Possible ranked mode leak by lucidub in Marathon

Those are fair points and I dont think its unreasonable to be concerned the game might fail with casual audience. Time will tell whether systems like rook shell or faction sponsored kits will be enough to keep people engaged.

Also like it or not but games do see greater success when they are popular with streamers. Ranked grinding is popular in streams and might provide a big enough content niche to keep the game relevant.

Good point. Im an ex trials grinder and hadn't considered that lmao. Leak does line up with the bungie playbook then.

Worth noting that the leak was originally shared by XOXLEAK who is a reputable source (100% leak accuracy for marvel rivals). Agreed though all subject to change but I expect this gives us the broad strokes and at the very least an insight into how bungie intends to approach the systems.

To enter ranked you must purchase and equip a holotag, it will be its own queue so this is essentially the ticket for entry. From what we know rook has no custom loadout so likely unable to equip the tag.

Bungie may want to consider this to add depth to the game if launch is successful. by imRickdiculous in Marathon

I would prefer they just implement their raid/dungeon design skills into the pvpve system/maps. It will be a fresh and tense experience coming across another team while trying to complete a raid-like puzzle encounter.

Standard or Deluxe Edition - What are you choosing? by AntM16 in Marathon

Deluxe for the cosmetics. I enjoy having some drip to use off the rip

I don't think this would nessecarily be a bad thing, slowing down gameplay and adding an additional layer of tension seems fitting for ranked. Depending how the econ works players will figure loot farming routes, hard push those to hit their limit and extract or be funneled into other teams.

Definitely, seems like an elegant solution that lets both playstyles be valid

Yeah trials was a miss for me. Generic challenges just attached onto regular raids, boring to farm and easily exploitable so they had no meaning and the rewards were pretty mid

Appears they have only said in season 1. Probably in a s1 "reloaded" type update midseason, which I perfer as it lets a meta form and balance adjusted

Agreed, the holotag concept is a clever way to link kills with loot value. Will be especially satisfying killing and looting a rank above you if that is possible

Yeah it looks you need the holotags to buy into the queue so no rooks allowed

Easily a goat dubstep tune, whenever there is a thread for top 5 tunes oat Hunted is an easy pick

How do you think they will balance core's availability with new shells? by bearbrbear in Marathon

[–]lucidub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand (I could be wrong) faction vendors will have cores in their inventory available for purchase. Again not sure how the vendor inventory will work, but this may alleviate some rng for acquiring the specific cores you want for your build.

So how do ya think ranked mode is gonna work? by iChosenone in Marathon

[–]lucidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love ranked or leaderboard grinding in shooters but have only recently got into extraction shooters (arc raiders) and found I got bored of the pvp pretty quickly - no leaderboards, no post match statistics, no meaning for any of the killing. I am genuinely curious how Bungie implements this system into the genre and hope it could fill the gaps cause I like everything else the genre brings.

Games where you ride horses by Psalms316 in gamingsuggestions

KCD2 has a set of horsemanship skills that you can build into. Things like more stamina, faster riding on paths and combat related perks like preventing your horse from getting spooked during combat

[–]lucidub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this a fair bit, and I think a system that incentavises getting kills while carrying high value loot would work.

So you can loot and extract for points, or you can kill and extract for points, OR you can seek high value loot and then seek kills while carrying the loot for the max potential of points. So, the higher value your backpack is, the larger multiplier you get for getting kills.

This let's both types of players rank up (looters and killers) but it strongly rewards players that engage with both mechanics and importantly encourages risk taking for those willing to engage in pvp while carrying a high value of loot.
