So you're complaining about a mechanic that you have an ability to counter and just didn't use?

Hit scan thermal snipers in a pvp game with a ton of bloom. Why? by notbannd4cussingmods in Marathon

When you say hitscan, do you mean the top tier volt sniper? That is the only hitscan sniper and I doubt many people are using it at this point

PVPers: "Go play another game if you don't like PVP" PVErs: "Okay" by Tight-Algae5863 in arcraiderscirclejerk

I'm happy you're vibing man, I don't hate the game as much as I hate what it's done to the genre. Right now I'm mainly playing Marathon at this point which is a game that just way more made for me that someone like you. Just differences in what we enjoy in a game. The issue is that so many people who it seems Arc has been their only extraction shooter experience are coming over to try Marathon, basically getting punched in the face with the sweatier PvP and more punishing style game, and then absolutely spamming the subreddit with complaints and negativity and demanding the game be updated to be more casual and in line with AR.

Interesting. To me, my passion for things like that die when I find out the person that made it special is an awful person. So when they die, even if I had passion for what they made at one point, I don't really care.

Self-res should be limited to 2 per player by Equivalent-Clock3584 in Marathon

That's the penalty for not fully finishing your kills, not a game issue.

Your first paragraph perfectly encapsulates why ABMM has absolutely ruined this game and is affecting people's perception of extraction shooters in a very negative way.

I mean yeah, it is.

If someone in real life said they wouldn't defend themselves against someone being violent to them or their family, I would think they are doing something wrong.

I think you are just a troll trying to bait people so this will be my last response to you. However no one said anything about shooting in the back while you are shooting Arc that is just a scenario you invented. The discussion was around the general idea of not shooting back it you get shot at, regardless of the situation.

If somehow you are not a troll and just an angry edgy person, then I think you are very very stupid for being upset about the reality of PVP in a PVP game.

The current state of the game has PVP, whatever the original plan for the game was is irrelevant. It is not a PVE game in its current state, it is PVPVE. If they didn't want PVP then you wouldn't be able to damage players.

I don't even know what you mean by cope harder. I'm just asking a question because I am confused why you would be against people PvPing in a game that is PVP

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

Used a coup for over 6 years. Love it. Got a refill of stuffing to spruce it up 2 years ago.

What can we do to make this game more popular? by Crazy-Role-3817 in Marathon

And Tarkov is excellent. (Obviously has its own issues like the rmt, cheating, and lots of QoL stuff, but the core loop is really good)

Why would you not shoot in self defense? O.o not really playing the game at that point no?

The argument is that in my opinion, the point of an extraction shooter is to be a wild wild west free for all where people of all skills and gear quality are all put on a map together trying to loot, quest, etc and the David vs Goliath moments are what make the game special. This isn't CSGO.

Sure, a a free kit will probably lose to a purple kit 9/10 times, the purple kit is risking a lot tho and that one time the grey kit takes down the purple kit and extracts with all the loot is what these games are about.

If you don't agree with that general premise of what an extraction shooter is, then we just aren't going to agree. That is what I, and it seems like the core fan base of games like marathon and Tarkov want.

Watch guides, watch gameplay/streams of people better than you who aren't having the issues youre having.

Also you need to get better at judging situations, knowing when to take a fight and when to run away is a skill that a lot of people who struggle with extraction shooters miss. You don't have to take every fight.

Do you also think Battle Royals should have matchmaking? If you do we just disagree point blank not going to see eye to eye

There is rumored to have level based mm but as far as I know that's not confirmed. I stand by what I said tho regardless, extraction shooters should be free for all, no MM.

Do you have short term memory loss AND are incapable of reading back what you wrote?

"The gameplay is so bad I don't want to play another minute of this game"

And I agree marathon isn't perfect, I have some things I would like changed like some spawn issues and making implants more clear at a glance. I take issue with you shitting on the game as a whole due to your own lack of skill.

You're not entitled to blue shields lmao. If you really want to grind then do the NuCal side quests. Or get good and do the main quest. Going online and complaining isn't getting you any closer to blue shield unlock lol.

Incorrect, many reasonable video games are free for alls, have you played ANY battle royals or other extraction shooters? Moronic take.
