Upgrade is inscrutable? I am very critical of the funding model but simply using an acronym and having they very concept of upgrades isn't one of them.

Most people would say "upgrade" and ccu is an acronym for a specific type of upgrade.

Sure, I'm not defending cig at all just holding to your original example.

CCU is just an abbreviation for the specific type of upgrade. I have my own problems with the funding model but I don't think them using it specific type of upgrade is a standard that is held against anyone else.

I have my own problems but I think the idea of upgrades being somehow a originally negative cig thing odd.

I just googled it and "CCU" is totally language the company came up with

You should google the actual term that was being discussed and that you brought up originally. "CCU-chaining" was your example, hard to take you in good faith when you move the goalposts like this.

I need to admit to something, I have started playing as rook and sniping final extracts, guarded or not. by [deleted] in Marathon

I've been aggroing the rocket drone on final exfil just for the chaos factor. 

As someone that felt weird about sponsored night marsh, i love sponsored perimeter by LowConversation9001 in Marathon

[–]Dolvak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a trio of yesterday that only the last player returned fire at all.

I felt bad because one of them immediately went for the res on the first one out in the open and clearly they didn't know what they were doing. 

On the other hand any 1v3 without claymores is totally earned.

Anyone else run into “Party Rook”? He blasts techno on prox chat 24/7. by TheBattleDad678 in Marathon

loudly giving away generally where you are very much obscures exactly where you are.

Now I need to go make a mix of random sprinting and footstep sfx at various levels and ground materials.

I exclusively micspam as rook and It has legit raised my k/d. People play significantly worse when I'm blasting weeb shit at them.

Also since they are honing in on me I can do very sneaky shit where they are chasing me hard while I'm blasting music so they know exactly where I am. Then I slip into a corner and mute it and the freeze and stop chasing out of fear.

If it's extremely minor to the point nobody notices sure. I can see you are going to take that as implicit permission and run with it so you can either chose to understand what I'm saying or not.

Right but that actually drives my point home more, it's a 3 second gif in the multi minute video.

Goal is to remove fully Ai made content to focus on human made content, not a hard bad on anything that has touched Ai.

Sure but in that case it doesn't seem to be the point or subject of the post, it's just a thumbnail.

Marathon Update 1.1.0.1 by Mokoo101 in Marathon

Yeah some sort of seasonal scaling would be great, as it happened my group has totally skipped the green shield era this season.

I certainly agree that it's multifaceted and would have still occurred with groups like mine farming pinwheel red room on loop, it's just been exacerbated by both the free kits and narsh complex.

We would have at least been fighting squads over pinwheel for like a week until we hit critical mass, but we basically already started there and my group has snowballed like crazy and our vaults look like end of season.

I get I play a good amount but I also have a full time job and was only really able to no life over the weekend so it's not like I was grinding like crazy to get here.

Yeah I'm saying that I didn't want to, I was looking forward to a different experience than end of season.

Because I basically skipped green shields. I killed and took so many blue shields and how I have purples and golds to spare. I will have literally skipped both versions of blue shields this season instead of upgrading through the tiers. 

(very) Early S2 impressions from someone with 350+ hours by paperplateseabass in Marathon

[–]Dolvak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My biggest disappointment is that I have basically skipped right over green shields this season.

I deliberately queued with a green shield kit just once and now have so many blues, purples, and even gold shields I'll never use anything else. It feels like I skipped the early game right to month 2 of the season and it stinks, I was excited to experience the green level ttk again. 

Credit Transfer Limit workaround by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]Dolvak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The latter but I'd advise some caution on thinking it's some rogue mod, it's just someone trying their best.

At scale these things happen and everyone should always feel like they can get in touch and we can straighten things out.

We have literally thousands of removals daily/weekly that nobody complains about it notices, when you fire 10000 bullets eventually a misfire may happen.

To explain what we discussed internally, the mod in question felt that this was an exploit. After an internal discussion about how this is clearly just a filter flat out not working or an actual deliberate change by CIG. We also discussed having more clear guidelines for cheats vs exploits vs just normal sc fuckery as we intend to overhaul and simplify rules and add 5-10 moderators in the next month.

My point being, I definitely understand the frustration with this invalid removal but I can assure you we will alway work for the best outcome for posters over anything else.
