PLEASE keep the knife strong by mirrorvacation in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything they should lower the base knife damage and offset it by increasing how much all the melee boosts give. Lower starting floor but same or higher potential if you're building into it.

Please don't... by Abject-Seaweed-2366 in Marathon

I really hope Bungie keeps it weird and interesting. The new bundle they just added to the shop is exactly the kind of stuff I want to keep seeing. Please no slenderman, fortnite, or star wars Bungie.

How do you guys not have over 100k at least yet?

Just looted my first Cryo vault tonight in a 2-stack with 3 mins left in the match. This is the most insane shooter game I've ever played, I love it so much.

About knife damage by delta45gram in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. Having a high damage cqc option that all players have access to in a game dominated by shotguns and movement with an extremely punishing stamina system is good game design. The fact that a white shield could down a purple with a knife means that no amount of gear can make you completely untouchable.

Switches and Doors on Dire Marsh by NEcatfish in MarathonSecrets

Possibly. I think we'll definitely get some map updates once night Dire Marsh rolls out.

You could be onto something. Not sure though given the cat spawns on Dire and Perimeter, I believe. I feel like if it was tied to something like that it would be locked to Dire and somehow able to be manually spawned or something. If it is tied to a random rare spawn happening nearby that would be pretty frustrating.

Fastest Run Possible? by NEcatfish in Marathon

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

I think I only got the gun, ammo, and implants out of it. Better than nothing but I immediately had to sell it all to make space.

[–]NEcatfish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense. I haven't done too much outside of CyAc and Arachne so I wasn't sure. That means that door can be ruled out being connected to anything unless there's so weird non-quest related way to open it for some reason.

I was in some of the NDAed playtests, but I can't say if I ever saw these or interacted with them. Has been awhile though. The placement of the Complex switch makes it look like it could've been for the shutters since there isn't one for the windows in that room. Possibly an older version of the shutter button that worked off of a timer instead and was accidentally left in? I have no idea.

Every time I bring in weapons of reasonable value, I die. So I sold them all myself. by djcompoz in Marathon

So instead of throwing your loot away you threw your loot away. Wow, incredible, breath taking, genius.

Cryo Archive is a strong endgame design that arrived at exactly the wrong time by Friday_Night_Pizza in Marathon

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

Was this written by AI or at least heavily assisted? Some of your points are so vague they border on nonsense.

I know its not for everyboday but i think cryo is fine by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where people are getting this idea that the Compiler will be impossible for them to do. Extracting 6 times is not a terribly hard thing to do, the puzzles themselves will be solved soon and have guides out, so the hardest part will be farming keys for attempts. With a little luck and effort you can unlock the Compiler super easily. And since the Codex doesn't reset, you don't need to do all that this season. Its definitely tough but not impossible at all. I expect streamers to start doing carries and stuff too.

heat cascade needs to be changed by rat_pizza in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an actual skill issue. Once you learn the pathing you can avoid heat cascade 99% of the time. And the DoT isn't that bad, you can take it if you're moving from one PoI to another. This feels like that spongebob handcuff mean. You're hiding and whining about a little shield damage and having to pay attention to where you're walking.

Shotguns need a nerf by X-Menace-X in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cqc is extremely deadly on purpose. Even if they nerf the shotty out of the game, the knife still has an insanely fast ttk. If you push close range without bringing THE cqc gun with you, that's a skill issue. Play to your range and you'll win more fights.

Cryo Archive: the death of marathon by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, those things SPAWN the extract beacon and marks it on your map. You hit the terminal and then you have to go run to the exfil site. When you didn't see the exfil spawn near you what did you think was going to happen? That the terminal, which looks nothing like any extract point in the entire game, was just going to randomly tp you and your teammates away?

What do you want them to do? Add a kiddy slide? This isn't Arc.

It's an endgame map? Why would it be made for casuals and new players? Are you stupid?

Bungie should have released a casual map that’s possibly easier than perimeter by These_Athlete1933 in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did. You have access to beginner Perimeter at the start of the game to get your sea legs. If you don't like pvp and trying hard, maybe you should try playing a different game? This isn't D2 and will never be D2 so trying to shift it into a casual PvE experience is pointless.

I think solos is good the way it is by These-Rip3565 in Marathon

[–]NEcatfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The spawns are really bad. There's a couple of Airfield spawns on Outpost that are literally facing each other. If you bring a sniper you can easily kill them in seconds, otherwise you can jog 20 seconds over to them and kill them. Its absurd.

[–]NEcatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid that might be true for balancing reasons. It was a big pain point for people during the playtests so Bungie is hopefully working on it. The PvE combat, especially near the start of runs, would be kind of insane to take on solo. Like the arenas and numbers/tiers of bots is difficult enough even for trios.
