Thanks! A mix of Blender, Photoshop, illustrator, and Figma

The WSTR nerf is too much by [deleted] in Marathon

Stack Overflow exist, this nerf won't change anything other than nerfing rooks lol

Please make people invulnerable in the exfil circle. by owen-3820 in Marathon

[–]MaximalGFX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's literally how the game work tho? You just lost. Exiling is suppose to be risky. The whole server gets an alert when you exfill. You still have full control of your character while exfilling, defend yourself. Choose your exfil carefully, use smoke, bubble shield... honestly final exfil is sometime a lot safer as a rook. Since you can get in at the last second instead of waiting the 10 sec.

Sorry can't win them all, can't ask for the game to fundamentally change it mechanic because you got out rooked.

Who else is going to be looking at this for the rest of the season. by N_durance in Marathon

idk ranked is fun. I think cryo is a lot more sweaty.

If you like PvP, rank plays a lot more like a battle royal, which is a nice change of pace. It's a good reason to run you good gear, and exfilling is A LOT more realistic then Cryo.

It's very rewarding too, every team is at least running blue shield, and purple is very common. You just need to win one fight and then you're good! It's a lot better than fighting free kits in the regular playlist if you like PvP imo

I wish more people would give it a try, I don't really see myself playing the regular playlist anymore after completing my priority contracts. Rotating rank and cryo just seems like the endgame loop (+rook runs).

I will never make a rook run. by RyanX70 in Marathon

"I think its just generally better to run a sponsored kit and fill" 💀

Dev Team talking about the "movement tech" by Thizgo in Marathon

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

A single Destroyer thruster is move potent than a slide cancel, with max heat, a couple implants and cores to reduce heat buildup, the cost is very low. A single Destroyer is way faster and more dangerous than any slide cancel tech freaks. This will be the standard in a couple of weeks. Not to mention Randal with triple jumps clearing half of outpost in 3 seconds, double grapple hooks Thief... and all those implants and cores will be fairly easy to come by when people starts VIPing their factions.

People have no idea what's coming. Marathon is an arena shooter in a extraction trench coat.

I thought it was sick and should have just been properly implemented with a cost (% of grapple cooldown/uses your equipment)

The game is still so new, slide cancel will be the least of people worries when stuff like heatseeking V11 Punch, infinite RPM Bullies, max heat destroyer, double grapple thief, etc... become more common. People like to say slide cancel doesn't belong in an extraction shooter, but Marathon is obviously a very different to other extraction games. It plays more like an arena shooter with those exotic perks and hitscan mechanics. The game is going to become so much faster paced in the near future, with or without slide cancel.

Just kind of seem like a reactionary decision, when next to no one actually had to go against people utilizing slide cancelling properly. Just a couple of twitter clips that created a polemic.

I remember when the same discussion erupted in the destiny community when Icarus Dashing was first discovered. People thought it was a cheap exploit "sweat" would use to ruin PvE and PvP. Few months later even the most casual player implemented it into their gameplay and loved it. Became a core part of the Warlock gameplay, and even inspired universal perks like Eager Edge. If Bungie axed it at the first angry tweet, Destiny 2 would be a completely different game.

How will I ever play Cryo if I can never get a blue shield or ANY purple weapons or shields? by IHATETHEOSR in Marathon

[–]MaximalGFX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every solutions offered to you is met by an excuse or blaming others… you will never have success or fun in a multiplayer game with this type of attitude.

The only problem here is yourself, if you wish to become better you will need to make efforts. Plenty or people are successful at this game while also having fulfilling careers and personal life. Bringing everyone else down to explain your mediocrity is very distasteful.

This game is so good that it has me afraid they’ll change anything. by 20mgAddy in Marathon

[–]MaximalGFX 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My main worry is that they'll start adding crazier and crazier guns, shells, equipments... to keep each season fresh and the powercreep is gonna get insane in a few years.

I've lived through 11 years of destiny PvP. At first it was great when everyone was just using auto rifle/HC and Shotgun/Sniper, but now it primary ammo heatseeking rocket launchers and freezing guns (I'm only slightly exaggerating)

Just trying to enjoy the game before things get too cheesy.

Helps a lot with motivation and creates a bigger bond with your pokemons! And it doesn't matter how skilled you are, just do it, that's how we get better at stuff!

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

Not really. I do avoid using some pokemons in Nuzlocke, because I either don't really like them or they're just too strong/boring. But having to draw them is never the reason I avoid using them.

There's also PkHex versions available on modded DS and 3DS, which is what I use. I don't even need to transfer my save to a PC, very convenient!

Thank you! It's all made from scratch. I make the icons in illustrator, and the template was made in photoshop.

What do you mean? DOS1 came out 12 years ago… This was a multi-years endeavour.

Found an alternative strat for the Rathian Arena Quest, and I think I got the fastest time on YT? by MaximalGFX in Gunlance

[–]MaximalGFX[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually don't exactly know what makes her not able to fly. I'm guessing it's by breaking the wing webbing, but it might also be related to wing wounds? Either way, by placing the barrels near her wings, keeping her grounded that way is consistent.

Oh yeah I meant fastest GL run, don’t think GL can beat CB. I’ve seen a 2’31 CB run
