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

>>563672270
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.

>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

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s hilarious how the normoid fanbase is begging for a PVE mode, it’s extremely clear that marathon has failed. Most people don’t want to play it, they want to turn it into something else

>>563680689
I just had the worst day in a long time because I was trying to be an ambassador for C.A.R.R.I. No one wanted to team with me in the hours I gave to the game today. I was playing on Perimeter, the most trash loot pool available so I could farm some commendations. Nope. Once when I died, I saw the POV of two thieves teaming up together, bunny hopping in unison. Fuck CARRI; I wouldn't be throwing my games if I wasn't trying to play nice. It was over 70% of people that I would run into that I could've killed outright easily, the other percentile is undecided as I would've at least fought back. Fuck CARRI.

This right here is sadly why Marathon will never hit mass appeal, you have to actually use your brain a majority of the time. People flat out cannot do that anymore and just do the dumbest shit possible and then get mad at the game instead of themselves for being stupid

>>563698304
The players being absolutely abysmal to interact with is ANOTHER reason it won’t ever hit mass appeal.

If Destiny 2 is any indication, Bungie won’t do a thing about them. This is not good in a game where the PvP is forced.

>>563698401
This in particular. Yes players can do shit plays and blame everyone but themselves for it, but there’s also a fair amount of elitist nerds in the Marathon 2026 fandom.

>>563703013
idk how many times after a fight and i’ve died and im about to to get knifed ive said “gg boys”, just to be told im bad or get fucked or some variation of that. id rather them just call me a nigger.

is cryo the only thing you cant do solo or is there more content that solos are locked out of?

>>563703870
>is there more content that solos are locked out of?
having a good time.

>>563702546
There's more loot in the map than you can carry alone! Two rooks can carry twice as much. Then we exfil together and we get even MORE loot! How can your dumb monkey brain not realize you're leaving money on the table? I don't even have good shit, you'll just leave my kit to rot.

They should spawn a ghost deathsquad when you sit in one spot for a minute or more, I think that would be a considerable improvement.

I hate this game so god damn much. It's the war between the haves and the have nots, and bungie keeps pulling the ladder up so only roided gold junkies prosper. Please just die so I can move on with my life.

>>563706814
you can stop playing whenever you want, it's okay. go borrow some library books. get a copy of dazai's flowers of baffoonery, gene wolfe's shadow and claw, and murakami's norwegian wood. maybe rachel cusk's outline if you're feeling adventurous, idk, i've only read a preview but the prose felt nice. anyway read more books and you'll feel better. lift weights too, it'll help lower your stress if you do it consistently enough.

if you're the sunk cost anon from yesterday or the day before: your time is only wasted if you don't learn anything. if you spent your time playing marathon and you learned you don't like it, your time wasn't wasted. you learned you don't like extraction fps games and now know you can not play them without feeling like you're missing out on anything good. you spent your time well and can leave it behind.

>>563703870
>>563680689
Absolutley not. Solo only started during the beta. It's not a priority and it shows. Solo isn't for the free kit test for example. And the focus is still teams. They may never bother balancing solo ever.

What, no lifers get everything worth getting in the first few weeks, they use it to leverage gaining more and more, and then the devs nerf the rarity of items so they're not as easy to abuse, only the early adopters have stacks and stacks and it only ends up hurting everyone else? That's a extraction shooter staple or something?

It's the perfect mode for practicing third party situations. 1V3 there like you're not facing 3 teammates, but 3 enemy players. Really tests how fast you can change plans on the go.
Regular mode has players with more HP and faster healing items, you won't have the chance to try different tricks.

The best time to play Marathon is from 7PM to 1AM, you get some life-having people to stomp on.
They may not be as terrible as noobs, but they get nervous and/or scared of smoke, and ambushes.

it succeeded at being a good, difficult game. So challenging, only the people who are good at video games can get wins.
Marathon opened a lot of people's eyes, the vast majority of modern video game consumers suck dick at video games.

Arc's player interactions are fake, grouped up by a low-damage matchmaking algorithm.
Remove SBMM and every Arc lobby will be a ratted/raped hellhole.

Honestly, the knife needs to be nerfed further in future free kit modes, shit is not fun. The pacing of matches play exactly the same

i don't think bungie even know what they're doing, at this point it just seems like they're floundering and grasping at straws to retain players. there is no way the mercy kit would have any hope of working if it weren't for prox chat which they were heavily against and extremely reluctant to add. the biggest problem with the game is matchmaking that lets premades dominate fill trios and how easy it is for them to snowball beacause of it
>>563713382
i assumed this was what it would devolve into but i haven't seen it happen yet. i don't think anyone will bother doing that when the meta is just to magdump downed players right away because of self revives being so retarded, and sweats don't want to waste more time than needed when they're clearing the map and constantly rotating to find the next team to stomp

It's a very good game, I love searching for those, who want to exfil. When they desire to leave successfully, that's when I kill them.
It's my pleasure.

You can run around in my lobby and scream "I have red guns and gold shit, and I won't shoot back".
I'm still not gonna shoot you, I only want those, who're trying to exfil. I don't give a fuck about anything else.
You want to exfil, I want to kill you. Nothing else matters.

I'm already tired of being raped by obvious premades with chinese names and all wearing cryo skins on sponsored dire marsh. It's obvious these people don't care about whatever bone bungie throws to appease them like ranked or cryo, all they want to do is curbstomp fill trio retards even when there is no gear to be gained.

I wake up every day and am in disbelief they launched the game in this state. It's a tech demo and they launched it. Barely anything to do in the game mid season. Failed attempt to cater to casuals and onboard new players has left the foot traffic catastrophically low. I thought they were more conservative with their money and their reputation than this, and well... Here we are.

>>563743052

Wait, would the kart racing still have rape?

>>563747185
I was expecting something like a Halo ripoff, maybe squad based, maybe live serviceish. More like The Division but with cooler envrionments. I was still expecting to work towards the "continuous mmo" that they had dreamed of all the way back in the mac days.

The vE part being a full step backwards from Halo was a stinger. No vertical ability. No movement unpredictabiliyt.

>>563748225
Part of me things that's why they walled it off so much so pretty much none of the people who knew what a compiller was back in the day got to play it. There are goddam phone games with more razzle dazzle on their bossfights.

this is true but also wouldn't be as much of an issue if they put literally any effort into setpieces desu
the final mida quest is awesome because gantry hijacks a lockdown ship to display mida graffiti and then uses it broadcasts a schizo rant the entire lobby can hear, but it's basically the only quest in the game like that, everything else is just "interact with a terminal and then interact with a terminal on the other side of the map"

I don't think these "characters" could have worked for anything else. Except for Durandal, obviously, but he is barely here. While I do think they should make / should have made a remake of Marathon 1 in this style, everything in Marathon is so perfectly designed for its purpose that I can't wish for it to be used elsewhere, because that just wouldn't work. I just want the said purpose to be further refined so that I can enjoy it better and for longer.

Yes, exactly. Even The Division could make a set piece fight feel exciting from time to time.
the also have this entire fucking map, full of computers and greeble stations, and you still have to funnel EVERY SINGLE QUEST in diremarsh through Bio Research, and use a single fucking synthesizer. Who the fuck though that wouldn't get old and or be exploitable by campers? Everyone goes to the exact same locations every map. There's no searching, guessing, hoping that you find what you're looking for.

Playing Marathon the legit way, it doesn't need any manipulation to "rinse off an algorithm."
For Arc, I set up a Cronus script, so the Cronus device makes my character run around and die endlessly, while I sleep. When I wake up, my "Aggression Level" is rinsed off. I'm back in PvE lobbies and killing those, who wanna extract.
I will not let a matchmaking system "put me" in certain lobbies. I will do as I wish, no compromise.
