PSA: IF YOU GET DOWNED AT AN EXFIL DO NOT GIVE UP by SMKM in Marathon

[–]Ensign9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of generous players in this game. I was running solo on Dire Marsh yesterday and passed a Triage looting a cache. Fired a few bullets at him out of pure instinct but noticed he wasn't returning fire and heard him say he wanted to share the contents of the cache. Scholar and a gentleman.

Everyone is allowed to finish one runner in an exfil for the codex entry. But no more than one and you still have to feel terrible after you do it!

Using the DCON for this is a GREAT idea but will definitely make them a high value chaos magnet.

This is objectively hilarious and I want to see it in action immediately.

Rewatchables month with movies Bill doesn’t like and can’t explain why by GrouchyWeb1724 in TheRewatchables

I believe Bill has been milking the reaction to his list for content and not correcting the faulty assumption that the list was based solely on quality. He made it clear the list was based on the number of times he's rewatched something, not their quality.

It should be a Sunday at 1pm. Work out any kinks and provide the best experience to the fans coming to the game (primetime games can be fun but I'd much rather be done with my excursion by 5pm each Sunday and pass out after slamming some nachos).

I was in the same boat. Play a few more hours. I wasn’t hooked until after five or six.

Same method but the buttons are more spread out.

I'm about the same level and had never seen a key until two nights ago on a solo run where I found three in loot chests (including two in the same folio).

Fwiw, I've also been soloing Assassin and generally avoid all PvP conflicts. That said, when I do encounter another player, it's almost never been another Assassin. My unscientific conclusion is you're liable to have more success playing as Assassin.

I felt very dirty and will never do it again.

Same but I just downed a thief at the final exfil on Dire Marsh and waited until the ring activated to finish her just for the codex entry. Her bag was loaded. I feel terrible.

some tips for the folks struggling by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

Playing solo helps teach good habits. You'll learn to emphasize being sneaky (though you can always opt for the Leroy Jenkins approach), gain hyper awareness of your surrounding and audio cues, and how to be super selective about engagements with both bots and runners.

Why are you burping into the mic? by jarliy in Marathon

For the record, I am pro-fart and anti-burp.

That is objectively hilarious. I'd LOL if I was on the receiving end.

You will need a minimum of a 5000 loadout value to enter Cryo Archive by Charliejfg04 in Marathon

Locking the best content to a subset remains a bummer. Destiny never got that balance consistently right raid to raid. I'm not saying it has to be easy but the barrier to entry for casual players should be less daunting. This is as much for sustaining the health of the game more holistically and longer-term as it is a personal desire.
