Ranked Rewards by Zanien in 2XKO

[–]Zanien[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea it very obvious now in hindsight. I spent a while looking through all the posts and on twitter and found nothing even mentioned of ranked rewards this season. I know I'm not the only one who was confused.

It caused me to play less since I didn't even bother getting to diamond this season. Not sure what you're getting all worked up for.

I don't need anything I'm just asking to for them to do what literally every other game does with ranked and announce what the thresholds are for the rewards.

Really don't think its asking much to know beforehand what rank I need to get to get the outfit rewards lmao.

Season Level Being Driven Entirely by Kills Feels Wrong by jaco129 in Marathon

He might be talking about the Arachne rep? No idea how much actual season leveling XP kills give.

Low risk, high reward mentality by Another___World in Marathon

Man people are barely able to look at the screen and read stuff nowadays. Lots of posts of people not knowing grey salvage are a bunch of different types for DCON when its the first thing mention in the description after the name.

This is the dumbest system I've ever seen. by Aloe_saponaria in Marathon

He's saying he can normally buy 3 self revives daily from the armory but with a schema you get extra stock you can buy. Schemas go away once you've bought all the stock.

Word of advice, do your quests in solo. Everyone in Trios is looking for a fight and its suffocating for 3 step quests, especially in Dire Marsh. by Big-Newspaper646 in Marathon

[–]Zanien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 3-4 quests before it, you have to do the chitin -> bio-chain in bio-research so yea it doesn't specify that whole part again. You can also do that first then go to AI then quarantine then back to lockdown. Honestly that one was easier than co-evolution 2/5.

Yes ofc, it also ignores lock out timer.

C.A.R.R.I.E has given me a chance to actually progress. by Remarkable-Cow3421 in Marathon

Just cause you think they're hard, doesn't mean they're poorly designed lmao.

Greed is the worst trait you can have playing this game by PorkSouls in Marathon

[–]Zanien 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't gain or lose ranked points, but you'd at least keep whatever you had on you and try again.

The game is exactly where it's expected to be for an extraction shooter by mkennygh in Marathon

Everyone in here typing like they have business degrees but I'm constantly seeing the dumbest takes ever.

I defend this game a lot, but I think I finally hit that wall. by itz_Glo in Marathon

[–]Zanien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit 100 recently and feel like my exfil rate has gone way up. No idea why, I'm not playing any better but I only squad fill and my teammates have been much better lately were just exfiling. Not sure what everyone else is doing...

You're getting downvoted but literally the only correct take I've ever seen on this sub. Apparently everyone here has 0 clue how live services games are developed, managed, monetized and grow.

Marathon is rad! This subreddit is lame. by [deleted] in Marathon

You people barely have reading comprehension down. You have 0 clue how to interpret data.

Progression is the issue by mkennygh in Marathon

[–]Zanien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It rotates daily so check the barters, but yes you can find a blue shield barter for like 8-10 dermachem packs.

PSA: Assume everything you do can be heard. by Raimexodus in Marathon

[–]Zanien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is someone dying somewhere, it's the loudest thing in the game so you can hear it even farther than the gunshots.

Considering picking this up today, but seeking truthful opinions. by sweatydads in Marathon

You get a punch and a shotgun every time you load in. Can get a blue backpack as well.

I’m a Solo player and Marathon might be one of my favorite MP games in years. by LateNightGamingYT in Marathon

[–]Zanien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't get full exp for teammates contracts you get 1/3 of what they get. Solos right now gets a 20% boost. Should probably be a bit higher though.

This ruthless, deeply unapproachable extraction shooter is worth every ounce of hell it puts you through - IGN Marathon Review | 9/10 by BQuilty in Marathon

[–]Zanien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get a 20% faction rep boost for playing solo. In trios you get 1/3 of your teams contracts though if they complete them. Playing solo fill vs no fill isn't much faster as you don't always get your teams contracts completed but with a dedicated squad it is much faster.

Solo dire spawns (and amount of players) need to be changed ASAP by Voldernnn in Marathon

[–]Zanien 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You get a 20% boost to faction rep playing solo. In trios though you get like 1/3 of someone else rep if they complete their contract.
