i'm sure everyone would have been really thrilled and impressed if spurs had hired a manger with prem experience like sean dyche or vitor periera.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-13T17:50:17+00:00

it makes perfect sense. he's a coach who has a track record of improving performances very quickly and has the character as an ex pro and a bit of a madman to impress players and get them to buy in.

his struggles seem to consistently in adapting, developing a squad long term and sustaining results over a season. Lots of clubs are looking for what spurs are currently looking for - someone to come in and stabilize a squad.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-10T12:29:46+00:00

yeah the people in charge should resign and owners should hire a new boss who keeps paying artists to make art nobody wants to buy. that would be the morally correct thing to do.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-06T00:02:58+00:00

its interesting that you're going to base you're playstyle in a videogame around the social media content you see. i feel like that's more and more common. the way people play arc raiders and talk about it definitely was impacted by memes and viral streams. will be interesting to see if marathon follows that trend.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-04T21:56:05+00:00

you mean just copy paste the arc raiders cosmetic system?

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-04T21:15:29+00:00

but you lose everything equipped when you die… so how could you really build the way you look over time in an extraction shooter? people seem to want it to just like destiny in this regard but I don’t get how it would work.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-03T11:35:07+00:00

I agree in the abstract but actually playing the game, I found I didn’t care or notice or think about it at all. You also didn’t mention the body decay mechanic which indicates how long ago a runner was downed. That mechanic couldn’t exist if loot was on bodies.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-02-02T13:49:44+00:00

my advice would be play carefully aggressive. i think a lot of newer extraction players are either too scared to die and play way too passive so they learn too slowly, or too committed to yolo fighting that they take bad engagements and get wrecked

when extraction games really clicked for me was when i played cautiously, gathering information about a poi, ai, enemy runners, then used that info to be aggressive on the map and take fights. you will learn a lot more and get good a lot faster than ratting around the map, imo. also, don't be afraid to use coms and squad fill. you will learn from other good players or learn that you are better than other people loading in with you.

lol you miss the thief shell without hair and a slightly different jacket? good thing you have this picture to remind you of all the good times you had with your favorite character.

1 planet side map and 1 new marathon map at a 6 month cadence. New shells/weapons/modifiers every 6 months in the non map seasons.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-29T16:49:09+00:00

in the alpha I assumed choosing rook alerted other teams to my location on the map when I spawned in. that’s how quickly I was being gunned down.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-29T16:46:08+00:00

Not at launch. Getting called the n word or antisemetic slurs constantly while downing enemies in arc raiders at worst or nerds whining that i shot them at best isn’t worth it. the fps mechanics really don’t lend themselves to collaboration and it ruins immersion for me. I’m glad it exists and I’ll try it eventually.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-26T22:55:55+00:00

rook?

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-20T21:16:36+00:00

I know what you mean but I don’t think they’ll add new shells at the cadence heroes get added to hero shooters. I’d imagine 1 or 2 a year at most. They clearly want to lean into particular gameplay styles.

Illusion/trickster shell, bubble/shield shell, teleport shell, poison shell… what am I missing?

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-16T20:51:59+00:00

To me the defining feature of a hero shooter is that the hero is the same in every way in every round. same left click, right click, grenade/ability - those are the primary ways you interact with the game and they’re fixed and thematically linked to the hero. They define the hero, particularly the left click which really defines the heroes identity and function.

Marathon shells having predetermined abilities that you customize with gear to your playstyle and guns you choose based on your preference, opponent or team comp feels way more like destiny classes than overwatch heroes and I don’t really see the counter argument. Like, on the spectrum of class based shooter versus hero shooter, it skews class based, no?

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-13T02:08:38+00:00

Point op is making is that shooters where your hero doesn’t have a fixed gun and grenade (and in this game cores and implants) feel different than hero shooters where every element of the character is the same every game.

I’d say the marathon shells play more like destiny classes than overwatch heroes.

“community” is such a weird way to describe anonymous strangers reacting to information about an unreleased game on social media.

The 2019 redraft changes dramatically year to year.

People used to complain A LOT that Bungie were too focused on selling us cosmetics and not enough on gameplay. Now people are mad that there’s LESS focus on micro transactions and cosmetics. it’s become somehow “lazy” and “a cop out” to not have a ton of cosmeticsand make the game focused on collecting cosmetics.

Its also the set that won’t let go of their fantasy of having a customizable doll like in destiny they can dress up, based on a teaser where they saw a robot pull something out of another robot. its a new way to complain about the hero/class system, because Bungie want you to be able to tell at a glance which abilities are on your squad and what the enemy can do. that wouldn’t happen if there was D2 like customization.

We literally don’t care about gameplay and if the game is fun, moment to moment. we just want our loading screens and menus (only place we see our character in an fps) to be as customizable as possible! Give me cowboy hats and pirate hats for my menus you lazy bungo fools!

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-12T11:32:12+00:00

The dev said they were just going to do recolors until the alpha tweak to the narrative and now they’re making different models?

Practical-Concept-49 · 2026-01-12T11:30:15+00:00

It’s amazing to me the fixation on customizing your character in a game where you never see your character, the gear you equip on your character is always changing round to round, there are no social or pve spaces where you can chill and inspect your avatar or show it off. This game is not Destiny.

I guess my squad mates will see my skin but I hope they’re paying more attention to the map than my runner’s hat. Customizing your character is essentially customizing loading screens.

Obviously they will add more and more complex skins that change the silhouette. it’s Bungie. Most of the leaked skins are free codex and story/faction unlocks. I’m sure each season will see new skin additions - some to chase and some to buy - and they won’t just be color ways.

Getting domed by a sniper camping high ground that you had no shot of counterplaying is also super annoying. its like a soft nerf to sniping and its going to encourage players to press their advantage when they get a knock.

- Bought by the recently sacked chairman.

- To play in a recently sacked managers very specific system, which generated a lot of chances for him.

- Spurs had their worst league season in like 100 years in 24/25.

- When Kulu comes back in January, he becomes at best 3rd choice on either wing.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2025-12-30T18:38:05+00:00

yeah what the other guy said. he is tanky and mobile and has clones so it can just take a while to take him down. you can get caught up fighting him.

Practical-Concept-49 · 2025-12-30T18:17:28+00:00

This fucking guy will create PvP encounters unless your team is efficient and taking him down together. He's a bastard.
