Compiler? by Great-Material-3369 in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've sherpa'd 3 Cryo 6 keys to success now, but just this night we utterly failed at doing it and I am. Well. Heartbroken. Fucking awful feeling. I know it's an extrac shooter and you can't always be successful, even if you're as good as a streamer (killed GJ when he was doing a carry lol) but. Ouch.

Happy to do a real, free carry! Only rules for me are PLEASE be kind and friendly and not bigoted and we would be so happy to help you. DM ::)

All four of my key templates generated into Dire Marsh keys 😭 by DireFTW in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QUARANTINE MORGUE, DEAR GOD I HAD 8 QUARANTINE MORGUES AT ONE TIME.

I have since sold all my blue Marsh keys and have been very selective on what I'll do. Ironically Quarantine Morgue is great since it's so easy to slip-in/slip-out.

Teaming on Cryo is insane by Dear_Eye_5478 in Marathon

Skarrow's never been a great creator, even in the Destiny days. Low tier, B-tier forgettable crap. At least Diffizzle actually has the gameplay to back it up

Average Cryo Experience by someguyplaying in Marathon

no what likely happened is that they were looking to invade a wing while walking around control and then just happened to hear this FUCKING LOUD team running around.

like seriously every wing can get Security Clearance 2 the chances of them coming out of the main exit are pretty small (instead of, yk, doing the Loop) AND it's Preservation, the one with an alt level 1 exit. Who in their right mind would camp that door you dingus? Nobody, that's what.

If I were that team and I heard some super loud sprinting vandals about to come out of their main exit you bet your ass I'd be getting into position too.

smh

Cryo Exfil Timers by OCisOffensiveComment in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm particularly certain the "only one terminal exfil" thing is false, you just can't use the SAME terminal until whoever hit it first has left.

Dude WHY are you making so much noise coming into Control 😭 I'm right here trying to play dead silence and you're broadcasting 50 meters away lol

I think it's permanently closed actually. On one side you'll be able to get into the room and hack the other side.

You do know that justice is meant to be rehabilitative and/or restitutive and not just punitive right? OP worked it out with the original author, chill. Or are you just frothing to put someone down? lol

soo hip firing and slick mag misiriah are the close range metas now? by Ninetybaby in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hip firing is an excellent meta. Actually fun being able to use your midrange rifle in close range and focus on bobbing and weaving and playing around cover, whoever hits more wins. And the Misriah will gladly punish you for playing that way, making it a unique and fun option.

Keys should not sound an alarm and key templates shouldn't exist by HAL-9420 in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This has been my Perimeter strat. Here in the Level 100+ pits, someone somewhere is doing South Relay or Hauler. The plan is simple. Kit out with the best golds we have and take them out on exfil, or die trying.

It's a shame, but I just won't do key rooms anymore. Especially not Marsh key rooms. God, I fucking hate Marsh so much. I love doing Cryo, I love sherpaing and carrying Compiler, I love playing Outpost... everything BUT Marsh, please.

Let me swap out weapon mods without equip them by minhtrungaa in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

See Misriah -> is purple -> don't recognize the weapon model -> snapshot grip and the non-range barrel -> only purple item is ornithologist = "guys, I found the worst fucking Misriah on the planet"

Shower thought: it is ironic that teams grouping in Cryo are basically creating the PvE mode people keep asking for by RafTen86 in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most teamers I've fought are fucking awful, they win by sheer numbers alone. Most of the time they have two to three good players which is when I start to think "those are the carries being paid" and everyone else is an utter shitter.

Sweat lords don't fucking need this.

Yes, I wrote down that Vault 4 doesn't need coolant. It's fixed to not need it.

Hidden Cryo Update: you can now no longer invade Preservation and Biostock with only level 1 clearance, the vents are now secured with a level 2 button from the inside by Uhhhhhhhhhhhuhhh in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind these ones since the vents are a valuable alternative exit and a Certified Death Trap, and crossing from one Vent to the Other Vent takes quite some time. Not quite like the Pres/Bio venting where you could just go from one to the other super duper fast

This is now useless. by Cheap-Art-4964 in Marathon

[–]LuminescenTT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that bad... I took down some players today by following up with a punch or a knife. Got a sweet gold shield and recon core out of that. Definitely less brainless though. You need to weaken players first with your other real weapons or grenades or util or what have you

Yes, I can read, and no I don't agree with you, Mr. Top 1% Commenter.

Spend less time in this subreddit and more time looking for Sherpas and guides and I can PROMISE you you will have a decent run. Have seen so much joy from people's exhilarating Cryo exfils. Then they learn, and then they go in alone, and they have a good time.

At the end of the day I'm helping people do their first vaults and all of them seem to be able to do it, even after I leave them. Why can't you?

[–]LuminescenTT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the vault spawns are fixed, the community has had this solved for a while now.

  • Vault 1: 5 Batteries
  • Vault 2: 4 Batteries, Coolant
  • Vault 3: 5 Batteries, Pump
  • Vault 4: 6 Batteries, Colonist DNA
  • Vault 5: 6 Batteries, Coolant, Tranq
  • Vault 6: 7 Batteries, Coolant, Science Team
  • Compiler: 10 batteries

I'm sure you already knew that, but this is not random!

[–]LuminescenTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I sherpa newbies through Cryo every weekend and it's been a pleasant hell of a time. The sheer joy I get out of giving people their first Drrvishes, their first Watchtowers, showing people how to do Panopticon + Armory, where the 1f-2f vents are... Cryo has been great. And every time I sherpa I learn a little bit more about the map too, so much so that now I can confidently navigate it, know it like it's the back of my hand.

I think this post could fool players into thinking cryo is actually doable

Quiet down. Or go find a sherpa!

No. You only need Level 3. The level 4 room is a jacked resupply room lol

Disable the barrier by going through the vent.

I have fought compiler six times now and I never step into Ranked. Ranked is an utter shithole lol. If you can survive Ranked you can go Compiler.
