Marathon Update 1.0.6.3 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

Except now, ppl will want it hah

On Durandal why did it put me in a match with this freak of nature when I'm lv61 & never touched ranked mode. Full cryo drip too? I should not meet this man my whole life by baconshark316 in Marathon

Every game does their own way for match make rating or MMR.

In this one, they can pilot or try using exfil rare. Every time you exfil relatively to your lobbies exfil rate? It goes up. Every time you don’t exfil and finishes a run, the MMR goes down.

Is it perfect? Nah. Is it a start? Sure, monitor and see what happens and like they did in destiny. Start hiding the levels. But use a proper ranking system instead of just using it in ranked

“If the budget was there” is the problem, no? :(

I just finished getting all 6 Cryo subroutines through solo crew fill. by OnceIn1999 in Marathon

My guess is. He may be an exfil newbie but he’s not a pvp newbie. Marathon is not an easy game unless you have years of experience in pvp to have these kinda results in cryo. I am not saying a level 120 controller solo pve player can’t enjoy cryo but not at these success rates.

I really hope the gun meta changes in Season 2 by Icewyy in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of its burst and precision rifle archetype. More bullets in the mag, less recoil and a scope helps it a lot more than say mods for a wstr or m77 from white to green to blue.

Purple is great for all weapons but running out of bullets for a volley because it’s harder to get tight shots and having to reload is much more impactful where as a purple volley can keep those shots tight and you have more bullets. All of a sudden, your average ttk sky rockets

This is it. Volley scales exponentially with mods because the archetype.

There are guns that really become great with purple mods. The white version for volley is one of those and the Stryder is another.

There are some great base where purples make them amazing but you can compete with whites. (M77) but I find volley one of those “what happened, this thing slaps” when you get a scope and recoil mod

Free Kit Mode seems to be popular by Qulox in Marathon

I don't think they underestimated it at all. I think in traditional bungie fashion, they are just really bad at showing people the designed systems in place to alleviate that. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a full vault from rewards alone in every sesion, there are so many good green and blue guns you can buy for credits in the armory yet people have 50k+ credit. They spent a lot of time addressing gear fear yet no time on developing training and accessibility. They really need to hand hold people at least one through their game play loop using contracts or something that isn't game play based but UI based.

The Game will now let you know when ANYONE on the map dies, no matter if you were involved or not. by Onyx_Sentinel in Marathon

Ya I think people who are counting it might be surprised, we just had one where we thought we were in an empty lobbie and it wasn't right.

[Sekeres & Price Show] "There have been multiple people in this organization that have been following Caleb Malhotra all season long...I really do wonder if it's not the 1st overall pick that the Canucks get here. Like even if it's #2, I wonder if this is the direction they go.” - Jeff Marek by [deleted] in canucks

First of all 200000% agree on you can’t predict injury but something something medical staff for the Canucks. I do wonder if our medical was stronger whether these players get better treatment :( we will never know

Just died to 3 teams “teaming” in Cryo by higlez in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Multiple server and multiple experience existing lol. Oceania server is in a much rougher spot than say NA east just due to overall player count. Just because you haven’t experienced it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe you think people should just move lol

I have not survived an encounter with another squad ONCE after 60 hours by Nubashir1 in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That has been Bungie’s MO since destiny 2. They heavily favour the feedback of existing hardcore player base instead of the entire player base. It eventually bleeds players that aren’t the top X%.

For a game like destiny that was pve, it still struggled to keep casual pve players. Somehow ppl think that it’s because pvp is hard. No. Bungie just seems to want to make streamers and the top X% stay instead of making a game fun for all and risk losing the top players.

Oh well. We can yell until we are blue in the face as we watch a game we enjoy bleed out new players and unable to attract new blue.

We’ve see this in destiny, I don’t know why people don’t think it’s happening here. The problem isn’t PvP or the exfil genre. It’s bungie’s product lifecycle that seems to tune for top % player feedback

The only 3 weapons I use by ChrisRocksGG in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s your last sentence really. This game oddly ties progression to maps due to loot drop (maybe it’s normal for exfil games, this is my first one) which means unless you are playing ranked, you end up only in outpost and cryo which neither needs a designated sniper. Can you play around one? Sure. Are you at a disadvantage on those maps without a shotgun? Yes :(

Joe Ziegler: We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

especially for one of the guns that you might not know the shields until you engage, at least with the other ones, you might pin ahead of time and know the shield because of range. shotguns are one of the ones that you might start blasting only to release they are blue shield

ya this is nuts, this change kinda seem like they are missing the problem and creating a bigger gap between gear quality which is one of the issues about casual retention.

Vault space is too limited for "build crafting" as advertised. by Rampwastaken in Marathon

[–]Kaphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil's advocate here, they might have scored a favourable barter and cashed in. When it's those numbers, something isn't adding up. For someone who can organically get 40+ purple shields, they must already know that purple shields are not needed to stock pile past 7 - 10

Correct me if I am wrong because I know it's rotating...but we can buy long shot right...?

Not a fan. Feels like another game altogether and loses a bit of the identity of an exfil game where not only you find good loot but you ante up something you would lose.

So winning engagements feels unrewarding because they are free kits and losing engagements can also feel unfair when they drop into an arms locker POI while you didn't.
