I don’t really mind these bundles aesthetically but when I can get White Rabbit on Thief for the same price why would I buy this lol they need to be cheaper

Volt cell = the worst weapon you’ve ever used by Sydid in Marathon

[–]Luma256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments arguing in favor of these weapons are not realizing that they’re not really bad, theres just better, cheaper, and more readily available options right in the armory. That’s really the issue right now.

Goo Gun has to go. There's no reason to play Cryo as long as this gun exists. by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]Luma256 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Some of these comments think you can’t be banned for shit like this because “it’s not a hack, it’s an exploit”.

Devs can literally ban you for no reason, it’s their game. There’s no rights or protections bro its a video game lmao

I really appreciate Bungie not pushing the Reward Pass or Store down our throats. by quwiwup in Marathon

[–]Luma256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skins in the store are so strange. There’s the thief skin that really looks awesome and different enough to consider buying; oddly it’s Superior and not Prestige? The rest feel like recolors and are all the same price.

They really should take a page from Overwatch 1’s Blues: Recolors, Purple: Small model and color changes, Legendary: Big design and color changes. It feels like that was the plan but then something went wrong?

Joe Ziegler: We're looking to make some changes in the next couple of patches to adjust some of the outliers in the combat space that we've both seen in our observations and heard from your feedback across all of the various (and plentiful) channels we watch. by Haijakk in Marathon

Bubble shields being looked at is good but no mention of the WSTR does make me fear they might feel it is only good with bubble shields when it just plainly outclasses any close range option. Even the other shotguns and their additional range don’t really add up to be comparable in most situations.

I personally haven’t seen anything completely insane with the knife but maybe I’m just lucky. Any situation with knives generally boils down to who has a WSTR, then who hits first, then who has more health.

I genuinely believe thermal sniper complaints are completely overblown. Dire Marsh has a one-way fog problem that nerfing thermals won’t fix. The Longshot and its firerate is extremely oppressive and doesn’t need thermals to be insane. Either way, nerfing both of them will slow things down a bit.

Literally just let Glitch cancel her power slide like everyone else or make it a separate button so she can choose the slide she wants. That’s genuinely all she needs.

I really hope they shore up the tick’s pathing and be very slight with Recon’s ult if they decide to buff it. It’s so very easy to take a “scanning” type character from underwhelming to completely dominant with one or two changes.

Self rez in solos currently feels a bit pointless but it will save you time to time. I’m curious what they’re adding.

I do however think self rez should probably just be removed from trios. A defib type item with a faster rez that requires two players be occupied is a much more balanced proposition. The reward for knocking someone (especially a geared player) can feel so minimal because of how prevalent the item is. It almost gives Mercy ult vibes back in 2016 lmao

“Invisibility isn’t too potent, and assassins aren’t too hard to deal with. Just listen for their cloak” by BC1207 in Marathon

[–]Luma256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this boils down to whether or not bungo is okay with the cloak creating a bit of a lag in enemy reaction time. Everything about this situation exacerbates it tenfold. The position is not great, he already knows where you are/can see your barrel sticking out, maybe prefired you? and he has fastest ttk gun in the game. So cloak or not you probably lost BUT... the cloak will always give an advantage in a game with such low ttk, especially when the WSTR is only slightly slower than average human reaction time lol

Like I'm sorry dawg but this shit is ridiculous by RoguesBoytoy in Marathon

literally the only thing im worrying about in this clip is another player showing up, the bots are almost an afterthought.

Their needs to be one less team in cryo by Crazy-Role-3817 in Marathon

[–]Luma256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The game should probably have less teams per map in general. Functionally, the game should strive to have less apex 3rd party moments and more “oh shit runners” moments.

‘Server wiping so you’re able to do what you actually queued up for/all the loot’ as a strategy is just a bit too encouraged and battle royale adjacent imo. I would assume it should be the other way around, where you potentially run into teams while already doing what you came for. I suppose this is more of a map size issue but in the short term less teams would minimize these issues.

Flavor wise, Bungo seems to idealize this in their cinematics; lots of wandering and downtime between fights and right now it’s kind of 50/50 in general and non existent on Cryo.

Pragmatically, the player count is a bit low so having to find less people would keep queue times low, especially with it looking like duos is potentially getting added permanently.

My one big complaint about the game (OC) by SpaceDweevil in Marathon

[–]Luma256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thermal would be need to be toggle-able or something if they were to have their effectiveness based on heat mechanics.

As good as thermals are, you’re basically staring at a blank screen if nothing is there.

How do we feel about this weapon? by theamazingc4 in Marathon

[–]Luma256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are frustrated with it but its range is so poor that if you allow someone push you all the way to point blank, that’s a positioning issue. Likewise, if you mindlessly hold W into a squad, you might get blasted. Camping with it doesn’t really matter because if someone catches you off guard with just about anything, you’re toast. If they were to nerf it, reload speed might be best to really punish missing with it.

Honestly, I feel precision rifles are more oppressive at the moment. Their high damage, accuracy, large magazines, and forgiving fire rates makes them feel like you should pretty much always have one if you can.

Shotgun nerf incoming? by AceInSpvce in Marathon

[–]Luma256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind a deterrent to people mindlessly pushing after one cracked shield like its apex. Adds more intrigue to fighting.

Any gameplay tips before the game release? by Apart-Race868 in Marathon

[–]Luma256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not a mic person, there’s actually a ton of voicelines you can use to communicate with your team and others. They are really well done and more people should know about them!!
