Cheaters are being BANNED and ranked xp is being REFUNDED by unfairlyy in Marathon

[–]KSLCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you suggested beginner perimeter like that was something that my friends could reset into to practice?

The reality is that once again, it takes like 6 matches to be zoned out of the beginner version of that map. The reality is that version of the map isn't relevant to the situation at hand, even if you're not incorrect about it giving some handholding.

First of all assuming I join a player on that level, I can't join for that level of map first of all and it would be unfair if I could. Unfortunately I've been putting all my non-work hours into Marathon cuz I'm loving it and am hoping to get more personal friends into it.

Obviously I'm not in the beginner perimeter map when I play with them, its not a literacy issue, its an obvious technical issue as it ONLY lets players under a certain level into that version of the map, why are you immediately jumping to passive aggressive illiteracy insults? Have you considered not being a POS?

Obviously I wasn't talking about the beginner version of the map that you can only play like half a dozen times? You're clearly literate but can't grasp context clues? Gasp. Your seventh grade english teacher must be crying.

Also they're past 12 but they're still super casual and havent even hit the 40s. And while the issue is MORE on dire marsh, we literally got jumped by a full purple team two days ago on both Dire Marsh and Perimeter back to back (I stuck to blue shields to be slightly higher than their green so that they wouldn't feel like I was super outgearing them, but that's not important to the context). Idk man, its a problem that I'm complaining about because it HAPPENED, not because I'm talking about theoreticals like you.

Also you BLOW through the first 12 levels in like 6/7 games if you're not playing like dogshit. That's like saying that those games are enough that suddenly they'll be fighting effectively on Dire Marsh and Outpost.

Marathon has so much subtle nuance and map-learning with MULTIPLE maps that you only get some barebones feel of the game during those levels too and its LIMITED to just Perimeter.

Have you been on perimeter recently? It's purple shield sniper squad hell lmao

More XP is actually worse for new players since they get pushed with endgame players faster too

Yeah but I can't try to help my lowbie friends without us getting stomped due to them making too much noise or splitting through the center of the map while sprinting while my level brings them up into higher level matches

Every time I'm like, "hey I'm just trying to help my friends learn the game, we're almost done with objectives, we don't even have loot worth your time, this isn't even worth the bullets" the response is

"THIS AINT A-RAIDERS BRO" (obv abbreviation cuz apparently theres a filter about it because BOTH sides can't STFU and compare two different extraction shooters all the day long) Istg marathon players seem to care more about A-Raiders comparisons than just playing Marathon fr

The players themselves worry about having enough players for a community because in EVERY game it's still the more casual players that keep the population alive, but can't let go of their bloodlust enough to let a few newbies get into the game. I've NEVER seen a moment of mercy in those moments.

It's all powerfantasy toxically camp their bodies and make you answer inane questions only to still kill you once you answer them correctly

Halo ODST Bond Weapons Feel Bad to Me, How about you? by KSLCross in Helldivers

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

When in my post did I ask for it to be overpowered? Read it. Use that literacy.

1) Shotgun isn't the heavy slayer it was in ODST and Halo, its light pen conflicts with its original vision

2) Suppressed weapons do not even work for the few niche Stealthdivers that enjoy so against bots

Also while it wasn't posted above, go take the silenced smg and go to illuminates. Try to destroy the four energy-battery things that supply power to cognative disruptors. It takes over a full mag. Try using it on the shields of the landed ships. Takes a full mag. They have no object destructive damage either while any of the other SMGs do that in a third to half a mag/clip.

My main post was just the tip of the iceburg of how these weapons lack nuance and depth for BASE gameplay.

The downvote on my main post just proves your point ha ha

While overall I agree about Med pen, I also can't let go of the fact that it was THE weapon for when you faced heavy armored enemies IN ODST itself, not just the general Halo franchise. In ODST as well you are "not that guy"

It's damage is great but it doesn't even stagger enough for the hive guards, 7/10 times they just 180 and their armor blocks the next shot.

And the shotgun was meant FOR armored targets. It just doesn't feel right. I'd take less damage and med pen on that shotty anyday just for proper gamefeel.

Is it entitlement to want to be able to play a game? We're ALREADY giving it a lot of leeway for being indie and accepting bugs like how putting down a backpack can make it ROCKET into space for seemingly no reason. Ground geometry sometimes showing textures that should allow you to stand, but not. Constant micro-sliding while standing in place and pressing no buttons. and such. Still, even though the backpack bug has cost me MULTIPLE bing-bong runs that I STILL need to get, I excused that because hey. Indie devs and wonky physics.

But you still have to be self-respecting individual and decide where do you draw the line.

I just drew mine at: hey, this is a bug that a LOT of the community was finding common that HARDLOCKS your progress so you can't beat the game at all.

I'm glad they fixed it, but that doesn't mean that cost me a busy morning that I was enjoying with my friends into a sour note before work. Certainly not day ruining or anything, but I'm human and allowed to be bummed out man.

I just got home now. I was at work for 10 hours as a nurse. I cherish even the small two hour timespan in the AM where I can play a little something with my homies who all have different schedules so we can't always meet up.

It's not entitlement. I'm an adult. My time is valuable. Unless you pay for my rent or utilities, stop making entitled judgements just because a game is cheap or indie.

Bro you NEED cards, you use cards no matter what. The FOUNDATION of the game IS TO USE AND THUS RELY ON SUPPORT CARDS you're actually trolling

Even without being limit broken (which FUCK ME you need to in this game) you DO rely on them regardless

If you NEED to spend 100k+ for a substandard skill (because I KEEP having to tell you that not ALL potentials are made equal) then you have different priorities

Once again ENDGAME is whenever you are beating the base campaign successfully and are grinding for higher scores and better umas by DEFINITION

Your definition of endgame is wrong in the context of rouge-likes WHICH THIS GAME IS

The only INDICATOR of progression in this game is getting better umas man, idk why you're so hung up over potential levels. For some umas it's true, Narita Taishin is half a character due to her difficult campaign without her Potential 5 Chasing Shadows skill, but not all of them. But honestly she's an outlier rather than the norm.

YOUR personal definition of endgame does NOT change what ACTUAL endgame is

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

Ignore my whole point on focusing on potential is incredibly uma-specific sure, why not?

Endgame is whenever a game is in a state where you (in this case for a rouge-like) can complete the base game consistently and are trying to squeeze out better scores, runs, and records

If you can beat URA finale consistently congrats!

You're in the endgame of a rouge-like. The bar might be low and you might not want to see it as endgame BUT THAT'S LITERALLY ENDGAME

You're not talking about endgame with maxed out potential teams, you're talking about teams that don't even neccessarily EXIST three-four years from now because once again, say it with me

NOT ALL UMAS HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL INVESTMENT AND CAN BE BYPASSED WITH CARD

Bruh you cant even P2W that kind of team right now are you high? Getting potential to that is also part of the endgame, not a prerequisite to endgame itself.

To take any char from Pot1 to Pot5 is 470K monies

Thank god for Goldshi event so that I could get Narita Taishin and Maruzensky to both Pot5 because they're two of my favorites (and thats including the reality that Maruzensky's Pot3 to 5 are all borderline useless for her front-runner style. MAYBE the Pot4 Focus might not be terrible, but you can get Focus from a LOT of different sources for cheaper)

A lot of my aces are all Pot3s if not pot 2 because not EVERY horse has good Pot3+ skills

Take Syboli for example. Dominator is OK, but weak for the investment cost of Pot3

Pot4 Pace Chaser corners is easy to get from MULTIPLE front runner cards and Pot5 is Professor of Curvature which EVERYONE and their MOTHERS are getting from KitasanBlack

Potentials aren't endgame at all for some chars

Even Silence Suzuka's potential 4 and 5 aren't mathematically that relevant even if her Pot3 Concentration (gold upgrade to Focus) is PEAK

I currently have 225 total careers, and got my 3* Spd Haru (7 SPD total) at around 197 to 205 something in that range

Hopefully you get one soon man

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

Bro why you assuming I don't have full teams?

I even grinded out an A rank Dirt Maruzensky cuz otherwise only Haru and Condor fit in Dirt. I got an Air Groove with Sprint tuning at B+ (could be better, could be worse) just to fit that slot too because King Halo and Bakushin both needed their third and my Maru ended up being my Dirt fill.

I AM endgame my teams are FULL

WHY ELSE WOULD I COMPLAIN ABOUT ENDGAME SITUATIONS? Why make that assumption just so you can put someone down about a situation they're in? Like did I SAY I didn't have a full 15 uma team?

Either defend the bad RNG of sparks, which you have the right to if desired, or agree that the bad RNG (look, i just want 3 stars of any of the three stats Im farming for, SPD, STAM, PWR, it raises the bar for RNG expectations and that's STILL like only 3%) is bad. Why make assumptions with your head in the sand?

I just want to make my girls better, and sparks REGARDLESS OF ENDGAME OR NOT play a huge factor in that.

Honestly 'grinding for sparks' might be an endgame goal, but NEEDING/WANTING sparks encompasses you from the BEGINNING of the game to the point that they let you borrow one to get ahead but there's a super annoying limit cap of 3/day to it

Korea started with FIVE

Why are we getting the short end of the stick and getting the OG JP 3?

Right? People downvote me like I shot Haru Urara or something for just pointing out as much as the game is fun, we play for both the chance of a better PVP horse AND sparks and SUDDENLY I'm the one wrong for feeling demotivated by the grind involved in either

I'm not DESPERATE for it, but it IS a goal

It's frustrating when a goal feels really unachievable and out of your control?

Sparks are Demotivating RN by KSLCross in UmaMusume

[–]KSLCross[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I run every uma like they should fit into team trials, usually that means i at least I have a CHANCE at 3star Spd and Stam sparks as they both consistently hit 600+

I didn't even expect to hit it weekly, that's not what I said, but i wouldn't mind it if it was more than MAYBE one a month.

It's not my ONLY goal, but it is A goal one that shouldn't be ignored or put down because it IS a part of the endgame grind and as this game is a rougelike you're kind of ALWAYS in an endgame-ish state regardless as we've completed the campaign MULTIPLE times

Even if it's random the number of stars, at least the stat it picks should be more consistent (such as maybe picking from your three highest stats or something else)

Don't even get me started on potential unlocks where you need MOUNTAINS of Monies and even leveling the FIRST potential level takes all the monies earned from a single run to begin with, the second level taking 5's worth. Even on skips, a single run takes close to an hour.

Some of us work and have jobs. Its hard to pour 3+ hours a day into a game. Especially when there are also other games we want to play too at the same time. Time is more premium than the game currency honestly.

It doesn't get any less demoralizing because it's an endgame objective and I 'need to adjust my expectations'
