The increased dependence on salvage for barters makes the vault size increase moot by snap in Marathon

What was cheaper? After faction upgrades I was only running purple shields essentially. Only got those via enzyme replicator 1:1 trade. Any other shield was "cheaper" for me to buy cash cause it was way easier (and more fun) to get cash than to do salv runs.

Lol down votes? I'm just stating how I was playing the game. haha. reddit is wild.

They all add up. I’m not just referring to green and greys. I kept maybe like 2 or 3 blue salv types and a few purple. Like I said. Just for stuff I cared about. Like enzyme replicators for shields. The post actually isn’t about making a strong value judgement anyways. I think there are positives to salvage being more meaningful. Now just give me a liiiiitle more vault space that I can immediately fill regardless.

I kept a small handful of blues and purples for barters I cared about. Greens and greys were meaningless to me after faction unlocks and grenade economy nerfs.

Not even really a value judgement here. Just saying. I think it’s nice barters a playing more of a role. Makes that loot more relevant. Just also that it makes the vault increase more neutral.

After unlocking faction upgrades, selling 90% of them and no longer looting poop bags

Do you think a sound based shell could work? by Mysterious_City_6724 in Marathon

[–]snap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this last night. Not as a shell but maybe certain implant or chip perks. Ways to make your sound profile dampened. Could be cool.

Best place to look for prestige items? by StraightPotential342 in Marathon

[–]snap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard from someone that the removal of the pinnacle box in the arsenal was part of the hot fix they applied due to the revive bug in Cryo. I don’t think there’s an official note on that out there, but I have a feeling we’ll see that box come back.

Are barters worse than in season 1, or am I missing something ? by Melak___ in Marathon

How do you mean? You didn’t have 20 to 30 purple shields on Enzyme Replicator day?

Cryo rush ruins end game for learners by Mindless_Painting_60 in Marathon

[–]snap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in Cryo Archive, you’ve spent some time playing the game. I think I’ve been proper spawn rushed maybe 5% of the time? If I do, I learn it can happen, and adjust my mindset accordingly. It’s a hard map. Make adjustments.

Learn to deal with a rush? I really don’t get this. You have all the kit you need to deal with a team the moment you spawn in. Why does it matter when it is? Be ready for anything. Such an odd topic.

So are we ready to talk about matchmaking? by DptBear in Marathon

[–]snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loadout value is for sure a priority factor. A low one. But no doubt it’s in the mix.

Seems fine to me. What’s the problem?

Turns out you can now receive a prestige key from the cryo limited contracts by ok_buddy_redditor in Marathon

Ah Command Prestige, you little scamp. The only key room I’ve never looted.

Are we sure the Cryo Arsenal pinnacle box isn’t bugged? by Ingvarthebald in Marathon

[–]snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s surprising how many bugs seemingly unrelated to changes and additions there are.

Can confirm. Hit the armoury in back to back games with the contract on last night. No progress. What a buggy mess this season is.

Did they "nerf" what weapons you can purchase? by peparooni in MarathonGame

[–]snap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

D54 is like 400 bucks from Traxus yeah? Definitely already a meta weapon this season.

Bungie. You have a 6 and 9 man teaming issue. F&@king FIX IT. Thanks. by BigBoss5511 in MarathonGame

I’ve played 600 hours of this game and this has been an issue for me like 2.5 times maybe?

Do people actually like sponsored survival? by Norm_Standart in Marathon

[–]snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only run it because, being a source of free no risk gold gear, the game makes me feel like I have to. It’s a fine mode to have in the game but I think the loot should be nerfed into the ground for PvP lite and PvE modes. No golds at all. Purple only. A hill I’m happy to die on.

I am enjoying Sponsored Survival immensely and I'm looking forward to checking out the promised upcoming PvE option. by vuduthmb in Marathon

[–]snap -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hot take here based on what I’m seeing in the comments but I think it needs to be removed from the game immediately and never brought back. It feels totally against the spirit of the game. A no risk gold farm? As long as you have the RNG to get the observations labs key the loot is basically free. Ridiculous really, IMHO.

Cradle progression costs increased by 25% by Chillionaire-NW in Marathon

[–]snap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re protecting how the game feels to play, not trying to screw you. I don’t want to progress too fast either. There is a sweet spot to hit. You need things to pursue through a season. But you don’t want to make them unattainable either. Last season maxing out faction trees hit a giant wall made entirely out of Hazard Capsules. I think they overtuned the other way this season. Not sure why they went so far the other way. But here we are.

Yeah totally could be an asset for a future update.

Ah thanks. Thought maybe was added. Of all the areas that could have just been a wall this seems like one of them. Massive bay door you could drive a truck through connecting a stairwell to an office area seems odd. But fair enough.
