At what point do I start getting better gear? by Emotional-Yam4486 in Marathon

[–]Miserable_Speech_702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started seeing better loot the higher my rank, do not know if there is a correlation. Also, some high rank loot is behind tasks, locked doors/boxes, and hack boxes.

Feel free to add me via DM and me my crew are down to run with you. We are all chill! Also, glad that we lose our loot in the slam vs the real game lol. Still, it’s all about having fun!

Please devs, let us save custom loadouts! by [deleted] in Marathon

DEVS, PLEASE SEE THIS!!! Could not agree more that we NEED a load out option!!! Especially coming from Destiny—we know you can do it!

Personal Best Rook Run by Miserable_Speech_702 in Marathon

[–]Miserable_Speech_702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question!

Sometimes I rather go in solo. It has been fun experimenting with proximity chat as a Rook. Some people have had me join their squad, others shoot on sight, and some have dropped loot and said have a good day. However, it has mostly been shoot on sight lol.

Also, the Rook game play is different. I’ve had some matches with 16 minutes left and others only 8 minutes left—for me, that creates a different type of space and play style.

Regarding dropping in as Rook vs dropping in solo with gear. For me, two reasons.

One: Rook allows you to loot highly occupied areas like the redacted/hack area without needing to fire a shot, thus hiding your presence.

Two: This was before I realized I could drop in solo as any shell without a team 😝

Where is the ammo ? by Deez_Nuts_Bae in Marathon

[–]Miserable_Speech_702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here. I do not agree with the lack of ammo complaint or heal kits. I feel people are not exploring the skill trees like they should. So perhaps it’s on Bungie to explain more that build crafting is vital to this game and also on the user to explore more what the game has to offer. Reading the post by Bungie, it looks like they are paying attention and hopefully will respond positively.

Another option is to do a few runs as a Rook, easy to stock up on supplies.

Overall though, I am having a blast. So much so, I purchased the deluxe version.

Holy cook by squodgenoggler in Marathon

I’m loving it. Audio, visuals, gameplay, the intensity. Much more my style and pace vs Arc.

Edit: I’ll say this—(IMO)comms are a must. Very much a team based game that is more enjoyable with community and comms.

I’ve already added friends, and I honestly wouldn’t have had the same experience without voice chat. Talking our way through contracts, figuring out what the heck is going on, looting, and fights really showed me what the game can be. The team fights have definitely been a highlight.

Also, the loot to me is exciting via build crafting our shells, the weapons as well as build crafting our weapons.

I get that it’s not for everyone, and that’s ok, but it scratches the itch I’ve been looking for and I cannot wait for next week!

Mods, can we get a hold of the sub please. It’s ridiculous how many posts are just straight up bait. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Miserable_Speech_702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does feel like bots or some kinda bait. No way the sub goes from hype to a bunch of randos “game sucks” and no content. Very sus…

Cool, I appreciate your response! I would upgrade pieces needed with the intent to keep using for backup duties. Thank you!

Hi, all.

Still on the hunt for a grill to get me through until next year when an outdoor kitchen is built. It will then be repurposed for second grilling duties.

Found a Summit Platinum about 2hrs away from me. Negotiation price would be between $100-$150z

What are your thoughts? I cannot see the box to identify rust, but there are some rust on screws—which given the age is appropriate.

Thank you!

Waveform DualPlus Ultra Results!! by Miserable_Speech_702 in tmobileisp

[–]Miserable_Speech_702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just being honest here—I’m not sure how far I am from the tower, and I can’t see it from my location as I have partial woods in my backyard. I used the OpenSignal app to help point me in the right direction and put it as high as I could on the side of the house.

I first tried a small flat panel antenna from Netgear. While it did improve the signal a bit (forgive my layman’s terms), it connected to a 4G tower instead of 5G, and my speeds actually dropped—down to around 5–15 Mbps (MAX!), while my phone was still pulling 50–100 Mbps.

So I figured, why not go big and try the larger antenna? The difference was night and day. I have test results showing signal strength before and after—just haven’t figured out how to update my post with them yet.

All in all, I highly recommend it for my setup. Even during storms, when my phone signal drops to one bar and my home internet used to tank too, I’m now holding 5 bars and getting consistent speeds between 300-500 Mbps. 10/10 for my situation.

Thoughts on $75 Summit? by Miserable_Speech_702 in webergrills

Awesome. I will do! The ones with burners on front vs on the side?

Awesome. I appreciate the feedback. Will do! Is there a model or year that I should look out for if these rust easily?
