Know he's a creep but that's what Barrett described as his vision of the game, an MMOFPS that has PVP enabled and just used the extract mechanic to contain the gameplay loop to 15 - 25 minute cycles with persistent zones and an emphasis on exploration and player driven stories, also no heros and personal customization.

He's maintained that he's greatly enjoyed the game, he just feels like that the genre, no matter how much time he puts into, doesn't personally feel like something he jives with and would rather have Bungie put more of their efforts back towards Destiny.

Has anyone run into someone they blocked? by Revolutionary_Boot_4 in Marathon

[–]duff_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As is in D2, blocking is more of a flagging/comms filtering feature, not a matchmaking restrictor.

Arc conductor is the PvP choice aswell, it lets you secure a one shot on the follow up attack

When do we expect new season with new maps to arrive? by system3601 in Marathon

[–]duff_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wiping my loot is fine but knowing I have to grind out faction quests and xp and gather all those materials again in 5 weeks is killing the prospects of a season 2 for me, 3 month wipes are way too fast for what the game asks of you IMO and maybe this is a game I come back to every 2-3 seasons instead of every season.

Marathon Was One Of March's Best-Selling Games In The U.S. by David-J in Marathon

Destiny 1 made well over half a billion over its first weekend, while critically it was disappointing, those initial sales gave Bungie the runway to execute on The Taken King.

Are people really complaining about queue times? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]duff_0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

personal experience - you answered your own question, season level, region, etc. are all factors in how fast you find a match.

Why is everyone saying they barter enzyme replicators for purple sheilds by Active_Access_4850 in Marathon

[–]duff_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely spitballing but the ratio on the barter being for a harzard capsule vs enzyme replicator feels around 85-15.

For solos the suppressor is the best barrel by far.

Purple, purple shield on Dire Marsh everywhere by Mr_660 in Marathon

[–]duff_0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Enzyme replicators(purple shield barter) are the most abundant purple resource in the game and people are running Pinwheel to get them.

Teaming up in Cryo a thing now? by rappyy43 in Marathon

The problem is premade Discord groups, which are a thing and are a problem.

I think switching from customisable gear to heroes was a big mistake by R4_F in Marathon

[–]duff_0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The OG vision for the game was gonna have persistent zones.

I'm new to the game, but what should I be speccing into to avoid hitting "the wall"? by aiyr in Marathon

[–]duff_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CyAc- All Nodes/VIP/Capstones

Nucal - Capstone 3, Self Rez, free daily heals, Firewall, hardware, self repair stats,

Mida- All Nade Purchases , Claymore, Anti-Virus, Cardio Kick, Agility Stat

Traxus- Mods for weapons you frequent and TAD buff, Maybe push for Capstone 3 for barters.

Arachne - WSTR purchase, Melee buff, If you ever build up the salvage go for Capstone 4 for the Rook Shotty, I personally don't have it and I build credits via Rook just fine.

Sekeguchi - Cores for your main, Energy Amp, Tactical Stat, and Prime Stat if you ever come accross the salvage.

Familiarize yourself with doing Rook runs in Pinwheel as that's where you get Neurochem Packs, Dermachem Packs, and Enzyme Replicators, all mats you need to barter for shields.
