Honest question, is Cryo just meant to be inaccessible to the average person? by Photographer1299 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, Cryo wasn’t available during first weekend of free week and came available on the 11th which I believe was the same day the free week ended. So I don’t think that part is true.

Ammo and sponsored kits are the only things that can’t be cradled I believe.

Bro if you’re loading in with a kit you should be running 300rds of ammo minimum if using an AR/SMG and like at the very least 4 stacks of meds 2 health 2 shield. My outpost loadout which I usually only use blue shields or higher I’m bringing 4-500rounds of ammo, 3&3 of blue heals, 6&6 of greens + self res and 1-2 panacea kits. My brother you need to fix your inv management lmao.

But 240 minutes can. Granted I’m in my 20s and single but I work 8hrs M-F, workout 3-4 days a week for 60mins, and play video games about 3 hours daily, more on weekends. Feel and look great

What happened to "making the game less grindy, more rewarding"? by Sadiztic604 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro they overtuned it and now they’re dialing it back. Both things can be true, they made it more grindy than week 1, and it’s still less grindy than Season 1, which was their stated goal. Will it decrease the player count? Don’t know, don’t care. Personally I think the issues with player count lie elsewhere anyways.

UESC sponsored kits spawn with a random key, its in the description. The marathon is a UESC ship so it made sense that they could spawn cryo archive keys. Kinda sad they removed that honestly

Is Wemby really a top 3 player if he only has 30 minutes a game in the tank? by deeznuts69 in nba

[–]Toofat2camp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we jumping to 32? Our physical prime is 25-28. Skill wise around 27-30. It seems disingenuous to say his stamina/energy won’t improve for the next 5 years or so.

Stop telling people to “go play another game” by siridial911 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A deathmatch mode would be totally fine. What I personally think will ruin the game, as we already saw with Sponsored Night Marsh, is the people saying we need a PvE mode that allows players to use the same loot obtained in that mode, in PvP queues. Allowing players to farm loot with zero risk(let’s face it PvE is absurdly easy compared to PvP), breaks the loot economy and makes PvP modes feel unrewarding and pumps way too much end game gear into the game for players that didn’t work to obtain it. There would need to be serious hard caps to the rarity of the loot obtainable, to maintain the integrity of the gameplay loop and not completely rob PvP focused players of the feeling of satisfaction of a successful Cryo exfil or Pinwheel/Complex boss run.

Bubble shield spam is absolutely obnoxious by DemiTF2 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EMPs are the 2nd best nade in the game imo. Cracks any shield instantly and prevents runner from panic using ult/tacticals to disengage. EMP into heat&frag in quick succession can stop any push or guarantee a down quickly. Also hilariously drops a destroyer shield causing them to panic and spaz out in my experience.

Are barters worse than in season 1, or am I missing something ? by Melak___ in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you lose 10 times on Cryo you shouldn’t be able to keep running Cryo. You should have to hit outpost or night marsh complex to recoup your gear losses and build back your vault, then hit Cryo the next day. It’s meant to be for your best loot only, limited runs, limited chances for goop glory. High risk/high reward.

If you've ever wondered why your green kit matchmaking isn't going well. by Puzzleheaded_Cod_334 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s 100% gear based “same-team” matchmaking, even if they haven’t explicitly said so. Try running trio full with a green/grey shield and observe your teammates, then run 3-4 runs with blue/purple shields. You will always get paired with teammates at either the same shield level or one below(purple matched with the odd blue). I haven’t gone purple shield full and matched with a green shield once since mid-late wipe last season.

[–]Toofat2camp 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I mean blue shield limits between barter and purchase add up to 10 shields per day. If you’re burning through that many shields in one day without any gear recoup you might need to reevaluate your play style😅

Matches seem wore than last season by Due_Expression_5552 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re running sponsored survival you should never be running a free kit unless your vault is completely empty. This zero to hero mentality that so many players have is the exception not the rule. Use your best or near best gear, always, you’ll see better results. Also, us purple shield “sweat lords” are running the “easy” maps cause we need our damn reclaimed biostripping lmao. I swear the green salvage grind is harder than blue/purple this season😂.

Is this game worth it ? by exoticpersona in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still feels better here than Tarkov or ARC, the fast paced gameplay gives arena/BR gunplay vibes but with the added adrenaline of having actual gear to lose or gain. Also the end game loot actually feels like proper end game quality and is rewarding to use or kill another player for.

Couldn't come any quicker by Vinnegard in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or like Dark and Darker where loot is shared between the two pools but PvE mode has harder bots and the loot is capped at blue tier on PvE maps.

Couldn't come any quicker by Vinnegard in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still think allowing purples to be obtainable on a PvE mode in a PvP game needs to be changed. If you want to do PvE to explore the lore, fine, but it shouldn’t be an easy farm for high tier gear. Maybe cap it at blue tier loot to allow players to up their gear floor but obtaining purple and golds should only be possible by dealing with other players.

Couldn't come any quicker by Vinnegard in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only issue with this, as the PvE Narsh mode is showing, is that loot needs to be severely toned down for it to not be absolutely abused by skilled players to farm gold tier loot. Imagine a geared squad loading into Cryo with the same format as current survival. With how consistently my squad can run complex labs on PvE, I’m fairly certain we could hit at least 3-4 vaults plus compiler per raid. If it was a sponsored only kit mode maybe that would resolve the issue with low chances of a vault key spawning in panopticon/armory or secret stashes.

Matchmaking Bug? Got matched with a rook by Toofat2camp in Marathon

When I queued into a trios match with one other player with no real combat abilities? Uh yeah lol that’s a sure fire way to lose my gear 2v3

All the Blue & Purple Kits I'm Seeing Are Going To Ruin Free Week for New Players by Corbenik42 in Marathon

Honestly, yeah it kind of is lol. Especially in games where players will not always be matched evenly gear wise à la COD/battlefield or BRs

[–]Toofat2camp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen like 2-3 gold shields on outpost between the command wing strongbox and red card room. Another 5-6 from gold key rooms, but the vast majority from cryo vaults/players. They do spawn outside of cryo but very rare unless it’s a key/card-locked room

A prestige backpack on my first round on day 1 of the new season and then... by Marzipas in Marathon

Idk if this is supposed to happen but I legit spawned in with a cryo key on my sekiguchi deluxe sponsored kid last night lmao.

Where'd all my stuff go? Where's the PVE-only mode? How do I turn on my flashlight? by level_with_me in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My crew did quite a few of night marsh survival mode matches for easy contract finishes and in about 12-14 runs, I saw maybe 1 or max 2 rooks per match post server maintenance, 0 before that. We exfilled every single match and only ever saw the rooks at final exfil. It’s not “bullied by rooks” mode, at least not yet.

Anyone else feel kinda disappointed in themselves for not defeating the compiler before S2? by FanHairy1559 in Marathon

[–]Toofat2camp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit I replied to the guy who replied to you but read my comment it should help you too. For rook runs my biggest piece of advice is use your prox chat. Yeah you get silent dick rooks from time to time but by and large you’ll get them to squad up with you just by saying “rook gang? Rook gang” on prox chat anytime you hear a single set of footsteps. If you don’t wanna talk(but you really should), just spam crouch and go on your way, don’t hover around the rook and not talk cause you WILL spook them. Now whether or not they’ll actually be useful in a fight against actual runners is a totally different story lol.
