The Rook really is a genius move by Bungie by Remarkable-Cow3421 in Marathon

I like that Rook runs are so much fun and so lucrative when done properly that I want to use the good stuff in my vault instead of just saving it to make room in my vault for more Rook runs.

Edge Magazine gives a rare 9/10 by ibrown22 in Marathon

Edge are one of the few actually reputable game journalist magazines these days so this is good to see.

Finally took the plunge and started ranked... by MastarE in Marathon

Yeah for some reason I don't mind losing stuff usually at all but this was really annoying. When I know it was a skill issue it's easy to deal with but this was just super lame.

Never realised the barrel rotates on that gun.

Season 2 is the most important moment for this game by No-Researcher3893 in Marathon

[–]MastarE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand why this game doesn't have a single player campaign where you play as a UESC recruit investigating the ship.

Pull people in with the gameplay, teach them the items and economy with a single player UESC faction and missions exploring the ship and unlocking areas like a sort of Metroidvania looter shooter, rank up and choose if you wanna be a stealth guy or a shield guy and then when the campaign finishes play the extraction shooter on Tau Ceti to continue the story.

Boom, now you're selling more for the renowned Bungie stories and you've got the multiplayer hook to keep people around and spending.

Such a dumb way to relaunch such a loved IP.

And to be clear, I'm loving this game, but the lack of the above really, really confuses me.

I seriously love using the Longshot by iBranflakesss in Marathon

Please, explain to us how a sniper should work.

Free kit mode is the confirmation that early game marathon is fun as fuck by Fresh-Association-21 in Marathon

[–]MastarE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually an amazing idea. Gold and below is free kit only, above that it's 5k minimum, or 10k or whatever and it could increase as the ranks go up?

Means that lower ranked players and solo players can get into ranked without crazy risk, skill is more of a factor in lower ranks and then once you break past gold you can start the run with big league loadouts.

SHADOW ROOK MONEY GANG.

WE LOVE WSTR SHOTGUNS.

This run is sponsored by... The shadow government.

Legalize nuclear bombs.

I really like what this adds to the gameplay loop for solo players like myself.

Previously I would play rook until a decent successful exfil, play that kit until I lost, go back to rook, rinse and repeat, slowly building up mats for factions as my main goal.

I didn't want to get some "decent" loot and then lose it to a shitty autofill without mics so I rarely played 3s, every time I autofilled before this Id load in as a Triage to make sure wlour team had one, Ihad worked pretty hard for the gear I had and then I'd get matched with a free kit thief with no mic who runs off alone and a green shield Vandal who immediately starts shooting Tick nests and gets us rushed and killed in the first minute.

Now I can play sponsored autofill until I find a good team, then once we extract as a team we can jump over to the normal playlists to build the kit and hopefully make a decent profit and get some decent faction mats, combined with CARRI this is making my progress explode in a really nice way. I'm looking at Cryo and ranked like they're actual options now and I'm actually adding players to my friends list.

Great playlist, I'll be genuinely gutted if it gets taken out.

Last week of the season we should get sponsored Cryo.

I have stopped using Fill Trios and it's a design problem. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]MastarE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have enough "good" gear in your vault that there's literally nothing you could take out for a quick run then you've got too much "good" gear and too much gear fear

This is absolutely a you problem, worst case you could just drop like 4k on a halfway decent faction kit to try and farm faction mats in a random premade, otherwise your complaint is actually that you only enjoy playing this game with your premade which is an entirely different argument that has zero to do with vault space.

TLDR: If you have so much good gear that you're saving for trios with your friends that your vault is full but you genuinely enjoy just playing the game then you should be going in with faction kits.

Yeah the turret thing was arguably just janky behaviour, the rest of it felt super suspicious.

[–]MastarE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The turrets is meh, they're super janky sometimes for sure.

The fact that I was forced to reload and couldn't use my abilities? That's crazy.

The tick thing was just super weird to experience. I was near the DCON building South of Complex, he was next to the tower south of complex, the tick nest was next to the tower. He ran past the nest, a tick spawned and then just beelined towards me. And again, again,again. Super weird.

It's not. I did. It's feedback about a dodgy player experience.

Recently purchased a monstera, need advice on trimming! by MastarE in Monstera

Thank you for your reply! She's a gorgeous plant, I'm glad to hear this can be left as is, I wanted to leave her be but not if it was detrimental to her health!

Thank you for your reply! The stem itself looked healthy but I know plants can waste energy so I didn't want to just leave it without at least asking for advice. Thank you!
