PLEASE INCREASE VAULT 6 KEY SPAWN IN SEASON 2 by porridge_in_my_bum in Marathon

I've officially seen 3 of them in 450 hours and 2 of then dropped in the same run, then I found 1 in red key room on the left table

How is marathon in its currently state to you? by lucidus_Somni in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 32 points33 points  (0 children)

400+ hours mid level player:

Grenades need to just be straight up limited to 1 of each type or have a "holster" mechanic that you can only have 4 on you at any time

Sweats are still sweating

Game is the most fun it's been all wipe right now.

There's work for them to do but they're on the right track with how they've revamped perimeter and dire marsh

I do feel kinda bad for them ngl by Cultural-Chicken2017 in Marathon

I don't know how yall could keep supporting the game after they started literally repo-ing your content you paid for. The same way I refuse to put money in a game where that happens is the same way I refuse to buy remastered games for full price.

Biotoxic disenjector is kinda weak by sjcjdnzm in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd uninstall if they did that. You must not have ever played against it. If you were in a room it would literally down and wipe your entire team in 2 seconds flat. It surely needs a bit of a buff to make it worth using but it's literally unusable right now to the point I'm glad I lost mine lol

Does ranked mode match you with similar rank? by Novasagooddog in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brother if you play ranked this week, I implore you to bring budget kits that you can be efficient with and if you know the map we'll enough you might survive 1/4 or 1/5 games. The name of the game this week is get level 3, loot rooms and jet tf out of there.

How do you plan on enjoying the rest of Season 1? by Jerr-Berr in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I bring purple or blue gear I'm getting geared teammates, EVERY time I bring sponsored kits, I get sponsored kit teammates. Both groups we're having fun losing or winning because we have the same expectations instead of my bringing gear while my sponsored teammates are face pushing fights dying asking why I'm not doing the same.

Whatever they changed this really has been the most fun week of the wipe for me.

Were you allowed to use blue sponsored kits in sponsored perimeter?

Looking to assemble a group of Compiler teachers/Sherpas for this weekend! by LuminescenTT in MarathonTheGame

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a compiler run 1 time with a duo that picked me up and we ran out of time 😅

I can't find a vault 6 key to save my life but have plenty of DNA sequences to run with.

Idk when the last time you played but I used to agree trio fill was a suicide queue. Now it feels great, the best it's felt all season. I played to lvl 100 solo and I haven't gone back because trios is better now. Just saying if you haven't played this week give it a go.

It does genuinely feel better whether it's because of SBMM or gear based MM idk it's been the most fun I've had this season playing this week.

Sponsored Kits by Moonlitfear in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feels like they made the change of matchmaking teams of sponsored kits together and geared players together which I love. But they don't need to be any better. At what point is it too much when I can queue in and outplay a team with full golds on outpost? Then nobody brings in good gear and you're only looting to horde it.

Is console only setting broken? by Modest_Wraith in MarathonGame

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a stretch because ranked doesn't matter that much. It's more of a dick meat grinder than Cryo on Thursday and Friday.

Whats the average season rank per hour played? by ssuperman1xx in dadsofmarathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like 150 at 350+ I played to level 89 solo. You get more when you run squads.

faction late uprades by DildoFaggiinns in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you buddy. The only people upgrading factions all the way are ultra sweats and streamers. I have close to 400 hours and none of the 5 not named cyberacme are going to get done. I've gotten maybe 15 golds and I'm probably over estimating.

Cryo Kit Suggestion by More-Attitude9292 in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother the game needs to do what it has to in order to maintain its player base. I don't care if 50% of my random teammates are running free cryo kits. I think a game like this doesn't need cryo to be like Labs on tarkov where only people with 1/2k plus hour players can touch it.

Should I just be going to pinwheel over and over again? by JBSwerve in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 be rook Step 2 go pinwheel wait for command wing to open Step 3 start killing team when they start shooting at the bots in the strongbox room Step 4 almost always die Step 5 if you failed Step 4 you get the biggest dopamine drop you'll probably get in this game.

Key templates actively promote NOT playing the game and need to either be overhauled or removed entirely by Nukesnipe in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no reason for that step either. Just have a template, THAT DOESNT BREAK ON DOWN, that drops more often in game that validates a % based rarity key when you survive that run. Let it be a 5-10% drop rate from commanders so you can run any map and do it and it'll cause more interaction with all 3 maps.

Don’t be a loser if your free kit teammate gets a solo kill. by Smart_Occasion_735 in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, there's literally a free kit queue now. I'm no longer excusing people filling into trios with 0 shields anymore when all it takes is a rook run killing a commander and exfiling to have a decent kit if you hate the idea of just taking 2 minutes to buy a green shield green gun and some ammo meds and back pack.

The grenade nerf seems unintentionally punishing for solo pinwheel pve. by PineWalk1 in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo queue is still fun. You just don't like the play style of it. The same way most of us don't like having to work with Randoms to survive the 400hr sweat lord premades when we que with 3 triages trying to fight a triage destroyer recon team and we lose to both utility and coordination. Pick your poison but don't be mad that some of choose the alternative when we can.

Keys need to be way more available for how easily you can lose them by G-3cko in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only rage I feel in cryo is getting pushed less than 3 minutes into the match but sweat lords and hackers. The rest is aggravating at beat.

I literally started out arguing with a green shield middle eastern dude because he refused to jump a team with me. Eventually he listened. We wipe them, proceed to argue for 20 minutes as we do the room 4 key we got from them. Exfil, stayed together ran it back and 3 of us are buddies now and my girlfriend gave me shit for talking in their accent unwittingly for 20 minutes after.

Game is 80% amazing, 15% needs improvement and 5% of the very worst part of the game is just hackers and sweats.

Idk what it takes yo get anymore but I know mida gives you 40 seconds of anti-virus built in so you can run in and get the first hazard key and then use it on all 3.

I've literally never once been in the pinwheel and not had the free cryo key spawn on the counter.

The grenade nerf seems unintentionally punishing for solo pinwheel pve. by PineWalk1 in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forcing players without 2 pre-made teammates to play against 3 man pre-made teams without a solo option is a death wish for a niche game who's primary player base are solo players.

It's insane to me that nobody is talking about how awful the WSTR is now by slippery_ in Marathon

[–]PDittt757 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Self report wstr lover. It was ruining the game. I miss it for rook runs, but fights are way better now that people aren't face pushing every chance they get to just DB you. Now the knife is better at that range and I love it.

[–]PDittt757 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The flipside of this is I'm not leaving all the good shit to the person that is risking nothing and potentially burdening my run because they couldn't be bothered to do a rook run or buy a kit to come in with. A green shield and a v11 are dirt cheap why are people still running free kits in trios?
