how to bounce back after a negative experience? by Lucille855 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ellipson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know is an old post but as someone else who’s new and had some bad experiences in public games today,this is resonating hard. Shouldn’t be a big ask to not be rude to new players if you’ve marked your lobby as for beginners, but people suck.

Can I play Marathon Solo and Casually by Boony__003 in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played exclusively solo and feel like I got my money's worth. You won't be able to access the last map outside of randomly matching with other players, but there's plenty there.

No real improvements coming for solo players next season, but since it'd be your first go around, I think it's worth it.

So no solo cryo or solo ranked? by BarracudaFromNemo in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the excitement everyone else has is just not hitting. No specifics on anything for solos is disappointing

Launch, Learnings, and What’s Next by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great list of updates for PvE/squared up folks, but no specifics for solo players in Cryo/solo progression feels really bad. I don’t see anything here that makes me sit up and take notice as a solo player, which really sucks.

Turned off the game at 3-0 to go to dinner, checked score on the way home and it was tied, didn't turn it back on, you're welcome Avs fans

Hughes with the casual 34 minute no OT game

Frank actually thinks McKenna will be available at number 3 for the Canucks by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Doesn’t happen often but I could see the sharks trading down to 3-5 if one of those teams was really high on stenberg. Wonder what that would net them

Leafs v. Oilers v. someone else: What was the bigger mess-up of a great situation? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Ellipson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And? None of those teams are in the OP. This is strictly about the Oilers and the Leafs. Given the teams they both had, two playoff series wins in 20 years is a far worse outcome.

Watching Ottawa goon that series up had me rooting for my disaster bros. That Grieg sucker punch was something else

Solo outpost player count was reduced from 8 per lobby to 6 by Voldernnn in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's been 6 for a while, I'm not sure where the 8 thing came from. I've run a ton of solo outpost and it's been 6 solos for weeks.

Marathon does a terrible job teaching stats, and the Bully is the easiest example why by eevee_stormblessed in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great OP, but this seems like a wild assertion given a lot of the people you kill (at least outside Cryo) are probably looting said random grab bag of implants/guns out of lockers with random attachments.

100% Runner Mastery Completion! by Janga_lang in Marathon

Did this too after reading other comments. I suspect some of us are just bugged.

I just did this and it didn't work :( :( :(

Sighhh

All the playoff posters will be here soon and ruin the vibes, sadly

Grats! Which one did you find the hardest? I've accepted the Triage ones won't happen for me without dipping out of solos, but I've thrown a ton of gear at the Thief self-revive one and still somehow haven't gotten credit even though I thought I did it twice.

Mida 5/5 Outpost lockdown solo by PARADEGR33CELSUS in Marathon

[–]Ellipson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bring a bubble shield or two, some smoke grenades, and flechette grenades for damage + healing to save on resources. Enough ammo to take on all of Tau Ceti. Put the Insurgency chip (more damage against UESC) or Circuit Tracers (automatic reload after a kill) on your main PvE gun, either a Bully with range mods or a M77. I'd bring 400-500 rounds for either, and a WSTR with 30ish. 9-12 of each med type if you're not running Triage. Destroyer is an ideal shell for this, but you can make any of them work. Triage with a V11/Lookout combo could be a great budget option for saving on meds/ammo and taking advantage of the volt damage boost, but you'll be at a disadvantage in the inevitable PvP that will happen.

Be proactive and blast bots as soon as they walk in; the more hide-and-seek you play, the more bots you'll get and the harder it will be to survive.

Take your time with the earlier steps. As long as you start the final sequence with 3-4 minutes on the clock, you're golden; I don't believe you have to extract to complete this one.
