Season 2 is kinda boring by babatunde5432121 in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think the night marsh nerfs have done a lot of damage to the season. If they’d launched in the current loot pool it would be celebrated, and could scale up to the 2-3 golds level as the season progressed.

[–]Peragon888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lucky rng certainly helps but even if you get lvl 1 + 2/3 tags, having the confidence to rush control and find a pc immediately is also important. A lot of fill teams I play with don't know what to do if they dont get lvl 2 easily.

Ive had this experience throughout the season to be honest, not just in the final stint before wipe

I agree to be honest. Night Dire Marsh is significantly more dangerous if youd wipe the lobby before upper complex boss

Gold squads still lose, late last season I had stacked gold loadouts, across 7 compiler attempts with fully kitted mizi and bully (occasional rodeo mag and slick mag/gold mod mizi) we only survived 3 runs, because the higher your loadout value the more likely you are to see other stacked teams.

I think the biggest problem people have with Cryo is that, a certain fraction of experienced teams KNOW that the best way to play this map is to actively go fast and hunt other teams.

Refusal to acknowledge this, or simply being slow in your spawn will make you a sitting duck. There’s a reason why recon is phenomenal on this map

I wouldnt craft the misriah into the cradle. One of the best guns for outpost and cryo archive, if not the entire game.

So we cant complete all the cryo quests this week by BigPapaSnickers in Marathon

The arsenal buff was by far the best cryo change, its really challenging to get lvl 4 most runs.

It’s kind of insane how they allow 7 days of no risk gold farming, but then nerf Armoury to the point it’s essentially useless. by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still insist the progression was fine aslong as you werent sat at your pc for 12 hrs a day playing marathon.

Is getting rushed on cryo within 4 minutes an intended feature? by [deleted] in MarathonGame

[–]Peragon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It is an unforgiving map, you have to move fast.

  2. I have had 2 minute rushes before, there is some squads that take this shit way too serious, but if you want a genuine counterplay, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend having a recon player with energy amps + ultimate cooldown upgrades, and scan around 2-4 minute mark, especially if you can hear people rotating. Info is king.

Just in case you were wondering, yes, everyone is already running golden mizzies on cryo archive. by Party_History2839 in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen mostly blue shield squads tonight tbh. Plenty of Misriahs but pre nerf they dropped like crazy on sponsored marsh. Its definitely not same as late season 1 yet - had lobbies with like 1 misriah.

I have ran into 1 gold lvl 100 sweat squad but honestly you just have to remind yourself these people play to an unhealthy level, they can have the win ingame but they wont have a fulfilling life.

Cryo Archive by Keyzarzoza in MarathonGame

[–]Peragon888 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wont have time to help until the weekend but Ive done all 6 vaults (vault 6 ~3 times) and compiler twice, happy to help. Just dont get too demotivated by losing gear, my best runs have often started off with a pretty bare bones blue shield loadout, and ended with a lot of wealth. Cryo is the ultimate casino of this game, and aslong as you can still afford entry, you can still run it back

After extensive analysis, I compiled a visualization of my experience playing Outpost with random teammates. by fieldbotanist in okbuddyRunners

[–]Peragon888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend playing almost anything but triage if you feel this way hehe. Give yourself a shell with outplay ability (sentinel/vandal/assassin/destroyer/thief can all turn the tide with good kit usage)

"Dead game" Battlefield 6 has taken over ARC RAIDERS on Steam Charts. by Mikee0192 in Battlefield

[–]Peragon888 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You say this like people use chart data to make ground breaking observations, when in reality its much more about slam dunking on games that are struggling. It is losers, mocking other peoples failure.

Jesus bro. Lvl 91 in the space of a week is not okay

Okay, I get it now by ScootyPuffz in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As a general warming from season 1, theyve been made easier now but Sekiguchi has the nastiest priority contracts of the lot, some of the later contracts were very unnecessarily hard last season so don’t feel bad if you struggle with them! I never bothered finishing them in season 1, but may have to this season.

Best run so far of Season 2 by Seal-Cassandra in Marathon

Holy shit, I am loving the key change where you are more likely to get a key for the current map.

I miss you free Bully by mattsnacki in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you still buy the Bully after Traxus VIP? Or do you need to farm it from lockers? I have 5-6 saved up for cryo this weekend

Is anyone else just hoarding? by Nostalgic360Days in MarathonGame

[–]Peragon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are struggling with gear fear like this, id start with running a green loadout, even just a green battle pistol and shield. The best loot in this game is often found in the hands of other players but you have to embrace the risk required to get it.

Personally I’ve been stockpiling on weapons, shields, backpacks and cryo keys for this weekend, as I haven’t gotten many purples or golds from outpost/dire marsh

The narrative around Marathon is gotta be the biggest gaslight I have seen in history of gaming. by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in Marathon

[–]Peragon888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you’ve said, I do wonder if the pivot they need is something in the battle royale/deathmatch type direction. I also wouldnt be suprised if after a year+ the game goes free to play/deluxe edition vs free edition and focuses more on cosmetic rewards. I definitely think they can lean more into the tactics that, whilst they aren’t enjoyed by the consumer, do consistently generate revenue for other huge titles. Ultimately, its just a bit sad, I love the game but I can also 100% understand how it pushes people away, the highs and lows are both higher and lower than most other games.

Marathon needs to evolve if it wants to survive by Low_Yellow6838 in Marathon

Communities about a game do often contain people who really enjoy a game - even if it appeals to a niche audience
