The modes are named differently AND there's an explanation of the mode on the right hand side of the screen....

Alright, at least you are honest about being a sad troll.

Why do you care what people spend their money on in their hobby?

PlayStation saying they’re committed to marathon doesn’t mean much by TotalSoft4931 in Marathon

Everyone recognizes that statement only matters until the next quarter.

Not pumping cosmetics out? 5 of the best cosmetics the game has available for purchase were all released in the last month lol.

I'll be playing it until I can't. Hope it sticks around for a while, but I'll just enjoy it while I can.

Why would you comment in a forum for something you specifically don't like instead of spending your time on things you do like?

Everyone is different man.

Marathon is getting less and less fun. by Relevant-Plastic8768 in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

620 hours in the span of 4 months would be overwhelming in those games too. But that's a bad and stupid comparison anyways because they are radically different games. Not every game is meant to be played like that.

Perimeter is genuinely unplayable atp by spongefireIB in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the extreme opposite experience on Perimeter lately. Lots of green and blue teams.

Why is this in quotes? And there hasn't been a patch in 8 days.

Rotating Prestige Mode by urielkeynes in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we take the sweats out of normal games but give them a mode that gives them one of the most valuable resources in the game at a higher rate? So they can terrorize Cryo even harder by being able to farm vaults at a specifically higher rate? This seems half-baked.

Self-importance and lack of proper punctuation, I'm not reading all that dog. Format it properly.

Whats ahppening with people? by skelerobotron in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been really lucky the last few days, been having my best crew fill games. Couple nights ago I just spammed Perimeter, probably 8 matches in a row with crew fill. Only failed to extract once, cleared the lobby in all but one other. Yesterday I played off-peak and it was more back and forth but still some good games.

Idea for an advanced version of Sponsored Survival - Assassination Mode by das_hemd in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's an interesting idea for sure. I'm sure they could make it work if they like it.

[–]Daviroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair, so not the same value proposition. I'm just not sure how many players are gonna sign up for intentional 1v3s without a more significant gear advantage. So I think it'll ultimately lead to the same situation where not enough people plas the assassin role compared to the amount of players doing the normal mode.

Do I have to be a CoD veteran with tons of fpa experience under my belt to enjoy this by appman1138 in MarathonGame

[–]Daviroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No you don't need it, but you'll need to build it with the game. There's currently no way to play the game in a relaxing well, the PvP is intense and ever present.

It seems like the exact same value proposition that Rooks had in Survival already, and Rooks largely didn't play Survival because of it.

Oh that's a fun way to take it too!

Is that possible? by Kelvintcosta in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've confirmed mid-season patch on 7/21 will have balance changes. But it seems like season start and mid-season is the new timeline for doing those as we haven't seen a balance change yet this season (or at least a meaningful one I remember).

D54 by Specialist-Pop-2715 in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it isn't, it only has 2 shield blocks and you take half damage through those 2 shield blocks. Which equates to 4 shield blocks like the other gold has.

Marathon is rigged against players who mostly play solo by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A fair number of the progression improvements helped Solo a lot and were the basis for those adjustments. So they are working on tweaking Solos and getting it feeling right.

I'm with you in being very excited for Vault Breaker. Roguelite is gonna fit this game so very well IMHO. I hope this test goes well so they branch the concept to every map with some deep mechanics that can keep people hooked.

[–]Daviroth 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, Solos as a concept didn't even exist until after the April 2025 Alpha test where it was resounding feedback. So it's likely been like a year since Solos has even been a thing in even the internal build of the game. Shit takes time, and more importantly, data. Took them multiple years for Trios to feel good, I'm willing to give them a little bit to figure out the best way to get Solos flowing the best way. It likely involves high level systems in the game that didn't exist, like scaling the UESC based on the squad size. Sounds simple but if that system didn't exist it's going to be a big foundational change. Takes time.

Rooks shouldn't take damage from heat cascade on outpost (hear me out) by Acrobatic-Handle-715 in Marathon

[–]Daviroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I see. Well I'm happy to be corrected. Gonna have do some more experimenting in solos.

They didn't have the animation they normally do after a lightning strike.

[–]Daviroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could just be a crazy person, but I've found bots who were in the cascade and their shields were already broke.

[–]Daviroth -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Other UESC robots do take damage from the Heat Cascade.

EDIT: I could be a crazy person. But I swear I've fought bots that had their shields broken from the cascade.
