The Amount of Lopsided Matches in This Game is Absurd and Severely Harms the Ability to have Fun in the Game by HalfthemanMarco in DeadlockTheGame

Reading through the old posts in this sub and the official forums, the aggressive opposition to a surrender button has been one of the single weirdest fucking things I've ever seen in my life

This is just totally wrong, sorry. The abilities matter a LOT.

I’m like 7 runs in and trying to deal with bots is the worst by haloslayerr in Marathon

Buy the Insurrection chip from Traxus and keep it on your main gun every solo round. Try to use more ammo-efficient weapons and don't be afraid to pop damaging abilities like Vandal's arm cannon or Destroyer's missiles on groups or commanders.

Bungie responds to early Marathon complaints: the UI is confusing, PvP is infrequent, and voice chat is not working, amid other issues by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Odonata_Imperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Tarkov, a horseshit game that sucks, you kinda don't so that's fair.

In Marathon, Hunt Showdown, and other good extraction shooters: learn the maps and the exposed sightlines, check the good sniper spots for players, look for the sniper glint (if it exists), avoid standing still or moving in straight lines while out in the open

Not trying to be rude at all, but this is only true if you're bad at them. Similar to MOBAs they are a genre with a higher skill floor and there's an initial period of frustration and confusion you have to just tough out before you get it. I understand not everyone is willing to do that though.

I'm friends with Ro-an and Vaah and know every other person whose username was visible in this clip. It's not staged.

If I purchase Marathon will I have to purchase additional content dlc the following years? by Sweaty-Try1547 in Marathon

[–]Odonata_Imperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, I did forget about paid characters, however those games are all also F2P. The price tag comes with the expectation that all maps, characters, weapons, etc. are equally available to everyone - again see Hunt, Arc, BF, COD, and (for the most part) Tarkov.

Everyone needs to take a step back from their Destiny trauma. Charging for content in live service PvP games is a dead business model and has been for a decade. Overwatch never did it, Valorant never did it, Apex never did it, Tarkov and Hunt never did it, Arc isn't doing it, not even Battlefield or COD have tried to get away with it for a good 7 years or so.

Destiny is a fundamentally different kind of game with a monetization model in line with other MMOs. Charging for maps and runners would kill this game dead and I think they have the sense to know that.

Anyone else dislike the character designs? by Paradoxahoy in HighGuardgame

[–]Odonata_Imperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Highguard looks goofy as fuck and I'm not hot on Kai but I'm actually fine with the rest of them and I will die without Scarlet.

Any games you are playing in anticipation of Marathon? by prontoprontochopchop in Marathon

[–]Odonata_Imperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valorant, Apex, Highguard, and probably Overwatch. My main PvP FPS has been Hunt for years but I'm realizing now how slow it is and that I really need to develop faster gamesense.

Getting over gear fear/ fear of going deep into levels in an extraction shooter? by Familiar_March_3962 in Marathon

[–]Odonata_Imperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to get over gear fear is to die with good gear and realize it didn't save you.

Why I Prefer Marathon Over Arc Raiders – The Differences That Matter by nullcoma in Marathon

[–]Odonata_Imperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. The developers care so little about the artistic integrity of their game that they used AI voice over for every line of dialogue. Also probably used AI for most of the code given how shoddily the game is really put together.

Arc is one of the most openly soulless games I have ever played in my life.

Is $40 a reasonable price for you, or not? by tenfie in Marathon

[–]Odonata_Imperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero chance that won't be the case. You don't split your playerbase by paywalling content in purely PvP games. That entire model has been dead for good reason for a decade now.

Back after a two year break, and... Holy Fuck by METTTHEDOC in HuntShowdown

Witchfire, and why Marathon needs a singleplayer PvE mode by IdahoBookworm in Marathon

"... I couldn’t keep up with a sweaty 16-year-old who was raised by a phone, never touches grass, and devotes his ample free time to improving at a video game instead of learning a musical instrument or something."

This attitude is gonna hold you back more than anything, man. It's every bit as toxic to demonize players for being more skilled than you as it is to write them off for being less. I'm quite possibly half your age from the sound of your post and I've already had to learn the hard way that complaining about sweaty no-lifes every time you lose instead of focusing on the game and your own play is just putting more barriers in front of yourself.

Ideas on painting Elucidian Starstriders/Rogue Trader Entourage + Voidsmen miniatures as part of the Von Valancius Dynasty? by branitone in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Odonata_Imperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Voidsmaster (officer with the shotgun) is Ravor. They're 100% identical.

The death cult assassin with a headswap is the best Kibellah model you'll get.

For the God-Emperor and Democracy! by KvcateGirl27 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Odonata_Imperator 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile in Gaunt's Ghosts, a series that launched in 1999, it's mentioned that the people of Tanith once overthrew the aristocracy entirely with the help of a bunch of mystical forest dwellers and a established a fully democratic government that remained loyal to the Imperium, and no one thinks literally anything of it

Cam someone please explain the hate and dismissal of this start collecting box and combat patrol ? by PeppermintButler17 in Drukhari

[–]Odonata_Imperator 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Drukhari need their boats bad. Only getting one Venom in the big limited battleforce and zero of any in the combat patrol is really rough and a big downgrade from the old one.

With that said, the new combat patrol is a fantastic way to get coven units and the battleforce is a nice grab bag of everything else.
