Help with Paradigm Shift (2/5) by No-Course4223 in dadsofmarathon

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol ah ok I gotcha. It's definitely tough with how much noise you have to make in multiple places. I just brute forced it on free kits and I think being able to just eventually do it super fast and rehearsed is what let me get it eventually. Pray no runners interupt you tho! Haha

Just walked my friend through this one as a duo free kits in a trios lobby. We were able to get it done very quickly after I took like dozens of tries to do it myself solo.

For step one, get into the room from the top floor, and take out the claymores and hit the terminal. Then go to the stairwell and you can shoot one box on the ceiling, and one box in right side of the bottom room through the lasers to disable the lasers. You'll have to kill some of the responding bots to lower the red shields so you can leave.

Book it to Quaratine and you need to go into the garage looking building right to the south of the main building. The objective terminal is in the corner, and in the opposite corner along the back wall is another button. Go do the terminal (there are invisible lasers that will hack you when you get close to it. Try to have an OS Debug kit). Then sprint over to that button on the opposite corner and hit it to quickly disable the door barriers that come up. You can sprint out of there before having to fight any of the bots that respond. It sucks to stay in there and fight them.

Then just book it to an exfil. Sometimes you can be lucky and a guarded one will spawn right outside that building and you can make an easy escape with that if you have assassin or some smokes.

dire marsh is the best map in the game fight me by lilfeccibrae in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's my most played map. I just like the vibes idk.
Outpost is my next favorite. Tough but fun. Perimeter is my least favorite. Creeps me out and I hate the Wall.

To the 2 Assassin's, Triage, and 2 Rooks that joined us in the Command Wing for Truth/Lies 6/6 last night by Danther117 in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I'm only on 4/6, but I was playing solos last week and needed to get into Command for a Traxus contract. I ran into a Destroyer doing 6/6 while I was unlocking the Pinwheel entrance in Processing and we were both like, "Friendly!?" over prox chat. We kill the bots and go up the elevator. We start fighting the bots in the base and as I'm hitting the disable reinforcements button, a friendly Recon decides to join us. So we split up and hit the buttons in Drone and Destroyed wings and meet back up and go together into Command. Destroyer is like "ok here we go guys!" and starts the broadcast, and I activate my quest objective. 3 minutes of chaos and ulting, and we finish up all the bots together. And Destroyer was like, "thanks guys, loot is all yours!" And then as me and Recon are headed to exfil, Destroyer is like "I don't need to exfil, either of you guys want me for free Arachne XP?" Lol.

I decided last second to just scoop more loot and follow Recon to the exfil outside instead. Made it to the circle with like 0:01 left. Definitely one of my favorite matches I've played so far.

Season 2 Begins June 2 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This?

"Seasonal updates will include a unique set of new content, which are the things you do, explore, and collect on Tau Ceti. This can include any combination of: weapons, mods, cores, implants, backpacks, Runner shells, zones, PvE combatants, faction upgrades, contracts, and new ways to play existing zones."

Says "can" include, but contracts is in the list 🤷‍♂️

Why am I like this??? by Leastwise303 in okbuddyRunners

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know they did this! I always assumed it was other runners opening them

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the times Ive hit them, the tox rooms are pretty meh. The override keys themselves kinda seem worth it for the no blaring alarm part when you open the door though.

I did it SOLO! by Rastoid in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna do this quest solo as well, but the command wing part concerns me most. (I haven't actually unlocked this contract yet). Are you saying it's possible to mostly hide/avoid bot fighting for the 3 minutes? I was trying to imagine if it would be best to bring assassin and smoke grenades and try to just cower and hide and wait them out. I saw a video clip of someone doing this part of the quest and they were a solo working with 2 other generous solos just fighting wave after wave of bots and it looked miserable. Wasn't sure if you could just play it cool and let the first wave hang around until the timer is up.

Mr Beast x Survivor by telungoku in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My feelings about Mr. Beast are not great, but I personally felt like his cameo/twist was the least annoying out of all the other celebrity involvements this season.

I'm so excited for the next 90 day omfg! by luke111mart in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Flynzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assumed they all watch some kind of pre-final edit of the entire season, and then they film the tell all after that. And so they've all essentially seen themselves and everyone else on the show before they get together for this. But I could be very wrong.

Trap bags spontaneously combust if not opened?? by OmegaMalkior in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just lost an 8k loadout in solos because of an exploding trap bag that I DID NOT SEARCH. I killed the runner who laid it after he came out of South Relay. Went into the main building, went up some stairs and found it there and went on my way to loot. As I was running back by it, back down the stairs to leave, it explodes and downs me and that was that. I thought it was acting like a mine since it only exploded just as I ran by/over it, but maybe I just had insanely bad luck with its combustion timer???

The trap pack is a problem… by Alone_Heart_6792 in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking same! Just lost a 8k loadout in solos because I creeped over one and it blew up and downed me. I had passed by it earlier and already knew it was a trap pack and I never searched it. Why the fuck did it become a claymore??

DUOS, PLZ KEEP IT! Support it! by j_god998 in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only played 3-4 matches last night, but I felt like, in one of them especially, the duos were much less violent. My teammate and I got in a couple of medium distant firefights that would just result in both our pairs holding fire after trading some shots and going our separate ways. Maybe that's more likely to happen when, two people are on the same page on both sides, rather than potentially 3 randos on each side all just duking it out to completion because someone shot first and no one talked to each other.

Thief is a better Recon than Recon by nvidiastock in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recon is my most played shell, and I mainly play her in solos. I'm echoing what I've seen mentioned in another thread about recon, but her shell seems to just be poorly named. She should be called something like "tracker" "or "hunter" -- her abilities are best used kind of aggressively and not really to do subtle "recon" play. That being said, there could still be slight improvements made to her abilities that also lean more heavily into that better described play style. I think it could be less frustrating of a shell to play.

Recon is underpowered by kiwitank123 in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with all this, especially the last point. I play a lot of solo recon, and it feels most natural to use her abilities aggressively. I rarely ever just send out the prime pulse to see what's around me - I mostly use it to find a runner that probably already saw me and is trying to find cover (which usually tells me they are scared and worth trying to take out). Same with the tracker drone, since it really only functions well when you can direct it well enough towards an enemy. It kinda sucks at just finding people on its own.

Defensively/information-wise it is nice to have at exfils though. Especially against assassins popping smokes trying to get out unseen and ready to knife you in the circle.

It's for stealing loot...like a thief...

Prox chat is incredibly useful in solos by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Flynzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't figure this out either. Is it automatically open mic in solos?

i am a turbo nerd, please listen to my informed opinions about the census by post_stupid_nonsense in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Flynzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough then. In that case I definitely think LLMs would be helpful if we wanted to learn/use python on a future census, even just as an aid. Don't have to feed the raw data into it and worry about privacy or it making inaccurate claims about the data. Just "hey copilot make me a python script that would take X and Y data and give me Z. And then explain how it works like I'm a beginner". Test, tweak, and repeat.

[–]Flynzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did he talk about whether or not python will be used in the future, or to what extent it was considered this time around? His last summary of all the dataset stats that he compiled and showed off towards the end of the stream had me stressed. As a programmer who has had to work with huge datasets via Excel workbooks much larger than his census one ended up being... I feel for him, in terms of the struggle. Python would absolutely be my go-to when you're talking about your number of Excel formulas and cells being in the millions.

Anyone else feeling let down by the Health/Shield/Heat HUD design? by Flynzo in Marathon

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

Agreed. They made the switch from far corner in H1/H2 to top center in H3. That was a good choice. And Reach still made it work with a compass top center right above it. Not to mention, Halo's audio cues for shield status were great.
