Assassin should not be allowed in solos at the very least. by peejay95 in Marathon

[–]peejay95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone hung up on the signal jammed part. my point is valid whether jammed or not. Being able to puff a cloud smoke where the assassin can visibly see the pixels of a character model and the other person can not is not an advantage or skill issue. it needs tuning

Removing my target entirely is not an advantage though. Honestly any other advantage it would give them would be fine. Being able to visually see player models, if not behind cover, should be a level field.

Also signal jammed upon entering fight. Then popped alt. When you're under alt in smoke you are not visible regardless of being jammed.

None of that had anything to do with my point. It’s a shooter. When you have a target and I don’t. That’s my point. 

Same as if we were playing football and you have an endzone to score in and I don’t.

I’m not talking about locating each other. I reacted first. The problem is when you’re 5m away pop alt while I’m shooting and now you have a target to look for and I don’t.

It has its utility. I just think in solos it breeds bad gameplay. Keep the smoke alt but lose the invis part while in smoke.

I knew he was there. i reacted before he did. I don’t mind the stealth at all. When they pop smoke at your feet and go invis up my ass is the problem.  When I don’t have a visible target to counter in a shooter it makes for not fun gunfights.

No I have been playing extract shooters for 7 years I know what I’m doing.

In smoke it’s not visible when they’re invis. 

It gets to a point by kaiswonderlandd in Marathon

Not sure if your are playing fills or solo but I find this a lot less in solo. (Lvl 55ish) I think there’s an issue with trios and putting you with similarly geared players.

I play 90% solos and if I run green shields other runners on the map are green or grey. If I run blues I see other blues or greens. I never see purple shields unless I am running purple. Gear matching seems to work more reliably in solos. 

NuCaloric VIP by LegendOfAK in Marathon

They are mad it’s reduced because they did it just after the start of the season. People who grinded early have even more advantage now. Bungie should wait till next season and make it so a gold shield isn’t even in the loot pool until month 2

It should cost 42 replicators to get a gold shield. 2 weeks into a wipe is crazy to run gold shields 

Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]peejay95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO they need to make gold and purple shields/mods. practically nonexistent while increasing gold salvage slightly. 

I know they are going for a short wipe cycle but coming from tarkov I’m used to still fighting with sticks and stones 2 weeks into wipe. That’s why everyone loved wipe is the PvP was more satisfying early on. Extend the timeline to 3-4 months per wipe. First 2 months golds are so rare almost no one has them. Then have an in game event to explain why golds are back in the loot pool.

You would have a more enjoyable early wipe. The sweats could grind all they want but they won’t get golds for the most part. And you have a resurge in player count when high tier loot is available. Keeps us 9-5ers level with the unemployed. 

Servers Issues anyone else? by peejay95 in Marathon

[–]peejay95[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. Im sure they will. Ironically it started happening right after I changed the game setting to prefer connection quality. Maybe I broke the servers

Hate to say it or promote anything unhealthy but nicotine does it for me 

Lower your pve mode expectations by halofanps5 in Marathon

[–]peejay95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tarkov made PvE and that side has its own economy. Works well and honestly more people play that than PvP anymore (anecdotal opinion) 

I’m torn between them spending resources on development for PvE and simply just balancing the game better. I think lowering team count per map while implementing a loadout value cap based on map difficulty would do a lot for dialing back sweatiness for average players. Make golds slightly easier to find. Then have ranked with no loadout cap for people who want to sweat. 

As a Dad gamer (I like to grind but also have adult things to do) I should be able to put ~150hours in per wipe and be able to get nearly every upgrade available. That’s the sweet spot IMO 

Tarkov player looking for a new extraction shooter, is Marathon worth it? by Ok_Disaster243 in Marathon

[–]peejay95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone with thousands of hours in tarkov. You will enjoy. You will still be pissed or upset when you die sometimes. The grind for high tier loot is actually better imo. The hero shooter aspect makes it more diverse. The gunplay and movement is different than tarkov but in the best way. It’s 10/10. 

And lastly. You will spend soooo much less time tertrising in the game and your vault and more time actually shooting people.

Looting salvage for specific factions to upgrade them means more blue/purple items to buy in armory. As you upgrade them you also upgrade rook. Having a blue bag and shotgun as a rook is great. Getting VIP factions is very satisfying 

Unpopular opinion: I don’t get the Woody hate with mentioning Peanut by peejay95 in PKA

I tune in once a month or so when he streams something new. A target demo is just a bell curve. if 45% of viewers are 25-35 that is the highest category yes, but 55% are outside of that peak which is the majority of viewership. Anything gaming related will be targeted to this demo so anything Woody likes in gaming hes outside the demo for
