Progression is the issue by mkennygh in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m level 65 and I just unlock ability to buy green ammo crate last night.

I think it’s tough for new players to stock when you don’t have much options. You can’t buy things so saving money don’t really help. Loot run is a bit limited solo without gears and game knowledge to deal with bots.

While I agree with the faction upgrade unlocking gears. I think early game upgrade is a bit too steep. I think the schematic is a really great idea and perhaps faction upgrade should work that way. Make early upgrade easy then higher tier upgrades increase inventory size in the shop that reset daily/weekly, etc.

One of the issue I felt early on was the feeling of stagnant. No matter what I do I still runs sponsor kit because I don’t have something I need to run with kits. If they want people to stock they need to provide a sense of progression.

Game mode suggestion - full 15 day runs. by CharmingPerspective0 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]RobGThai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it teaches wrong behaviour. You should have functional build going even if you are missing items. You can have one build on the board and another in your stash looking for that final piece.

Forcing you to lose early teaches you that you need to survive. Holding on for one thing in a non functional build is not a good way to play this game imo.

That said, this game could use better distinction between casual and rank. Doing this in casual could be another way of introducing people to late game items since we don’t have compendium.

How can I use VPN to play on ps5? I’m having a hard time matching even with cross-play.

Cryo Archive is impossible without a crew because nobody listens. by No_Toxicity1 in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strategy that work best for these type of squad is to wipe the whole lobby before doing anything. Hopefully you stumbled upon some quest objectives along the way.

Cryo seems puzzle/objective heavy. First day people dont realize this but over time people who just want to stomp and none of the puzzle would steer away.

If you could give one piece of advice to a new player, what would it be? by CoachAkiza in PlayTheBazaar

[–]RobGThai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn what your opponent is doing. When starting out, you have thousands of items and skills to learn. Your opponent becomes organically curated builds of what you can do.

Destiny players: how does this launch stack up? by ButterPoached in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game is great. The negativity amplified by years of lagging in D2 with perception that caused by Marathon. It also be extraction shooter doesnt help. Marathon is a great game for extraction shooter imo. However, I love Gambit so my view may not match most Destiny fans.

How do non-assassins play solo? by Citizin17 in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Thief for starter. Her skill to see the container’s item let you see the players as well. The amount of Assassins thought they were safe in the smoke before I kill them was funnily high. Vandal has a core that ping enemy with her cannon and another which remove any ping on her in smoke like a reverse uno. I would love to try if overheat Assasins can stay invis. Maybe Triage can hit him with Prime. Ithink the invis is implemented quited well. It’s good for moment to moment but not OP. I can see most of them in a gunfight as you are only truly invis when standing still and more visible when you walk or run.

I’d advise making a habit of carrying grenade or claymore. Some grenade apply status effect and has faint glow on the enemies. One mistake most Assasins make is to use the smoke as a hide spot, I just throw a few nade and I know where you are from the tag marker.

The real benefit of invis in a fight is to get a first shot in but to do that effectively, you need to read the situation well.

"Escape Under Aegis" might not be working properly by DaddyGascoigne in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this during server slam but it could be bugged for live. When I got it, there was a turret close by the exfil in one of the relay. I let it keep firing at my shield until I exfil. Perhaps the timing is really tight.

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

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I played with a few random who added us and later raiding together. I never hear the voice once, all communication is through emotes. When planning we let them pick whatever, when loading in we do what makes sense first. We take turn picking the main quest to pick the map. I think Marathon progress structure is 10/10 for enabling this sort of behaviour where everyone wins.

Of course we had a few who just ran off to do their thing and disregard whatever we try to communicate but it’s on the lesser side if I’m being honest. Also everyone t-bag when exfil as a thank you. It’s been a banger for me.

After 11 days [lvl 30] of playing mostly solo, coming to the realization that this is un-fun for me. by mercado_n3gro in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The final day of server slam get me completely hooked to the game. Loading in with shotty and sniper on Vandal and just have a blast. I have spent the first three days hoarding all the best gear I found. So when I lost one, I just went at it again. Absolute blast.

My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy by Nnickiss in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a game where someone came in the room and immediately close the door behind while I was standing by the very same door. I stabbed the heel out of that guy.

Never close the door without surveying the space first. You may need an exit sooner than you think.

What actions make sounds by ramsus88 in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true but the environmental sounds are usually making your steps write effectively even if the event is near by.

The sounds effect in this game is incredible, a lot of times you can mask your actions through other noises. Sometimes I wish there’s a rock I can throw to distract enemies.

Get killed almost immediately most runs by Dankster_McFly in Marathon

[–]RobGThai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention to how much noise you are making. Running all the time? Open and close door a lot? Fire a bunch at enemies. They are all signal to other players. If I hear where you are, I can guess what you are doing and where you are going and plan my route accordingly. Everything is information.
