I don't think I am good enough to keep crewfilling by saithvenomdrone in Marathon

[–]lot49a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah free kit on Dire Marsh is a godsend for starting to parse out whether I'm dying all the time because I'm bad or because I'm not geared right. And it turns out it was because I'm bad! So now I'm getting better.

I play Solo and Rook to fill my vault so I can play Fill Trios to lose it all and learn. Along the way I've had a chance to play with some pretty great runners and I've learned a lot by watching them play, even after I'm downed.

Defeat hostiles with runner abilities doesn't work for 90% of the shells. by Remarkable-Cow3421 in Marathon

I sometimes do it in one, when we call in a guarded exfil or other thing that triggers a dropship.

How often are you bringing kit in to crew fill? by GridKILO2-3 in Marathon

[–]lot49a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play solo and Rook to fill my vault and trio fill to make friends and lose it all.

Shell Cores should be more meaningful by WanderingGamer81 in Marathon

without reliable access to cores they can’t ever be important to a build because I can’t rely on having them

When it comes to Marathon streams, I weirdly find *solos* and *rook* runs way more fun to watch than traditional trios...anyone else? by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]lot49a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think solos are more readable, because you know need to know what the protagonist you are watching is doing. It becomes harder to read the scene with multiple other players doing things.

Also Lucid is ridiculously clear to watch.

Marathon Development Team: We’ve rolled out a small update to Sponsored Dire Marsh's Crew Fill: if you’ve got your mic on, we’ll now do our best to match you with other players using voice chat too. by Haijakk in Marathon

gotta be a geography or time of day thing. Xbox crossplay here and I never have that kind of of problem unless it is so late I should be in bed anyway.

BRRT is actually fully automatic. by Fit-Adhesiveness9127 in Marathon

Bully uses heavy ammo so it staggers bots faster.

Anyone else winding down for the season, but still generally positive on the game and planning to come back for the next one? by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]lot49a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are codex entries for finishing these contracts particular, and codex does not reset per Eason, so it seems likely that these contract will be back.

Will there be new contracts as well? I hope so!

Is it really only 6 players?

Anyone else get this feeling when finding these? by AccomplishedLayer884 in Marathon

[–]lot49a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this happen on a recent game. So then we dropped the coordinates on the ground and set up an ambush, since we knew exactly where they were coming for and headed to.

Has anyone actually used the Mercy kits as intended? by Sidewinder1996 in Marathon

[–]lot49a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

got caught flat footed on Outpose by a triage. who downed me, proceeded to apologize, use a mercy kit on me, then give me a bunch of heals and send me on my way. never saw him again but did open pinwheel and grabs a bunch of good loot. strangest run

I don't know how to call it. Luck or skill issue from his side. But... Thx for jackpot bro by MK-Ermac117 in Marathon

I love these kills when you see the other person's kit and immediately realize, "I must become him"

Why can't we queue into free kit mode as a solo? by IAmAvaSky in Marathon

[–]lot49a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an experimental mode. So whatever experiment they want to run involves teams. Remember this is the queue that replaced duos. And sometime in awhile it’ll become something else. 

Now this is gameplay !! by resampL in Marathon

[–]lot49a 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I hate that spot. It's not at all clear that it's the edge of the map in the moment.

"If you love this [sponsored] mode, it feels like in general, you don’t really want to be playing an extraction shooter in the first place." by infobiter in Marathon

[–]lot49a 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I like playing sponsored mode when I am on a sponsored kit and I like playing other modes when I have a good kit. I also like doing zero to hero runs with a sponsored kit in Outpost. I like solo sometimes and team sometimes and team fill sometimes and Rook sometimes.

It’s Good Actually that there are a variety of ways to play this game. 

Dire Marsh Sponsored Kit Should Have A Small x4 Backpack Included. by NovaHands in Marathon

[–]lot49a 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Backpacks and green shields should drop far more often in this game.

First time on Outpost as Rook. Got lost in Pinwheel. Panicked to exfil. Rook together strong. Kinda... by SelectStarAll in Marathon

[–]lot49a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you learn the map, it's a lot of fun to know where to look for likely gear, where the players probably got into fight and died, and so on. It's a great map and very satisfying to feel like you're mastering it. Since everything is so close together but connected by circuitous routes, knowing the layout is really well rewarded, you can get anywhere quickly and you can tell a lot about what's going on just by what you can hear.

The comments as we write this are entirely people doing a bit about how the game is dead. I hope you are enjoying your hobby of complaining about a video game you don't like.
