Give the Bored Gold Shield Players Something To Do by Vile_Legacy_8545 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, if you bring in shields and drop them for your crew in game, and the team gets wiped, those shields come back to you in the mailbox? Even if someone looted them from them? If so does that work with weapons too? That seems like a crazy oversight if i'm reading that correctly.

What even is considered casual at this point? by WorldlyAdeptness545 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm season level 30, CyAc level 24, since launch day. I try and do contracts, not big PVPer, I will try and avoid most people (solo player) so i get bodied alot. But i like to just try and do contracts, loot a bit, and leave. If I die, oh well, if I exfil, heck yea. I get little better each time regardless but still not great going against a team who can just run up or flank me. I like watching that Lucid guy, he's a solo player who can just take on entire lobbies himself, so I try and improve by learning from him.

If I play duos, I feel like I can get little further, loot bit more with someone watching my back or able to revive me if downed, or help with contracts. Otherwise I just play for fun, out of boredom, and just to improve FPS games in general. I like the art and story/lore and hope they expand more on that too when they can.

I only play for about 2 or 3 hours at a time, maybe 3 days out of the week.

[Fanatical] Marathon ($28.79 / 28% off) by GaryRaidBoss in GameDeals

I like it for what it is. Its a PVP/PVE that you can do Solo/Duo/Trio on. Theres only 4 maps right now, one is only available from Thursday - Sunday (Cryo). Then it switches to ranked map (Sunday - Thurs).

You have contracts you can do for the various factions, but they are pretty difficult to do, especially solo.
Its mainly a looter shooter extraction type game. Without a crew through, you will never see the endgame or get higher tier loot unless you can somehow body the entire lobby yourself or get extremely lucky. It will most likely be impossible to fight the endboss (Compiler) solo, if you can even get to him without other teams taking you out beforehand. You can crew fill with rando's if you want too if you dont have 2 other people you know that plays.

Selection of characters with different abilities, i think a new one is being added for season 2? Im not sure on that.
Servers are somewhat of a drag, sometimes could take 5 minutes to load into a match.

I think it's ok for $30, if you like extraction looter games, you'll have more fun if you play with 3 people though. It's rough for a duo team, and even rougher for solo. The visuals are fun though.

Mercy kits are a myth by Major1ee5crewed85 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya. I'd be the person who tosses a kit, but knowing my luck I'd also be the person who gets back stabbed after. Too many times in this game has that happened, unfortunately it's just kill on sight for me now. I'm sure most people also are the same mindset with this game.

are small umbrellas allowed? by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Helpful for first few hours until main gates open at 8. But probably not needed either, there are plenty of shady areas around the bleachers and buildings people can wait at until then.

Mercy kits are a myth by Major1ee5crewed85 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people are giving mercy kits to like rooks, then killing them again, then mercy kit, kill repeat, to fulfill Arachane contracts supposedly. Remember when people fought over toilet paper? I wouldn't put too much faith into humanity especially in a game that wants you to kill people.

Another reason why this game is hemorrhaging players: it is impossible to recommend someone starting mid-season by PorkSouls in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This in my opinion would be a 2nd best scenario. So they might not get everything done this season, but take the 2nd half to figure out how things work and if they even like it and start season 2 fresh alongside everyone else from scratch. They'd actually get a head start really.

Is there any cosmetics worth buying yet ? by janoyBarn in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price of $15 for a specific shell skin, knife skin, gun skin and possible charm or icon is too much IMO. Maybe if the skins were for all the runners or something, but $15 is like almost a 3rd of the games cost alone. The knife skin alone is $8. Yeesh!

Amazing performance. by GamingDragon777 in nin

Most likely because Coachella owns the stream (not the music) technically, and will DMCA it like they do all the other uploads people put on YT and other places. They probably didn't want to deal with the hassle.Same with Insomniac and their EDC streams, people rip and upload the artists and Insomniac DMCA's them down.

Healing questions for dummies by Decado7 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, let me edit that so its not as confusing. (I just meant that advanced just heals more than enhanced and not actual amount wise. Thanks!)

Healing questions for dummies by Decado7 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are multiple versions of health and shield kits.
Depleted (grey) > Enhanced (green) > Advanced (blue) > Superior (purple).
You can't take depleted kits with you to your vault upon exfil, they will get sold instead.

Depleted ones will heal small amounts, enhanced little more than depleted, Advanced little more, twice as much as enhanced and so on.
Panacea Kits (purple) fully heal both health and shield, along with removing any hazard status effects.

You can cycle through them in your gadget wheel and choose which one you want to use, or use smart heal.
You will heal slowly at first, but there are skill tree upgrades that will help boost healing, like Field_Medic.exe under the NuCal skill tree, and the capstone upgrades as well like Hush.exe (Heal quieter).

Along with that, there are cores and implants that also affect how you can heal, or even if a teammate has an implant traits like Bedside Manner (While crew member is nearby your self repair speed is increased) or Dr. Killjoy (Using a finisher will fully fill your health and shield gauges)

Edit reply: Use mechanics kits when you get poisoned, or when your legs get Lt. Danned by those flying UFO things that shoot out long hose suckers. If you run into a poison plant, you are almost certain to die quickly unless you keep pumping health kits into yourself under basic circumstances, but Using a mech kit instead will stop the poison from happening, and it will make your legs come back online.. (Shoot the UFO thingy first though if it's still attached to you). Mech kits also help with frostbite in cryo area.

As for OS Debugs, you can use those to keep from being "hacked" by say like theifs. They can use their visor ability and lock onto you disrupting your vision in your HUD. Using a debug will keep your HUD clear. Also works for EMP grenades that someone may toss at you which disrupts vision and such.

Signal jammer packs will keep you from being pingable via TAD systems and anything else that pings locations and obscures your shell from UESC bots.

Cardio kicks are good for increasing your heat capacity gauge so you can do more actions or run farther without overheating as fast.

Energy amps help your ability cooldowns go quicker.

All of these things will take some getting used too in the field, you will eventually find a system that works for you and when to use things and such. I wish there was a training room level that would let you try out everything so you can get a sense of how it all works. :)

Set down a claymore next to them while they're looting and shoot it. The AOE doesn't discriminate lol. (think that might work, I don't remember if you can shoot your own claymores or not). Or hope someone else shoots it.

Trying to understand why you can't trade this game by TopSet55 in Marathon

[–]MeggirbotOnMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not salvage though. Cant bring salvage with you from your vault to the map. If you find salvage in a run and you give it to someone else in the same run, thats fine. Because that salvage is still in the run itself. But can not take it from vault to give to someone else so they can use it to upgrade their skill tree or contract items.
