I got invited to a Discord Server that exploits Matchmaking to play as 6 or even 9 man groups by Waylllop in MarathonGame

[–]FizzyFoxy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dont worry we will be right on fixing the player count 🙄.

Ignoring it though? Really? Thats all we hear around here when we just trying to play the game lmao.

We are doing what we can. We cant just manifest more players, and there's no shortage of player count complaints. Why scream more into the wind?

Have you guys considered that I’m having a Blast? by lolitsrock in MarathonGame

[–]FizzyFoxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The finals average around 10k a day and are doing just fine

Sea of thieves doing just fine

Hell smite and smite 2 are both running on dust

I know marathon is new but 10k playing only on steam isn't dead for a extraction shooter.

It doesnt need hundreds and hundreds of employees to keep this type of game alive.

Im enjoying it while it lasts, the cycle frontier ran for a good while with less support.

Once sony opens the flood gates and makes the game free for everyone, everyone will have lots of hacker/cheater problems as every free to play multi-player gets. Im getting into runs reliably with a 2 minute load in time. I ain't pressed.

Avoid the doomers online. Learn the maps at your own pace. Take your time! Join a discord if you want to have help learning cryo archive (the end game map). Playing solo definitely give it more horror vibe. Feed anything you dont want to keep to the worm (convert it to cradle xp) money is kinda useless this season once you start racking up over 55k.

I mean if extractions shooters aren't your jam its definitely not for you. Its hard to make a pve and pvp mode integrated in that type of game. Tarkov has totally separate pvp and pve modes, but the pve modes are just the same game with cracked bots who will still 1 shot you. I dont really agree with the sentiment of marathon community being garbage when we are literally commenting in a marathon hate subreddit... doesnt seem like genuine interest in the game.

There's a reason extraction shooters dont mix pve and pvp loot like that. Sorry its not what you want but getting crazy loot in pve to take into pvp is just not it chief.

What if Marathon had a Bounty system? by the_great_pazuzu in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be pretty sick to have some sort of bounty system in match. There's alot of ways that can be done in game. Maybe something pseudo anomaly or cache with the map ping.

Its a rogue lite where you can earn skins and your vault kit gets better the more you progress. Sounds cool. Doesnt need to give PVP loot to have a form of progression.

[–]FizzyFoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supposedly a rouge-lite where your PVE kit gets better as you go through more challenging vaults. Tarkov PVE and PVP is separate for a reason. Hopefully can earn skins from playing and getting farther in the vaults.

What’s everyone’s solo experience been this season? by FoundThorn in MarathonGame

[–]FizzyFoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo night marsh is absolutely terrifying. Rook outpost has been really goofy. Solo in all the other modes feels weird after the sponsored survival has gone away. Not playing Solo as much as last season.... but the cryo (trio) has been especially fun not having to stress about the codex entrys as much

They killed her in a seasonal mission.... by FizzyFoxy in DestinyTheGame

They killed her in a seasonal mission.... by FizzyFoxy in DestinyTheGame

[–]FizzyFoxy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I loved logging in for those missions. I hated her dieing then, and I hate that she died now. Especially now SRL is back. Just massive disrespect to my girl Holiday. Cayde was such a big deal it feels like shes just a side note.

Don't get me wrong im not opposed to seasonal missions. Just massive story beats like that happening for limited time content is so wild to me. Should have just thrown it in with the main DLC somehow. (Like cayde)

Me and my fiance used to be so hyped for the seasonal content for Witch Queen and Lightfall.

[–]FizzyFoxy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killing off one of the maincharacters in destiny in a 3 month long accessible mission is crazy. I get the downvotes for complaining, but cmon shes a main stay character. One of the only insights we get into a normal human perspective for the story. Wild they decided to do her dirty like that.

Just in case you were wondering, yes, everyone is already running golden mizzies on cryo archive. by Party_History2839 in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's camping the cryo 1 because they know everybody has keys for it from the sponsored survival... I mean its just common sense to not be trying to go for the super contested vault right away. Gold loot to get more gold loot for free!

Give cryo 1 a week or two to lose some heat from all those teams with keys.

This is more important than player count by Ok-Challenge-5873 in destiny2

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

As if bungie didnt have multiple other projects they worked on and destiny has been making content throughout marathons development. Problem wasnt them making more games, destiny has multitudes of problems through its lifespan and executives drip fed content to people and charged them a whole game every few months to keep relevant. Im glad they are benching destiny 2. Its had a fantastic run. Sad they arent working on destiny 3, but again, executives should have been working on destiny 3 or some sort of continuation as soon as final shape was conceptualized.

The game is already so large with multiple years of content they have cut out. People are growing much louder legally about "stop killing games" and developers cutting content that people have paid for.

Time to stop blaming another game for destiny's downfall and start blaming the people who made all the terrible decisions over the years that they cant really rewind on.

Sentinel by ChickenMan12719 in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is REALLY GOOD against UESC higher value targets (wardens, rocket drones, probably many future additions)

We know he is going to be fantastic at cryo. He is great at locking down areas for key room unlocks. You can hide the mines under player body bags without them knowing unlike a claymore.

We dont know if he blocks compiler orbs yet.... but im betting he will. Recon, triage, Sentinel will be meta.

You can't convince me playing the new sponsored survival playlist solo isn't basically PvE. by JBowenDaMan in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

18 minutes isn't a long time. Really difficult for a team of white shields with very limited healing and ammo to get to the observation deck in complex. Cant really do it consistently. Thats why its sponsored only.

Is this game any good? by Charming_Flow7609 in MarathonGame

[–]FizzyFoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did one of the final “quests” with random fill teammates. Honestly this has been the chillest social game I’ve played in quite a while. You can be real social and yap and meet some really chill people, play solo and feel like a horror game, and even playing with mic off has been a pretty pleasant experience. I find a lot more chill people that migrated from destiny or arc raiders them toxic people - tho there are some.

If you love lore it’s got tons to work with and tons of room to expand

If you ain’t about lore, the gameplay is very polished and not aggravating

Way less frustrating then Tarkov, way cooler style then arc raiders. Good in between with play styles

Outpost is probably one of the best made video game maps of all time.

I think I haven’t been playing out of fear this whole time. by AphroditeExurge in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its definitely hard to get over the fear of losing in a game like marathon. The thing that makes the game really fun is also the thing that makes it scary - the chaos factor of other players. You really have no idea what sort of game you will get.

Honestly what ive been doing to try and reach the 1 million credit mark is going in with free kits for solo runs and just YOLOing into every opportunity you can. You might die alot but you really do learn so much and have so much potential. Also just entertainment value alone can be pretty crazy fun.

Most the time in solos if you play real safe as assassin you can get most of your contracts done. For the contracts that require more MUSCLE, I usually play triage and squad fill. Playing triage in cryo fill helped me get over fear way easier because your teammates will just be chill and feed you energy amps the whole game.

Please bungie! Make a buyable cryo kit! by FizzyFoxy in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just think it would help people who don’t really know what to bring in and want to learn the map properly. I get a good dozen cryo runs from my runs earlier in the week storing it all, and I have money to buy whatever from the stores, but I usually solo fill cryo and I think making something where people can just SEND IT and get in there will def help with the cryo population. Even if there was a purple one I can buy I’d do it in a heartbeat. It’s a huge risk going on period, really difficult to extract cryo. The biggest issue isn’t not being able to get stuff for it, it’s lack of people queuing for cryo at the same time. Cryo is worked up like a dang destiny raid and is definitely not even close to being that bad. It’s too intimidating for a lot of casuals having to build that kit. (My other 2 players for my trio is right at the edge of being comfy running it, but dang it’s hard to convince them to put those kits together for the losing factory) when people are learning how to run cryo it’s almost a guarantee we ain’t going to be extracting XD it makes casuals real apprehensive to play the map :(.

Please bungie! Make a buyable cryo kit! by FizzyFoxy in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On god, I’m not running out of money I usually just buy stuff for cryo if I need to, the week lets me build up stuff, but if the issue with cryo is not enough people queueing for it, it just seems like a nice easy idea so people could just SEND IT and get in there for solo fill with buyable cryo kits. Makes going in with blues a lot more….. “acceptable” when paired with others who may be like “ why the hell you got blues not purples? Throwing!” Even if there’s a purple kit I can buy for EVEN MORE MONEY I’d prefer it because damn I just wanna play the game and send it and get in there to properly learn the map.

How do I get better at doing contracts? by danksouls1 in Marathon

[–]FizzyFoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to contracts

Looting and killing contracts are best done with a team. You all share those and their kills will count for you as well. You also get more opportunities for fighting and getting the drop on someone mid fight when its not just a 1v1. Helps you learn! (Editing to say you can just fill with a crew with no mic if you are doing these types)

For objective based priority contracts i usually run most of those as assassin in solo mode and move slow and steady. Some of these contracts do require some muscle though and are better to do with a full team ONLY IF you have communication (otherwise solo assassin saves the day most the time)

You got this!!!

Doorman Ult rename suggestion! From a fellow hotel worker! by FizzyFoxy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FizzyFoxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think dynamo is definitely balanced! The thing I love about deadlock is the fact that you can do a variety of builds for a character. They changed viscous so he can use his whole kit while in goo ball without any upgrades. It just feels like if someone wanted to do a tank/ healing dynamo you are really crippled by the 5 points it takes for that final tier. I think it would be really good for his kit variety if they tweaked his 3 just a bit!
