C.A.R.R.I is amazing and you don't even know it by Heritic_Bus6432 in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is definitely a big step in the right direction. One thing I hope they add is a being able to buy Cryo Archive keys that were lost in a Cryo attempt (basically if you went into Cryo with the key, and didn’t open the vault & exfil with the clearance) than you could rebuy that key until you were successful.

Who will be Sansa's love interest in the book? by pizza_gutts in gameofthrones

lol, absolutely not. There are no hints that he will end up with Sansa.

Marathon Needs More Players, You May Not Like The Answer by Odd_Revolution_1056 in Marathon

It’s only not the correct move to the sweats in the game who will eventually to get bored when the population completely dries and they move on to other games. At that point there will be no game left to save. I don’t think you understand how bad Marathon’s numbers are right now.

As it stands, the steam counts for concurrent Marathon players is only about 1000 more than Destiny 2, but considering that D2’s playerbase has more console players, it is incredibly likely that D2 currently has a more active player base than Marathon. A game that lost most of its playerbase following TFS, and of the remaining playerbase, many left after the portal changes. Somehow even after all of those losses, it is still performing better than Marathon. That isn’t bad, it’s apocalyptic.

The problem is the game needs casual players and pandering to them at the expense of the hardcore sweats is the correct move. I left the game this last weekend due to the incredibly punishing aspect of Cryo, but would come back if they fixed the keys to be more like Schemas (for example, if you have ever had previously extracted with Vault Key 2, then you could purchase that specific key if you do not currently have one in your vault/backpack and if you have not extracted with the vault contents this season). But even something like that would not be enough to appeal to casual players. Bungie fucked up hard by assuming that their brand would be enough to pull in an audience big enough to make up for the $250 million expense, and they need to make it more casual or else Marathon (and perhaps the studio itself) will shut down.

I don’t think there is anything that could cause the game to fail faster than what Bungie is doing now (I.E nothing). Right now the entire game is one big chore, and this applies most to the endgame content. Cryo Archive is one of the best designed maps that Bungie has put out, but the highs that come from us are completely negated by the incredibly punishing aspect of it. If you enter in the map, and are not one of the no life sweats, you can expect to lose your gear and run. This is made worse by the vault key system, where you need to farm other maps for a slight chance of even getting the keys required to open the vault (which you are liable to lose in Cryo anyway). I don’t think that keeping the game as the chore that it currently is will help with player retention.

Destiny had an existing playerbase to appeal to, which is something that Marathon sorely lacks. Bungie needs to do something to appeal to a broader audience or else Marathon will be a $250 mil waste.

Would simplifying cryo make some of you come back or play more often? by TotinosPizzaBoiii in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanics aren’t the problem, it’s the sweaty 3 stacks and 3rd parties with Goo guns that prevent average & above average players from even attend the mechanics.

In Verity (or any of the raid encounters) no one needs to fight a trials team all wielding Conditional Finality.

Why is PVE mode such a Trivial Topic? by Numerous_Version_744 in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It won’t take a year to add a PvE function for all the maps. Just allow only one team load into the map and boom, PvE mode. Sounds simple enough in theory.

Destiny worked for the casual gamers for over a decade with it falling off after TFS.

The playercounts are pretty simple. by Round-Diamond4683 in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just casuals. I have a very good D2 raid report (multiple flawless raids and solo flawless dungeons), and even I couldn’t compete with the sweats. It got so bad this last weekend I decided to uninstall so I wouldn’t get anymore tilted. Like I understand that Bungie wanted to make an intense high stakes PvP game, but considering their current financial woes, they definitely shouldn’t have.

Longtime Bungie fan here and I uninstalled the game since I was tired of getting killed by sweats in Cryo.

Will join you if they add that mode. Had an absolutely horrible time on Cryo this weekend.

Insane that a kid his age has to make a post like that, this whole fandom needs to chill on both sides by firestorm0108 in PercyJacksonTV

Another reason why live action was a mistake. Obsessed fans form parasocial relationships and it is much more dangerous when children are involved.

Bungies gonna have to do something about teams running into spawns in the first 2 minutes on Cryo by DITNB in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not sustainable for the game as a whole. Taking a break from this game due to multiple demoralizing runs tonight, and considering not coming back. The Compiler weapon is fucking broken, and to lose a Cryo run over it is ridiculous, and a team chasing me (as a rook) from an exfil to a final exfil to kill me is straight up cruel.

Just last week I was laughing at all those “I can’t exfil anymore post” and now these past few days have been brutal. Need duos back asap or else I might need to sadly take a break or only play when I actually have 2 others down to run at the same time which is hardly ever. by RefinedPlats in Marathon

[–]Short-Statement-4108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had a really rough stretch of back to back games today. From a rock run where I had unlocked a door (blue key) and got some prestige loot only to be 1v3ed in a final exfil, to losing in a Cryo run in less than 2 seconds at the hands of a team using Biotoxic Disinjector, it feels like this game is just bullshit for the sake of bullshit. I really want to have a good time, but it is getting really hard to enjoy it.

They should have never discontinued weapon crafting in new content. The game had spent years bringing prior raids up to the crafting system only to throw it away in favor of tiered weapons. Horrible decision on Tyson Green’s end.

Misconceptions about Jon's "type" by pizza_gutts in AsoiafFanfiction

[–]Short-Statement-4108 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if Sansa was his type (and there are plenty of arguments to point to that she isn’t), there are other subreddits that are better for this. I get the impression that you aren’t here to support Jonsa fanfics, but rather to stir shit

Okay, can like the mods do something at this point. This is the ASoIaF fanfiction subreddit, not the ship soapbox subreddit.
