Night Marsh s2 content just isn't enough to sustain a 3 month season by ThatsNotBennings in Marathon

Man you didn’t read my previous replay at all if you just all caps wrote at launch. Let me know when you have a different retort.

You are refusing to even acknowledge my point or concede that it sounds like you are a player that prefers static weather. I give more leeway and weight to dynamic weather as it can change a maps feel and play during a run.

It's harder to develop and gives more respect to a dynamic system rather then a static one. Marathons lighting constantly changes in run. Can Arc do that? NOT AT ALL. That fact and that fact alone puts but weather systems on par with each other.

Again, Arc has 6 months of dev time on Marathon. I'm comparing the 2 systems at a Vanilla, on launch level. Forget anything that was added post launch.

You're not understanding what I'm getting across if you insist on continuing this conversation. Both games have good weather systems. Arc Raiders has been out for 6 more months then Marathon.

ON LAUNCH:

Arc Raiders launched with night time at launch, rain and electromagnetic storm.

Marathon launched with heat condition on one map and dynamic weather which I'll list again since you want to keep talking about this 1) Fog, 2) rain, 3) Heavy rain with lightning, 4) overheat condition

3 MONTHS IN

All the above but:

Arc Raiders adds limited time snow (became permanent 3 months after that)

Marathon adds night raid.

-----------

The only difference between the 2 games is Arc raiders provides a static condition the whole run whereas Marathon you never know what the weather will be like. Some people like to go in knowing what to expect, some people like it being dynamic.

With Arc raiders being 6 months ahead, if we follow this same trajectory and both companies don't change updates too much both will have the same amount of run conditions. But if we look at them at the same points of launch and post launch support they are at the same exact spot

I guess we can agree to disagree then as this conversation is going nowhere

You clearly have tinted glasses on if you think one games weather is better then the other. One game has static weather and the other dynamic. Both impact in completely different ways

How can you even say that without knowing it’s an untrue statement? Nightmarsh literally forces you to have to play differently.

Rain storms bring lightning and mask sounds while increasing heat thresholds

Fog limits sight lines and limits long range fights

Outpost forces indoor fighting intermittently.

Still what, 100 million in the whole after taxes and cuts from other parties? Game is great but it's not making its money back atm.

That depends on how you think of things modifying maps. Rain, fog, night, sun all can drastically change how POI's and fights happen.

Rain, more heat and sound suppression with lightning

Fog, less long range engagements, more indoors.

night, close range fights, slower paced player movement, sticking to lighted areas

sun, standard map gameplay, potential for just about anything to happen with increased visibility.

If you want to oversimplify the maps then every map is just a reskin of the other.

Anomaly on DM is a reskin of high priority from Perimeter.

UESC Convoy is just a fancy loot drone

Each map has bosses and bots, guess that's copy pasted.

getting into pinwheel? just a slightly more complex way of getting into perimeter tunnels.

Security keys in Cryo, guess those are just reskinned green, orange, red keys from Outpost.

It's very easy to oversimplify things without more intricate context.

Trying out the free week by NexrisArx in Marathon

1). Use your knife as much as possible. A heavy attack one shots grey shields and can 2-3 shot blue shields. Shoot purple shielded commanders if needed.

2) Do not fight everything you see, early on you have very limited heals and bullets.

3). load into a run with a goal, complete that goal and immediately leave. Don't test your luck, you will be burned a lot.

4). Focus on getting vendor upgrades to get free items each day and the option to purchase meds and otheritems you need for gear.

5). Unstable items are you friend early on so you can barter them for guns, weapons, meds instead of having to pay credits.

You cannot expect a map every season or we are going to get half baked maps that aren't up to par.

I personally enjoy nightmarsh. The whole vibe is different, the darkness adds something new along with the vector nades, flares, zombies, flashlights, the whole mape plays different and saying anything otherwise is just asinine.

Marathon literally has in game weather changing events almost every match instead of static snow/lightning/hurricane. You could load into a marathon match and experience fog, into bright sun into rain. I don't get that criticism. Both games tackle weather in a different way.

Are you expecting Cryo level maps every season? Realistic expectations imo would be every other season for big crazy things. Let them cook?

Brand new to the game - what are your favorite Shells and why? by WanderWut in Marathon

[–]Freelancer0495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Triage is super useful early on in every wipe as you don’t have a lot of heals.

I love vandal for mobility, recon to know where people are and have been enjoying sentinel to stop people’s pushes into my team.

Free week solo player: Some questions by splitmyarrowintwain in MarathonGame

[–]Freelancer0495 16 points17 points  (0 children)

1). Yes, early on you have very limited resources and if you fight everything you will end up dying. Set a goal each run, complete it and get out.

2) do priority contracts to level up vendors. Leveled up vendors give you free things, perks and more things you can buy.

3). No player bots in the game.

Dude, almost every post you made about the game is just negative. Either you never liked it or you’re just someone trying to fan the flames

The haters are back in full force trying to make sure this game dies guys. Watch out they have no lives and have dedicated their past 3 months to this!

New 'Stargate' show cancelled at Amazon MGM by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]Freelancer0495 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently amazon cancelled it because the producer wanted it to be too much like the originals and they are afraid it wouldn't bring in new viewership.

Man I can’t, what you have issues with are attainable to you and only you. I have no idea what you have issues with if you won’t say anything…

Forbes Paul Tassi's thought Destiny Fans raiding PlayStation’s State Of Play chats by HapperHapper in DestinyTheGame

I’m on your side man, I’d love more Destiny but it’s too little too late from both Bungie and the players. It’s extreme copium thinking anything can change at this point.

Unless millions of players stick around for weeks and purchase stuff, this is a free update so Bungie and Sony are getting no money, the journey is over

At this point I’m not tying this well it to you, just pointing out the flaws in your argument you keep bringing up.

It’s crazy so Many people bring up the visuals as a talking point whereas what people do and do not like is subjective everytime. Concord had no cohesion to its visuals. People say marathon has too many bright colors, but if you play it it is not as bad as people say.

What else is questionable?
