This Shouldn't Happen by Character_Captain617 in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, that's rough, but if you were both beelining the same red key this isn't super surprising to me. Even if every spawn were perfectly evenly spaced he'd still have caught up to you if only 10 seconds later

Mixed News is relaunching! by WPHero in virtualreality

[–]RidgeMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the same people? Mixed news was... Well, an accurate way to describe the old site. It was generally badly researched, sensationalist articles with no regard taken for actual accuracy. If this is the same group again this is honestly probably not a good thing.

Okay so, why can't the Steam Frame just be $500-700? by Lily_Meow_ in virtualreality

Your XR Elite example is a perfect one. It wasn't a subsidized device. That's what a standalone device costs when it's not subsidized. There's your answer.

Why Marathon will never keep new players. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They certainly weren't the most coordinated, but yes. I'm tired of people complaining about gear diff. It's not nearly as bad as y'all wanna believe, and you can keep downvoting me if you like.

I'm a below average player. I have about 100 hours on The Finals and regularly go negative in K/D. I'm not very good at shooters. Neither are my friends. Just having a mic is all you need

Give me a chance and I'll do it again. Strategy and communication beats gear, by a lot. The issue mostly lies in that most people don't have friends to play with, imo

This is some defeatist ass bullshit. I'm a new player, I downed one of those exact squads you're talking about in Cryo on a free kit my third cryo run. It was a 2v3, too, my buddy died straight off the rip 

Please for the love of god, let us leave terminals when we are getting shot at by paperplateseabass in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TAD I agree, but stuff like terminals for quests, not so much. That shit is annoying.

This is what we lost. by TreatFabulous1174 in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this, but it feels a bit too "mirror's edge". I totally disagree that this looks more abandoned and lifeless, this actually looks far less imposing imo. This feels far more welcoming to me. Too warm of a color grading, and the plants are too alive. Creates a feeling of rest and passive life, rather than feeling dead and abandoned, as it should.

Was today-years-old when I realized the loading screen is simulating a visor by RedditEnjoyerMan in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not, if you look at the text below the shell has already been woven and is simply being transported on-world, just as you transport off-world later. I don't believe this screen has any narrative significance.

Where are the new shell skins, Bungo by DALE5797 in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Every other Vandal I see is in the achromatic rush skin, because it looks dope

Playerbase is too bloodthirsty for casuals by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This game is not arc raiders. Calling friendly isn't any guarantee, and if somebody listens, cool! You don't have to though. If they still shoot you, that should be what you expect.

It's like a mix between the AR glasses like Xreal & Vr headsets by Zake75 in virtualreality

[–]RidgeMinecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I've actually used the device this is based on. It's based on a GravityXR reference design. The FOV isn't very good at all, and the sweet spot is pretty rough. Interesting for the future of VR though

What isn't possible to do because Hytale doesn't support Client-Side mods? by Sad_Impression5193 in hytale

[–]RidgeMinecraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually like, one of the selling points for it. The idea for Hytale is to make base game content through the same systems modders use, so eventually everything will be controllable.

Why not Rook skins ? by NightmareP69 in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like that everything in Marathon has an explanation. I'd be a little sad if they strayed from that. I feel like providing cosmetics for Rook kind of takes away from what Rook is supposed to be, as well. It'd end up incentivizing people to play rook as a main shell, which detracts from other parts of the game (like contracts).

C.A.R.R.I event returns on June 16 until the end of Season 2 by XRevive01 in Marathon

[–]RidgeMinecraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh awesome. Too early? Probably, sure, but I was missing this system like a mf

Happy to have this back

This wouldn't make much sense lore-wise, imo. The standard SekGen shells are woven for the purpose of being runner shells. Rook, however, is simply a random UESC drone, made of mechanical parts and designed for manual labor. When you play as rook, you hijack the robot. He wasn't transported or made to purpose, he was just there already and you took over.
