That's true, but I haven't really ran into ammo problems yet especially since every mission has like 5 ammo crates to restock with.

>>562032036
Because PvP can never offer enough emotional meaning for a game.

Games are narrative driven, meaning you can’t replicate winning the FIFA World Cup in a game where you’re fighting aliens on a haunted space ship freezer.

It doesn’t mean “PvE” specifically, ie shooting bots, what it means is having impactful seasonal events and milestones that ground the players in the setting. Alongside that, it’s not a challenge to beat hordes of players because players will stress the game to break it, whereas game devs will stress you do overcome controlled systems (see Destiny’s raids).

That’s why Marathon needs more “PvE elements.

>>562032036
Marathon doesn't have enough content as it is and the assassin+sniper is now a solved meta. A simple PVE mode would help people blow off steam and it could be useful in case Bungie ever wants to try another "Kill 5 million UESC soldiers to unlock ______" event

>>562032865

Where the fuck are the juicy codex entries? All the lore so far has been boring as fuck.

Last entries are always the substantive ones. Essentially there's a living contagion that killed/zombified all the colonists and tau ceti had a time anomaly that acts a lot like the contagion. UESC is keeping it secret for some reason, don't know why.

I firmly believe the only thing Marathon did wrong is releasing after Arc Raiders. It's just like how Dota 2 is less popular than LoL despite being the superior game. Sometimes the only thing that matters is that your game released first and that's the one people have already put their time and money into.

cryo is really the only way to get them reliably desu yeah you'll eventually find one or two if you farm pinwheel/events enough but in cryo you'll consistently stumble across 3 of them lying on a desk

After playing ranked Marathon for 2 weeks I have some thoughts -

1. If anyone on your team gets killed by cheaters and your team ends up wiping as a result of it you should get your rank/gear from that game once they’ve been banned. (Ps this should be a game wide feature)

2. We need an anonymous mode terribly. It could for example say instead of Diffizzle#3289 say Destroyer#3289 and then when you go to lobby keep the actual player names in the recent player tab so bad actors aren’t able to effectively use this system to avoid detection.

Ranked is fun, tense, and even rewarding however losing to teams cheating completely knocks all the wind out of that experience. While cheaters are inevitable I feel having a systems in place to soften that blow would be a massive help to the players experience and morale.

I was >>562037742 and found my 2nd one in a random container at Overflow not even like 30 mins later. It just comes down to opening every container you find. I can't confirm this myself but a reddit post said they don't show up on thief's visor for biolens in particular. Another post I read said the longer a container is unopened, the more valuable its loot is. I've noticed that a locked security container was gray whn I use isor, until I checked again and it changed to purple color after the secuity thing activated, so here's something going on there in that regard.

not sure which container you mean by this, but I think for locked rooms specifically that the contents of the containers aren't loaded in until the key is used. That's not the case for lockboxes as Thief can spot which one is purple with her visor.

It seems the meta on solo outpost has changed from trying to get to pinwheel to just camping and waiting for sponsor kits to try to do contracts? I just watched an assassin and a thief with snipers just stare at a supply drop that I called trying to do the Traxus mission. For 8 minutes. Meanwhile someone breached Pinwheel on the other side of the map, and they didn't move. They are just going to spend the entire match staring at a sponsor kit vandal doing the least valuable thing the map has to offer which will have at best a blue mod for a gun and a grey volt thrower. While someone just runs around Pinwheel completely uncontested getting actual loot. Fascinating.

solos warp people's brains in such a way that they can't understand opportunity cost, i.e. they'll spend 30 minutes camping to exfil with 4k when they couldve done 5 rook runs in the same timeframe and exfiled with 5k each time. they just become convinced that as long as they survive it was actually a meaningful run

Next run, killed one early, wait for someone to go up drone, another to breach, wait 2 minutes. Of course, naturally an assassin pisses off bots at Orientation which causes a recruit to sprint directly at my hiding spot, so the assassin then knows I'm there, and has a blue shield and a shotgun to chase me down. I genuinely hate the bot AI that makes them just 'wander' by 'happenstance' directly where you're sitting silently every time they aggro on someone else.
And then the run after, an assassin with a sniper just sitting on a rooftop watching the outdoor passage between dormitory and orientation got me. Are these the people that get to level 100 and have a vault value of like 70k? This genuinely produces nothing of value other than maybe getting them third partied by yet another fuckass assassin with a sniper who heard it.
>>
>>562053557
Unironic yes.

I called this months ago that the game wouldn’t have a player base more than 50k, and while it does have slightly more, this sort of game can never reach a mass appeal. It’s too violent, too punishing and too esoteric.

Then again games like Anthem just die so whatever.

I'm just doing no fill ranked now, pretty intense

>>562053737
anyone who really wants pinwheel loot will just do trios even if they have to fill. when you play solo outpost you are playing against the lowest of the low; the dirtiest rook couldn't aspire to be half as evil as those freaks. you have to assume they don't care about loot and only care about ruining your day.

It's honestly just the same issue as Overrun, as in optics being almost a requirement to make the gun usable on MKB. SMG's come straight out the box with decent stat package, have no need for accessories and optics are a QOL for them, the stuff you get out of the Cyberacme and Traxus kits might as well toss you in with completely stripped weapons and wish you good luck.

Yep. Not only does the game have a high learning curve because the tutorial doesn't teach much, but it also demands a fair amount of time and patience from the game's escalating bizarre priority contracts, which range from trivial to massive jumps in terms of demands. And even then you need to be extremely patient to not want to give up when you climb up the ladder and start to lose blue/purple gear.

>>562053905
When I'm actually looking for loot I do solo Pinwheel all the time, it's not hard to get in, and the bots/traps aren't hard to deal with inside (the only thing you even have to kill is the scout commander in Command Wing, and not even that if you're an Assassin) - there is a minor risk of other players, but it's apparently safer than just sneaking around outside, which is fuckin bizarre.
>>
>>562053967
It’ll survive but the problem is that it can’t falter.

A more casual game for example, can coast by with simpler engagement because the player base doesn’t have a vocabulary for good game design from the game itself (Fortnite’s a good example, people can’t actually articulate what makes a level good).

With Marathon, look at how well designed Cryo is. Look at how engaging the codex entries are.
Future updates to the game will be under such scrutiny from the player base, that if the game has a bad 6 months or so, that’ll be it.
Look at Destiny 2, things plummeted on bad expansions, same with WoW, FFXIv, etc.

Literally the worst option the Vandal could pick. Straight neutral jump high into the air, as if the average roller player couldn't track it.

Or just stay right there, so no one can climb the boxes, or run up the ladder. I would pop a heal right there on the spot.

I'm dropping into Ranked Dire Marsh for the first time. I'll let you know how it goes.
>>
>>562056343
I would have honestly just ran a bit further towards the large boxes, as you can actually control four different directions from there with minimal sightlines and reset the fight. The single box had no room to maneuver anywhere and there are plenty of boxes that could be used to also get the height advantage with double jump, in case things get really hairy.
>>
>>562056498
I would wait for you to get off those boxes, until the spider bot is ready. Then I'd try to make you look at the spider by throwing it past the boxes, it would probably start crawling towards Vandal.

>>562056259
>>562056031
The engagement started bad, given that it was against a Recon the Vandal should have fucked entirely off to Bio-Research to completely reset, best case scenario if she wanted to fight there would be run inside the central building and take the stairs to get to the second floor and turn around to try and engage the Recon while she was still in boxes - but healing on the way means the Recon would probably just be tracking her into the building by the time she could pivot - still, at that point it'd at least be a fair fight in a building. Jumping straight up was just retarded.

>>562056867
I've been on the vent gang side of the equation too, if they refuse to come in, I can chill. I can run a lot faster than them so if they wait til final exfil I have the advantage there. Granted, I have no idea what gear that Vandal had so it's all hypothetical, and I've absolutely made dipshit decisions when panicked. Don't think I've ever tried to double jump straight up into nothing, though.
>>
>>562056797
Unless you have three different teams poking around, one of the wings is definitely not looted straight away, even if you split the teams so you can easily go after the high value containers. The highest contesting goes for the Command wing, but you can easily go loot that after a team exits for the things the team couldn't fit in their backpacks. My biggest enemies in there are other Rooks, not the 1-2 teams that usually end up fighting it out.
>>
>>562057142
You can reach and activate the final exfil, sure. But as soon as you run out of the building, you're being chased, you don't have 10 secs to wait without a fight. There's gonna be a heat seeking drone coming right after you get scratched by a bullet and decide to heal.
>>
>>562057146
I can't tell which wing is occupied until it's already too late, and they hear me and start running me down. That's assuming I even survived to get up there in the first place.

Teams make a hell a lot of noise. You head for the quieter area, poke around. See where there's still bots around. I've had the most luck in the Drone Wing and Destroyed one, as both have very clean exits once you're done with your shit. Drone is definitely riskier, but there are plenty of nooks and crannies you can use for pathing that a team usually doesn't use.

you have the advantage because you can go in whenever and you're not blocked by uesc. you can hear them from the entrance, so wait until you think they're near the button and rush command -- by the time they make it back to the center and fight through the bots you walked past, you should already be in the vent out. if you're super late and they're already in command, just hit one of the wings bc they always leave shit behind

>>562057608
The most dangerous spots you can run around in is near the center area and on the open alcoves on any of the wings. The areas around the sides are very safe and they are usually in two layers, so there are definitely places where you can lay low and let players pass or otherwise get your stuff in your backpack and either start heading out or pathing back towards a safer spot. If you're getting consistently caught, you'll just have to learn to navigate the layout little faster and develop some sense on how the players usually navigate in there. There are three major things to acknowledge:
>Higher chance that atleast two security entrances have not been used.
>Some teams enter via Drone elevator, others dont. It's risky, but if you can steal the keys and get in via that way, it can also technically be a headstart against other Rooks and teams.
>Destroyed wing is almost invariably the safest to start with, as there are no entries via that area and most teams usually hit it last. It is highly contested by other Rooks though, some which are not usually willing to share.

both, first guy was waiting in a vent in station, he moved when I ran by so I heard him, tossed a chem grenade I found from the munitions box that spawns opposite the tickets in the tunnels. He ran around to try to get behind me from the door I entered so I stabbed him. Someone else saw the chem grenade, ran in the same door and I stabbed them in the back. Then the last guy kinda just ran over to a building across the way so I just crept up to the door, waited for it to open, and stabbed him. That last guy went down in one stab so he was just runnin around already injured. Second guy had a shotgun and still fucked it up.

You know what, maybe this game really is a litmus test on whether someone has brain rot or not.

I’m no game developer or a game director, but in my 25+ years of playing games with friends and solo, I found myself playing a lot of games that had a great campaign first, then fall in love with PvP multiplayer to follow it up. And this helped a lot of casual friendly approaches at least in my experience to play a game first before being a PvP addict. That was my halo experience and my destiny experience at least.

I understand that this is an extraction shooter, but given the team working on this and their background, I feel like it might have been a big miss to not have even a short lived campaign experience that maybe could have been expanded in future DLC. How much extra work would that be and cost to Bungie? Not a clue.

Just feel like a simple campaign experience would have helped people get used to other shells, different guns, how movement works - in a situation where they aren’t getting slaughtered and quitting on free kits, or without gear fear and getting slaughtered in the same fashion. Yea I get it you can test everything with free kits. But only to a certain extent.

I personally would play the absolute hell out of some heroic level coop or solo campaign, fighting unique warden bosses and what not. Not for PvE farming - just campaign separate from extraction.

>>
>>562063259
I just honestly try and skip every single post that has weird ass spacing, completely retarded takes and other insanity. There's lot of things to fix in the game, but barely any of them have jackshit to do with PvE or the game needing a drastic change of direction like you see pretty much daily in the general.

I've never really seen it mentioned how easy it is to stack lobbies in this game with your friends. This was pre-cryo but there was 6 of us in a call and we decided to queue trios at the same time on Outpost and got into the same lobby first time both attempts, we didn't actually end up meeting up and just did our own contracts. This was EU too. I'm amazed I haven't seen any 6 man rapestacks at all considering how piss easy it is to do.

They just honestly need to add in more rape oriented bot squads among normal reinforcements. The ghosts are a good start, but there should be more elite versions of the normal UESC forces that will just fuck your squad up, unless you deal with them. The most obvious example being something like Payday, where you go from Local Police ---> Swat.

It is not casuals. The game simply does not offer enough for its price. Tarkov managed to keep its players around for about two months before it started cratering. Even though some may like it, having "content" be "dude just grind every faction to VIP by doing these shitty quest" is ass. It feels bad. I did one faction for VIP and I struggle to boot up the game every day. You're essentially paying 40 bucks for 2 maps. I'll let you figure out which 2 maps I'm talking about.

I bought the red Destroyer one because I thought it looked better than the Deluxe one or any of his others too.

>How do you do interesting skins in such a serious setting?
Been thinking about this too. It's going to be hard for them to make skins that are flashy enough to entice people to want to buy them without making them look overtly ridiculous and out of place. The best thing they have to work with is bright colour palettes but then you'll get a subsect of people saying the skins are "Pay to lose" because you'll be easier to see in dark areas etc

Honestly they just need to release more skins, I think the shop has updated with only two new bundles so far?
Thief mains have bought the fuck out of White Rabbit
Destroyer and Recon aren't uncommon to see at all
And Assassin's Azazel skin is fucking everywhere despite being so basic

I think they're totally fine in terms of their so far consistent design philosphy. I see people unironically using Overwatch as an example for skins, and clowns like that will always end up being the loudest naysayers against the game maintaining a solid aesthetic.

Y'all have forgotten how to take an L

This is an extraction shooter.

Not a looter shooter, arena shooter, rpg, or whatever else it mildly resembles because it utilizes a system from that genre.

That means, frankly you "lose" most of the time. I swear mmr has brain rotted everyone into babies entitled to their 50/50 win loss.

Every other post, more frankly, is someone coming off a tilting match or session blessed with a vision of what's wrong with the game because they can't be added to get a handle on their frustration. Maybe I'm dating myself but this is nothing compared to climbing ranked in League or trying to organize 10/25/40 people for a WoW raid.

What happened to you gamers? For the most persecuted class, where's our characteristic toughness that was forged in ELO hell, losing to photon rush, or dying for the umpteenth million time to the Ivory King.

This Game Has Incredible Highs And Some Nasty Lows

Im almost 7 years sober from drugs and alcohol and have been in therapy/self care this entire time. I used to use the gym as a major coping skill (and still do), but gaming has taken that full time role as I had a severe double knee injury.

This game though, MAN does is hit like a drug. Insane highs when you make a come up on some unsuspecting runners with great loot. Then those insane lows of getting clapped 6 runs in a row. Reminds of some of my old days, but now I just hit runs in marathon lol.

So whether you interpret this as a healthy coping mechanism or not (I do), I am addicted to the RUNS.

The reality is that this is it.

Marathon has too few players for Bungie to produce any more game modes.

PVE only lobbies, freekit only lobbies, unranked ante lobbies, etc., etc. would siphon more and more players from the 'main' game. No matter how good or bad some of these lobbies sound, they would all be detrimental to the game in the long run.

I'm already getting five minute queue times for Solo on NA East after 5 PM.

Basically every multiplayer game nowadays tries to get you to commit solely to it, so I don't blame zoomers for thinking of the games they play as a team they support

so how many of you actually play/played marathon? if you dropped it, why? what would it take to bring you back
>>
>>562078536
I did, it's just not fun. I put way more time into the private test than anything but the game hasn't changed since then. Another developer taking over would make me play it again, Bungie is too retarded to anything right.
>>
>>562078536
I ain't dropping it until I get all the codex entries
>>
>>562078536
I played it a little bit and then gave up because solos was anxiety inducing and tilting when I inevitably die and while trios is fun it's emotionally exhausting to have to be the one trying to engage on mic and make friends every run because my IRLs don't play.

I love thief so much though, I wish I could just run around as her and kill bots.

Games kino through and through. I find myself wanting to play more and more just due to the atmosphere and ambience in runs honestly.
I play solo exclusively and hope they add an end-game activity for solos though as Cryo/Ranked are trios only otherwise I think come next season I'll probably drop off relatively early on.

It's a very good game, the controls and mechanics are refined, smooth. The sound and visuals are good, the matchmaking is clean(no SBMM manipulation).
Ping is king in this game. SBMM games will sacrifice your connection, and put you in top 20% lobbies, when your KD is good. On Marathon, you can stomp average players all day, and the matchmaking doesn't react.
It's a very natural game, which means, you can tell who practiced more. Bad players are not hidden from you.

Crimson Desert doesn't use Unreal, it's a proprietary engine. Dragon Age Veilguard got a 9 from IGN, a 9 doesn't mean anything coming from them.

Imagine if you went to hell and were forced to play a game that is unfun and unrewarding for all of eternity, each day. That's Marathon.

I would have refunded it but I stupidly bought from a third party site.

How are we coping with the fact this game is going F2P soon, meaning a huge surge of hackers and third worlders, and if that still doesn't pay then it's going into EoS?

>Fixed an issue allowing slide cancel animations to keep momentum when either pulling out equipment or Thief's Grapple Device ability.
>Developer Note: One of our core philosophies for Marathon is that rapid repositioning and aggression must always have a meaningful cost. That cost can be an ability charge, heat buildup, or increased risk but it must exist and be understandable to an observer. Unbounded movement, while expressive and clip-worthy, is ultimately unhealthy for the pace of play we want to maintain for Marathon. To set expectations early, we will be looking at any future movement exploits through the same lens.

>If you dropped it, why?
Either i eat shit or lock in, cant just have a podcast run in the background and go for some kills.
The game is way to Shizophrenic in what it wants do be.
Besides, this is the first shooter ive played in 10 years, and its just not fun to get farmed.
Gearfear amplifies it, whipes aoprove my feeling that playing it is a waste of time.
Implants and cores should be something to unlock through gameplay instead of random shit i place into inventory and lose without being able to experiment and get acustomed to it before i lose it without the opportunity to even TRY IT against a a player(Thermal Snippers are fun....)

The game has way to many problems to list them all, and Bungo wont be able to fix it without diluting gameplay further.

>What will make you come back?
To the PVP-Part?
Nothing.
Give me a single player/rougelike mode with a good campaign with a coop mode.

Or better yet, give me my cash back so i can play a game i will actually have fun with.

I dont mind PvP, but asynchron PvP is ass, and i dont want to do (most likely unsuccesfull) humiliation runs to stock up on gear i will ultimately lose, either in a fun way or (more likely) by gay rats and nolife stompers.
And dont act high and mighty, the game has no skill based matchmaking, so it is literally not an skill issue.
Its not fun if i win or lose without a fight, simple as.
>>562083213 this anon got the right idea, just give us a tdm mode where we can pick our equip and have some FUN.
But that woud need an ego humbling for the devs, admiting that they just fucked up in balancing and other parts of the game design.
Besides, there are simply not enough players left to dilute the playerbase even further with different modes.

Its not about losing.

I will not try to do a contract for 10 hours when my progress gets whiped in a month anyway.
I will not engage in build crafting if i cant even test my build before losing it.
I will not attempt a raid i have to lowkey prepare a ritual before i can even enter the queue.
The game is crazy shizophrenic in its design decisions, and normies know it.
Thats why the game doesnt grow.
Thats why the 25% bottom line quits every week.
Thats why everyone makes fun of the game.
No matter whom i told irl laughed at me when i told them that i bought marathon.

I unironicly have a better time discussing this pile of shit and the failures in its design than playing it.

Arc is definitely an ultra-casual game. And I don't mean this in a condescending way, this is just a fact. In Arc, you can chill while looting a building, let go of your mouse to take a drink. In Marathon, you are constantly on alert, and matches feel a lot shorter despite being comparable in length.

The first time I got tired of this shit was probably back when me and my 3 friends played Back 4 Blood. We only did one run of the entire game but we enjoyed our time, we all thought it was fun even if it was hollow a bit. Then the Crowbcat video comes out and, remembering this game, I ask my friends if they want to do another run through and they're just like "nah bro that game actually sucks you can't even interact with fridge doors like left for dead" (they never played L4D more then 20 hours).

Still Marathon is more then just the game. It's the shit company and their terrible decisions. It's also a niche genre most people want nothing to do with and has an extremely decisive art style. The standard for a game like Marathon is "Yea I'm not touching that shit". Maybe if IT WAS FREE more people could give it a chance but alas it is not.

We dont know, Bungie doesnt know.
Thats why Marathon is the game it is.
At the end, all i can say with full confidence is that in 1 month, not even 80% of the playerbase will remain to see their inevitable pivot.
Bungo is at the crossroads right now.
Either they try to salvage marathon, or concentrate on regaining a fraction of the destinyfags to return for the update or dlc.
No matter what they do, sony will gut them, so its basicly a question of what game will receive a final update before the studio gets raped and skinned.

yeah real geniuses at bungie, making this live service game with a long ass grind to try and get players to play it exclusively for years to come, but having absolutely 0 chill game modes. Even if I like marathon I actually don’t always want to be in a state of hyper vigilance. For a little bit perimeter was good for this, I could do trios fill on that, help some people with their contracts and maybe we see one team in free kits or greens. Now thanks to the seasonal level matchmaking every perimeter game has a couple full kit purple/gold squads. Two games in a row my team just gets wiped 15 seconds after spawn near station by a team with thermal longshots. The only thing to do is just play another game and the longer I spend time away from marathon the less inclined I’m gonna be to go back

Have you even played Destiny? SBMM completely ruined the Crucible. It just guaranteed that half of your runs would result in you being melted by one player and the other half was you winning because of another cracked player on your team. It's boring.
>>
Does Triage's trait boost emp also do damage? People seem to die really fast when It's active. Pretty sure Reboot also does significant damage.
>>
>>562096645
Either SBMM is happening or your game dies, simple as.
I dont make the rules i notice them.
You can cope and screech all you want, that's just how it is.

>>
>>562096914
It does not increase damage, but it prevents volt weapon ramp down. Reboot does about a purple shield worth of damage.
>>
>>562096946
The game dies either way, they'll try to do PVE first any way since that's the most requested feature by far.

why the fuck does recon even exist. every part of her kit is just hard countered by signal jammer because everyone uses it, even when they're not her abilities are just fucking dogshit. the spider bot is unreliable at best, the tracking is retarded and most of the time it will just run around in circles unless you practically land it on someones fucking head, even when it detonates on a player they can just avoid it by walking away. prime ability all it does is broacast your fucking position to everyone. if you use it preemptively you get fucked because you completely lose the advantage of surprise. you can't even use it when the fights already started because it takes five business days to activate so you just get flanked if you stop pushing for a second because of how aggresive this game is with everyone running shotguns. her passive is worthless because 90% of the time if you've been pinged you already saw them or you're already dead. the stalker trail is rarely useful because the ttk is low and you can just do the same thing with your ears when they run away to heal. her stats are worse than every other shell and she has 0 utility outside of combat. the only good part of her kit is the ability to ping at any range on a finisher, but again in the current meta it's pretty useless because no one goes for finishers anymore they just shoot you to death because going for a finisher on anyone but the last guy is a death trap and a waste of time, which completely defeats the purpose of the ability. she was obviously designed for a game with a much slower pace and ttk, she literally has no place in the game's current meta and needs to be seriously reworked. no other shell comes anywhere as close to being so utterly useless, you are basically throwing the match if you choose her at this point. which is sad because she is by far the coolest looking shell imo

I'm still playing, nearly 200 hours. Do a lot of solos, have two friends I play with when schedules line up, but they have less time than me so we probably won't make it through all of Cryo's bullshit in one season, we only extract like a third of the time there and I don't have that many vault keys. There's definitely a lot of work to be done to get new players/retain current ones and I'm not sure Bungie will ever actually make progress there.
Also Dire Marsh fucking sucks. No way around it, it's just developed into a cancerous map for anyone to have to play due to 'run through the open' being the only way to traverse POIs.

Stalker is useful in solos, spider grenade is retarded but also fairly useful in solos, her ult is more for your teammates than you, since they know where you are, but not your teammates, so there's at least the asymmetric information there. Interrogation is fuckin useless in all senses though, yeah. She is definitely the worst shell since the next worst shell has double jump which clears her entire kit by itself.
I hope they revisit her and Vandal at some point. I just want Vandal to be able to shoot while power sliding and for her cannon to not explode on myself if I use it near any fucking corner in existence.

>Details below:

>On Wednesday 4/1 at 10am PT we will disable "Dire Marsh - Duos" and enable "Outpost - Duos" Queue.
>Players in pre-made duos will be able to queue into Outpost - Duos. Matchmaking into a duo pair will not be available.
>This experiment will run for 1 week, ending on Wednesday 4/8 at 10 am PT.

>How pvp and pve encounters play out
>How puzzle mechanics work on the map work in duos
>Any technical issues that occur

>Thanks to everyone who has been participating in the duos experiment so far. It's been valuable to observe the data and hear the feedback. We'll continue to beat it up, iterate, and update you as we evolve it.

So in ranked, to increase your value, you have to replace your implants with ones looted from enemies, ruining your build? Seems a bit cooked. Or am I understanding this right?

Can we just stop with the weird matchmaking experiments and get to the sweeping early game changes that might actually get people to stick around or come back? SBMM? Green gear being less expensive? Limited daily free green sponsor kits? Thermals pushed to gold rarity? Less teams on Marsh, Perimeter, and Cryo? Add a score penalty for going over ante in ranked?

Come on we need the big changes NOW.

It's insane, the entire map goes there. My stack killed 3 squads and people kept pouring in, we couldn't loot bodies and were out of regen so we dipped. Tons of rooks too.

>Outpost went from a fairly chill map to Cryo PVP in a single patch
Good. Let me farm normies on Perimeter and Dire Marsh without competition.
>>
>>562112898
I think it's a warden drop only, or extremely rare. Biolens farm is either faction rank up rewards or doing lockdowns. Finding a team willing to farm lockdowns is hard though, especially cause everyone wants that loot.
>>
>>562112913
Goddamn it, of course it did. Outpost was a decent pvp training ground for a while there, with less teams and more fair fights. Guess it's back to green DMRs on Dire Marsh. I refuse to participate in your bubble shotgun panacea kit meta.

You say that, but everyone is basically forced into taking a triage and thief, so it's less flexible than you think. I've probably played more duos than trios at this point and funnily enough pairs work fine without a Triage since fights are a lot more quick and explosive, so you can get a lot more fun team comps going.

You have 4 maps in this game

1. Perimeter. The literal garbage tutorial map they put you in beginner queue to familiarize yourself with the game. It has very little variance. Large open areas. And small pois with little content in them. Most players will go to the hauler or the southwest zone and thats it. Rounds are over in 10 minutes. Shit map that should only be beginner queue or tutorial.

2. Dire marsh. The pvp retard battle royale map. You spawn next to each other at multiple locations which leads to 1 to 2 teams being wiped immediately off the map meaning your true playercount is really about 12-15. Pois are larger than perimeter and have more variance. However they are stretched out by open areas covered in fog. Theoretically this is a good thing, however everyone knows you can thermal sniper cheese the fog so now you have trios of thermal sniper purple teams hunting players through the fogand then aping with shotguns. Rounds devolve into whoever can ape and kill the purples fastest or they wipe the lobby in 10 minutes then spend the rest of the round doing lockdowns and anomalies for gold gear. Worst of the maps.

3. Outpost. Good design finally. Objectives that make sense, proper pois with good spots to shoot each other. Flanking positions, good vents, hidden paths offer good positioning options. Pinwheel is a little too easy once you learn you can just run past the bots in the wings but its still a shitshow half the time with other teams getting there. Rooks are the strongest on this map too so you have to deal with a solo demon wstr rook rolling your shit team sometimes. Heat cascade is gay as fuck. Key locations are gay as fuck. The conveyance request being loot scannable by thiefs for 2 minute pinwheel entrances is gay. Loot inside pinwheel is kinda shit if youre not high level. Best map tho

.
>>
Cryo- cant see shit. Can't figure out where youre supposed to go. Retarded clearance is too scarce to rely on at all. You might just get fucked because in 30 minutes you cant get to level 3 because nothing new ever spawns clearance wise youre just fucked with whatever spawned at round start so even if you get good loot from a good fight if you cant get clearance youre left behind and die. Enemy density and confusing map design only cater to 3 stack no lifers who are stimmed out on their headsets like theyre in a pro tourney playing for money. Everyone else gets shit on. Vaults are esoteric and retarded to do. You cant safe pocket your marathon keys so you'll never get practice doing them so functionally you'll never accomplish them asa normal player. The final boss is a compiler minor after 6 prior vaults open. Bad map

Next "map" is dire marsh with a night skybox. So another thermal rape map. This game and its devs are retarded

I hate pressing that fucking button because it almost instantly puts you on the backfoot because it takes time to pull it out and put it down. Which means the best play is for people to get close to you when you put it up and then they can shit on you when you go to put it down because of the delay and you not being able to offensively act. meanwhile commando robots and shoot with their shield up and slide the fuck around like gundams and shit.

He's fine, you just have to play him aggressively
His ult is mainly just a formality used to kill uesc fast

Third person peaks and pushing corridors with your team. Shield cancels instantly if you slide or double jump

>Whats the point of destroyers riot shield?
Team cover in long range shootouts, literally saves a team member if he is getting sniped and you're close enough to pop the shield. Other then that, it also exerts presence in close quarters, so players facing a destroyer either nade the shit out of them, or the opponents have some form of capability to push while semi-covered. It is a situational tool, but the utility is much more varied than people give it credit.

There's excellent use of the shield and you just have to play around what it forces the enemy to do.
>use shield to push into a choke point
>have your teammates push with you while they're focusing on you, and start to strip their shields
>if they go for the reload, just knife them
>if they pull their knife, jet backwards and kill them with your gun while they're swapping back to a gun
>use shield as a panic button when you suddenly come under too much fire
>use it as a barrier to let your teammate get behind cover for a res or cover your teammate while they're getting a DBNO res off
>rush with the shield out and then shotgun ape people
>in a peek fight, pop back behind cover, raise shield, then re peek, make them waste some ammo, then rush
>if they knife rush you and you have any warning, throw the shield up, let them melee it, jet backwards and begin shooting
It has a fuck ton of utility.

>equip shotgun
>pull your shield out
>bullrush the enemy
>slide to instantly cancel the shield or side dash
>unload into their face and melee if they are still not dead
>repeat
alternatively
>boost around a corner and melee/unload in their face
Destroyer is one of the best shells in the game but if you try to play him like a bunker you will have a bad time

Them making Cryo sweats only was such a retarded move. They should have had a low stakes mode so people could at least run the map like a normal pub raid.

>>562126043
Every map is sweats only, at least for Alysafag and SBMMsissy poster
