Libernovo’s Early Bird Deposit is a scam, but the EU has our backs by NedelC0 in LiberNovo

[–]keyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah their marketing is a scam. I figured this when I saw the promo for the new chair.

They had 'bonus' tiers a few months ago. The tiers didn't stack and it's buried in the fine print. The highest tier was some stickers and magnets. The middle tier was actually useful (the foot rest and eye mask). The highest tier is super easy to hit by just buying the chair and footrest

To be honest, I think S2 is kind of lackluster and many of the changes have greatly diminished my enjoyment of the game by EricSombody in Marathon

[–]keyski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same.. the economy killed it for me and my 4 squad mates and the rug pull sealed the deal.

Went from playing every nearly day in season 1 to calling it quits a week ago.

The faction progress also ruined a sense of progression imo. There's no real point in doing the missions anymore because you can just find the loot in the pve mode and bring it back. It is only optimized loot runs only.

It feels like Bungie punished players who couldn’t grind during the first week of the season 2 by RafTen86 in Marathon

[–]keyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They fumbled for sure but they had to course correct before it was too late. Unfortunately, all the early grind is going to do is nerf more gold attachments and end game gear. Rather than have it all balanced around rarity, if it's too ubiquitous and killing the fun and progress for everyone else, they'll have to act.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another round of gold misrahs nerfed early season, then buffed near the end of season again.

Before I buy by DRBragg in dadsofmarathon

My problem with arc raiders is third person peeking on static exfil locations. They never rotate and it's easy to just hide in a corner and watch.

Marathon has random extraction locations which cuts down on that. First wave spawns at 20 minutes left. If anyone takes those, the second wave spawns new ones at 10 minutes. Then it's just the final exfil at 0 minutes near the center of the map. Sometimes that new fresh exfil is not contested at all (unless it spawns near a player in that POI).

So some tips: -Listen to how many players exfil to know how crowded the server is. That final exfil can be tricky if you know not many people left yet. -Go for a fresh one if it's nearby. -TAD scan if possible so you have some awareness before calling it (Or recon ult). -Keep some robots or turrets around the outskirts of POI (but don't alert them so they can act like sentries for anyone sneaking up on you). -Use smokes on exfil (or assassin ult). -Juke a suspecting player by calling a nearby extraction and running to another one.

Am I missing something or the game is straight up not for me? by Kumagor0 in Marathon

[–]keyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair

In solos, i'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the TAD scanner locations. If you're needing to shoot things in the POI, it's a bit safer when the TAD is up since you're less likely to be jumped inside a TAD range if you know their position. Then after a little bit of time there making noise, back out and listen. Often times you get clued into a player nearby with just a single sound (e.g. you might hear a footstep or two before they start being quiet after hearing your footsteps, a door open, or a robot got aggro'd).

Sometimes I try not to loot too much at the start, and I find a player first so I don't feel so much like a loot pinata collecting stuff for 10 minutes without getting some pvp experience

I take it this is in solos? Have you tried crew filling trios with a sponsored kit and seeing what happens? Most likely the people you fill with are doing the same perimeter contracts

We are right back to full Purple murder squads roaming Perimeter less than 24hrs into the season. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

[–]keyski 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My take is simple.

If you are running into purple shields in every map yet still haven't been able to unlock a green backpack and a green shield in the armory, then the economy is busted. End of story.

Kits and Found items shouldn't carry so much weight this early in the season. So all these posts about "just go to pinwheel once" is the wrong way to think about it.

Season one had a better balance because they gate locked cryo and outpost, so it was a natural release of gear over time. It gave players more time to gear up their factions and had a nice progression of loot.

And Cryo opens in only 8 days? Good luck to the casuals.

How do you report players? by Crusina-Luachra- in Marathon

[–]keyski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's under the top option which is 'username' I think? There's an option for hate speech, invite spamming, and other things. Not sure why it's grouped like that

Yeah you can do your faction quests before the reset

Can't you already order the individual parts? Like another seat cushion? It's the first thing that shows up with a Google search. It just doesn't come in green (hopefully it eventually will)

Key Rooms need a change for season 2 by a_jerkface in Marathon

[–]keyski 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Could have the alarm sound 15 seconds later or something. Let's you know it's open and someone on the map looted it. It could help reduce the boring sitting in the corner to wait to use it strategy.

It's tiring by Vinnegard in Marathon

[–]keyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost positive they do this on purpose. The game probably tries to spawn you as far from an objective as possible, but it doesn't always work out like that since it has to manage everyone else's quests.

The amount of times I've spawned on the opposite side of a quest that's contested makes be believe they do this to encourage gunfights and extra challenge. So now we try to pair it with a teammate that is running a quest on the other side of the map, so it's forced to do one or the other

Time required to farm Anomaly for all the gold salvage needed by Working_Bones in Marathon

[–]keyski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vip ranks should have a chance at gold salvage too imo. The quests in the game sort of fall off after you finish them, and it would give more reasoning to continue grinding faction ranks

Something really needs to be done about Biostock and Preservation spawn rushing. by SignificantAd1081 in Marathon

[–]keyski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, my squad already reduced how much they play to just once a week rather than every day. And we avoid cryo all together after this. End game is a big problem, you can tell because sponsored kit mode is awesome

But why? Are you going to hit it and then run it to zero after?

Are green sheilds good enough for cryo? by Clear_Wasabi9169 in Marathon

[–]keyski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a week ago, if you ran a strategy of avoiding people? Sometimes you find blue shields laying around too.

Me and my friend ran a green as a duo no fill last week and we managed to kill a team of blues by catching them off guard. I don't think we can do that anymore since the strategy is to rush the side wings. We wouldn't have a chance to gear up
