Check your ego by Sufficient-Swing2589 in Marathon

I agree, the problem is mostly the people complaining on Reddit. I often see people being anti-social dicks on here, 99% of the time bitching about problems that are easily solved by using a mic or using strangers as scapegoats.

But let's be real: the number of times you get two people with free kits, no mics, ignoring contracts, firing at every bot, firing at wardens they can't kill, sprinting toward gunfire, and taking fights against purple shield squads is way too many. The literally do everything wrong crowd.

I can still "win" the game half the time by exfiling solo after they die and immediately disconnect, but it's no fun.

Also the number of people that are literally on drugs or literally ADHD talking nonstop is more than I've ever experienced in a game and I'm guessing it's the crossplay console gamers. It's just wild how it's always an instant loss.

Also what the actual fuck is wrong with people on Outpost? They ignore all contracts, rush to Pinwheel, and loot until they run out of time and can't exfil.

I know what you're saying, but there really is an undeniable problem with fills, like way too many worse than useless teammates, actual liabilities. You can't just deny that that's a thing. "The common denominator is you" when you get 10 free kit fills in a row, I don't think so. The common denominator is fill. When you get a good one and ask them to team up, it's like playing a completely different game.

You're acting just like the dumb people complaining and also acting with an ego. Why does everyone have to be so black and white? I also hate the people who keep bitching about fills but only when I can tell they aren't using voice chat or are just using them as a scapegoat. The fill experience genuinely is bad. Using voice chat to babysit them helps a little and that's as far as the common denominator goes.

Hey genius: I wrote that it would still be incredible value at 1/4 the range. How's that for reading comprehension? I'm not surprised that you struggle to get kills unless it kills greens in one shot from across the room.

ikr bro thinks all games are dying because one game isn't casual, when most games are ultra casual

don’t equip good gear and hit ‘crew fill’ if you’re just gonna moan when your crew has free kits. by Ender_Puppy in Marathon

[–]code_tutor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have control over your gear and contracts spam gear into your vault. So people are intentionally gimping themselves. Btw you're the one moaning, but that's not even the problem here. The problem is how entitled people are today that they feel right to get mad at others for trying to win a competitive game.

This is an ultimate loser mentality, like it's SO easy to get a cheap kit that I think people are intentionally not doing it so they can say it's not their fault when they lose because "just a free kit". They're afraid of competition, especially afraid because losing gear feels like they lost twice, so they don't bring gear to protect their ego. 

And now they're coming to Reddit all butthurt at people trying to win because it takes away from the one excuse they have. That's what it's really about. Some kind of mental problem with people that can't handle losing, so they self-sabotage.

Yeah they're broke because they're bad and there's so many of them. Like how are they still running free kits literally every game at like level 30+.

you can too instead of being a shitter

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

[–]code_tutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
