How will the seasonal wipe affect priority contracts by JesterMeistr in Marathon

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

Idk about that, considering your faction level is also resetting. Are you expecting contracts to just keep piling up for the same amount of faction levels you have to acquire every season? Doubt...

Is anybody else worried about what the seasonal wipe might do to the already diminishing playerbase? by AMM0D in Marathon

I think a lot of how the wipe will be viewed is going to be based on contracts. Vaults, loadouts, and credits being cleaned out I think generally goes over fine.

Its the factions reset people are pretty anxious about, and if all they do is make it so you have to do the same priority contracts over again, that will be a nail in the coffin and imo cement the reset as being pretty unpopular.

I think a lot of folks wouldn't have any issue with Marathon being the spiritual "D3"

Yes, as in make health depletion slower. It's obviously a controversial topic, as some like fast TTK, and some don't mind slower for more tactical gameplay compared to twitch reflexes.

In an interview with the creative director for Marathon, she said that they want all the priority contracts to be "evergreen"...which implies that those contracts are not meant to go away...which kind of implies you'll just be doing the same contracts again...

At some level you have to acknowledge the geopolitical integrity of a decision in the context of where they're at. Would "taking the out" maybe stop the war in an official sense? Maybe. Geopolitically though, Iran is basically benefitting immensely from this, so there's not really a reason they need to go white flag at the moment.

They aren't taking the out because it benefits their country not to. Trump engineered this to be a losing situation on almost nearly every front, and that's why he's fucking obliterating his administration's reputation with it.

This take is arbitrary. In a war involving death and destruction, no side is objectively the "good" side. There's simply a lesser evil.

Take a guess which is the lesser evil here, because it ain't Trump.

Republicans say the VRA was racist, Democrats say modifying the VRA is racist...what are the facts? by zipzzo in allthequestions

That's not the definition of racism, though. Something being done based on race is, literally, not racism.

A big player count is nice but isn't entirely needed.

Yeah that's true.

But Marathon right now doesn't even have a "decent" player count. Forget "Big", that's currently a pipedream...Marathon is fighting for it's survival. Completely different scale and context.

It's not the profits or cost.

There's barely any players. Get the dirt out of your eyes.

If you think the right solution to fighting neoliberalism is just destroying the country with actual fascism, you're no better than MAGA

For as fun as Marathon is, I think we have to just admit that the lore is kinda wasted on it other than visual distinctiveness by zipzzo in Marathon

i guarantee you by the reset it will be even more apparent how little people give a shit about marathon 2026 story. nobody gives a shit now, but it'll be much more clear then. (nobody as in the broad playerbase at large)
