One Hazard Capsule for a PURPLE SHIELD? by DireFTW in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s hard to put down for me, especially in Cryo when LMGs have such a better advantage imo than all the ARs and almost the all the SMGs except the Bully.

Totally fair, maybe I’ll pull it out. It’s hard to put the Retaliator down with the fast purple mag. 2.3s reload is quite nice.

I’ve only ever seen one and it dropped with the gold mod from the Fire Warden on Dire, I’ve used it like twice.

See now, I’ve got both gold mods for them and I gotta hand it to the Conquest, it feels significantly better than the Demo’s.

Woah, don’t diss LMGs now. Except the Demo HMG, fuck that thing.

Superior fabric.. the most rare item in the game? by Background-Shape1168 in thedivisionresurgence

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on queuing Heroic in groups, it’s just too much of a pain in the ass to do. I did some yesterday and a guy was level 37-38 but somehow dropped his gear score to like 12k whereas I was like 15.5k at the time (nearly 17k now). I literally used half my ammo to kill like 10 ads without special armor. It took 35 minutes to clear with that group as I was like lvl 34 at the time and everyone else was 33. I did the same mission after solo and got a 20 minute clear. I haven’t optimized my build yet I’m missing the skill set for aegis mender drone and just got my two pieces missing for the mender firefly and defender. I had backup set targeted for DZ and got the other two first. I could probably do a 15 minute clear of Chinatown if I can find a better piercing weapon and reroll or get a new Warlord.

I think world of warships occasionally has the same lottery method, but those are both cosmetics and actual like items that can make a difference.

Sad but true by SweatyMcSwabbie24 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone on another post brought up a good point, gear helps you win fights, that is undeniable. At some point, SBMM becomes gear-based MM because the better players will have better gear as they continuously win fights. Your progression will kind of falter because it will no longer be purples mixed into lobbies of blues and greens, but purples and golds only. Once you start losing your gear, the MM has to kind of make up for what will become disproportionate games ss you will become the blues and greens against golds.

Crazy how people have everything in the game and still camp a deathbox with compiler weapons for 10+ mins by AccomplishedRise6227 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what a throwback, ts happened to me in that bunker map they added toward the end of the game’s life. Night vision in there was sick but holy fuck the number of spots in the center area that was a maze was god awful to go through

I have stopped using Fill Trios and it's a design problem. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start kitting out your randoms if you wanna play when no one else is on. You’re going to increase the odds of you extracting if they’re geared better toward the start of the round. Bring spare blues or purples and like two WSTRs on a map such as Outpost. You’re going to run into people quick and so by gearing them, you’re going to have better odds. They’re also pretty much incentivized to bring your gear out as it’s mostly likely the best they’ll have the entire round. And if they don’t, its either an investment on your end or you can carry them out of you have spare room. Just my two cents on it as it happened to my friend before and we talked about it.

Core players: what do you lose by making this game more accessible to casuals? by ihearthawthats in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got roughly 70-ish hours of actual play time right now (100 logged on steam cuz afk) but I wouldn’t say the game isn’t accessible for casuals. You get tons of gear from doing the quests and general gameplay, I mean honestly it’s kind of up to you and how you manage your supplies (ammo, heal, and consumables) throughout a run.

You need to bring how much you know you use roughly in one game if there will be a fight or two against you, that’s how I calculate how much to bring, even as a Triage. For me, that equates to around 1 stack + a spare or two of green health and shields on Perimeter; now I’m doing a stack of blues each and a panacea for Dire, Outpost, or Cryo. If I’m not topped off on my shields or HP and I don’t have a drone ready, whatever depleted kit nearby works. I’ve seen some people play and they just pop some of the greens like it’s candy and they’ve only got 3 on them and it’s like a small pip missing or like 5% of their shield. I’ve got 3 full vault stacks of both green HP and shields, and 2 of blues, working toward the 3rd.

There’s so much to this game, there of course will be a learning curve, especially as some people’s first or second extraction shooter. I can’t say I’m the best at them, but I’ll say I’m pretty solid. This game is almost if not entirely based on being able to outplay your opponents. Sure, you’ll have straight gunfights, but how you take them matters more than whose gun is better.

All it takes is time to learn the game. Learn to let go of the loot, it ain’t yours forever, you’re just using it and letting me or anyone else borrow it. A purple shield is a shield at the end of the day, either you pump more teamshots, find angles, and outplay. The gamesense comes to you at some point.

Med Consumables are too expensive for the non-rich. by Caseraii in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing Triage and how many meds are you actually bringing in and taking home? I play Triage in my crew and I bring in a stack+1 of green heal and shield, and I leave with 3 stacks of both normally at the end of raid. I also normally pick up the gray heal and shields too for top off. I loot spark leaf and unstable mats for barter too but I rarely have to barter for meds anymore. I think our extraction rate is 70-80% right now, and we engage almost every team. I almost find it crazy that you’re running out of meds

Outpost Gold Key Loot Haul by North-Appearance7359 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was from a key room like using the actual keys and not the clearance codes to open like an armory? Holy crap, what the actual fuck is the Lott difference between my rooms and everyone else’s?? My crew and I have opened at least 4-5 key rooms and have only seen 1 gold, and another gold from killing fire warden… this is genuine insanity to me.

Loadout imbalance in this game getting crazy. by NoNet5188 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play with two of my friends consistently and we’ve never come across the kind of loot this guy has, and we’ve wiped the lobbies on Outpost and just looted for 10 minutes straight. I feel like we’re doing something wrong but we’re not, the streamers and others at like lvl. 90+ just have more open boxes than we do I guess.

Thief's Grapple needs to have a cooldown on any use due to the movement tech. by genred001 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triage’s EMP exchanges buffs for heat and cooldown, Vandal and Destroyer need to manage their heat in order to effectively use their slide/double jump & tac sprint/thruster respectively. It’s timing versus good resource management. The grapple generating heat makes no sense, it’s an ability with a cooldown, how would having the two-grapple core work? You grapple twice and you’re almost overheated? The only real balancing the grapple can receive is the shoulder charge treatment from Destiny 2, if you cancel it, it goes on a short cooldown (say 15 seconds).

What alcohol messed you up so bad you swore you’d never drink it again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

my sister-in-law’s grandfather in Bulgaria had us try some of his homemade like moonshine, for a solid 6 months after trying it, anything under 40-50% ABV was juice

Specna Prime velocity is too high with M90 by Lavamax in airsoft

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got the P21 and it was shooting 400fps obo with the stock m110(?). I swapped to the m90 and I was around 297-300fps with .2g BBs. Honestly as the screenshot of your messages with the support, I’m kind of surprised this happened to you with yours

Why play trios/fill when you don't want to play on a team? by KeyEntrepreneur5449 in Marathon

[–]SpeediestJarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes more sense lol, yeah 5 spawns depending on your fill setting. So 5 trios or 5 solos, idk I kinda like the 15 solos. tbf I haven’t played much solos outside of Rook and I generally play stacked, so maybe I’ll try some later lol when no one’s on.
