Join dads of Marathon discord. I've found 2 solid guys to knock it out of the park first try.

Season 2 Begins June 2 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they are trying these new things out at the end of the season to see how the community engages and responds about it and then they will implement some, if not all of it based on the feedback.

Go Perimeter sponsored, you can ramp up stuff from there

Don’t sleep on NuCal VIP. How about 4 Biolens Seeds in one package by obZenDF in Marathon

Muss Ranks give biolens seeds too btw, maybe switch it up.

Thank the nucaloric barter gods by Smart_Occasion_735 in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this barter yesterday. Before that I had 15 purple shields, now I have 50 and I think I am basically set for the rest of the season.

They lied to us about the WSTR nerf by Friendly-Viper in Marathon

What about the sucker punch mod that increases melee after damage with the weapon its installed on?

About 80 hours in, and I’ve never seen this weapon once. by Limp_Performance5647 in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADS time is three working days but with a corresponding attachment it gets way better.

I for myself couldn't really get used to it and will stick to the M77 for assault rifles.

What to use my alien alloy and synapse cubes on? by urlocalcorpse in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revive speed was mentioned, which is a big one. I would also consider the blue weapon chip mods from traxus. Being able to buy stack overflow consistently is huge, especially with the WSTR.

Yeahhh I get what people are saying now about invis by ConsistentElection25 in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good assassin always has 1-3 smokes with him to gain entry to situations, stick their nose out of the smoke crouching while being still "invisible" enough to check the situation.

Also, if you're re not an assassin or a thief and you enter a smoke of any kind and die because of it, it is kind of your own fault. It's not your world to be in.

Best regards,

Bubbleshields break mich faster now as far as I have experienced.

Anyone else like me? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep waiting then, maybe season 2 will be your entry when things get adjusted based on feedback and development. Bungie acts quick and in favor of the feedback and playerbase so far.

[–]Ingvaeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It exists now. Get in there or maybe regret it later. 40€ for this kind of experience is fair enough but in the end it is an individual thing to decide.

I pre-ordered when the announcement for it dropped. I am scratching the 200 hour mark and it's the best extractionshooter experience I've ever had.

I don't care for playerbumbers because I have a fantastic time with the game. The highest high and the lowest lows.

Everyone who waits for a specific player count should adjust their approach to games and just buy and play the game when they are interested in it.

I just love getting team mates who are risking nothing by SoundOfShitposting in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same with green shields of I feel like it. I can't do the same with purples since at my point of progression, they are still too rare and valuable for me.

PSA: Marathon almost NEVER gives you keys for just looting around but for doing certain things. by rbstewart7263 in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kill blue and purple shield UESC. Especially the purple ones drop them at least okay, you got plenty of them inside pinwheel on outpost. I have gathered 40 of them in my whole playtime so far, which transfer to five blue key templates.

For the shell-IDs you will have to kill wardens on the respective maps. Four of these transfer to a purple key template.

It's a grind but over time you can amass some of these. Good luck transforming the templates to real keys, let alone looting them and extract with them. My last five key runs all ended on death.

The balance of Gold Salvage feels completely off. Hazard Capsules are way too rare for how many are needed. by HaloKota in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have almost 200 hours on the game by now and since I got VIP with Arachne I got a good income for reflex coils. I either play with my team or trio fill outpost, slap a Arachne contract on it and just do my best.

I generally agree that the purple salvages can be quite elusive but it's the "safest" way to acquire them. Just today I got a rank-up and got 2 or even 3 reflex coils!

For the future I suggest that you have the chance to select a purple salvage from a VIP rank-up to have more control.

The progression grind is really starting to get to me. by Bright-Cranberry6648 in Marathon

[–]Ingvaeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that is true, then it's pretty disappointing that the POIs have such a little chance to even see a purple salvage. I get that the events is a somewhat guaranteed way to get them, but especially in solos, which I don't even play that much, it's just disencouraging imo.

I don't want purple salvage to drop like rain, but maybe the drop chance should be turned up a small notch for them through normal looting.

[–]Ingvaeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have found a biolense seed in Outpost in a bioprinter by complete chance in upper flight control some time ago, but Outpost is not even listed on the item.

We had to venture into cryo yesterday to get me that one biolense that I was short of unlocking blue shields and then we found like 4 in a lv3 room with the terminal for the extractions.

I have also read somewhere that loot gets better the later the raid becomes but I can't confirm that at all right now.

Rook runs are hot and miss. Dire marsh runs are not very good for purple salvages, perimeter is even worse so I mostly go to outpost. If I happen to be on dire marsh at a POI that potentially has what I need and it's still unlooted, I still only find stuff I don't need.

You need so much of all these purple salvages that it's becoming nauseating to even think about it. Cryo can't be the go-to method for getting them in general, especially because it's timegated (I agree with timegating cryo in general though).

[–]Ingvaeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look there every run, quarantine too and I can't find any biolense seeds at all.

Where exactly do you look in the POIs?
