thats fine

UH NO THIS IS FINE AS IT IS. THE GAME IS MEANT TO BE HARD. MAYBE YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY? MAYBE PLAY MORE IT WILL GET BETTER

>>559171351
its higher ttk. ttk means time to kill

>>559171456
sorry anon im having a schizophrenic episode and mixed it up.
just something to keep in mind when people propose changes to the system to make it casually steamlined then turn around and deny the ttk needs to be fixing because its supposed to be hardcore

>>559171519
i like the ui and think its fine. I think the ttk could be higher.
Itd make encounters more interesting

>>559171351
The difference is the UI doesn't get better through upgrades and equipment.
TTK does.

>>559171889
i dont think theres anything in the mods and skill upgrades that are going to make you kill faster. the guns alone do all the heavy lifting. the only mod that actually does increase TTK is some niche thing like you do more precision damage only when you overheat.

>>559170845
Showing Exfil rate at all is a odd thing because by the very nature of these games the majority of players will be killed in action. It's pretty much a useless stat to present since it makes zero sense in the context of the genre.
I'm struggling to come up with a comparison because it's that odd of a statistic, it's like I dunno cycled through weapons in CS or something. A number that doesn't mean anything.
You know, because it's a competitive game, someone has to win and therefore someone has to lose.
Arc Raiders is the only real exception with the PvE focused "bracket" that boosts the total exfil number up.

>>559172749
I imagine if that were split by solo/crew Assassin wouldn't be the top pick. It's just too fucking powerful in solos to be invisible whenever the fuck you want.

>>559173075
reason why they didn't want to include average kill time or something like average time people stay alive

you people dont get it ttk is like how long it takes you to on average melt a players hp bar and lets be honest the shields is a second hp.
Increasing it will not harm the game at all for A very important reason. There are no recharging shields by default. Even if the ttk was increasing, the damage you did to a player shield or hp would mean they still need to heal up and recharge and thats going to cost them. So its nit like other previous shit games where you scratch a shield and it just recharges, and the dmg was a waste.
It would make the battles a more interesting cat and mouse if the shells were more durable. With bolder plays and more back and forth shooting
people that play bad would still get wiped in seconds but people who dont wont

>>559173028
If he had no shield there he'd be downed.
That's not insignificant.
Also he's retarded. Never peek an angle the same way twice, next hit is going to be trained on your head, as that's exactly what happened here.

i dont know why people are lapping it up with YES MASTER PUNISH ME MORE I LOVE DYING AAAAAAAAAAH IM TENSIONING other than just being shill, bots or parrots.

the only thing i can stay in the middle with it is that it wouldn't exaggerate how broken more of the guns are since the gap would be higher in kill if you compared them. right now .55 headshots is the fastest?

>>559173357
>it would exaggerate

>>559173232
its fine anon the guy showcasing it never played on the map or anything before so he had no clue!

>>559173209
In the alpha/prior tests a very common complaint was that fights could drag on because people would get winged, hide, heal up, and then it's a 3v3 extended firefight where it was too difficult to actually convert damage on someone to winning the fight. They seemingly went to the opposite extreme as a reaction
>significantly less healing supplies found in run, the stack size is smaller, and most the stuff you find is depleted, meds are also more expensive
>meds also heal extremely slowly, and getting hit in the middle of it cancels it
>people now die in roughly 1 second of accurate fire, leading to downs more often even without the element of surprise, so people can press the advantage more easily
Any of those 3 things would have addressed the issue, but they did all of them

>>559173357

>>559173590
I think lowering the fire rate on the Longshot to something absurdly slow would help tremendously. I have had no real problems with the TTK outside of Longshot/WSTR, and the WSTR being a literal point blank only double tap doesn't seem all that bad. I enjoy that catching someone by complete surprise generally means you win, while just scoring a shot or two still gives quick people who aren't standing in stupid places I'm positioning the chance to dive for cover and just start the fight at a huge disadvantage. The sound design is good enough that it generally feels fair to get taken off guard - with the exception of damn near instant Longshot double taps.

why not rebalance the longshot to be either a painfully slow bolt action or a double barrel

i agree that the longshot and wstr are the only guns that really seemed to carry the threat of instagib. wstr has the inherent weakness of being a point blank weapon and as a double barrel if you somehow whiff a bit of your spread you're just instantly hard fucked- longshot seemed like a problem the second i used it in pvp

should i get the deluxe for 50$ on gmg or standard for 30$

Dunno about the music chip thing. I'm assuming it wasn't the first time swapping or maybe memories imprint on shells I dunno

>>559175239
Cyber Acne gave the photo of Voids mother to Glitch and then when Assasin died he came back in the new body and they returned the photo to him and he’s not impressed because he knew he gave it to her originally in a different run but they couldn’t remember

>>559175292
headphones are essential, you can hear runners from far distances and as they approach

>>559175292
The sound is good enough to be a replacement for radar. You can tell if someone's above you, what kind of surface they're walking on, if they're sprinting, what direction they're coming from, playing without headphones or a surround system would be a massive disadvantage.

>>559175287
I hate Marathon but that cinematic is top three trailers of all time.
1st is Versus XIII, 2nd is Human Revolution, third is Marathons

>>559175239
Personally I thought it was Sin realizing that something was going on when he saw the same photo again.

>>559175239
Pretty sure it's supposed to indicate something's horribly awry with the grounding process, that all runners are basically losing their memories/individuality and the systems put in place to prevent that are probably being corrupted by the fuckery of the Tau Ceti system.

>>559175491
For me its number 1, then mgsv, then human revolution

Or that they’re not people originally at all.

The most impressive audio aspect is the echo of bullets it various areas.
In Marsh, if you fire shots in roofed facilities leading into an open space, you can hear the bullet echo into the distance differently.

by getting a key to area 3 and then getting a key there and then getting inside Marathon only to get crip walked by some negroes who will jump you the moment you actually try to progress

>>559178482
My target is the experience of other runners. I make sure they can't exfil. I do not care about "quests" or loot.
I just want to ruin their match. Over and over.

I can do this till Jesus comes back.

so how are the runners like delivered to tau ceti? our consciousness is stored on a sekuguchi ship that shoots down runner shells? why doesnt the UESC shoot down the ship? seems like this is like a consciousness container or something?

Do you mean the voice comm from Durandal? I won’t give any details if you’re hoping to discover things for yourself - other than to say he is a prominent character from the old Marathon games from the 90s.

okay so we get our consciousness installed into a new shell on shell death, hang out on the sekuguchi ship, then teleport down, sekuguchi must be very important if all corps are working with them

I liked playing Vandal for goan fass but I think Thief will be much stronger.

>>559179301
>hang out on the sekuguchi ship, then teleport down, sekuguchi must be very important
Who said there's only one ship with brain copies, and not a gazillion

>>559179301
I think i remember seeing that the corporations are not legally allowed to be on Tau Ceti, as in they cant deploy their forces on the planet. Because its under lockdown by USEC.
So the loop hole here is they can use mercenaries called Runners.
They arent employees

>Durandal

Coincidence?

also all the corporations kinda hilariously are interconnected,
Cuberacme runs everything
Nucaloric makes the food
Sexigoochi makes shells
Traxus is the richest

>>559179301
it's not all Sekuguchi
they just own the shells
CyAc for instance owns your brain and even installed the ONI bonzi buddy into it
also it's not your consciousness, just your brainscan that gets sync'd
>>559179541
it's almost as if this game shows the ZOG endgame

Rook is a griefing machine. Him being able to 1v3 so easily if he gets the drop on a team is not clutch, it's a terrible decision.

>>559180035
Depends on material, size, and the infill (Which is 15% there). I would say check your local library for 3d printer use but you're printing a sci-fi gun which they might not be cool with. If they are, I know many will charge by how long it takes to print versus material or complexity (Mine charges $5 an hour).

I would also exclusively play rook and focus on gearing up rook to unleash my toxicity with zero actual seethe when I die because i have no gear to lose. I would have to git gud first, mind.

>>559181160
Says there it would take you roughly 66 hours so I'm guessing this 1:1. You might be better off buying a printer to do this than paying someone, but that's just me. You'll want one that can hold multiple spools that way it can color in most of the gun saving you time and effort, won't look as good up close but who cares.

Rook is my friend. He’s just a little robot guy. Just making his way in the world like any of us.

Assassin = Arachne
Theif = sexigoochi

Can I spin it that I'm repurposing their own tech against them, or do I need to hand my Destroyer license in and exclusively play Vandal from now on? They are *technically* outlawed by the UESC and every Runner has to get the shells from backdoor means, so it kind of fits with the MIDA vibe of rebellion through all means right?

INJECT MARATHON INTO MY VEINS!!!

Some anon last thread said only 12% of Destiny players actually completed the highest level of content, the raids.
Are there any Destinyniggers here to confirm or deny? That’s worrying if true. Imagine going through all the effort of finding competent teammates, getting everyone a key, only to get wiped by incredibly hard PvE. It would be enough to never want to try it again and just stick to ratting others.

ohhhh that explains why i've been seeing so much hate on this game online

Sci fi is the white man's domain.

>>559184332
I've had nothing but good tiding using destroyers shield to close in on an enemy while my teammates flank and kill them.
It's definitely not strong enough to weather an assault but it is an amazing distraction for someone else to capitalize on.

I still think it was a weird choice to hold back Thief. Like I would understand if they had held back multiple shells but just the one is strange, like they know she's overkitted

>tfw it’s likely Vandal doesn’t even have a pussy, just smooth
No Robopussy for you, anon. Back to the runner cuck cage to get more credits for your corporate overlords.

There's no hole? I've got a knife. I'll make one.

>what is an RCA jack

genuinely why would anyone play rook when you can just use free kits instead?

>>559184769
Because free kits are limited in the full release

>>559184769
Rook comes with a backpack and green shields

>>559184769
After leveling your faction upgrade thingies Rook is significantly better geared than the sponsored kits.

>>559184769
Rook is god tier broken. upgrading rook is the real meta of the game and the rest just exist to free kit his upgrade quests.

You're supposed to be stealthy and muh positioning but also doing literally anything alerts the whole map to your presence including leaving.

>>559185187
It's not stealth. It's a pvp fest and everything you do is a signal to start pvp. Supply drops are probably the biggest one I saw because you even have to start them yourself for a very long and loud animation to play.

>>559185660
Keep a tight grip on your wallet while doing so

I noticed during the slam that in the selection menu, some shells have rare lines about "is it really us when we come back?" and if you take too long in the main menu, they'll start staring at the screen expectantly. Is...is the game breaking the fourth wall? What's going on?

>>559185890
Probably, given all the ARG stuff things like that would track.

Too bad all the effort will be wasted on PvP normgroids who piss and shit when a character says a voiceline because it might prevent them hearing some footsteps when they're sat in a corner.

>>559185890
Yes, that's been a thing since Infinity. And don't worry anon, you're just as gay this morning when you woke up as you were when you went to bed last night

>>559185890
I heard there’s a cannon in Dire Marsh that unlocks when you get 120 shield kits and you can shoot onto the roof and the OG marathon guy is there and gives Destroyer shell triple boost

>he doesn’t purposefully fight the UESC then disengage, heal, and set up traps for whoever hears
They forget about you easily enough, so you can hide and get the drop on anyone coming to fight. I did this as Assassin multiple times while my retard fill teammates kept fighting the bots.

Didn't someone say they were making an edit where a bare-chested Destroyer bounces his pecs up and down to the beat of the Marathon Infinity theme? What happened to that?

>>559186160
>I did this as Assassin multiple times while my retard fill teammates kept fighting the bots.

>assassin retard aggros the entire location and then goes invisible and hides in a corner to complain about his teammates fighting the enemies he alerted

Imagine if Rook went rampant and then achieved CHIM and then farted all over your balls

>>559186408
