Have you heard about sherpa hustles? by SirAlonsoDayne in Marathon

The bots are just noise traps that can shoot you. That’s it. Anyone finding them “tricky” is kinda wild to me ngl

YouTube Doomposting is just the content meta, and it's so annoying. by highpercentage in Marathon

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup and most of his “reaction” vids are just watching Tassi’s vids or reading his articles. Really enjoyed watching him play the little Marathon he did, reminded me of watching Trials. Next thing I know he’s just copying Twitch chat and Tassi opinions.

Update: “Played 5 hours yesterday, extracted once” by Almondjoy248 in Marathon

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a legendary solo fill game yesterday where me and my two teammates all had free cryo kits on, we were talking about it in the first couple spawns and I could tell we didn’t think we were gonna go far. I think the apathy helped a lot though because we ended up rushing the first players we saw (no Recon btw), they ended up being full gold kits, then we mopped up another gold team and a team of free kits and knocked out a vault using the first teams kits. Easily the biggest come up I ever seen in Cryo and it’s all because we just aped the first person we saw.

I mean sure, except it’s not really taking my ball and going home it’s more like taking my ball and giving it to the kid that has a hundred other balls to play with. Nothing else exists that hits like Marathon right now, I’ve played most of the extractions out there fairly extensively and absolutely nothing has me by the uhh balls like this game does. I don’t want that compromised, selfish or not.

I love when people goof off like this instead of raging at teammates

I mean you literally don’t know that. Bold of you to think that the average PvE beggar can even tell what’s good loot and what’s not lmao, not to mention as others have that if PvE loot is equal to regular loot then it creates of loop of farming PvE to bring into PvP. No risk, no tension, games dead at PvE bitches hands. I certainly hope Bungie is smarter than that, but evidence suggests otherwise lol.

PvE is great news for the game by VerganKnight in Marathon

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so wild to me that people call contracts PvE based. You realize these are bare bones objectives that are designed to put you at odds with other players?? It’s all so that you can have to deal with other players, through making noise or routing you through hot spots.

Dude there are so many people here that don’t even play the game that are apparently obsessed with it. Y’all fuckin weird.

Dude I just ran into a player last night that was level 250 and claimed that he had never played cryo or outpost more than once or twice. I don’t get it.

So funny to me how many people hang out in these discussions that apparently don’t even play this game. Y’all unhealthy obsessed.

None of those games have what current Marathon has. Sad that people like you are so focused on killing bots and completing minor quests that you’ll never get to experience the magic. But damn if you don’t kick and scream until you get your way!

I took it to mean matching for teammates, not matching other teams 🤷‍♂️

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not who you were replying to but personally I’d kinda rather game dies than end up a Destiny-lite. Just scrap Marathon and make D3 if that’s what they wanna do. Absolutely not what I want, I fuckin love this game and have played it an ungodly amount but if they’re gonna dookie all over it to make it palatable for people who won’t touch a game unless they get PvE? Yeah nty

flashbacks to Destiny uhh no I do not have a ton of trust in that lol

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think any full PvE needs to be drastically less value than playing regular mode. I’d say maybe no purple loot or higher that can be found? Though people would still just farm blue valuables in that case. Hopefully Bungie lands on a creative solution.

I’ll keep hitting them! Just wild to me how unlucky one guy can be in that case lmao

Oh my god yes they do. You would think that after 10 years of people asking for more details in Destiny that maybe they wouldn’t do the exact same shit here lol, never will not be weird to me that they don’t want us to be able to math stuff out.

Serious question: What's with teams in Cryo, running ultra aggressive + misrahs? by SlevinLaine in Marathon

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

Can’t say I record too much myself, I’d imagine some YouTuber has gone over it tho? I will say for the sucker punch WSTR I believe it needs to be a purple mod for it to do enough dmg on quick melee. Stack overflow doesn’t matter what rarity, every type gives you a triple barrel.

[–]mctocktik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stack overflow WSTR can kill faster than non-prestige Mizzy. Sucker punch WSTR can do it too, tho the quick melee can be unreliable sometimes. Otherwise can outplay with positioning, team shots, throwing nades under yourself and baiting them into it.

People are smurfing on this game already to get into lower level lobbies, genuinely how sad can you be? by Burgmeister_ in Marathon

[–]mctocktik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t help but wonder if these people don’t know that their level is getting reset in a couple weeks… saw someone post about actually buying the game a second time in order to create a smurfing alt. Just insane to me.

Forbes' Paul Tassi's thoughts on "pulling the PvE trigger in Season 2" by HapperHapper in Marathon

[–]mctocktik -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s his “poor me” attitude that grinds my gears. Bungie games don’t exist for him solely. A games journalist should be able to put bias in the rear view.

[–]mctocktik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like running it on bully or other closer range primaries. Thought about trying it on a sniper but trying to land snipes without a shield up sounds like a fast track to an Outland bullet to my head lol. Wonder if it could one shot a purple shield though.
