@artificial0wl Assassin is played out but for a good reason, being invisible helps you traverse the map and get the jump on people (can be outplayed if you're good with another class and bring thermals into solo)
@colesmithen2@EzzyTwink Edge of fate story is easily top 3 of D2. Which isn't saying much since most of the writing is juvenile and corny, but yeah I enjoyed it as much as Witch Queen and Final shape
@AilurusNova So it sounds like good only fans models actually have a skill set they're tapping into in order to market and sell their appearance to people
@J_Kitans@Ag0at This is such a shit argument. Plenty of recognizably amazing games that don't have a wide player base. Does marathon need one? Yes, but that doesn't make it a bad game
@Blundarian@VivaLaDoctor Very much depends on all the data they have. For example, how adamantly are certain players playing, how many purchase the battle pass or buy cosmetics
@CypTCG@glorpinity@MarathonDevTeam@Ziegler_Dev There needs to be a balance to that climb to make it feel rewarding. Grinders will min max the fun out of everything, but you can still design the grind requirement to be engaging (pve night marsh isn't doing that)
@urgoingtww@unusual_whales It's a counter balance to the ruthless capitalism that would toss living bodies in a meatgrinder if it meant greater profit. There are issues with government, but most of those issues stem from the encroaching oligarchical forces corrupting it
@LadyLiana6@LOVETHEW0RLD It costs no money to affirm yourself every day that the process of learning and growing is more valuable than giving up after realizing you don't have a natural inclination for something
@LadyLiana6@LOVETHEW0RLD This is called being impatient and not having a growth mindset. It takes time, but reprogramming your mindset to appreciate the growth requirements makes the entirety of life more enjoyable
@the_new_pro@JoyceCarolOates I'm sorry but if Bernie was more popular among Democrats no amount of corporate crony consolidating should've changed him winning. As someone who wanted him to win the primary, majority of Democratic primary voters still did not vote for him
@JLuther2026@HQNewsNow@ZohranKMamdani Do you have an example of a highly individualistic low government capitalist nation that ranks highly in education, healthcare, and overall quality of life?
@LinkTeaches Curriculum changes, special education services, and truly I'm witnessing classes that are far from the discipline in Japan. Generally bad culture around education and poverty has got us here
@DadsOfMarathon@Bungie@MarathonTheGame I imagine skilled players are incentivizes through the faction rank system to level up as quickly as possible (so they will do contracts and other in game activities to level up) in a way new players won't. I'm assuming the level based match making has more granularity early on
@CollinCall_in@ClericKnight Saying the run backs suck is telling of the players mindset whole engaging with them. They offer an opportunity to meditate on failure and strategize the following approach. It creates value in the linear sequences between that would not otherwise exist
