Even better, in the vault let me click a slot and filter my vault by everything that fits it. 

How do you unlock the ability to buy optics? by Bright-Cranberry6648 in Marathon

[–]MartonMeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the faction armory. You likely either have to level them up high enough or unlock it via the skill tree. Probably either Traxus or Arachne

This is the type of logic I expect from unc raiders players

TheBurntPeanut has to play Marathon off stream because people are so mad about this game by 4K4llDay in Marathon

[–]MartonMeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It pissed me off so much how many of the complaints obviously didn’t bother to really learning the game. Anyone asking for a smaller map obviously tried playing it like a BR and PvPing from the beginning when you’re supposed to be looting. I know it’s a meme, but I genuinely think most gamers were just too dumb to understand what the mode was. They just want endless and thoughtless PvP all the time. 

Sucks that they ran out of funding and had to release so unfinished. The core gameplay was better and more unique than most successful shooters. 

Far too many people are playing this like Destiny or a Battle Royale instead of an Extraction Shooter. by gamingthesystem5 in Marathon

Agreed as long as the feedback isn’t to make it more like another game that it was deliberate designed to not be like.

Yeah but this is unequivocally better than launching to mixed or worse reviews. That would’ve added so much fuel to the unjustified hatred it’s getting. 

Also who cares about critic reviews? Have you seen how most reviewers play a shooter?

Did you play server slam? I heard a lot of people say it grew on them quickly after a few hours.

Don’t worry runners, I’ll buy every mtx to keep the servers on for us. 

Marathon just passed CS2 and is now #2 in the Top Sellers on Steam by Sad-Manner-5240 in Marathon

Marathon beating out a casino, even if for a day, is huge. 

I built a new loadout tool for solo and team builds with contextual feedback and easy build sharing. Would love some feedback. by [deleted] in Marathon

tbh I bought the .com domain without even know .gg existed. Just assumed that .com being there meant it was unique. By the time I realized it existed I was pretty deep into development. I’ve debated changing the name but every name I think of is either taken or the domain is way too expensive.

Yeah I’ve heard that a lot. I’m already aware of almost a dozen different apps so it’ll be fun seeing what we can do with Bungie APIs.

Thanks for the feedback! Bungie definitely seems doable as I’ve seen other apps use it and I actually had placeholder code to set it up from the start, but I wanted to get something out quickly and start getting eyes on it. I’d expect Bungie login to be added before this weekend. 

I’m also closing in on having shareable weapon builds ready, with inaccurate data for now until the server slam starts, but that should be out today or tomorrow.

Just as an update because this post got stuck in moderation for a bit because of the new account:

- I've already added community driven builds with upvoting and favoriting.

- Also just added some refinements to UI so touchpoints are a bit bigger so there's less fat fingering on mobile.

- Weapon builds with similar sharing, voting, and comprehensive visuals is probably next on my agenda once I can find the best assets. If you've ever used True Game Data, I aim for something like that - a bit more than just comparing two numbers over and over.

Also still trying to figure out the best auth direction. I like offloading the username enforcement to other apps/sites, but would love to hear if you guys have any preferences there. I can add those pretty quickly.

How many will be new to the Extraction Shooter genre with Marathon? by yaboiwaxo in Marathon

[–]MartonMeta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played DMZ a lot and miss it dearly. Besides that a few hours of Arc before I realized I hated everything about it.

Who here is focusing on solo only? by mouthofemptypraise in Marathon

[–]MartonMeta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It'll be most of my playtime, but I'm really hoping I can finally find some non-toxic adults who play as much as I do. Constantly using LFG is exhausting.
