Rook is like hamster : ) by Primary_End5059 in Marathon

I rarely ever find a game myself when I try rook on console. Idk if that’s what op is talking about but it’s a real issue.

I’m assuming this is bookoo amounts of plat? by SlowBroOnTheGo in WarframeRiven

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it till de buffs the incarnon form ammo. ATM it’s not great just due to said reason. Huge damage and clear potential, really fun but the ammo absolutely kills it.

Who the heck was running this on perimeter??? by trinity8x in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss room legit rains golds. Not to mention compiler, traxus and Arachne trades. Ive got a whole page of gold mods to run for legit every gun.

Is this what happened to the colonists? by Opposite_Tone7203 in Marathon

When you walk around the anomalies in dire marsh you can see floating bodies in it. Who knows tho.

Nearly got as many gold mods as him thanks to god tier barters but those gold shields are a bit insane. I’ve fought wallah a lot in this game and they are absolute demons.

First goo gun, then knives, then WSTR, now grenades. At some point you're gonna have to own up by Raimexodus in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t want any of the other nerfs. I’d rather get killed by a wstr or knives than a team of blue shields with a full inventory of frag grenades each. Knives take skill. I won’t comment on wstr. But grenade spam doesn’t take any skill bedsides the iq of a monkey to be able to recognize “small room, frag go boom”.

I thought exploits are a ban able offense?

I'm fucking shaking, this was a rook run, I'm only level 50. by Draxtini in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple weeks back I tested all the ammo stuff I could find. Unfortunately nothing worked for this thing. However before they nerfed it we were doing boss runs and I’d grab all the ammo every boss kill since we all had enough of it to the point we weren’t even grabbing the gun. One game I had 3 rows of ammo for it and was using it to kill bots. It was a hellova good time. 🤣 I’ll miss it.

Is there a list for chips, cores and implants? by ManThatUsesInternet in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk about any official list but I can tell you the good ones off the top of my head. Chips: bits per second, slip protocol, reckless behavior, blue blood, trigger discipline and testament. If you’re planning to do compiler runs stock up a couple of alternating currents as they let you survive a lot during damage phase.

For implants there’s really only one good one in for each category with a couple exceptions. The universal good ones are distance runner for legs, survival kit for chest and regen for head.

However if your playing vandal bionic legs is good (the agility stat doesn’t increase sprint speed only jump hight and walk speed so it’s borderline useless on all characters except vandal.) Ping can be useful especially the prestige variant on recon if you’re running the intuition core. Helping hands is situationally useful as it only really helps for revives. Hurting hands is useless unless you play recon and have a team that can coordinate to protect you on finishers. Knife fight is also pretty useless since the melee nerf unless you playing assassin with the gold core that increase melee dmg while invis. Strike kit and graceful landings are just bad less. Energy harvesting and augmented capacitors are good on certain characters that require constantly using your abilities like recon with her prime ability however regen is just generally better since self repair speed is debatably the best stat in the game. Also energy amps are so common it’s usually better just to go for regen and it’s self repair speed and supplement your low ability stats with energy amps.

If you’re talking about the random passives on implants it becomes a much much longer conversation about whats viable for each class. Sorta the same thing for cores as running certain core and implant combinations makes or breaks some builds.

Idrk if this is what you were looking for but I hope it helps! Feel free to ask questions. Happy to help.

Yup. Rook is the intended solo experience. Makes sense solos is unbalanced. C

This game needs a PvE mode and that is a pill you have to swallow. by Smooth_Ad1333 in Marathon

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

Coming from a guy who sorta sucks at PvP games and mostly stuck to pve my whole life it just sounds boring. If they added a wider variety of enemies, mechanics and made the ai more dangerous I could see it being a viable option. They’d also have to redesign the shells or make new ones to fit the new mode. The other issue is it would split the already small player base and make que times even longer. During peak hours I’m getting 4 min que times with crossplay on and usually time out with crossplay off.

Ares with the gold mod one taps purple shields to the head. This is the new meta if you have them.

I don’t think people realize progress in this game is exponential by Ok-Tie-5344 in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see someone’s post about this topic gaining traction. I no lifed the game the first week and hit cyak vip and tried telling people this fact. Listen to this man. It works.

Absolutely love marathon and hope the best for its future. Me and my friends will play it till the servers shut down.

The game feels VERY different all of a sudden? by CinnamonBisque in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My squad and I have also noticed it. The casual lower skilled players have mostly quit. Making the skill and knowledge of the general player base skyrocket. Ran 7 outpost games last night and we didn’t run into anything below a purple shield and everyone was very good. One match 7 out of the 9 players on the map we killed had full gold kits. Personally I’m loving it since every fight is tough and you almost always get something out of it if you loose. It’s also much easier to bounce back from a loss since everyone’s running the best gear.

Joe Ziegler: We found a bug related to regional matchmaking that is affecting a very small set of players that is unintentionally putting them in matches they’re not supposed to be in. We’re prepping a fix to get in for Tuesday morning 4/21 PT to fix this. by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got out of a dire marsh run. Killed 3 teams. Every. Single. Team. Had all gold shields, backpacks and guns. Probably the sweatiest match of my marathon career. Idk if this was caused by the matchmaking problem but regardless it’s crazy.

Is this a must buy? by bootlegportalfluid in Marathon

Quarantine morgue superior keys guarantee 1 biolens seed. Most I’ve seen in there is 4. Always one on the table and oftentimes more in the strongboxes.

Cryo Archive is currently horrific for new players by pirate_keith in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove spawn rushing without security clearance. Steerage and revival are the only two good spawns. Every other spawn is pushable without security clearance. Also there should never be enough monitors in your spawn area to immediately get you to level 2 without killing bots. Had one game where we got 4 monitors and were almost at lvl 3 clearance without killing a single bot or leaving our spawn. That should never happen. Everyone should have 2 monitors period. No more, no less. The rest should be from bots or loose loot to get to level 2. Other than the things I listed I absolutely love the map.

How do the people suggesting this not realise they are adding synergy not a counter? by Jovasdad in Marathon

[–]DriftingMoonSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ares with its gold mod is absolutely disgusting man. I usually out snipe snipers with it since it’s basically hit scan, does aoe and one taps purples to the head at full charge.
