wdym purchase things? Theres a store before each match?
empty estuary
Yes
bright crown
empty estuary
Thats why you upgrade factions
They give you the privelage of being able to purchase more gear to give you an edge over other players
lusty bridge
So four maps for $40

At launch
Arc raiders has more if you want a more casual friendly and varied experience
balmy mason
Wait, so you are jumping in Marathon Fry?
empty estuary
Yeah i might as well
lusty bridge
Arc raiders has more if you want a more casual friendly and varied experience
I dont like that art style. I like the realistic lighting of Marathon
Also its not bungie
empty estuary
Well you have a free playtest to decide
But if youre buying into a divisive genre because you like the lighting and because its bungie, youre gonna get hit with massive culture shock
You seem very adverse to how the genre works
lusty bridge
Do the shells have progression
balmy mason
No
blissful pagoda
balmy mason
Like the gun, you will have to slot in upgrades

empty estuary
Everything regarding your build is loot you can lose
Hence why you work your factions
lusty bridge
You seem very adverse to how the genre works
I dont let games tell me how to game. Thats why I mod Skyrim and every other single player
empty estuary
The game isnt telling you how to play
You press the buttons
The shells you play, the weapons you use, what you risk, thats all up to you
balmy mason
Let put it in simpler terms: Imagine loading into a PvP match in [redacted]. All the guns you bring with you and their perks, all the armour on you and the mods in them. All of those will be lost if you die.
Then you will have to regrind/buy each of those guns, their perks, armour and their mods
empty estuary
The ammo too
lusty bridge
Let put it in simpler terms: Imagine loading into a PvP match in [redacted]. All...
I got that part from the beginning. But then bungie started saying there were different shells with different abilities
empty estuary
Even your buffs, healing items, other consumables, your shield charges
There are
But you make them better with loot
Loot that you can lose
Your only persistant progression between matches is factions
balmy mason
Abilities are tied to shell. They are fixed
lusty bridge
So all abilities are unlocked. Loot just improves them

Yes

Extraction shooters are inherently gambles

Tarkov was just the most compelling one

I was there for Last of Us pvp mode
empty estuary
The hunt is lower risk but it tries cool shit
lusty bridge
I was there for Last of Us pvp mode
This game mode taught me the art of running at enemies, not avoiding them
If I died I died
empty estuary
Marathon is gonna teach you the opposite
hollow mica

Seems like the shell with the drones is gonna be meta

As it stands arc raiders still very much beats out marathon in being a friendly extraction shooter

the former having eastern europe to carry it

Also another thing i think will be problematic long term is a lack of solo lobbies

arc just looks like babies first shooter with how it handles matchmaking and whatnot

Bungie is very anti solos and i think thatll be a hurdle that needs to be addressed down the line

I just kinda feel like extraction shooters can hit some particular bells with modern gamers, and marathon might be the mainstream push the genre needs
extraction shooters in the traditional pvp gremlin terms mind you

it's just kinda hardcore pvp
it's punishing, and probably good enough to leave you wanting to get better at it

We’ve already seen from the weapon mod system the kind of weird shit they’re willing to add
I hope with the raid mechanics that players attempting to gank you will also have to perform some mechanics themselves to reach you. Like if each encounter was segmented from the last and the only way to catch a team would be to redo all the encounters they’ve finished faster than they can progress

Thats what im worried about with a mechanic focused map

I mean sure but I'm not sure I see your point. At least CS very much is a punishing pvp shooter. The games I mentioned are all punishing pvp games.
my main point is that punishing pvp with a high skill ceiling is definitely not a game killer

yeah sure, but again I'm not sure how that changes anything. you were saying you weren't sure the average consumer wants punishing pvp from a game, my point is that punishing pvp is among the bigger mainstream things you can find in games rn
if you want to go on the topic of accessibility, marathon is fairly cheap and see to be very well optimized.

I do think solo lobbies are definitely something bungie will have to have an attitude shift on at some point because even in the playtests, if you were a day or two behind, matchmade lobbies were not cooperative at all and would split up very fast to do their shit, leaving your loot at risk and a very bleak chance of getting any new loot out
vagrant summit
I mean I generally agree, but I feel like after a few days people were all caught up and just playing to play anyway
hollow gulch
If they never add solo lobbies, I’ll probably never play consistently. Even with a rook.
vagrant summit
quests do split up groups a little bit, but there are short lived

i was gonna say, despite cs being punishing its free and runs on literally anything while marathon is 40 bucks

yes but again why would that matter. People don't keep playing cs for 200 hours because it's free, they play it because they like the grind and the punishing pvp mindset of it all
like yeah cs is more easily accessible baseline than marathon, I'm just not sure what that has to do with anything
hollow gulch
It might be important to mention that marathon, if it does have a hardcore PVP environment, is an extraction shooter. Meaning that there is an investment cost to playing that PVP

Rooks cant do faction objectives iirc which is also rough
vagrant summit
yes
olive steeple
like yeah cs is more easily accessible baseline than marathon, I'm just not sure...
agree to disagree
hollow gulch
Rooks cant do faction objectives iirc which is also rough
so i cant even do my pve as a solo
empty estuary
Yeah thats why the lack of solos may be problematic down the line
Soooo many of my matches went to shit because everyone would split up tryong to solo their stuff
And with MORE factions to approach thats only gonna get more problematic
vagrant summit
towards the end of the playtest that was basically a non issue is all I'll say
hollow gulch
And with MORE factions to approach thats only gonna get more problematic
Are fireteams not made with factions in mind?
vagrant summit
I just feel like, while it's not great, it's also not long lived nearly enough to be a real problem

Probably a good idea for matchmaking’s sake, but it seems only natural to have faction-based fireteams be the standard of matchmaking quality
Obviously a lore reason for it as well

I kinda do like it as a weight in the matchmaking tbh
there is still the fact that this was all during a beta
I would understand if, for example, they removed a lot of those weights in favor of better connection/better match loading times to maximize feedback on gameplay and such
empty estuary
I do like the idea of Rook, but o think ot wont be enough for the solo audience long term
I think itll end up being the shell skilled players run to try and ego squads when theyre bored
hollow gulch
Depends on what exactly rooks will have available, I don’t remember exactly what all you come in with and what all you can leave with
I just know that you are very limited
vagrant summit
you come in with basically nothing (I think like a basic shitty gun a 20 or 30 rounds) and can get out with everything you want
the general rook gameplay loop is steal anything that isn't nailed to the ground, goop all you can, potentially rat your way into a couple kills, and get the hell out
hollow gulch
Sounds like a good time if the shitrifle feels good to shoot
empty estuary
It got nerfed
vagrant summit
well it's a shitty pistol, but it's a good felling shitty pistol
yeah I had some fun with rook. It's super low risk, and sometimes you get some nice loot for your next real runs
hollow gulch
My favorite playstyle in extractions is the roof warlord with the 40x scope plinking randoms across the terrain. Don’t even care if I kill them and get their loot.
empty estuary
The weapon variety was horrid in the alpha so they mentioned toning it and the lmg down because those were all you needed, not even the rarer weapons
They did buff the pistol though
vagrant summit
but realistically I mostly played with the scout/pulse and those were fucking insane
empty estuary
The shotgun was insanely overtuned
vagrant summit
oh I saw a shitload of double barrels and I played the absolute shit out of them. They were broken
the team wipes I hit with it were so fucking funny
the long shotgun was mid af
empty estuary
Hopefully it got a hard nerf with weapons being more varied
vagrant summit
I expect people will play around it
and I expect they'll kill its rpm and spread a little
the damage and handling made sense, but it was just a little to mid range-y and a little too fast to shoot
but yeah the pulse, scout, shotty were my favorite. I hope I'll see more of the rarer weapons
when we played a lot with uke we started having enough shit to run real loadouts with flechette and heavy rounds and real weapons and it was so much fun
