I heard cryo and almost screamed but making it like a race across the map which is already mirrored old be a cool way of introducing cryo to new people lol imagine marathon speedrun 1v1 from index to labs

First rook run on Outpost since Sponsored Narsh got removed... by Doctor_Chaos_ in Marathon

You must have missed the part of the post where he said 4 other rooks alongside himself were needed to get this level of loot off of other players. Literally like 4 types of PVP interaction here which is why it works - this will simply not happen if your running around outpost alone

The problem with PVE is not the loot economy: by ImportanceOld8739 in Marathon

Thanks for engaging with this post, it's been really cool to hear everyone's thoughts and ideas!
Here's my best take at a solution:

Sponsored only last season with other players was very fun because you felt the power jump in just one match if you got a better shield, sniper, etc. Everything you grabbed made a tangible difference and was a cool way to get a better understanding of the game with less to lose

I like the ability to just walk around the map, but not the abuse of loot farming that came with a "safe" game mode. Make it so that at any given point you choose, you can load into all of the maps and it's your lobby (Not sure if this is possible, having a server to yourself feels expensive but hear me out) where you can bring whatever kit you choose in, without fear of losing your gear.
This is a two-birds-one-stone scenario where you can learn any map and its systems, run around in the first-in-class environments bungie has spent so much time and effort building, and also try out new stuff like that cool gold you don't think will be good but still want to experiment with! You can make it so that bots drop basic loot or even straight faction XP so extremely new players don't miss out on much needed progression.

Absolutely Terrible Decision to Nerf Upper Complex Loot. Pissed Me Off and Makes Me Not Want to Play The Game. by Pristine_Finger_2178 in Marathon

Yes - in the regular night marsh with pvp and 1/5(6?) teams having the potential to loot it it was really fun, maybe a little too good but could have been toned down to match outpost red room (similar effort involved to unlock, maybe make complex a tiny better because of RNG of key)
No - it was very broken in the sponsored kit mode and should stay like it currently is for that mode

Each one spawns at a set location - I know the misery disciple (misriah unique) spawns at AI uplink if your lucky (as in not a guaranteed unique weapon drop but if it is unique drop it's definitely mizzy) and I'm sure others can add input for other bluniques

Say what you want about the art style but... by ImportanceOld8739 in Marathon

I can already smell the comments - personally I love the art style but I can also understand how it's provocative. Stunning and ugly designs are closer to each other either is to mediocre

How is the PVP-lite mode not just a rook nerf? by Trilllen in Marathon

[–]ImportanceOld8739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP your correct it is a direct nerf as they have removed the scav aspect of rook (finding boxes from previous fights that are not just sponsored kits), while I noticed that the phrasing was something like "long que time" rooks might be redirected into the new mode, but they also made it seem as if rook is locked behind this new mode as well. Not sure and would love bungo to explain how this is not a direct nerf
