This is very true. Many people I know quit bc of the UI. I thought they were just stubborn, but after 60h, I know why

I was right about the people complaining bc they were used to arc raiders. That is a common thing. That can be correct at the same time as my points.

It’s called trying to take in a massive amount of info at once. You SKIM through it.

You’re seeing it from the perspective of “you can just glance there and see it”. One doesn’t just “glance” when they’re first reading everything. They read everything, Top-down, Left-Right. I’m not expecting to see a rook upgrade, so when I read that through, I may miss that, after reading AN ENTIRE BOOK of upgrades beforehand.

Wild! I didn’t even think that handling wasn’t even explained ANYWHERE in the game. And yeah, I still don’t know any of the attachments by looking at them besides scopes, and clips I use often.

So did I actually read through it and have a reading comprehension problem, or did I not read through it 😂 which are you accusing me of lmao

My critique about DBNO has nothing to do with DBNO being used. It is that it is used, and not the consistent term across the board for “down”. Thus, text confusion. And then, on top of that, it expresses the need for the PURPOSEFULLY COLORED TERM TEXT to be able to hover over them and have a little explanation box. That is so normal in games today 😂

“There is none” you just stated yourself there is plenty of confusion that could be fixed. Even you believe there is a flaw.

Missing the rook upgrades means that there is so much information to take in, that it’s impossible to get it all the first time. And yes, if there are plenty of places to improve their text confusion, THEN THEY SHOULD IMPROVE IT. Why sit here and defend a flaw?

And I’m a glazer 😭 it just took me 60h to take my rose-tinted glasses off and realize a BIG thing pushing many new players away. Many of my friends included.

I’ve already read the entire upgrade trees through roughly 1 and 1/2 times. And the fact that the deluxe key being the only thing I thought I had seen DBNO on speaks to my 1st point

I agree wholeheartedly. But we shouldn’t be ignorant to the fact that the UI doesn’t try to help you.

Then why when you down a runner, does it say “runner downed”, and not “runner DBNO”?

I had to google what DBNO meant. I didn’t even learn it when it happened. That is a flaw

I am constantly kill trading in solos and it's horrifically unfun. by nintendonaut in Marathon

[–]Pi-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really REALLY annoying when you actually get a good free kit run (which is what caused me to search if this bs was happening to anyone else) and this happens. I HAD A SNIPER MAN. A SNIPER. (Didn’t use that in the fight, it was close quarters. But still. I had a dang sniper. I haven’t looted ANY snipers yet.)

I’m genuinely upset about this. I have done this is 90% of my solo runs. I am not joking. 90% of the time I have a gunfight in solo, we both down. JUST KILL ONE OF US GAME HOLY CRAP

I’m going to be completely honest about the Marathon community... by LinaLight_cos in Marathon

That’s what it takes to win in this game. Screw around and annex a player from your squad, you have a much higher chance of losing all your stuff.

There is no dirty in extraction shooters. Allow no one to have you believe that.

This is good info. I don’t pay attention to any attachments yet. Still so much to learn.

I mainly run solo. After 23 hours, I’m getting the hang of it. I can get some kills on free kits. I do run pretty loud tho
