It's been a while since I've played solo. Tips for not dying immediately?

Use signal jammers, since you can buy them now.

>If a player has a mic in solos and is generally willing to talk, they tend to be friendly from my experience.

Har har har. CARRII my fat fucking ass!! No one will listen to me asking for link ups. I hate this update because no one fucking plays nice and now I'm trying to play nice but everyone is a trigger happy moron
>>
>>563672603
As long as Arachne exists as it dies now, there is NO reason to be friendly. He'll, as long as you get xp for downing and killing runners, there's no reason to ever be friendly.

Maybe they'll make a friendly faction o_O
>>
>>563672730
Which is why I hate this update. It should've been baked into the game that there's two ways to approach runs, but now that everyone has been psyop'd into stone cold killers, no one knows how to play in groups. Fuck you, bungie, I hope you shutter this game down and build it back from the ground up, this time with more than one god damn ultimatum for players.
>>
>>563672270
Get under the bridge/in that truck/under cover within the first 10-15 seconds and then wait for probably 90 seconds. People rushing each other or immediately traversing POIs in the first 2 minutes are the deadliest part of Dire Marsh. If you were stationary and hidden even if you weren't looking that direction there's a good chance you'd hear that guy sprinting and be able to take him by surprise, or he'd be off the initial pathing that made you collide in the first place.

Just lost a 10k kit to an assassin that was just sitting in pinwheel for 20 minutes
>>
>>563672730
As long as the TTK is as low as it is there's no reason to be friendly. I'm never going to trust someone when they can drop me literally any time I open a container in their field of vision; I might risk it on a Rook/freekit run but if I've got actual gear I am going to kill you every time because it's just too easy for you to backstab me. I honestly think the only way they can make solos friendly would be an item that temporarily makes you invincible to each other as if you were in a squad.
>>
>>563673347
This game is pozzed like that

Bungie rewards passive playing dickbutts and rains hell down on active players
>>
>>563672603
>>563673041
Oh it's way fucking worse from what I'm seeing in Asia. The big discord teams are now incentivized and legitimized. Premade groups on solo and teams of 5-9 don't look as glow in the dark cheating as they do. And they can have only one disposable account with the cheats, that passes intel to the rest of the group.

>>563672270
Get x ray cheats and run the fuck away from anyone running at your spawn. Or just recognize people trying to overrun your spawn in the first 60 seconds is the biggest risk.
>>
>>563673440
Its untrusting cockwarts like you that are making people quit the game. Carri me straight into the garbage why don't you?
>>
>>563673440
What if the mercy kit effectively forces enemy players into a squad with you? less mercy more mindrape.

>got the jump on a player but whiffed the last shots I would have needed to kill him and died for it

Was able to finally do this Traxus quest in Command Wing unmolested. Tried leaving through locked exfil in pinwheel but I saw a thief drone and said nope and left through a vent. Nearly died to the guarded exfil purple commander but I got out.
>>
>>563674798
i've had exfils where i almost got finished off while downed by the uesc too it's pretty fun to watch

I died to a subhuman assassin sitting in a corner by the red keycard once (purple shield, wstr)
looked up him, he literally posted a video getting ratted on last minute by command wing vent and really said "this dude needs to get a life" LOL actual trash

why don't they add a mode that puts premades against premades and fill trios against other fill trios?

that would be great, seriously.

they do this shit on purpose, right?

i wouldn't care about dying so much if it weren't because finding a match takes minutes.

Trying it oiut and it's a VERY bad mode holy fuck, it's all about being the last time to arrive at the designated teamfight spot or else you lose.
>>563678204
This needs to happen immediately.
>>
>>563678204
why do you think you deserve lube?
it'd split queues in an already shrinking playerbase so they're probably hesitant but it's really stupid to not work this way from the start

You're supposed to lift weights during that time.
I was a D2 Crucible addict that started lifting weights between matches 8 years ago. Im pretty jacked now.
>>
>everyone hype for freekit
>it's 50x worse than base mode
Lmao holy fuck all that happens is teams collapse onto any sort of gunfire making it EVEN MORE INCENTIVIZED TO KILL EVERYONE ASAP as if that wasn't Marathon's biggest issue. Not to mention there is nothing worth looting somehow, feels like they reduced loot rewards.

Gray Zone AI will fuck you up if you give them the opportunity to, actually almost died moving through Pha Lang for a quest.

Is captcha fucked?

hopefully it means the end of this shithole soon

>>563670468
with the mid season update has the game become worth buying as a mainly solo player that might sometimes do crew fill?

My fault for doing trio fill, I guess.
>>
>>563680540
Captcha works for me, its just that the posting speed is fucked. And occasionally I get cloudflare errors too.

>>563680689
Depending on who you play with you might find yourself getting raped slightly less, and its at least easier to bounce back from a bad string of losses. But this is still a rape-happy extraction shooter, so you'll have to decide for yourself whether that's worth it or not.

>>563680928
would be better if this game didn't suck
not your fault
>>
>>563680661
I genuinely don't know where I'd go for gaming discussion without 4channel
I trust the schitzos and cynical autists infinitely more than I trust the legions of sycophantic cringelords on Reddit or the 16 year olds on Discord
