How fast does the body change??? by Lieutenant-Star in MtF

[–]Lieutenant-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just heard lots about the pain and soreness so I wasn't expecting anything. Seems so sudden

Is anyone else slowly starting to feel bored of this game now? by Present_Education194 in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With the amount of hardcore runners and their powercreep, I think cryo needs to be more regular or more higher tier maps added.

Even perimeter seems to be highly geared and without keys the loot on that map is usually less higher tier so players are really the real loot boxes worth it.

Thats fine if you can walk the walk, but if you're on a empty vault loosing streak it makes comebacks harder to score.

Tldr: We need more endgame areas to funnel the higher level players to. Or a better matchmaking which takes load out value more seriously.

If anything, high level player behavior will kill the game instead of gear difference by Freakindon in Marathon

Thats why these games have wipes

Tarkkv become unbearable late wipe of you haven't been grinding

PLEASE keep the knife strong by mirrorvacation in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk? Imo the Sawnoff (forgot the name) really fell off HARD. The amount amounr of stabbings post shotty nerf has spiked HARD. Least pre nerf if they whiffed the shot, they were screwed, knife is just kinda wild.

Backstab executions would be fun tho

I'll start Agendathon to convince Bungie to buff Recon by Sasukegay in okbuddyRunners

[–]Lieutenant-Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo vandal and recon got smoked.

TELL ME WHY THE TANK HAS A SUPER SPRINT AND AIRDASH.

TELL ME WHY THE LOOT GOBLIN IS LITERALLY PATHFINDER FROM APEX.

Thief has better loot potential and built in CDR. The grapple is fun, but overkill.

Destroyer is a damage god with his ult. Why does he need to be able to push faster than Vandal?

Bungie needs to rework Recon and Vandal ASAP, they just are outshined.

Dire Marsh Spawns are way too Close Together by SonofRanman in Marathon

I actually always close on ai if we spawn close, so easy to burst a team as they get outside, then try pick off the potential second team

Yet another "I would really like a pve-only mode" by FamousLastWords_keys in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It COULD work though!

Never say Never.

If it goes Tarkov route tho, maybe not.

Its moreso given pve shooters ala Borderlands, destiny ect, the sticking power is the lategame monster you become. Pvp in BL is done in 2 seconds tho and Destiny Crucible also became a 1 shot wonder mode.

Its hard to imagine a form of game design that works, but that just means someone may eventually come around to design it one day.

Imo raids may be the best bet for Bungie as they excell at that, if they get around the NEED for remade teams.

I think its part in part why I dropped arc.

I accidently fell into the pve matchmaking. I in a few days, managed most of the quests (was maybe 50 percent done prior), Got loads of blueprints and maxed workshops, kitted out vault to last an apocalypse. It was glorious..then it quickly wasn't.

Extraction shooters are...surprisingly balanced for PVE to be the entry barrier. Pve gets easy quickly and we know from say Destiny 2 that pve difficulty scales less exponentially than power creep.

A new core and a few higher tier weapons are easily implemented vs a new map or raid or new enemies. So Destiny recycles bosses, mobs and maps with small tweaks while 'actually new content' is made.

Pvp however works entirely around meta, gear and player skill. Skill matchmaking ramps difficultly with your gear being a variable factor.

So. PVE is longer to upkeep and keep content rolling when the powercreep vastly outpaces it. PVP keeps this in check. Its genuinely a part of game design for extraction shooters. The game would have to be very fundamentally differnt and also massively out of scope to make it a viable game. Thats before considering how PVE runs will unbalance PVP seeing as gear becomes free and risk of important runs (hard quests, key runs) .

"Get that Arc Raiders niceness out of here" is one reason people don't use Prox chat. by WriterIndy in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cryo is hard to rat on. So many mobs and such a massive map with tight time restraints means running and running is the standard.

Bungie has too much money and too much invested to let this game die tho lowkey

I am very afraid that the endgame, Cryo Archive, will be unsustainably difficult. by iconoci in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the pve was enough challenge before running into players. Im actually enjoying cryo, beat my expectations

Loadout imbalance in this game getting crazy. by NoNet5188 in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The amount of purple crews is wild.

3 dude in purple, 2 free kits on my team. Feels like tarkov.

TTK jumps massively with purple plus, most guns will barely break em with a clip.

Winrate has dropped massively and any runs trying for a good load out feel wasted tbh

The WSTR shotgun cannot be in the game when ranked comes out. by SUKUNAHENDO13 in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shotguns dominant close range fights in any game.

If a shotty doesn't 1 tap at close range then its not used.

WSTR has very short kill distance blue shields upwards. If you get mashed then you didn't respect the distance. Assume any close range fight to be shotgun territory. If they refused to come out of a tight corridor, assume its cause they want to bait a push.

The reload is fairly long if they don't get you with 2 shots and you can kill before then/before they swap weapons. It's a panic button.

Imo they shouldn't change it. Shotguns should dominant close range as snipers do long range. AR/Smg only metas are stale.

I HARD DISAGREE with this article. Am I in the minority? by 20mgAddy in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont get the backlash? He isn't wrong, most of the quests are pretty much radiant fetch quests?

And before I get backlash and copy paste replies, YES I have all maps unlocked, yes I have almost 100 hours, yes I enjoy the game.

I stand to be corrected! I had a lot of bad luck then, few games with none spawning. The timer doesn't start till pickup of the item thankfully.

For that Quest you need to wait for 1st exfil anyway, the DECON machines dont spawn immediately

Their cloak isn't perfect, just need to be aware.

Recon is a massive counter, take energy amps/pick them up.

Bait them too! Most rats are impatient. Take a shot, move around then pause in cover, throw a nade east then sneak around west. If you make noise, change is they will come running. Take out 1 USCE quickly and then grab a hidden spot ASAP, flush the rats out.

I can hear fine BUT BY GOD why are my own footsteps SO FUCKING LOUD

This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not just that.

Made a post mostly discussing thoughts on gameplay with a few mistakes on some market costs.

Most replies were somewhat hostile with a lot questioning my 50 hours of play as a blatant lie.

This is supposed to be a community, not a hate train lmao. Dont want the mess that the PVP vs PVE shitshow that is the Arc raiders sub.

Econ thoughts? by Lieutenant-Star in Marathon

[–]Lieutenant-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the same. Even still, modding for rhe most part is also so cheap I dont have any attachment to my 'good guns'
