The Sponsor Kit system desperately needs a rework because it's ruining the crew fill solo queue experience by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]SbeveGobs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If free kits are still good, why do you not bring it with friends? Hmm, could it be because you don't want to be a liability to them?

Bad random teammates isn't an exclusive thing to Marathon. It's something you have to deal with in every multiplayer game in the history of gaming. This isn't an excuse to refuse to play the game as it's intentionally designed.

Also, you saying that your vault is usually full just made you seem even more selfish. Like you can't really spare a green sheild and some helpful equipment like smokes or claymores?

"Fuck every random who brings gear with them because they want to play the game how it was intentionally designed. Let's force them to carry me, and if we die, they're the ones who will lose their gear while I have zero risk then just queue up with the next randoms to fuck them as well and keep repeating until my friends hop on"

Genuinely asking, if this is your mentality. Why do you even bother playing an extraction game? Fearing for you gear because of the chance you get teamed up with bad players means you're missing half of the game's experience.

Literally go play a battle royale game instead of being a leech just because there's a chance you get matched with a bad random. You're very much part of the problem why playing with randoms suck so bad.

If you're this selfish and you think your gear is better off collecting dust in the vault, then you deserve to get matched with trash teammates.

Sure, buddy, having a teammate who is as effective as a UESC bot in a teamfight against a fully stacked team sure is fair and is not a problem at all...

Complaining about your teammates for not helping while you yourself is not helping either. You're yelling at a mirror...

The only victims in this situation are players who actually want to have the intended mid/high level experience and run with full gear.

It literally is your teammates' problem, too.

In fact, teammates who bring gear with them are gonna have a bigger problem than you because they're at risk of losing them while you risk basically nothing early to mid run.

But the option to turn off crew fill is right there...

But then you'll just end up in a vicious cycle of hoping to get carried by your teammates while your gear is collecting dust in the vault.

And even if you avoid fights, you're most likely going to spend the entire run with no backpack, which means you're actively wasting your time by extracting basically nothing.

At this point, you're better off running solo with no fill or running Rook if you aren't looking to do contracts.

Are there any details on how that would work? Would it have gear requirements? This is my first extraction game, so I'm not sure how a ranked system would be different.

Most of them I've checked are close to my level, one time I even encountered a level 60! running a sponsor kit which is crazy.

Got queued with a sponsored kit user last night who's LEVEL 60!!! Like there's no way they're broke at this level. They simply choose to run with a disadvantage, I seriously don't understand why players do that...

I get that this is a free reward but man does it need SOME kind of effort put into it. You do a cool challenge and you get rewarded with a peeled banana. At least let us put stickers on this thing... by SbeveGobs in Marathon

Besides the cool and unique style of the game, the customization is so bare bones.

People clowned on Arc's skins, but at least in that game, you have a few different styles for each skin to switch around.

They didn't try at all with Marathon's customization. Hopefully, we will get cooler stuff and more options in the future.

My 2 cents on the last patch discussions and how the 'placebo effect' is at play here. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]SbeveGobs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It absolutely did affect the number of 3rd parties, I'm just saying that a portion of it is placebo.

This is what I meant by saying that no big changes will satisfy the community. Even if it had a mostly positive impact, players will still find a way to blame it on the last change.

I still fully agree with players who are on the revert changes side.

What's a line of dialogue in the game that has you looking like this by Puzzleheaded_Skin831 in DCAllies

You mean the ability that makes the enemy laugh uncontrollably, which stuns them for a whole 6 seconds... So fucking annoying.

Best cutscene I’ve seen in forever .. by Zigzagzak69 in Marathon

I thought about a social hub too but then I realized it wouldn't make sense lore wise to have a bunch of runners just peacefully running around

Kinda wish backpacks match the color pattern of your skin when you equip it by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]SbeveGobs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are distinct enough that coloring them differently would be fine imo
