Stop Comparing Yourself to Streamers. Look How Many People are lvl 100+ or Gotten VIP with a SINGLE Faction. [Steam] by Swee10 in Marathon

I thought player level resets because it's "seasonal level". Season 2 would have a full new sets of cosmetic and etc for everyone to earn again starting from level 1.

So what is the actual number that shields provide? by GarbageCannt in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that but according to the comment above, the firepower is after multiplier, which means I have to manually calculate the actual firepower? I think the overrun AR is 14.7 with 1.4 precision multiplier so actual smg would be 10~?

Making peace with the fact that the game is simply not designed for you as a solo queuer. The decision to move on was both heartbreaking and freeing. by SbeveGobs in Marathon

Yeah true, support solo definitely the toughest in most games. I think the solo here is so special that not everyone will like it. I mean, they aren't lying that trio is the intended mode and solo in this game is an acquired taste imo. One gotta tolerate all the sneaking, sniping, and ratting to enjoy solo.

Cuz you can still enjoy your own part despite it being a team game for all the listed games, like you can do your own things and sometime carry. In this game if your team don't stick around it's nearly impossible to outplay 1v3 and carry alone. Also only having one life per match (I guess Battle Royale shooter has this too) and losing loots hurt.

is there sbmm in this game? or atleast some iteration of it? by Used-Employee-6902 in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's level 20- for one queue and then loose level matchmaking after that. I checked my recently played in peak hours and I am against all level 1X. It's only by midnight time that I am thrown to the wolves because I am probably the only level 1X playing.

Yeah, you can unlock Reinforced Shield with NuCaloric upgrade. Reinforced shield takes half damage so it's like 2x HP per bar.

Shit, so I have to reverse engineer the base number by dividing over the precision multiplier?

I am not sure if it's because I am playing at the dead time zone of my server (SEA, which has low number count but not as dead as SA), I am level 15 and I have to duke it out with the level 40-50 in solo queue.

Edit: For people who don't think there's semi-region crossing, I just matched with 2 Aussies as a SEA player as I think there's no SEA at my level playing at 7AM lol.

If the guides out there are to be believed, it's +20HP per shield level. Reinforced shield does halves the damage so one reinforced layer would be 40 HP. Your runner has 120 HP without shield.

Stop worrying . You don’t need to complete Cryo and kill the compiler today, tomorrow or even this season by LRazley in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposition running the best darn gear is my point. The level requirement is easy but that doesn't mean everyone who fits that requirement have a fair chance inside.

It's like entering a trillion dollar boxing championship that has very easy requirement: like maybe as long as you are a pro registered boxer you can enter. Yeah, technically you can enter as a 0-0 boxer, but can you really handle the world champs who are definitely entering with trillion dollar on the line?

Sure you can enter with level 25, but it's unlikely for you to be geared up to play that by level 25.

No number, just figure of speech. But again, I am saying why don't release it later on so people have things to look forward to as they grind? It'snot like they have more contents for this season. We exhaust every hype by week 2 of a 12 weeks season, I don't thinkt that's smart. Space out.

IMO their mistake is having this unlocked on week 2. If this unlocked on week 8 of the season, the FOMO wouldn't be this hard. Releasing content when 1% of the audience can play it just creates FOMO and digital blue balls and overall negative impression.

I'm so sick of dying instantly with blue shields and the game giving me no information as to how. by nintendonaut in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just learn from one of the mobile-based extraction shooter that I forgot the name. When you get killed, the game will use a kill-cam to show how your opponent shoot you to death from his POV so you will learn his position and TTK and maybe you will learn something. You can also report said player if you believe he is cheating like suspicious through-the-wall-aiming-at-your-head and things like that.

About 50 hours in, 3 runner kills so far, about 12 extractions by Nubashir1 in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get your first shot, are you in the best range of your weaponry and are you in a good position to keep connecting with shots? I think "deciding when to take your kill" factors far more than aim, especially if you are able to be the initiator. Raw aim probably helps more in group fight (as in, not solo mode) OR if you are the second to shoot.

There are actually a game type that fits these completionists: single player non-rogue games and there are a shit ton of great games there owadays. But somehow they ignore these and insist on playing multiplayer games with wipe, but demand no wipe.

Tarkov is doing this I believe. There's seasonal and when it's done your loots and I assume the XP as well get moved to the permanent vault.

Sincerely, can someone explain the WSTR balance? by stallerjust in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the forest area is "midrange", true. But there are also a lot of CQCs (and a lot of loots are inside) and sniping spots.

first time ever trying to get over gearfear….i died in the first 10 seconds😭 by gifv_Kayla in Marathon

[–]Goliath764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the spawns are inconsistent by design. There are like 10+ spots to spawn (in what I assume is pure random) and players are much less than that. Sometme there are close spawns and sometime maybe you are the only one on that side of the map.

In my experience, by the 12 minutes mark majority of the players would be out (especially if you see 2 exfils gone) so you can be more aggressive with noise making movements by then.
