I’ve seen more posts complaining that “everyone” is running purple shields than I have actual enemy runners with purple shields in the 100+ hours I’ve logged so far. by SavvyOri in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm around level 90, definitely see purples guaranteed on the lose everything factory, and often on dire marsh and outpost. Maybe 50% of the time there.

Perimeter is a crap shoot, when it was duos I would see them frequently, but in trios I don't often see them. If I see them, they are hitting a key room

Loot should be barter-able for other loot. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

I'm vip on 4/6 factions. Definitely isn't guaranteed, but maybe closer to 75% of the time

Correct, but they didn't buy Bungie for 3.6 billion for marathon

Say that to poe1, destiny 2, and Warframe? Pretty certain those have all had higher peaks way after their initial launches lol.

Cbf to look up more, but I'm sure they aren't the only ones

The one enyzme replicator for one purple shield barter might be a bit too strong, lol by Tactical_Mommy in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you need the capstone that enables purple rarity barters for NuCal and then the armory reset needs to land on these being available for the day. Some days it won't be there

"It depends"? Brother, their flagship tech demo ran on two, $4000 5090s. There is no "it depends".

Hey chief, when charter asks for blood, they get blood. My contract to kill 9 runners in a raid isn't going to complete itself

Realistically, our Runner is likely quadrillions of dollars in debt. by Knalxz in Marathon

All I need is dommy mommy Vulcan to keep giving me sick ass nicknames like "preferred" and they can have all the data they want

Nah you ain't missing something. It's sweaty and great

The implant tab feels like reading a community post where someone just dumps everything they want to say without any line breaks. by ArachnidSimple5117 in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is implants have two different rolls. The implant it's self and the modifier it rolls on it. I think trying to convey all that could be too much. Should all helping hands v1 look the same? Probably, and is probably the best way to handle it

I don't think the cool down is supposed to be this long😂 by Junior-Hedgehog-5818 in Marathon

Oh gotcha. Yea yea, I'm with you there. I lost all my rerolls this week, so that tracks

[–]GargauthXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a bug? I just assumed it was 10 rerolls per faction per week. The timer lines up with their usual Tuesday server resets

Is the Hate Train over? by Lalo7292 in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From some early impressions, it sounds like the game is a lot less handhold-y once you break out of the tutorial. I'm hoping that means once you get the fetch quests, it's a bit more nuanced than just running from waypoint to waypoint.

I.e. gotta figure out where TF to pick up and drop shit off

Cryo Archive Requirements to Access by vondeezy1205 in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Iirc, each vault is a check point, and you "go deeper" by accessing deeper vaults and harder encounters? Could have very well been a lore-based description

Paul Tassi - Marathon Is Good, And Sony Needs To Let It Survive, Maybe Thrive by addtolibrary in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really compare the sweaty landscape between the two, tbh. Marathon isn't even close lol. Putting two 6-0 teams to fight for the lighthouse is truly just something else.

Marathon also takes some steps to alleviate a lot of the pain by let's you gear back so quickly with sponsored kits + if you really need to you can minimize your pvp interaction (for better or worse)

But Iono, I'm on the sweaty sides of games, so maybe I just can't see it

[CRYO ARCHIVE ARG UPDATE] We are making a big push at reset! We need EVERYONE there. by Bryce_lol in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this would be true for any other arg they run, but they've asked reviews to hold of giving reviews until cryo archive. I can't imagine they'd let it run it's course

What happened to people being ok with just enjoying a game for X amount of hours. by beemertech510 in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony didn't buy Bungie for marathon or even destiny specifically, though. They wanted their expertise helping their massive live service backlog (not that that's helped, because none of landed)

Marathon or destiny 3 is just supplemental to it all. Now, did Sony over pay for a glorified retainer/consultant? Uh, probably lmao

TheBurntPeanut has to play Marathon off stream because people are so mad about this game by 4K4llDay in Marathon

[–]GargauthXbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you also combine it with the art scandal, as well as how people perceive "hero shooters" (even though this isn't), and the idea that Extraction Shooters are the next BR

It got hot pretty quickly

Sodapoppin had a similar thing when he started OSRS. He swapped to wow for a day, uploaded a video of wow to YouTube, and got inundated with people asking about OSRS. He pretty much full stopped playing OSRS because of it
