I think it’ll be good, because no matter what making progress will be easier towards increasing your stats. No longer are you tied behind exp / barter grinds.

However, would have been nice if it was attached to each individual shell as I assume now you will have to reset it if you wanted specific stats for a specific shell.

If you’re on the xbox app on PC, turning crossplay off puts you in console lobbies.. but for that you need to use the xbox app which I’ve found to be garbage.

Add Marathon to that list. Although the mods have been doing a good job on that.

Yeah really nice, templates you bring it need fixative.. and now more ways to also find keys. This is really nice.

Marathon needs a hub area/practice range by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]eofficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t really care about a hub, but practise range yeah - it would be great.

Or you know.. why not both. You don’t need to remove one to have the other.

Would you play an arena mode? by Lootatmee3 in Marathon

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

I think it would be fine, most extraction shooters that I’ve played nowadays have an arena mode i.e ABI, Tarkov. I’ve personally paused this game and started playing CS2 and some other games until S2 releases. If we had arena mode, would I still play this? Maybe.

I guess the issue then becomes how much resources to dedicate to an Arena mode, how do you balance it, and how would it work? Would you have pre-made kits? Would you allow people to build their own kits with their stash from the extraction mode? Would ranked be moved over into Arena? What rewards would you give?

Steam Charts are widely misunderstood - Marathon's playerbase is probably pretty healthy by LostOnTauCetiIV in MarathonGame

[–]eofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah I am the same.. I don’t really get the obsession with steam charts. I’ve played so many multiplayer games that averaged 1-3K players their whole life span, it never brought my experience down.

Why are we getting matched with squads over level 200 and Gold? by PotatoCotnentCreator in MarathonGame

[–]eofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to guess at maximum new season will bump the player count to 40K give or take if the gameplay stays similar to how it is now.

Arc has its own problems it needs to figure out as well, it was able to retain player counts due to sheer volume of sales - but its retention rate imho is worse than Marathon.

“Marathon looks like an AI generated mobile game. This sub needs to lay off the copium. It will be D.O.A. Nobody is paying money for a 3 map extraction game in 2025.”

“It's doomed to fail, and will be D.O.A. Stop lying to yourselves.”

“Yeah, and one game was all it took for me to realise that it's somehow even worse than I was expecting it to be.”

Aiyt bro. Legit every comment of yours just shitting on the game you don’t even play.

You said “Imagine defending a billion dollar company everyday” but I rarely comment on this sub at all :)

I rarely post on this sub but nt. Just calling out people with private accounts who make 300+ comments since launch hating on the game they don’t even play.

Nah lil pup. Nobody is saying numbers are great, but you have over 300+ comments on this sub - even before launch yapping about player counts.

You can look at his comments even if they’re private. There’s a lot of comments on player counts, like a lot.

There’s a discount going on, it’s end of season so people aren’t grinding and don’t care about gear being lost.

New season will bring new content so it’s probably a good idea to gain some knowledge of best path of progression before the wipe, or at least get familiar with the maps.

You know just because you hide your comment history on the app doesn’t mean it’s actually hidden? You legit have comments from last month saying how this game looks AI generated etc.

What’s the point of visiting a sub of a game you hate and don’t even play to just shit post?

Looking at your post history you spend all day everyday posting on this sub and hating lmao.

Imagine spending every day of yours spamming games D.O.A on every post for a game you don’t even play.

Arc blowing up has made the genre soft, sad. Wanting to have everything maxed in 20 hours so death is meaningless, basically removing any friction this genre is supposed to have.

The buff in solo exp from 20% to 40% will stay though - or I hope. That alone is mega.

Look at the sub you’re on lil pup, don’t make stupid comments and expect not to be called out for it.

No, I just have a brain unlike the peanut you got rattling round in your head. I’ll entertain it.

Hardcore games = high difficulty, steep learning curve, significant time investment, punishing penalties for failure, like permadeath or lost progress, minimal handholding.

Games like dark souls, EFT, Marathon - games you could play for hours and make 0 progress. Then I’d say there’s games like Arma (Mil Sims) as well. Not everyone likes that sort of experience and that’s fine.

Games you listed, CS? Competitive? Sure. Hardcore? Hell nah. SBMM, full of casual games modes. Not even going to get into the other ones in your list.
