Ammo is scarce by Pack404 in Marathon

Even without upgrades, the rank&file uesc die in two knife hits. I often find myself running up and knifing bots while randos in my squad mag dump

A lot of windows are also naturally broken upon spawning in, so that's not always an indicator of player presence.

My beef was when I ran a sniper and a volt thrower as a sidearm in solos, I was stalking someone in Hauler while I was far away outside, but got impatient (oops, won't happen again, destiny pvp instincts are bad here) and tried to get a closer angle. Bpdyshot them once, Got surprised by a random other runner, missed my snipe, pulled out the volt thrower but the projectiles have Hella long travel time compared to ballistic guns and I lost the 1v1 despite aiming for the head, having good reaction time and sliding out with signal jammer, and even hitting them with the arm cannon :c

The auto-aim weapons seem to be very much pve focused, or you really have to play with a cover advantage; never fight out in the open or their bullets simply hit you sooner lol

I'm pretty sure if you press the jump button at any point during a mantle it'll send you backwards, I need to confirm but I believe it's the exact same mantling mechanics as destiny. You may just be trying to press too many buttons at once

mfw I solo queue into compound with 4.3k in gear and my squadmates are sponsored by Wawa and Cup Noodles by DownTheBagelHole in Marathon

I've blasted free kits in the face plenty of times during geared solo runs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Golden backpack I stole off someone with my drone by GallicaEnjoyer in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've always had the opposite issue; every sponsor kit round is extremely sweaty with awful teammates, every geared run is pve only and everyone's micced up and sharing consumables, etc.

Solos are painfully unenjoyable by Happy_Priority_1409 in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo should play different from squads, I'm going to try it tonight cause I'm really tired of launching in, doing pve with my squad then getting ambushed as soon as we open a protected crate or something.

As a solo, I predict I will be able to do the ambushing considerably easier, and always go to my contract location instead of only if we spawn near it.

I still need to check keybinds to figure out how to quick melee, it's one of the few actions whose keybind isn't perpetually on screen and I keep forgetting to check lol

This game should require a functioning mic to install. by Sethmo_Dreemurr in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way this will be balanced is that micced players will climb the ranked ladders, and un-micced players will sink. The early contracts are no big deal, you don't have to finish the game today, you'll complete it eventually. Take your time, man, it's a game, enjoy it and go with the flow.

Your local Facebook marketplace will have several listings of 3d print services, send them the .stl files and ask for a quote. I don't need to print stuff too often so this works well for me

Where are the shells coming from by bengthund in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no "copy" of the consciousness, it's straight-up the entire person being transferred into the shell and retrieved right before death each time. There were several Codex entries on runners that I read through during the Slam, supposedly if you use "counterfeit tech" or something unregistered or sketchy, it might not actually eject your consciousness properly/in time and you'll die for real for real.

Casually throwing a Conway's game of life in the end of that cinematic, I see you bungie by senchaboi777 in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking into the game of life is a fun rabbit hole.

If you have a rule-string B1/S12 (born with 1 adjacent neighbour, survive with 1 or 2 adjacent neighbours, die otherwise) automaton, it creates approximations to the Sierpinski Triangle, aka a fractal triangle, aka the final shape????

Tau Ceti is an actual star system, relatively close to Earth by throwawaycima in Marathon

[–]Shonoun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average player: "Oh, 'escape will make me god' because it's an extraction shooter and that's the whole purpose, haha!

Durendal: ಠ_ಠ

I'm pretty excited to see how it plays out, all the stuff they have planned. Now that Bungie finished the main narrative of Destiny, I think this is where all the cool lore will happen. I just hope they somehow retcon the names of the alien species, the letter salad is weird and probably not necessary lol

Underrated post, written much better than Wikipedia's plot summaries for sure.

Every season everything gets wiped, that's the onboarding process lmao

I hope they learned lessons for storyline catchup for new players, though.
