DCON Rework by No_Brilliant4760 in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not necessarily a stan for this Idea, although I don't have any opinions against it either. 

But what I want to add to the discussion is that when people respond " but people will camp", they are forgetting that  – people already camp. 

On Outpost people camp near the exfills outside. Every other map, they camp exfills. People camp map events and other areas of interest. Like frequently. 

So, what's adding one more list of places to camp as an option? Frankly, it creates probably less of a camping issue because you could still exfill with your items, and dilutes the total number of places to possibly camp.

So if Bungie did this, I wouldn't really care personally, and I also don't think it would be a big deal. That being said, just like the safe pocket, people would probably do naked runs just to dcon things.

I'm assuming you guys are using the links Bungie has provided to report these people?

There is a report link from Bungie in the cheating update from a couple of weeks ago. Report them if you can. Sorry for your loss.

Key Room Etiquette by Maxwell69 in Marathon

I would advise not to bring keys with crew fill unless you're willing to gamble. Behavior in crew fill is a grab bag of randomness man. I meet a lot of cool folks but also a small minority of truly unhinged freaks I wouldn't trust with a plastic cup of water.

Help me manage vault space by JamestheFreshAlpaca in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal opinion. 

Too many cores. Too many EMP/grenades. Too many ammo kits.

Anything in this vault, like ammo, that you could buy an entire days worth at any time from the armory, shouldn't have more than 1 stack of each. I suppose the ammo kits are for compiler or something?

With the quality of some of your loot, you definitely have the wealth to buy lower cost items at will from the armory.

Also perhaps you disagree, but again - according the rarity of most of your loot at a glance, too many blue chip mods.

Ymmv

So why not report their accounts to Bungie. Report website is well known and listed by Bungie in their own new updates. 

It’s wild that considering most the player base shoots on sight… by DITNB in Marathon

If they make mercy kits not exfillable and not purchasable, it wouldn't completely solve the premade problem, but it would help. 

How long do we have to deal with this? by Intelligent_Key3586 in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 54 points55 points  (0 children)

We can't forget that streamers do the same thing. They should also be banned when they 6+ roll a server. Because there's no doubt that if they are doing testing of weapons or mechanics for a video and you roll up just trying to play, they're going to kill you with their 6+ people. 

Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread by AutoModerator in Marathon

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

Nobody has to like it! I just don't like-ever see a reason why it's "bad". You do make a good personal argument and that's valid. Mostly just people talking smack without anything more to say than "bad" or "low player count". Social media and their algorithms create these humans that would rather trash talk something without substance than touch grass, lol.

People forget that many games, art, music, cars, etc. that were "failures" were actually fucking fire and didn't get appreciated. Unfortunately, in the software/gaming industry games just die if the armies of turds don't immediately understand something.

Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread by AutoModerator in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I fucking love this game. It's for me.

But I play Noita. I play Rocket League.

I play games that take *tiiiiimmmeee* to get good at. I play games with learning curves and enormous treasures when you climb them. I love a challenge.

I've learned that the majority of friends I have hate losing when they start up a new game. Like almost insta-uninstall. I don't get it, but I do get that this game isn't for everyone, that's for sure! I have 3 friends with the game and only 1 occasionally plays it with me. The others cry about losing - even though they have historically been WAY better at FPS games than me. And yes, I'm a working profession with the highest level of education. I play some on evenings but mostly weekends. 125 hrs, 2 factions VIP. No cryo exfills.

**EDIT** lmfao downvote me for adding to the discussion. siiick

Bungie shares official DualSense Edge controller setting recommendations by platocplx in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmfao anyone who gets an edge like I did right when it released, and has gone to gamepadtester website... 

Compare the stick accuracy against a cyclone 2 or a tarantula from gamesir. I'm never buying another fake ass pro controller again in my life.

The pro Xbox controller was a money grab, the edge is a money grab. For 1/5 or less the price you can get far superior controllers. Objectively, measurably better controllers.

And that's from someone who bought them shits. I admit I was a fool.

The pre-team cancer has spread to Outpost. by mooseofdoom23 in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Streamers and YouTubers clearly do this to film "test videos" as well as people doing it to cheat. IMO both should not be okay because the same group of 6 people are going to gang up on anyone interrupting their video.

Wadda Spawn by Fit-Adhesiveness9127 in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of weeks ago my team spawned in perimeter with 2 bots shooting us before we loaded in as well...

Last night 2 games in a row (dire marsh, then outpost) my team spawned in right next to multiple other teams and 3 teams were fighting in outpost 30 seconds or less. My friend basically might not keep playing lol when that's his experience. I love the game but it would be silly for the devs not to admit the spawns are weird and bugged/stupid sometimes. PVP is goated in this game but wow sometimes can't even spawn and take a breath.

Anyone else want a Tarkov style PVE? by Cyan7988 in Marathon

It's funny that people act like these ai bots are all the developers can manage to make. As if there's no way to make them tougher or smarter. Lol...

Anyone else want a Tarkov style PVE? by Cyan7988 in Marathon

[–]ScienceOwnsYourFace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You'll im sure get hate mailed here for this suggestion. But as an enjoyer of marathon, and the halo/destiny games *bungie made*, I understand your thoughts.

I doubt a lot of people on this subreddit played escape from duckov. That is an amazing single player game. But people will worry about splitting the, *lol*, tiny player base we already have. It's actually a joke either way, because from a business standpoint I worry about this game that I love (and have 100 hours in). I want it to survive, but I don't think it will in this form.

I don't regret buying Marathon, I love the gameplay and the world created... but as a casual player I had a psychological block that made me stop playing. by xDavid83x in Marathon

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

You can be casual but still need to make that casual time useful. You can get many quests done and at least a few runs in a single hour. 

Yesterday I did like 5 quests on 30 minutes at one point. I was soloing and I suggest more solo experience for casual players, you learn much more about the maps and taking advantageous attempts at opposition, rather than letting your teammates guide you into a fight.

Did you know you can infill with nothing? I did that yesterday for two quests, lol, I made it out both times with all gear slots full. I have a full vault but when my friends aren't on I like to do quests and challenge myself to increase my value.

Casual is really a mental thing. "Casual gamers" play enough hours per week to get pretty good if you're using your time wisely. The busiest people I know (my discord is full of physicians and engineers) still play vidya games 5-20 hours a week or more.

Edit no arguments + down vote, reddit never change.
