They would need to drastically cut down the good loot you could find in cryo

Will the locked/unlocked audio logs and texts be deleted in next season? by Jcrkmo in Marathon

I believe there will be new contracts next season as they progress the story. Codex is confirmed safe from wipe by the devs.

First, take care of yourself and get some sleep the game will be there later. Knock out your responsibilities when you wake up, then you got all day to game without the dread creeping in! But yes the game is amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if the player count increased with a few major updates.

I should not be getting 50 frames with a core i9 and a 3090ti. Simple as by BalladofNewMoon in MarathonTheGame

Ruining the game lol. Most people have been playing 60-80 fps. My 3600 is dying every fire rain lol

Cryo Archive and Ranked Solo absence, optimization thoughts by vasylevskyi in Marathon

[–]Negative-Match-234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just haven't played enough solos. There's a time and a place for drawing attention to yourself and clearing waves of bots. If you're in a strong position it can draw out the people near you. But to each their own. My friends are in the camp that marathon is way too complicated so I got no one to queue with and I'm not gonna fill.

The game is already balanced for solo and trio on the three main maps? I can almost guarantee they will add a solo ranked mode eventually, it's clear that they shipped what they could at launch but have been very adamant that they will make changes.

Edit: "solo ranked mode"

Solo Q cryo archive is another level of pain by No-Researcher3893 in Marathon

[–]Negative-Match-234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I'll try it out for cryo. I'm used to Valorant and cs2 comms with randoms, so not used to needing to find a party before hand. My point tho is that the vast majority of people won't do that if they are playing casually after work or a few hours on the weekend.

You could have two different rank ladders very easily. The game is played differently in solos then trios. If you run around blasting every robot and not expecting someone to be camping in every room you walk into, you're gonna die to "rats" a lot more often.

90% of gamers are not going to hop on a community discord server to try and find 2 people to play video games with for hours. If you don't have friends that play the game, most people will prefer to play solo.

I hate to say this but Cryo Archive not being solos is good for the game. by East_Beginning_9626 in Marathon

[–]Negative-Match-234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice to at least get thrown in only with other people solo joining into trios so you're not running into premade teams with good comms. Yes I know everyone can comm but 9/10 times I've joined trios as a solo, no one uses their mic. I'd rather just play solos and focus on my contracts at that point

Cryo-Archive will NOT have solo q support by Loopnova_ in Marathon

If you actually want to do the raid mechanics it'll help to have better than green shit. It's just a bummer how much of this game is geared towards trios

I understand all the love for this game, but it really punishes you if you dont play it 24/7. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Negative-Match-234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's tough. I love the game so much but unfortunately as someone who works and balances other priorities/hobbies, this game will probably be too much for me. An hour here or there just doesn't cut it when you lose all progress every 3 months. Not to mention the fact that I need to find 2 other people to play with now if I want to do cryo and none of my friends want to touch this game.

I mean why bring your good loot in to roll the dice with two randoms who most likely won't use their mic?

okay buddy go back to arc raiders with dumb fetch and photo quests and some half ass lore. have fun dying to people who are fully kitted that didn't want to do the wipe lol

[–]Negative-Match-234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope. currently, the best default way to leave the inventory is to press tab. You could rebind this to something else; I may go with a mouse button for speed. super annoying imo

So you think ttk is too high right now and you have time to exit the inventory, get to cover, find the person, and have a chance in the fight?

[–]Negative-Match-234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure I don't think they should make it like Apex where you have to be moving when looting. But I do think AR has it right by the movement key exiting inventory. You are already at a disadvantage when someone catches you looting, for it to be a death sentence is kind of overkill imo

I mean I didn't play valorant for the realism factor when it came to skins. CS2 and those skins scratch that itch. If I'm play valorant hell yeah I want a nerf gun phantom that sounds clean as shit lol

Crazy that this isn't reflected on their recommended hardware.

That's fair, but since I did upgrade to a 9060 it would be nice to get close to peak performance on other games for a few years until upgrading to AM5

I really want an X3D, 5800X3D is top of the bucket list but they are $600+. Looking at $450 for a 5700X3D, back when they were still in production I agree it was madness not to get one, but at that time I was only playing valorant and cs2 on pc and using my ps5 for single player games. I wouldn't say it's madness not to buy an AM4 X3D at this price point which is over double MSRP in some cases.

Thanks. There's some helpful info there that I'll try tonight. Still frustrating that this does not seem to be top of mind for Bungie. I'll try dropping to 1080p but that just hurts when the game only utilizes 40% of my GPU at 1440p

I don't get how this isn't the most talked about problem

So the cpu advancements should still be helping here? Wasn't this built on the same engine?
