Too positive, kill this person?

[wraith lark]

Christ, we are just going round and round again. Surprised none of you get dizzy

[ember crater]

I doubt they read it for great lengths but take peaks. Then vent to themselves about something dumb they saw

[left moon]

Ahaha trust me i am not, i was mildly disappointed, mostly by the heroes system

[kindred vigil]

You're doing it all wrong, you can't be disappointed and still be hopeful, you must sit here typing why the gaming industry is dead right now

let's go, I need a 10 page 100words essay by tomorrow

[proud glade]

dead game cuz only 1 dude is playing it!!11!!!

[dense seal]

on my opinion the heroes doesn't look as bad as some people are making out for them to be

[last blade]

I would not even open up this server if I was on the dev team.. too much negativity lmao

[charred belfry]

your brain working?

[hollow kestrel]

Delay game and make it work. I still believe it could be great if they just be patient and rework a lot of stuff. They have a lot of great ideas.

[supple hound]

i guess im just trying to find solace in the failure that would become of Blacklight Retribution and Titanfall's player bases, why cant futuristic alternative PVP shooters just keep their numbers up and work out

[last blade]

they need someone doing damage control, crazy to me there have been no blog posts or anything since the alpha test closed

[wraith lark]

Can I submit a chudjack as an attachment to my essay

[left moon]

It's just a matter of personal taste, i don't like to impersonate a character with a backstory in Multyplayers, i play single player games for that

[kindred vigil]

yes

[dense seal]

we are getting something this friday

[ember crater]

I would definitely, then prolly rant to a coworker about something then they would tell me to stop looking and Id continue looking anyways. I know myself

[last blade]

yeah but letting the community fume for over a week probably isn't smart

[left moon]

Yeah i would not mind a significant delay

[dense seal]

this is where it gets weird because the runners itself are suppose to be shells and multiple people can use them, i guess they are 'named' but 'nameless?' in a way

[proud glade]

well the intention was to do it the 9th

[charred belfry]

id assume they are debating how to handle the situation, the "cancel" of the live stream is pretty telling.MarathonTheGame — 5/8/2025 1:11 PM
Our Game Director, JoeZ, will be unavailable this Friday, so we're shifting our PlayMA to May 16th at 1PM PT, that way we can stream our Friday internal playtest. We're eager to dive into Alpha feedback and share our initial thinking.

📺 twitch.tv/marathonthegame

[kindred vigil]

They're probably titles based off their abitlies and not named in a traditional sense as a quick head canon

[left moon]

As far as i have seen they are named and the characters handle photos of families, have particolar voices and characters

[dense seal]

this basically

[hollow kestrel]

They need to keep it simple and focus on graphics , gunplay, and body animations when getting shot and movement. Like titanfall did. If you can’t do those things right don’t move to the next step. I thing the limb destruction was a great idea then they got rid of it.

[wraith lark]

They should just release GNOP 2 at this point.

[ember crater]

I think cancelling the NDA was semi a mistake, like, 100000% it wouldve leaked anyways but I think the decision to lift it bit them in the ass

[charred belfry]

they cancelled because the pressure, and... its clear they were right. the game is in a very bad state.

[dense seal]

the shells has personality but the user that's on them are different

[last blade]

people have been calling it concord 2 since the announcement and the alpha didn't help that at all

[ember crater]

Easier to defend the state if you maintained a hard stance. But releasing the NDA shows a confidence that clearly wasnt there

[dense seal]

plus there is a lot of things hinting that the families picture is deadass the same used for all of the runners

[left moon]

Were did you get this from? It would be a bit better but i don't think this is the case

[kindred vigil]

The family photo is a psyop if you notice in the trailer void also has the same child pic as glitch

[sonic iron]

He took the photo

[left moon]

I would still rather have blank characters

[wraith lark]

Alright, question for the REAL MARATHON PATRIOTS IN CHAT! I NEED YOUR OPINION!

[sonic iron]

If you didn't remember

[kindred vigil]

go on

[charred belfry]

yup, bungies vision on an extraction shooting is very... rough. honestly, map design, environmental audio, pve was just shameless.

[wraith lark]

What should I get to eat? I'm kind of hungy

[kindred vigil]

Chinese takeout is always a good choice

[hollow kestrel]

Examples gears of war was amazing . How could they make it better? Look at off the grid they made movement better and limb destruction better. Marathon didn’t even make it compared to other games let alone make it better.

[proud glade]

have some

[ember crater]

Gears is dead as door nails

[dense seal]

the runners itself are US, the shells are just made up for us to use

like how locus is suppose to be the soldier type look and etc etc

[charred belfry]

their marketing did a good job of making people believe the game had depth... lol

[supple hound]

i just cant help but find these major criticisms and judgement of player count before its official launch odd

[last blade]

gears was amazing for its time.. they didn't do a great job with delivering on the follow up games

[dense seal]

the game does, story wise

[left moon]

This does not say that a runner has its character AND the one of who is using it

[sonic iron]

SekGen Silkworms weaving Jordans

[charred belfry]

even character customization was absolutely trash.

[proud glade]

remember when they specifically said the alpha wouldn't have much story

[left moon]

On this i agree

[last blade]

The first GoW was a groundbreaking title.. nothing like it had been made before

[charred belfry]

what was good about the alpha,i cant anything beyond gunplay, which bungie has always done well.

[left moon]

So voices and moods, are they us? I don't think, so runners have their thoughts and emotions

[ember crater]

Pepperidge farm remembers

[last blade]

after the first one I think the excitement wore off

[left moon]

Interior design was great 🙂 and also guns esthetics

[hollow kestrel]

Look at ark raiders there shootouts are amazing with shields lighting up on different parts of the body when being shot and sparks flying everywhere. Sound of shield being broken was amazing too. Come on marathon get inovative and improve on the basics and you can’t go wrong. When games over think things this is what happens . Old saying keep it simple like AC/DC the band.

[charred belfry]

agreed, interior POI was good.

[safe kernel]

And Pepperidge farm isnt gonna keep it to themselves for free

[proud glade]

Do not bring AC/DC into this

[dim swallow]

[kind cairn]

I had this Conquest LMG with a really cool scope that I liked

[hollow kestrel]

[dense seal]

yes, the runners (us) transfer the consciousness into the shells

the shells are suppose to be personality and 'named-nameless' pre-set things so that a specific person can relate too

but they also have lore on their own and so on and forth

[main prism]

why did i get timed out and this guy doesn't get timed out for saying shit like this

[dim swallow]

TLDR

[supple hound]

awrc waiduhs

[left moon]

To me the main reason to play marathon is the curiosity of see what will happen in the story, factions, secrets and aliens...all that lore stuff

[dense seal]

interesed to see the aliens specifically

[main prism]

lore gamers rise up

[main prism]

where my s'pht kr

[dense seal]

there is also the pfhor

[last blade]

good reason to play the original marathon.. not the 2025 version

[main prism]

not interested in pfhor

[hollow kestrel]

Lol

[left moon]

Nah i don't think this holds up at all, for me it does not work and totally breaks my "suspension of incredulity" as they call it 🙂
Spoils the magic a bit, but i can get over it i am sure

[dense seal]

the main one has this though, it is a continuation

[supple hound]

yeah i wanna know so bad what the UESC Marathon map will be like

[main prism]

lukewarm

[ember crater]

I want to get freaky with a S'pht

[main prism]

yooooo

[ember crater]

What who hacked my keyboard

[left moon]

Game didn't show lore yet, too early to decide this i think

[main prism]

time them out marathon

[proud glade]

why are we all the sudden praising arc raiders
weren't we like 6 months ago trashing on it

[kind cairn]

Caloric

[dense seal]

the alpha had lore and some people made videos on it, it's really cool

[main prism]

because people found a new target to shit on

[dreamy geyser]

They act like theyre gonna be playin arc

[last blade]

I mean if they put a single player mode into the game filled with lore I would change my stance on the game entirely.. but from everything I've heard they aren't going to do that

[supple hound]

arc raiders was like a ball of hateful comparison and the haters ball it like Shaq to dunk on us

[left moon]

Didn't watch because i don't want spoilers 😛

[hollow kestrel]

Hey MINDA what is something that marathon does that is way better than other games? Do you have and answer? Alpha or not dosent matter

[main prism]

we know for a fact that this is a phase and soon they'll return to destiny or complaining

[proud glade]

who is minda

[left moon]

I don't want a single player, i want to discover that world with my friends 🙂

[kindred vigil]

I hate video games

[main prism]

who tf is minda

[hollow kestrel]

Mida

[main prism]

i play it every day

[dreamy geyser]

Theyll find another game

[ember crater]

All games lose to Chess

[dense seal]

tldr (not spoilers, might be exciting) is that on launch we'll have 6 factions that we can work with, and each one of them will have an AI representive so you'll probably get a lot of POV's and that stuff

[hollow kestrel]

Answer ?

[main prism]

they always do bro they always shit on one thing and then when another comes around they dance around it

[last blade]

who was ever trashing on arc raiders (other than marathon diehard fans in denial)? Even people who played play test 1 had nothing but good things to say about it

[proud glade]

you will forever be known as minda guy now

[hollow kestrel]

Like u

[main prism]

who are you talking to bro is schizo

[proud glade]

i'm minda guy????

[main prism]

bro who is minda

[last blade]

single player or co-op, either way I don't think they're doing a story mode. Would be sweet if they did though

[mental mango]

Some don’t know vintage games when it come to playing them just sharing a bit history

[left moon]

Plus, talking of Arc Raiders, the game is valid but to me it seems very very far from the masterpiece everyone is shouting about, i have seen the GOTY calls and stuff. Reviewers and gamers always overreact. To me it seems a good third person extraction shooter, nothing that special

[dreamy geyser]

People just forget that:
not every game is meant to be played

[supple hound]

thats cool, if its any recommendation, i was new to it all recently and the lore of current Marathon's future is still very much unknown to all, its mainly about the past and how everything led up to this point, made me even more excited

[dreamy geyser]

If you dont like it nor feel interested in
Dont bother playin it

[main prism]

calling arc raiders goty when expedition 33 exists is fucking wild

[ember crater]

Dont tell that to my steam library

[left moon]

Exactly

[dreamy geyser]

Steam library is another history

[last blade]

by far the best game I've played in a longggggggggggg time, don't know how to explain it but it definitely lives up to the hype

[wraith lark]

the act of owning the game is enough to fufill my need to have it. Don't need to play it at all

[proud glade]

into the pit still stains my library

[left moon]

But why, nobody gives any substantiated reason

[dense seal]

this is funny because arc raiders literally has the same art style as concord lol

[dreamy geyser]

Me with dark souls 2
I got it
Played a bit
Dont wanna touch it

[mental mango]

oh no the word arc

[supple hound]

THATS WHAT I WAS THANKIN

[proud glade]

no we're just talking about the subclass trust

[wraith lark]

Centrist detected. Destroy. Destroy. /s

[main prism]

trying to shit on marathon without actual constructive criticism in a marathon server should warrant a time out

[hollow kestrel]

Anyone going to answer? What is something that marathon has done that is way better than other games? Nothing . Unless u can say something?

[ember crater]

Fire the nukes

[proud glade]

im minda

[main prism]

lmfaoooooo

[left moon]

Pal the game is not out yet 🙂

[mental mango]

well sorry to say if not on x box no use to me

[supple hound]

pink cat that jumped judge that one time in the intergalatic courtroom

[dense seal]

it's cool to notice bc you can clearly see that the arc raiders devs used the style in a way that it worked, where in concord it looked bland and extremely forced in a way

[wraith lark]

My brother in christ, your argument is unfalsifiable. Thats why no one wants to engage with it.

[dreamy geyser]

Just play division 1 instead
Clearly superior

[last blade]

just the overall game feel.. from the minute you drop into the game you feel like you're in the world. The gameplay is tense the entire time.. the sounds you hear throughout the environment are so well done they are like nothing I've ever heard in a game before. The PVP is fantastic, the PVE is just as good and the AI are SUPER challenging to the point that you often want to avoid them if solo.. extractions are tense, looting is tense, everything is just the perfect mix for an extraction shooter

[dense seal]

the story?

[wraith lark]

Need to get around to that so I can better understand the GFL event over it

[kindred vigil]

Gunplay + environments imo

[hollow kestrel]

Cool thanks

[dense seal]

the story, gunplay and environments

[proud glade]

Unlike traditional battle royales, Marathon emphasizes looting valuable items and extracting them rather than being the last player standing. Players select from unique characters called Runners, each with specific abilities, and form squads to tackle maps filled with AI enemies and rival players. The game is highly punishing—players lose all looted items upon death—but also offers intense and rewarding moments.

[supple hound]

concord's failure would make a really good study, especially with regards to audience reception, i wonder if it wasnt a hero shooter if it wouldve still flopped

[main prism]

gun play, lore, but tbh this is just fishing for something that doesn't exist

[kind cairn]

Concord was so good

[dreamy geyser]

Yes it wouldve
The character design was atrocious
Art style was beyond bland
40$ price tag
Console exclusive
No world building nor lore

[proud glade]

we do not accept you into nu

[dense seal]

probably, do take notice that they didn't test the game all too much, funnily it launched quite bug free, but it was literally a nothing burger

[ember crater]

Trash can (robot)

[dreamy geyser]

No matter if it was any other genre, it wouldve failed

[left moon]

To me it seems you like it because it is intense and fantastic, but you are not really explaining what makes them so...nobody is doing it for Arc Raiders, that is my feeling at least. For now it seems there is a lot of subjective "good feeling", which i don't want to dismiss, but does not convince me to join the hype

[main prism]

2 pieces of white bread and a slice of lettuce ahh game

[dense seal]

this sums up it perfectly

[kindred vigil]

Concord feels like they wanted to be guardian of galaxy but forgot what makes them likable

[last blade]

it's not something that can be described, you just have to watch gameplay or play it yourself to understand

[main prism]

concord feels like xthrashx's messages

[supple hound]

corporate capitalism mang :/

[proud glade]

minda

[main prism]

MINDA

[left moon]

I watched gameplay, it seems nice but not that masterpiece people are describing

[kind cairn]

I can explain my reasoning but I shall refrain

[kindred vigil]

baiting my rage aren't you.....

[supple hound]

MINDA

[hollow kestrel]

Ok it’s intense extracting but is it doing anything new or why is it more intense than other games?

[magic rose]

[proud glade]

it has minda

[kind cairn]

No I thought Concord was pretty cool unironically

[main prism]

see for yourself minda

[left moon]

Doesn't need to do that necessarily

[supple hound]

it is a less serious extraction shooter, an arcade extraction shooter, i would say thats new, simply put

[ember crater]

Man listen I just dont rhink Bungie got around to adding tents to the environment of Marathon, when they add tents we can all come together and say its in tents.

[dense seal]

the art style is new, the game is intense at its own moments

but it doesn't need to do new stuff to be good in a way

ive super interested to hear what they talk about. Mgiht try to tune in during work, or actually what times does it air

[safe kernel]

1pm pt

[echo shuttle]

ah 4pm est i should be able to listen to it

[safe kernel]

My bad pt not pst

[echo shuttle]

oh they say they are gonna dive into the alpha feedback and respond. Dope so they are gonna address it, hope they bring up solo play

if not then ill be sad

[safe kernel]

Would of been better if it happen last Friday like it was supposed to

[echo shuttle]

eh i mean stuff happens so its whatever

[safe kernel]

I doubt they will do solo until they establish they have a player base to support the 3 man first

[echo shuttle]

I dont think having a solo/duo queue would really hurt anything. I know its got some negative attention rn but I think tehy will have good numbers atleast on release

if anything it would make alot of people play more if you ask me. I hate playing with randoms and I think alot of people do. So its nice having the option if your friends arnt on

So if I cant solo then I prob wont really want to play cause randos are lame :3

[safe kernel]

Yea they probably will wait to see numbers post launch and at that point dictate wether they include other party sizes duos would be dope tho

[echo shuttle]

either way I hope they atleast talk about it 🤷‍♂️

[safe kernel]

Idk why games switched from quads to trios tho

[echo shuttle]

MMmmm maybe once you introduce abilities it becomes a bit much after a certain amount of people on a team

[tacit cloud]

[last blade]

People don’t have as many friends after covid

[echo shuttle]

Not to mention if there is a revive system in the game. Having alot on a team make it really hard to full kill if there is like 4 or 5 players

[last blade]

Probably hard enough to kill 3 when you can be revived when you’re fully dead

[magic rose]

Quads and trio are both fun coming from someone who play with randoms

If it release in the state it’s currently in game will insta die ngl

[dark egret]

Yeah, it was small, like 6.31gigs for me, but it was just an alpha test. I'm rly hoping they do a beta so we can see the progress. I'm not sure if it's a game I'd play long term yet tbh.

[safe kernel]

There is a 99% chance their will be a beta. They did a beta for d2 no way theres not one for this

[mental mango]

[sharp osprey]

[next plaza]

can a marathon dev ...tell us when the next beta is ...i wanna play so badly god dammit

????

[kindred vigil]

Yeah let me tag the devs rq (don't do this)

[ember crater]

dw I'll send them a letter through USPS

[hearty garden]

I want it to be good but I’m approaching cautiously, not paying 40 dollars for what I got to experience

[ionic escarp]

Yo anyone hitting a geek rn???

[ember crater]

I put my geek in a trash can just a couple minutes ago

[ionic escarp]

Good try horse tranq trust😂 ✌️

[dark egret]

Yeah, that's my hope! 😁

[kindred vigil]

I love marathon

[ember crater]

I hope there will be a Delta

and maybe if we get lucky they'll make it to Theta

[dark egret]

Exactlyyyy!! Those were my thoughts too. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I also wouldn't pay 40$ for what was in the alpha. Definitely some good stuff in there, even with the improvement still ongoing.

Yeah. I'm hoping more of my friends will join this time if they do a beta 😂 I wanna see how it feels with friends vs solo/filling

[echo shuttle]

Apparently in the alpha, solo was terrible

[kindred vigil]

G!!!!!

[zinc mantle]

1v3 constantly sounds like so much fun 💩

[dark egret]

It was....an experience ✨😂 can't decide what was more annoying to deal with solo, an opposing runner trio or the ai when they gang up.

[topaz comet]

Marathon 1994 kind of reminds me of 2025 the more i play it

[hearty garden]

The constant revives are annoying af if u don’t squad wipe they will just come back and kill u

[topaz comet]

better get more than ticks or ill be mad @ bungie

[topaz comet]

theres no way it stays the way it currently is

[tropic jungle]

based on a lot of the streams i watched, 1v3 would of been fun cuz everyone sucked 😛

[ancient fern]

Like it's absolutely possible, I won't deny that. Unless you put tons of hours into competitive pvp though or are used to that it can be very tense and just blegh augh agh

[echo shuttle]

so fun till you face half decent players and its cooked T_T

[ancient fern]

As Pixel said of course when it comes to players who can actually be a threat

[alpine finch]

alpha keys

[native stag]

alpha isnt still going is it?

[kindred vigil]

it is not

[native stag]

That's what I figured, I never received a key anyhow. Plus it looks like this discord is mainly used as a bungie fan chatroom now

[kindred vigil]

you mean an arguing room

[native stag]

I havent experienced any arguing

[kindred vigil]

I mean shit post alpha this discord died but I mean there's nothing to talk about so

[kindred vigil]

Trust me there's 7+ arguments per like day in this chat most of it it's about arc raiders

[atomic pulsar]

bnw

[native stag]

arc raiders?

[kindred vigil]

yes the game

[rancid sundial]

hey

[unkempt galleon]

Well to add something to talk about—

I used to play CS2 a lot. I started trying to really take the game seriously so that I could hopefully win more matches. I set out to achieve this by learning line ups for as many maps as possible. I started with the lineups that felt most critical. I was literally compiling video clips containing each line up from Youtube in a note folder organized by map and side.

Eventually, my life got busier and busier and I felt like CS2 was a part time job. It felt like the only way to enjoy CS2 Premier was to have that sortve commitment. I burned out on that…

Is this just how CS2 is? Is this just how you have to play CS if you want to win?

[nocturne oyster]

not just cs, if u in a competitive mindset for anything u gonna burn out pretty quick if you're too hard on yourself

either that or you genuienly dont like the game

[unkempt galleon]

I just wish I could enjoy CS without it being so time consuming. Like I enjoy the gun play, the style of game it is, but I hate that it feels like Im doomed to shitty game after shitty game if I dont study lineups

[ember crater]

I've defnitely learned to be less competitive as the stressors of adult life started to pile up

[unkempt galleon]

(before anyone says play casual/competive (whatever valve calls it) I dont really enjoy that)

[nocturne oyster]

at some point u gotta realize theres shit u cant control, and one of the biggest tilt factors imo are teammates. its hard but try to focus on what u can do match to match instead of your teammates fucking up

idk too much about cs so i cant speak much on ur perspective

[ember crater]

Used to play Ranked Siege and/or Ranked League a while back, then I realized a bad night of ranked games would mean I'd go to work the next day pissed off and feeling like I wasted all my time home. So I stopped

[nocturne oyster]

siege ranked will do sum crazy things to the soul

[ember crater]

oh it did...it definitely did

[unkempt galleon]

I used to play siege on PC (played it a bunch in its popularity prime on console), really enjoyed it but was really turned off by just how prevalent cheating was… I left to try out CSGO a few months before CS2 came out

[ember crater]

Man...playing Siege felt like you had to out gun cheaters yeah, you got one tapped in the brain or you did it to them

Im proud my shitter skills got me to Plat, even if it's not that impressive at the end of the day.

[unkempt galleon]

Yeah… I used to play Apex on console a ton as well. Switched to PC and now I felt I had a whole college level course worth of movement tech I would have to learn to overcome Aim Assist (for those of you who dont know AA is really OP in Apex)

On top of the game’s visual chaos that makes MnK even harder

[ember crater]

I absolutely hate AA, any game that has it for PC atleast should allow you to turn off crossplay to turn off aim assist

[unkempt galleon]

100%, my biggest point of disappointment with Marathon is seeing that their solution to balancing AA is to just pull a Halo Infinite

Thats another fps on PC I used to play, but then it died and the devs decided to deal with AA by giving MnK a lite version

[nocturne oyster]

playing against rollers in infinite as mnk before they added the magnetism was so bad

[unkempt galleon]

Idk I held my own ok… I forget what rank I was in

[nocturne oyster]

season 1 ranks were pretty easy to climb but then i think season 3 came and i was just getting completely shit on around diamond 4-5

i had to bait teammates real bad to pick up kills

[unkempt galleon]

well the game is a game won on the basis of how well you team-fight/team-shoot

cant blame you for using aimless teammates to win

[nocturne oyster]

depends on the mode, and most cases its not just kills. as mnk you were severely at a disadvantage in 1v1s against rollers, your 3 br shots would hardly land unless u lead really well cause there was no magnetism

now that the comp wep is the dmr its been much better

[unkempt galleon]

Id give the game another go but knowing that Im just basically playing against AA at all times now is a no go for me

[nocturne oyster]

mnk has aim assist now so you can compete, although it feels really weird

[unkempt galleon]

I think I remember hearing that Apex nerfed AA and significantly improved visual clarity, but idk… movement tech is so crazy in that game and I just dont know any of it

[unkempt galleon]

exactly… I dont care to feel like I won a gun fight all because AA

[nocturne oyster]

ye i feel u

dont feel rewarding

[unkempt galleon]

Idk what to play, Ive been just relegating myself to Hell Let Loose and single player games

[nocturne oyster]

you played cyberpunk 2077?

[unkempt galleon]

about start my next play-through this week

[safe kernel]

Anyone here tried butcher box or naw

[nocturne oyster]

try corpo, dialogue options r crazy

[unkempt galleon]

I actually did Corpo V the first time through with 200 hrs, I would prefer to try out Streetkid for the character immersion of it feeling more appropriately to my head cannon of what kinda person V is and my personal politics/how I connected politically with the game

[nocturne oyster]

ye it does, you pretty much funneled into a streetkid story once you meet jackie. it sucks

[unkempt galleon]

yeah… they definitely had a more broad varied rpg style game in mind at the concept phase but realities came crashing in and they had to focus the project

I still love the story that is told and the world they adapted, but my politics certainly uplift my feelings/connection to the game

[nocturne oyster]

that would've been sick man

[unkempt galleon]

careful, some people may not have played the game. I went in not knowing about anything that would happen

essentially*

It made the end of Act 1 a fuck ton more impactful

I didnt have a good of sense of how long the game was so I was really immersed in the perspective of V, didnt realize the game was over till it was

[nocturne oyster]

were each of the planned constructs supposed to represent nomad, corpo, streetkid?

[unkempt galleon]

I wont argue with that… its a fair view. I would just feel bad denying someone the experience I was able to have with the game

[true mountain]

fortnite?

[surreal nova]

Excellent voice actors too

[unkempt galleon]

Yeah, totally agree. I really can not wait to see what Orion brings

[unkempt galleon]

[cyan bridge]

[unkempt galleon]

Did you have different expectations based on the lore?

[thin ridge]

It's crazy how quiet this server got

actual ghost town

[kindred vigil]

50 thousand people used to live here....

[safe kernel]

Well with no info till friday their isnt much to talk about

[cerulean vapor]

/sugma

And most of it is shit posting about the game

[thin ridge]

Oh for sure, but compared to The Finals (back when that had it's alpha) it's pretty impressive

This server has a HUGE member count in comparison and that server was constantly chatty

[willow pawn]

People move fast

[signal ermine]

I mean if we wanna be technical here, the finals is a whole new type of game. That with the destructing and everything.

[safe kernel]

Eh wouldn't say new type

[willow pawn]

It's also more esport oriented and more about ranking up

[safe kernel]

Destruction definitely isnt new

[signal ermine]

I mean fair not "new type" but widespread destruction factored into every bit of detail of the game in a multiplayer setting.

What other games do that where you blow open a wall and instead of a broken wall asset animation you get what the finals does with its structure damage.

[safe kernel]

U could blow up a whole skyscraper in battle field 4

[willow pawn]

Bad Company 2 is out of living memory 😭

[signal ermine]

That isn't like finals is my point, you can destroy every building in the finals they don't require weakpoints either.

And further more same devs that made that shit lmao.

[safe kernel]

Infact most of the battlefield games in history had mass destruction

[echo shuttle]

Its funny cause Ive heard that big devs from battlefield work on embark team now

[signal ermine]

Ok so you have battlefield, except if memory serves correct 2042 had no mapevolutions right? Like it had one out of all of its maps but that isn't like being able to charge yourself through the wall.

Yeah that is what I am saying pixel.

[safe kernel]

Probaly cause battlefield 2042 was azz

Worst battlefield made

Thats probably why they went to embark lol

[echo shuttle]

I think they worked on the team dice but they got bought out by some big name and some left and obviously are now at embark. Dont know exact numbers but that just seems to be the story

[signal ermine]

Those are the people who made that stuff, those map evolutions. But still my point stands, if we are quoting games that came out 10+ years ago as our "destruction in the video game" but it doesn't hold a candle to the current finals game. I have had more destruction in my last 3 matches of finals then I have had playing battlefield with the mapevolutions. Fun shit too.

Wasn't Embark made out of those devs lol.

[safe kernel]

Some of them yes

[signal ermine]

I mean they even show it off in their skins as well, with rank skin being the leopard print stuff that apparently dice people worked on before as a high ranking skin.

I am a total finals fan lol.

Anyways how is the game btw, like i know opinions might be a bit biased since I am in the server lol but is it a fun extraction shooter?

[echo shuttle]

I think they prob have some kind of time frame in mind since they have the exact date of release. They might mention it

[grand tinsel]

lmao dead game

[kindred vigil]

so true!! so true!! YES! So true! YESS!!! WOOOO!!

Marathon next test finna be release

[dusty dust]

Have you tried not hating for once. It might change your world

[terse epoch]

That is so not basketball of you bud

[kindred vigil]

No! I exist to hate on a random game discord for no reason!!

[dusty dust]

That's sad

But ok man you do you

[kindred vigil]

wait weren't u just hating on the alpha the entire time it was out tho

[dusty dust]

That's because it's bad

You should hate on bad things

[kindred vigil]

do u like arc raiders at least

[dusty dust]

It's better than marathon that's for sure. But it's just another extraction shooter slop

[echo shuttle]

I really like arc :) i miss scrappy

[kindred vigil]

so what do you like that recently came out

[safe kernel]

Did u even play the game or just ridding the hate

[kindred vigil]

do u like that expedition 33 game I keep seeing

[young saddle]

Any Marshall supporters in here

[dusty dust]

Honestly I haven't played expedition, I'll let you know once I do

[kindred vigil]

ok thanks

[dusty dust]

I've played the alpha yes

[ember crater]

Really need someone to create the cult of marshall

[terse epoch]

🏀

[safe kernel]

Where ur role then 🤨

[young saddle]

Just doing a Marshall role call real quick
Any believers

[dusty dust]

I've played final fantasy 7 rebirth recently it was fun

[kindred vigil]

I don't got a PS5 but I wanna play rebirth

[dusty dust]

Oh I didn't get a code personally but my friend did

[dusty dust]

I've played it on steam

[kindred vigil]

I definitely don't have a good enough PC to play any of the ff7 remakes but trust I will one day maybe

I've only heard good things about it

Well other than the yellow paint thing

[dusty dust]

Nice, I'm sure you can run remake at least its a PS4 game

[cunning walrus]

I just realized what this game is missing, and it's the elevator sounds from the OG trilogy.

[austere zodiac]

It’s really good if you like turn based

[spiral needle]

hj

[cunning walrus]

Playing Expedition 33 rn and it's fantastic so far.

[austere zodiac]

Nothing about ARC is slop

[summer crater]

ARC is pretty amazing

Just don't see anything besides the button on the roles page that I have checked in there

[safe kernel]

The alpha is over so its not available

[nova moss]

[wet herald]

no marathon alpha but at least we got a new doom shortly after

[heavy spade]

OK, I kind of figured but thought I'd ask about it just to see about signing up for a future one, no worries, thanks

[soft saddle]

im really excited for the beta :3

[cold stump]

rip and tear marathon 1v3

[nova moss]

1 v 3 means the enemy team can just keep reviving each other over and over for 100% health

[soft saddle]

yeah that needs a nerf

[kindred vigil]

yo

[cold stump]

bring on the gank ill take them all on

[soft saddle]

i wonder if making revived enemies one tap would be feasible to ensure they are only revived and healed out of harms way?

I hope bungie continues the trend of having their characters die in horrific ways in future cinematic

[tall pecan]

Hi people, sorry for interrupting, I'm quite new to this community and I'm still catching up with the story. I received this message shortly after joining last week. What is it for?

[kindred vigil]

That is old and for an arg that's over

[tall pecan]

Ohh I see, that's why no one was mentioning it, thanks

[round onyx]

solo only mode pls

[surreal nova]

You really want this hm?

[valid wind]

MOAN

[round onyx]

well yeah its the deciding factor for me if i buy it or not

[surreal nova]

It’s a common request. I hope they put it in there for ya’ll

Me, the fun of games like this is having an uproarious time with my boys / gals

[floral cipher]

unlikely

voidmaxxing was too strong during playtesting

[surreal nova]

Is this gen z slang

[floral cipher]

apparently everyone just played the invis chatacter

[formal seal]

ARC Raiders having a very successful test with solo only option may help to sharpen Bungie’s minds on that. Hopefully.

[round onyx]

real shit

[supple hound]

that is very hot

[wet herald]

very hot, thank you boss

[round onyx]

would love for them to ditch the stamina bar or make it more useable even dounle down and make the game more movemnt and ability based like apex seems weird u couldn't b hop in the alpha more ways for skill expression would be great

[surreal nova]

Bhopping definitely isn’t my preferred method of skill expression

Destiny has a great movement and strafe based skill ceiling

[safe kernel]

Bhopping isnt that annoying but lokey be annoying

Plus i feel with the strafing some characters have its not meant for every runner to be a movement demon

[wet herald]

I dont mind the heat system. It keeps the fights at a moderate pace, I love movement as much as the next guy but for an extraction shooter, there needs to be consequence for executing poorly in a fight.

[safe kernel]

Plus there is already upgrades and cores to increase the heat duration

[wet herald]

yup.

[safe kernel]

The game doesnt need to be ultra fast movement its an extraction shooter not cod

Ur not meant to slide bhop corners

[wet herald]

The players that manage their heat accordingly and have better fight/combat IQ will rise to the top. You shouldn't be able to go mach 5 speed around the corner like its quake or anything like that

[safe kernel]

Exactly

[round onyx]

it runs out to quick you cant really build momenttum with the current verssion witch defeats the purpose of having a system like that in game specialy having movemnt abilitys like glitch but have them being so slow and slugish seems weird to me why go the hero shooter route if all the classes move at the same speed thats when the classes u use have pros and cons the invis being the most used class just proves my point coz invis is always value the other classes not so much they seem to have it half baked atm weel attleast from my exp

[safe kernel]

Is this after upgrades and using heat boosting cores tho

[round onyx]

yes

[safe kernel]

Hmm

[wet herald]

I do think that some of the animations need better work, like much more smoothness when mantling and letting characters that can dash execute diagonal movements. From what ive seen people are just dashing in 1 cardinal direction, which looks eh to me.

[round onyx]

minumal difrent imo

[safe kernel]

Idk we will also see with the changes from alpha to beta stage

[round onyx]

why go the class system with difrent abilitys at all if u not gonna lean into that at the moment every char is the same and the abilitys out side of invis dont do much

[safe kernel]

Probaly needs a buff but idk if i want cod level movement to the point movement out plays shooting and tactics abilities

[wet herald]

We'll see what happens, I can only go by what I've seen. I had a friend invite me and I never got in so I cant judge the game that much, I have a sense of the feel from gameplay but not from my own

[safe kernel]

But then again i also dont have hands on experience either

[valid stone]

I would say it is kind of painful to watch; when watching my friend play he was just constantly running out of stamina and the stop and go of that was distracting and weird

I would rather have them lower run speed but always let people run

[round onyx]

bingo they have to double the stamina or remove it all together felt horrible

[wet herald]

Alot of the streamers were just burning out the meter. I think there should be a better recovery time for the meter if you arent burning it out. That would help drastically. People should be penalized for making bad decisions, thats the point of the genre after all

[round onyx]

there wasent enough everyone was buring out the meter when u play u will relize

[soft saddle]

stamina does feel a bit low regardless though

[valid stone]

Yeah, there are ways to fix it without getting rid of the system — that is primarily what I would support

[round onyx]

just 3 x it

[valid stone]

We’ll see on the 16th what they’ve come up with concerning it I guess. You’re not the only person to feel like the system isn’t quite right

[wet herald]

thats fair. But I did see quite a few players that were able to exploit other players that were burning it out, they played a bit slower and it worked for them. Im down for changes to the system, I just dont want it to turn into a animation canceling movement freakshow like COD.

[echo shuttle]

They hsould add mounts like horses so I can live my days galloping through the map 😭

[safe kernel]

Tf

[echo shuttle]

Dont hate on my dream

[safe kernel]

Go play rdr2

[echo shuttle]

nah i want it in marathon :3

it could be a robotic horse

[safe kernel]

The maps aint even that big tho

[round onyx]

its being burnt out coz theres not enought to traverse the map and build mometium sure there should be a down side but rewarding campers or people walking over someone trying to use the system in place seems like a terrible idea theres just not enough stamina to mange u kinda have to use it just to get to a to b unless u just want to walk everywere if it had even twice as much and people were still burning threw it like u are describing then sure

[safe kernel]

I would like to see one huge map

[echo shuttle]

perfect so people will know of my presence

[ancient root]

damn chat did i miss the alpha

[safe kernel]

By a long shot

[ancient root]

im cooked

Missing the alpha test is such a vibe

[molten vapor]

my weakness disgusts me, I must carry harder

[surreal nova]

Yes I definitely missed it, it wasn’t that I checked every single day and didn’t get a code. I was too cool to remember it.

[ancient root]

crucible 🤮

[safe kernel]

Naw its even worse when u got 17 kills in seige ranked just to lose the game

[valid stone]

I would check every day for a code. I’d forget to eat, drink, and defecate. I slept with my phone against my face with my spam folder open

[molten vapor]

I hope FenyxTigerZord sees this so he knows how dissapointing he is

[safe kernel]

Yea 4 kills is kinda ridiculous

[echo shuttle]

i never got a code

[safe kernel]

Neither did 99.8% of people in the discord

Beta better be soon or a open alpha would be better

[echo shuttle]

prob get a beta like a month or two before launch

[safe kernel]

Yes most likely they would benefit from two more tests instead of 1

Do a open alpha soon then a beta closer to launch the more feedback the better

[lime jungle]

lol

[safe kernel]

Dont make me do it

[stable cedar]

haiii

[rare berry]

🧐

[stable cedar]

Is it still possible to join/play the alpha?

[supple hound]

it ended on the 6th, announcement on the 16th of May, 1pm PT for whats next

[supple hound]

i hope beta much sooner but we will seeeeee

[stable cedar]

3 days! Exciting!

[echo shuttle]

I could be wrong but if from memory I believe just about every beta ive been in is usually close to launch like a month or two before. Its usually really similar to the final build

then again they could do two betas tho so that would change things

[supple hound]

holy shit youre not wrong, cries it literally felt so long away since being postponed last friday

[azure apex]

Sadly no code..

[warm heron]

I hope they take the time to digest the feedback from the surveys and start cooking even harder.
For an alpha the game felt great 😊

[supple hound]

living outside of the US and Canada, i just want to try it so bad

[echo shuttle]

Oooof

[echo shuttle]

New zealand?

[echo shuttle]

Well hopefully beta will be open to other regions fo4 ya

[supple hound]

yup yup, i really hope soooo

[wicked quarry]

wait a new beta drops in 3 days?

[supple hound]

no, just the annoucement for whats next

[regal scarab]

Folks, does anyone know what this bot message is? I assume it's a cipher for the ARG?

[echo shuttle]

Gimme it, I'll take care of it :3

[sullen ridge]

It's teasing the mpreg update

[indigo bolt]

aw man

shame on me

[supple hound]

from what i've heard, it was part of a decoding thing in the early stages of Marathon's announcement / this discord, but now its just a cool and unique thing to hold onto (there are DAC collectors that will try and steal it, dont send)

[shut merlin]

No one is here

Goodnight then

[nova moss]

durandal horse?????

durandal

[supple hound]

whens the alpha coming out?

[supple hound]

it ended on the 6th, announcement on the 16th of May, 1pm PT for whats next

[covert haven]

Bet they delay launch on the 16th

[tidal harness]

I'm anticipating a delay

[shut merlin]

Talking to yourself is it that bad 😭

[safe kernel]

Fr thats crazy

[unkempt parcel]

Where’s my alpha invite guys?

[elder rampart]

it ended

[cold spade]

so when are we getting boomer in marathon

[frail quail]

BombaClaaak

Rich Millioner

[glacial bane]

is there any chance in hell that i could perhaps maybe mayhaps get a code to the new iteration of the smash hit video game series marathon from the respected game development company bungie today?

[cold spade]

just play marathon 2

[glacial bane]

thanks

[lyric badger]

its diying

[supple hound]

AHAHAHEHuheu yeah am good

[sharp halo]

For me, one of my biggest anticipations for GTA 6's story, is how awesome it is to be in love with a woman like it was something that was really cool when I was growing up.

[last dirge]

you wont get a code ever

[magic rose]

[austere patio]

As a Runner, what would you say is the best way to start the day?

[hallow sigil]

Alpha was unfortunately kinda boring

Was fun for the first 2-3 days

[warped swallow]

hello guys, is there a way to play alpha test?

[magic tree]

rizzler

[next verge]

Alpha test is closed. Open beta will be closer to release.

[warped swallow]

ty

[sharp halo]

It's boring because you kept dying how about you get better at the game 😂🫵

[high lark]

I love deadlock

[next verge]

Deadlock do be quite sick. Tried a proper round or two of it finally that wasn't vs bots and had a fun time

[hallow sigil]

I rarely died

But arc raiders came out, and that game is infinitely more enjoyable

Marathon was okay

I cant show you my stats or anything unfortunately but id say i had around a 15kd against other players for the couple days i played

[random moon]

Yea arc raiders is more for pve players

[boreal plaza]

What? I've played all the playtests, including closed (under NDA) for Arc Raiders, also got 1500 hours in Tarkov and the PvP is what made Arc Raiders super fun

It's absolutely not a PvE game or for PvE players, it's just a well balanced PvPvE extraction shooter, just a shame it's 3rd person IMO

The flare mechanic and the lack of infinite revives make it much more intense than Marathon too, even though Marathon seems to be positioning itself as the more PvP focussed game

[hallow sigil]

Just because marathons pve is terrible, doesnt mean a game with far superior pve is for “pve players”

Arc raiders had more enjoyable pvp, and pve than marathon hahaga

[hallow sigil]

Agree about shame its 3rd person

Marathons gameplay just felt so lacking in stakes, the weapon modding system was also terrible and didnt change the weapons feel at all

[random moon]

nah not really arc raiders pvp was just kinda boring i do get what you mean tho with the infinite revives the pvp in marathon is very reliant on having good gear which was not easy to get

only bad thing about marathon is the ai just being annoying no difficult or anything its just kinda there to annoy you and the quest system is just not good at all

[hallow sigil]

I dont agree at all with your opinion about pvp being reliant on good gear

Id often kill people who had purple shield or whatever when i had only green

Maybe you just arent very good, im not sure

[random moon]

i didnt really die with gold or purple gear unless the other team had 3 blues and my randoms had like common and green

and the only way i got the gold and purple gear was from killing people so i get what you mean

[sinful sinew]

.

[last blade]

What? Boring? Did we play the same game

[vernal sonnet]

Arc Raiders listed in yesterday's Nvidia drivers, they just deleted all the tech tests channels on discord and folks started seeing ads in social medias. Are we about to get shadow dropped?

[hallow sigil]

The fact it’s listed in nvidia driver is for sure indicative of that

[stone cairn]

sup

[magic rose]

Ayo

[nova moss]

me running a marathon

[viscid plinth]

Gosh I wish they would get rid of shields and put damageable limbs in, and status effects other than "over heating".

[nova moss]

what if there was an oxygen timer

[magic rose]

Oxygen timer would of been fun

[viscid plinth]

Is that just the in game raid time or..?

[nova moss]

seems like a good enough lore reason for a raid timer than any

unlike tarkov where you go missing because

[viscid plinth]

So that wouldn't be a status effect then, I'm talking broken limbs, recovering deep vein lacerations, broken bones ect ect

That would just make the raid timer make sense :P

[magic rose]

We were supposed to have a oxygen timer in general at least was rumor

And you had to find oxygen tanks throughout the map to keep it up throughout the run

[viscid plinth]

...

[magic rose]

If I’m correct yes but then it got removed

[viscid plinth]

They really did just do an IP grab didn't they 😭

[austere zodiac]

They thought it would scare away the softies

[viscid plinth]

If the raid timer is the oxygen level, that makes sense, if it's a thing you have to then worry about in raid, I feel it's just artificial difficulty like cmon

Lmao get deleted

[hardy marsh]

quick question just curious, if you played the alpha (which i did) do you think the game will be good at release

[magic rose]

I was hyped for it 😂

[magic rose]

It wasn’t gonna be in raids at all

The oxygen system was the whole game, you had to find the tanks throughout the map till ur extracted out. At least from what i remember when it was coming out in articles

[wooden pendant]

so it was like when we had to find bubbles in destiny 2 in those underwater sections?

[magic rose]

I guess so? It was really poorly explained 😂

[harsh blade]

hi

[viscid plinth]

Yeah it could work tbh and it would make sense separate from the raid timer

[magic rose]

Probably, I liked the idea of the oxygen system but they removed it so.

[agile swan]

Prolly an open test

[vernal sonnet]

Open test into launch

[viscid plinth]

It would make sense if it was the raid timer and if you find O2 and it EXTENDS Raid time for that person/group that would be interesting

[magic rose]

I wouldn’t be open with the idea of extending raid times just because I want that thrill factor of everyone being on their toes

[agile swan]

I think they did that with the finals

[tender mulch]

anyone have a code Kappa

[viscid plinth]

tbh I agree, I get what you're saying now

[tender mulch]

yea i gto a code for you

[magic rose]

Realistic, I never would want the time extended unless it needed but rather people be faulted for not making it on time ngl

[tender mulch]

cool thanks

[green gazelle]

Doom broke my xboxs internal fan and pc drivers last night but its a solid game lots of fun

[true epoch]

ok now for real arc riders is trash

[green gazelle]

you’re just saying this because were all withdrawing

[true epoch]

we are*

[green gazelle]

we’re* dork

[wooden pendant]

on the bright side, helldivers 2 got an absolute unit of an update

[empty carbon]

both of you are right damn

[wooden pendant]

nuh uh

behold, the correct one

[austere zodiac]

I played it and 3p just made me miss ARC Raiders more

[wooden pendant]

tbh helldivers is prolly my favorite third person shooter, just feel-wise

it helps that it pretty much just copies MGSV, and that game is still like the ultiamte gold standard for 3ps

[austere zodiac]

Before ARC was probably Gears or Division

[wooden pendant]

arc's shooting is kinda floaty to me for some reason? especially comapred to division

iunno how to explain it

[austere zodiac]

Yeah it’s more real/physics based

[wooden pendant]

i mean tbf helldivers is pretty physics based too

[austere zodiac]

Well you have perfect aim in helldivers and patterned recoil

[wooden pendant]

i think they just need to tweak the camera shake or somthn

give it more punch

[austere zodiac]

lol

[last blade]

I think it’s perfect as is

🤌

[wooden pendant]

i mean i aint sayin it's bad

at least it's not as jank as rival's 3ps

[sick sphinx]

dead game?

[austere zodiac]

Yes devs gave up

[iron linden]

They all quit their jobs. Its Jover

[mental mango]

I do not believe you

[median jetty]

new helldivers update gonna go insane

[magic rose]

Hm

[median jetty]

did you make that? its so trippy i like it

[green gazelle]

The game died worse than Off the grid tbh

[median jetty]

ngl id love to see this as a loading screen

[gaunt solar]

before arc the game had chance. now it’s looks like: close development and lose some money or developing further to lose much more after

[mighty gulch]

when is this shit out

[magic rose]

Right though?

[pallid mural]

y'all still here

[empty carbon]

...yes?

[gaunt solar]

played new doom 4 hrs, resting

who played arc raiders?

[green gazelle]

Doom seized my xboxs internal fan and shot my 4060ti drivers great game tho

[heady crow]

how do i get the thing on my profile

[marble cave]

So, is this game like done alpha testing? And why do I see people calling it DoA and finished off by Arc Raiders? I didn’t particularly care for Arc so.

[green gazelle]

it was apart of a discord quest

[heady crow]

i wached the vid

what do i do now

[fathom quarry]

guys devs just told me marathon was cancelled 7 years ago and the alpha was just AI, GG

[green gazelle]

Marathon and arcs playtest were ran in similar times and people stopped playing marathon to play arc. The alpha was locked but it still lost players daily so any rational human would decide its going to die on release

[marble cave]

I mean that’s fair I suppose. Is t the release right around the corner or something? I haven’t watched gameplay or anything like that on Marathon so idk and didn’t get invited to the alpha so 🤣

[green gazelle]

yeah they have 4 months to get the tiptop shape and honestly it needs another year or two to figure out its identity it wants to be a pVpve battle royal so bad but it also wants to capitalize on Extraction shooters so for now its just the weird friend in the group that copies everyone else

[pearl radish]

is this official? new ARG? https://escapewillmakemegod.com/

[marble cave]

Lmao that do be fair.

I think it’s needs to focus up on the PvP with more players per lobby but hey. I’ve heard that some people ran into almost no teams playing some raids or whatever they want to call it and that the AI just isn’t fun to fight. So we shall see I guess?

[sick dagger]

Hey Bungie, Dеlаy оr Diе

[fiery trench]

Coming back for my daily I miss this game :/

[fiery trench]

I stopped playing arc to play marathon lol, arc is boring and pve simulator

[last blade]

So you played the tutorial and stopped lol

[fiery trench]

Nope played 4 matches and the game was nice to look at but not too play, third person just isn’t it and the PvP is super stale

I’ll say it again arc is for the older slower pace player base and marathon is for the more fast paced competitive player base

[agile swan]

Yea cos recent Nvidia drivers are garbage

[last blade]

Marathon isn’t fast paced at all.. it has the longer TTK of the two games and it takes 3 years to heal after a gunfight

[trim shuttle]

ARC was trash.

[hoary sedge]

find me fast paced short TTK game

[fiery trench]

Fights occur way more In a fast paced manner, healing being somewhat slow is beneficial or it would be too chaotic with how fast paced it already is, Sounds like you got dog walked most of your games so you’re upset about it.

[green gazelle]

same with widows 11 preview instals have been so buggy for both

[last blade]

CoD?

Halo and destiny both fast paced and short ttk as well

[hoary sedge]

fastest TTK cods are the slowest one

[fiery trench]

Lies lmao I play both

[magic rose]

Was about to say that

[last blade]

Maybe long TTK if you’re bad. 4 shots from a BR is a fast TTK

[agile swan]

Yea W11 driver search function is just Garbage

[agile swan]

Destiny ttk is pretty fast tho?

[fiery trench]

That’s the same ttk in marathon if you hit your shots lmao

[fiery trench]

.67 with meta weapons and if you hit shots in marathon you’re ttk is .8 soooo

[crimson sky]

how do i apply for play testing?

[last blade]

No because you have revives after death in marathon so actual TTK is way longer

[austere zodiac]

Which Games player base do you think is the most racist?

[magic rose]

Cod

[misty lotus]

YOU.

[fiery trench]

Bro that’s the dumbest argument lmao just get good revives is part of the game, same thing with trials if we’re being technical

[last blade]

DOTA

[misty lotus]

IM BUCKET. NOT YOU

[magic rose]

No doubt, cod legit the racist down to homophobic shit you can get on top of rainbow. So cod and rainbow can sit together 😭

[last blade]

Revives after death is a trash mechanic, if you die after being knocked you should be out

[austere zodiac]

I was 12 and heard a lot of words for the first time playing CoD Deathmatch

[green gazelle]

it wanted to pre install my nvidia drivers after using ddu it was pissing me off so bad i disabled my wifi and ethernet card windows 11 is malware i stg

[magic rose]

for me to was my grandfather then my dad let me play bo2 S and D then that where it all started

[green gazelle]

cause apparently game ready driver 160.1 is incompatible with the new 176.4 and they cannot be installed together but windows auto updates to 160.1

[dense hazel]

yo where is alpha-chat? or should i just wait?

[green gazelle]

only fix i found was downloading the driver to flash drive and disconnecting from the internet before deleting my drivers

[agile swan]

It does the same thing with AMD drivers..... Always overriding drivers for some people

[green gazelle]

i dont get why that literally bricks cards

[agile swan]

Bill gates prolly can explain that

I Shifted to Linux most of the time, unless a specific game I play has an anticheat that hates linux

[fiery trench]

Just say you’re bad

[queen yew]

🦃

[austere zodiac]

Or it should take some special action/utility/ritual

[last blade]

I’m not the one that needs teammates to revive me after I die lmao it’s a trash mechanic and makes solo unviable unless you use a character that can literally go invisible in an extraction shooter.. imagine

[alpine rivet]

Uh huh
