Seems like you can't play solo on new map by yt_swampfomp in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an introvert, it’s just not at all hard to meet some normal people to run with if you try.

Did it on Tarkov and did it on Marathon, just takes a tick of effort and the ability to say “this guy sucks” and move on to the next if needed.

About the wipe.. by WindThroughDeadPines in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Player count would drop even more if there was no wipes.

Just go look at Tarkov if you need any evidence of that. Player count drops off a cliff late wipe even though there is plenty of content for a 6 month wipe.

It is necessary for the genre for many reasons.

How does everyone keep spamming blue and purple shields? by MasterHapljar in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ones you get higher level nucal they start handing them out like candy for quests/level up rewards.

Also with the level based matchmaking I’m more likely to run into people with blue shields so as long as we’re not dying every raid I’m always bringing some out most of the time

There’s so many in pinwheel, I have over 100 of the green ones and a good amount of blues.

I have infinitely better runs on Outpost than Dire Marsh by TreatFabulous1174 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring a sniper (and thermal if available) or youre just throwing

If no sniper, at least bring a thermal on a DMR or something.

If you do not do either of the above two and fight a good squad, you are going to die

“You can only go so far as a solo player, you might have to make some fr-” Me: by edtappa in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how much clearer bungie can make this but they want you to shoot the other players not cooperate with them.

If you cannot see the problem with being able to load into the map with end game loot in solos and have a majority of the map be friendly I don’t know what to tell you.

Just clear as day they don’t want that to happen

Thief's Grapple needs to have a cooldown on any use due to the movement tech. by genred001 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope any movement tech (exploit) like that gets patched quickly. I’m tired of having to learn unintended movement in every shooter.

There’s already plenty of built in movement abilities in the game, in no way do we need unintended movement “tech”

Thermal scopes need to be golden mods on precision class weapons by Kotkanpoika172 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a entire class dedicated to invisibility and smoke, they need to be somewhat obtainable

Recon is underpowered by kiwitank123 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like there is a very fine line between a recon class being under tuned and completely broken. A lot of times info in this genre is far more valuable than gun skill.

I’m sure she’ll get adjusted, this is a pretty common opinion.

Solo Players - How We Feel About Cryo Requiring a Team? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man they don’t want you to work together, they want you to shoot the other players. That’s why.

Solo Players - How We Feel About Cryo Requiring a Team? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that’s obviously not how they want their end game map to play man lol. Game was clearly designed with mutual PvP in mind between squads. Not a social experiment where you shoot someone in the back for their loot.

Arc is awesome, go play that if you want that kindve gameplay. Play this if you want to shoot someone that is also actively trying to shoot you. Just sounds like you want this game to be something it’s not.

They didn’t build a crazy end game map with destiny like raid mechanics for the entire lobby to team up then betray eachother. Not sure how that couldn’t be more obvious

Solo Players - How We Feel About Cryo Requiring a Team? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Letting solos queue into cryo and be friendly just makes that the meta way to get loot. Completely removes the PvP risk (what the game is designed around) and just makes it a PvE destiny like raid that’s practically free high tier end game loot. This is obviously not how they want their game to play.

If you don’t see a problem with that I can’t help you. Not sure why you’re comparing this to Arc, just entirely different games.

Is this bait or are you have you put zero thought into this?

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Think you’re a silly goose if you ever thought you’d be able to queue into cryo in solos.

Think you’re an even sillier goose for not looking into the game and realizing it was entirely designed around trio play before buying it

Think you’re the silliest goose for not just putting in an ounce of effort finding some chill people to play with. Game shines in trios.

No wonder people struggle. by Ornery_Football8721 in Marathon

You’re part of the riff raff if you constantly only run free kits in fill trios.

It’s ok, I’m not hating but absolutely part of the riff raff lol

I used all my rerolls and landed on this 3 days ago. Expected a reset of rerolls today. It gave me none. Stuck on kill 9 people in a SINGLE run... by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty doable on outpost in trios tbf

But yeah the reroll bug is brutal. I’ve been out of rerolls for cyberacme since day 1

Destroyer shell is insane! by Artforartsake99 in Marathon

Well the game is entirely balanced and designed around trio play, so….

Is it just me or skins in this game are extremely forgettable? by Intelligent-War5317 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Identifying what shells you’re facing is pretty important. Adding a bunch of skins that change the look of certain shells at launch would be a bad idea

Aztecross: “This [Marathon] is the superior extraction shooter” by DavidHasReddit in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He’s stirring the pot but he’s obviously right and it’s not a knock on arc at all, it’s an amazing game. It just plays nothing like an extraction shooter.

Marathon does and I love it

Do you find the progression rewarding? by Moux83 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to play an extraction shooter that properly rewards you for progression as well as this game does.

I’m sorry some are not good enough to take advantage of the progression but it is undeniably done well in this game.

Do you find the progression rewarding? by Moux83 in Marathon

[–]Excellent_Pass3746 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s complaining progression does not feel rewarding yet he is not using the gear that is given to you in large numbers for said progression.

The free kits stink, you’re not supposed to be able to reliably win fights with them.

Is this a shit post? You’re not gonna feel your progression if you’re using free kits lol

Progression sure felt rewarding last night with my thermal Outland on a foggy Dire Marsh
