Knows very heavily how to hit algorithm and get his audience talking. Dude literally only spoke about how shit the game. During his FFXIV arc (where he also never played the game to any functionable measure) there were people who told him to try Destiny and he just denied it outright by saying he'll never touch that garbage. Now he goes ahead and rides on the coattails of the pissed off Destiny players to crank up viewership. It's nothing new to him, if anything i'll always be puzzled why the troglodyte has the audience he does. He might as well shoot someone on stream and his audience would worship the ground he walks on.

I think the reinforcements are fine for trios, but it's kind of absurd for solos. It's doable, but the burden is absurdly higher. Scorch Warden I think is the absolute fuckin worst since his shield comes back so fast, so it's a ridiculous cycle of

Ghosts and Ghost Commanders have gone from using player communication wheel commands to also mimicking footsteps while they're standing still. It's pretty easy to differentiate as it's usually a running pace and being so close (and the distance doesn't change), but it can definitely throw people off in Solo.

It's a PvP game. My nigger of a neighbor has spent the last 20 years playing De_dust2 in various formats and i never see the CS players complain that they run out of things to do even if they religiously play one map for years on end. I can understand the frustration on the people who speedrun what is effectively the PvE side of the game, but on one hand i cannot understand what you're hoping awaits at the other end of the rope.

I ran a lot of Outpost today. Hit pinwheel red key room and command room about a dozen times, half a dozen convoys and wardens. I haven't seen a single piece of gold salvage drop, and not many other gold items - two shields, some implants that are, sorry, underwhelming as fuck, two weapon mods.
My attempts to run Cryo fill in the breaks ended up in 0% exfil rate.

I'll never fucking get it. You spent 400 hours literally running a rat race. It's not like the rest of the game goes away once you've killed the Compiler either. Even then, there were more pressing issues on the progression front than the 400 hour 20 Compile kills people. Solos can't enter Cryo, basically had halved progress in comparison to teams (mostly because Bungie being retarded in terms of the xp gains as usual) and those with Compiler clears in percentages still count in the single digits mostly because most people just don't bother in the first place. I've cleared Cryo, but i never saw it as some end-all, be all. It's a sweaty end-game PvP map with an introductory boss battle for the other PvE faction and that's it. It'll still remain around in the future and it's position at the end-rung of the progression ladder will continue, even when the next upcoming maps and changes are aimed at the mid-progression steps.

>Lack of any reasonable path to finishing faction upgrades for people without dedicated Cryo and key farm teams is going to be a problem long run for sure.
The easy fix is to just ante up the mid risk maps (Marsh/Night Marsh) and Prestige key rooms to be more worth their weight. It cannot be a prerequisite that everyone runs Cryo. They should instead make Cryo a damn Christmas tree in terms of upgrade materials at every turn, which it technically is but something like Alien Alloy is way too rare currently.
>>
>>568030428
Matter Fixatives should be guaranteed drops from Commanders.

Players shouldn't be punished with losing a key template by something that is completely out of their control (bad RNG).

It's got nothing to do with economy and more to do with trying to make people stop sitting in corners jerking off with the keys until an early exfil. The problem obviously is that some people get luckier with the fixatives, so they never thought up the idea of actually making them guaranteed so it is a band-aid solution at best.

Fuck key rooms. Fuck this entire system.

The issue is that Bungie obviously adjusted the value of items inside the Prestige key rooms way too low and then added the bells and whistles without increasing the reward. On one hand i get that making it risky is part and parcel for how things work, but the payoff better be fucking massive. Instead you'll likely get one Prestige Salvage and a bunch of garbage. Pinwheel also had this issue in terms of pure value on the map, everything in the current economy is way too cheap in terms of risk vs. value. The only one that has it sorted is Cryo, but it's also the very end of the progression ladder. Hopefully Ziegler and the rest of the devs just start overhauling specifically that part of progression because nothing hurts more than subpar rewards for spending something rare.

Yes, and still it's special. Marathon 2026(season one) is so pure, unfiltered, straight up brutal. It's beautiful. There has been no AAA game like it, in the last 10 years.

I'm seriously about to lose my fucking mind. I just want to beat the Compiler and be done with the game. I'm about to snap and am actually considering installing cheats just to do this shit.

Imagine enslaving yourself to do stuff like Compiler and Ranked mode lmao.

>Bro...
What? It's good now, fill teammates are decent players. At launch, we had bad players. You can kill a premade with medium difficulty, ask a teammate to do something.
>Can you take this Flechete, throw it in the room when I walk in
Or
>Can you take this bomb, and throw it next to that blue thing
You can throw stuff together with them, what's a premade gonna do? The only way for giga squads to win, is to stay on a roof, before you get there.
Run away, leave when they're already on the roof. Fuck them, exfil and play another match.

P.S. give your teammates advice, say "let's shoot them when they're shooting something, not when they're just moving". This way, the randoms won't fuck up the ambush.

I'm gonna be honest here for a moment, though this take isn't so hot:

I'm gonna miss Destiny and would jump in head first if they made D3. But I'm also enjoying Marathon a lot, though I think I'd enjoy a looter shooter in this universe more than an extraction shooter because the concept of losing your gear is awful, and probably the main reason the genre never got big.
>>
Marathon desperately needs a hub area like in Destiny
>>
>>568038113
>the concept of losing your gear is awful,
Dying matters, this game is special, unlike many other AAA shooters. Season one was something beautiful, so pure, every day I played it with a hard on. I'm 7.4 inches btw

You might get your wish to a degree with whatever PvE modes they try and introduce to the game but losing your gear is kind of the nature of the beast.

>losing your gear is kind of the nature of the beast.

Yeah I know, just saying. I'm probably not the only one who feels that way, Destiny certainly nurtured a hoarding mentality in most players,

Deus Vult I'm gonna keep enjoying the real game(Season one) and when it ends, delete it.

The worst feeling is knowing you could beat a gold squad if your fill teammates had more than 2 braincells
>>
The worst feeling is losing respect for Bungie, because they did not refuse to "experiment" with easy modes.
Even vagina games like Aгc Raideгs doesn't have an option to remove PvP. Not having this option, makes it a better game.

Green guy on the left locked himself in the spider-throwing animation. Purple guy on the right had a big rock in front of him, and decided to shoot my teammate.

im not opposed to things absolutely sucking and enjoying that, just trying to think how they could make casual players (like me, i fully admit) be able to engage with cryo more. imo being able to retry keys would let people keep losing all of their gear to sweats, but have a reason to keep trying.

imagine, rather than
>i brought in my best loadout and key, died to sweats, and logged off
we had
>i brought in my best, 2nd best, 3rd, ... loadout and the same key and died to sweats

they can do whatever they want to make a system like that work. maybe even on death you drop a fragile version of the key you had in your safe pocket and lose trace status on the version that you kept from death.

God forbid anons form a community and make friends. Based basement dweller staying isolated and doomposting at eachother.
>>
>>568043526
You don't sound like a casual player, you're discussing the game in depth. What are sweats to you? Those, who play faster? That's mechanical skill, it's reactive.
You can beat them, by being proactive.

I get it, you think it would be nice, if the loss wasn't so extreme, and you could keep something, to try again. And you're right. It would be nice for non-pvp obsessed players.
>>
>>568044478
FYI I said I would join, but didn't doompost. Someone else did.
I like /mg/, you're my friends, along with /codg/.
>>
On one hand, I like /mg/, and I want the game to be more fun for you. You want keys, PvE progress, story content.

On the other hand, I fucking love inflicting PAIN on others, and practice hard to do it. I trained so much, over and over

former mmo and d2 player, design systems for a living
>What are sweats to you?
more invested players with more playtime, not saying it to be derisive or anything. atm im lvl 90ish and often see 200-300 rank on teams that obviously will win cryo lobbies. its hard to survive gold misriah when they know how to push with better map knowledge and the element of surprise.
>if the loss wasn't so extreme
lets be honest, aside from meta progression towards AI subroutines you arent getting that much more value out of vaults than if you were to farm purple keys in other maps or play ranked. the pain isnt losing 10-30k, its losing the chance to keep trying.

>>568046141
>I fucking love inflicting PAIN on others
this has to stay, so let people grind themselves down on the same key a few times
>You want keys, PvE progress, story content
already a light at the end of the tunnel since bungie has to go all in on s3 and beyond with all of the destiny developers being reassigned.

Whichever Anon it was that suggested I just use a mercy kit on someone while they're in the smoke and then kill them again with SND active, it worked, you're a genius, I finally have my Shadow Index skin. I can now play other shells guilt free.

Have a sneak peak at a Femstroyer I've been working on as reward in celebration of this momentous occasion.

Hype inspector here
We are disappointed in your progress with the marathon general and we have come to inform you that any more drops in thread activity will result in your generals closure.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see your progress by the end of next month
