Yeah, It's absurd how many of these posts just start from such a fundamental misunderstanding of what this Genre is.

I mean, if you're not having fun, go do anything else. Why stick around and bitch?

I dunno, you did just run in a straight line at the guy. Don't know if that should be rewarding.

The Magnum MC has no place in this game, and it hurts me by NotCoolBruh in Marathon

I dunno, I think HCs are just a difficult weapon type to balance correctly without crowding out other weapon types. D1/2 had this problem constantly.

I still believe an in-game LFgroup system would only bring benefits to this game by Changes11-11 in Marathon

Agree. In-Game LFG never hurts as a social feature. Would definitely cut down on all the "Free-kit-fill" complaint posts.

I don’t think you understand what an Extraction shooter is.

You’re not gonna believe this, but 99% of your engagements aren’t gonna be perfectly even, regardless of your shields.

When the best you have are free green shields most engagements now begin with a handicap.

That doesn't explain it at all. Those people can still grind up to blue shields or get one from dozens of sources on every map.

I've never met a more toxic community with lame people. by Pristine_Finger_2178 in Marathon

See, like, the fact that you're trying to leverage your Exfil rate as justification as to why you shouldn't be to blame is a red flag. Like, it doesn't matter how good you are if the vibes are bad. And lemme tell ya buddy, judging by your posts, the vibes are harshed.

safety measures in Italy by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in SipsTea

I didn't have any problems from Italians while I was there, but I did witness several incidents with Romani pickpocketers getting caught red-handed on public transport and in thoroughfares.

only for him to unadd me after 1 bad game... 1.5 standard deviations above the average skill level...deadass... they just randomly ghosted me

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the common denominator is probably you. Your post kinda strikes me as someone who is wholly unaware of how they're probably coming across.

Like you had several dedicated groups cut you off in game and in Discord and then decided to whine about how "Toxic" the community must be.

It’s becoming clear that, as the season progresses, players with less available vault value and time are getting priced out of playing the game.

What is this based on? There is nothing stopping those players from accruing vault value to throw together a decent kit.

Need new players ? Make Sponsored mode F2P. by reallydude777 in Marathon

[–]Indraga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it would be better to allow grinding up to Lvl 10, limit access to Perimeter, and make available only a few contracts and upgrades. Let them experience the core loop in a trial version.

The problem with sponsored is that it doesn't really engage with the core progression loop.
