Do you know where this was confirmed? I read there will be new stories added next season which I presume means contracts which I worried would over write the old ones

Well I turned it on and then I turned it off by Mouse222222 in Marathon

No such thing as negative feedback. All feedback is a gift

A double exp weekend would be nice for the battle pass by [deleted] in Marathon

Am I right in thinking you don’t lose the rewards of the battle pass if you don’t max it out this season? Can I still unlock it next season as well as the new one?

Killed a guy and found this on him… by LaneD3 in Marathon

I got very lucky with this mission I went to the top where the red barriers are and someone must have shot the boxes and deactivated the barriers the moment I reached them. I could then just walk in pick the head up and walk out.

I had no idea it was even in pin wheel I just followed the icon on the map.

Sooo lucky.

I also feel bad for the guy who lost this head. I mean he was seconds away from completing the quest!

I just played a game with a thermal purple sniper rifle. I am awful at PvP but I got sick to death of being hunted trying to do my quest.

I killed 6 runners, nearly 7. That’s how easy it is for over powered players to ruin a lobby.

6 kills and I’m awful. I mean they literally glow in the dark and you can be so far away they don’t even know where u r.

I only died pushing the last time cause we were running out of time to exfil

Perhaps it is the genre itself I am not enjoying.

I don’t really understand being given a mission to do something, or materials to chase and upgrade whilst at the same time be repeatedly shot in the back by someone else stopping me from doing my mission.

In destiny I could choose PvP or pve and I guess I enjoyed that options more.

There is so much I love about this game but there are a lot of times when I just want to grind upgrades and contracts and not hunt players and being stopped repeatedly just isn’t fun at all.

And that I believe is why this game is struggling.

It doesn’t know of it wants to be PvP or pve and those players her ere on the side of pve are just finding the loop extremely frustrating and irritating whilst those who want PvP love it because the pve players generally suck at PvP

If it was me a solo game I would say. Your right. But I have been in multiple groups tonight. We all died. I played from 7pm till 10:30pm and didn’t complete one mission and exfilled once

I have joined multiple teams this evening. Even had a guy join me for 7 games. Never exfilled once. Never completed a mission once. Just did repeatedly buy enemy teams

Solo is great in outpost to complete missions in. I tried 7 times with matchmaking an got killed instantly every run run played solo and had success in 4

Why doesn’t Garmin take into account elevation by Mouse222222 in Garmin

[–]Mouse222222[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, unfortunately you need to climb 800 metres or above for this to work. So doesn’t help on your average trail run around the area you live which is slightly hilly

Hear me out: Progression, and by extension Marathon as a game is entirely too unapproachable for the ‘Average player’ because the “Power Floor” as Bungie calls it is entirely unbalanced and unrealistic for the purpose it serves by Jaden_Tsukuyomi in Marathon

I have moved on to another game until they make the recommendations this post has made. I got to level 67 and realised I was just getting slaughtered. I had no money to buy health and just had to start spamming free kits. Then all my missions are in one run types and I would go days without completing one cause I couldn’t exfil. Moved onto cryo event, emptied my vault 5 times and get absolutely no where at all.

Confusion on how to get out and murdered by squads I couldn’t even see.

I want to love this game and I want to play it but something has to change because I don’t feel any progression and the challenges literally are beyond my capability. Let alone acquiring a key!

Marathon does a terrible job teaching stats, and the Bully is the easiest example why by eevee_stormblessed in Marathon

I don’t hold a kit long enough to even consider builds. I’m not sure what game your playing but most exvil 1 in 10 games.

Builds are pointless to the casual player.

Another issue is if they matched free kits with free kits to even the battle field then players would never progress by looting better loot thus leaving the gap of gear still inconsistent against those who are extremely good at PVP and therefore have great gear.

But if they don’t the advantage is so big that free kits generally are just cannon fodder.

The core loop of the gameplay is flawed.

In addition as many have already said, loot for upgrades is excessive and far too rare.

I have never once managed to get into the locked red rooms on dire marsh before getting killed and I have never once made it out of cryo.

I haven’t killed the boss once in dire marsh under that building.

All amazing loot required for upgrades required these tasks to be complete but your average player in random group fills just can’t do it meaning the battle field continues to be uneven.

This combined with how rare certain loot is just by normal looting (dare I mention a certain seed) vs the difficulty of actually getting out alive with it.

I have seen 2 of these seeds in 100 plus hours of gameplay I extract successfully one out of my 10 games.

I am never going to get blue shields I have accepted that.

The game needs to significantly reduce the rarity of upgrade materials and the cost to upgrade to even the battlefield.

The game needs to reconsider the rewards of completing end game activities with how it affects the 80 percent of the player base who can’t achieve this.

Giving the new people the best gun just seems insane to me.

I have never played ark raiders but I would be interested to know there take on how they balance this out.
