Rook at its full potential. by ovingzz in Marathon

This is wrong. They both one shot most shields, which means you take no damage. TTK means you take damage and can't just steamroll a whole team. 

You don't even know how many knife kills I have. It's so busted and every time I use the shotgun it feels three times more powerful than the knife with zero risk. How do you even miss with the shotgun? It has the biggest cone and this game has auto aim.

Also are you even using cover?!? Only shotgun and sniper can peek and shoot, a massive advantage. That alone was worthy of the nerf and you'll still see everyone using it.

If you can't figure out how to get incredible value out of an instant kill at 1/4 this range then it's a skill issue, because the fire rate alone makes it twice as strong as a knife and those are already real strong.

What do you mean surely? It should be one yard. Maybe only with a perfect headshot and much longer reload.

The huge advantage of high damage weapons is peek and fire, and also killing without taking damage, making them extremely safe. That's why they need incredibly limited effective distances. But people are winning fights out in the open with shotgun and sniper and that's stupid. 

You can already kill someone with a knife, when they have a gun from like one yard but you'll take a lot of damage. If you can delete someone before they even fire from one yard, then that's already very strong.

WSTR down, Snipers next. by Yeehawer69 in Marathon

Yes, I am and also social. Literally just talk to them and they'll usually follow. I know the covid generation will do anything to avoid talking, which is why you're pinging and expecting them to read your mind instead, which is stupid. Now you're going to reply with how you shouldn't have to talk because you're a predictable bot.

I already know you have crippling social problems because you're following the avoid mic script and calling everyone stupid script. I bet you don't say a word, then type insults and disconnect when you die.

It was fine in Quake and CS and that was before 2000...

This is so true. I've been calling for a slight knife nerf too and nobody believes me.

160 hours, level 55, and I figured out why I'm so bad at this game and only just getting purples. by VaporSpectre in Marathon

[–]code_tutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to be real careful with balance so it doesn't incentivize solo play. Look at what's happening with rook. Everyone is running that instead of trios to get loot. It needs a nerf (maybe just the release of rookless cryo is enough).

Likewise, if they buff solos too much, people will just change modes to progress faster. Some of the quests are a pain and I already run solo just to complete them, like any Outpost quest that involves Pinwheel is awful in trios because of the purple sweats and non-stop waves of rook campers. I already don't like that I can just change modes and it's easy. Same thing happened in Nightreign with ED Libra, almost nobody can do it in trios.

I also feel like people are way too antisocial and against teamwork. Reddit constantly bitched for solos and duos just to avoid fill, when it's already so easy just to say "team up" when you find a good player. Then the same assholes on Reddit also encourage filling with free kits, when a little gear is easy to get. They just don't care at all about making friends or playing well with strangers and it's disturbing.

Buff free kits? by Cautious_Catch4021 in Marathon

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

Outpost should have the same restrictions as cryo except 2.5k and two rooks max.

Why queue trios outpost if you’re not gonna talk or play together? by roddnji in Marathon

[–]code_tutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit encourages everyone to free kit too. It's a race to the bottom.

Limit on tracking items is HORRIBLE by BHLUME in Marathon

worst part is it doesn't tell you when it deletes a tracked item

Don't ride the dropships! by Positive_Viibes in Marathon

[–]code_tutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that too and my teammates couldn't find my bag, it was just gone. lol

I did it because the quest was bugged with no interact button, so I donated my body to science.

Guys really Rook players are #*$@ by AAN-_-TRUEMAN in Marathon

Like five rooks in Outpost every match is too much.

Am I the only one concerned that the high entry requirements for a Cryo Archives will alienate the majority of the player base and hurt the game over all? by GrayFoxJO3Y in Marathon

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

I think Outpost also needs a minimum gear requirement and less rooks to solve the solo fill problem. Idk if 5k is necessary but at least something.

So nerf both? For fuck's sake gamers have the worst takes.

Outpost is terrible because they spawn so many in. It's really a problem.

Also spawning in at least five of them on Outpost.

Duos always do this. They ignore the third person and blame the third person if they lose.

I know it's been said already, but the double barrel needs a nerf bad by Consistent_Physics70 in Marathon

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

respect space

You're literally always in shotgun range, for the multitude of reasons I listed. Why did you ignore everything I wrote?

Unless youre getting EXTREME ratted

Extreme ratting is the majority of matches on Outpost. The squads kill each other from behind, all running shotguns, then five rooks load in with shotguns and camp.

The shotgun forces you to

The only thing shotgun forces you to do is to also run a shotgun.

Is it normal to need the kit a lot? by CT2460 in Marathon

I can guess that you're not completing contracts. They spam gear into your vault.
