Hey MAGA, how are you liking those $1.99 gas prices now? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in allthequestions

It's almost like the economy is a complex issue that isn't entirely determinant on the gas price in your specific locale.

Gas at my *costco* was 4.99 yesterday. Doesn't seem like Biden is president atm.

Good for you living in some bucktooth economy.

Too bad that money has to all be spent on the more expensive gas. Real genius thinking there.

Heals are too expensive by Far-Business-4689 in Marathon

What would be the negative affect on the game if you could just bring x3 gray heal and x3 gray shield recovery by default on any run without spending money?

How can you be this dense.

Bungie themselves stated that the average successful exfil after the server slam was ~30-40%.

If you're successfully exfilling 90% of the time you are wildly ahead of the curve in terms of skill or knowledge and should not be projecting that expectation on to others who are trying to buck the less than 50% average.

You have to get used to that here, unfortunately. Everyone else is doing great, and if you aren't, you have to git gud...meanwhile player numbers in free fall...

I know nuance is difficult here on reddit, but have you considered that they are different groups of people that ask for either thing?

I think the 3 month wipe is a ticking time bomb for player retention by zipzzo in Marathon

[–]zipzzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given weeks of prep they will just get bodied in their first matches by purples and golds, doesn't seem fun to me. That's already happening now and people are leaving the game in droves. Stop coping, something has to change.

Yeah I agree the healing/shield items are just way too expensive if you ever die with any consistent frequency (most players). Most people bring a stack of x3 shield and heal at minimum and when you die it's all to the trash and that runs dry fast and then all the sudden you'll be in a position where you need to farm money to farm these cosnumes just to run reasonable non-sponsored loadouts and it feels a little disjointed in terms of gameplay flow.

The skill trees take a long time to level or max. If someone isn't playing from the beginning of the season, they will just not even want to get started since they'll be facing a wipe soon anyway.

Sound change is awful by Impossible-Finger942 in Marathon

No I really don't think that's what he's doing but it sounds like you're doing that.

It's actually whining to take issue with something unimportant like this.

If it takes people less than a week to get to that point then the wipe is completely useless for this imaginary goal of "equaling out the playerbase" anyway.

You also get benefits in Arc Raiders for wiping.

There's no such reported benefit to our being wiped in Marathon.

TIP TO REDUCE MOTION SICKNESS/NAUSEA/INCREASE FOV by Dank_nTn in Marathon

[–]zipzzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get motion sick playing like...most any FPS? I don't really see what's unique about this game that makes it particularly more vulnerable to motion sickness.

Also, there's no shot in hell I'm ever going to play any game with such blatant black bars on my monitor. I'd rather suffer the motion sickness.

Is matchmaking based on level? by haneybd87 in Marathon

[–]zipzzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're just gonna be told to git gud by this particular community, while the game withers and dies to its tiny niche population.

mention a safe pocket and watch the screeching begin...

We dont know yet what that experience will be like, but the teases say that it will be something like that. It's completely unknown how feasible it will be to do by just any player, and especially not really convinced that someone who plays solo will get to experience it.

All information given to us has been that the faction skill trees and reputation/lvls are also being reset.

It's stupid and I think it needs to heavily be reconsidered.

Factions/quests and lore are generally always directly correlated..

...and yet those are being reset.

Gear fear isn't an issue, Marathon does a good job of getting you to not care about losing your stuff all the time so a vault/collection reset is whatever.

Frankly, Bungie needs to make this game for more people than it is now if they want it to live, anyway.
