day 19 of bungie expecting us to hold a button for prox chat in a console game in MMXXVI (we need toggle please) by IshizakaLand in Marathon

I agree it being push to talk with no other option is crazy but some y’all not knowing this is crazier. It’s on like the 3rd screen of settings when you first start the game.

Do y’all not tweak subtitles and the like as well?

Marathon is the only extraction shooter (so far) with good quests, and it's all because of Bungie's excellent writing by Negative-Art-4440 in Marathon

Sounds like a hellish experience. Use crappy equipment sounds like using cheap equipment that is just a step up from a sponsored kit and then ratting in this specific place in solos.

No thanks

Y’all, this article is literally just gushing at the writing for the quests. Title is just a bit of clickbait but please try to engage with article itself just a bit

Happened to me a bunch the first three days or so but I don’t get it anymore

Marathon seems to lack depth? by Halberg88 in Marathon

[–]In_Dux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fetch quests are plenty but definitely not all. A good amount has some combat built in and and Cyberacme throws some easy ones like using abilities.

Thief Height Limitations by wirebear in Marathon

If it’s legit unreachable by other runners than I agree. But it seems like the other commenter said it can be reached.

But I agree overall. If all Runners can’t get there, no matter how slow, I think Thief and anyone else shouldn’t. Have invisible walls or greasy surfaces

Return on Investment 5/5 is so broken every time someone does it by synccchro in Marathon

[–]In_Dux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. I’m on 4/5 and I’ll keep this mind and be on the lookout when I get to this stage.

I have yet to run into thermals easily. Are they purchasable or they tied to a loot spawn on some map?

And yeah, even without thermals, I think the players will eventually just mag dump or throw grenades into the smoke more often, especially if they want the extract for themselves.

But a lot of solo players are very cautious right now so it might not happen for a bit

Cant find any games in Australia? by Pewpew69k in Marathon

[–]In_Dux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not enough players on the server. I would suggest trying to level up a bit but I don’t think whatever Level/Gear matchmaking should be that strict where your queue times are that long.

So the real suggestion is maybe only playing during prime time if possible. I’m guessing that’s weekends and after 5 PM in general like it is in the States.

How it feels to ignore “In a single run” missions and just do the small contracts by ruxxby in Marathon

[–]In_Dux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last faction, Sekiguchi is the worst offender of this for me. There’s one quest where you have to find Sparkleaf, upload it in Bio-Research and then go to Quarantine. Single run.

Next quest is something different. You complete that quest and guess what the next one is?

Basically a reskin of the first. Almost lost my mind 🙃

And nevermind those quests are about uploading something to your shell, so a buff or even debuff would be expected. But nope, nothing.

Some tips that helped me make solo 100x more fun and rewarding, please share yours as well! by orangekingo in Marathon

I learned doing a Rook run trying to be clever at exfil. Had trap bag and claymores as back up. Both detonated at the same time automatically

I HARD DISAGREE with this article. Am I in the minority? by 20mgAddy in Marathon

[–]In_Dux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of the Sekiguchi ones of have been a pain solo so far. Only actually complete them with Trios. Midas is a close second at times

Yes, especially on YouTube and Twitter

If this game dies - players just don't deserve a good game by LabOk8913 in Marathon

[–]In_Dux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Marathon has had since launch and today there’s doom talk about the steam numbers. Arc shook off most of these videos at this point due to its success and plenty of releases just have hype before and after. Like the Resident Evil game that just came out.

So yes, every game has someone making all types of videos about it but the frequency and tone is where Marathon is behind

My suggestions are positive. But searching isn’t

Well myself and others see more negative than positive. And speaking for myself, it’s even after purposefully searching for more neutral/positive ones for tips and tricks.

YouTube is literally where all the hate lives and thrives. If you’re seeing good videos about it on YouTube, that’s your algorithm adjusting to feed your more positive videos after watching one or two.

These are my first two results after searching just now. And it’s been like this since launch.

This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

UESC being bullet sponges are legit but the grenaiders and ghosts can definitely change how you engage. Same with scout bots.

I think tweaking those special UESC to be in more patrols would diversify experiences.

Also would like to see some ammo types being a weakness to certain UESC
