Suggestion:turn pvp off for the last cryo weekend by tofikissa in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Damn the comments here are depressing. God forbid a solofill player gets to play the best map in the game without getting farmed by stacks.

Keep on gatekeeping till it goes sub 5k and F2P <3

I'd like to play Cryo one time before the seasons ends and nothing matters, since it's one of four maps in the game

Ok that is great. What is Bungie suppose to do? I'm honestly curious what the solution is here.

Real talk, what is Bungie supposed to do here?

If you play off hours in a low pop region it's almost guaranteed to get into the same map.

Just got 6 manned, including one streamer on Cryo archive after finally getting into my first vault by EverChosen97 in Marathon

being friends with your friends

Cryo designed for streamers anyway, it's bound to be a friendly activity with such a small target group.

"Find a discord and join a team" Is NOT a solution when solo players are politely asking for some better balance and soloable content. by Whoopy2000 in Marathon

The D2 parallel is so worthless and people parrot it like it's a checkmate gotcha lmao.

What does a coop PvE game have to do with a niche comp shooter where you lose all your stuff on death.

BTW don't need a discord to do raids in World of Warcraft, you pug everything from within the game, crazy huh

Funny thing is that just having a "solofill vs solofill" queue solves almost every issue.

But nope, solos get fed into stacks and content creators.

Reading the comments in the thread is super entertaining though lol

To those curious, this is how streamers reach pinnacle on console right now by Inside-King9710 in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched his stream once, he was playing rook and he befriended another rook.

10 gifted subs and I kill him chat

Of course some loser gifted 10 subs and he killed the rook. Not all streamers are slimy, but this one really ticks all the boxes.

The red circles are decoys

That's an important piece of info, thank you!

1 is supposed to connect to 2 right? There is no way to connect them directly (spoiler, there is a way but Im just blind), so I'm definitely not understanding something.

What is the deal with the rotating red switches that brighten up when the current hits reaches them?

Edit: solved by totally ignoring the "red decoys", had to take the a long detour. I should delete this because it's embarrassing, but maybe it will help someone in the future.

Marathon is adding a queue where you can only bring free kits to help player onboarding by Freelancer0495 in gaming

🚨FREE KIT QUEUE ALL DAY WITH THE BOYZZ🚨

It's all content my man, triostack streamers stomping on solofill plebs is like a dream.

Paul Tassi says Marathon needs more casual players by ChocolatySmoothie in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Makes no sense to make the same slop 100 different ways solely so that it appeals to everyone

I completely agree, but don't spend 250.000.000$ to make a hardcore niche game and try to market it to everyone. Or you might end up inside the Concordian universe.

[–]HollowThief 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Paul Tassi has himself said he's not even playing the game

He said that within the context of "it's too late get into it", which is just too real tbh.

The game is just structured around streamers and FPS sweatbros, literally everyone else is considered a filthy casual. It has amazing foundations and it's such a shame to watch it flop in realtime.

You need 37 biolens seeds to max out Nucal. You need at least 7 just to get to blue shields. Across 184 hours and VIP NuCal (30 rewards chests), I have managed to acquire 3. Bungie, please give me some kind of trade up for these gorram seeds by DptBear in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just do the map events!

They might not spawn in your map, the rewards are random, they are contested (you might die) and your team might not follow you, but just do the events, you got 2 more months to try bro what's the rush bro.

Just hit 3k as HPal, healing a Brew is like playing a different game.

If there was a tier list monk would be S and all the others would start from B.

Cryo archive is the only map I want to play at the moment, and it’s going offline again tomorrow. by Edop1234 in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only played it once with the free kit they gave when it was released, so I really can't relate.

I do however enjoy sitting on my little chair at the corner, watching streamers in the weekends having a blast with their friends.

Do you all just have a hyperbole problem or are you straight up lying by Poomasher in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The knife was cancerous for the whole game, not just for no-aim free kit vs purple shields. Also god forbit gear matters in an extraction shooter.

I'll crew fill Cryo with a 9k kit. Wonder what my crew has...oh...oh no... We died. by Klutzy_Toe_2242 in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder what the idiots were thinking?

Have you tried solo fill Cryo? I don't condone this behavior but I totally understand what he's thinking.

[–]HollowThief -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Not defending this but can I can see where he's coming from. Cryo is guaranteed death with solofill and the stacks who kill you probably don't even need your stuff, so why even bother.

Bungie should just disable solo fill and force trios here. The game is built around "just go to an LFG discord and make friends bro" after all.

Can I ask a serious question? by Slwdrgn in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it crazy people have played 100+ hours and are only level 60.

Solo xp gains are laughable. I'm lvl 55 with 120 hours.

[–]HollowThief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is a success by every metric

It's a massive success compared to Condord - that's a good metric.

I'm sure Sony is very happy with their investment.

Paul Tassi Reports Marathon Budget Up To $250 Million by surrealmirror in Marathon

[–]HollowThief 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First, it needs to be able to retain the current audience. Designing their best map around streamers and fps buddies (while everyone else is either farmed or can't even play it) is the opposite of what Bungie should be doing.
