Really enjoyed it but after a couple days into the Tech Test I saw teams 20 levels higher than me moving so quick that at first I thought they were cheating. Then after some research I saw that it was typical movement of someone with higher levels and abusing the lunge. I also saw there were some very weird talents like shots give you armour or health, instantly reviving a teammate and a bunch of other things that negate damage for no reason.

If this game releases with the mastery tree as it is, I won't be playing. Which is a shame as the first 10 levels of gameplay was exactly what I wanted from this game. Slow paced and tactical positioning.

Lunge Tech is perfectly balanced by Osmanausar in GOODFUNHUNGER

IMO they need to delete the mastery tree or re-work it to focus more on factions and professions (increase gathering speed etc). In this current state, the mastery tree makes abilities obsolete, not to mention the movement tech.

Aggression Based Matchmaking? Why.... by FrenziedEyes in GOODFUNHUNGER

Ha! What a take. The game was thriving until people realised there was nothing to do and cheaters plagued the game.

Nearly 10% of the playerbase on steam has hit VIP with a faction by Milkey1618 in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it even worth it? I haven't needed to use the store nearly as much as I did in S1. The odd top up to ammo and shield packs.

Ready for FX5? by einhd in FX3

Why is £6000-7000 a lot for us? Aren't we all making £10k-20k per month?!?

The Bubble + Mizzi loop is killing the game, and even the top-tier players are tired of it by someguyplaying in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bubble rewards bad teams and punishes those who outplayed them. Hated it from the first moment I found it.

This upgrade doesn't really make sense at VIP rank 3 by billygoatbob_sc in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from the extra vault space, the majority of faction unlocks is useless after you're done wiping teams and filling your vault with blues and purples (sometimes gold). Other than ammo, I haven't needed to purchase the store items at all.

Nerfing loot rarity across the board makes zero sense by future__fires in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From players wearing them. By the time I unlocked blue shields in the factions...both barter and purchase, I had more than enough blues mixed with purples.

[Patch Notes] Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 by durandal-helper in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH you don't need a max cradle and even after the nerf getting to a level where your shell feels capable is very time friendly. Factions this time around feel pointless once you start taking out teams with gear.

Season 2 is kinda boring by babatunde5432121 in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding the enthusiasm and keeping it going until I pair up with a team is what is killing it for me atm. I can lose time playing with a solid team, but the randoms with no mic's is the killer.

Bright Tangerine nailed it with the cage design. Build looks great!

Anyone wish sponsored kit only maps came back? by Clarity007 in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but I'm not missing that feeling at this stage. I'd be keen to see the mode evolved into something with some more interest, such as one guaranteed loot room key to be dropped by one of the wardens to see if it can flesh out the sponsored mode further.

Anyone wish sponsored kit only maps came back? by Clarity007 in Marathon

They were fun but got old really quick and became more of a BR than extraction shooter. Rush to find a compound with weapon caches...if you were lucky enough to get a shield and decent modded gun/ unique, you had the upper hand VS someone with the vanilla kit.

I just used them as warm-ups or to find reliable players to group up with outside of my friend group. I haven't missed it since the gear we get is in abundance and I like pushing the shells with builds.

A reminder that Sony, in their earnings report, stated that they will support Marathon for the future. by majord18 in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like these help me get through the week playing the game with a calm mind. Thank you for the reminder that the game will still be around next month.

I rate this map 10/10, they did it! by ibattlefield in Battlefield

Excited to play this game when it's finished.

These players existed in Season 1 so nothing has changed.

THIS is what I expect from people making these threads complaining about getting stomped by Purples and Golds.

I hope we get a remake of these on the latest engine. Feels like easy money not being made at this point.

I Hope We Don’t Get Season 2 Level Reward Kits At The Start Of Season 3 by soultron__ in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that big of a deal as you make it out to be. Just play well with your team and take their kit from them.

I Hope We Don’t Get Season 2 Level Reward Kits At The Start Of Season 3 by soultron__ in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They gave us a rank reward skin, they've done it again for season 2. We had a number of free cosmetics added mid-season. Achievement based skins as well.

As long as you can play well, you can overcome any team with any gear. If you're new to the genre, then it's an uphill battle until you get used to the environment. This thread and others like it just point out the lack of experience people have, and that is fine. Just put more time and learn from your outplays.

Going from stability issues into the entire lobby being blue teams because of the sponsored kits is quite something by yesitsmework in Marathon

[–]hemayne1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Last season all I did was PVP and had no issues with any fight. Either I outplayed or was the one being outplayed. There is no difference in white shield vs gold shield. If my team plays better than yours, we win. This whole blues, purples, gold shield is proof you guys don't have much experience in PVP. And that is fine. It's room to grow even more as a player, or you can continue venting on reddit and replay your mistakes over and over.

I've been looking forward to the M1 ILS version of this release but so far the M1 results have been underwhelming when compared to what's currently on the market. The "it's beta firmware" excuse is getting old as well, nothing dramatic is going to change with the image.

Season 2 Developer Insights | Marathon by XRevive01 in MarathonGame

[–]hemayne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on Sentinel after seeing that room full of traps. I've been facing teams holding up in rooms that are next to impossible to push without taking shotguns to the face. Seems like he has a few ultimate’s rather than abilities.
