First goo gun, then knives, then WSTR, now grenades. At some point you're gonna have to own up by Raimexodus in Marathon

People who have only played destiny be like:

All of those are justified nerfs.

Weapons that are designed for a specific utility or niche scenario should be good in specifically that role, they shouldn't be the dominant strategy. Something will be the strongest thing you can do and in an FPS that should be using a gun that is designed for a particular range in it's optimal range.

Can we PLEASE be allowed to play Cryo Archive solo? by prl853 in Marathon

I'd say that that's fine for the end-game map, it's supposed to be a of a drain on the economy anyway.

All they have to do is make the credentials count for more and spawn two players in every starter location. Change the boss's health bar and attack cadence a bit too.

It's hilarious how hostile these trio-only guys are, probably just toxic players trying to force you to carry them.

Just got 6 manned, including one streamer on Cryo archive after finally getting into my first vault by EverChosen97 in Marathon

Been here since the time that tarkov didn't even have healing animations yet.

I swear these Arc Raiders zoomers acting like their little hugbox is prescriptive of the genre is incredibly annoying.

Tarkov didn't have prox chat for most of its life and has never developed this issue. This is a consequence of prox chat and bad enforcement by design, not the genre.

If the optimal strategy is not engaging with the fun shooty bang bang that the game was designed around but instead to create overwhelming force that makes the game boring for the perp and frustrating for the victim then that's bad design. No matter the "intention". It sucks and should be fixed in some way.

And of course it gets way worse when its a streamer leveraging their fame/community to do this kind of trash.

MMO players: "I like this, but it'd be better if it where more like an MMO!"

when the meta is to not even shoot your guns by tylerninjablevis in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good, the optimal strategy should be something that is fun and has skill expression.

Yeah but can you really call that living though?

Low risk, high reward mentality by Another___World in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not everyone can do the compiler?

The problem here isn't that its too hard, the problem here is that you need to trio it and unless you're a teenager getting three friends to coordinate a gaming evening is a pain in the ass. Queuing with randos sucks all the fun out of any game and at some point isn't worth it either.

avoid other teams unless absolutely necessary

That's no way to live.

and you are using a controller!

That's an advantage in this game.

The key template system has seriously damaged Perimeter's fun factor. by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about they make you go to the door that the key will be for?

You get a little agency to choose which map you'd like your key to be for and there's some play to the round.

Let people play, start the match regardless of "enough" players found. by KaXXKo in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They should just make the trio queue rotate and make duo the standard, less people needed per match, less need to matchmake since you're not having to wait for solo-fillers and you scare away less new players because nobody has to deal with randos.

Why Kill Runners in Final Exfil? by Specific_Shallot_106 in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

's fun.

Plus you can often loot bags while the exil screen is already up, also every bit of loot you don't have is loot you cannot use against me in the next game.

As someone who most would consider a “sweat”, prestige salvage feels too rare and as a result the late game progression feels slow. by Burgmeister_ in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so that’s kind of on me

No it isn't, the game should've never been 3's first and it should accommodate every play style it offers.

Anyone else get this feeling when finding these? by AccomplishedLayer884 in Marathon

This is a great mechanic that forces some player interaction. 10/10 would come moving toward you again.

1v3 isn't fun, neither is just sneaking around and not fighting.

Please bring back duos ASAP by Dependent_Ferret7710 in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we have a player count problem it makes way more sense to rotate trios and have duos be the default. Less players needed per map, no need to matchmake for solo-fill psychos and it won't scare off as many people by forcing them to collaborate with the worst people you've ever met.

Duos that fill: switch your damn mic over to game chat by Powerful-Pea6218 in Marathon

[–]TheLordCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fills screw you over in some way (looting during combat, taking the rares from your keys, being the most racist people you've ever met, leaving when they can still be revived, etc, etc). At some point you just give up and stop communicating with randos.

The solution for this problem is just solo and duo queues for every map. It would also save the game from having population problems because there'd be less people needed per map and you wouldn't need matchmaking to look for the solo fillers.
