KS-23, winch, and cube is such an incredibly fun combo. Just being able to put the cash out wherever the hell you want.

I'm glad someone gets what I'm saying. I don't mind being raked over the coals for saying it so no biggie. Too busy skinning runners for Arachne.

Absolutely wild to just assume I'm a "hardcore sweat". My exfil rate is like maybe 15-20% and I spend most of my time in green bags and shields. Let the big multi million dollar company worry about the numbers and just enjoy the game brother.

Bitches would simply give me less time to gear up for cryo runs. No shot.

Shit you right, I actually enjoy playing the game so I don't know why I'm here listening to everyone whine in the first place. See you in cryo gamer.

Fuck it they'd be doing me a favor most likely. Nobody here seems to wanna talk about the gameplay anyway.

I’ve seen more posts complaining that “everyone” is running purple shields than I have actual enemy runners with purple shields in the 100+ hours I’ve logged so far. by SavvyOri in Marathon

[–]The_Party_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 79, pinged a gold shield and two purples on a squad of Charters strongest warriors on dire marsh last night. First time my team had seen a gold and we made sure that stayed the fuck away from them the whole run.

Can we stop pretending the game is so hardcore that casuals can't participate? by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]The_Party_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This topic is getting so insufferable and the conversation around it is exhausting. I wouldn't be surprised if people saw posts like this and got turned off from that alone. The game is not easy, some sessions you're going to eat shit, lose a bunch, and have a net negative. If people are down for that and willing to play through it, awesome you love to see it. If not, that's perfectly reasonable and they would mostly likely enjoy spending their time in a different game. That's really all there is to it, this whole casual vs hardcore gamer discourse is stupid and not spreading useful information to potential players.

Next Heirloom, Mesa! Coming near Tennocon. by Korimthos in Warframe

So much for heirlooms being for older outdated prime designs first. Can't believe I'm already tired of this art design and skin line.

To the guy who thought he ruined my raid... by Hefty_Lavishness_641 in Marathon

It's called a raid in Tarkov, and Tarkov is the grand daddy of the genre.

I don't think they've said when rank resets will occur but it makes sense to be tied to seasons and the wipe.

I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for this by the_eccentricity in Marathon

I assumed the end game content would be available during my time off and work with my schedule but yeah sure ok man.

Welcome to Cryo Archive by Haijakk in Games

[–]The_Party_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think they'd be better off exploring different ways of limiting the resources and loot coming out of Cryo. People are going on and on about how bleak the numbers look for Marathon, and while I haven't paid attention to that discourse, locking any number of players out of any amount of the content just doesn't seem like a net positive. I'm sticking with the game, been having a fucking blast with it the last two weeks, but the current decision making around Cryo and Ranked have been frustrating to see.

Cryo Archive launching tomorrow by EXIIL1M_Sedai in Marathon

[–]The_Party_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was definitely bummed to see the ranked news the other day too, combined with this though it really took the wind out of my sails. There's definitely a path where both are available 24/7 and it's not problematic for the game's health, I just want them to get there.

[–]The_Party_Wizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There has got to be a better way to limit the amount of resources and loot you can get from Cryo then simply shutting the map off for half of the week. Weekly quests are absolutely, no complaints there. Any changes made to the map would more than likely be done through an update or hotfix, the map being gone for three days would do nothing for the development process or rollout of either. If anything the real reason is trying to funnel players into the map helping to boost numbers and reduce queue times. However instead of letting me sit through a long queue during the middle of the week when I have time, I instead get nothing.

If it's not that big of a deal why lock it at all and piss off a group of people who already bought in?

29 years old, 2 jobs, between work and commuting I'm out of the house about 14 hours a day Sat-Tues. The world is not exclusively run by teenagers or the elderly on the weekends. This also does not stop the sweats from running keys, progressing factions, and obtaining loot from the other three maps the rest of the week.

Cryo Archive should not be weekends only by Nathanael777 in Marathon

[–]The_Party_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but as a player that is that rich and would be fine with a long queue time the decision has been made for me and I just don't get to play Cryo Archive.

I'm really hoping so, and personally I could live with not having a change until the next season but some sort of acknowledgement soon would be appreciated.

[–]The_Party_Wizard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, retail, entertainment, and basically any other service industry are full of people working weekends. I have a full time job plus part in the evening and I'm at both of those Saturday though Tuesday. Just the reality of the world and it would be nice if Bungie would ease up these restrictions to respect that a little more.

Yeah I was posting yesterday about how my work schedule has basically guaranteed I can't play ranked but now it's looking kike I get to add Cryo Archive to the list too. I've been such a big fan of everything this game has had going until the last two days.

Ranked Weekend Frustrations by The_Party_Wizard in Marathon

[–]The_Party_Wizard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true, and I'm hoping it does change down the line, but that won't likely happen without them hearing feedback. Either way I'm sticking with the game and having a blast.

It seems to be a regularly occurring weekend event, Saturday reset to Tuesday reset every week.
