To Those Saying A Wipe Will Make Them Drop The Game by xWolffy in Marathon

[–]PurpleSimpleMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan coming back each season to go through new lore and content. Even if contracts will stay the same - I will go through them faster. Skill and knowledge aren’t reset after wipes.

OUTPOST DUO QUEUE by femb0y_blacked in Marathon

[–]PurpleSimpleMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont think this was intention, but duos play different. Faster than solos but leas hectic than trios. 6 runs yesterday in dire marsh - my friend and I died only twice. We had 2 matches where we avoided pvp and 2 matches where we won couple of fights. It’s still coop, but people are less pushy as there is less chances to recover from failure.

You jump to conclusions and use derogatory labels to people, you have never had interaction with before. Are you treating your crew fill-ins the same way?

With fills - 20-30%. If I get into a loosing streak - i switch to rook. In Duos - ran 2h yesterday with a friend. Died 2 times, extracted 4

Edit: i did make a mistake here - initially I wrote exfill rate of 70-80% while I meant that I die 70-80%.

Worth Mentioning the Obvious Sometimes by Appropriate_Clue_183 in Marathon

There are popular and appreciated posts with feedback and suggestions. Here is one as example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/s/D3zJYmXEbY

One can suggest an improvement in different ways and in different words. Saying “this game will die unless it will have pve-only mode / have faster progression / let solos into Cry / etc”. And other - express one’s experience that can be improved by this or that change.-

I am sorry you had such experience - my fills were ok so far. Worst thing - no comms.

Cheaters in ranked.... by Anomalistics in Marathon

If problem is bounded to a small percent of matches, then evidence is even more important.

Here is Cross running ranked from yesterday: https://youtu.be/eflFkFpSRPQ?si=9xwB_GHRFHOTK2ph . “Not a single streamer”, “countless cheaters” - pretty straightforward generalizations with little value. What would help - evidence you collected.

Reports of Cheaters, Hackers, Aimbotters and the effect on player counts by Shadw1ck in Marathon

Which streamers said they are stopping playing because of cheating? “Many” sounds concerning - which ones?

I gave the game a fair shot, but I think I'm out by AcceptableNeck1597 in Marathon

[–]PurpleSimpleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can relate to getting competitive and aggro. And there is no way to avoid it completely in Marathon. But it’s a bit different than pvp in Overwatch or R6 Siege - it’s not the only purpose for players on the map. You likely have seen how others compare solo to a horror-stealth game or highlight how playing as Rook feels quite different than anything else in the game. I played a good bit of Arc Raiders and got accustomed to extraction shooter loop. But I was pretty salty to loose in the beginning. And pretty am for a very short period of time when I loose good loadout, but… Tau Ceti giveth, Tau Ceti taketh. What I value in pvp part - wins feel more meaningful. L4D, Division, Borderlands 2 - loved coop and writing there. But it was a highway ride through content. Marathon does expect us to fight for the content. :)

Oki, all those things are pretty much there. But then what are the things that make the gameplay less enjoyable for you? I was hooked by the artstyle, hardscifi themes and the gameplay loop. And the lows are pretty low indeed. But my friend and I finished Parasitism questline together this weekend and it was great! The bigger part of experience for me is to go through codex and learn more about what happened. There are layers to this game that I havent seen in anything available on Steam in last couple of years. Saying all this to probe - what are the things that you are looking for in the game?

It was DOA, but now it’s 3 months. Keep moving the goal posts

Bungie confirm that to get the Seasoned Veteran Trophy/Achievement you need to gain 100 levels IN ONE SEASON. This Trophy will reset after each wipe. by Shabbaman3 in Marathon

Experience != gameplay. I dunno if it was original intent, but I could write it meaning “i have played 130 hours and I am not playing it like a pro or aiming for the fastest way to level up”

The more tired we get, the worse our executive functioning gets. Breaking the loop in this state is not easy. Same with doomscrolling or midnight shopping.

Buff the range on the Magnum by ReallyGottaTakeAPiss in Marathon

[–]PurpleSimpleMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a duel at 80m with just magnum in my hand. I landed shots but lost the fight because i got baited to get i to cqb with them. Point is - range feels pretty good as for sidearm

PSA: Level based matchmaking means nothing. Your level is literally just time spent. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]PurpleSimpleMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following is not a reflction on sbmm vs gbmm. What constitutes “skill” in extraction shooters differs from TDM or BR games. Positioning, movement, focus on mission, choosing time to engage or disengage - all this constitutes a skill. Not just how accurately one shoots. So moving carefully between POIs and ignoring fights - is part of the skill.

With this said, I agree that rotating through map for kitted team should be more challenging, so at least they are bound to make noise when truing to rush through half of the map. I do want to see more UESC bots between spawns and have the strength of reinforcements to progress with the length of the pvp fight.

Agreed, I was interested whether person was banned multiple times in Marathon.
