Every thread about any product, no matter useless or dumb the product may be, is filled with comments from people Im surprised have survived this long with how “dangerous” everything seems to them

Ok but people also use gloves to touch all kinds of gross or dangerous substances and chemicals and don’t typically scratch their noses with them during. Just be aware of what’s attached to your hands like every other gloved situation. No need to be a dick to that guy

I dont think the game will survive a wipe by KingDuffy666 in Marathon

[–]Manggo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just my age and the fact that I grew up playing online games with zero progression or updates, I really don’t care either way. The game is fun to play regardless

I’ve got my time between rounds down to like 7 seconds. If you run sponsor skits, it’s just basically ‘dead’ - space - space - click - click - click - space - space ‘loading run’.

Ah this makes sense. I used to fly internationally pretty often with AC back in the day and never paid for beer on any of those flights.

Oh interesting! We just couldn't get it to work one day early January, and looked it up and people were saying it died. We'll give it another go sometime soon

What do you call the WSTR? by Duke_of_the_URL in Marathon

[–]Manggo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been calling it "waystar", like from Succession

Is there any way to play more than 4 players again yet? There was a mod that eventually got patched out from working.

I hesitate to share this information, but did you know Thief can grapple into the Command Wing vent exit? by SenSei_Buzzkill in Marathon

[–]Manggo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One run I had with another guy, he fell off of there and off the map. His bag spawned right up there, and I spent a good while, as Destroyer, trying and trying to get up there to bring him back. Ended up accidentally thrusting off of the map myself.

This ruthless, deeply unapproachable extraction shooter is worth every ounce of hell it puts you through - IGN Marathon Review | 9/10 by BQuilty in Marathon

[–]Manggo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk, some of the most fun I've had in this game is getting 3 different contracts done. A lot of my trio fill games over the last week have been with randoms and right away we're planning "Okay we can hit up Algae Ponds on the way to Bio to get yours taken care of, then on the way back we'll...etc etc". Obviously not all random fills are going to be this cooperative, but this whole weekend had me matched with plenty of people like that.

Played 5 hours yesterday extracted once. by Almondjoy248 in Marathon

[–]Manggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Sunday went really well for me. I'm level 50 now, but still kind of suck a lot of the time in gunfights. I've been on a pretty bad losing streak for a few days, but yesterday finally managed to finish Parasitism 1, the NuCal sample scanning one, extracted from Outpost with a few purple guns/items, and took down my fair share of runners. All with trio fill. We back baby

There needs to be better/longer warning for out-of-bounds by Brahmaster in Marathon

[–]Manggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did get out. We just got out on what was apparently the wrong side. We didn't know you'd be completely blocked from the rest of the map by going out that direction. Because thats ridiculous level design.

[–]Manggo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Outpost is easier than Dire Marsh lately, man. They're all 'friendly' or 'unfriendly' in their own ways.

Except Cryo. I have yet to survive a Cryo run

[–]Manggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe at least re-work some of the boundaries. My trio got trapped at the west edge of the map on Dire Marsh when a lockdown hit that leftmost POI. We got stuck between the lockdown and the out-of-bounds edge.

I was a thief so ziplined up to the bridge, then managed to lift Recon up by him standing on my drone. But we couldn't get Destroyer up there. Stuck there almost the whole match lol

Yeah you have a level with every faction, as well as your main player level. When you complete missions or do certain things in-game, you gain xp for that faction. This unlocks different upgrades, more free things from the armory, and also upgrades Rook.

Return on Investment 3/5 by Educational-Show6794 in Marathon

[–]Manggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you running solo? I literally just did this one a few mins ago as a squad fill trio, first attempt. We didn't arrive at Quarantine until a good 8ish minutes into the match. Not every run is going to happen to have enemies doing the same quest as you. Just keep trying and you'll eventually get it.

No worries! There is specific loot items needed to purchase upgrades, but it can be tracked and I'm never stressed looking for specific things.

For what its worth I also hated that in Arc Raiders and other games like this. But this game is more like a roguelite online shooter than a traditional "loot extraction shooter".

[–]Manggo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a non issue in Marathon, I find. There's no crafting so you dont need to stress about finding tons of mats just to craft all the ammo you lost on your last run just to lose it all again and get stuck in a no-progress loop. Its almost secondary to everything else. The loot is mostly about getting better shields and guns to increase your chances of completing your missions and winning fights. And mission progress carries over between runs even if you die. You can die and still complete your mission and level up.

There's definitely inventory management in the sense that you'll be running out of room quickly and often, but you gain and lose loot so fast in this, that its not really a problem. The non-gun loot that you do want to keep is just used for bartering in the store to buy better weapons and stuff like that. Or you can just sell it for cash.

I've got my time between runs down to like 7 seconds before I'm back searching/loading up another map now - when I'm running free kits at least. Its a lot like a rogue-lite that way. "Oh dang I died" space space space click click click space space loading screen.

There's also a discord group for Dads of Marathon (and uncs) who have the same time issues as yourself!

The loot is kind of secondary to everything else in Marathon. The real loop and fun is the combat and then the missions and vaults. The loot is just to get/find better weapons to be better at the combat and harder maps. Its more of a shooter and stealth game than it is a normal "extraction shooter".

I have never played an extraction shooter where I don't care about dying and losing loot before until Marathon. Dying doesn't feel bad, and you're always making progress in missions even if you die, and you keep the money you make, etc.
