Stop wasting time on marathon. Marathon will never be popular because it's not a serious game. Who's idea was it? Dmg chat with his trials sherpas and came up with the idea? Marathon ain't bad, like trials isn't, but you can't sell a trials of osiris game and expect casuals to invest fully. It's a game for several thousands, nothing that keeps servers on. Bring d3 to the carpet. I tried marathon, good marketing, awful experience. Drop the fetishizing about incorporating carry culture in your games please. Every game doesn't need a " i got something, u dont mentality ". According to metrics, you'd made triple the money marathon made if you sold a patrol only game. I suggest never putting weapons behind skill , let stuff be rng, 3% chance anything can drop upon exfil. You'd be surprised how many players would grind. The wallah and frostbolts can have exclusive cosmetics and emblems and extra xp for their competitive flex , those guys could wipe stacked lobbies with a sponsor kit. They the best players on earth. I don't think they need the best weapons to succeed. My point is, the casuals need to know there's a chance to obtain the best weapons, playing their way. We know cryo is instant death, that's wayyyy above our skill set. By allowing the weapons to drop with rng, more sweats would play different, maybe they won't gatekeep cryo right, because that exclusive gun might drop from dire marsh. That's my feedback, whatever you decide, don't remove the exfil requirements. Thanks
