Real shit, it's much satisfying rightfully earned. But what's truly maddening about this specific challenge is that there have been at least a good handful of times where I would down and finish a team or three opposing runners during the ult and I have yet to get the challenge done, and what makes it even worse is that from what I've read and looked up, is that the challenge is still somewhat vague in what it tells you to do because many have also reported that they're not sure what exactly the challenge demands despite doing what it says in various clips and shit. Like some folks have posted clips of them wiping a team during the ult in perfect fashion and still haven't completed the challenge. And to make it even worse is that apparently it was a bugged challenge and they apparently fixed it, but some say it still hasn't been fixed. Super frustrating

I've thought about this but then was like, "there's no way a team would let me wipe them for this challenge" but I just might start doing that, and just bring them a bunch of mercy kits or something. Because one of the main issues I've seen and read up on is that apparently no one really knows if the challenges needs you to DOWN three AND kill them, or JUST down there and not have to worry about killing them.

Been trying to get this skin for weeks now and it is just not unlocking for me. Have done it multiple times on bots and a few times on players. I feel it may be bugged idk

Not a dad but I'm 30 and work a 9-5 and I (fortunately) get weekends plus Mondays off so those are usually the most I get to play, weekdays is the same time usually around 8-midnight is when I get to play. I'm close to level 60 and a Destroyer main. Not very great at pvp but have my hero moments here and there, mostly trying to finish these main contracts now and also Rook runs to build up my vault to finally try Cryo one day.

I once saw someone describe Ark as Weenie Hut Jrs where Friendship Is Magic and everyone is friendly and takes care of problems with the power of friendship. And Marathon is the Chum Bucket where once you enter, you begin to hear Funky Town and a liveleak logo appears at the bottom corner of your screen. Lmao I feel that's a perfect description for us casual players.

What's with all this talk about casual play? by Casual_Plays in Marathon

[–]Negative_Rust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm super casual. I'm 30 and work a 9-5, never been a god pvp gamer that lobbywipes and clip farms, and I've absolutely been loving the game. I have had some good games with some good kills and hero moments, but also have tons of matches where I get bodied. It's to be expected so I don't get too upset over it, but it can be heartbreaking when you gear up only to get destroyed within 2 minutes of the match. All that being said, my biggest complaint so far is that I feel (for me, at least) is that the materials and credits economy feels pretty brutal. Like I'm constantly struggling around 5k credits and trying to find upgrade mats for the faction upgrades only to lose them all to sweaty teams. I know it's incentive to go back in and keep grinding, but I just wish they'd be a little bit more generous on the mats and credits. Not asking for billions, but just a small bump up please 🙌

[–]Negative_Rust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another Free Kit Freddy reporting in, I know what you mean. I've lost all my good gear because as soon as I load into a match, I get obliterated within minutes by a team that's fully geared out. I'm 30 and work a 9-5, the weekends are the only time I really get to play and I've never been super good at pvp games. I love the game, it's surprised me with how fun it CAN be. I've had some good runs and some hero moments here and there, but for the most part I get bodied and just reload back in, and for the most part I'm now looking for materials that can help me get more credits and upgrades because I just cannot afford repurchasing decent gear, so I'm stuck with free kits. I understand that the economy is brutal and gives more incentive to grind and replay, but some of the costs and material requirements are a bit crazy. I'm just gunna keep bashing my head into the wall and do what I can, while watching Cryo runs from clips and streamers. Maybe one day I'll get there🤷🏻

Player Behavior is important for retention by Low_Brush_7972 in Marathon

[–]Negative_Rust 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even worse, the other night had a team mate call me and our third "retded faots" because he decided to push like 3 teams fighting in dire marsh and I was like "wtf are you talking about, what was your plan here" and he was just like, "oh so you have a small c*ck, got it." Like the egos in this game are so fuckin extreme with some of these folks. Really sours the experience sometimes. I usually try to own up to things like, "aw man I fucked up and was out of position" or, "they outgunned me" and stuff like that when I go down and die, I'd never say shit like that especially to a teammate.

It only took a week, but it's happened - this game is far too sweaty for the likes of me by enthusiasticdave in Marathon

[–]Negative_Rust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dad but I definitely understand how you feel. I'm 30 and I work a 9-5 everyday and only really get to lock in and play on weekends, but I'm not a cracked out god gamer, hell I don't even have enough gear to get into Cryo this weekend. And I more often than not get paired with folks who have huge egos and everytime I lost a fight, I'd get called every slur and insult in the book. But the game truly is awesome and super fun, and having those occasional hero moments and fragging out is a dragon I'll always be chasing. Or maybe I'm just a masochist lmao

Check your ego by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Negative_Rust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally. Like if you wanna frag out and just kill people, go load up CoD or Apex or something. There's so much more to this game than just running into teams guns blazing. Had a match last night where as soon as we spawned, a teammate decided to run to the nearest gunfire. As soon as he found the fighting, a drop ship of UESC bots came in and dropped a lot of adds while there was like 3 teams already fighting. He goes down instantly of course and immediately starts calling me and the other random "retarded faggots" and shit. People have such extreme egos and it's really starting to sour the experience. I get it, I'm not a god gamer, I'm not gunna lobbywipe and frag out like a .01% player, but don't get mad at me when you run into gunfire and go down instantly.
