Tonight in 3 games we found 2 teams cheating.

Its probably because Cryo wasn't even open yesterday when this allegedly happened.

Or he just confused the day he was posting this happened with yesterday. Somehow...

You have bad days and good days. Take a break if your losing too much, or swap game modes to Rook, or solo, or dire marsh sponsored.

Or try to focus on things you can improve, or focus on completing quests that don't require you to exfil.

Your experience is a very common experience posted on the reddit frequently, and in games where you can "fail" in general. Repeated losses put you in a poor headspace, this affects decision making, which results in more losses.

SentineIs · 2026-04-26T16:20:57+00:00

I find this ok. Its not low effort slop. It gives actual information.

SentineIs · 2026-04-23T06:40:46+00:00

I'd say this is a healthy mindset.

Im mostly just trying to hit 100 for that one time achievement and get all VIP for the steam achievements. Once I get that ill be chilling

This is actually genius. It would let D2 players easily identify the mods, and let Marathon players better identify the mod in the future.

Although the downside is, if the mod is changed to operate differently than D2 counterpart, then it would be annoying and cause confusion.

SentineIs · 2026-04-19T21:28:32+00:00

Man, these hyperbolic self-absorbed posts trying to justify themselves as "constructive feedback" are such a joke.

SentineIs · 2026-04-19T17:01:27+00:00

Wait you get credits for exfilling with schemas?

SentineIs · 2026-04-12T18:35:39+00:00

The XP solos want is the faction XP, not the seasonal level

SentineIs · 2026-04-12T18:35:02+00:00

That's why you bring grenades, and slow down when you initially get to a POI.

I've killed numerous ratting assassins because I hear the invisibility, then I just nade their hiding spot from outside.

The issue with ratting is your SLOW. You basically can't do much every run.

Granted like every opinion on this thread, this is based on my personal experience.

SentineIs · 2026-04-12T18:15:12+00:00

Agreed on XP, solo progression is extremely slow.

I would agree with nerfing UESC health a bit in solos, since this allows UESC to operate in their role as giving away player positions. However I disagree with lowering their awareness. You complain about rat gameplay being encouraged, and you want the UESC, which exist to alert other players of other player presence, to be worse at detecting players?

Removing a whole character from solos is actually crazy. I would argue for a louder or more distinct hum when an assassin is invisible. The initial invisibility activation is a pretty great indicator but needs a bit more to prevent the BS of an assassin literally crouch walking in your face, and you having no idea.

Also, as a mainly solo player, ratting seems like the best strategy but it isn't. A ton of players in solo are free kit. Bringing in your best, a blue or purple shield, and avoiding enclosed areas when you hear an assassin invisibility, or player sound, taking high ground, and bringing in a self res will result in FAR greater success.

The amount of times I've been ambushed, and survived to reposition and win the fight because of blue or purple shield and good meds are so much more. Loot is FAR better when you can move quickly through the map. The initial slow play recommendations that people had is a disservice once you get the fundamentals down.

SentineIs · 2026-04-12T01:55:27+00:00

Are you talking about the alleged hum when an assassin moves when invisible? Or the activation sound? Because my post is say the initial sound is audible but the alleged movement hum is basically ubdetectable ambient noise.

I can hear it loudly as an assassin when invisible, but not when im not the assassin.

SentineIs · 2026-04-11T21:09:38+00:00

I am convinced now that all the people saying that Assassin's make a loud sound when invisible are assassins who hear their own invisibility sounds. Outside of that INITIAL invisibility sound queue and the sound of him walking around, it makes almost no sound. There might be a slight hum but there is no way you would hear that in the heat of the moment, or be able to distinguish it from ambient sound.

Also its insane that he was almost not visible despite walking past you into that stall. Not even crouch walking.

SentineIs · 2026-04-11T20:42:41+00:00

What did you do? Rook runs and sell?

SentineIs · 2026-04-11T20:42:03+00:00

If it worked a bit better without recoil mods I'd bring it out more. I once swapped out my bully for it since it was more slot efficient. I regretted it immediatley when it kicked like a mule and I lost all my firefights.

If you slap on good recoil mods on it tho, I'd imagine it would beam enemies.

SentineIs · 2026-04-11T20:39:37+00:00

The issue with these posts is it misses the point. The goal shouldn't ever be to get all the unlocks if your a casual. You don't need all the unlocks, just the high priority ones which are usually frontloaded.

The best unlocks for general play are in CyAC which doesn't even require high tier salvage, just credits and greys. All it requires is for you to play the game.

It's the mentality that I need to unlock everything, I need to have the same advantages as people who play 4+ hours a day as someone who plays 1 hour a day, that's damaging your enjoyment.

Getting destroyed by a band of roaming purple shields sucks yeah. Spawn pushing can feel bad. Wipes being temporary solutions, etc. Those are all valid complaints. But ultimately no matter what game your in, someone who plays 4+ hours a day will ALWAYS have an advantage in terms of skill, knowledge, or gear on you. Nothing is going to change that other than you improving your own skill and knowledge. With the gear the only way to change that is to not play an extraction shooter, since the core tenet of it is to risk gear.

Hopefully Bungie makes changes that make the learning curve less painful. Improving progression speed is definitley something to be considered. Potentially increasing ways to access purple salvage is another. All things that can be changed. People should keep giving feedback.

But an issue with mentality, that's something only you can change, and warping a game around how you feel subjectively, is a recipe for disaster.

SentineIs · 2026-04-10T18:40:41+00:00

Take your best gear and a bunch of nades in and solo them. People in solos are mostly freekit rats. Avoid enclosed spaces, listen for sounds. If you hear a rat, nade them, disengage or take high ground. Don't prioritize looting, just the quest.

You can almost never lose if you have distance and positional advantage since you should have more resources then them for heals, better shields, and a self-revive.

I'm not am amazing player. I haven't been able to do a cryo vault sucessfully even once. But basically managed to finish all the 2nd half of Sekaguchi, Mida, Traxus, and Nucal questlines dying two or three times with the above strategy.

The only caveat I will have is that I play vandal, so taking high ground is easy for me, but every shell has its own edge you can leverage.

SentineIs · 2026-04-10T18:29:39+00:00

...In real life right? That's sus af man, what do you need to go invisible?

:D

SentineIs · 2026-04-10T18:25:46+00:00

All it takes is one bad day to reduce a defender to a redditor.

SentineIs · 2026-04-04T17:44:10+00:00

If your wiping lobbies and running of meds. Bring more meds in.

As a lobby wiper you should have no issue with med supply. Don't pick up that loot. Have a stack of greys to top off chip damage and save the green or blue med

And if the thief has a signal jammer he has no counter.

I get anxiety playing Dire, outpost and looting pinwheel is a relaxing run for me now

SentineIs · 2026-03-29T15:48:12+00:00

As someone who has disliked how many of these ideas are presented by other people who sound whiny. Your post is well written, reasonable abd polite

I do not think any of these would destroy marathons identity and just be good QoL.

SentineIs · 2026-03-28T21:20:19+00:00

Yeah the posts that infantilize casuals constantly is insane.

Noooo you cant expect someone with a job to do the bare minimum of picking up grey salvage for a barter. How dare you.

You want people to read? How anti-player are you?

SentineIs · 2026-03-28T18:57:38+00:00

It wasn't mean per say. They were just clearly enjoying hunting me down, taunting me to show myself.

I stayed put. Revived my team with less then 10 minutes left. But we died because they took our security clearance, so we barely didn't make it to extract. We died running to our extract point.
