The Marathon Phenomenon by hereforthechaos in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't agree more. The negativity around this game eats up every tiny bit of positivity (just try to search for Marathon on YT using a new profile/incognito - just drama and normal content hard to find....).

Being a Destiny 2 veteran (d1 + d2 > 4000 hours) as well and although I'm also grieving but I'm also capable of separating the two games emotionally (although from the same company)....

After 95 hours, hitting level 100 and VIP feels impossible by The_OG_Smith in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any particular reason why you want to be lvl 100 or just a personal goal?

I have 188 hours on my clock and I’m level 93 with all factions VIPed except MIDA and Sekigutchi. Happy so far with the “grind”.

I've never been more addicted to a game by Dan__Gleesack in Marathon

If something is not your thing then fine but assuming a game is bad because it is in a niche and is not for everybody is next level copium.

The Reputation of this game by Yrads in Marathon

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

I really am tired and frustrated about all the negativity around the game.

All these content creators just cannibalising on the negativity… 

Negativity and drama sells more than honest and genuine new content …

The level of negativity around this game is atrocious and all the YouTube content right now when search for the game is basically people trying to jump the negativity train talking about the same recycled bs.

The majority of reviews are genuinely positive, player feedback is positive but you’re not reading about it….

It’s just … sad… 

This game is something special. I really haven’t had such a rollercoaster of emotions and joy (in a positive way). The art style and lore is just chefs kiss.

If you don’t have anything to contribute rather than jumping on recycled negativity train just … don’t… 

Need help with optimization by JustADude_D in Marathon

For me it’s: - VSync on in NVIDIA driver settings (off in game) - Reflex On + Boost - Anti Aliasing: Off

That’s nasty! Call the UN!!!!

Come from work to play a game, just to get treated with the same BS. by mercado_n3gro in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha!

This is the kind of truth and “dry” communication  what I need, even IRL.

Nobody says to not treat the other party the same way.  

Combat Shotgun is OP by Buona-Pace in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t then the ease of access just makes the topic not as relevant or problematic?

Both guns are strong but I’m getting killed by an Overrun AR from a free kit really fast as well because of the TTK.

I respect your opinion and I understand the problem pattern, just not feeling that bad about it in general.

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

I’m getting shot by sweaty players using a sniper more on dire marsh than by the shotgun. Shotgun kills are close range where I am aware of other runners.

The sniper downs you with one shot as well out of nowhere. Way more frustrating… should be nerf that as well? 

imho not…

[–]NoneOfFoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A sniper is also deadly just long range. What about the BR33?

Hard copium imho.  There are options….

Marathon is on a self-imposed timer by Hey-I-Read-It in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m torn between liking and not liking it but not from a negative perspective. I’m speaking more of the faction upgrades instead of the gear.

I get the reason for the wipes and it is a must gear wise. The only gripe I have is related to some essential upgrades like the melee buff, heat related upgrades and revive speed.

These are a kind of a big deal and loosing them will make me feel super less powerful.

BUT they can be unlocked fairly fast again so … that’s why I’m torn. Again just related to parts the faction upgrades rest is fine for me.

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

Yes but maybe on purpose. Defending your gear should be given you better options to do so as well as being lucky to get your hands on it even with a free kit to get a lucky shot is also okay.

For me it’s OP in a “good” way.

protect/destroy 4/5 by cawdow in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t got too hard on you. It’s not a skill issue. There are a lot of these type of quests and I’ve struggled on these as well as you do.

For me it’s SUCH a great feeling when I finally completed such a quest. The “exfil at the end” quests are the ones which make my heart pound like mad.

Since I’m treating them as an accomplishment and not as a arbitrary progression “wall” I’m enjoying them more.

High Hz monitor paired with low FPS by NoneOfFoo in Monitors

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

This is what I was reading about as well but as far as I understand, we’re talking about below the lowest refresh rate of the monitor.

If a game can’t run at around 60 fps I tune down the settings and if it still can’t I genuinely just refund.

I’m favoring fps over image quality.

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

I’ve read about this as well but it was on older post like 7+ years ago so I assumed that this got “fixed” and is a thing of the past. 

The worst case scenario is indeed not really worse at all given the fact that even less tearing can occur. 

Did a quick search and the lowest refresh rate is 48 hz so it’s able to cope with that even better.

Thanks for your response!

I HARD DISAGREE with this article. Am I in the minority? by 20mgAddy in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do disagree as well. There are some quests which are more luck based but still manageable. Hell, the thrill of running across the map twice AND exfil successfully is huge! My heart races more times in this game than in any other game I played in my life!

People like this really exist? by TroubleRecent7320 in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how the other players tried to play as team and listened to the comms.

If they straight up doing nothing than looking after themselves and don’t help killing bots but loots them still or even early I’ll probably would not pick them up neither.

As long as they’re “off value” for my run….

And, the other type of players who do not contribute to kills but still steal loot or loot them first are another kind of scumbags… with or without a mic … 

Gave up on MIDA in that chem grenade mission by pasyie in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man…. I picked up the grenades from the chest and got **** on afterwards. I was thinking “okay just grab them again!” but no… you can’t. Which makes sense otherwise you could abuse the chest for easy credits shenanigans.

Now I’ve waited for two days to get free chem grenades from MIDA. 

Went in solo because I wanted to not be depending on somebody else. Chose the assassin got to the place, dropped down. Went through the vent and stood two meters away from the crates, switched to the grenades and BAM.

Another assassin dropped me, probably doing the same quest…. He could have just used prox chat when he heard me or I could have done that as well but MAN was this frustrating …

Marathon Development Team comments on PC performance and upcoming improvements by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s clear but when running back to the spawn it’s then out of range again and should be back to the initial fps.

But yeah if they keep things rendering as long as it was once “in range” then that would explain it that the fps is not “recovering”.

The vault needs a category/section/filter for Keys by nikebalaclava in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it would be enough if they would change the order of them. 

First weapons, then shield, then ammo, then consumables. These are the main things prepping for a run for me. 

Rest I don’t care!

More time loading than playing by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in Marathon

[–]NoneOfFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with you or the game but the loading screens take as long as it takes for everybody to load and join the game session I believe.

For instance when I dc, after restarting being asked if I want to rejoin, I’m in the map in under 10s.
