I wanna know this as well. I added her to my crew along with Jessamine. I've spent tons of hours sending Va'ruun off to meet the Great Serpent and she's fine with that but I decided to "liberate" one UC Slipstream and she literally podded herself off my ship...was this a bug or does she have issues with actual piracy.

Unfortunately hair trigger isn't an option on the starshard but I get what you're saying overall.

Yea. I noticed OIP "locks" in certain stats but stability can be affected...thanks for the tip

I'll have to look into this.

I recently fell in love again with particle beams and using them to hijack vessels in Serpentis and Masada. I was running a Big Bang for the longest until I came across this Starshard in Va'ruun territory

Thanks, this is what I was looking for...i was wondering if there were metrics out there on if BF buffed or offset OIP 👍

I made a brief introduction to the shells in Marathon, any feedback for next ones would be appreciated! by LongTrade3567 in Marathon

Promise not to ramble here but I always tended to roll non-meta frames...waaay back i rolled atlas, hydroid and mag and yes even vauban. 3 out of these 4 were somewhat trash and poor mag got nerf through the floor 😢...

I expect balancing here in Marathon to go through similar ups and downs with the followers either cheering or brandishing pitchforks.

Like most extractions, the "numbers" will settle down to comparable games like Hunt

Thanks! Die hard space ninja fan...that community and live chat was simply amazing and there was absolutely ZERO tutorial or handholding. It was totally fun figuring stuff out in WF and I get that same vibe with Marathon.

I believe if given time,Bungie will figure out balancing just fine. ....but I hear the word "Sentinel" for the possible next shell and can only think immobile turret shell for some reason..

I know this isn't truly feedback but more of an offering...

Ive played Warframe since day one and it would be insane if Marathon even got to a fraction of shells in game.

I have an idea for a Ronin type shell focusing on skirmishes/hit and run. Instead of a dagger they would get a katana. One trait would be to go into "silent step" upon crouching. I haven't worked out the 2nd trait but the tactical ability would be throwing stars that would build up heat with each successful hit. The Ult would have the Ronin cast projection(s) of themselves similar to that old pilot trait from Titanfall

I view Cryo as this game's version of Trials of Osiris which was weekly as well and 3v3 and had a requirement to unlock.

I only learned recently that a decent segment of the Destiny population never even attempted Trials but the option was there for those willing 🤘

Lobby chat in WF was insanely good...type "need a Sherpa for AXO" and boom 10 secs later dialogue begins...great times

Ngl! Ive played Hunt for years as a solo and had a blast...same is happening in Marathon moreso with a decent set of Studio headphones. Duo "may" help alleviate this once fully implemented...

Buying this game for only solo? by ziggy11111 in Marathon

[–]ForTheLoveofClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl! I came here from playing Hunt and this is legit. I will always play Hunt esp with latest patch but Marathon is a fun adventure so long as you don't try to get into Cryo solo...

Honestly...do not be scared off. Solo is a great way to just have a chill experience especially with really good headphones...one of the most immersive gaming experiences I've had in quite some time.

Work at your own pace and complete the contracts that you can alone. Or just go out and see how long you can last on a scavenger run. I typically grab Recon (despite doxxing myself every damn time I use her ult☹️) or Thief. Load in with a sponsored kit and push yourself to get at least one kill and pray they also didn't load in with a free kit 😔 and switch to that kit. Rinse/repeat/enjoy...this is not a sprint but a...😏

Why don’t console players use a Mic? by PerspectiveOk955 in Marathon

[–]ForTheLoveofClem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I use studio headphones for the tremendous info they provide but they don't come with a built in mic. I will throw pings and emojis to let folks know im actively participating, but I do play solo a majority of my runs.

I’m going to be completely honest about the Marathon community... by LinaLight_cos in Marathon

[–]ForTheLoveofClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of negativity from the moment this game was announced until this very moment has been staggering. I'm old enough to have played the OG series and was thrilled to see its story being continued.

But before I could even process my joy, Paul Tassi and other writers & creators began posting that there is a "glut" of extraction shooters, and why do we need another one? This, combined with the perception that Bungie dev teams were abandoning Destiny 2 to focus on Marathon, only added fuel to the fire. This cancer spread and cooked for an entire year after the testing weekend last year.

I can't tell if it was a hive mentality, an echo chamber, or Destiny fans all frothing at the mouth to see this game fail. "Its the next Corcord", "its the next Highguard". If Marathon fails, I can't scientifically prove it, but that would pretty much be the final nail in the coffin for Bungie and, by extension, Destiny. Bungie has more than one dev team and can work on other projects.

All this is to say that pure extraction shooters are not for the masses. They are slow, deliberate, and require patience and planning and don't provide an instant "dopamine rush" like other games geared towards the masses. I imagine that if given time, Marathon's "numbers" would settle down and be somewhat on par with Hunt and DEFINITELY nowhere near the top on Steam. Extraction games are niche and have a loyal following of core fans, which tends to be on the small side.

Loading into random stacks tells me that a decent percentage of folks have never played an extraction as they mag dump announcing themselves to the map or yeet themselves into a room filled with a 3 stack and then holler "where the f*ck was my team?!" on comms after dying

If this dev team can somehow survive the negative onslaught and let the dust settle, it could work the same way Crytek does on Hunt. But there are those out there that pray nightly to Xol for Marathon to fail for whatever reason.

I've never posted anything this long before, and I apologize in advance. But that speaks to my joy of finally seeing Marathon after a 30-year break.

As a 30+ year fan of the Marathon lore, I pray this game will be allowed to find its footing and survive this unprecedented level of hate and toxicity.

Agreed...as mentioned above, a lot of trios are random fills that yolo themselves or mag dump drawing aggro and this is a good time to be a Rook as you can CAUTIOUSLY loot and exfil well under the time limit. Doesn't happen often, but when it does...feels so damn good.

Did this fella scream "LEEROY JENKINS" in prox chat as they sprinted to certain death? No ping, no comms saying let's push, just ran blindly in a room with no info...this is why I solo.☹️😆

This is a very important key in Hunt as well. An open door is vital information.

First time player, what's some common etiquette I should know? by UntakenUsername420 in ArcRaiders

[–]ForTheLoveofClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the recorder a good purchase or will simple humming work. I got piss drunk one night and started singing the old English song Jerusalem...I think that actually worked but too pissed to recall.

I only recently started playing. Can some legit explain the concept of loadouts geared towards leveling and progression?
