I don‘t mind them

[visual thistle]

lah do-do-do-do-do laah do-do-do-do-do

[ember warren]

bully

[burnt gate]

because if there is a meta everyone is playing the same abilities and thats boring

you only see the 2 or 3 good abilities and nothing else

[proud glade]

the meta is to lose

[kindred vigil]

wait I have a opinion on the meta that'll fix it are u ready

[burnt gate]

I don‘t mind the heros that much like other people

[ember warren]

kill 7 billion people

[kindred vigil]

Nerf everything to do 1 damage, easy, if everything sucks everything is also good but sucks but also is good

[visual thistle]

i got an idea to fix meta! make everyone bulletsponges

[burnt gate]

Lets see if they make gameplay test in EU too I‘m waiting for that

[kindred vigil]

The division method

[proud glade]

make everyone sponges

[kindred vigil]

[ember warren]

halo ce was gonna be marathon 4

[kindred vigil]

I knew this fact bud

[ember warren]

i didnt i just made it up

[kindred vigil]

no ur actually right

[ember warren]

[visual thistle]

yea man!

[kindred vigil]

Halo CE was originally gonna be connected to marathon

And Cortana was gonna be a durandal clone

[ember warren]

i mean it kinda is, same rocket launcher name and other parallels that i cant name cuz in dumb

[kindred vigil]

It was supposed to be a new cycle of the world marathon

[ember warren]

[kindred vigil]

Since Bungie games parallel each other, master chief is just the security officer from marathon in a different cycle

It was for 2 months unless you have nitro.

does nitro make all of them permanent?

[small ledge]

cant have anything nice with discord new thought process

well nothing strange since the CEO was from activition

Until you lose nitro

[brittle river]

what if you resub do you get them back

I think so, but not sure.

i’m more concerned about stolen art assets personally

[topaz comet]

game got delayed what more do u want ?

[still oasis]

i just mean in general

[topaz comet]

anti real probably got a big fat E transfer

oh i see... whens the last time a dev stole art like this?

[shy flame]

I'm a dev..im going to steal all of your art for my game "Running a Marathon in 2026 (2026)"

[fleet raft]

No its not. Even corrupted countries would gladly avoid WW3 at all costs, because they have that much more to lose.

[clever bluff]

Ww3 before gta 6

Actually this isnt the place for thie discussion

[ember mountain]

US just hit Iran and and they’re gonna retaliate and if they hit those oil fields it’s going to affect the world we depend on oil so much it’s going to slow down world trade it’s going to hit gas and food prices so hard over night

Iran is not Afghanistan it’s not Syria. It’s not Yemen They actually have a modernized military they’ve watched everything that’s been happening to other countries in the Middle East and Africa Gaddafi, Saddam,Thomas sankara and Asad

[fleet raft]

The U.S constantly screws with parts of the Middle East, or acts as a self-righteous peace keepers. In fact we never truly left The Middle East in terms of military. When you have both China and Russia trying to de-escalate the situation, as hilarious as that sounds, its a good sign that powerful countries do in fact want to continue to keep peace.

[ember mountain]

I guess I’ll have to get involved and end the war

[fleet raft]

And I dont think you realize how powerful the U.S Military is. Im not one to "glaze" our military, but in terms of technological superiority. Its hard to find a country on par with it

[fleet raft]

yes

[ember mountain]

Oh, I know it’s powerful

Iran could never beat the US It’s just not another Afghanistan

[shy flame]

Oh yeah its BRICK HECK time

[ivory fog]

Trump in Iran, doomed yaoi 💔

[fleet raft]

I see what you're saying. Their military is more modernized, and the country has much more connections tied to it. And yes, whatever Trumps cabinet is doing is confusing. One part is saying we won't get involved, another wanting them to strike Iran with their actions supporting this.

[ember mountain]

Yep he was actually supposed to strike them yesterday, but Vance delayed him

[fleet raft]

Vance actually being the voice of reason and person with the highest common sense? Not something you see everyday

[ember warren]

this is the craziest sentence ive seen about this conflict

[jade dagger]

I'm trying not to freak out about it so this is my humor on it

[pastel swift]

[low snow]

Is it because of the delay notice

[proud glade]

shaw hawn is going to be selling me things for preordering marathon?

[wet herald]

dunno why I still have it. I also dont understand why these frames arent permanent, seems lame.

[shy flame]

Unc truly has no gender. Calling me auntie as a white woman would be dubious.

[jade dagger]

o_o

[latent gyro]

My frame is still there

[brisk thistle]

it isn’t on my end

[trim summit]

go to bed

[rancid isle]

Nitro lets u keep limited time stuff like the frame

If u earned it

[nocturne plank]

The frame thing didn't even work on mobile even in the browser

Which is where they told you to go if on mobile

[minor pawn]

Anyone get an alpha code? 🫃

[bronze vigil]

https://youtu.be/UFAD7GA_CzE?si=qRWuESpriVXOXiDi 🫃

[celest lintel]

they can be permanent, but you have to have nitro and claim it as a permanent part of your discord inventory. i remember a popup asking if i want to keep it sometime after i originally claimed it. weird but 🤷‍♂️

[magic leaf]

politics is banable

[patent cypress]

is plagiarism banable too

[magic rose]

[magic rose]

I have no idea

[jade dagger]

[jade hazel]

Turns out I still have it too, thanks for this I thought it was gone

[magic rose]

super true

[jade hazel]

I didn’t want to theme my profile around it bc if it dissapeared I be left looking goofy

[magic rose]

whats up with all of people named !

[jade hazel]

Pretty sure random people do that to get their name at the top of the user list for no particular reason

Just a discord thing

[magic rose]

[rapid schooner]

i identify as a expeirmental grey

dont you wanna ask me how bigfoot is?

[candid spear]

Delayed response, but that came from the ARG event. People were trying to figure out the spy account iirc and they thought everyone changed their name to ! would help narrow it down

[magic rose]

how interesting. thanks!

[surreal nova]

Anyone that wasn’t in the original alpha get invited to the new one? Trying to figure out how hopeless my chances of playing this game are

[strange nova]

i have the same question

[next verge]

original reveal trailer had a focus on a mushroom

[jade dagger]

uwu

[surreal nova]

Emi Cat, will I finally make the perfect stir fry one day?

I look forward to parsing your next random message as a response. You’re like my magic 8 ball

[cloud gulch]

alright sooo, how are people getting the new alpha codes? is it only people who played in the first and in NA only again

[thorny tartan]

Young rich nida

[wild cave]

open-world mmo rpg shooter would be cool

[wet herald]

Nope. Dont really understand why they chose from the same group of people who got access last time but it seems like its an even smaller group of folks from the last test.

[glass breach]

Is it hard to give me an invitation code for bungie?

I think you want the game to reach a wider audience, and I think it's better to start by sending out a lot of invitation codes

[quick drum]

open early access for all

[glass breach]

open early access for all

This point of server electricity is not worth mentioning for promotion costs, and I suggest that the production team adopt it

I've got a lot of people around me who want to play it, but right now this kind of hunger marketing is very unfavorable

And now that the reviews have become bad because of the plagiarism incident, I think it's better to use the negative heat to increase the popularity, anyway, it's already like this

[hybrid seal]

Despite all the backlash marathon is it still gonna be released or are they gonna ditch the game?
And if they don’t ditch the game are they gonna change the style and art/aesthetic of the game due to the copyright allegations??

[final mauve]

They said already they are fixing the art to be more akin to the original with a darker atmosphere; there will be more news on a release date and development by Fall

[jade dagger]

:>

[final mauve]

The art issue should be assumed theyre trying to fix it or have already

[tame yacht]

Do you think there is still a chance the game will release this year?

[final mauve]

Most likely not, expect early spring, late winter 2026

[tame yacht]

yikes

[final mauve]

How is that a yikes?

It means theres more time for more tests, more feeback, and more time to add or change things that would benefit the game on a full release

The original date of Sept. 23 of this year, was ridiculous especially after only 1 test that was an Alpha build…

They were bound to delay and push back the release date inevitably, and we only recently got the news broken to us

[proven spade]

I can’t wait for this game!! I honestly can’t tell you guys how much I loved it.

[solid lagoon]

did anyone get a new alpha test invitation?

[final mauve]

I did too! Of course the alpha was an alpha, not the full game, but the core and what could be left me hopeful

[proven spade]

I can guarantee you all those who are complaining and are salty are the ones who didn’t get the alpha code

[final mauve]

That, or theyre blissfully unaware of the fact they played an unfinished version…of which it is said in the emails of that test

[still oasis]

art raiders

[tidal harness]

Or since most of us played Destiny for years and know where that is going tells us where this game will end up as well.

[quick drum]

Is game out yet?

[austere lark]

release date will come this fall per the announcement

[proven spade]

You’re too kind, their bunch of children who didn’t get what they want so instead, they will bash the game. There was nothing wrong with the alpha. The stuff they were complaining about was just so minor and silly.

[final mauve]

Don’t mistake my kindness for naivety or weakness. I agree, if youre going to give feedback give both positive and critical. The game wasn’t at its fullest, and some people misunderstood that as “unfinished game bad”

[wispy spindle]

It’s an alpha of course there’s things wrong with it? Acting like the alpha was perfect just because you don’t hate it is dumb. The point is that they wanted constructive feedback to improve it. It was an alpha.

[jade dagger]

oki~

[quick warren]

Did people lose access to the Marathon avatar decoration?

[quartz abyss]

ew

[tropic oak]

Delay releases are my favorite thing, it just means the game will come out 10x times better

[vocal moss]

Do you guys think Thief (or the other undisclosed runner) will be shown in the upcoming Closed Alpha?

[glossy ferry]

That's a good way at looking at it

[quartz abyss]

nuh uh no it dsnt

[carmine knot]

I prefer Raiders of the Lost Art or Grand Theft Arto

[eternal quest]

mif you dont have discord premium

I need alpha acess, need to see Glitch

[quartz abyss]

SUS

[oak elbow]

🤮🤢

[inner plover]

maaan...i missed the deadline the last day to provide feedback & im sad i probably not gunna get access to the next playtest 😦

[glacial bane]

what are y'all yappin about today then

[glossy ferry]

you never know you still might

so i would not lose hope yet

[inner plover]

im still in a ps group of a bunch of us who played together & they got their emails few days ago...i just have a bad feeling i wont because i missed that last feedback survey but i guess you're right

[glossy ferry]

like i lowkey even forgot to sign up for the closed alpha but i have not lost hope so just try to keep a good mindset

[inner plover]

was there another sign up? like after the first one that has already happened?

[glossy ferry]

tbh i dont even know

[inner plover]

well if i get access again id be happy to, had a blast playing it last time, i played right till they kicked us off the server lol

[glossy ferry]

tbh i just hope i can play the game lol

[inner plover]

yeah i dont blame ya, it was a blast for me but that defs wasnt the popular opinion

[tired surge]

Do people gotta sign up again for any of this?

[inner plover]

i dont think so, i believe they're just inviting previous players

and amongst my group alot of them that did all the surveys got emails

[tired surge]

ssssssiiiicckkkk

🙄

[glossy ferry]

from the gameplay i have seen of the game i feal like i would enjoy playing it

[pallid shoal]

I want an alpha code. I'm waiting for my alpha code

[inner plover]

im not 100% sure, its speculation on our part but thats what we've noticed...seems to be alot smaller & possibly just checking things like visuals & other changes

[crisp stag]

this new Destiny 2 DLC seems epic

[wooden fjord]

It was the popular opinion for everyone that actually played

[inner plover]

aha thats fair, i did meet a few people who preferred the other game, i played both but & much more enjoyed marathon

[gleaming sundial]

I played it. It was far from a blast. It was a fine game but nothing stood out and it felt very shallow.

There was no tension. Fighting AI bots all felt the same. PVP was okay-ish. Loot was uninspired and boring. Progression was held back by only being able to complete one mission at a time.

They tried to throw too many things into the game and as a result it didn't excel in any area. It's like apex meets tarkov meets destiny 2 meets dmz

With that being said given time and making the right decisions they could make a great game

[glacial bane]

what should they focus on in your opinion

[final mauve]

Make the world feel grittier and incorporate story better; larger loot pools and density in and outside of containers; and making solo or duo play viable…those are the same points they said they’d work on, and the same points i mentioned months ago in my surveys

[gleaming sundial]

scrap the hero system and let you customize your shell from a preset pool of different skills/passives

rework the black market system to make it feel rewarding and less like a random store screen of inventory

add some factions that provide different loot(tarkov trader system)

[final mauve]

Keep heros because theyre a lot more balanced and we dont fall for the destiny 2 guardian metas

[hot dragon]

So is this game officially dead?

[glacial bane]

thats a lot of things. if they had to nail only one thing really good. what would that need to be

[gleaming sundial]

the heros aren't balanced

[final mauve]

But allow for customization like halo 3/reach

[gleaming sundial]

make the game fun to play, lmao.

[final mauve]

The only 1 thing imbalanced i saw was void. His invis shouldve been his ult

[jade dagger]

Emm..

[gleaming sundial]

i just didn't have a great time playing it because it was so sterile and there were no stakes

[final mauve]

And his invis shouldve functioned like halo reach’s invis

[glacial bane]

be more specific if you can

[final mauve]

To make it…stealthy…and perhaps instead of a smoke bomb, make it a silent tread mode or a hologram

[gleaming sundial]

90% of the loot was just a placeholder for currency. that feels bad

finding bigger backpacks was harder than finding gun upgrades

[final mauve]

It was an Alpha and they even stated it was not a reflection of the game at its fullest

[hot dragon]

So this game died on beta arrival is the word?

[gleaming sundial]

you had no way to testing gun upgrades and if you swapped them out you lost the one that was previously slotted into the gun. that feels terrible

[final mauve]

It is not dead, it hasnt even come out yet

[final mauve]

This is dislike, losing your upgrades is dumb for guns but its allowed to be swapped on characters

[gleaming sundial]

i'm going off my experience in the alpha and this is the only thing i can speak to. stop trying to drop in hypothetical maybies when the game launches

[hot dragon]

Is halted indefinitely….. sounds dead to me 😆

[final mauve]

Its halted indefinitely and more news and a date may come in fall

The latest they can release it is early spring/late winter of 2026

The game isnt “halted”, there is simply no official release date currently. Many games can and do go on a TBD status but are still worked on, yet those games arent called “dead games”

Stop cherry picking reasons to hate a game you not only didnt play, but also isnt even fully out yet

[hot dragon]

Last time I heard indefinitely from any game maker, it never came out….

[final mauve]

Arc Raiders was meant to come out in 2022, it is now 2025…

[gleaming sundial]

they never said they were delaying indefinitaely, and we have a release date now

at the end of the day Bungie is trying to make an AAA game in a genre that is very divisive

it will always be too hardcore for casual gamers and not hardcore enough for existing extraction shooter fans

[hot dragon]

It’s in the recent article “indefinitely “

[pallid shoal]

did bungie say indefinitely or was that tassi? that word is not in the update

[wooden fjord]

Bungie said they will give an updated release date in a future update

[pallid shoal]

ok we're just making stuff up

business as usual

[wooden fjord]

They probably want to take time to accurately assess everything and give a good estimate instead of delaying the game multiple times

[final mauve]

Sept. 23rd was also an unrealistic date with only 1 test done, and an Alpha at that.

It was bound to happen

[hot dragon]

Destiny only had 1 beta…

[gleaming sundial]

I mean they expected people to love the alpha and it blew up in their face because time and time again Bungie proves they are arrogant and out of touch with their fanbase.

Just look at Destiny 2 in it's current state.

[wooden fjord]

Are you 67? What's up with all the ellipses

[hot dragon]

D2 is amazing and Edge of Fate is gonna pop

[sour cairn]

destiny 1 had a closed alpha and an open beta, but it was also much further along than marathon was for its alpha period

[gleaming sundial]

If they release late winter/early spring they are up against Tarkov 1.0 and shortly after GTA 6

[scenic meteor]

why is the top trending Gif a stealth bomber

[pallid shoal]

oh no tarkov 1.0

[gleaming sundial]

That's their direct competitor.

[mossy barn]

If they release it anywhere near gta they are done for 💀💀💀💀💀

[gleaming sundial]

Agreed.

[hot dragon]

But yes they are out of touch with their fanbase. Look at the X kid ban for having his character shader white……

[mossy barn]

You do know tarkov is like THE extraction shooter so yes they shouldn’t try to release near it

[wooden fjord]

Implying Tarkov 1.0 is even going to release on time

[gleaming sundial]

Yeah I mean Tarkov is my main game. Why would I play Marathon over Tarkov? The extraction shooter community is small enough as it is.

[pallid shoal]

wow a 1.0 of a game everyone who has any interest in has probably already played a thousand hours of

[wooden fjord]

They've been hyping that up for years

[hot dragon]

Tarkov releasing update 101 heard that’s gonna cook

[scenic meteor]

if we being honest the people that wanna play tarkov are already playing tarkov lmao 1.0 aint gonna have a massive player count jump

[mossy barn]

Nah you right fr

[gleaming sundial]

If Marathon is going to survive they have to come up with a way to pull Tarkov fans in.

[wooden fjord]

I'll probably play it for a bit to check it out, but unless they fix the rampant cheating and dozens of game-breaking bugs that have existed for many, many years I'd rather just play Marathon

[pallid shoal]

i can't wait until they finally launch this game anyone could have played for years already

[mossy barn]

Tbh we’ve never played Tarkov

[hot dragon]

Scoob did u see the update looks insane

[gleaming sundial]

Marathon will have just as many cheaters.

[wooden fjord]

Weird baseless assumption but okay

[gleaming sundial]

Baseless?

Every online FPS has a rampant cheating problem.

[hot dragon]

Baseless? 😆

[gleaming sundial]

Especially so in extraction shooters where the stakes are higher.

[wooden fjord]

Not as bad as Tarkov, and there's no player market in Marathon so RMT isn't as much as a driving factor

[hot dragon]

Anyone play Tarkov in this chat?

[gleaming sundial]

Tell me you don't understand RMT without telling me you don't understand RMT

[gleaming sundial]

2600 hours, prestige 1 level 63

[hot dragon]

I don’t understand RMT

[wooden fjord]

Oh okay you're just a kid

[gleaming sundial]

You don't use the flea market for RMT.

You join in a party with RMT seller and they drop you the stuff and use their cheats to clear the way to safe exfil. Or you just buy account already loaded down with stuff.

[mossy barn]

Bro is on Tarkov rn 💀💀💀

[hot dragon]

Registered Massage Therapist

[scenic meteor]

you not lying holy shit 😭

[gleaming sundial]

I've played it for several years. Nothing else comes close to Tarkov in the extraction shooter space. Even with all its flaws.

[vocal moss]

What in the name of sweet liberty is this bullshit

[mossy barn]

I lowkey can’t play an extraction shooter. I put in pain for my gear to lose it to a random little Timmy

[scenic meteor]

not the paypal rewards

[gleaming sundial]

Then why play Marathon? It's the same stuff.

[hot dragon]

How’d u get that RUNR next to name

[gleaming sundial]

After you figure out Tarkov it's so easy to make money that losing gear really isn't an issue.

[mossy barn]

I lowkey just wanted to play the beta to see if I fw but they didn’t invite me so I might not play it after all

[weak falcon]

Its from a fan server

[vocal moss]

If you want to try again, Delta Force is good starting point
They give you free “Gear Tickets” that give you a shitty loadout but regenerate once per day

[jade hazel]

lowk the fan server got a better tag than the real server

[gleaming sundial]

Delta Force is good

Some of my friends who aren't extraction shooter fans actually enjoyed it.

[weak falcon]

I think they got it first lol

[vocal moss]

@tepid bane’s fan server

[weak falcon]

Unless servers can copy

[gleaming sundial]

Tarkov has the same system pretty much though. Player scavs.

[scenic meteor]

delta force as an extraction shooter is shit but view it as just a shooter is aight

[gleaming sundial]

You load into the raid 15 minutes after everyone else and can loot whatever you find.

[vocal moss]

It’s not terrible
Nothing special? Definitely. But solid.
The BF2042 of extraction shooters.

[gleaming sundial]

I've heard that Activision is going to do a standalone DMZ which honestly if they just refined what they released as the warzone add on it would have a lot of potential.

[hot dragon]

Can’t play Tarkov on console, hence marathon gets 100k player base

[gleaming sundial]

me and my friends had so much fun with OG DMZ riding around in a LTV doing missions and fighting other squads

[scenic meteor]

this is reality literally no other extraction game on console that is goodd

[vocal moss]

Delta Force is supposed to get a console release, but anyone who’s been actually following it knows it isn’t happening

[gleaming sundial]

Hell you can barely play Tarkov on an entry level PC lmao.

[mossy barn]

I tried DMZ I couldn’t even play for 15 minutes I turned it off

[gleaming sundial]

It's so poorly optimized.

[dreamy crow]

damn bro. this is my goal for my new job

[hot dragon]

True

[vocal moss]

Exoborne is also supposed to come to console, but none of their playtests have been on console yet

[lavish osprey]

how do we sign up for closed testing codes

[gleaming sundial]

so far they are only inviting ppl who played the alpha

[scenic meteor]

tarkov would be dropping hall of fame numbers if they release on console in a decent amount of time but that is a pipe dream

[gleaming sundial]

i still haven't gotten a code for the next test

[vocal moss]

“Donate” money to Bungie

[dreamy crow]

didnt tarkov just finally made it to version 1.0? or is that a dream?

[gleaming sundial]

Never going to happen most likely. Plus trying to play on a controller would be a nightmare with how complex the systems are.

[hot dragon]

They got a base I don’t get why they don’t push for console

[vocal moss]

I’ve seen people say that they play on controller
But from what I’ve heard it’s systems and code are such a piece of shit they have bigger issues

[hot dragon]

Few months

[pallid shoal]

i'm so fascinated how much tarkov fans are consumed by it. there's some real incredible delusion going on. i guess gambling addiction just without real money?

[gleaming sundial]

The wipe after next will be 1.0. most likely december

[gleaming sundial]

You are fascinated by how different people can find things enjoyable and their worldview isn't the same as yours?

[vocal moss]

Everyone should share my view
Duh

[dreamy crow]

at least its happening. star citizen is a prototype 🫡

[scenic meteor]

i know a handful of people that play tarkov on controller on pc so its 100% doable but tarkov is so bad with optimisation an outside team would need to come in and handle the console port of the game

[pallid shoal]

according to dev stories that's how marathon even got started: chris barrett got obsessed with tarkov and got an opportunity to start his own

[hot dragon]

No, my view 🤪

[vocal moss]

Extraction Shooters are literally just gambling
Brought to you by gambling! Gambling: you can’t spell “degenerate” without “great!”

[vocal moss]

Nuh uh
I’m always right

[gleaming sundial]

For all of its flaws there’s nothing like Tarkov on the market.

[echo shuttle]

Very true

[hot dragon]

So you’re a woman? 😆

[vocal moss]

ABI

[gleaming sundial]

Not even close.

[vocal moss]

I’m sorry what now

[gleaming sundial]

ABI has insane p2w mechanics. You can buy in game currency with irl dollars.

[hot dragon]

U said u were always right

[vocal moss]

I feel like I’m not picking up what you’re putting down

[gleaming sundial]

And the economy in that game is balanced around getting people to buy in game currency because it’s a mobile gacha game port.

[scenic meteor]

wrap it up bro doesnt talk to women 😔

[echo shuttle]

If tarkov had less cheaters and better optimization, it would be crazy. Maybe better ai but the main points being fixed would make tarkov so so good

[vocal moss]

Yeah I’ve heard some… interesting stories
Game looks basically the same as Tarkov though (because it’s your average Chinese clone)

[dreamy crow]

no love for forever winter?😭

[pallid shoal]

gambling to some extent is always in games unless they're explicitly deterministic from top down. shuffling cards etc. but the way people talk about about extraction games and are so so sure tarkov could take over the world no matter how many other extraction games release but don't take off, it's really specific and consistent

[vocal moss]

I feel insulted

[pallid shoal]

even before tarkov was released i had friends ranting about it

[gleaming sundial]

They have had several releases this year and the AI is in the best place I’ve seen in the 3 years I’ve played.

Cheaters are always going to be a problem unfortunately. Just like with all popular online games.

[hot dragon]

lol

[gleaming sundial]

Hopefully the dev community as a whole can figure out a solution there.

[scenic meteor]

how would we feel about a medic bag and reviving down team members in tarkov?

[vocal moss]

Smells like Battlefield

[echo shuttle]

Ew

I like tarkovs death system as is. You get shot and die then you die

[gleaming sundial]

It would only make sense if they were downed from thorax or arm/leg damage.

[scenic meteor]

maybe make it a pen and just "wake up" ur teamate and leave all their limbs black?

[gleaming sundial]

Even then I don’t love the idea.

[echo shuttle]

I personally would hate it

[gleaming sundial]

If I shoot someone through the chest with 5 7.62 rounds they shouldn’t be able to get up and finish the raid lol.

[echo shuttle]

Tbh I feel like not much gameplay stuff needs to change in tarkov. They just need to double down on optimization

[dreamy crow]

if they are human you mean

[vocal moss]

Game Logic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic meteor]

i just dislike the squad play in tarkov a bit when your teamate dies you either hide their loot or take something out for them if you win the fight, and there isnt a spectate system so if you die early raid you just gotta play with your toes while you wait

[vocal moss]

Imo I don’t hate downing people, but the people I downed having self-revive kits and crawling is really annoying

[echo shuttle]

My homies play with screen share so ig I never had that problem but I can see it but im usually gearing up for the next raid when im dead

[mortal sequoia]

tarkov?

[echo shuttle]

Seeing someone revive a person you killed is imo so annoying in games. Its fine in some games but imagine hitting a crazy snipe on someone just for them to get rezzed :/

Would also like to see more endgame quests to go for like kappa. I've gotten kappa twice but after that, I personally didnt care for anything else. Maybe a few lighthouse quests but nothing like, "let's gooooo kappa!!!!" So more meaningful big quests similar to kappa

[scenic meteor]

thats true it would be cool if they introduce a legendary esc weapon through long questing

[gleaming sundial]

Run a quick factory scav while you wait. Eventually you stop caring about your squads gear once everyone has plenty of shit.

[echo shuttle]

Honestly not sure what those would be but im sure someone can figure it out.

[paper sandal]

Hell no. Leave that kind of mechanic for arcade shooters. Tarkov is too based on realism for that.

[gleaming sundial]

1.0 launch will have the actual main story quest.

[echo shuttle]

I cant wait to see new map terminal

[gleaming sundial]

The loop now is to hit prestige levels because a percentage of your skills carry over to each prestige.

I’m waiting to hit prestige 2 button closer to wipe. I already did everything I need to go ahead and do it.

[echo shuttle]

Yeah imma be real, im not doing prestige lol. Saw they added it this wipe ans didnt interest me at all

[gleaming sundial]

Getting kappa twice in the same wipe kept me plenty busy. I took a few weeks off now I’m working on Lightkeeper.

Currently time gated to do the transponder task. Gotta wait till tomorrow. I did my 15 lighthouse kills yesterday afternoon.

[gleaming sundial]

Prestige is a lot of fun. Starting over again two months into the wipe with a bunch of bitcoin and samples stims that I brought over was a nice challenge.

[echo shuttle]

I like tarkov but that is very main game only play tarkov type stuff. I dont only play tarkov so won't ever do that

[scenic meteor]

i would even say majority of tarkov players never get kappa

[gleaming sundial]

I mean hell I’ve taken breaks to play yakuza infinite wealth, doom tda, project warlock, ect.

[echo shuttle]

But I mean hey its the perfect system for people who LOVE tarkov

[dreamy crow]

you even playing it rn. 2k hours my friend you need an intervention

[echo shuttle]

Yeah tbh a small amount of people get kappa really to even participate in prestige

[gleaming sundial]

2K hours in 3 years isn’t that crazy.

[dreamy crow]

damn you played every nook and cranny

i only have 1k on cs

[scenic meteor]

it aint he hating but majority of people arent commited to a single wipe long enough to be able to prestige

[gleaming sundial]

A lot of that time is measured in hideout doing crafts and stuff as well

[burnt gate]

do we have any informations about EU Betas or keys?

[gleaming sundial]

This is a big problem with Tarkov where start of the wipe has a ton of players then the more casual folks burn out

I think they can fix this be redesigning some of the more tedious tasks.

[burnt gate]

🥲

[gleaming sundial]

Too many bolt action kill tasks. Get rid of Tarkov shooter chain or shooter born. Just keep one and get rid of the other.

[echo shuttle]

Yeah it falls off pretty hard. Its bound to happen tho but it can help to change things

[dreamy crow]

i couldnt commit to tarkov because i had no friends to play with burnt me out in my 20th hr😂

[echo shuttle]

Oh yeah playing tarkov alone is boring to me. I got a group that plays

[dreamy crow]

solos can be doable but it feels bleak. i dont know how to explain it. but yea boring fits the sentiment.

[echo shuttle]

We dont even queue together all the time but having other people playing at the same time helps too

[stuck aurora]

How are you all friendless

Making friends ain't that hard just engage with the community

[echo shuttle]

Solos is fine but every game is more fun with friend

[dreamy crow]

all my homies are artsy i guess

[stuck aurora]

Get better homies

[dreamy crow]

i have a better chance of inviting them to play helldivers then other games. i guess commitment is hard these times

[paper sandal]

Even helldivers is a 30-45 minute commitment every time

[pallid shoal]

i feel that. free time is precious, it's harder to commit to a game that's going to need a huge investment to begin having fun especially when it needs to be coordinated with other people

[dreamy crow]

most of us are young parents in our 20-30s i think anything under an hr is a blessing

[pallid shoal]

unless you've already got folks who you do exactly that with all the time, then it's already a routine

[paper sandal]

I'm weird then, I can scav into tarkov and just be happy picking up small loot

[wooden fjord]

What kind of art are they into?

[rancid lichen]

is Marathon going to be game of the decade?

[dreamy crow]

everything. impressionism, surrealism, food with all the isms

[rancid lichen]

Marathon looks like the first good game in 5+ years idk why people cry all the time

[proven kernel]

Right now my current video game sessions are 30 minute Doom spurts. Only got 4 more chapters to go. (Not a parent tho)

[pallid shoal]

ya having real responsibilities makes dumping a thousand hours into getting shot in the face for a hand full of pop can tabs a lot less attractive

[dreamy crow]

i always expected doom to be around 2 hrs sessions. damn i remember eternal had my eyes burned out for 20 minutes. i cant blink. im not ready

[proven spade]

Umm.. what? Who said the game was perfect? I gave my feedback to the team, and to me it was mostly great. I had very little complaints about it. You guys are so sensitive in this space… yikes.

This is not ARC, Halo, nor Destiny ppl. I truly enjoyed the game for what it is. Everyone has their own opinion , idk why you guys are having such a hard time seeing someone who actually enjoyed the game.

[austere osprey]

Hello I would love an NDA Alpha code.
Any way I could get one? I was in the first alpha and I sent very good honest feedback.

[pallid shoal]

you're still in the pool for the new tests if you signed up before, especially if you played the April alpha.

[proven spade]

Yes, there was flaws but to me, they were so minuscule

[austere osprey]

Nearly everyone I played with has gotten a new email so I wasn’t sure if I did something wrong

[pallid shoal]

It looks like they're just doing much smaller groups for much shorter tests. Few details are available.

[echo shuttle]

its a shame that they arnt introducing new people :(

[wispy spindle]

“There was nothing wrong with the alpha”

[proven spade]

Like I said, you guys need a pacifier

[pallid shoal]

There was something wrong with the alpha: I wasn't playing it!!

[wispy spindle]

There was lots of things wrong, that’s why it was an alpha and not full release

[sweet vector]

yea maybe if they let me in the alpha the game wouldnt have flopped already

[pallid shoal]

what if an alpha build is perfect but incomplete? would adding the new content make it imperfect?

[glossy ferry]

This is true

[wispy spindle]

Well it wouldn’t be a Bungie game for one

[sweet vector]

tarkov is in a not amazing state and is still 10x better than whatever tf bungie is shitting out

[scenic meteor]

To be fair the alpha saved the game imagine the art shit coming out before the game was gonna be released

[wispy spindle]

We’re just using different definitions of flaws/something wrong then.

[light heron]

this game fire or what

[wispy spindle]

It will be one day

[light heron]

or is it wack

[echo shuttle]

Yeah woulda been tough if the game came out with the art stuff

[sweet vector]

marathon is gonna have momentum for about a month before losing 70 of the playerbase and getting little to no support

[light heron]

What that mean lol

[proven spade]

Yes, of course there was content missing because it was an alpha, but what I’m saying is, what they allowed us to play was good for an alpha

[sweet vector]

the loot was ass

[scenic meteor]

It would’ve made the game dead on release actually but now it has a chance to fix those mistakes a hopefully have a strong release 2026

[wispy spindle]

One day they will fix things and it will be fire

[scenic meteor]

People said the same about Concord 😭

[dreamy crow]

people even bury games before they even see the light of day

[tame nacelle]

Denizen of the blt

[dreamy crow]

but i do admit concords one chance could have been making it f2p .regardless the formula for the time was a tired one and only marvel could do it

f2p is just not safe either. imagine investing millions to make less and no growth

[echo shuttle]

yeah wasnt it like 40 bucks for a hero shooter competitive game? Thats mad high for that genre no?

not saying there wasnt other problems but $40 bucks for that genre is wild

are there other games that are $40 bucks while being competitive shooter? Maybe there is another idk

ig cod but lul

[dreamy crow]

none

[scenic meteor]

Overwatch was 40 or 60 initially back in the day

[dreamy crow]

cod gets away with too much lol

[echo shuttle]

atleast ow was peak but honestly dont remember the price

[vocal moss]

Overwatch was full-priced I believe, but that was 8 years earlier

[dreamy crow]

it was 60 if i recall

that was the standard price back then

[echo shuttle]

yeah ig not very many games with that genre yet compared to now

[deep niche]

Hero shooter is the biggest part I dislike so far. Coming from destiny 2 and having a personal character to a preset hero is a strange shift

[echo shuttle]

idk but concord should not have been 40 lol

[dreamy crow]

40 sometimes is even a hard price to attract

[scenic meteor]

They definitely based their price off original overwatch which was a massive mistake considering overwatch 2 is free nowadays and marvel rivals was coming known to be free

[dreamy crow]

29.99 would be a happy medium but it all depends on how much they are expecting

[scenic meteor]

The gameplay wasn’t horrible but the pricing and in a world full of cosmetics the look of a character is everything nobody wants to look like ass

[vocal moss]

Grok will tell me that the price of OW was determined by the white genocide in South Africa 🤣

Then again, ChatGPT would click on the first Reddit post that it sees

[mortal sequoia]

Is it politics hour?:D

[dreamy crow]

i wonder how many players overwatch 2 has these days. but the steamdb data is not reliable for it

[vocal moss]

[Summons Twitter bots]

[deep niche]

Mechanics aside, the visual of 'Blackbird' being locked to a female character lowers immersion. I'm okay with locked 'skill kits' if we could at least pick male or female

[vocal moss]

I don’t get why we can’t have basic character customization like that
Or even basic features like Void’s hood up/down

[dreamy warren]

🪱

[tardy prairie]

so this game is dead dead

[dense goblet]

0 players online, it sure is

[austere zodiac]

😭

[proven spade]

I loved the gunplay 💯

[dreamy warren]

Chat can we agree vampires are dorky ah

[minor edge]

I miss the chaos here. No other server offered worm burgers 😞

[dreamy warren]

In one of the trailers I seen they were talking about how innovative and crazy the gunplay was... As they showed some of the most boring scripted footage ever

[frank urchin]

Bungie always delivers good gunplay

[grizzled summit]

Im so excited

[dreamy warren]

Because you have a block in your hands that shoots really bright bullets?

[frank urchin]

???

[grizzled summit]

What about my uncle, did u give him a chance?

[minor edge]

What about a 5 foot 10, slim vampire chick with a slightly high pitched Slavic accent, with double Ds and more thighs than you could ever handle?

[dreamy warren]

https://youtu.be/ZvJIQoWIQP8?si=hzbwTPgqqnUV9d8i

3:36

[dreamy warren]

That's not a vampire tho that's a goth woman

[proven kernel]

That’s… oddly specific.

[frank urchin]

What about this YouTube video?

[minor edge]

Take all of that, but she's a vampire too. Now what? 🤨

[dreamy warren]

Eh 🥀

[minor edge]

Will you fold or leave her in the cold?

[dreamy warren]

Yap yap "I have to suck blood to live" yap yap

I don't even want to know how many diseases she has drinking people's blood

[dreamy warren]

But the cold won't be a problem? Vampires are undead 🤨

[minor edge]

Zombies*

[wispy spindle]

A human sized mosquito, no thanks

[dreamy warren]

The trailer that shows the absolute dookie gunplay

Literally.

[dreamy warren]

Zombies, skeletons, vampires, mummys... Theres a whole list of undead

[minor edge]

What if she only drinks animal blood, or has immunity to human diseases?

[frank urchin]

Lol did you play it?

[dreamy warren]

I've played halo and destiny

Both had bad gunplay

[dreamy warren]

Animal blood still carries disease

[frank urchin]

I don't know what to tell you man. Some sci fi shooters have bright bullets coming out of guns.

[modest tendon]

Lmao

[minor edge]

I don't think vamps count as undead.

[wispy spindle]

Yes they do

[frank urchin]

Ahh OK. Now I know not to take you seriously.

[dreamy warren]

Most mediums they're undead.... That's like... Why silver is their weakness... And they don't like... Die of old age

[minor edge]

Lemme text my vampire friend rn and ask

[dreamy warren]

💀 I've seen the equivalent of their gunplay in Lego games

Unironically star wars games have better gunplay

[frank urchin]

Lol k

[dreamy warren]

🥀

[minor edge]

Ok you guys are correct.

[dreamy warren]

Guns feel like they have no weight to them. Only weapons I use in destiny are hand cannons and glaives

[minor edge]

But then that means they can't carry diseases

[dreamy warren]

They can still carry bacteria it just can't give them the disease. But if she has all this nice yummy bacteria in her mouth and you kiss her now you have those diseases

Unless you're signing up to be her blood bag but that's a whole other problem

[frank urchin]

"Gun play feels like ass but but I play the pew pew game anyway" 😂

[minor edge]

We need a vampiretologist

[dreamy warren]

Just cus I don't like one aspect of the game doesn't mean I'm barred from playing it?

I hate the set up phase for risk but it's still my favorite boardgame?

Although playing destiny would be a bit of a stretch since I've only played crucible and a little bit of Gambit for like the last 2 years on the off chance I DO get on destiny

[scenic meteor]

destinys meta was its main problem the gunplay was decent when all weapon types were viable imo

[dreamy warren]

Hand cannons make me feel like Hellboy and actually have weight behind most of them unlike the 80% of the guns in destiny

[dreamy crow]

is this vampire allergic to garlic?

[frank urchin]

Is that a question or a statement?

It's like saying, I like playing Gran Turismo but I hate the driving part.

[dreamy warren]

Other than that I played solar warlock because I mean... Well I can have a big sick flaming sword like what? IDC if well is better

[minor edge]

She's a vampire so probably

Can't eat garlic bread with her unfortunately

[dreamy warren]

That's a statement. And no it is not the same

[scenic meteor]

well is actually bad in pvp

[dreamy crow]

im living with one already it seems

[gleaming sundial]

Whoever was wondering earlier. I just checked my achievements in Tarkov

[dreamy warren]

My buddy who's been glazing destiny for forever complains when I don't pop it for him 🥀

[gleaming sundial]

Only 1% of players have gotten the Kappa achievement. Only 0.3% of players have hit prestige 1

[jade swan]

hey, is the beta signup closed

[minor edge]

Is she a baddie, and if so can I have her number? For vampiric research of course.

[dreamy warren]

Why would I ever care about kappa 🥀

I get a few quests to buy things and then the rest of the time I just kill people and take their stuff

[wispy spindle]

No just type /beta until they let you in

[jade swan]

hmm, seems sus. In which chat?

[scenic meteor]

he wanted you to crutch him then cause you can easily wipe a team with flaming sword ult and well your just stuck in a point and can get 1tapped by snipers and shotguns lmaoo

[wispy spindle]

This one

[jade swan]

/beta

[dreamy warren]

It's also cus he wants me to play pve but like... It's the same thing as when d2 dropped forever ago but with new paint over the landscape

[gleaming sundial]

Someone was asking how many ppl they thought actually get it.

[dreamy crow]

sorry im already imprinted. 4 type o negative shirts and 10 month creation

[jade swan]

welp, nothing happened. but thanks for the effort xD

[jade dagger]

(・・ )

[gleaming sundial]

and everyone has different goals in games man, not everyone is like you. i like getting kappa because it's a challenge.

[dreamy warren]

I just want an extraction shooter so I can kill people and steal their stuff 🥀

[gleaming sundial]

sweet! that's good for you.

[wispy spindle]

You need a video game to do that?

[scenic meteor]

i just want a good game

[gleaming sundial]

i like to kill people and also work towards kappa

[dreamy warren]

Morally? Yes

[gleaming sundial]

im achievement hunting anyway since you eventually run out of things to do

[echo shuttle]

Its good for extraction shooters to have hard challenges/quests

[proud glade]

why are you bringing well to PVP

[dreamy crow]

achievements do help i cant lie

[gleaming sundial]

having an extra 3 slots in your container is pretty nice

[dreamy warren]

Im not

I specifically said I don't 🥀

[echo shuttle]

Its nice but let's be honest, the amount of quests to get it really isn't worth it BUT its fun to get and a goal to shoot towards

[gleaming sundial]

Plus you have to get kappa to prestige now, which is a chase that a lot of ppl are going for.

[gleaming sundial]

It's a grind, without a doubt.

right now im running night factory with a m60 because tagilla is 100% spawn and it's hilarious with how loud this gun is

[echo shuttle]

Oh yeah definitely. Its the most prized achievement or everyone knows about it in tarkov as well

[dreamy warren]

I just play to get one tarkjillion dollars. Number go up

[gleaming sundial]

I did 15 shturman kills earlier when he was 100% spawn to unlock the mjolnir

running around shoreline with a semi auto .338 never gets old

[dreamy warren]

I used to be able to know if shturmy wurmy was up across the map

[dreamy crow]

its like growin basil and making pesto out of it

[gleaming sundial]

yeah you can hear his SVD from anywhere on woods

[dreamy warren]

He still have the same firing pattern?

[dreamy warren]

Well there's a difference from hearing a svd and hearing shturmy

[gleaming sundial]

yeah, he has the same firing pattern and you can hear it

[echo shuttle]

I mean if you hear an svd spam on woods then the boss is there lol

[dreamy warren]

It's not a spam tho

[gleaming sundial]

they have been doing week long events for the past month and a half with 100% boss spawn on a certain map

[echo shuttle]

I mean its shooting over and over....

[dreamy crow]

how come you guys mess up spelling svd?

[dreamy warren]

His first is always 1, 2, 3 pause 1, 2

[echo shuttle]

Autocorrect

[dreamy crow]

true

[gleaming sundial]

dude anyone who has played tarkov for any period of time knows what shturman sounds like on woods is isn't some mystical skill.

[echo shuttle]

Bruh dont have to be technical lol

If you hear svd shooting at beginning of woods towards sawmill, its boss

[dreamy warren]

People used to have me guide them 🥀 they had no idea and after I got sick of being a guide for them all the time I played by myself. So I don't really assume much from other tarkov players

[dreamy crow]

sad dvd that will be my new alias

[dreamy warren]

Or a guy with an svd

[onyx zodiac]

I forgot they took our gifs

[frank urchin]

It is the same. It's the main mechanic of the game.

[echo shuttle]

Bruh imma just stop with you lol

[dreamy warren]

Main enjoyment of the game for me is the killing other people tho

[gleaming sundial]

i kill people while working towards kappa. ez pz

[dreamy warren]

I usually hit a point where I stop even looking at quests unless the reward is good

[frank urchin]

How do you kill other people in a first person shooter game? 🤡

[echo shuttle]

Fr alot of kill quests anyways

[dreamy warren]

With glaives I beat them to death

Void warlock, blink, beat you and flinch you into having a stroke

Like I said I only use hand cannons and glaives cus they're the only weapons that feel like they have weight to them but bro fr don't care to read that ig

[dreamy crow]

im starting miss d2 im so behind gonna download rn 🫡

[brittle river]

DONT

[echo shuttle]

Isnt there a new dlc soon or something?

[next pendant]

is it possible to play this rn?

[wispy spindle]

Yeah

[dreamy warren]

I want one maramillion dollars

[wispy spindle]

#misinformation

[wispy spindle]

It’s a marathillion

[regal scroll]

JUST IN: MARSTHON TO REALSR SEPTEMBER 23rd 2027

[wispy spindle]

Still before GTA 6 I bet

[gleaming sundial]

and so many tasks later towards kappa progression to unlock meta ammo crafts

[grizzled summit]

Tbh i was excited to play trials of Osiris after so long but then i realized its behind a pay wall

[gleaming sundial]

gorblin probably running around with m856a1 wondering why he isn't dropping people

[dreamy warren]

Imagine 🥀

Nah I just buy an archangel build I made for m700 and load it with m80

That or I just turn someone's knees into red mist or head into soup with a shotgun

Once got a 170m 1 shot headshot with buckshot

Bro was trying to camp on reserve 🥀

[echo shuttle]

I remember doing the test drives quests, idk if they changed any this wipe but doing the rpdn with that shitty scope on shoreline was a pain lol. Or I mean it was fine but that scope was not it

yoooo wtf they changed it, its not 20 pmc kills anymore but any 30 targets

[dreamy warren]

Clearly because it's a dead game smh
