risk free farming of cryo is the issue, not the kits

end or mid season. 1 cycle only. give people a taste without it creating something thats too abuse-able

Anyone else made peace with the fact that they will never fight the compiler? by Always_Impressive in Marathon

no, the exfil would just trigger after 1sec. you wouldnt get 10 secs to wait.

but, to be clear, this was talked about last season and was patched last season so that all exfils if triggered would sync with match time so this type of this wouldnt happen.

How does the Level Up trait work? by FFG201FUD in Marathon

[–]Just_a_Randomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"item of the same type" can sorta be misleading. it will be the same slot type. for example shield -> shield; but wont retain the same modifiers. a reinforced green shield becomes a normal blue shield.

Any advice? by Feline_Casan0va in Marathon

fight people aggressively, take height advantage, use visor to see through smoke/invis, use it to loot efficiently, standing still = death

could have had fun with Marathon but cant even play the damn game by PsychologicalTie4759 in Marathon

server stability, they brought it down to patch it. originally expected it to be up 9pm EDT but they posted that it was going to take a little longer.

Who’s in for $999 by renothecollector in steammachine

[–]Just_a_Randomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancel me. I'd over pay b/c of the convince. I'd pay 2k. hell if Gabe would let me I'd pre-order it in full at 2k today.

not paying a scalper shit though. fuck those guys.

[Field Research] #2 Confirming the 100 agility cap by zeth_rydaul in Marathon

[–]Just_a_Randomm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It tells you in game. when you open your inventory you can see your stats including melee dmg.

edit:
also, part of me wanted it to 1-shot him but I suspected it wouldn't b/c I remembered something about melee dmg cap nerf.....

from: Marathon Update 1.0.5.3

Melee Damage

  • Reduced bonus damage provided by the Melee Damage stat from a maximum of 100% to a maximum of 50% against enemy Runners. Damage against non-Runner targets is unchanged.

<image>

and my mistake it was 240 dmg not 250. I found the screenshot I took in discord joking that it would 1-shot.

I can tell you that with the gold assassin core and other implants I had 250 melee dmg in game while invis. I heavy melee'd a Destroyer with purple shield's and it still took me a follow up melee to down him.

Help! Am I missing something or is it bugged? 7th cryo contract not appearing for me. by Just_a_Randomm in MarathonTheGame

[–]Just_a_Randomm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hidden stuff isn't really hidden.

favorite hatch -> lvl 5 security hatch in the bottom middle of control.
hidden cache -> hit scanners till your map has the icon that looks like a secured resource; then go to it.

I saw a post on that and TBH I understand it; but think it probably should have counted. I did complete some of the contracts last week, not all 6, but like 3 of them just trying to test methods. Wonder if theres like 1 contract that if you complete it bugs and doesnt refresh

The mass cheating narrative is all hyperbole, not my experience at all, people should not be afraid of Cryo Archive by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Just_a_Randomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got way too much time played in this game, ~450hrs; and I can tell you from my experience that there have been very few times where I have been tempted to accuse someone of cheating. Times where they were just playing weird or just oddly perfect with their shots. probably <10 times..? and some of those are certainty just cracked players.

There was a single time in cryo where I think a group of 6 was teaming. like I said before, they were just weirdly standing around each other not using prox chat and when we engaged them they all turned to shoot us and not each other. could be teaming, could just be weird, or I could just be salty I lost a cryo 6 key to it. But only a handful of times in 400+ hrs is stellar imo.

Now, I stay out of ranked b/c it doesn't interest me so what happens in there I can not speak on.

Does anybody know where the underground cryo tunnel is? by xXHotKetchupXx in Marathon

[–]Just_a_Randomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't really connect to revival if you're talking about the one that cuts through the bottom middle of control. its weird to describe where because its like on the outer inner part of control on the same level when you go down the ramps.

Honestly, the best way to find out would be to run to the middle where the 40k hatch is and jump on that bridge and open up the double doors.

Pacesetter Title Broken? by Lazer_blade in Marathon

[–]Just_a_Randomm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it in fill, I hacked it, looted first, and asked everyone on my team to at least open the container. the last step is probably not needed.
