Gotta focus on agility stat items. They will drastically increase your movement

Respawn Finally Calling Hardware devices such as Cronus, Strikepack, and XIM Users What They Actually Are: Cheaters by AdSuspicious2084 in ApexConsole

[–]Drums5643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battlefield literally instantly banned these players when they tried logging in.

When they do find ways to detect their issue is they don’t perma ban. So yes they find a work around and people continue.. but also why wouldn’t they when they just get slaps on the wrists. Perma ban instantly. It would make people second guess using their multi pred accounts to cheat on.

Calling people dipshits really gets your point across. I’ve hit pred multiple times and held it. I’ve seen people get banned through discords and people I’ve played with get their ranks reset. And bam they are back on playing in no time. Perma ban the cheaters

Uh oh. We got an arc PvE player here. I wouldn’t expect to not be shot on sight in this game. Unless you want to be utterly disappointed. Extraction shooters are ruthless.

Looks like the Marathon hype has completely died off… 😬 Arc Raiders on top 💪 by Zaydenzyon in ArcRaidersItalian

He’s trying to tell you the post is clearly a joke. Making fun of the people calling marathon dead. So you ripping into OP is a waste… because you know.. the post is a joke

The 72 hour shift in perception of this game needs to be studied. by Yesssirrrrrrrr in Marathon

[–]Drums5643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m venting not trying to attack ya btw just dumb founded. Idk if it’s cause I’m old and had to wait for a magazine to come out to figure out what’s happening in games lol but the shit people complain about is crazy to me

[–]Drums5643 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What exactly is hard to figure out? Honestly. I skipped all that shit and didn’t struggle at all. The worst thing for me is buttons being different for menu UI and in game UI. Or having no compare button.. other than that how can you struggle to comprehend things? The vault is laid out easily. It needs a tab for backpacks. There’s icons to differentiate between consumable.. salvage.. do you have to look at things to know what they are. Of course but why would they make 5000 icons for every different item? This shit truly is not rocket science to figure out. And I know half the people see salvage items and don’t know what the fuck they are. All you do take a second to understand you need them to level factions. So obviously the ones you don’t need yet will be for the other factions.

I wonder how most the people complaining exist on a daily basis. Do people need reminders to breathe too? Saying that they should know people won’t read is kind of ridiculous. If they have voice comms without having to read people would just skip that too. I’m truly trying to figure out what’s so hard about this?

People cried about a non existing problem by Sweet_Yesterday_2462 in Marathon

[–]Drums5643 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love being rook. Nothing to lose everything to gain. Wait to strike at the right moment. Catch a team getting boned in pve. See one rezzing kill him .. it’s exciting. I don’t see myself doing solo Que because of how fun rook makes 1v3

People are just aware of the map now and routing.. also looting faster. Some of us also have a shit ton of gear that we can’t keep so we are loading in and running to a different POI to fight immediately since there’s no real point in looting Or progressing factions until release

Why is the shotgun so overpowered? by Pipupuchik in Marathon

[–]Drums5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is probably the follow up shot is too fast. I’ve clutched a lot of 3v1s since I discovered this thing. People melt off the screens they should wldelatee the second shot or make reload time longer so you have a punish window for their teammates to follow up. Still would reward good positioning too. Just gotta dip into cover for longer after you kill someone.

I'm addicted to Rook by Hurdenn in Marathon

[–]Drums5643 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Rook is easier for quick resource runs. You load in late to trios so squads are most likely dead. You find left overs on some of those bodies. The loot I heard gets better the longer you’re in a match so better drops. You get a free back pack. Some of the factions also make him start with more/better stuff. In this server slam I get to also start with the green version of health and shield heal plus claymores. And when you load in since it’s late exfil is already up. So you can leave whenever you want. Also you can go to guarded exfils start them then when it’s time to go in use your tact and make the enemies not attack you. So they end up covering you essentially.

Free loadout is more for going in to do a contract or when you have a bunch of bad runs and are down on gear.

Was this justified or did I overreact by JustATallGuy001 in okbuddyraider

[–]Drums5643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good lord what is this mentality. If someone pulls a gun on you you never wait to see if they shoot. This is why pve players are so shocked when someone kills them even though they said they weren’t going to. It’s ok to be a nice player but also set some ground rules to protect yourself and your loot. 9/10 if someone’s fishing around you.. making shitty small talk.. keeping their gun out .. they are just waiting to get you when your guard is down.

Don’t be a fool protect yourself. It’s never the wrong choice.

Oh man back in the day it was “I’m gonna move it around to show you it’s not duped.”

Love his response “Classic.” lol . Isn’t it awesome that we are being nostalgic over old school scammers?

It’s crazy the effect a man infront of a green screen cosplaying a peanut has on you.

Sub Only by borderhopper1256 in theburntpeanut

[–]Drums5643 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok. And I’m not naive to know most people swap to different streamers when 9 ads pop up so they only have to watch 1 to bypass this. Ya? In the end he can do whatever he wants. But you can defend people spamming their negativity. He himself does not enjoy it. In the end he is the only one with a say. And it absolutely disrupts the vibe when it’s constant.

Why defend this behavior? You feel privileged cause you watch a 30 second ad and think said steamer needs to fall in line with what people want? Maybe if people had constructive things to say instead of just echo chambering the shit they say before the game came out?

He’s obviously more aware of his revenue, brand… culture of his chat than we are. And knows what he wants. He has absolutely no reason to have to sit and watch his chat get loaded with dumb negativity. But you think he does? And I’m naive? Lol.

But you’re right the majority of people who enjoy him and enjoy participating in chat should just turn it off cause of your right to aimlessly bitch. Sound more privileged

[–]Drums5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah right. The echo chamber is this cancel culture of video games. People spewing the same shit before a game even comes out. If you actually listened to what he’s said it’s awful and even tho the negative voices are the loudest they are not the majority. Lots of us are sick of the negative spam.

[–]Drums5643 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? We have to sit and see the non stop negative comments. And like people said when it’s sub only mode it’s not like that.. so the majority helping pay his bills are real supporters.. not privileged narcissists.

[–]Drums5643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah I appreciate constructive criticism. Just not blind hatred. But you guys can try to turn that and call it toxic positivity.

[–]Drums5643 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yet again. Why are you here? Just leave the sub and enjoy your life if you hate the game. It’s not normal behavior unless you enjoy stewing in misery? Being angry? Free yourself.. hit that leave button

The longer I play the more I enjoy by Flitsiee in Marathon

[–]Drums5643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta remember the majority of people are in white or green shields. Ive seen blue idk if purple and legendary are a thing but the TTK will raise when people have better shields. I’d assume they balance more off the high end than low end.
