to those that weren't having fun in the Server Slam

:M2026:Marathon (2026) Discussion

The full game is WAY BETTER. I didn't have a lot of fun in the server slam either, and I think that has a lot to do with the mentality you need to have when going into games like this. if everyone knows that their progress is capped and will be lost at the end of a playlets, then why be careful? go all out! risk it all! the vibe is very different in the full game

on top of that, there is much more progression to enjoy, and a goal to set. my first 10 runs today were so fun. we didn't die once - had a few near losses, but we prevailed. later in the day, I did die quite a few times, but it didn't feel crushing or punishing akin to arc raiders. my friend suggested going in with a mindset of playing a rogue-lite. honestly, it really is like a rogue-lite. you replenish losses so quickly, and losing higher tier stuff isn't that punishing or dissapointing (though, it does suck at times).

Rook runs are also HIGHLY lucrative in my case. I think the game is all around pretty good right now.
