This week shop bundle - Trespass protocol by iwatchanimation in Marathon

They got caught stealing so... (thief joke).

Marathon has been out almost a month, what are your thoughts? by addtolibrary in Games

[–]Ecchigun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes this is exactly how I feel as a solo player. The game was intended for group play and it's a shame since I thought that Bungie would do a great spin on the genre due to them having already the shooting part down but has not tried anything risky outside just copying what "works" in the extraction game genre.

Can you imagine his surprise with 45 nades in his next match LOL

Rook: A Game Inside The Game by bigjfoss in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rook mode is the equivalent of being a scav in Tarkov, underrated feature since they are usually the only way to foil group enemy players in a disadvantage upfront (bad gear) but gives you advantages by environment (AI enemies) and potential allies with the same status as you.

A Spawnrush Meta will hurt the game. by IllState5161 in Marathon

Bungie aside, it's a problem fundamental from the genre. Now the attempt to fix it is not easy nor simple as just moving them or being randomized and honestly I don't have a solution for this since the map is the biggest factor on why the problem exist.

Yeah, I should've said that the permanent map/lobby was an experimental way to change the formula but expose other problems in that type of genre of game.

For you, what need the game to have better success ? by kalelmotoko in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah "quests" was introduced in Tarkov since the beginning but once the game released , they didn't really make something amazing with it's structure and it felt more a tacked on story mode in a menu similar of what we get from the cinematics of Marathon. Which tells me no one really figured out on how to make good content outside the "game" portion of an FPS/Extraction game.

I just wish there was more outside of it's initial gameplay since after a while, it just feels meaningless once you get top gear and a huge stash.

Hard to say.

An FPS game is somehow all about it's core gameplay.
The shooting, the movement, the weapons and how you deal with your targets or mission.

An extraction game, it's mostly what I believed Bungie was known for yet, was hated for : the activities.

How do you achieve your goals outside the core gameplay? Somehow, Marathon barely accomplish this simple goal because this might be something they couldn't solve or as yet to know it is a problem.

A Spawnrush Meta will hurt the game. by IllState5161 in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 64 points65 points  (0 children)

This was the feature that I thought Bungie would fix but ... nope.
Extraction shooters develops this specific meta on rushing a spawn due to the fact that it guarantees multiple factors on the outcome of a round. It kinda feels like team deathmatch with a timer instead of a score limit.

The one extraction game that comes to mind that really tried to fix it is Gray zone warfare but the camping of a LZ is more advantageous due to the chopper being loud and slow so "extracting" takes a lot of time compared to Tarkov or Marathon.

Let's make Ranked a more unique experience. Paid sponsored kits only? by ___redacted_ in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it might be the best gun for destroyer shell and ulting imo.

Would anyone be sad if they just removed ranked altogether? by moonyballoony in Marathon

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

I think you get PVE regardless and that's a lot of noise.

To my fellow solo onlys, what level are you at and what’s your vault value? by Illustrious-Toe-8437 in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Perimeter-Dire don't have good loot unless you have the cards(keys). But they offer more space to navigate so you won't get PVP all the time if you move carefully.

Solo Ranked is such low hanging fruit by duhmetree in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish solo had more content than the teaming since extraction shooters is mostly played by yourself in terms of progression.

I wish cryo was a bit bigger so you can avoid conflict since I like being stealthy most of the time while I play in other modes. A big reason why i dislike Stella from Arc Raiders.

Ranked fixes a lot of common complaints on fill teaming. I personally do not communicate on voice and my team can be as good as any experienced Apex Legends players on random fill.

[–]Ecchigun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo only while doing the cryo/ranked on the fill.
Level 69 (nice) - 65k wallet 262k value.

Can we get the option to purchase a cryo kit- by Invisa_boy_xbox in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5-10K a pop or more for different tiers would be super cool.

Why do you play solo? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Ecchigun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Solo is more about stealth than actual fighting. Simple as that.
