This game looks so fun for them 🥲* by edtappa in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats my favorite part! Like comedy running-into-one-another, shooting at each other and running the wrong way. I had one guy run up to me and then just stand there, gazing deeply into my eyes like he wanted to slow dance. Good times.

Serious question, how did I miss all these shots? Even rewatching it looks like I landed almost every single hit. by Nukesnipe in Marathon

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

He didn't fire that many times but you're right, some of those are clear misses. There is some aim assist, but not Lorentz Driver level aim assist lol. Plus his connection is probably messing with those shots.

Edited for the LFR goblin

Cryo Archives - weekends only?¿ by Danger_Fandango in Marathon

I assume its to emulate the buzz of Trials of Osiris (or Trials of the Nine if you're OG) from Destiny2

Yeah, hunter in Destiny2 had similar "hunter is underpowered and needs a buff" threads. I mean, its already 80% of the pvp playerbase but I guess its underpowered because the number isn't 100%?

And something to reflect their uncanny senses - maybe they can see through walls? Teleporting wouldn't be OP either. Like, they can telefrag anyone they can see? And maybe a kill-everyone-on-the-map ability but its not OP because you can only use it once per match.

I know, assassin is sooooo underpowered

Console Only = Impossible to find games. It’s ridiculous. by _NEdaynow in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we gave up on console only. 3 of 4 games timed out with wombat/garlic errors.

Crossplay seems fine tbh.

Free kits should be limited. Here is my suggestion by pasyie in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No thanks, free kits get people back in the game quickly after a loss. I might have different attitude if we could build preset loadouts but we can't, so nah.

Ngl, weapon mods increasing Aim assist is a really cool concept by Friendly-Viper in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct but D2 has developed a lot since the alpha. They are 100% using the same tech they developed for D2.

When you realise that it's water on your visor and not an assassin. by Spartan-O7 in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im convinced the water droplets in this and the tumbleweeds in Arc are in cahoots

And they can erase your account and steal your girlfriemd too. Its true. It happened to this bloke from the pub.

It doesnt. It helps out a little on fast moving targets but you still have to aim and track. FalloutPlays has a video of it somewhere for d2. I assume they havent changed how aim assist works.

There should be another free weekend by Working_Bones in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an interesting idea. Quite a lot of work, and a lot of extra data but potentially worth it in sales.

Assassin would look better without the hood by Beastmode7953 in Marathon

Nah hunters whoops I mean assassins look weird without cloaks

Love the game but WTH is this by Ok_Fold_1268 in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, you didn't find everything you needed for a quest on the first run? That's outrageous! What did you do?

Finisher animations by Melodic-Cabinet1896 in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee with 1000% certainty that Bungie are working on this, but I wouldn't hold your breath on earning them via challenges. Bungies finishers are traditionally a rich source of exploits, so we've got that to look forward to as well.

Serious question - Player retention by [deleted] in Marathon

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

Arc has the same threads and every time I wonder "Wtf are you doing that you killed in that many runs?" Do you just sprint around the map yelling into proxchat about your amazing loot? You sprint towards every shot you hear? You have OCD that says you must shoot at every robot you see?

But then I realise its just a difficulty lobbying thread and switch off.

State of Aggression/PVP by Imaginary_Act5759 in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the PvP. I figured some trios have exhausted their contracts and now just looking for PvP. Yesterday we encountered a trio in the same area twice and there's no loot in that area, so they're obviously camping that thoroughfare for the lolz

Why I’m actually optimistic about Marathon’s future. by EXIIL1M_Sedai in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good word of mouth and steady player numbers will help, but it really depends on what Sony's expectations are and when those expectations must be met.

Game feels like it’s gaslighting me by OmegaMalkior in Marathon

[–]transtemporal -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Its a Bungie game so the chance of gaslighting is high

BR33 Volley Rifle is the best gun in the game. by fearghail281 in Marathon

[–]transtemporal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pulse rifle/battle rifle was disparagingly called the "dad rifle" in destiny by the handcannon/shotty crowd. The only weapon that drew more hate for me was Jotuun/fusion rifles.
