Bro is bungies biggest fighter

[gray prism]

nerdge

[topaz comet]

im the goat

[torpid plover]

Bungie is living in his head rent free

[stone horizon]

Then Mute him for harassing people

[weary sage]

People wonder why I'm a huge proponent of those services that require you to link your discord with other accounts and have a minimum account age and I'm just like gestures lol

[tribal spade]

bro is fighting demons rn

[true lava]

Yea they should have just kept this closed alpha under NDA and waited for open beta IMO, it sucks how a lot of people feel the same as you

[gray prism]

avg destiny player be like

[weary sage]

Arc Raiders sounds like the local alternative lifestyle bar

[stiff mist]

I mean Final Shape was great, this'll probably be as well hopefully

[true lava]

This is the 3rd alt account you’ve made after I blocked you so I don’t have to interact with you, and you’re saying I am harassing you?

[languid vault]

Oh absolutely the fact they were so vocal about it and then ultra picky they shot themselves in the foot cause now like me they have a large number of players that feel dejected

[gray prism]

final shape was amazing

[torpid plover]

They would have less time to fix it though, open beta would be like what, 1-2 months before release?

[shadow pine]

Matterspark lmao looks hilarious

[topaz comet]

everyone just going to ignore my clip. k then

[stone horizon]

Apex?

[torpid plover]

Sorry this is Arc Raiders discord

[stiff mist]

I like how one of the new abilities is just straight up the Metroid Morph Ball

[gray prism]

you were a sneaky lil guy

[shadow pine]

I’m watching the Bungo stream pal move aside

[topaz comet]

no shield smoking a purple shield and y'all dont care

[smoky dome]

For future reference, if you want to report a message to the powers that be, please react to it with the 👢 reaction

[wooden pendant]

yall think this new expansion will add like new stuff??? maybe even, new content??????

[whole cradle]

the beta will probably just be server load testing/small balance tweaks easy to address in a couple of months

[stone horizon]

Is this real life

[glad patrol]

did u copy paste that msg jesus christ

[lethal drum]

or is it faaantasyy

stuck in a laaaandsliide, no escape from realityyy

[shadow pine]

Give em the good ol 👢

[stiff mist]

Nintendo got their lawyers on speed dial rn

[torpid plover]

That's bot responding, mod is actually sleeping

[stone horizon]

It actually worked lmao

[tribal spade]

we all know who we giving the boot to right?

[shadow pine]

He’s immune trust me

[stone horizon]

We really out here reporting with boots…

[torpid plover]

Wait does that work if HyperR blocked me?

[topaz comet]

Bungie need to hire me as a jainitor

[stone horizon]

Yes

[languid vault]

Not to mention seemingly actively avoiding selecting loyal fans in favor of newcomers for the alpha was a slap in the face

[tribal spade]

i see his message so he getting it

[stone horizon]

It gives you a marathon message saying report received

[torpid plover]

Bet

[loud flint]

Sonix x Destiny collab ?

[deep patio]

We'll have to see how well they do till then. They did say the way they develop their games is nonlinear. If the beta feels as good if not a lil better than arc than they are indeed cookin, if the game feels practically the same as it is now....... well....

[ember mountain]

Do you guys think a cop has the right to hit someone if they get called the B word?

[lyric meteor]

Just post it on Titkok bud

[shadow pine]

Careful they gonna call you entitled

[gray prism]

no

[verbal patrol]

it is very annoying not to have been able to play with my friends

[smoky dome]

Nope, I typed it

[leaden estuary]

So what's the update on this game?

[verbal patrol]

ayo

[small sluice]

No

[ancient heart]

when is the open beta

[torpid plover]

No way, mod woke up

[ember mountain]

Thank you

[leaden estuary]

Haven't heard any news or anything since the alpha ended

[smoky jewel]

how to apply to the playtest guys ?

[shadow pine]

Harassment!

[open remnant]

Its still in development

[gray prism]

a very wholesome and linguistic chungus

[deep patio]

In a couple months

[shadow pine]

Can’t apply anymore

You don’t want to get into the sniff wars

[last blade]

this chat is so weird

[torpid plover]

Arc Raiders closed, I'm sorry you didn't try it 😞

[shadow pine]

Bro what is this character design on stream lol

[vague scroll]

you should have seen the gang wars over the first few days

[viscid plinth]

I like being weird (good and wholesome)

[open remnant]

[shadow pine]

Makes sense right?

[deep patio]

Im glad the other channels are sane atleast. Reminds me theres still hope for us in the server

[small sluice]

Deserved lol

[open remnant]

I like the character design

[torpid plover]

For what?

[open remnant]

[small sluice]

Bro you're being wierd to people for no reason

[torpid plover]

Damn wth, you can't sniff people now?

[gray prism]

nuzzles you

[open remnant]

[tribal spade]

i love sniffing

[verbal patrol]

its called flirting

[small sluice]

You wouldn't be saying stupid shit like this irl would you? Only reason why you are being wierd is because it's online

[gray prism]

lmfao

[deep patio]

Ask for consent first

[small sluice]

That's not flirting it's being wierd

[torpid plover]

Is flirting banned?

[shadow pine]

Yet people that say they are gonna impregnate and turn people into their boytoys don’t get affected at all? But they are play testers so I guess it’s fine right?

[stone horizon]

lol boots away men

[small sluice]

Yeah that stuff is wierd to

[last blade]

you'd be surprised, there are people that run around and think they are a cat

[pearl mica]

My fate hangs in the balance of the Nine

[verbal patrol]

it is only a joke mr spuckley but on principle i agree with you

[open remnant]

[torpid plover]

I didn't even know they had those

[flat jewel]

Where do I get the alpha key? 🙂

[shadow pine]

Glad there are still some people with a brain here thank you

[deep patio]

You dont

[flat jewel]

Ahhh okay

[deep patio]

Unfortunately

[shadow pine]

September 23rd

[open remnant]

I'm glad I could enlighten you 🙂

[deep patio]

Pray the beta is more inviting

[shadow pine]

Wait rite of the nine is free? Maybe Bungo is changing

[deep patio]

Hazzah

[shadow pine]

Praise be!

[obtuse ruin]

.

[stiff mist]

DLC looks good & all but no new Red Subclass is an L

[stone horizon]

Remember report with the Boot emoji @smoky dome thank you for the report info

[shadow pine]

Now I can finally check out their new content without spending a whole games worth of money for a weeks worth of content 🔥

[deep patio]

Welp. I guess i gotta download D2 now..... i miss playin with my friends

[gray prism]

the internet is real life

[languid vault]

Call me entitled i dont care. If having been with this developer since i was 7, putting countless hours into their games and then feeling salty that i dont get to play the alpha while all these newcomers get to play then yeah im entitled. But it sucks knowing that all that loyalty got me essentially nothing and they could care less. Just ‘yep thanks for playing our games get ready to buy the next one’

[deep patio]

Lol no

[shadow pine]

My friends have been trying to get me back into it so maybe now I will I do miss the old vibes

[flat jewel]

The alpha ended today eh? That's booty butt whole. I'm surprised this game hasn't been advertised more

[deep patio]

Same..... i was supposed to download it weeks ago when they asked the first time

[languid vault]

Like sure is it the biggest insult in the world? No. But it still doesnt feel good

[shadow pine]

Yeah I agree friend I was there for every single playtest of D1 and D2 sad i couldnt say the same for this

[gray prism]

lol yes

[deep patio]

Lol probably

[gray prism]

lol maybe?

[languid vault]

Exactly how i feel

[shadow pine]

25

[pallid aspen]

Looool bro got smoked

[shadow pine]

Why did you delete his message? He just asked how old I was lol wtf

[gray prism]

how old are you bud?

[shadow pine]

I’m Unc

[gray prism]

you better not be breaking tos

[shadow pine]

No u

[lapis rain]

[gray prism]

:(

[river nymph]

[jaunty crystal]

This UI change might make me come back to destiny ngl

[smoky dome]

Friendly reminder just in case it has been forgotten: #📌rules-and-info and https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/35234630354580-Community-Standards-and-Codes-of-Conduct

[shadow pine]

I knowwww bro it actually looks good for once lol

[gray prism]

how mandatory is it that i read and understand the rules? 👀

[soft saddle]

just dont be a douche and ur good tbh

[shadow pine]

Gurt is an og

[soft saddle]

yeeeahhhh whaddup man

[shadow pine]

Yo Gurt

[soft saddle]

Gurt: Yo

[smoky dome]

Considering you had to select that you agreed and understood them before joining, pretty mandatory

[shadow pine]

Interesting

[gray prism]

suuureeee..... 👀

[soft saddle]

Do you read the TOS for every thing you sign up for

[smoky dome]

I do, yes. It's a legal contract, you should always read anything like that.

[soft saddle]

NO WAY

[rapid nebula]

how do i start the process of getting and alpha code?

[verbal patrol]

its a short list 😭

[cerulean ocean]

Wort wort wort

[soft saddle]

yeah i speak japanese i cant read

[shadow pine]

It’s like that one south park episode 😂

[gray prism]

name all sections of discord tos rn

[shadow pine]

It’s over bub

[viscid plinth]

Whataboutism smh

[rapid nebula]

sad

[cerulean ocean]

Wort wort wort

[smoky dome]

Been a while since I agreed to that, so afraid I don't remember.

[deft magnet]

Their tryna catch you in a “gotcha”

[shadow pine]

The boot emoji looking real nice right about now 🤔

[gray prism]

so since its been a while since i read the rules is it okay that i may or may not remember them?

hmmmmmmmmmm

[shadow pine]

Well go reread them

[smoky dome]

Forgetfulness is why I posted earlier about a reminder ^^
Forgetfulness doesn't protect against failing to follow them, unfortunately.

[soft saddle]

True. They're generally legally binding but usually the crazy shit that's hidden among 50 pages of blabber doesn't hold up in court because it's intentionally deceptive. A quick skim and usually you're good

[shadow pine]

This affects me deeply and now I can’t enjoy this chat as a safe space anymore!

[agile swan]

Please follow the rules 🤓 ☝️

My apologies, I don't always get the jokes, and when a question comes up related to serious things, I tend to respond seriously.

[soft saddle]

i miss gifs

[gray prism]

[stiff mist]

[last blade]

you can tell where all of the budget goes

[stiff mist]

Holy shit they got playable mechs & tanks in Destiny PVP lmao that's sick

[agile swan]

Ah yes, take away the menagerie, bring it back later with a new skin

At least it's improved

[jaunty crystal]

these guys are making me downloading d2 again

[light leaf]

i quit D2 years back. Just redownloaded the other day. My first thought was i wish the game had a firing range

[elder rampart]

guys i just took a test rn for science, 100 questions. I entered the flow state that i didn’t even hear my teacher talking to me and when i put my pencil down it shook the earth. Even my classmates said they felt some aura

[smoky dome]

good luck

[long bane]

yo is #alpha_access gone?

[smoky dome]

Yes. Applications closed yesterday.

[long bane]

shiiiiiii day late dollar short

[languid vault]

Alpha ends today

[languid vault]

Dont worry you most likely wouldnt have gotten a code anyway

[tame nacelle]

C-

[long bane]

rip

[tame nacelle]

Time for sigma testing

[stiff mist]

THE LUCASFILMS LOGO?

Yeah that's Star Wars man, they even got the lightsaber sfx 💀

[silver laurel]

Any change they remove the abilities on the characters? Why is there wallhack in the game... 😦

[elder rampart]

bro how do you have ninja role

[stiff mist]

@shadow pine they're actually do it man

[smoky dome]

I'm a moderator

[willow violet]

Nah, I'd extend it

[severe bison]

ggs ts alpha over ⛓️‍💥

[willow violet]

Do you know any like ninja stuff or is it just a title?

[last blade]

W destiny 2

[jaunty crystal]

good stuff

[smoky dome]

☁️ smokebomb! ☁️

Just a title

[tame granite]

Fake ninja

[dusky stirrup]

Fuck Bungie just killed their own game with the Destiny reveal

[loud flint]

W Destiny Updates

[jaunty crystal]

huh?

[dusky stirrup]

Between that and Arc, bye marathon 🫡

[ornate eagle]

They're not really competing but

[jaunty crystal]

oh please with the bait, here have the attention you yearn

[last blade]

LFG!!!!!

[willow violet]

This is what i mean when i say ompanies don't train anymore. They should've sent you to ninja school at least

[deft magnet]

That’s not the official server

[smoky dome]

I mean, if I am a proper ninja, you'd never see the things I do, right? Have you seen me do anything?

[topaz comet]

marathon discord is decent but the subreddit is a cesspool

[upper storm]

wack

[smoky dome]

I might be the smokescreen for the other things ^^

[upper storm]

I can't find a link to the official one anywhere

[normal dock]

aright its been enough time

[smoky dome]

Official what?

[normal dock]

d2 still the best live service there is, can't believe i doubted it

[deft magnet]

Official arc raiders server

[smoky dome]

ah

[upper storm]

yeah we're tryna crunch some numbers

[willow violet]

You make a strong point here

[deft magnet]

I could invite you if you want

[smoky dome]

based on what people said earlier, they locked it down as read only after their test ended, so it's possible it's also not listed on community search anymore

[green gazelle]

Can I link it ?

[echo shuttle]

Yeah its read only now till the next test most liekly

[zealous gull]

Not gonna lie I've played destiny since the D1 alpha and marathon is just more appealing than what they just showed off to me

[deft magnet]

That is also true, it’s entirely locked down as read only for now

[upper storm]

anyway I'll take your word for it that you're in it and it has 92k members. which isn't bad at all but still less than a quarter of marathon's and more to the point, the opposite ratio of what you'd expect from the general word of mouth surrounding these games. so i think marathon will be fine

[smoky dome]

You'll have to DM it. No discord invites allowed.

[green gazelle]

Roger that

[deft magnet]

I agree. Btw I do hope you aren’t offended that I said your numbers are wrong. I don’t like it when bad info is spread around

[upper storm]

no worries at all, was just very confused lol

[cerulean thorn]

is the playtest over?

[green gazelle]

Not to argue but honestly with the arc sentiment being from 1/5 of marathons discord pop is a bad sign when the minority is the vocallly loud

[smoky dome]

The Closed Alpha Test here isn't. Doesn't end for another 8 hours.
You can't sign up for it anymore, though, if you haven't already.

We're extending the Closed Alpha playtest by two Dangerous Days and the playtest will now end at 6PM PT on Tuesday, 5/6!

[deft magnet]

That’s fair, generally I don’t use LFG servers due to numbers not being what the official servers are

[deep halo]

hello, new here, been following the game and im really into it, any suggestions on what to do here? :)

[green gazelle]

Argue

[deft magnet]

Take a right to new noise, it’s better

[cerulean thorn]

porbably no chance to get in.. :)))

[faint fossil]

New here, how does one get access to the test?

[smoky dome]

I'd highly recommend avoiding the "lfg" server... people kept coming in here with alts to spam it, and claiming they had codes there, when there were no codes that could be shared or gifted. That doesn't sit well, trying to lure people there with lies, heh

[smoky dome]

Applications for the Closed Alpha Test are no longer being taken.
Bungie did mention during the reveal stream that things will open up more after the closed alpha test is over, but didn't give specifics.

[topaz comet]

Dragon go mod the marathon subreddit and clean up the filth in there

[deep halo]

Man I dont like the lfg things, Im more of a solo guy so idk

[topaz comet]

please ❤️

[upper storm]

fair. another good point of comparison is Hunt Showdown which is a game that's done very well and has been out for 7 years, with just over 200k members

[deep halo]

also, I feel like every lfg is a really dumb scam so that is a straight no no haha

[cerulean geyser]

way too much lgbtq and wokeness in here for me...

[open remnant]

Clean up reddit? Is that even possible 🤔

[green gazelle]

Very healthy player base I own it but only played it once after release

[upper storm]

i have about 2300 hours at this point. I'm kinda done with it personally but it's very good

[clever root]

Star Wars in Destiny?!

[deep halo]

get some help bro, what 2300 hours

[surreal nova]

What

[open remnant]

Fair, did you hear about that kidnapping at school?

[smoky dome]

Please try not to discuss sensitive topics

[open remnant]

It's ok, he woke up

[clever root]

Renegades expansion in December. Trailer just dropped.

[open remnant]

Please don't ban me

[upper storm]

you say that like that's even an unusual amount of hours to have in a multiplayer game you've been playing for 4 years lol

[craggy hinge]

everyone appreciates your moderation /s

[open remnant]

I hope someone got that joke

[craggy hinge]

wait didnt the mods get randomly picked?

so these guys have zero authority

[craggy hinge]

i say we rebel

[topaz comet]

someones getting da boot

[craggy hinge]

whos with me?

[trail tusk]

rebelling is cool and all but who is being rebelled against ?

[viscid plinth]

no im being good 😔

[topaz comet]

I cant because im shilling this game sorry

[craggy hinge]

they banned me for a week

[last blade]

I can't get banned until they open the arc raiders channels back up

[trail tusk]

tragic

surely it was for no good reason Kappa

[deep halo]

ywah thats a good point, I feel u I played tarkov for like 8 months straight, not playing anything else, I got like 890 hours

[craggy hinge]

maybe it was my demenor because I broke zero rules

[trail tusk]

possible

[open remnant]

I could tell a joke about construction to lighten the mood

Ah wait, I'm still working on it.

[echo shuttle]

Is it just me or does the animation of the cinematics remind me of that one animation the deadly scream of siren(love death &robots). IF unsure what im talking about youtube it

[untold sail]

marfon

[deep halo]

Thats the main reason that im interested in Marathon, I love extraction shooters but since i get into university I dont have enough time to play and Marathon seems pretty easy and more straight forward than Tarkov

[viscid plinth]

Traxus Hotdogs!

[trail tusk]

Marfon bungi

[placid lake]

Target audience

[surreal nova]

I’m actually legit excited for this I hope it’s not just cosmetics

[untold sail]

tow city four

[open remnant]

I'm so getting banned from this discord 😅

[placid lake]

I'm curious how it pans out on console. Idk if they have a good extraction shooter do they?

[craggy hinge]

I wish I could share my thoughts on a game bungie chose to not select me for

[surreal nova]

It’s by the same animator

[deep halo]

frrrrrr, Im the target audience, and I love it

[echo shuttle]

WELL that exaplins alot lol

[smoky dome]

I think people had said it's the same person

[untold sail]

they were totally like. Hmm. This Papi John guy? he's bad news. can't have him playing marfon

[smoky dome]

yep, what they said lol, late to type my reply it seems

[trail tusk]

GUARDS !

Get this individual in the shadow dimension expeditiousely !!!

[echo shuttle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1306389618089787454/1369142885173297215/jarvis-react.gif

[surreal nova]

Yeah it’s a very unique style, good choice by Bungie

[deep halo]

Wait can I send gifs in here?

[blissful charm]

Is the alpha still open to join? The channel won't pop up for me?

[patent dust]

when the next alpha will begin any idea?

[craggy hinge]

you say it playing around but that's exactly what happened maybe even worse they laughed at me in the bungie hq break room

[echo shuttle]

Yeah it was really well done. Hope they have alot more using the same animation

[deep halo]

Yeah dude the animation is so dope, im into a design degree and the moment the animation came out I was like DAMN THATS HOT

[trail tusk]

Big shouts out to Alberto Mielgo for that

[craggy hinge]

i contributed nothing but positive vibes to this server /s

[untold sail]

you're going to get selected for the closed alpha test of "barefoot in a field of red ants and horseflies"

[open remnant]

Reminds me of when my dad wouldn't explain to me what a solar eclipse was.
he kept on saying 'no son' 😔

[light ocean]

do you like work for Bungie

[echo shuttle]

assuming thats the name

[clever root]

It's what tipped me over the edge. I was on the fence about getting back into Destiny. All content free except cosmetics. Dedicated was to power climb, even if you are solo only or PvP only. But Star Wars seals the deal.

It sounds like it's a full expansion based on the way it was introduced.

[patent dust]

cant even tell if this satire or fr💀

[smoky dome]

I'm a volunteer moderator that's been hand-picked by Bungie. I'm not an employee or dev.

[craggy hinge]

so im alpha testing hell?

[surreal nova]

The alpha for nightrein already closed actually

[deep halo]

HADHSADHADH i hate u

[untold sail]

i wonder how that went

[trail tusk]

- [UN]Funny

They asked a baby to name this card

[deep halo]

but yeah im fr, idk what u mean w satire...

[split agate]

where did you guys see or get notice for access to the alpha?

[patent dust]

nothing man, any idea about next alpha test? anything announced?

[devout grotto]

so im assuming that the play tests over?

[deep halo]

nope, I dontzhing so

[tame nacelle]

Email and bungie.net

[granite vortex]

After today

[split agate]

ah, didnt know if it was still ongoing - filled it all out but just getting back to seeing if there was a way to get in or see

[smoky dome]

Applications are no longer being taken, but the test is going to be going for another 7.75 hours

[patent dust]

yea

[surreal nova]

Honestly, I was skeptical at first because I never engaged with any multiplayer content on souls games (I feel like it detracts from the mystique of exploring a hostile world) but the previews were quite positive. https://www.eurogamer.net/after-eight-hours-with-elden-ring-nightreign-im-convinced-multiplayer-souls-is-an-exhilarating-rush

[pine marsh]

Those who didn’t get alpha access are kinda lucky bc now they won’t have to go through withdrawals

[wispy bramble]

Never got a key 🫃 but arc treated me well

[smoky dome]

Silver Lining.

[tame nacelle]

How did anyone like the aggressive ai?

[patent dust]

wait,Marathon has released that?

[devout grotto]

ah thats too bad though i have zero regrets about spending my time on ARC raiders playtest

[echo shuttle]

thats how i feel about arc rn. Sadly didnt get into marathon tho

[patent dust]

Same man, those sniper sentinel dope

Does marathon have a global release date?

[magic rose]

Sentinels were hard to deal with if you werent experienced

[devout osprey]

/mpreg

[magic rose]

what does that mean?

[last blade]

same.. I keep dreaming about spawning in the residential area at the dam

[smoky dome]

September 23rd

[pine marsh]

I genuinely hope both games do well, I think they each have something different to offer the genre

[deep halo]

sep 23

[tame nacelle]

I would NEVER listen to a cyac pleb about what you can and can NOT do with your worm.

[patent dust]

no more beta test?

[devout grotto]

for it coming out of embark ( a company not to well known) i was genuinely impressed by how well polished the game is and how fun it was

[stone pilot]

Male pregnancy

[deep halo]

Our worm our decision

[echo shuttle]

I dream about hitting the nastiest trickshot with the jupister sniper off the spaceport towers everyh night

[last blade]

men can get pregnant

[tame nacelle]

Eggsactly

[hollow thunder]

arc raiders is such a brilliant game and probably made a lot of genre defining designs

[magic rose]

real

[patent dust]

💀 they made The Finals, wdym not well known

[hollow thunder]

but honestly im still camp marathon, I just cant deal with 3rd person

[smoky dome]

The Closed Alpha Test ends later today. Bungie said during the reveal stream that things will be opening up after this Closed Alpha Test, but didn't give any specifics, so there will probably be other chances to play early, but it's not been stated by Bungie

[magic rose]

your camp looks to be a crumbling hut

[topaz finch]

Arc raiders is GOTY. Marathon would be concord 2.0 if it wasn’t made by Bungie

[last blade]

I had never heard of them until the play test (I loved the game though)

[deft magnet]

[deep halo]

1st person supreriority

[dusk light]

wonder how many codes they actually gave out

[smoky dome]

It's interesting seeing the contrast on how people discuss Marathon out here after Arc, and how it's discussed in the #💬general-alpha-discussion

[devout grotto]

yeah but that game lasted a week in the spot light and fizzled out into obscurity

[echo shuttle]

not many :(

[hollow thunder]

and imo bungie really take their lore more seriously than embark

[echo shuttle]

Think marathon peaked at 6k on day 1 and arc peaked at 20k

[indigo spruce]

Arc raiders will not be Game of the year. I would prefer DOOM to be Game of the year. Noch arc raiders. But arc raiders is pretty good. 9/10

[deft magnet]

I just think both games are good but they operate differently so they’ll attract different players. But you know that take will get drowned out by the brain rot

[deep halo]

actually the finals is a pretty cool game, It has its playerbase and Its not that of a dead game

[topaz finch]

Valid, atleast we both agree that Arc raiders is special

[tame nacelle]

Honestly I really dislike the mentioning of arc, especially because so often it's just "arc is good" as if that's remotely adding anything

[brazen cipher]

How long does it take to find a match? I just started my first run and it’s been on the preparing matter transfer screen for 5 minutes

[patent dust]

i hope marathon delay their release to Nov/Dec.

so that i can purchase both, my poor as cant afford two extraction shooter in short gap

[hollow thunder]

i wont be surprised if arc raiders is gonna be like the model extraction shooter that every studio is gonna copypaste

[devout grotto]

pfft thats assuming the game doesnt drop this year lol, if it does i have no doubt it gets game of the year

[snow ember]

i thron in elden ring nightreign, 30 mio sold copies of elden ring. this could be a huuge success

[hollow thunder]

like how pubg is for battle royale at that time

[indigo spruce]

Arc Raiders is (even if I want to Like Marathon but its pretty mid ngl) going to shit on Marathon. I am sorry fr

[smoky dome]

Different people can like different games, they can like both games, just one, or neither game. Is the fun thing about opinions and people having their own likes/dislikes. People just also need to remember that individuals are individuals. What one person likes, another might not... It's not a reason to tell them they're wrong, though, just have differing opinions than you.

[magic rose]

ARC Raiders is probably more worth your money
if they dont delay and fix marathon

[open remnant]

Third person is a hard sale for many. The game is pretty fantastic tho

[still lance]

no extraction shooter is getting goty be so serious

[echo shuttle]

it says there are 140 people on marathon play test rn

[vocal frost]

DOA

[topaz finch]

Yea marathon needs a year or two more in development

[whole cradle]

uhhhhh anyone else see the Destiny 2 Renegades trailer?

[magic rose]

or 3

[deep halo]

fax here

[smoky dome]

How many playing on PS or Xbox?

[indigo spruce]

True nightreign could also be goty

[echo shuttle]

Good question, im looking at steam charts. Kinda hard to ever know console

[patent dust]

day 1 arc buyer will get limited outfit, cant miss that.

i loved marathon trailer so much, thats it.

[magic rose]

that limited outfit is for participating in the tech test

[smoky dome]

Yep. People tend to ignore that question, though, heh, when using the steam charts.

[fast gale]

Happy last day of the alpha! Honestly had a lot of fun playing these last couple weeks. 😊

[pine marsh]

I’m at work otherwise I’d be playing right now. Can’t wait to play a few more games before the alpha ends. Gonna go all in

[snow ember]

one of my most anticipated title this year.

[magic rose]

of course you loved the trailer, thats where all the budget went lmao

[smoky dome]

I've not heard anything about nightreign, just occasionally see people in here mentioning it

[echo shuttle]

I really wish there was a way to count in console cause its annoying not seeing TOTAL players.

[magic rose]

when do I get embed perms

[hollow thunder]

i actually dont think marathon is too bad, i havent been playing other extraction shooters than arc raiders alpha, like, i can definitely agree arc raiders is just more clever, but is marathon actually worse than any other extraction game?

[ruby jolt]

Not too sure about Nightreign, might be a 2 week and done game

[devout grotto]

marathon has a good layout but theres ALOT of work that needs to be done. as someone whos only watched game play it seems so... lifeless and corpo slop being pushed out for the sake of a new game title, which is something bungie CAN NOT afford after what they did to Destiny 2

[ruby jolt]

Will still grab it cos fromsoft

[magic rose]

arc in alpha or tech test? it has come a long way since then

[echo shuttle]

I usually only go off pc numbers cause thats all i care about. Extreme bias due to be a pc only guy

[magic rose]

cause it is

[cerulean vapor]

Arc raiders was fire why are yall still waiting for this corpo garbage?

[magic rose]

True

[hollow thunder]

alpha, the one just ended

[patent dust]

Nightreign hype faded into oblivion.

arc marathon debate, gta 6, doom all coming together

[indigo spruce]

Mine is DOOM. Its screaming HELL YEAH 🔥🔥🦅🦅

[magic rose]

no, alpha was in 2023
this was a tech test (2)

[sonic iron]

tech test 2*

[devout grotto]

yeah ARCs been in the making for about three years now

[echo shuttle]

Whats the diff between alpha and tech test?

[cerulean vapor]

Wildgate is also 10x better than this pos

[mild oak]

are we still able to sign up for the alpha

[hollow thunder]

oh, i thought thats the alpha

[small sluice]

Got unmuted

[echo shuttle]

arnt the goals the same?

[sonic iron]

whatever the studio wants to call it

[patent dust]

less mature vs mature production

[magic rose]

You can definitely tell, the optimization to graphics ratio itself is insase

[topaz finch]

Agreed. If it releases in 5 months it’s DOA especially with Arc Raiders

[snow ember]

i found wildgate a little bit underwhelming tbh

[magic rose]

yes

[sonic iron]

the difference in alpha, beta, and tech tests years ago are different to now

[smoky dome]

I'm actually a bit surprised nobody popped in yet to point out how Arc still has almost 7k players right now lol

[devout grotto]

yeah dude its actually so impressive

[topaz finch]

How?

[cerulean vapor]

Already my game of the year as a sot player lol

[echo shuttle]

Where do you see that?

[peak holly]

Marathon been in the making for 5 years lmfao

[snow ember]

sot, sea of thieves? understandable is sot in space right?

[patent dust]

thats lie

[magic rose]

how to get code for marathon? only by email?

[magic rose]

cant believe that, it looks like a unity project

[tribal spade]

Arc has 7k players rn

[peak holly]

like it or not, its true

[magic rose]

its over bud, go wishlist ARC Raiders instead

[echo shuttle]

where?

[snow ember]

what are the guys doing ingame?

[smoky dome]

It's just because the chart ends there, it's actually 0, but people like to just point out the charts lol

[cerulean vapor]

Yeah its basically just fast paced space sea of thieves with more pvp. me and my friends played it hella and are waiting for next playtest next week.

[magic rose]

whens that game coming out?

[magic rose]

this year

[echo shuttle]

ohhhhhh thats funny

[magic rose]

tbd?

[devout grotto]

thats the saddest part about marathon, as i had said it has a good layout for it. but the game is actually so lifeless. there is no dev love being poured into unlike ARC raiders.

[magic rose]

what?

[sonic iron]

shrug

[smoky dome]

I thought so lol

[deft magnet]

“You gotta listen to the chart, arc has 7K!! What- no it doesn’t say 0 right now- yes the alpha test ended but that doesn’t matter”

[magic rose]

This.

to be determined

[peak holly]

its a hero shooter cash grab 🙂

[echo shuttle]

I was so confused thinkingthe playtest was somehow still being played and was gonna figure out how to play again T_T Cant do that to me man

[tribal spade]

where is the marathon chart

[magic rose]

ARC Raiders had like 5 times more players than marathons alpha iirc

[cerulean vapor]

Its litterally 5 cod maps taped together for every map. with some loot thrown in randomly lol. it does not feel like a real place to explore at all.

[peak holly]

Thanks to this dude @floral hound

[echo shuttle]

just got to steam charts

[smoky dome]

I mean, Marathon had people playing even when it was in maintenance for 5 hours, lol, who knows, there might be some die-hard arc fans out there that might have stayed on the title screen after it was over

[magic rose]

Marathon feels like concord 2: extraction

[sonic iron]

I mean, marathon is also not in a finished state and just wanted some testers, Arc was marketing

[peak holly]

Cope

[magic rose]

they better finish the shaders soon then lmao

[deft magnet]

I mean yeah but I’m mocking people only talking about charts

[cerulean vapor]

Every public test is "marketing" some marketing is just shit like this games lmao

[sonic iron]

clearly never played an alpha game if you are talking about textures and shaders

[devout grotto]

and i wish it wasnt cause when it was announced it looked sooo good. but after seeing people play it. the whole game looks so... clunky, mis-organized, having an identity crisis.

[patent dust]

my eyes popped out while reading this

[tribal spade]

on top of the shit game

[smoky dome]

it's also funny how people compare the two, when one was 'playtesting' their nearly finished polished product, complete with lighting, full ai, no placeholders, etc... and the other was actually a 2-month old build just to check server infrastructure and handling, heh

[magic rose]

the whole game feels like a soulles title forcefuly pushed out

[peak holly]

Cope

[sonic iron]

they're working on the barebones and networking, and since its a bungie title they wanted to hype people

[tribal spade]

a tech test also used a two month old build

[patent dust]

Souls like Battle Royal is always a No💀

[tranquil fiber]

Isn't the game meant to come out in like three months?

[cerulean vapor]

Yeah the cool arg and media around it made it feel even worse having this turd of a game plopped on our plate after

[peak holly]

Cope

[magic rose]

Bungie makes sick trailers, then delivers on nothing

[potent bramble]

So now that the alpha is over we on their discord shitting on the game?

[deft magnet]

Gamers don’t think, that subspecies isn’t built with higher brain function in mind

[graceful trellis]

The gunplay shouldn’t be the only thing making me want to play marathon again and even then I’d rather play destiny with much more engaging content than it which is sad to say

[magic rose]

Embark made cool trailers, and delivered more

[coarse kernel]

Marathon or both upcoming destiny expansions
The hardest decision in history

[patent dust]

thats literally Ubisoft

[echo shuttle]

I feel like its partially the tests being done at the exact same time. Like literally the same time so alot of people are jumping between the two so its like almost impossible to atleast talk about the two which leads to comparison in discussions

[smoky dome]

save up, get all 3!

[magic rose]

tbh Marathon feels like a game ||ubisoft|| would make

[deft magnet]

Wrong, BL4 ultimate edition

[patent dust]

I wish Marathon was a movie.

[tribal spade]

just get Arc and Destiny expansion

[tawny yacht]

Beta when??

[cerulean vapor]

And both are gonna release around the same time... one is gonna flop xd

[magic rose]

the soul of bungie died long ago with halo 3

[magic rose]

ARC Raiders

[smoky dome]

Yep. Gave people a chance to see two different things at the same time, so comparisons are gonna happen, is just life

[topaz finch]

Nah just buying the most expensive version of arc and D2 expansion

[magic rose]

Fair

[graceful trellis]

Claire obscure is a masterpiece why couldn’t bungie make an amazing single player game on an even bigger scale

[magic rose]

cause they want to chase trends and hero shooters

[sonic iron]

Ill be getting arc, rematch, and marathon when they launch but we'll see what I put most if any hours into

[last blade]

for real.. 2025 ubisoft

[topaz finch]

Sony and Bungie are both greedy

[unkempt parcel]

Where’s my marathon invite

[patent dust]

Marathon trailer direction is something u dont get to see in years. Imagine Arc has same kind of trailer

[coarse kernel]

That comes later
I will be playing marathon day one if possible

[magic rose]

Ill get ARC Raiders, then if marathon is in a good shape ill CONSIDER trying it

[deft magnet]

Ya know I’m starting to wonder why some of you guys are in this server if all you do is bitch and complain

[graceful trellis]

Sony does make great games I just thing to make a fresh new ip or bring back something old which they have plenty isn’t so hard and we want different new stuff

[devout grotto]

side note you guys see they canceled titan fall three due to the lay offs that happened over at Ubi?

[patent dust]

yea

[magic rose]

Yes, good thing we have THE FINALS still

[topaz finch]

Didn’t EA make titanfall?

[sonic iron]

It's sad most game studios couldn't keep all the new employees they hired during covid

[kindred quest]

Is the alpha signup closed? I can't see the channel that was referenced in the initial invite 🤔

[tribal spade]

i was going to say the same thing

[cerulean vapor]

No they bought the studio that made it.

[magic rose]

Closed, go wishlist ARC Raiders on steam

bungies a great example of a corporation buying a company cause of their success (with halo 1-3) only to kill that success with shitty anti consumer decisions. bungie is profit > consumer while a company like embark is clearly consumer > profit

[topaz finch]

Ahh

[tribal spade]

and yes EA did make titanfall, Apex is literally in the same universe

[coarse kernel]

Borderlands 4 is probably a birthday thing? Marathon is carrying from Easter money
Either borderlands or doom, I'll just have to see

[graceful trellis]

I wish they honestly just made a fresh new polished destiny 3 it would’ve been huge

[magic rose]

embark is clearly consumer > profit
Literally facts, they always over-deliver on expectations

[deft magnet]

Personally I’m excited for BL4 and my gf is excited about the new doom game. Best of both worlds

[sonic iron]

bungie was time crunched to make 2 by their publishers and fought to become independent and make it free?

[cerulean vapor]

Ea bought respawn, ea devs didnt make it.

[magic rose]

Marathon in its current state is just slop - its a sad reality

vaulting content that devs spent idk how much time on to create, then for people to buy it and then the decision to vault it? literally spitting in the face of consumers and the people who worked hard on those projects. bungie is a corporate hellscape

[tribal spade]

they are both published by EA

[rancid lake]

any bungie devs wanna send me a survey link with an actual code i can use? got a bunch of reminders and would love to fill out the exit survey but never got a code lol

[glass lava]

?do they really only have one map in marathon? wtf were they doing for5 years

[graceful trellis]

It is actually not enjoyable whatsoever I can’t believe it went from destiny to this and idc about oh it’s an extraction shooter still it’s not engaging at all

[cerulean vapor]

ok did the music publishers "make" whatever artists album you liked last? or was it the artist?

[magic rose]

Embark is made up of former EA devs (dice) but they left because they couldnt use their creativity to the fullest hence forming the studio

[velvet blade]

If you find the survey through your email you shouldn't have to enter the weird code. I had the same issue

[devout grotto]

that explains why ARC was so well tuned and polished

[tribal spade]

thats different. If EA published the title than EA as a company is the one who has a say in anything of the matter. i understand what you mean though. my wording was off in my initial statement

[rancid lake]

word i just found it tyvm

[coarse kernel]

Have they gotten better at making games since battlefront

[last blade]

hopefully the last couple of weeks have been eye opening and they take player/community feedback and improve the game. Halo 1-3 slapped and destiny PvE was fun.. my hope isn't lost for Marathon (though playing arc did kill the excitement I had for marathon)

[cerulean vapor]

You know music companies do exactly the same thing to artists right...?

[magic rose]

good, let embark and sandfall be examples that profit hungry publishers only hold developers back from making pro consumer games for half the price of AAA slop

[glass lava]

judging by destiny 2 they don't gaf about feedback lmao

[willow violet]

idk

[devout grotto]

did you not get the chance to playtest ARC yourself? it was amazing brother, you also cant attribute the failure of battlefront to DICE that was def all EA

[magic rose]

dice got put in the same boat as bungie. greedy publishers buy out succesful studios and monetize the fuck out of them with 25 dlc's that shouldve been included anyways and cosmetic horse shit

[coarse kernel]

I didn't know arc raiders existed until my brother got a code for it literal days ago
I'll probably play it because extraction shooters seem interesting to me

[unkempt parcel]

I played one match. The optimisation was atrocious. The world itself looks good I like the whole aesthetics. The shooting was meh. The weapon I was given was super bad. I was with a random person and we didn’t run into any other real player only robots.

[magic rose]

even if you dont like third person shooters (why?) ARC Raiders was visually stunning

[graceful trellis]

Bungie really shot itself in the foot marathon looks very bland and destiny is just stale now it’s an issue you can’t overlook

[echo shuttle]

tons of vids on youtube that are being posted, I recommend watching one or two. Really fun game atleast i had a ton of fun

[devout grotto]

I wish that were true but if bungie was in the same boat as DICE then destiny two would actually be enjoyable to play. which it is not

[tribal spade]

optimization was good. maybe bad if you have a bad rig

[cerulean vapor]

i run the game great on 1650 ti and shitty cpu lol if it runs bad your pc is just garbo.

[magic rose]

optimisation was incredible imo, what settings did you run? is your PC a potato?

[echo shuttle]

I mean i get the third person complaint esp in pvp fights but it was fine. I dont mind it personally but I get it

[unkempt parcel]

I tried it on series X

[hollow thunder]

i honestly hard disagree it really looks like just pinterest

[graceful trellis]

Who liked concord ngl that game was more fun than marathon right now and that’s a joke to say

[velvet glade]

game ran for me fine on series S 🤷

[devout grotto]

IMO as someone who has over 2k hours on D2 they ruined it after foresaken and it never got any better

[magic rose]

the night raids were so cool and intense

[cobalt wagon]

what typa computer u got cuz i’ve personally never in my life played a game that optimized especially for pre beta

[velvet blade]

i was just about to say, ARC looks great but 3rd person? yikes never touching it

[sonic iron]

arc isnt trying to be mainly pvp

[split adder]

Probs why xd, Console

[coarse kernel]

I trust embark because the finals is good, I also trust bungie because destiny is good and I like the direction marathon is going, I just wish there were more avenues to explore this take on the universes lore ingame but if that comes later I'm fine with that

[tranquil fiber]

the weapon i was given was super bad

you want to start with a good weapon...? in an extraction shooter?

[devout grotto]

makin me miss it...

[white grove]

Someone please give me playtest key

[unkempt parcel]

Console > pc

[tribal spade]

bro it has ended

[cerulean vapor]

Yeah it actually ran incredibly that was one my biggest compliments of the game.

[hollow thunder]

i agree the atmosphere is really immersive and transportive, but i believe the shader is doing the heavy lifting, not the art direction

[magic rose]

its closed, go wishlist ARC Raiders on steam: https://arcraiders.com

[unkempt parcel]

Could never hold 60fps. Had screen tearing. Bad pop ins.

[velvet glade]

what are the chances Bungie cut their losses with Marathon and we don't get to play again

[echo shuttle]

saying arc raiders optimization was atrocious is A WILD CLAIM. boi you on a legit toatster or drivers are corroded idk LOL

[cerulean vapor]

Buy a pc lil bro

[magic rose]

have you seen the concept art?

[hollow thunder]

the finals has better art imo and I didn’t even like the finals, I thought the characters looked like they are from squid game

[last blade]

everyone says marathon is supposed to be PvP focused but the devs themselves said players were only averaging 1 player encounter per round

[upper storm]

I did two rounds, ran into a total of like 5 robots between them. I tried taking the single shot sniper rifle they give you for the intro quest to the second round and it took me like a full 30 seconds to kill 3 hovering drones because they ate 3 shots each. they didn't attack me either, just very very slowly flew toward me as I dinged them. not impressed with the pve from that experience lmao

This like marathon and arc raiders turf war is really funny

sell both and get a pc

[cerulean vapor]

They dont seem to like it lol just whining about omptimization and game on console.

[hollow thunder]

I havent, maybe i’ll look into it later, but both from first impressions, i prefer marathon’s art immensely

[echo shuttle]

Goes to show that you dont know how to fight them at all. Dont aim for headshot but the motors they fly with. Actual skill issue in the flesh

[unkempt parcel]

Don’t need to sell them. I ain’t getting a pc. Don’t like pc gaming.

[magic rose]

have you seen the grass?

[hollow thunder]

bungie gotta fix the shader tho

[clever root]

I wonder what discord the Arc players will invade if Bungie turns on read only after the alpha.

[devout grotto]

to be honest id say its a reasonable assumption. from what ive seen out of bigger streamers the games just not fun. consider that theyve been "working on" marathon for over five years and its still a husk of a game thats lifeless and had no connect to players. i could see them chalkin it up to a loss and trying to make Destiny three as good as can be

[clever root]

Is there a Tarkov discord?

[upper storm]

and i was supposed to know that how 💀 also doesn't excuse the ai doing nothing lmao

[daring musk]

we still talking about "destiny 3" in the big 25 my god

[noble glade]

What the fuck is this

[coarse kernel]

That's something they've literally said they were doing
The closer it looks to the save the date trailer the better tbh that looked amazing

I just hope whatever is gonna change keeps the indoors areas looking as good as they do or better

So... The CoD Discord then?

[echo shuttle]

so the ai bugged out for you once and you think thats gonna happen every ai everywhere? I played 100 raids and saw the ai bug once. ALSO you have to play the game more than 2 games to figure out to shoot the motors. Its not very hard to figure out tbh(not being rude)

[coarse kernel]

If there's a deluxe edition I'm calling it this

[upper storm]

this is true

but in all seriousness if i'd had an easier time fighting the AI it would have just left an even worse impression lol

[tribal spade]

they dont have a extraction mode anymore

[magic rose]

how do i get embed perms?

Cod sucks

ARC Raiders feels like the best extraction shooter, it fills a hole left by DMZ

[unkempt parcel]

Hunt the showdown

[devout grotto]

brother bungie had confirmed theres gonna be another destiny like three months ago so yeah lol whether or not they already canceled that couldnt tell ya, stopped keeping up with news out of the company after they continued to make destiny 2 mindlessly boring to play

[candid mist]

Not a fan of ABI?

[clever root]

True, but they did have one. And you can go there to try to recruit true believers.

[tacit glade]

hunt showdown

[hollow thunder]

oh I know what you mean, yeah its pretty much none existent, but I dont really mind that

[sonic iron]

the ai is intentionally harder, because the plot is they pushed humans underground

[split adder]

Cough Tarkov?

[echo fable]

true, hunt is great

[velvet blade]

3rd person 💤 💤 💤

[devout grotto]

DMZ was PEAK extract shooter gameplay

[sick carbon]

Is it true there is a 275$ collectors edition for the new expansion?

[magic rose]

sweatfest filled with campers and cheaters

[tribal spade]

if i wanted to recruit for the Arc cult id recruit from the cycle frontier

[granite cove]

big difference is they dont have the cheaters yet, if embark can manage the cheaters as well as they do in finals it'd replace tarkov for me tbh

[candid mist]

Or ABI, or Delta Force.. they're all pretty solid. DMZ/Warzone was HARLY and looter/shooter, it was more battle royale

[velvet glade]

those cars ain't gonna buy themselves

[sonic iron]

dmz was NOTHING I wanted it to be and a massive disappointment

[magic rose]

dont know, but with that money you could buy about 7 copies of ARC Raiders

[hollow thunder]

marathon’s map and general vibes to me is more like an arena, so sure, I can see foliages that can actually hide people in is not really a big concern and im cool with that

[delicate vigil]

arc was def alright but it was much more cooperative and people teamed up a lot, i prefer bloodbath pvp so marathon is my style

[clever root]

Is there still a Discord for that now that it's has been shuttered?

[upper storm]

look I'm legit not trying to draw any damning conclusions from what i openly agree was a very limited experience, all I'm saying is the AI did not feel very present at all. I spent like 2 hours in game and fought 5 enemies. in the same time span Marathon ran circles around Arc in that regard for me

[tacit glade]

exactly

Cheating isn't actually that rampant in tarkov, I've seen more cheaters in destiny 2

Be glad you weren’t banned

[candid mist]

Oh, so you haven't played Labs? I have a compilation vid I'd be willing to share.

Thanks for linking a video from way over 2 years ago man lol

[lusty sequoia]

Why the fuck these weirdos love to see their skin in game, jeez (Freud can explain)

[echo shuttle]

How is the ai not present? they are literally everywhere in arc esp if you do night missions but you prob didnt play enough to do that. Like if you purposively avoid the arc then sure you can sneak around them but saying you fought 5 arcs in 2 hours is like, come on dude.....

[magic rose]

How do i get embed perms im a non

[candid mist]

Yeah, saying cheating isn't rampant in tarkov is a BOLD FACED LIE. They profit of it, and it will never be fixed.

[quaint heath]

get good

[candid mist]

That vid is the reason a lot of the player base stopped playing. They never fixed it.

[lusty sequoia]

Freud pls explain why weirdos like to see their skin in game

i mean if you cant run arc then you def cant play tarkov

[granite cove]

i was a 2017 vet and i was one of the people always saying it wasnt that bad, but i realized i was so wrong after the g0at vid and the only reason i could have a good SR is because cheaters let me, that just ruined the whole thing for me

[candid mist]

I palyed for a long time, I'll pick it up from time to time between wipes, get to point where I'm running mostly Labs & it gets OUT OF CONTROL.

[tribal spade]

real and true

[upper storm]

I'm just giving my experience, I'm not gonna argue because like I said I admit I did not play much. But in my first two rounds of marathon I found the AI much harder to avoid and more engaging to fight, that's all I'll say

[potent crag]

I’m not ready to give this game up today lol

Marathon beta not arc raiders

[hollow thunder]

i dont agree with ai not being present in arc, but I definitely agree with ai being more engaging in marathon for me

[candid mist]

TBH I am jonsing to try ARC, does anyone know when it might drop? it seemed pretty polished, right? As long as the other maps are looking similar then we should see it sooner than GTA 6 hopefully

[upper storm]

guys I clicked the link and it put Marauders in my steam cart

[tribal spade]

yall should of seen Hyper, brother was defending for dear life

[magic rose]

you see one is actually good, ill let you figure it out

[umbral rune]

Gta 6 hype where

[magic rose]

darkviper?

[spare sage]

GTA 6 is a MOVIE!! 🗣️

[split adder]

Did you not watch the Aztecross video on AI in arc?

[fleet crown]

Does anyone know when marathon beta closes?

[sonic iron]

not hyped for slop

[magic rose]

oh yeah the second gta 6 trailer dropped today

[tribal spade]

no, just hyper, a dude on this server. biggest bungie warrior

[hollow thunder]

i did not, I just play the video game

[umbral rune]

Be quiet

[magic rose]

why is that?

[smoky dome]

Won't know until they have a beta

[candid mist]

$80-&100 makes me physically Nauseous

oh wow it is gone

Down with nintendo at this point

[sick carbon]

I dunno this AI looks pretty "engaging" to me

[tribal spade]

pretty explanitory, he defends marathon with his life

[fleet crown]

Really guys ? Can I just have an answer?

[sonic iron]

I have my dac still

[devout grotto]

there was def plenty of AI in ARC just not "humanoid" AI

[umbral rune]

I ate the beta that's why no one is responding

[split adder]

Arc has a specific engine giving the robots in Arc AI Like behaviour, Like they will move and be smart. Not following a specific pattern like other games

[hollow thunder]

personally I just like shooting humanoid enemies, the uesc bots feel like obstacles to overcome, arc raiders’ ai to me feels more like traps to avoid

[tranquil fiber]

you have to type /embed

[candid mist]

If Marathon dropped at $80.. 100% its DOA... if ARC RAIDERS dropped at 80.... might have a chance 😦 sad but true, who can cope?

[tribal spade]

there were more actual people than ARC

[devout grotto]

it ends today from what people have been saying

[magic rose]

the ARC machines in ARC Raiders were tought to walk using neural networking

[umbral rune]

arc raiders bad

[magic rose]

you mean that?

[smoky dome]

The Closed Alpha Test ends in about 7 hours

[candid mist]

@fleet crown 9pm ESTG

if thats another word for machine learning then yea

ai??????? cancel them

[magic rose]

get out bud

[umbral rune]

Ban for posting malicious links

[split adder]

What?

[velvet blade]

am i allowed to love Marathon or nah

[upper storm]

when it flew through the air and landed near them I was wondering if it was intentionally gap closing and that would have been pretty cool

[sonic iron]

what do you think neural networking is

[umbral rune]

I saw that boot

[worldly leaf]

So whats after the closed alpha test?

[magic rose]

if you are into souless hero shooters? of course

[deft magnet]

Yeah, but this chat is somehow anti-marathon despite being in the marathon discord

[split adder]

No clue yet

[tribal spade]

says alot

[worldly leaf]

whatever it is I hope i can be apart of it 👍

[ebon heart]

Did the increased AI and incursions and overall difficulty ramp up yesterday AND is supposed to be officially ramped up today as well? Yesterday the AI were NOTICEABLY more hostile n sneaky, cross map headshots from purp shield scout commanders....whuuut. NOTICEABLE increase in engagement, AI routing and brutality. Noticed increased Incursions compared to pre Dangerous Days. Id say the Dangerous Days patch is getting closer to what to expect from Open Beta. THE FULL FACTION UPGRADES COMPLETELY CHANGES THE GAME TO MORE ENDGAME LEVEL PLAY thanks for that. Still buying this game despite not being an extract shooter player.

[smoky dome]

The chat here, compared to the chat that's actually in the alpha general chat is quite different, heh

[velvet blade]

Okay, i just let you enjoy ARC but you always gotta take some weird angle/jab at people you disagree with

[crisp goblet]

Rip bungie

[magic rose]

wdym

[coarse kernel]

I should see arc raiders gameplay ngl
And more marathon I need both these games

[magic rose]

bungie lost its soul a long time ago

[deft magnet]

Says you guys just wanna rage bait ngl

[smoky dome]

I just know they said they were going to be upping stuff, and have events every round, based on what was announced

[ebon heart]

#💬general-alpha-discussion is a lot more grounded n less trolly

[magic rose]

i dont have access

[sonic iron]

I was never given a chance to play marathon. maybe when it releases

[clever root]

Arc was better than when I first tried it during this test. Initially I had a rough time. The third person is not a deal breaker, but for me it would be more immersive in first person. Third person seems to be a decision to sell skins.

Marathon has the gunplay feel that I like and I like the art style. And appears to have more going for it then DMZ. It's not hard to beat a game that was mostly forgotten because it couldn't be efficiently monetized using the existing system. I'm hopeful for more details and see where it goes.

[ebon heart]

Ill drop my feedback in #1328413313612382218

[unkempt parcel]

Same.

[magic rose]

someone reacted to my message with a clown emoji, what an argument!

[coarse kernel]

I really hope that open beta isn't region or platform locked like the alpha is

[ebon heart]

Prolly won't be

[ebon heart]

You get less of this in alpha chat is what the mod was saying

[upper storm]

dawg is arguing with funny cartoon faces and losing

[smoky dome]

Reason the Closed Alpha was focusing on NA is because they were using limited server infrastructure which limited reach for good connection options

[unkempt parcel]

Are you a mod

[quiet osprey]

when alpha end ?

[echo shuttle]

He is the ceo

[final rose]

Does anyone know how much the game will cost? I'm pretty excited for it

[smoky dome]

I am a moderator here, yes

[ebon heart]

He is a ninja

[unkempt parcel]

Ok cos I’ve never seen that ninja role before it was sus

[worldly leaf]

Guessing 40 or 60$

[echo shuttle]

think most are saying both arc and marathon will be around 40ish usd

[cedar saddle]

That doesn't exist on discord dummy

[velvet blade]

quit with the dramatics

[ebon heart]

Mod ninja lyfe

[final rose]

Oh that's not bad at all

[upper storm]

they've said it won't be full price, most people have started assuming $40

[final rose]

Thank you for answering guys you all seem very nice 👍

[umbral rune]

Chat marathon or gears of war remake?

[ebon heart]

#ThisIsTheWay

[worldly leaf]

lowkey think alot of people are salty abt not being able to play

[cedar saddle]

There is no censorship on discord. It's their discord and they can run it how they please this isn't a democracy it's a dictatorship

[deft magnet]

Have you considered his messages were bad for the community?

[quiet osprey]

when alpa end plz

[umbral rune]

Lol

[echo shuttle]

Ooop it got deleted

[unkempt parcel]

Can you please stop inciting violence and stop promoting other games in chat please? Also stop discussing your warnings here in chat.

[clever root]

Does the emoji offend you?

But honestly, any of the arguments you have responded to could be boiled down to, "You're wrong, my opinion is right, stop being a child." Can't really have an argument or discussion with someone who is closed minded.

[coarse kernel]

I know but I really hope I'll be able to play the beta, I wanna try it for myself
Hoping to see what shakes up in the coming months

[viscid plinth]

hahahahaha

[deft magnet]

Like idk, maybe dude is getting messages deleted cuz he’s not being a good actor

[echo shuttle]

same

[velvet blade]

Yes

[snow aurora]

i just sneezed for the first time today

[deft magnet]

Bless you

[coarse kernel]

Bro saw god save Birmingham gameplay

[devout grotto]

the saddest part about bungie is they blamed the company going soul-less on its partnership with activision, they then found a way to close out of that contract and i had actual hopes for destiny improving. maybe even becoming more like D1. instead we were left with seasonal game modes that were the very definition of soul-less game play loops with a terrible battle pass system. they even managed to make exotics (one of the key driving points of playing) feel so useless when getting an engram to drop. back in D1 you got one to drop and youd be freaking out for twenty minutes. D2 its like "oh. another one huh"

[thin stream]

It begins

[left nimbus]

Me still still waiting for my alpha code

[tranquil fiber]

did the embed perms guy just get nuked

[viscid plinth]

im gonna edit the announcement trailer with different music uno moment uwu

[echo shuttle]

I want code even if its just for a few hours. Do i look qualified?

[umbral rune]

Probably

[sonic iron]

activision is awful though

[viscid plinth]

[left nimbus]

hey bud I think you're in the wrong discord

[hidden warren]

I don't know why so many here trynna pick a side. I want both arc and marathon to be good. 2 decent/good games is better than 1 or nothing

[unkempt parcel]

I wish us Bungie old timers gotten an invite 😔

[viscid plinth]

hospital food

[devout grotto]

oh yeah no i agree completely but bungie became just as bad if not worse

[hollow thunder]

truly

[echo shuttle]

I think most of us feel the same way

[green gazelle]

It’s still delicious

[sonic iron]

anyway imma go watch the borderlands 4 trailers, hope theyre cool

[viscid plinth]

I want marathon more because I like it more :3c

[viscid plinth]

fair tbh

[green gazelle]

I copied you

[echo shuttle]

Whats good at panera? Think i might try it this week

[coarse kernel]

Personal preference isn't allowed here, I'm going to have to confiscate your bully smg now

Just understand though, you will get to play the game eventually, this is just alpha, there will be so many other opportunities

I am now Traxus instead of deli

[viscid plinth]

:( nooo

[left nimbus]

macoroni 🙂

[viscid plinth]

but im so impatient like

[umbral rune]

Did the arc raider defender get destroyed?

[tribal spade]

im just mad at bungie for not having cross progression in Destiny

[echo shuttle]

I need something else. Im not eating out to eat mac and cheese. Ill just make some

[swift mirage]

is marathon gonna be f2p?

[hollow thunder]

fr I understand why people can be in love with arc, but punching down other people’s opinions and preferences, and constantly telling people to support the game you like is neither arguing or mature, and honestly giving the community you are in a bad name

[echo shuttle]

I mean im a defender for arc but im not against marathon either

[hidden warren]

Well yeah of course. Not all games will be the same for all but I don't think is a bad thing to have multiple options. It is a good thing for the companys too, to have some healthy competition and actually drive them to do better

[worldly leaf]

I mean people can be into both games without arguing right?

[velvet blade]

the problem wasn't arc raiders it was the dudes behavior. very disrespectful person that is hopefully gone

[umbral rune]

It was someone constantly posting links to their website for arc

[tribal spade]

me niether i just have a unhealthy habit of rage baiting when i can

[upper storm]

Dawgs never gotten the lobster and smoked gouda mac and cheese at the local crab shack

[swift mirage]

how much is it gonna be? 40 dola?

[left nimbus]

that's the rumor

[hidden warren]

2 dabloons

[swift mirage]

ok good

[upper storm]

or the black truffle mac and cheese at that one italian place i went to in new york

[hollow thunder]

honestly I would buy marathon day1 if its priced the same with hunt showdown

[worldly leaf]

gonna sell my last goat for this game

[green gazelle]

Have you seen the dabloon kitty on TikTok

[uncut basin]

10 dabloons, 2 is too low 😔

[next plaza]

gonna be 40 i think

[coarse kernel]

Arc raiders does look pretty nice
Marathon should have some kind of communication system between players but I think both games do look pretty sweet

[left nimbus]

not sure why everyones so hung up on the price when any other game today is 40+ and i don't see anyone complaining

[tight hamlet]

Has anyone been playing the alpha since everything got unlocked? Its been pretty cool.

[umbral rune]

It's 10 shillings actually

[hollow thunder]

if I want one mechanic from arc raiders for marathon its gotta be the extraction manhole

[worldly leaf]

ong, games be like 59.99$ or 69.99$

[hidden warren]

Saw her for the last time like a month ago. Gave me her rest of her dabloons so I am kinda rich now

[tight hamlet]

Oh sorry Tacodila

[green gazelle]

The TikTok going away dabloons broke me

[uncut basin]

i miss dabloons ☹️

Would probably be better to ask that in #💬general-alpha-discussion

[left nimbus]

Me tonight at 12:00 AM EST (didn't get alpha yet)

[tight hamlet]

😦 sorry everyone

[hollow thunder]

solo extraction imo is too fucking scary in marathon rn, I gotta stand in a 5m radius circle out in the open with no cover for 10 seconds. if ttk is 1sec I can get shot to pieces 10 times over

[green gazelle]

So do we just all have to e same FYP

[viscid plinth]

When I lived in Texas working for blizzard I ate so much fish in pretty sure I’m like mainly mercury now

[worldly leaf]

No no its glup

[echo shuttle]

oh the hatches are awesome. Makes it very unlikely to get extract camped with the raider hatches around the map

[uncut basin]

my dad is super allergic so i’ve never really had the chance and since im now in my 20’s it’s kinda scary to try fish now 💀 the last time i was gonna go to a sushi place to try that i got strep throat the day before i was gonna go 😭 😭

[worldly leaf]

you cant let strep stop you

[uncut basin]

i don’t wanna make everyone sick so i stayed home

[hollow thunder]

truly, although its obvious the extraction site in marathon is designed to create tense extract site shootouts, its just too unfriendly of a design for solos, bungie really need to improve on that in some way if not adding manholes

[green gazelle]

Any helathy eaters here i started my journey in January it’s so hard no buying pizza

[upper storm]

i made a big deal out of this in my survey responses. crew fill teams are dysfunctional. can't ask for ammo, can't coordinate what our objectives are or where we want to go, can't share much meaningful info in combat. most people aren't on mic and even if they are, randoms aren't gonna work together as well as a real team. solo/duo queue is needed

I fluctuate weight like a girl though my genetics are weird

Any type of sugary drinks is the worst of the worst. When I wanted to loose some kilos and fat for a match I had I just stopped drinking sugary drinks and my weight dropped like crazy

[green gazelle]

Redbull has nothing on my pre workout routine lmao

[green gazelle]

It’s insane what they put in soda

[hollow thunder]

maybe bungie should think of another way for solocels to cope other than the manholes from arc, since at the end of the day I really consider them to be different sub genres within extraction shooters, arc raiders is like…more sim than sandbox pvpve arena, and marathon should find its own design to match

[uncut basin]

so i’m hearing less soda more water and milk

[stone jasper]
