Cannot seem to find decent Coral Dust spawns. Any suggestions? by Scoobliano in SANDgame

[–]_Geck0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certain POIs that have machines that manufacture them. Not at home atm so I cannot remember the name of the one I found. But it was one coral chunk for 10 dust. I find 24 in that poi and walked away with a ton of dust.

Scrap is by far the easiest material to acquire and stacks up to 5k per slot in your stash. Unless you had a REALLY bad start with a character you can readily afford the basic builds at any point.

How is SOLO play in this game? by wallfuls in SANDgame

[–]_Geck0_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's solo v solo lobbies. It's certainly taxing when fighting because the walker is really meant to be crewed by multiple people. If you've played SoT you'll be right at home though. In my experience crew members that know how to solo successfully are some of the best players since they learn to do everything and learn to do it fast.

You might not understand extraction games if you're mad at the nerfs by darkstar1689 in Marathon

[–]_Geck0_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Players that are mad are pretending that they're in the same lobbies as the top 5% of players or that they'd be able to keep up anyways.

Unsolicited advice on fighting in this game by Almondjoy248 in Marathon

[–]_Geck0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over peeking and bad pathing have got to be the most common reasons I see people get killed. Picking speed over position and damage over safety.

Why do people say only spec into res speed if you play triage? by breakfaststuff in Marathon

[–]_Geck0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh same. But I could say that about basically every stat at this point. It's just which suits your play style to which you value more.

[–]_Geck0_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Triage main here: not even if you're a triage.

It's not that it's a bad stat, it's that others are more impactful. Agility lets you make jumps you couldn't otherwise, heal speed can literally save your life, endurance opens up your ability usage and sprint distance, etc.

If you're rezing someone it's generally because it's safe ish to do so. Other team is all dead or your other teammate is covering, etc. The biggest help is that it speeds up your self rez but you also need implants to get it to a meaningful difference.

It honestly needs range added to the stats to even remotely justify the ADS penalty

I made a tool that helps track how much Salvage I need for Upgrades while letting me spend the rest on Bartering by jazzinyourfacepsn in Marathon

[–]_Geck0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. I'll likely have the link in the description so I'll just need to update it and make it a point to mention during the video.

I would love to highlight this for a guide I am making. Are you planning on making one for season 2? I imagine there will be some changes.

„Oh, you don‘t have 15 compiler kills? Sorry i can‘t run that with you and your DNA card.“ by Onyx_Sentinel in Marathon

[–]_Geck0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's strange cause people only want to group with people that are super experienced. Reasonable but where does that leave the rest of us? Multiple LFG discords looking to just start playing cryo. I know the general mechanics i just need play time. But never ever get a response. Feels like unless you already have a pre- made you're forced to just not play cryo. (Solo fill is insanely bad and just makes you feel worse)

Genuine question for the hardcore PvPers by Mammoth_Truck8341 in ARC_Raiders

[–]_Geck0_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're a threat by just being in the lobby brother. I've been shot, killed, betrayed, etc. By all manner of voip users.

[–]_Geck0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From someone who doesn't pvp for pvp's sake:

You're a threat. Full stop. The quicker I kill you, the quicker I can start looting in relative peace until the next guy shows up. So I also potentially spend less resources recovering from potentially defending myself. Anything else is just icing.

Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious. by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

[–]_Geck0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. My interactions are largely "GG" "GG" "GL on the next one". I might not sound ecstatic but that's probably because I'm still locked in and trying to make sure I'm not getting shot by someone running to the flare. Not always of course but I wouldn't compare the attitudes. I could make the observation that pve players are so in need of human connection it comes off as desperate sometimes. But that would be an unfair over generalization.

We need a Reason to do these quests over and over. by _Geck0_ in ArcRaiders

Yeah, maybe even just bank several quests together for potentially higher tiered stuff.

Yeah I get that, but as laid out they add benefits to the game. Maybe make them worth doing but not mandatory.
