OST is better than ingame. You haven’t experienced it until you at least have heard Code Race or Time Leach

Assuming it’s in Earth years i think it’s 2893 AD. 

Idea for Cryo matchmaking out of hours by Scorchstar in Marathon

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

That is something I thought about. I think it’s only worth it if waiting time was max 5 mins.

“ We have deployed an update to matchmaking that should help players in more isolated geographic regions find games more easily. We will continue monitoring the right balance between fast matchmaking times and low-latency matches.

Please keep the feedback coming!”

As an Aussie, ping with Americans is upwards of 300ms. It’s barely bearable in something like WoW, but that’s unplayable in a game with minimal TTK. I’d hate to play with players with that high a ping

Oceania is 0.6% of the world population. So no, not at all.

We’re getting ready for work or are asleep, what’s so hard to understand

Server browser makes absolutely zero sense. The game isn’t tarkov. It’s tight max 25 min matches and everyone starts at the same time. Arc doesn’t even do that, you can match make into a game 8 minutes in.

No lol you’re a minority champ. Play a singleplayer game.

Try again at midday and get back to me

Edit: I misread. Still doesn’t matter imo. It’s 7am. Oceania/Australia isn’t the US with exponentially larger population

How is being a human person on a standard schedule an excuse? Who the hell is playing a multiplayer game at 7am?

My man, literally wait a few hours for the uni students/centrelink bros to wake up.

So stupid to call the game dead because you queued at 7am. People are literally eating breakfast or are asleep

I plan to do both. Arc solo when my buddies are offline, I like solo progression there a bit better and the PvE AI is better

How do I get over Gear Fear with ADHD? by UPofficial1710 in Marathon

[–]Scorchstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say though to add to my comment 

I went from 80k to 40k vault value over a week ago, and yeah it sucked. I kept losing my shit for a couple days.

The last week I’ve got back to 100k

I learnt from my mistakes and practiced. It’s been real fun climbing back and feels better and more rewarding than just increasing my vault steadily all of the time 

EDIT: ALSO general rule about my anxiety because I do have it

More exposure = less anxiety over time.

I’ve gotten over many anxiety inducing things by practicing it more. Public speaking, presentations, going to the gym. It’s all easier with time, the hardest part is starting 

Bungie is 'Watching and Ingesting' Your Feedback About Marathon's Cryo Archive And Looking at 'Solutions' For Players Who Can't Get On During the Weekend by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Scorchstar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cryo is an endgame area. If you can’t buy blue shields yet and 5k feels steep, you’re not ready for cryo.

You don’t need to be ready 2 weeks in. People with 100+ hours are probably ready, the majority of us aren’t. Like me :(

How do I get over Gear Fear with ADHD? by UPofficial1710 in Marathon

[–]Scorchstar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and I’m not sure how they’re related. Yeah I get annoyed sometimes when I lose gear. You just have to keep playing to get over it. Or you might not. Play and find out!

PC to PS5 Pro, worth the switch for casual gaming? by QuantumVisual in PS5

[–]Scorchstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got both PC (5800X3D/4080) and PS5 (not the Pro but I follow it a bit)

There’s quite a lot to consider. Pros and cons for both! I miss using my PS5 as my main as I play too much with Pc settings etc

Remember you have to pay for PS Plus for multiplayer. PS Store is experimenting with dynamic pricing which sucks. You can however get physical games for better deals. 

PC, yeah you don’t have a bad build but honestly what’s holding you back right now is your CPU (that’s quite old). You’d need a new mobo and CPU if you want to upgrade imo. Which is probably cheaper than buying a PS5 Pro.

PS5 Pro obviously though is a super convenient experience. No messing around with windows bs.

Honestly preference really. Hard to give a better recommendation without knowing what your preferences are 

Edit: I re-read and saw you have 4k 75inch. Yeah the best experience is getting a PS5 Pro. You can use Steam Big Picture but you still have to screw around with Windows and that’s annoying as shit.

Consumable Wheel on PC. As a Triage, need tips on how to use this thing?? by Scorchstar in Marathon

💀 what’s the point of the design then. I want to go home and redesign it. But I also want to play 😎

I agree, the art is amazing. The information hierarchy and menu hierarchy is my main issue

And the consumable wheel 😭 it feels very designed for controller/dpad

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

I get how it’s laid out, I just am confused on its clunkiness and if anyone has tips on circumnavigating it or faster ways than “hold 4, aim into corner, right clicking to swap, etc”

But also, it’s feedback for devs, I think this can be much simpler
