it's time for a post-mortem
what killed marathon?

Today I locked in and got the job done
>>
>>564934383
it ain't dead yet

For solo outpost, most reliable method to enter into pinwheel?
A) Default entrance (yellow, green, green) and kill the bots
B) Search for conveyance request
C) Destroyed wing
D) Wait for someone else to do A, B or C
>>
>>564935702
All of the above, depends how the round is going

Alright autism relatively sated with Outpost. I should add Vault 7 stuff to the cryo map, that may be relevant to me some day. I guess I could do one for Dire Marsh but I feel like the only interesting thing to find there would be the potential locations anomalies/stabilizers could spawn, and mapping out the bio-research/greenhouse/ai-uplink tunnels, which aren't that interesting.
>>
>Old thread not even at 750
It's not a race, it's a marathon...
>>
All bad things come to an end, as they say....
>>
>>564938265
Regarding the destroyed win access, is it 5 switches total across all these spawns or are there more but you only need to get 5?
>>
>>564940116
Those are the potential spawns, in each lobby only 5 will spawn in and all 5 need to be destroyed to turn off the forcefields.
>>
>>564940207
Dang that's a lot of potential spawn locations.
>>
>MIDA wants me to go right next to the fucking lift, open a key door, and then exfil
Fuck you, Sekiguchi quests wrrent this bad and there's still the final set of midi ones after this
>>
>>564940351
Yep, they made getting in via destroyed wing/drone wing a lot fuckin harder than they were at launch. Destroyed Wing isn't so bad though, the majority of the spawns are visible from the exterior, so starting from the garage on the west, you can pretty quickly traverse over the roof and check well over half of them in like 45 seconds.

Stellar work anon.
Key rooms entrances/exits would be useful if your autism isn't sated yet.
>>
>story mission on outpost
guess i'll never find out how the story ends haha
>>
>>564941435
Key rooms like bring a key in? I wasn't aware they even had exits aside from the obvious ones.
>>
>>564941630
Just smash through them with freekits. It takes a few attempts to get lucky but even the ones that require you to get into Pinwheel are doable. Just react to every player step sound by loudly announcing you are a freekit on a quest and you don't even loot containers. You have a small chance of someone actually letting you live. Past that it's just rolling the dice enough times.
>>
>>564941909
last time a free kit told me he was on the last MIDA quest I decided to just suicide by UESCop and let him have my kit. I hope the lil guy got it done I realized like 30 seconds after that it probably would've been more helpful if I had just fucking helped him but I'm not very smart
>>
Can you guys make sure the game stays alive for s2 when they fix everything? Thanks
>>
>>564942280
It probably will but they'll announce EOS two weeks in.

B-but dire marsh with a night skybox... surely the thermals wont be an issue...
>>
>>564941630
Man I got 3 for Outpost right now, one needs command wing. Feels like a lot of effort, the game seems more fun when you just do basic contracts and fuck around in Perim desu. Sometimes you win and get a new gun, sometimes you don't and start again with freekit or another loadout, it doesn't matter.
>>
>>564943176
I doubt they'll do a good job with the lighting, it will just be a blue filter. You can't see more than 50m half the time anyway with fog or rain.
>>
>>564941818
Yeah, some have extra exits, like the one in perimeter data wall has a vent exit that drops you below and to the side of its entrance. Also vault exits could be super useful.

It's a lot for one team as a dedicated effort, which makes me think the intended use is for the first team to spawn there to pick off a couple and the impending swarm of rooks to actually finish it off

It's literally just the same retarded jjk rape-obsessed anon replying to himself multiple times
the general is kind of fucked cause people who are actually playing the game are just...playing the game, and are gone for 20-30 mins at a time, so all that leaves to post in the meantime is the mentally ill avatarfags who post more then they play and the chart posters, which just makes the general have an awful vibe that throws people off from wanting to post here, which only perpetuates shit more.

Due to the fact had they had hot guides on how to get rich quick by invalidating the map and not having to dealing with players in under 8 minutes.

>>564934383
Streamers/content creators killed this fucking game. No question. Everything bad about it is directly related to catering to them or as shown above patching to prevent them from destroying the gameplay loop with guides.

That actually makes perfect sense one of them is staying true to the game intention, you have a random chance of finding someone willing to help you through prox chat verses you paid a raid run crew to fly next to you and dominate the map.
>>
>>564968641
> paid a raid run
lmao or you can have several friends. it's actually a legit strat now, i've been able to actually clear cryo this weekend. do people complain? no doubt. Will bungie ever actually take actions against it? NOPE! Teaming is here to stay and will only get worse once more people realize how easy it is

Is there an exact health value for Destroyer's barricade? I get mixed messages about how fast it should break, sometimes it will hold up to a ton of gun fire, other times it will fall to a few precision rifle shots.

game sucks, shroud keeps saying this is the greatest game ever made and he stopped playing within one month. he played arc raiders way longer than that and he hates arc now. game is not super engaging and gets old quick.
>>
The more I play extraction shooters the more I'd just rather cut to the chase and play counterstrike or some shit. Be it I'm the one camping a key room exit/exfil or I'm the one being camped, most engagements end too quickly to make it feel like more than a gank, as opposed to anything skillful.
>>
>>564971983
It really does seem like the Marathon player base is even older than the Destiny player base. Zoomers and Gen Alpha dropped this game fast.
>>
>>564972857
If the loadout system was streamlined and matchmaking took 10 seconds the game would feel a lot better to play continuously but for obvious reasons neither of those will happen and your time just ultimately feels a bit wasted most times you boot up the game
>>
>>564973186
Its because most Bungie fans are straight up uncs or gamer dads. For most zoomies or gen alpha, they're probably more familiar with Bungie for Destiny 1/2 at launch or Halo at most.
>>
>>564973396

I find them held back by how long the rounds are. As players get better at understanding the maps and refine their gameplay tasks, it just boils down to who's willing to be more degenerate about their time. At least counterstrike has the courtesy of ending quickly.
