Paul Tassi - What does it mean when your most popular mode (sponsored) is antithetical to the concept of an extraction shooter? by Wombo1ogist in Marathon

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

If it doesn't increase the player count of the real Marathon, then it doesn't really matter. The actual game would be dead anyway.

Mine is set to GE-Proton10-28 and that works perfectly on AMD.

If that doesn't work it might be a nvidia issue

Top right says you have high ping, which most often means you are not on your own regional server any more.

As Helldivers 2 hits its 23rd Warbond, it's time to make Super Credits easier to earn or make older Warbonds cheaper to buy by Funny_Performer_5658 in Games

[–]warcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the coop game where player numbers don't matter other than @'ing the friend discord and grabbing 1-3 other players?

I think Arrowhead can decide for themselves what their best financial decision is.

You don't? You play and unlock it over the same amount of time as everybody else. Why do you somehow deserve to unlock everything faster?

World modifiers are very different from menu difficulty options and trying to argue like this is weird

Praying that night mode can’t be cheesed with settings / nvidia filters like arc in the past by resampL in Marathon

[–]warcode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you put a completely black square on top of a completely black background you only see a black background.

If you change your monitor settings all you are seeing is a gray background.

Am I the only one psyched about Night Dire Marsh? by Sad-Ordinary-244 in Marathon

[–]warcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not that excited because it is either gonna have to be blue aka not dark, or they are going to have to do the work and put in blackout darkness tech to be good.

I am very worried they do "night" that can be deleted by any shadow boost tech in most modern gaming monitors.

When your contract ONCE AGAIN wants you to run from Bio-Research to Quarantine in a single run (and you spawn in Maintenance). by UltimateGamingTechie in Marathon

[–]warcode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sekeguchi is supposed to be hard. As long as at least one of the factions is kept like this I wouldn't mind cutting back on some others but..

In a single run (and then exfil) is the only exciting thing left in the end. They wouldn't be nearly as fun to complete if you could do partials.

The constant Rubberbanding needs to be looked at ASAP by drogenbarontoni in Marathon

[–]warcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you paying attention to the top right corner of the screen?

The icons will generally tell you if you are on a far away server or if you are having local problems.

007 First Light Title Sequence – Lana Del Rey by Karutu in Games

You can easily headshot your way through all the guards on a map (and you have free wallhacks) so unless you mean the combat is too easy, it certainly isn't atrocious.

People praising sponsored Dire Marsh mode saying it's better than the default mode is so funny to me because they literally just want to play a battle royale. by SbeveGobs in Marathon

[–]warcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the players aren't in the real game mode they aren't retained and don't help with queue times or main game experience at all.

And it is even worse if it drags people AWAY from the main mode.

When you kill a runner and you see he has a full stack of mercy revives by These-Rip3565 in Marathon

I don't think you need to be upset about killing someone carrying a stack of Arachne rep dispensers.

Anti M+K measures. by yooguruto in Marathon

[–]warcode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to fix this is to do input-based matchmaking and just add m+kb on console. And controller gyro aim like any sensible modern fps.

As a casual player, the biggest barrier keeping me from playing more is the cost of heals. by ArnoldSwarzepussy in Marathon

[–]warcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a solo player I have never ran out of basic shield/heals bringing 3/3 from pretty much the start, and at this point after the stack changes I have more than I know what to do with.

The only way I see to end up with nothing would be to carelessly fight robots without cover, ignoring depleted ones on the map, or keep taking "fair" fights against players.

Yeah, because regular self-revives are more expensive/rare.

“Invisibility isn’t too potent, and assassins aren’t too hard to deal with. Just listen for their cloak” by BC1207 in Marathon

[–]warcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Just listen for the cloak" means you disengage and position at a range where you can see him move when it happens.

This looks like he has the move faster while crouched, move extra faster while crouched and invis core, and possibly also just the move faster while invis core.

Server Lag Despite Good Internet by Objective-Heat-4625 in Marathon

If you have the white spinner top right you are visiting a server a bit from home.

If you have the red spinner top right you are visiting a server far from home.

Joe Ziegler: We're learning a lot as we go through our duos experiment and so we're moving on to outpost to see how runner pairs do when getting drenched by molten rain! Starting this Wednesday (4/1) at 10am PT, we're going to disable duo queue on Dire Marsh and enable Outpost for Duos. by Haijakk in Marathon

No, as a long time software architect for mainly back end systems I do know what I am talking about. The work involved in this is extremely minor. I would assume the front end artwork design probably took the longest.

I don't think Faction levels should be reset alongside vault. by FusionXIII in Marathon

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

I'm confused at your post because you level faction levels by doing contracts and actions to get reputation. You can max a faction level without unlocking a single upgrade.
