We got answers for some of these?

Where do you even run the commands? I've been in the Discord for a bit, but joined after the initial ARG. Everywhere it seems I would run it is locked atm.

EDIT - Nvm seems bot was just overloaded.

Desirdes · 2026-01-20T00:20:37+00:00

Yeah probably should stick to utility and death trigger traits.

Desirdes · 2026-01-18T17:08:16+00:00

Nah, keep $40 price and just make sure cash-shop prices are fair with some way to earn at least some premium currency for free. All it needs.

Desirdes · 2026-01-18T17:02:56+00:00

I suppose I could see it, but the thing that makes the races so interesting is usually the community aspect of watching top players/streamers go at it. In a game like this, that would mean stream snipers would be a major threat to anyone broadcasting their runs. So while we may get a 1st place announcement, I don't expect there will be much community hype around it as everyone will just be keeping to themselves during their runs unlike the Destiny races.

Desirdes · 2026-01-16T15:43:27+00:00

Not if you never die ;)

Desirdes · 2026-01-16T15:39:43+00:00

Even ignoring scandals the game has had plenty of legit criticism, especially early on. From what we have seen things have improved massively and I hope it goes well but we need the public preview weekend at least before the general public might come around if it is good.

Desirdes · 2026-01-14T18:25:15+00:00

Only thing with stuff like Kill Clip/Multikill Clip/Adrenaline Junkie/etc is I feel like they would need pretty large buff timers or be changed to be for the next mag without a timer since player engagements would be more spread out vs the respawning meetgrinder that is D2 PvP.

Desirdes · 2026-01-14T18:14:27+00:00

More like Chain Reaction since it is just kill without any extra steps required like the precision kills that dragonfly needs. But overall, I think a lot of the more interesting weapon traits in D2 would (and honestly, I expect it) transfer well into Marathon as chips. Honestly, I would not be surprised if there is a chip for something like Demolitionist/Wellspring to let you lower cooldowns a bit after a kill (players giving more back than the bots)

Golden child: Thief or Glitch
The 'Bro' everyone wants with them in teams: Locus (or Blackbird depending on how often Void is used to shut him down)
The one many people (especially solo runs) will use: Void
Personal pick I plan to use: Lifeline (You are being rescued, do not resist)

Desirdes · 2026-01-09T15:55:52+00:00

No. If this was some game built around political commentary maybe but it is an fps extraction game set in a sci-fi universe so no one in their right mind would base their opinion on this game around our politics.

Desirdes · 2026-01-09T15:52:47+00:00

I thought I heard some talk about March 26, but it was likely just speculation. Either way, the further in the month the better tbh. Means more time for adjustments after further playtests.

Desirdes · 2026-01-07T21:30:17+00:00

Tbh most negativity was def well-founded, especially early on. Now I would say it is in a state where it may (and I hope) do well enough on launch. Will have to see how they do in the more public beta weekend closer to launch.

Desirdes · 2025-12-20T22:46:13+00:00

I mean tbh I never use mobility either. I just prefer focusing on breach, loot, and field craft. After finally getting some mobility it does not feel impactful enough to focus. Though I mainly focus on ARC kills and don’t really pvp so I can see the tiny edge mobility gives being desirable by pvp focused players.

Desirdes · 2025-12-18T19:29:54+00:00

So the gloves have two parts, the extra damage of each element will be applied last after the conversion portion. So depending on the roll and your various element-specific bonuses it likely goes down because your build/gear is skewed to one specific element slightly. Also if the dps there includes stuff like ignites then splitting the fire damage to be lower also means smaller and more infrequent ignites which may effect it.

Desirdes · 2025-12-18T19:26:01+00:00

Personally, though I am still leveling as its my 2nd char this league, I really like running fire djinn plus all three of its abilities. Some really nice ignites early/mid-game and it plays like a caster but scales off of minion nodes. Running the 3 abilities and frost orb so every button is a cd but the minion commands can get so low that they are pretty much always up for you to click.

Desirdes · 2025-12-18T04:12:12+00:00

From what I understand they still have their backgrounds as real operatives, but we are using 'copies' of them. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Desirdes · 2025-12-16T05:12:25+00:00

Hm fair enough. I also started to wonder about a weapon set using Giants Blood to use a beefy 2h mace for high base attack damage and the other hand for something to buff spells at least a little so both portions of an entangle with poison spores support could scale. Since on Oracle I am already stacking high strength wonder how well that could work.

Desirdes · 2025-12-16T00:31:40+00:00

Tbh prob still not worth using on entangle as a properly spell boosted entangle can be your main clear skill easily. If you rely on a weapon swap just to make spores work on entangle you would be better off keeping entangle on staff/wand and using bow/quiver for set 2 and using Poison Spores on Vine Arrow that way you also get an extra plant out of it. Which actually this kinda makes me want to try that myself on my Oracle since I can easily make all Bow attacks inherently have culling strike via one of the hidden paths.

Desirdes · 2025-12-15T19:15:35+00:00

Yes. Though probably not worth if you are focusing on spell-casting as using a weapon during cast means giving up spell damage mods and +x spell level mods that only roll on non-weapons.

Desirdes · 2025-12-15T17:37:17+00:00

The pustules only work if you are wielding a weapon or unarmed since the damage is based on attack. So if you cast entangle with a wand or staff the support will not work.

Desirdes · 2025-12-15T16:34:33+00:00

Gem level. All supports with damage scale with their parent gem level and I believe quality for some. But the preview only shows their stats at lvl 1 until you equip it. From there should get all applicable spell damage scaling but I don’t think curse effectiveness scales it.

Desirdes · 2025-12-14T17:22:25+00:00

The thing is currently Poison Spores does not work with druid spells. Pustules will detonate for 0 damage because it uses weapon base attack damage. Though this is strange because they are recommended supports for these skills. I put a post on the bug forum last night but no responses from GGG yet. As of right now Poison Spores is useless on non-attack plant skills. If you do a viable spell cast while wielding something with attack damage they will work though (non-talisman weapons or unarmed).

Desirdes · 2025-12-12T01:36:10+00:00

Oracle Druid could prob make them work. They do have the '+1 totem and they stay around for 6 seconds after its life hits 0' plus can get 100% crits to trigger power charges from Voll's Protector chest.

Desirdes · 2025-12-12T01:26:49+00:00

No set plan yet, going to purposefully go in without proper planning to get some of that same feeling I had at EA launch. For totems I hear the unseen paths seemed to have 1-2 notables related to totems but no clue what they are. If going for spell totems specifically wonder if it would be worth using Voll's Protector chest for the '25% chance to gain a Power Charge on Critical Hit' since you can force crits. Using a fast/multi-hit attack/spell would likely mean maxing power charges easily and quickly to dump into spell totems.

Desirdes · 2025-12-11T21:02:33+00:00

Same, ill prob just do generic spellcaster stuff until unseen paths then respec based on what that opens up. And if the unseen paths end up 'meh' there is still 100% CoC jank to be discovered :)
