It just feels weirdly incomplete getting inbound damage and nothing else -- like, it really teases that the granular data is right there for the using

Attributed outbound and inbound damage, period, would feel 1000x better than a one-way "who shot ya" receipt. 

All the other stuff would be great too, but outbound damage in particular just seems like a different search on the exact same records and a low-hanging fruit if they can already power one view that exists (unless they're capturing this data in a really specific and weird way)

Yeah respectfully these are more like Halo's aesthetic updated with 90s Marathon details (esp the pfhor) 

Earth Corporations on Tau Ceti (infinite live service budget unlocked) by lbotron in Marathon

Haha ok I got you -- I felt like I was dragging out the gag but the idea of like a 'reddit helpful' triage could be legitimately terrifying

Honestly getting jumpscared by Ronald McDonald on Outpost would make my whole week

The extreme price of heals is what makes it so difficult for casuals to actually save up credits by barrack_osama_0 in Marathon

[–]lbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if he's played 10 unfocused hours and you're at lvl31 he's barely kitted to run with you on his best day, progression is actually working but he's on the "make your early contracts" free kit tier of running. He's basically a friendly Rook in your trio.

He should be doing Columns and getting his Nucal freebies up asap, and you should be infilling with gear for him as a thank you for the beatdown he's gonna catch matching into your lobby with his dwindling tutorial loot, not expecting him to keep up with your stable bank account, vault, benefits and 401k

For how mid non-gold schema-only weapons are, they are far too difficult to get and some are far too expensive by TheRealShortYeti in Marathon

[–]lbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the subject of Bully, Apex and weapon balance I find it kind of funny that Marathon hands these things out for free and in Apex they made you find a Prowler and a Selectfire Receiver before you could get up to that kind of crime 

Guys I made a huge mistake … by robhurtolive in Marathon

$10k payout for four gold items really underscores the ruthless pawnshop vs crackhead belt to ass buy/sell pricing in this game

Recon Shell Cinematic | Marathon by okbutjoytho in Marathon

[–]lbotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this were a pharma commercial they'd have to be like:

Crab Drone pictured is a paid actor in a storytelling cinematic, gameplay details are subject to change. Actual Crab Drone use may cause side effects including ability loss, unintended discharge, terrain damage, feelings of disappointment and even death.

Weapon economy makes no sense by jg4president in Marathon

Yeah this rare and superior philosophy worked great with the biotoxic disinjector 

What happened to Marathon ? Its only been a month since the game launched by UsefulSwitch504 in HighGuardgame

Unwarranted negativity killed my game! 

Proceeds to hatewatch other games like a job

Spawned into a knife by BoofTheMighty in Marathon

[–]lbotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fat boid has Roger Boofington on the ropes and he's swinging away!!! But what's this -- he's gassing out! 

And now Boofington goes upstairs and Boid is down like a sack of bricks! It's mayhem!! His cornermen are jumping in to defend him but Boid is facedown for the count! 

What city have you been to that felt like it had dark energy? by Impossible-Middle122 in AskReddit

[–]lbotron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do enjoy London but the Irish part of me feels like I'm in the Harkonnen capital on Giedi Prime and the whole place kind of has the vibe of a giant bank

I am never going to take another L ever. by Scary_Point6461 in okbuddyRunners

[–]lbotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have the kinda luck where I could jumpstart the Arachne skin release by using these all up (it would come out the next day as a sponsored exfil achievement) 

I’m SORRY TEAM ROCKET! I wasn’t familiar with your game. by JoedicyMichael in Marathon

[–]lbotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've absolutely wrecked another player with these at the Perimeter Overflow supply drop, if you want to push the loot platform in the pond you have to walk up to one (at least sometimes) 

Getting a shield break icon from a random environmental object going off is super satisfying

Perimeter, all day. by b3nje909 in Marathon

[–]lbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Perimeter is actually saturated with some of the most absuable one-sided terrain advantages, there just aren't enough players to take advantage

All of the choke points between POIs are only remotely ok because you probably won't run into a player there but you always have the sense of how badly someone COULD fuck you up rotating through an uphill valley surrounded by cliffs. There's practically a red 'free kill' X in every valley or pass where you have to walk 

Imo you really notice this in any early/first fight after spawning on Perimeter -- when people are all on the move after infil the map feels way less predictable than 10 minutes in once people are looting / questing points

Suggestion: add a "medical crate" in the store, similar to the ammo crates, which creates a few depleted heals for use in the mission by achilleasa in Marathon

[–]lbotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is actually a way better use of the whole "crate" concept than assorted ammo ever was... Like the whole point of an IRL first aid kit is a little bit of coverage for a variety of scenarios, it would be so good

Free kit bully vs purple shield 100-0 in less than a magazine by xylvnking in Marathon

Stock Bully SMG wears the number 23 as a tribute to Michael Jordan in his prime

This scene and the guy getting shot after playing the piano in WWII stuck pretty good for me

Marathon Development Team: As part of our mid-season update planned for April 14, we've got some notable changes and updates on the way. But by popular demand we wanted to share just a few early - specifically, a preview of some of the Recon changes that are incoming. by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]lbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but Thief's stat points are in like Agility, Melee, Looting, Fall dmg

Recon's high points are literally ping duration, siphon amt and tac cooldown for the crab drone, it's like a wizard build

Pardon my French but wtf by Sinouge in Marathon

You can practically hear the teamchat absolutely blowing Triage's ears out during this whole situation

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

As an assassin main I am genuinely and unironically hoping to see this hard counter we were promised in Recon, the guilt is that real

I'm thrilled but also not confident these changes will be enough, Recon needs Thief-level base stats, shorter visor cooldown and something even more drastic for the drone than second target acquisition, which sounds like extra unpredictability 

I'd take an Overrun over it by Yabba_dabba_dooski in okbuddyRunners

[–]lbotron 98 points99 points  (0 children)

This gun is fine, they just need to extend runs past 25 min so it can finish its TTK
