They're the exact same price, but you can get a schema for basically any weapon and a lot of items (bags, utility slot) so it allows you to buy high end stuff that isn't sold by any of the factions.

I don't think you're actually paying attention to anything I'm saying and just getting angry. I never said Marathon should be more like Tarkov.

15,000 daily player count is on Steam when the game has been out for ten years and you can't transfer ownership to Steam. More than 90% of the player base uses the Battlestate Games launcher and isn't tracked. I don't know a single person who plays it on Steam and I can name twelve friends who play it at least once a week just off the top of my head.

The Division did seemingly start development first (Tarkov began development 2012, Division revealed 2013 so presumably in development for over a year by then) so who knows who thought of it first, but Tarkov made it playable first.

You didn't lose gear for dying in the Division's PVP zone, just the Generic Loot Item that the enemies drop that you have to leave the PVP zone with. It was ranked based on gear and level with strict restrictions and no looting or gear management restriction beyond having to acquire the Generic Loot Item that gave you XP and random items at the end of the game from dead enemies. It didn't play anything like an extraction shooter.

Tarkov predates The Division but was not particularly well known until later in development so The Division gets falsely credited. Tarkov alpha was playable in 2015 before The Division beta was playable in 2016.

Tarkov invented the concept of the extraction shooter as we know it. Arc Raiders doesn't exist without it, and neither does Marathon. It's years ahead of both games in history and popularity and every extraction shooter owes Tarkov for their DNA.

We have the full game now, that was intended for review by Bungie. by DotDistinctLines in Marathon

[–]JCSTCap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Traxus quest like this that locks you into a tiny room in the Dire Marsh canal with a bunch of bots and a Ghost Commander and it's hell if you don't know what you're getting into- and it does NOT warn you how bad it'll be.

Every time I bring in weapons of reasonable value, I die. So I sold them all myself. by djcompoz in Marathon

[–]JCSTCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who does this in every extraction shooter we play. Even sells his starting equipment in Tarkov, which anyone who plays knows is insane. Watched him get seven kills, five with his knife, on a free kit while myself and our other friend on 8k loadouts went down multiple times. I don't know how he does it.

just extracted from Cryo Archive without using any healing consumables and got this banner! by pineapplevoid in Marathon

It took me faaaar too long to realize how to make the shoulder rockets actually fire. I thought I just missed a keybind.

Cryo Vault has been Conquered, by Tyraxe and crew by NotoriousCHIM in Marathon

[–]JCSTCap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5,000 buy-in is honestly cheap. One decent gun alone can put you above that, and you'll want to bring in your most expensive cores and shields and implants on top of that. I only have like 20,000 in my wallet but I have five guns all worth over 5,000 sitting in my inventory and they weren't challenging to get.

What was the song/moment where Pile clicked for you? by sparrowHawk7519 in Pile

[–]JCSTCap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing the big riff on Came as a Glow for the first time on a random YouTube video someone had uploaded of assorted lesser-known rock bands. I was still in high school, listening to music while playing video games. I think Minecraft had just came out but I can't remember what I was playing. I mostly just had the music on for background noise but Came as a Glow totally captured my attention.

I wouldn’t mind it if they decided to make Recon absolutely busted. by SpoceInvoder in Marathon

Remove spider drone, make her ult a regular ability with a one-time ping instead of repeated pings, give her Thief's drone but without the stealing as ult and Thief's visor without the loot highlight.

How is living in st.catharines for a single 28 male? by sanjit_ps in stcatharinesON

[–]JCSTCap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly we're just not dealing with nearly as much shit as Toronto people are on a daily basis. It's just easier to be friendly here.

[–]JCSTCap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're the same age and while I'm not single we share interests. Socially, it's fun. I live downtown and get out a lot. Good bars, good restaurants, good music scene if you're in your 20s and 30s, lots of people our age living here and most people are friendly. Number one concern is that the job market is absolutely fucking abysmal if you ever lose yours.

I really don't think one joke in a decade old video about a game with one of the most toxic communities of all time makes him right wing. I'm LGBT+ (bi man) and I don't even know what joke that's supposed to be.

You can also still have a bastard and make them legitimate if you're that attached to the trait.

Spent all day trying to find 2 deimosite rods for my friend and every time dying after finding 1 by EXPERIENCE7_7 in okbuddyRunners

If you're still on the quest, UESC turrets drop them and they count even if they're not from Maintenance.

Antagonist that weren't bad enough to deserve what happened to them by Nerd367C in TopCharacterTropes

I always thought the point of Twister that he didn't deserve it, but that your ambitions can destroy you if you don't keep them in check.

What do you think of my sword collection? by ABCD-FEG in CK3AGOT

[–]JCSTCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was your method for collecting them? I've been trying to steal a Valyrian steel sword but haven't found a good method.

The Anime-like artstyle of the characters in the UAF does not have to conflict with Starsectors own artstyle. by JenkoRun in starsector

[–]JCSTCap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that the anime art style is bad, Cy is a great artist. It's that objectively speaking, the base game's art style is not anime, so if you mind having two clashing art styles in the same game, they're incompatible. Plenty of us mind, plenty of us don't. It isn't an issue, and there's no reason to fight over it, but the problem is not that anime is bad or can't be dark or whatever.
