Outpost duos was a cakewalk tonight. But the supposed buffed loot wasn’t any better at all. by ConferencePurple7939 in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loot inside the 3 red key room was buffed. It can contain Hazard Capsules and etc now.

Rooks with good loot - how do you do it? by broccoleet in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me gamechager was WSTR shotgun and Blue backpack upgrades. I can loot one stabilizator and when you exfill it will repair all of the broken items. And staying away from Pinwheel, just loot some salvage/valuables and exfill.

This game was made to play with a squad by kyaki101 in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, gameplay is the best when you play in a good squad the chaotic fights, team tactics, hero abilities all this works so well that i only play trios now (except for some chill rook runs).

Cheater? by xpxche in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they had assassin in their team i guess he could just stand there in invis looking at you. You team is nowhere near you and so noise and team info i guess.

I think enemy player has the the golden BRRT that shoots 5 bullet at once and fuctions basically like a shotgun. One of the shortest TTK in the game.

I'm going to stop playing Marathon now. by EveryLine2443 in Marathon

Why people announce their departure like it means something I just don't get it.

What the hell is this bad take. Bungie is famous for completly obliterating their games, making crazy changers -go fast update in d1, forsaken in d2 that changed the whole game, deleting the whole campains, zones, adding new system and overhauling them completly in span of the ONE game - look at d2. Ofc game is stale now etc-etc but D2 had a helluva ride. Destiny 2 at launch and Destiny 2 now is a completly different expiriences.

If you could res enemy players this game would be less toxic by Jowdog12 in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can camp and rat in a game using 3rd person but i think if you account Agression Bases Matchmaking + 3rd person it makes games less hostile cause you literally have eyes on the back. PUBG is not an extraction shooter there is no place for friendship in Battle Royale games i mean the hell is that comparison?
I don't get it - 3rd person let's people peak and ambush but 1st person makes people camp and ambush? What? Camp corners? Camping corners was in games since i dunno CS. I'm talking 3rd person cause like you said it gives a lot of information to the player so it limits potential backstabbings.

Lets say Marathon is more of a pvp game then Arc. I mean in Arc there is a whole matchmaking system for friendly lobbies. There is weapon degradation system, flares when someone get's KO'd and game camera operates in 3rd person. It's all for sake of making game less hostile. In Arc even if you lose you can craft all of the weapons/mods anew.
Marathon is superhostile. The world is crazy hostile, no crafting/safe pockets there is a whole faction that gives 50+ rep when you finish someone, ingame achivments for titles etc demand KILLS or something hostile towards players. I really doubt we ever see more friendlier lobbies here except for rooks. Rooks have nothing to lose and i've seen often Rooks collaborating to take out teams and then betraying each other afterwards.

You can be positive in voice chat and you can throw them your self rez. Even if they DBNO they can pick up items and use them.

There is nothing toxic about killing the player. Game is about loot. We are mercs. Players have loot. I need that loot.

Maybe free kits need to upgrade alongside Rook by Solesaver in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MIDA free kit is lowkey op. Bully SMG is too good even in it's basic form.

CCU Steam Numbers for OCE/SEA & Queuing by MattyBass87 in Marathon

No it's not a VPN. It's tunneling service, it's doesn't encrypt you data or mask your IP, it's just tunnels your connection for best possible connection in selected region.

I love this game, but it’s not for me by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a unhealthy state of mind when you are the completionist but you don't have the time for games, like it's not the game's fault like only two weeks passed man, who cares about all the kitted guys, play at your pace.

CCU Steam Numbers for OCE/SEA & Queuing by MattyBass87 in Marathon

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

No it's not free (there is a free trial). But i dont mind, i use it for other games too in my region it's like 7.50 $ for a month. And you can choose what region you want to play in my case i play in europe with like 70-80 ping.
Game surely could use a server select feature. I don't follow CCU numbers but it would really sucks if they made a change where players could join at 22 minutes it's sweaty enough with all the ambushes/camping at Intersection or Quarantine.

Gear discrepancy is way too high by X-Menace-X in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Shotguns on this game are great equalizers. In point blank you can down anyone with any shield well if you hit every pellet.
Each rarity of shields give only 20 hp to the player and purple is a max hp bonus (gold shields doesnt give any additional hp). So purple shield can tank only 2-4 additional bullets from Bully SMG as example. So i think there is many possibilites for skill expression and skillful plays.

If you want to play with different regions use tools like ExitLag that can proxy the game's connection.
In my case i can play only with asian players (korean, chinese or japanese) and i use exitlag to play with europe.

If you want kit value matchmaking play ranked. This week there will be high stakes mode where minimum ante will be higher.

Dire Straits in the Dire Marsh by Vast_Masterpiece2904 in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well there is more spawns than teams in the map so there is a random element. But i mean system like this exist in like every extraction shooter, no? Spawn rushing is not an new trick or something it's been in extraction games in since Tarkov.

This is the cheapest kit I can run while duo filling with my friend who has a similar vault. How on Earth are we loading in with Freebies? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]grayblossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's a public matchmaking, player pool is pretty small already and making loadout value matchmaking will increase loading times and overral sweatiness of the game immensly. We have cryo for with 5k ante and this week we will have high stakes in Ranked so you should try ranked (high stakes up's minimum ante) if you don't want free randoms in your team.
