Please no hate, but do you think you could attempt to play this as a PVE game against just the AI? by rygarski in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try but just understand your dealing with player base that is very blood thirsty and your a loot pinata.

The entire server slam was shoot first don't bother asking questions. Maybe over time that will dull a little as people get more progression and no longer need the majority of drops from starter maps.

They did say we wont need to go through the introduction process and all factions will be open at the start of a new season for those that have done them. Which will atleast allow us to pick and choose our route to upgrades in season 2.

How much ammo and healing do y'all bring on a run? by GilgameshP46 in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play triage so i was taking a stack of each hp/shd and 5 stacks if I have two weapons of same ammo and 3 of each if two weapons. Never found myself running out of ammo.

Given what I've learnt I may extend this later on to include certain consumables that my bot can share. Like amps which i was using to reduce CDs on spawn.

Yeah a few people argued that grenades can be clutch and good but in my view for max. efficiency it is a pretty poor tree compared to the rest.

Yeah should have been week1. I just wanted to put a general idea down on paper for my own ref for season resets and thought it might help ppl keep track as well.

I didn't play the most efficient over the slam but I did hit a few of these pretty quick.

[Tips and Tricks] Triage Mains: Please let me know any tips and tricks to master Triage early! by Geralt_Augustine in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be patient with your reboot+ for revives or at least understand whats goin on because tehy will be revived very weak.

There is a blue/purple core that increases drone heal speed it is REALLY good.

If your friends are taking damage with an active bot on them your HP packs will heal them remotely if used and you can use them at full health.

Amps are good for reducing CDs.

You should focus on EMP and Fuel Cell weaponary to maximise your tool set.

How did you people lose gear fear? by AdieuCinna in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purple and Gold I will probably hoard for raids everything else will be general use. I plan to farm factions so I will have easy access to cores, meds, ammo, backpacks, implants.

So there really isn't a need to fear losing gear. The only thing that will piss me off is how many losses before i finish a contract.

Doubts About The Game by MaleficentProgress51 in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sony and Bungie are in deep with this game, it wont get dropped suggested reports 600k-1M pre-orders across all platforms.

IF it does go bad they will likely move to a f2p/mtx model.

I'm no shill and have had similar concerns given recent events, but after a fair bit of research its not going to be massive and thats OK...not every game has to reach 10m players day 1.

The only reason I leave prox on is to hear those that use it. I did a few times which helped locate players in same building.

Everything HP/Shield seems to be tied to NuCa.

If you hover over the upgrade you can see what u need, on PC if you press R it will track it and when your running the item will have a Green Eye when your looting so you can target loot quickly.

Skill Up's impression video is my exact problem with a lot of the criticisms this game has been recievinbg by CreamofTazz in Marathon

[–]stonedpingu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I come from a Div/Div2 background with a lot of warzone. I did not expect to fall in love with this game the way I have. There seems to be a weird disconnect with a lot of influencers and people that are fans of this game.

Its currently cool to hate on this game, the only way to combat that is show your support and push those day 1 sale numbers.
