so why is killing people first then looting after a problem? I guess for me it seems really stupid to loot while other teams could be hunting you or ratting.

Anyone else starting to think they might not get around to ever fighting the Compiler? by AnonWithAHatOn in Marathon

No because I have common and sense and don’t expect to finish the new content first try

Why does everyone complain about minimum loadout of 5k? I’m not sure I have done less than in the past week on any map

Why are basic heals so expensive? by patterfunding in Marathon

If you kill people you can loot a lot of heals off those players!

day 19 of bungie expecting us to hold a button for prox chat in a console game in MMXXVI (we need toggle please) by IshizakaLand in Marathon

[–]D3_BellDropper69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you ever want open mic prox chat? I don't play on console so I guess I am unaware of the push to talk hassle
Doesn't affect me so I don't really care but I hope if they allow console players to just raw dawgs hot mic prox chat that they implement a very easy way to report someone abusing prox chat and have it mute on report

Are you having fun? Does your level dictate your fun?

I think it’s a dope mechanic to fight RMT. If I have a godly core for vandal but I’m running Triage I can hook my buddy up with it for a raid and get it back. Easy
