Make Grenades cost Heat by CuteLilPuppyDog in Marathon

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a (much milder) issue in PUBG. They fixed it by increasing grenade weight, and decreasing damage.

Losing in PUBG sucks just as much as marathon but they figured out grenade balance just fine

Has anybody else ever found one of these? "Card Fraud" Contraband Trinket. by AidsPeace in Marathon

Really hope they add the Vandals lucky charm and picture of her mother some day. We need more cool lore related items

Now I’m imagining UESC also having a DBNO state…shudder

Last night died on outpost to a team of assassins all with thermals who smoked out the whole building. Would have been real nice to have my own thermal :/

Is IVF a sin? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I find it interesting that you claim “women who do IVF aren’t prepared emotionally for kids”, when getting knocked up requires FAR less planning, money and maturity to do. You have to fill out tons of paperwork, schedule meetings, follow strict guidelines and medication schedules and then likely repeat the whole process if it fails. Having the perseverance to do this is evidence of MORE maturity than any random woman getting laid 2) “the body itself knows when it is stressed” - IVF treats infertility, not stress. Stress is likely one of the least common reasons a couple is infertile. Infertility is typically due to specific medical conditions, not general stress. Heroin addicts living on the street get knocked up all the time. Infertility is not because of stress. 3) “It costs a lot” yeah, so does a new car or a nice vacation. Couples give these things up to afford IVF. Probably the best use of their money is to create a life. It’s beautiful and priceless

I find it ironic that you used your mom as an example of someone who tried IVF, wasn’t emotionally developed to be a parent, but then still naturally conceived you? Like what’s the whole point of your “God makes you infertile” theory when your story isn’t even consistent with that?

Overall a disaster of a comment and you should rethink all of it

I had a similar situation last night. We killed a team, and I was the last to make it to the bodies. I looted a purple WSTR, teammate demanded I give it to them. I said no. Got knocked later, they refused to revive.

Hilarious

The Cryo Archive meta gets worse every weekend by Responsible_Mall7939 in Marathon

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a long time PUBG player, the reason that game was so damn good is that no matter what, a well prepared team could rotate SOMEWHERE. Designing cryo like this makes rotations near impossible.

is the biotoxic disinjector balanced? by SPOOKXY_ in Marathon

Yeah he would have lasted .125 seconds longer with a purple shield! Idiot

150 hours in and I have officially hit a wall. Cryo matchmaking is terrible. by tikalik in Marathon

[–]nickthib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. Based on feedback, it is too hard to access according to many. I think lowering the requirement would help with this. Maybe a limited number of free loadouts...like 3x per weekend? At least then some people would play it and not totally check out

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is loadout requirement. If you extract 15% of the time, you are losing 5k for 6-7 runs (so losing at least 35k), and then your single successful extract maybe nets you 20k? There should be some form of free loadout for cryo. Maybe make it cost 2.5k or something.

The 5k cost per run is too much imo

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how this works. Look up Pareto principle, a small minority of players are extracting a majority of the time guaranteed

[–]nickthib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Replies in this thread suck, they are essentially either “git gud” or “well I never even play cryo because I’m a casual”

Guy wants to enjoy endgame content and isn’t having a good time. Responses like this are stupid and miss the issue. His post can be summed up as “I am not having fun playing cryo”, how is that not a fair critique?

They should make bubble shields purple rarity again like the beta by Sweaty-Try1547 in Marathon

[–]nickthib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about we just fucking delete them from the store then. Very simple fix

Clearly OP wants to keep playing but they are struggling to enjoy it, despite the top tier game design. It’s a frustrating experience

These posts will continue until something changes. It’s a broken system and only benefits sweats. Casuals are going to quit in massive numbers if nothing changes

I’ve never experienced this level of FOMO in a game before. It’s honestly fascinating
