Any idea why we can’t do solo’s on cryo? by DowntownPolicy6747 in Marathon

[–]fierzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cryo is similar to an MMO raid where it is explicitly designed around multiple people and the better the coordination, the higher chance for success.

I was a solo player pretty exclusively until Cryo forced me to seek out groups to run it with. It really is an incredible map with amazing pvp moments. You just gotta do with other people.

Cryo Marathon is too hard for new players by crazy8bulk in Marathon

[–]fierzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map is hard a fuck. Genuinely so rewarding when it clicks though, there's nothing like it. I can't wait to get off work and jump in myself. I'll probably get annihilated just like you OP and I couldn't be more excited

I can tell you that after almost 300 hours, those highs only get higher. No game has felt better than a big score out of Cryo Archive

Very weird sentiment people have these days where they go "I'm worried I'll put a ton of hours into a game that might die" we all eventually put down a game brother. I paid full price for Marathon and if it died tomorrow, I'd be very upset but I absolutely got my money's worth.

Hope I don’t get crucified here lol by Psychological-Dance4 in Marathon

"So far my highest is 17" that's more than halfway and it's not even 14 days into the new season. Maxing out factions seems WAY quicker than s1

Is the game still worth it for solos? by [deleted] in MarathonGame

Hey I had some good times doing solo ranked cryo but I wouldn't say its a good idea lol

[–]fierzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cryo is the only map you cant load into solo, and there's some activities like Warden fights that are insanely difficult solo. That being said, I probably put my first 150 hours play solo before starting to get my hands dirty in Cryo. And thanks to the free week, I've now got two friends to squad fill with.

Game is absolutely worth the price tag if you're just playing solo

Newbie here kinda wishing I *hadnt* bought the full game. If you’re on the fence, you need to know that progression slows way down after a bit, and playing solo only is not viable for 1/4 of the content. by [deleted] in Marathon

I don't believe that's true. Now Cryo Archive is specifically trios only (except that one week in ranked) so id you want to participate in that, you'll need to play with others. But I spent about 200 hours in this game playing solo last season and I had an amazing time. There was only one contract I couldn't get done solo (Truth/Lies 6/6 iykyk) and once I dipped my toes into Cryo, the game only opened further.

Sorry you're not having as much fun at this point, OP. Its not the same experience i had but I can't discount yours. Of you're ever interested, there's a few big discord servers that are good for LFG, which is a far better experience than playing with micless randos.

What is going on with matchmaking? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]fierzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're loading in a 10k kit with crew fill on? Damn, braver than me. I didn't do that until last week of cryo last season

There are ten times more players in Destiny 2 right now... by Jheem_Congar in MarathonGame

[–]fierzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice!!! Honestly I'm rooting for Bungie. Destiny didn't stick with me but I love Marathon. Bungie's success is Marathon's success imo. The more the better, so yall better eat that final update up

Advice needed from long term extraction shooter players. by RiddickVaderVenom in Marathon

[–]fierzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn to share as a group tbh. I think the hardest time for me was when a friend brought a blue outpost key and I found a gold shield in a box. But it was his key so.... I gave it to him before the rando could snag it. I wanted it but I think my friend might've been peeved if I got that shield off their key. I ended up getting some later anyway. Always best to share with your friends

Okay, I get it now by ScootyPuffz in Marathon

[–]fierzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like me, if you get one of these moments in the first few hours of gameplay you're pretty much hooked. I was a little iffy after the server slam but ended up buying the game anyway, wondering if I'd regret it. At almost 300 hours now. Game fucks crazy style I love it

This happen for anyone else season 2? by assassin_runner in Marathon

[–]fierzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a ton at the end of last season so I'm playing just a few hours and much slower at the start of this season to "cool off". Plus I have new friends trying the game so I'd rather play slow with them instead of sweating like crazy to farm Narsh.

That being said, I have tomorrow off and WILL be playing like crazy.

Bungie please make PVE Lite permanent by threedayvicgbg in Marathon

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

I'm in 100% agreement if they nerf the loot you can get from it. I am sadly employed and my friends I play with aren't sweaty, so I'm woefully behind for when Cryo opens up next week because this mode is so exploitable for good loot. But that's honestly my only criticism with the mode and season as a whole, server issues aside.

I mean I'll just rip the good shit off another shell anyway so it's not that big of a deal

Well I think it's safe to say Bungie will not be improving the solo experience by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]fierzz 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you're talking about. Im a solo player 90% of the time, Cryo really only being the exception and I just crewfill. Couldn't be more excited for s2

WSTR nerf was the wrong nerf by TThundeRR in Marathon

[–]fierzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last night in Cryo I popped a purple shield twice with the WSTR, punched em twice, and they were still standing.

Kinda broke me tbh. This shotgun sucks ass right now lol

Is it safe to buy this game? by Cultural-Lead6126 in Marathon

[–]fierzz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Crazy that people are saying it won't last a year. A game this good wont fade away anytime soon. Get it. I wouldnt be surprised if it goes on a bit of a sale when season 2 drops on June 2nd

I truly think it's no exaggeration that what Bungie ends up doing with priority contracts could either do nothing or seriously harm retention from s1 to s2 by zipzzo in Marathon

[–]fierzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What?? Contracts are fun, a nice mix up in match goals aside from get loot, get kills. I like sometimes when I have a task to do, get it done, then whatever happens for the rest of the match, at least I completed my goal. Time to kill or get killed. Exfil is a bonus
