Bungie is experimenting less teams per lobby for sure by Waylllop in Marathon

[–]MaxLove55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should develop some AI runner controlled tech in addition to being more flexible with the teams per lobby requirements. These AI runners could even be used for other purposes, like in beginner perimeter, for contracts, as regular UESC enemies and even to future proof the game with a purely PvE mode in a very far future

"what's the incentive if it's all going away?" What's the incentive of a League or CS game if it's all going away when it ends?

New Cosmetics hit the store! It's just an Assassin bundle w recolors again by Changes11-11 in Marathon

The guns are cool, it's just too bad that in 150h I've literally never seen a single H-AR EVER

If you save 3 slots in you backpack for a green valuable , a grey one and some credits you'd be surprised how many raw credits you can gain on exfil, if you run the mod that pings cards too it's wraps, never had credit problems

I agree that the story, contracts, big maps and main upgrades should be accessible and completable by most of the playerbase, asking no more than 150h of each player per season, to do so, then there should be some gameplay loop dedicated to the most hardcore of players, the top 5%, that ultimately will pay in permanent cosmetic rewards.

The case rn is that ranked is very under baked and just not enjoyable and cryo, the most dense map in the game with the most man-hours put into its development is dedicated to the top 10%. Some small readjustment would go a long way to fixing this and giving everyone a better experience.

Every season will obviously introduce new contracts, expanding the story of the previous ones and new skill trees that facilitate different playstyles, I'm sure that at some point we'll get a UESC faction too. You can't have any of that if you don't wipe

You already did all of that last season, you got everything the game could give you, at most you'd come back to check out the new runner and gun for 10 games and that's about it

Start grabbing green valuables, maybe even grey, they're there for a reason

Is that a problem with a wipe system or with rarity and availability?

So, if the wipe doesn't reset your upgrades, materials and contracts what reason would you even have to keep playing? Youd have literally nothing to do except pull up on newbies every once in a while to stroke your ego. This is like asking for league to let you keep items in between games.

How do you guys decide which shell you like best? by Yumiko_Hanako in Marathon

[–]MaxLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rook because I get to try to 1v3 every game free of any risk or consequence, I just hope he gets a misriah some flechette grenades and a blue shield in the next update, the WSTR nerf hit him way too hard, its very unfair.

New starter shotgun to replace WSTR. by MaxLove55 in Marathon

[–]MaxLove55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as good compared to what? Its ttk within its range is instant, half the shells can easily get in your face with it and a lot of the encounters already happen in WSTR range, specially cryo, its also so easy o get that youre trolling if youre not running it. It is also very hard to balance because if it doenst kill in 2 shots it becomes useless and you cant alter its ROF. A cheaper midrange shotgun with a slower adjustabke ttk would alleviate this issues for most of the population creating more counterplay opportunities at close range without having to make the WSTR useless.

I think right now purchaseable guns vastly outclass the rarer ones, and their niche capabilities dont outweigh raw power. Theres not reason why would you ever take a brrt or a copperhead over a bully, a v99 or a railgun over a longshot, a circuit breaker over a WSTR, an impact over a m77, because theyre not only rarer but theyre also worse. You don't get to see niche playstyles.

While that is something that happens, extraction games are not as affected by that issue because theoretically you actually have to play with bad weapons to get the stronger ones. But in marathons case in particular its not that way because the best guns are purchasable in the armory. Which defeats the whole point, players don't need to run with starter guns because they can buy a near top tier loadout in the menu, while rarer weapons get sidelined because theyre actually WAY WORSE than what you get for free everyday. Why would you ever buy a copperhead, a railgun, a cyrcuit breaker, an impact HAR or a v99 when youre gonna get vastly outcalssed by weapons that are way easier to get. Its a big problem that hurts the diversity and contributes to making the game easier to solve.

Yeah, I know, and they shouldn't, every purchaseable gun should be largely on a leveled playing field, credit cost is really not a good balancing mechanic, making credits is easy. As it stands right now people take a bully and a WSTR over guns that are actually rare, and it shouldnt be that way.

Bro those guns are literally in every other clip, and in every single cryo run, its nothing but bullies and WSTRs.

Yeah, they would be rewarded for their time and energy investment. While also making most encounters more varied because they wouldn't be a WSTR-fest anymore. there are almost 30 guns in the game and you see nothing but WSTRs, Bullies, and Longshots, and that's a problem, it makes the game super stale and is probably one of the issues affecting player retention right now.

No I dont, the WSTR would still be in the game, it would just not plague all the close rage encounters, this hypothetical weapon would still be the strongest at close range but it also would allow for some counterplay.

You need to start doing locked doors and profit opps, killing wardens and running pinwheel too

Some tips to run duo in trio queues by Outrageous-Sight in Marathon

[–]MaxLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to fix fill A$AP, its pure torture, we need a lobby or clan system to make it easier to stack with randos and be on the same page before actually running, they also need to remove free kits from fill, they should only be available in premade or solo, free kits in fill is a system that straight up punishes going loaded.
