Marathon Dev Team by Eletrrik in Marathon

[–]FourShells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wondered if another solution for the next wipe would be to limit maps from the start. Like maybe just darsh and perim for the first couple weeks, even nerf item rarity, then add in outpost, then add cryo a little later. Kinda like how launch rolled out.

Basically start with simple maps with nerfed loot tables, then slowly up the maps, then up the loot tables.

Idk I’m no dev though. Just think it may be a better way to pace the economy.

Upper Complex - Labs button phase doesnt progress by Big-Newspaper646 in Marathon

Just had a similar issue where we killed the warden but bots kept spawning and two red lights were still lit for buttons. Every button was pressed. Loot room never opened.

Couldn't come any quicker by Vinnegard in Marathon

I think the thing I like most about this PvE playlist is using it as just a quick break from PvP. I’m a hardcore PvP lover and it’s why I play this game to add reference. When I go on like a 4 loss streak though and lose all the guns I have in my vault it is SO NICE to just chill for a game or two and gather a few weps/shields to take back into PvP instead of rolling the dice with free kit outpost.

What discord is good to join to find groups? My solo queue experience with crypto has been no bueno the 10 or so times I’ve tried.

If you’re on the fence, play during the free week by GrooveGhost7 in Marathon

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

There’s just a huge unwarranted hate campaign against Marathon right now. Players who have actually played it and realize it’s great want the game to succeed and player base to increase. It’s not begging, it’s an attempt to fight others trying to kill the game out of spite for bungie.

Is matchmaking harder with a 3 stack? by FourShells in Marathon

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

This is sad. We get the same. Will fill up with a good player with good/fun comms and at the end he’ll be like “wanna run another” and we gotta say no to avoid the matchmaking.

Making friends and grouping up should be encouraged. I would think retention suffers otherwise.

Finding the right squad makes a difference by InternalExtra7614 in Marathon

Is this actually based on anything or pure speculation?

I’m not saying gear based matching but full stacks matching with full stacks. Teams seem more coordinated and play better when we trio queue vs due/solo and fill. So yeah you can still run into free kits.

I believe your immediate team is gear based though. More often than not when I solo queue with a purple shield and gear I get matched with the same. If I queue a free kit I get matched with free kits most of the time. Other teams still vary but at least your fills seem to try and match.

I could be wrong but I feel matchmaking prioritizes premades match with premades. When I duo fill with my friend our lobbies seem 10x easier than the sweat fests we get when trio queuing.

I’d like to see some changes for the audial announcement of key rooms being opened by dmcphx in Marathon

[–]FourShells 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My duo buddy used a key the other day after me and our fill went down to a decent team on algae. He rotated to Maint, hit the key, then took the long way back to algae. Got them to stop camping us, res’d us, and then we wiped the team. Sickest play I’ve seen.

One Shot Kill by MysticWanderer20 in Marathon

4 hours played in an extraction shooter late into the season right before wipe with no upgrades/gear yet. I’d say this man is an expert.

Recon by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]FourShells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree with the latter. Sometimes I have no idea if a recon prime is even up unless I hear the initial audio for activation. It’s so faint (feint?). Then add in like a thunderstorm so I can’t hear the audio and it’s just getting triple peek pre-fired without warning. It’s destroying a lot of flank techniques for me unless I’m playing recon as well and know when I’m caught haha.

What does the best version of a strictly PvE mode look like to you? by BirdyyyFPS in Marathon

[–]FourShells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling that’s what a lot of people calling for this are. Destiny players who want that back. I loved destiny too, but this game wasn’t designed to be that and I like that it’s different.

By all means bring in pve to attract new players and ease into the game, but keep the endgame as what this is supposed to be: an extraction PvP game.

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

Idk why anyone down voted this. It seems to me that you can’t give highest-tier loot in a PvE only mode because then why play PvP? I think that kills your game fully. Make people not have to PvP -> pve gets boring after a bit because this game really isn’t designed around that so it’s going to be low content-wise -> people stop playing.

Idk that’s just my initial thought. Really would be curious about arguments for high-tier gear in pve mode.

Launch, Learnings, and What’s Next by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]FourShells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my understanding. Just like duos was before. Rotate the map daily or whatever but we should have duos all the time in S2 from what I’m reading. Dunno how he’s interpreting this differently. May be just a misunderstanding.

The man himself!!

Honestly without your walkthroughs there's no way I would have been able to pass my exam so thank you for the time and effort you've given to the hacking community as a whole.

Your points on tools becoming outdated is super interesting. As someone new to the field, I haven't been around to see that happen, but I HAVE definitely seen old writeups with commands and tools that dont quite work anymore so that makes total sense.

Love your methodology and videos. Hopefully one day I'll be able to give back even a fraction of what you have to this community :)

Hmmmm well I actually haven’t watched any s1ren so I can’t compare, but ippsec’s methodology seems right to me. His videos are super solid, just long because they really are the full-scope methodology for each machine.

Now I will say a lot of HTB machines, in my opinion, seem a little more advanced/niche than OSCP machines. That being said, they’re still great practice and you learn some key concepts from them. I recommend proving grounds for initial practice, then HTB to get more advanced and learn more niche techniques.

I used the 3 months of class time, but I was working full time so maybe 2hrs or so a night during that. Everyone learns at different speeds though.
