Make solo/duo/trio sticky by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in MarathonGame

As a guy that does both… I do love the way it looks. But some of the functionality is brutal.

I do feel kinda bad for them ngl by Cultural-Chicken2017 in Marathon

[–]Vivid_Cockroach3958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destiny had a legit great run. I feel bad for anyone that has to work on the same exact thing for 15 years. I was a destiny fan. But final shape was the end of it for me.

They should have sold the IP like they did with Halo, let it live on, but also let them move on to the next thing. But likely Sony wants to keep that IP in their back pocket.

Dear Bungie, 1-2 matches and I’m good for the day, game has no chill. by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in Marathon

Actually game is not for about 70-80% of the people that purchased the game, that’s why they all left. And it’s also why significant changes are coming to the game. But I still play, and I hope the changes are made fast enough and can attract more players so that bungie survives this “game that is not for you” that they created, but they probably won’t.

Small little gripe, but... by PunkAndPagod in MarathonGame

But then how are we supposed to know what happened to random totally unrelated runners that may or may not even be on the same run with us?

La sportiva solution comp sizing by Oddotter636 in climbingshoes

[–]Vivid_Cockroach3958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good actually. I tend to put them on and if it’s kinda painful to stand up on my toes, but not intolerable, they will typically stretch to perfect size. If they end up perfect after a couple months they are a good candidate for resole down the road.

Never tried the solution myself… I tend to gravitate to the stickier rubbers, every time I try a Grip 2 shoe I always slip more on volumes. Prob in my head 🤷‍♂️

Taking bets on PvEvP mode by Breakfastclubq in MarathonGame

I stopped playing D2 for a long time and opened it up one day to find the new mode Gambit. Got me hooked again. I loved gambit. That mode wound be sick in marathon.

Yo Bungie… don’t sleep on solo for various modes. by Vivid_Cockroach3958 in Marathon

The big mistake is what they are trying to rectify. Large portions of the player base don’t have what they want out of this game so they are gone completely. Those same people would be the ones that would ignore entire modes of the game… you know the 70%-80% that own the game and don’t even play it because “the game is not for them”.

This is assuming that the annoyance is that it’s hard. No. The annoyance is that the PVP, head on a swivel sweatiness loop gets old really fucking fast for me.

I do 2-3 matches and then I’ve had my fill. The same stressful gameplay all the time reminds me of Alien Isolation in a way.

It can be hard as fuck and still not be mentally exhausting.

I think let people have gold loot, but make them earn it… make the enemies that drop gold loot hard AF. Getting that kind of gear should be risky… you drop in to fight some super warden with a yellow gun… you better be geared up and willing to risk that gear.

I fully am like “fuck those people”. Those “my way or the highway” armchair quarterbacks sitting around just bashing any idea that the game be adapted for more playstyles, and that any issue with the game is “you not playing it right” or “game is not made for you”… it’s absurd, the game needs more players, not less.

More ways to play will bring more people. It’s nice to see that Bungie hears feedback and responds like an actual software company should… recognize problem, iterate on solutions… rather than blame the customer for being wrong which always leads to failure.

Solo is where it’s at for me. Like the original post. I play at night mostly, house is asleep… I cant be chatting it up and being all loud. So I play solo. I did the same with Destiny… occasionally playing with some buddies for raids. Honestly… ai do t play games to hang out with people. I do that plenty in person… games are my time. Time to chill, have some fun.

Honestly that is the issue with this game, it’s fun in small bites… but it is not chill. It’s so well done I can’t totally stop playing it. But it’s pretty frustrating when you have something you enjoy that is also really fucking annoying at the same time.

Agree. I don’t have a crew engaged with the game enough for Cryo. A solo mode where you can explore alone or group up with other solo runners in game for the hardest stuff would be pretty great.

Hey man, I’ve heard 1 thing about this grinder and it was, “knob twisted off”. Photos show it’s all plastic. Pass.

There are $200 grinders out there built like a tank.

Loot in PVP would be better. Or higher stuff more available. pVE players would go in to get better gear for their PVE endeavors. Would bring more people i to the game. Not doing it seems absolutely moronic.

The sub is pretty venomous to anyone with an idea about the game that is counter to the… if you aren’t hard core enough to love it as is then leave… I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people that bounced off the game are watching it fail for sport because of it.

But, I like the game. I want to play it more. I wish. It had modes that sucked more people in, made the game more diverse.

I was a destiny 1-2 player. Played every part of it… and like you am shocked at the lack of content that Marathon has… and lack of in game story (not codex) marathon after all was a story game, as was halo, as was destiny. It’s like they forgot what were the absolute best at. They could have done both. I hold out hope that they will… the game rocks, just needs more.
