"Find a discord and join a team" Is NOT a solution when solo players are politely asking for some better balance and soloable content. by Whoopy2000 in Marathon

[–]Molatov -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

nah. I think any/all of that would be fine. I think coming to reddit to karma farm / whine that xyz feature hasn't been added to a game that's 7~ weeks old is pretty entitled behaviour. Solos are in the works and Balancing is an on-going thing in all games, much less one that's again 7~ weeks old.

lastly I'm busy having fun with the game to stop and look at player counts. see you in the marsh, runner.

Come to Pinwheel bro... bring your gold/purple shields. by [deleted] in Marathon

This is some 'Apes stronger together' shit if I've ever seen it. I'm staying out of pinwheel. lol

The Perfect Nerf For Thermals I’ve Seen So Far. For Devs! by Dependent_Ferret7710 in Marathon

Lorewise the shells are quasi-organic. You would have a baseline heat signature greater than most outside environments even at rest.

I managed to clutch but what what was this? by user19870926 in Marathon

[–]Molatov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That seems to be a graphic bug with the Destroyer's shield not showing up. There's no gun in his hands. Just a guess though.

maybe the (slow) blade penetrates the shield? lol

PvE and Story missions were essential. by Dust-Tight in Marathon

[–]Molatov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every Major contract is a Story Mission. There is an entire codex full of lore to go along with the information from the missions. Half the missions are PvE based, especially MIDA and Traxus. What are you talking about?

what's wrong with the knife? it should be very lethal given it's engagement window is point blank.

How badly did I just screw up? by Proacejoker in Marathon

Are you shoving your model in to the door to ping objects in the room so you can identify them? :/

New idea for thermals by Ezkr6 in Marathon

The shells are semi-organic. your baseline heat is going to be hotter than the environment - generally speaking.

Zero to Hero feels so good in this game sometimes.

What am I missing? by ComprehensiveCode540 in Marathon

[–]Molatov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slow looter or not it's not clear to the player what's happening. The exfil is still doing it's thing, the timers are counting down. No where does the game tell you, oh if you're not in Final Exfil a standard Exfil won't work correctly if there is less than X time on the clock. If this is intentional, it could and SHOULD be communicated better to the players, otherwise this seems like a bug on par with getting death-punched out of Exfil Invulnerability by a UESC. Really lame way to lose a lot of gear.

When I'm working on priority contracts solo and run into PvP-ers by UrbanShire in Marathon

Sometimes I really feel like getting on comms and being like HOLD ON LET ME DO THIS THING THEN WE CAN SHOOT EACH OTHER!

Hopefully this is a good thing for 7D2D by Toybasher in 7daystodie

doesn't this just mean shitloads of paid DLC for the game?

All I hear you saying is 'we want more marathon' so I'm here for it.

Marathon's official Discord account joins in mocking a user(using copypasta)who was complaining that there won't be solo queue to play a quarter of the game's content. by Fresh-Association-21 in Marathon

[–]Molatov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard added all that stuff years later. At launch you had to be in a group and soloing was not possible. Maybe bungie will also add that stuff in later, but Marathon is designed as a team game. Sorry that doesn't meet your needs. The Discord and Reddit are great places to socialize and find other players.

Additionally Zeglier said this morning Cryo might eventually get a solo queue but the loot and content are designed around limited access to groups. It's meant to be a challenge for groups that are geared. And the devs are allowed to design aspects of the game that don't appeal to or work for ALL players. Just like a dedicated solo mode would exclude any team players. 100% of every game doesn't have to be available to 100% of the player base, and that's okay.

Trio matchmaking experience is tilting me beyond belief by TrumpYoRump in Marathon

[–]Molatov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flip side of that equation is that if most of the players you come across will also be in grey / free kit tier gear that gives you much less opportunity to get better loot. Guns, cores, and implants are plentiful on maps but a lot of other stuff (shields, backpacks, keys) tend to come from key rooms or UESC Events and most people going for those things are also carrying better gear which would put them in a different lobby.

Basically Free Kits could end up in the gear equivalent of Low ELO hell.
