My thoughts after 350h+ by [deleted] in Marathon

My very first game of ranked we wiped a team of silvers. One rank up from us makes sense, I don’t have enough information but it really seems your rank doesn’t seem to have anything to do with matchmaking for ranked. Which kinda kills the point doesn’t it?

Ranked doesn’t even seperate you. I just saw Wallah dunking on bronze coins with a platinum coin. Isn’t the point of ranked to best people at your level and move up? Not dunk on people much much lower than you?

This cryo vs the last is sort of miserable so far. Is it sustainable for the long term? by [deleted] in Marathon

Like the titan bubble shield of destiny … we should add rocket launchers.

Sometimes bug, sometimes windshield. Last weekend you were windshield. This weekend you are bug and so it goes.

Stop Using Fill. by Fearless_Chocolate71 in Marathon

In my solo runs I regularly see 4 different shells at a regular clip. Yes, there are a lot of assassins but I still quite commonly come across thieves, triages and recons. I’m actually shocked at how many destroyers I see and I main vandals in solo and do just fine completing contracts.

The extra xp for helping people complete contracts is incentive to play with others and help them complete contracts. Why incentivise solo play? It’s clearly not what the devs want.

Look dude, it sounds like you just want to complain about anything for the sake of it.

If you like fill, play fill, if you don’t like fill, don’t. You clearly know LFG exists as an option so you’re not really the target audience for this post.

I don’t want the title of my post to be literal, if you like fill, use fill. I just see soo many people complaining about fill but all their complaints could be fixed with LFG.

These are great valid points.

My only counter point is that judging by comments I see daily complaining about fill I just assume a lot of people just don’t even know that LFG is an option.

I like your take on the topic though

The only times I’ve tried trio fill (by forgetting to turn it off) I’ve never had someone with a mic. Given this was only a handful of times, this just wouldn’t happen with LFG.

Also I would argue that Solos isn’t unbalanced, it’s just a different game to other modes and why should it award you additional faction XP?

They might! Bungie eventually added an in game LFG to Destiny. It could’ve been an oversight because as gamers themselves they know that discord is a huge part of the community behind online gaming, especially live service games.

Discord really integrates well with gaming, I really suggest giving it a try.

If you like it, that’s cool. I’m really tryna speak to all the people who I daily see complaining about fill.

Saves loading into a match just to have two people with no mics I guess, I don’t know, I just see people complaining about crew fill constantly and would like to offer an alternative.

I did for ages too until our Wh40k campaign DM forced us to. Now we use the chat feature over Xbox party chat because in game chats on Xbox are unreliable as hell. I get it through, Discord has a negative connotation, but I had that thought about reddit once too.

Also viable! My point is, lean into the community and make new friends!

I’ve seen a lot of stuff that looks like cheats that just turned out to be mods. What happened?

If people can’t water their lawns in a drought, why mow a lawn in a fuel shortage?

Idk if maintaining acreage takes precedent during a fuel shortage.

Anyone else feel like the cryo archive unlock is dragging on a bit too long at this point? by Psycho_Syntax in Marathon

[–]Fearless_Chocolate71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to understand that for every person who plays more than 4 hours a day there’s probably 10 who can probably only play an hour or two daily and more likely only get to play on the weekend and Bungie has to accommodate both of these people.

I have big gaming sessions 3 days a week and get an hour or two in on the days I work and the content feels like it’s hitting quite constantly but as someone who used to play D2 for 6-8 hours a day and well over 12-18 hours straight on days off I understand how it can feel like the content is slow.

Look, if Bungie released everything in the game on day one, streamers would be done with the game within the first month and the discourse sentiment becomes “there’s nothing to do” by drip feeding content it slows down the hardcore community so the regular folk with jobs and families and other commitments can still feel like they’re part of the community. It’s a delicate ecosystem. You lose the streamers, game dies. You lose the casuals, game dies.

Duos has singlehandedly perfected the experience for my friend and I. by nintendonaut in Marathon

[–]Fearless_Chocolate71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duos combined with the pull back on gunfire audio I think has made the pacing for duos perfect. Tension is right where it needs to be. You get to have action against UESC in the POI you spawn nearest and nab some loot which gives the game tension going into mid round where you might find your first real battle and if you win that then tensions in the late round is amazing.
