[obsidian plover]

Oh lawd just go back to reddit.

[strange sphinx]

You know you can like two games lol you don’t need to dunk on arc raiders just because you like marathon

[potent pecan]

Neeyth is dev confirmed but for rito and knows game is canceled

[obsidian plover]

Ok redditor.

[lilac lodge]

I think marathon and arc raiders are good for each other. They can both improve and iterate off of the others good and bad choices. Marathon has an uphill battle PR wise tho. Raiders has unlimited glaze potential in the algorithm

[wooden fjord]

Riot is going to save gaming 🙏 #retruth #makegaminggreatagain

[kindred vigil]

it's true I work on riot games, I know the roamdpas

[latent citrus]

that is the least reddit take what are you on about

[scenic meteor]

So true

[obsidian plover]

Nazwa what

[obsidian plover]

Scooby moment

[kindred vigil]

We cancelling riot MMO gng and a league overhaul and we not making an arcane game

[wooden fjord]

What's up 3P

[lilac lodge]

Neeyth thinks we don’t know they’re logging all our feedback for release

[obsidian plover]

Just existing right now, and getting genchat worked up.

[reef seal]

God I miss it already

[obsidian plover]

Made a double espresso with reaper flakes and a bit of nutmeg...

[outer patio]

one more day guys

[obsidian plover]

You do not. Nobody is buying that.

[unborn badger]

tell me you eat chocolate cake with ground black pepper

[kindred vigil]

what the hell

[obsidian plover]

I do, but usually it's dark chocolate infused with chili peppers

[unborn badger]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH YOU'RE SO BASED

[kindred vigil]

cake with pepper ????

[reef seal]

Sheeeeeiiiiittttt that’s the final boss rn my boy ran great and was beautiful in 2025 insane for a test

[unborn badger]

dark chocolate cake with pepper yeah it's SO good

[scenic meteor]

What

[kindred vigil]

I'll take ur word ig....

[scenic meteor]

Nah I’m not taking ur word that’s nasty

[sage river]

I tend to add a bit of salt on my cakes

[kindred vigil]

That's normal

[outer patio]

i do trhat too

[unborn badger]

WYM NASTY think about it dark chocolate's bitterness numbing you and ground pepper just dancing on top

[sage river]

I mean on like a single slice, i would sometimes drenched it if im allowed to

[kindred vigil]

I guess bro

[flat night]

Some bozo calling it trash cause he could never extract not you the first guy who responded to me

[unborn badger]

it's so good y'all missing out like you skipping on expresso with chili flakes

[kindred vigil]

I'll be sure to note it man okay

[unborn badger]

neeyth I'm gonna 🧨 🧨 🧨 🧨 🧨 you

[scenic meteor]

Neeyth we taking ur legs

[kindred vigil]

I SAID I'd try it wtf I do

[lilac lodge]

Getting a code is making me reconsider employment

[unborn badger]

whatever scooby said

[grizzled sinew]

I kinda wish they'd set a definite release date

[reef seal]

Hoping I load up marathon tomorrow and see more than 70 fps last alpha wasn’t optimized to good but I’m hopeful

[grizzled sinew]

so weird being in limbo like this

[kindred vigil]

be patient brobro

[flat night]

This is the second test I didn’t get into I can’t talk trash cause I haven’t gotten to play

[grizzled sinew]

patience is good, but too much patience makes a doormat

[scenic meteor]

The release date is early 2026

[kindred vigil]

you'll be okay just wait gng

[flat night]

Late”

[grizzled sinew]

can't do much else, don't have a certain string of numbers now do I, bungo

[kindred vigil]

u typing like IM Bungie ✌️😭

[reef seal]

I liked the art style ( not tying to be funny ) and the gun play but performance was bad on pc movement was clunky and personal preference not feeling the forced hero shooter aspect

[scenic meteor]

It prob is late cause nobody gonna release around gta 6 but everyone thinks early

[woeful creek]

To be fair, there are also letters as well

[flat night]

I regret to inform you that art is mostly all gone

[kindred vigil]

I have a question for everyone

[reef seal]

I mean like the look of the character models and guns mostly

[kindred vigil]

Do you guys recycle be honest

[woeful creek]

Yes

[sage river]

Yes

[scenic meteor]

Sometimes

[sage river]

If not, I reuse the boxes and bottles for something else

[kindred vigil]

I don't recycle cuz we don't got those green trash cans but whenever I'm at a place where we do or at any place with a recycling bin, I always choose the right one

[latent citrus]

when i can due to state ordinances

[kindred vigil]

I'm helping like 0.1% ok

[reef seal]

Just eat your trash prob solved

[scenic meteor]

I thought the recycle trash cans are mandatory

[stone grail]

Recycling snipers on your ass rn

[sage river]

💀 my recycling is seen as cat toys for my 16 cats at this point

[latent citrus]

they aren’t sadly

[tribal tartan]

Imma pretend you said this assuming what happened with the mistakes they did and it's not because you saw gameplay (which if u did NDA would keep ya from telling ) :3

[kindred vigil]

Maybe in some places but usually I don't see them in neighborhoods

[latent citrus]

for the majority of businesses they aren’t

where most trash is produced

[woeful creek]

Aside from doing it at home, I work at a zero waste certified facility so we have like, 5/6 different bins

[kindred vigil]

for some reason as a kid I used to have a extreme pet peeve for littering I never knew why

[sage river]

They are

[flat night]

I’m just going based off half the assets they used were hers so games gonna be mostly reworked art wise

[sage river]

towns issue the recycling can and trash cans with their logo on it. At least how my state does it

[kindred vigil]

legit used to be tweaking seeing thrown cigs on the ground 💔

[flat night]

But also not even a conversation I’m having with you so

[unborn badger]

texture audit don't mean the art's gone tell me you're uninformed without saying it outright 😭 😭

[tribal tartan]

Yea I've recently heard about the details

[kindred vigil]

round 85 ♻️

[unborn badger]

mb ig we need permission to talk to him now

[tribal tartan]

Well, it'd also make me sad if it's "gone" u know
I know I kinda jumped in :3

[flat night]

I mean UI and shi is reworked so

[wooden fjord]

Littering is one of the worst crimes you can do

[unborn badger]

that's...not part of the stolen assets

[kindred vigil]

true...

[tribal tartan]

I hope whatever happened there would be AN art style similar to what we had :))

[flat night]

Certain parts of the UI is

[unborn badger]

NAZWA HI

[wooden fjord]

Immediately zero respect for anyone that litters

[reef seal]

Hope it’s been dialed down the screen was crazy cluttered in the last alpha

[flat night]

I wish they just payed the girl and let the stuff it wouldn’t have been an issue if they asked for permission in the first place

[unborn badger]

bday dinner my family went to a beachside restaurant and it's just inundated with washed up shit people threw in the sea (we had a massive typhoon 2 weeks back)

[kindred vigil]

awesome

[unborn badger]

I actually got kinda pissed

[tribal tartan]

I completely agree
I dunno why they would make things harder for themselves
Well, I really don't know how they manage this stuff , but regardless I'm surprised there wasn't an easier solution

[kindred vigil]

why the fuck do ppl throw shit in the sea we legit have garbage cans like what

[reef seal]

Hope they changed the way you quick use items too

[sage river]

In my area, we still see parts of houses washing up on sea 😭

[kindred vigil]

HOUSES??

[flat night]

If they paid her they coulda launched on schedule

[unborn badger]

makes sense if you think about it them hurricanes do NOT play 💀

[sage river]

Yes, due to hurricanes. We still see parts of sandy with houses coming up to shore

[kindred vigil]

that's just sad I'm distraught now

[potent pecan]

Neeyth stop changing ur pfp 🥺

[kindred vigil]

You must be new to me this is barely anything new

[wooden fjord]

Nobody knows what actually happened, we just know that it's been/is being resolved. Many people enjoy this game and it's always sad to see something fail when there's so many passionate people working on it. Best to just accept that something bad happened and move on

[tribal tartan]

I wish I knew , I live close to a lake kinda place , and in one creating neighborhood near the lake there's super huge pile of garbage ppl have thrown there
Like , a mountain of garbage
I don't get it really
It's pretty easy not to do that

[sage river]

😭 I still remember seeing a window wash up at one point

[scenic meteor]

I couldn’t imagine living near the sea it’d be kinda awful

[flat night]

I guess I won’t be able to see the changes cause I once again didn’t get into this test

[kindred vigil]

Okay but did you take it

[tribal tartan]

Probably yea
Or at least sooner

[lilac lodge]

@scenic meteor good days great days bad days

[tribal tartan]

Wait a bit
We still have time :))🫠💔

[sage river]

Living by the shore is amazing unless you wanna add hurricane then yea it shit

[kindred vigil]

I just wanna live in the mountains and yell caw caw at ppl

[wooden fjord]

Also this is not true, it was just minor iconography that was hers. I'm not downplaying the issue, but it's definitely nothing substantial as far as art style/direction goes. The final game will look just as amazing as it currently does

[flat night]

Imma just stick to ABI till arc comes out cause I’m not getting into this test

[lilac lodge]

@kindred vigil I traded the beach for the mountains and I haven’t moved since

[tribal tartan]

I'm just stressed for tsunamis😭

[kindred vigil]

must be some great ass views

[upper storm]

he does it like 5 times a day lol

[wooden fjord]

😬

[lilac lodge]

@kindred vigil ya the Rocky Mountains are special

[upper storm]

it's his gimmick

[zinc mantle]

So does bungie just love to annoy their community with these very limited player count tests?

[kindred vigil]

It's not a gimmick it's legit a habit I've had for years 💔

[sage river]

😭 I’m glad I never saw one but I live in the mountains now so all I get is bear shit and Bob cats and deers 24/7 with people being half dressed in the road

[wooden fjord]

More like 25

[flat night]

They don’t wanna stress their servers too much

[lilac lodge]

@zinc mantle I got a code so I love bungie and won’t tolerate disrespect :/

[wooden fjord]

Gimmick is good... Silly Dog was a gimmick and our hero 😔 ✊

[zinc mantle]

How was that disrespect?

[kindred vigil]

I miss silly dog...

[flat night]

Do a server slam like arc raiders did

[wooden fjord]

Silly Dog come baaaaack

[tribal tartan]

😂😭
Well ig that's better than hurricanes and stuff XD
I honestly think I might prefer mountains too🤔

[zinc mantle]

So stress them with zero players, got it.

[flat night]

The more people in the test the more issues you will find

[lilac lodge]

@zinc mantle Lmaoo im just tugging your chain broski just trippin ya pickle just yanking your yarn

[kindred vigil]

yanking your yarn

[fierce bough]

When do we know if we get acces to the playtest?

[sage river]

I prefer them don’t get me wrong but when it storms, holy shit say goodbye to ur wifi and electricity for a few days and tornado. The winter much harsher too 😭

[zinc mantle]

Don't worry, bungie loves to do that already. At this point I'll just stay away from these developers.

[tribal tartan]

They way they said steam applications will be open till the 26th I assumed they'd wanna have as many ppl as possible
Maybe it's a wrong assumption

[unborn badger]

ok

[wooden fjord]

Adios, I hope you have fun with other games

[lilac lodge]

@zinc mantle When the game drops I’ll buy you a copy man just give it a chance :/

[zinc mantle]

They love to hype and advertise very low pop tests, it doesn't make sense at all.

[kindred vigil]

I like sonic the video game if that doesn't bother anyone

[tribal tartan]

Dam🫠

[flat night]

I applied on 6 accounts and didn’t get in

[sudden granite]

not allowed

[sage river]

🤔 saw a tornado like 2 months back

[wooden fjord]

Ummm I.. HATE... Marathon.... I hope nobody buys me a copy..... I'd be so mad.....

[zinc mantle]

I rather test it before I buy.

[tribal tartan]

Omg💀💔

[kindred vigil]

Should've did it on 6...to 7... accounts

[flat night]

(I got 6 others accounts not all for me all for others). Cause they didn’t know how to apply

[glad cairn]

Jesus man

[flat night]

But not a single one of them got in

[kindred vigil]

ohhh ok

[lilac lodge]

It would be a real shame if bungie knew i loved the game and bought everyone I know copies of it. I’m sure they wouldn’t give me a code every month until launch

[brittle river]

maybe they knew.

[flat night]

My friends that were in the previous tests got in before

[zinc mantle]

I have a whole discord of players, non of us got it, toxic.

[violet atlas]

damn it’s already almost been 6 months since the closed alpha jesus

[fathom slate]

Check this website but make sure you are signed in or it won’t be the right info https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[brittle river]

u guys mad as heeeell 😭😭😭

[kindred vigil]

Time flies holy

[lilac lodge]

6 months is crazy I need to shoot a rail gun again

[flat night]

63 of us in our server and only 1 got in

[violet atlas]

Dude seriously, Im excited to see how much has changed in that time, and im hoping for a hell of a lot

[rotund totem]

There’s like 400k people in this server and maybe like 20k people were in that first alpha. It’s just slim pickings calm down

[jagged rivet]

Anyone in now that wasn’t in any other playtests?

[scenic meteor]

Is that goku in the drake album cover wtf

[zinc mantle]

I have 25, zero.

[tribal tartan]

That
Actually I think tornados might be more stressful than tsunami's , idk
I mean If ur close to water and tsunami hits I think ur chances of survival are lower 🤔
But close enough to say pretty much same if it does hit😂😭💀

[wooden fjord]

The open playtest will be fun, I'm excited to sink back in to Marathon

[rotund totem]

One of my friends

[violet atlas]

its vegeta LMFAO

[flat night]

There isn’t an open playtest

[wooden fjord]

I assume there will be

[violet atlas]

Yeah they gotta nail this open playtest, cause they practically have to do one

[tribal tartan]

I really wish they'd let more ppl in later
Tomorrow or sth hopefully

[lilac lodge]

Good luck to yall im gonna go quit my job to lock in on marathon this week

[kindred vigil]

buddy doesn't know his dragon balls

[rotund totem]

It’s not an open test

[violet atlas]

With how well arc was received from the server slam, if they want a chance in hell in doing anything they gotta do well with an open playtest

[violet atlas]

Theres nuance in that message that seems to have been missed. Im saying that when they do eventually do one its gotta be solid

[sage river]

I would like to see a open playtest being test to it limit for this game 🤔

[violet atlas]

And yeah I can read that it said “closed technical test” but i appreciate the clarification

[tribal tartan]

That comes later XD

[tribal tartan]

I'd be surprised if they never do an open beta

[fierce bough]

all ready did the survey, just says survey expired XD

[sage river]

I be disappointed 😭 like most game do a open beta at some point

[violet atlas]

The closed alpha was like close to 2ish weeks wasnt it?

[sage river]

And normally the open beta is where the fun happens

[wooden fjord]

It was? It convinced all of my friends to not buy it and I've seen a lot of negativity on the subreddit

[tribal tartan]

Truuue
I think it'll help marathon too

[wooden fjord]

I know all the streamers have been hyping it up though

[sudden granite]

theyll do an open test closer to launch. Arc had theirs literally a week before launch. Marathon still has 5 months to cook

[wooden fjord]

(who are getting paid sponsorships)

[kindred vigil]

feeeeein feeeein feeein

[violet atlas]

yeah ive seen almost nothing but the opposite myself, seen a lot of people that were curious instantly hop the fence with it and preorder

[waxen pendant]

God I want in 😵‍💫

[violet atlas]

especially some people that ive known and a handful more

[sage river]

That and also seeing the joy of this game being seen by others who never got a chance to be in the alphas

[wooden fjord]

Dang, I really don't see what people like about it. I don't think it's a bad game at all, just not very enjoyable or enticing

[kindred vigil]

who up being joyous

[wooden fjord]

Free game and I'd probably play it, but not worth $40 to me

[tribal tartan]

Some dislike the robots being strong (which they aren't)
Some dislike the game encouraging ratty playstyles (makes sense to an extent it's an extraction shooter)
Some dislike the gunplay (me too a little )
But the game leans more toward a casual type , heck I made new friends with the Random enemies 😂

[kindred vigil]

If they kept arc to that pve f2p thing I would've played

[violet atlas]

Honestly i think its easily worth the 40 tbh

[kindred vigil]

I'm just still salty about the game direction change from pve to extraction

[sage river]

I feel like if arc was free to play. Maybe I would of gotten it

Or put arc on gamepass

[violet atlas]

think the think the sucked about the server slam was just the locked content

[kindred vigil]

I was legit looking forward to the pve game but I think arc it's a fine game, it has its base

[snow ember]

please no f2p, it attracts the cheaters even more

[violet atlas]

but from what I played, the way everything is structured, the game itself is gorgeous and how the combat and movement is yeah I loved it

[tribal tartan]

Ur totally right
The thing is , I love what they're going for , but with everything that happened
And how ppl feel about this game
I think letting ppl play when it's In a good state is a really good idea u know
They'd actually get to enjoy it and have fun
Hopefully give the game a chance and like it after

[violet atlas]

I had very few inherent negatives, and I heavily enjoy how threatening the ARC’s are

[sage river]

It just ain’t worth the 40 bucks, just my thoughts tho. Maybe if it was on gamepass I would of gotten it but it not worth my 40 bucks

[tribal tartan]

I'm willing to bet it'll be on game pass later

[kindred vigil]

You know what else is worth 40 bucks

my mom!!!

[sudden granite]

OH

[violet atlas]

pve enemies that actually need to be taken fully seriously but can be avoided with competent knowledge and know how are so good man

[sage river]

You’re not wrong at all. I guess I hold a little hope for this game even tho I only played the first alpha. It was fun to me and a new realm so we will see wha happens

[kindred vigil]

I don't think no one gets the regular show ref 💔

[snow ember]

each of their own, i ordered the deluxe version for 60 € as soon as preorder went up. for me its the best shooter in the last few years and by far the best extract (next to cycle fronitier)

[sage river]

I mean isn’t it made by embark?

[violet atlas]

Loved how fuck you the rocketeer was as well

[wooden fjord]

I dislike the gunplay, art style, environments, and setting. The graphics are pretty but it's all kinda bland and uninspired imo. Feels like a generic game, which is why I think Marathon stands out a lot with the awesome art style and story. I think ARC will do just fine and find a dedicated playerbase though, people are itching for a new extraction shooter

[latent citrus]

i mean hunt showdown is 30$

[tribal tartan]

Yup
U mean because of the finals it also having benefits with gamepass right?

[tribal tartan]

I'm very hopeful :3

[violet atlas]

the extractions themselves i love heavily with arc too

[sage river]

I mean that make sense 😭 I wish I wasn’t sensitive to graphics much, I would get into it but it doesn’t fully appeal me. Whenever the game as the free weekend play or on gamepass. I will maybe try again

[twilit crystal]

The enemy on arc were actually trained using AI as well so are continuously learning

[kindred vigil]

That game sucks tho!!

[sage river]

I mean the finals is free and it on gamepass I think? I could be wrong in the gamepass park. But I feel like embark will want it on gamepass

[kindred vigil]

God this morning is beautiful the sun golden asf!!!

[latent citrus]

:(

[languid glen]

I think you're all forgetting Powerwash Simulator 2 comes out in 2 days

[scenic meteor]

Hunt showdown is so boring with no progression such a slop game

[placid bane]

where is the invites?

[kindred vigil]

If you play hunt you cannot be near my eyeballs

[placid bane]

i never get

[snow ember]

these old 1890 weapons make up for great gunfights tho

[kindred vigil]

I thought the game is set in 1700

[snow ember]

i think its 1890

[tribal tartan]

Gotcha
We differ a bit here
But ppl have different tastes and opinions
I will say , yea marathon looks more unique In appearance and art
Kinda like how the finals looks unique
But compared to other games , I think arc is pretty good looking actually
Maybe not super unique, but not bland either

[tidal flume]

😡

[sage river]

I would love to see a extraction shooter with old world war 2 guns 😂

[tribal tartan]

The finals is free in general
But it has perks with gamepass XD

[snow ember]

the vetterli (a famous weapon in hunt) was developed 1870-1890.

[keen bluff]

I want to play marathon 🙁

[nocturne orbit]

literraly the worst opinion i saw from now

you could have blame the 3rdperson or anything the game does bad

[tribal tartan]

Rage bait?

[scenic meteor]

Nah it’s real hunt showdown got no progression

[sage river]

😭 I mean that true, idk what the perks be other breaking my soul over a large player kicking my ass with a slam hammer

[zinc mantle]

Gameplay is top tier once more workbenches are unlocked and you get higher tier weapons, the server slam was very limited to what I experienced in tech test 2.

[nocturne orbit]

but you choose literraly the best things and why 200k player went playing last weekend

[kindred vigil]

All extraction shooters suck besides the ones I like

[snow ember]

1 day and its kicking off. im ready

[tribal tartan]

Didn't play a lot to know , I enjoyed the little I played tho XD

[tidal flume]

chat is this ragebait🤔

[keen bluff]

Did you get the code?

[dapper tinsel]

Where do we see invites ?

[scenic meteor]

They market themselves in 2025 by which famous person we can add to the game next ie post Malone or scream

[nocturne orbit]

on ur msn account

[sage river]

Email or the bungie game code

[snow ember]

All~~ extraction shooters~~ games suck besides the ones I like. corrected it for you 🙂

[tribal tartan]

I miss the finals XD
the perks are a full outfit, 500 coins (think almost half a battlepass) and 25% more XP
I see u didn't have a lot of fun in the game 🫠💔

[verbal verge]

Im holding onto hope that im gonna get an invite lol. Haven’t got one yet so hoping ill be one of the waves during if I don’t get it today 🤣

[dapper tinsel]

Thanks !

[wintry pollen]

does anybody have the survey link

[sage river]

Ur welcome

[nocturne orbit]

i think it went close yesterday mate

[snow ember]

yes, 1 account which was in the first april test got one, my main account where i only applied thru steam didnt

[cold compass]

I am waiting as well for a invite

[sage river]

I did for like what, 3 or 4 season in then my booty got touched too many times by a light and heavy player that I think it needs a break

[wintry pollen]

So how do you check if you got in?

[tribal tartan]

That's what I figured , I enjoyed the game a lot
And I assume some things that feel are missing from the game
We're not part of the beta XD

[warm gate]

I would check the website if you didn't get an email. I didn't receive an email

[sage river]

So I redid the application link and it told me I was selected

[proven kernel]

yeah, apparently not everyone got emails, so check bungie.net.

[warm gate]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[grim dawn]

If you apply through steam do you still need to do the survey?

[proven kernel]

no. it was just like a button press.

[grim dawn]

Ok thank you.

[kindred vigil]

Bungie devs just woke up hey bungie

[scenic meteor]

I go to Bungie.net it says application denied surely they are mistaken right

[warm gate]

Definitely a mistake

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[proven kernel]

deja vu

[placid bane]

where is next wave?

[tribal tartan]

😂😂
I played for 3 seasons almost very obsessively
Starting in S2, but there were some issues that pissed me off
That aside , the game is still good , I have my criticism but I'd still play it
However now compared to before u encounter strong opponents much more XD

[proven kernel]

no one knows yet.

[proven kernel]

[frank cove]

And that's how you win comment of the morning lol

[sage river]

WHAT PISSED ME OFF WAS THE BALANCE OF THE LIGHT PLAYERS. I was better off touching my own ass cheeks to a light pole and swinging myself around then having a light player come speeding at me from jumping wall to wall with a smg strapped

[kindred vigil]

there's no way that meme is what gets the masses

[misty marsh]

Welcome

[tribal tartan]

Omg 😂💔
Yea that's not at all pleasant ┻⁠┻⁠︵⁠ヽ⁠(⁠`⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠︵⁠┻⁠┻
U know for me , I think the game would've been much better if they didn't make the game so , tactical
I'm not sure if that's the right word
But at the start the game was about a lot of explosions and damage and a bit more casual play
Well , to be specific what I mean is , I'd rather have more shields and heals , and also more damage and destruction if it makes sense
As an example
I'd love the rpg to deal a lot of damage
Not how they nerfed it
But also to let the shields have more health
Which they lessened

[frank cove]

I figured that sticker out JUST NOW💀

[sleek idol]

I’ve been accepted. If you want to know now, go to this link. Make sure you’re signed in.

[placid bane]

[sleek idol]

Might mean you didn’t sign up in time?

[dapper tinsel]

I sign up 20 min after the announce of the play test

Im just not selected hahaha its okay

[tribal tartan]

I wonder what it says if you have been accepted

[sage river]

I get what you mean. I feel like once this game started to do public tournaments like comps. I know they did one this year, but In this time line embark trying to really push this game to be competitive ready to be on public events like apex, cod, VALORANT and more. Which I’m 50/50 on, everyone sweating their demons off clearly

On mine it says “you been selected” with my code I had since the first alpha testing

[wicked anvil]

something among the lines of “You’ve been selected”

[placid bane]

I sign up 30 min after the announce of the play test

[sleek idol]

Can’t post an image in here but it says “You’ve Been Selected
Redeem your code on the platform shown below. If you previously played during Public Alpha, you can just update or re-download the game from your library.”

[proud surge]

I signed up 0.5 seconds after they announce of they playtest

[wicked anvil]

super happy for everyone getting in and NOT the tiniest bit envious at all

[woeful creek]

Crazy, I signed up in .25!

[sleek idol]

Did you sign up for it through steam or console?

[red dragon]

I signed up before they even announced it!

[tribal tartan]

I love the finals but I'd love it even more if it wasn't as sweaty as it is XD
(Also may I befriend u :3)

[sleek idol]

I’m sorry brother

[outer linden]

Bungie is plotting against me. I've no proof, but i know it

[verbal verge]

I signed up literally the second I saw the post and that Europe was included so I’m just keeping the positive vibes lol.

[placid bane]

@proud surgeare you in or not?

[sage river]

I don’t mind
Also I agree, I miss how season 1 and 2 felt also CNN, was a beautiful god dam masterpiece of a season. Bring it back

[scenic meteor]

What is this gng

[sage river]

I still play the season 2 soundtrack 😭

[proud surge]

No, I didnt sign up as fast as OwFrain or VoidWalker did

[red dragon]

I guess I was just too fast, though, because I am not in either 😥

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[tribal tartan]

SAAAAME
Actually I have it on my Spotify I listen to it here and there
At that point I was completely sold on the game
And I thought we'd see more of the same
Or I hoped 😂

[woeful creek]

.25 is the goal cause I got in. Can’t be too early or too late

[weary yoke]

When do we know if you got access

[woeful creek]

Check the sign up page

[red dragon]

You are the master 🙇‍♂️

[glad cairn]

I'm gonna assume the next wave will be around the same time like yesterday

[sage river]

😭 😭 I played it everyday for maybe a month or two straight. I still listen to it now in between the sonic frontiers soundtrack with Keller on it

[charred inlet]

i didn't get an email overnight, i think AWS is still down or something

[wicked anvil]

surely it’s just the mail servers being overloaded

SURELY the mail with the code is coming in any second now

[forest fulcrum]

bungie.... grr...

[red dragon]

Keep the faith

[charred inlet]

as they say... Next wave trust

[kindred vigil]

why do animals talk lwk

[sage river]

Like why cat meow?

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[kindred vigil]

no like words

[scenic meteor]

The same reason u do

[gentle warren]

They hate you and only speak of evil

[charred inlet]

just because we don't have a code yet doesn't mean we're less than humans...

[sage river]

If my cats spoke word, I hope I did drugs

[tribal tartan]

Also with last season , I really liked the new map
It was different, but gave me a very heavenly futuristic japanese vibe
A vibe I felt I wanted to feel for ages😂
Also speaking of frontier
Would u recommend the game
I've been thinking of trying it out I'd love to hear ur opinion:3

[red dragon]

That one dog Martha speaks...

[kindred vigil]

I mean like a par rot specifically the bird

[charred inlet]

they're just immitating sounds

[gentle warren]

To mate

[bleak helm]

Does anyone who have a code for na know how to change it or if it could be changed to eu

[scenic meteor]

It’s like a mimic for sound

[kindred vigil]

okay but do parrots KNOW or have word association to know what words to use specifically or do they use the ones that would entice the most reaction

[wicked anvil]

parrots are generational ragebaiters

[gentle warren]

Most animals have pattern recognition

[cedar apex]

A parrot got lost once and it was able to repeat its address and it made it home

[scenic meteor]

He gonna say food cause he knows ur gonna feed it type shi

[thorn tiger]

So, is it really just that whether or not one got in is determined by there being "This survey has already expired" or not on the survey website?

[sage river]

I really love sonic frontiers as a huge sonic nerd, the open world aspect, finding Amy hearts throughout the map during games, unlocking map section. Fighting the bosses on the map does suck ass. They do bring back the original Sonic games of him in a 2d aspect still keeping 3d to be able to collect my keys, hearts, learn new attack moves. The sound track is golden.
I think the only song I liked from the Japanese season of the finals was something pedals. It was light but yet held a weird deep feeling

[thorn tiger]

Oh, thanks, @proud surge

[wicked anvil]

super sonic when

[kindred vigil]

Sonic frontiers love oh my God I'm home

[tribal tartan]

Amy hearts?😂😭👌

[scenic meteor]

I think neeyth is a sonic enjoying poser I just can’t prove it yet

[stone grail]

New Mandy video just dropped

[kindred vigil]

FUCK no I literally grew up on SONIC and it is my first game on the Sega GENESIS original on my crt TV I remember putting in that damn fucking cart you can NOT call me a poser watch your MOUTH

sorry #sonicfanego

[stone grail]

FUCK no I literally grew up on SONIC and it is my first game on the Sega GENESIS original on my crt TV I remember putting in that damn fucking cart you can NOT call me a poser watch your MOUTH

[scenic meteor]

Right….

[tribal tartan]

I loved sonic ,
Admittedly I haven't played many sonic games tho
Favorite would be unleashed XD
I played umm, the hover skate game and rivals 2
If I remember the names correctly

[kindred vigil]

keep my game out your goddamn mouth ‼️🗣️ (is this meme still funny)

[frank cove]

Hold up so it gave you the exact same code you got for the alpha run?

[stone grail]

Going 3d was the best thing to happen to sonic

[frank cove]

That would make complete sense

[gleaming bough]

[tribal tartan]

Oooh I see I see
Tnx
I think I'd enjoy it XD
But I do wish it did have better boss fights 🫠

[stone grail]

Sonic forces

[woeful creek]

Sonic 2 on top of a S&K cart 🤌

[kindred vigil]

what about it

[stone grail]

Idk I don’t play sonic games

[frank cove]

Marathon and Arc Raiders will be the 2 biggest competitors

ENOUGH SAID

[tribal tartan]

Was that the one with
Umm
The digital enemy
I think he had multiverse powers?
I didn't play it but I wish I did

[kindred vigil]

Sonic frontiers open world boss sucks but the actual boss fights are awesome

[tribal tartan]

💀😂💔

[scenic meteor]

I feel like sonic can only survive in gaming if it’s 3d if not it gonna flop

[sage river]

Yea you have to collect army hearts to bring her back

[kindred vigil]

He had this ability to bring in sonic villains from different times yes, yes, and accidentally(?) got classic sonic in it too

[tribal tartan]

Ooooohhhh
Ok ok

[sage river]

Yes, it did

[stone grail]

What do you guys think of Shadow with his pump action mp5

[tribal tartan]

That's soooo cute😭🤌

[kindred vigil]

Awesome as fuck

[sage river]

It is but god dam. When she speak it so sad 🥲 and seeing her wanting to be back to her normal self make it more sad

[tribal tartan]

I remember I wanted the story cause I couldn't play it back then

[stone grail]

Put it in bf6

[kindred vigil]

ggs new meta weapon for 5 seasons 💔

[tribal tartan]

Ooh😭🫠💔

[sage river]

I still remember when people were mad shadow had a gun in his own game then any other character 💀

[frank cove]

This would make complete sense..... as to why it said ( Code already used )

I was an Alpha Player
First wave

Wednesday needs to HURRY UP!

[kindred vigil]

when like he'd be the only character to use a gun anyway

[gentle warren]

The pump action mp5

[sage river]

😂 but it’s okay, it sad to admit I’m going to be Sonic for Halloween

[stone grail]

Shadow with an RPG

[kindred vigil]

He uses one in the game as a pick up
https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/RPG

[sage river]

Don’t worry, i had the same confusion during all of this because I don’t no email and I’m like “I was in the first wave so do I just not get shit even tho I apply for this wave?” Little did I know, had to check the website then realize I already used the code

[stone grail]

Yeah i know used to love that game

[tribal tartan]

Sonic Is great there's nothing sad about It:))
Ignore the ppl that say otherwise

[stone grail]

It has the sickest intro but the gameplay is ass

[kindred vigil]

I miss my PS3 I bought shadow and sonic heroes on the Japanese store on it 💔

[obsidian plover]

Turn it back on

[tribal tartan]

I regret having missed out on it

[kindred vigil]

it broke gng

[stone grail]

Didn’t miss much it’s not a good game lol , full of glitches

[tribal tartan]

Oh

[worn dragon]

Pt invitation has been sent to someone?

[stone grail]

Shadow karate chopping eggman is wild tho

[kindred vigil]

Since when there was a new avatar movie

[proven kernel]

for the new or returning people, h o g in any form is an automod term for some reason.

[kindred vigil]

did ppl get muted 💔

[red dragon]

I think that had something to do with Mr.Roflwaffles

[cold turtle]

GG

[rocky gazelle]

oh shit im in

I forgot they arent sending emails this time so I was checking that for no reason

[proven kernel]

you guys were talking about sonic and shadow, so yes.

[zinc mantle]

Still waiting for the next wave of invites. 😑

[proven kernel]

i have no idea lol

[covert valley]

They aren't sending emails?

[proven kernel]

a lot of people are saying they didn’t get emails.

[kindred vigil]

I got in the test and I didn't get a email

[rocky gazelle]

no. head back to the site where you signed up

[kindred vigil]

I think it may have to do with that aws thing

[proven kernel]

that would be my guess.

[covert valley]

Wait so if we see the alpha chat we're in?

[rocky gazelle]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[cold turtle]

Didn’t receive any email, but I’m invited.
Was already in the past alpha tho

[proven kernel]

no. that was for the april test.

[rocky gazelle]

if you've signed up and see "you've been selected" with a code, youre in

[winter ingot]

Hello can i talk to a bungie creator manager ?

[proven kernel]

new people haven’t been added to the nda chats yet.

[cold turtle]

Nope, you need to login in the link Vostok sent

[kindred vigil]

I always wondered how Ubisoft makes money despite all their shit being so cheap

[zinc mantle]

I'll never be added 😓

[proven kernel]

I should probably save that link…

[kindred vigil]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[covert valley]

Ohh snap. Thanks bro 😭 i been waiting for an email but yeah i have a code

[proven kernel]

tyty

[stone grail]

Link

[proven kernel]

Legend of Zelda?

[red dragon]

I just want a code... hopefully in this next wave 😥

[brittle schooner]

Sorry, this survey has already expired.

[stone grail]

What’s that Zelda game where Ganondorf is buff af

[rocky gazelle]

same here.

its kinda funny, I found out through a GamePost article that I got a notification for this morning that they arent sending emails and that its like this instead

[placid bane]

@red dragon Where is next wave?

[fluid nova]

Are invites still getting sent out or am i supposed to remain sad?

[red dragon]

I don't know, sometime today I think

[zinc mantle]

We are all sad

[rocky gazelle]

the playtest hasnt even started so yeah, there's gonna be more

[stone grail]

Yes

[rocky gazelle]

cant say for when they send them out

[cold compass]

They should've done email as well

[cold turtle]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

"Expired" = Gotta wait

"You've been selected" = Gotta wait but for Wednesday so you can play

If you play on steam it should appear as “closed tech test” on your library

[red dragon]

Tears of the Kingdom or Skyward Sword I guess

[proven falcon]

anyone that has definite proof, that you got accepted for the test?

[fluid nova]

I thought it was Super Smash Bros

[cold compass]

I got my code, but college form today till Thursday, then marathon

[proven falcon]

prove it

[cold turtle]

We can’t sent media on this chat mate

[fluid nova]

yeah prove it. if you don't give us your bungie account login so we can login as you and see the code ourselves then we wont ever know for sure. We DEFINITELY won't try to take your code.

[fringe acorn]

Alright Runners, is it Wednesday yet

[fluid nova]

that was a joke, pls dont do this

[cold turtle]

But you definitely can check out our profiles tomorrow while playing

[silk iron]

Were you supposed to get an email confirming that you applied for the test? I heard people saying to check the link in that email but I never got one :/

[cold compass]

@proven falcon you can wait for Tommorow

[fluid nova]

you don't know what we can wait for

YOU DONT KNOW ME

[fringe acorn]

Booting up the Marathon app on PS5 just to sit with the vibes

[misty garnet]

Its Tuesday

[fringe acorn]

Disagree

[proven falcon]

? nah mate, if you are speaking the truth then it's already over. i know that more will get in but, it's only a couple hundreds more i believe.

[cold compass]

I ain't showing what I got

[proven falcon]

? wdym?

[fringe acorn]

The code is your 16 digit debit card number, expiration date, and the 3 digit code on the back. Make sure to post it in here to so we can confirm it for you.

/ JOKE

[kindred vigil]

When the test code sizzling

[cold compass]

It an NDA

[proven falcon]

oh fair, my bad for asking im sorry, didn't realize

[waxen mason]

has anyone actually recieved any email confirmation or notification in regard to the playtest?

[cold compass]

Yea can't show anything

[prisma cargo]

Question, has anyone already received a code?

[winter brook]

Yeah my buddy got in around 9 hours ago

[cold compass]

No emails

[waxen mason]

damn is the pool size THAT SMALL. sheesh.

[trim shuttle]

yes

[winter brook]

You don’t get a confirmation message no, only if you get in

[winter brook]

How small?

[cold compass]

It on the website you signed up the test

[trim shuttle]

at least 1

[waxen mason]

it was a question really lol

[winter brook]

Was it around 9 hours ago for you ?

[silk iron]

Ah ok thanks!

[finite nacelle]

so excited for there to be a total of 100 of us that get access

[tribal tartan]

That is criminal

[trim shuttle]

i would bet you money there are at least 300

[waxen mason]

exactly lol -- hmmmmm

[rancid veldt]

An elite group

[finite nacelle]

i got my code so i’m chillin

[keen acorn]

Will the codes start being given tomorrow? and will there be alot of them . or just a few? thanks 🙂

[winter brook]

What time

[cold compass]

Special forces

[winter brook]

Released in waves yes

[tribal tartan]

We have no clue how many there will be 🫠

[keen acorn]

🫠🫠

[finite nacelle]

didn’t get an email but on the bungie website you can check and it shows my code and that i have access

[waxen mason]

my thing is, IF this game never gets released. it'll be the only bungie/halo/destiny related game i have NEVER touched.
and i love that stuff. been loving it since halo 1 or 2 shotgun pistol combo.

I really want to play this, in case i never actually get the chance.

[cold compass]

Yes

[finite nacelle]

whether that’s true or not will be seen wednesday but i’m sure emails will start going out soon

[vernal rain]

[finite nacelle]

[iron palm]

Has anyone already received an invitation to EU?

[prisma cargo]

that comforts me

[rancid veldt]

Bungie is west coast so they wake up the latest in the US

[kindred vigil]

Compiling shaders ...🫩

[solemn merlin]

I’m willing to game share for £4.99

[cold compass]

NDA

[winter brook]

I wouldn’t be deceived it’s a small playtest

[tribal tartan]

I bet the emails would definitely be out by the end of Wednesday
(I don't mean all of them XD)

[livid cobalt]

i want my code...so bad...

[iron palm]

Has anyone already received an invitation to EU?

[finite nacelle]

a good portion of them should be out today so people can pre download for wednesday

[proven falcon]

don't worry i believe we will get in

[cold compass]

I don't even understand what 67 means

[graceful wadi]

I hope emails go out before the test does

[tribal tartan]

Oh my god 😂

[winter brook]

That’s the spirit

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[iron palm]

Has anyone already received an invitation to EU?

[winter brook]

I haven’t seen any EU yet

[sick mason]

Bro I miss Tau Ceti💔

[winter brook]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[covert valley]

i wonder what changes they've made since last time we played

[tribal tartan]

I hope so
But I'm willing to bet it won't happen today 🫠

[keen acorn]

anyone knows when the game will be released or when we can preorder?

[cold compass]

Nope

[thorn plank]

shadow drop at midnight

[obsidian plover]

Closed testing

[prisma cargo]

Could I have a chance if I reported bugs in the previous alpha?

[finite nacelle]

well im hoping a lot has since the first test months ago cause that shit was ass lol

[winter brook]

March 2026 is the target apparently

[cold compass]

Nope

[sick mason]

Bungie should drop it on chrimmas

[winter brook]

If you believe enough

[cold compass]

Too long of a wait but at least I get to play arc until then

[keen acorn]

wow from september 2025 to march 2026 big jump

[finite nacelle]

well they did get sued like 8 times

[gentle robin]

remember, the game was supposed to be out by now

[winter brook]

Honesty i’d rather they take the time to make a product most people enjoy, bungo can’t afford a flop right now

[cold compass]

Well they did get sued and what not

[cold compass]

Agreed

[gentle robin]

any documents?

[prisma cargo]

I start praying then

[keen acorn]

oh i didnt know they were being sued imma google it

[snow ember]

you have to belive an internet stranger...

[winter brook]

Yeah it was evident from the first alpha the game needed a substantial delay but they’ve made significant improvements since then so I’m excited to see how this playtest goes (if I get in)

[thorn plank]

hey now, their CEO also resigned in disgrace and they had to get their company rearranged by their Japanese dad too

[cold compass]

You can look it up

[marsh sphinx]

When are code?

[winter brook]

One of the dev’s used someone’s art work in game with no credit

[winter brook]

One wave has went out, next wave time is unknown

[marsh sphinx]

:((

[pliant chasm]

Do we ACTUALLY know that more codes will be sent out? where's the actual confirmation of this?

[sage river]

I don’t see a lawsuit on file

[gentle robin]

cant find any documents, thats why im asking

[obsidian plover]

:((

[weak saddle]

in #marathon-news it says in the announcement that more invites are given over time

[thorn plank]

we know nothing. Bungie hates both communication and building any buzz whatsoever

[cold compass]

The only reason we know this is because it was on the news and Twitter

[jolly oracle]

Neither statement made in this comment are true

[wet mirage]

I am madly in love with you

[winter brook]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/techtestapply Invites go out until the 26th

[thorn plank]

are there any documents?

[pliant chasm]

I just saw that post, thanks for the clarification, hopefully I get access before the end

[covert valley]

Welp the servers aint open yet

[wet mirage]

I am sadly in love with you

[covert valley]

I thought i was slick

[thorn plank]

still got you tho 🛹

[final socket]

Does anyone know if they're already handing out access keys?

[thorn plank]

yeah, I'm a cheeky rabblerouser

[gentle robin]

then please don´t claim that there is a court case happening on this matter, i cant find anything and you did not provide evidence

[icy knoll]

Can anyone from Bungie help me with getting sent a code for the wrong platform? Applied for Steam, selected steam, logged in to the application through Steam, got an Xbox code

[cold compass]

It was mainly art and art usually don't go to court

[idle cave]

In their own announcement in the FAQ section. They say. More codes will be sent out during the test

Considering the aws stuff yesterday. Im hoping not ALL codes were sent out yesterday, so there may be some straggler codes sent out today. Thats my own hopeful speculation as a non code getter

[winter brook]

Tomorrow no?

[covert valley]

Yeah

[proud surge]

nice non code getter cope. Im right there with u buddy

[hushed coral]

I do really hope more will come out today or at least tomorrow. I still have friends that have not got into the playteat yet

[winter brook]

There isn’t a case it was settled

[thorn plank]

quite a few right now if you count AI

[winter brook]

They will come out in waves most like 1 or 2 each day of the test, same as the last test

[stone grail]

Pretty sure codes dropped everyday last time so it will most likely be the same for this one

[gentle robin]

well then the same question applies, source/documents? im genuinely interested

[idle cave]

Myself and 4 or 5 other friends signed up for this test, and the one back in April or whatever. None of us got invited to either of the tests. So. Its like 9 or 10 applications. 0 invites

[hushed coral]

Any idea if there will be more today or no

[thorn plank]

sir, this is a discord chat not a google search

[winter tulip]

anyone in the test through the early steam thing, if so what does it say if u try to load in

[simple dome]

Like 100 a day

[kind fog]

I have access I just haven’t opened it up yet

[hushed coral]

All of my friends applied to each one and only i got accepted twice 😭

[covert valley]

Same 😭

[final socket]

So, have some access keys already been distributed?

[winter brook]

Yes

[covert valley]

Happens every time. We all apply and only 1 or 2 of us get in

[winter tulip]

can you open it and try to load in and tell me what it says

[hushed coral]

At least like 8

[weary yoke]

everyone who says they got access is cappin

[winter brook]

You’ll know when you check roles

[proven falcon]

what role confirms it?

[waxen mason]

100%

[tribal tartan]

Right now I have a very low hope 😭

[winter brook]

“Closed alpha playtest”

[weary yoke]

"Closed Technical Test invites will be sent in waves throughout the test" straight from their website

"You will receive an official email from Bungie"

[winter tulip]

i mean plenty of ppl got access on steam rn (ppl who had access before)

[verbal patrol]

I think th closed alpha playtest role has been present since the first test they never really updated it

[weary yoke]

"Participation in previous tests doesn’t guarantee participation in this or future tests."

[stone grail]

test

[weary yoke]

go read the website yall falling for all the bait

[cold turtle]

Yes and not email

[kind fog]

Okay so I just checked I have the closed technical test on steam but I guess official access to get in and play hasn’t been done yet

[winter tulip]

read the part about renaming the thing (from playtest to closed tech test)

[cold turtle]

Just need to check their page

[final socket]

But do we have a rough idea of how many keys they’ll distribute?

[kind fog]

Having the Closed technical test isn’t cappin, it’s not live rn but when it does go live I will already have access to it

[weary yoke]

how do you know

[winter tulip]

"If you see the "Marathon Closed Alpha Test" replaced by the "Marathon Closed Technical Test" in your Steam library today, this means you will be admitted to the playtest" #marathon-news message

[kind fog]

Wdym? If you had access to the closed alpha then you more than likely already got chosen to be apart of the closed technical test and if you did it would show on your steam.

[cold turtle]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

"Expired" = Gotta wait

"You've been selected" = Gotta wait but for Wednesday so you can play

If you play on steam it should appear as “closed tech test” on your library

[weary yoke]

ok i see now, wonder why that isnt on the website

[wispy zephyr]

i am never gonna get to play this game ffs

[sleek idol]

Don’t keep looking for an email, just check the bungie playtest site. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[inner vector]

Have any of the steam emails been sent out yet? The website survey ones had a wave already.

[tame nacelle]

This is inoccrect. Yes Bungie said it. Its wrong. Dev Andy said so, the only indicator is if steam says Play instead of Purchase.

[kind fog]

Brother doesn’t even know what he’s talking about lol

[weak saddle]

not yet afaik

[weary yoke]

you didnt read anything i said, they literally stated that just b/c you had access to the last test, does not 100% mean you will have access to this one. Also per @winter tulip , the easy way to check since you payed the last one is if your steam updated the title of the game

[final mauve]

Also is anyone else’s bnet saying something about service?

[winter tulip]

oh what if it says play but questionnaire says expired

[weary yoke]

so other than having played the old test and seeing the title change, there is no way to otherwise know you have access

[tame nacelle]

That's a d2 server issue.

[inner vector]

okay, just asking because a bunch of friends used that one, thx. 🙂

[kind fog]

That’s wtf I just said guy?? I have the closed technical test on my steam can you not comprehend?

[pearl drift]

Why does Bungie hate me I’ve put in 13 trillion hours in destiny 2 and no code still

[brittle river]

marathon is anti destiny

[pearl drift]

Bungie is Bungie

[weary yoke]

"if you had access to the closed alpha then you more than likely already got chosen to be apart of the closed technical test" not what you said. your exact words

[tame nacelle]

The question are IS expired. The status page DID NOT go live on the 20th like they said. If it says play you're in. The reason the site doesn't reflect the steam status is because it was a separate application process or maybe because of grandfathering.

[versed mountain]

I just hope they get rid of the agents and let us customize our own

[winter tulip]

thank you :}

[brittle river]

wdym status page

[final mauve]

Uggh this is so fckin annoying they said emails
My xbox updated the game to tech test before a bunch of people got theirs updated by a whole day

[brittle river]

no emails just check the website

[flint tendon]

Anyone only apply through steam and never played get through?

[kind fog]

And I also added that if you did have it, it would show on your steam account, bro can not comprehend.

[final mauve]

Expired like my patience

[flint tendon]

Is the steam app just filler ppl?

[brittle river]

then u didn’t get in

[final mauve]

No shit

[tame nacelle]

No some people through steam only did get in

[flint tendon]

But were they already included in alpha previously?

[final mauve]

Did you get in?🫩

[tame nacelle]

No.

[tame nacelle]

No.

[inner vector]

Via an email sent to them? I'm curious on behalf of some friends who only applied through steam. I did both but got access via the survey.

[final mauve]

Look at me rn🫠…so much for 1 fucking Alpha i got like 3 days to play

Thaaaanks mother nature, for DESTROYING EVERY PITTSBURGH GRID

[brittle river]

no emails were sent out and if you got in through steam you’ll get a steam notification or it’ll appear in your library

[flint tendon]

At least you got that, didn't get into anything

[tame nacelle]

No it'll say on steam specifically "you're invited" or "you're in;"

[pearl drift]

Bungie done messed up not giving me a code…. They are gonna feel this one

[final mauve]

Yeah an alpha vs a beta now

[brittle river]

this isn’t a beta

[flint tendon]

Still only been seeing 'second hand' confirmations of non previous players

[proven kernel]

this is still very much an alpha.

[final mauve]

We havent even gotten to beta still???

[pearl drift]

It’s no longer an alpha they reverted back to pre-alpha

[final mauve]

Jee-zuz Bungie you outdone yourselves

[final mauve]

Nuked to canceled 😁

[proven kernel]

technically technical test technicality

[final mauve]

If not everyone can in, no game should exist

[sweet basin]

lmao

[brittle river]

someone’s mad they didn’t get in

[final mauve]

Pls AWS do another oopsies

[wintry pond]

Idk why theyre calling it a technical test if they’re gonna want us to give feedback on like, visuals and stuff

[final mauve]

I don’t like losing, period

[brittle river]

cause it’s something that exists in the game

[proven kernel]

it’s a common name used….

[wintry pond]

“Public alpha test 2”

[final mauve]

Not exactly public if its closed

[covert valley]

nice the test ends right before Arc raiders comes out

[sweet basin]

did you sleep at all last night?

[wintry pond]

Publicly closed to the public

[final mauve]

I fell asleep at 3am and woke up at 7

[sweet basin]

daamnnn

[final mauve]

I am off 800mg of caffeine

[proven kernel]

you need to get your beauty sleep.

[sweet basin]

you’re going to explode dude

[trail shard]

When dose it go live like time wise

[tame nacelle]

Deliver de alpha de sooner de better de later de alpha de madder I getter

[final mauve]

That only happens on weekends

[worldly sigil]

technacial test is fine but idk why they dont call it a beta test since there soon to release.

[final mauve]

I have to keep writing my ideas for:
My game since 2019
Another game I came up with
And a B-List movie script😅

[sweet basin]

200mg has me feeling like im flying

[covert valley]

Maybe they're doing a beta closer to release. Who knows

[dreamy oracle]

Because it’s a technical test

[proven kernel]

i don’t think it’s been announced exactly what time (inb4 someone corrects me)

[final mauve]

I am a deep sleeper and I was true to my word that Id sleep only if I passed out playing Gears 5

[idle cave]

The announcement says 10 am pt. No?

[flint tendon]

Announcement feels like hope bait tbh

[final mauve]

I was on demon time during those matches

[sweet basin]

gotta live to see it finished dude. Take a nap or smth later

[proven kernel]

probably. i just don’t remember lol.

[covert valley]

Yup

[tame nacelle]

I think this test will be low four digits again. If at all.

[final mauve]

I think the concern should be moreso the roads I take everyday😅
The drivers on it suck, and i almost get in a head-on daily

[marsh rover]

anyone receive a key yet?

[sweet basin]

meee

[proven kernel]

hi

[charred shadow]

Not me

[twilit falcon]

emails didnt go out but you can check the bungie site

[marsh rover]

OH will do

[idle cave]

Do we have any form of confirmation that there will be invites sent out today? Hard to keep up with the info tbh

[proven kernel]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

[sweet basin]

real, driving almost doesn’t feel worth it anymore

gonna snatch up a bus pass soon

[proven kernel]

all we know is that there will be waves. no idea when or how many.

[outer patio]

i put my hands up inm the air sometimes

sayin ayoooo gotta letttt go

[sweet basin]

lol

[outer patio]

i wanna celebrate and live my life

[charred shadow]

What if it says the code has already been redeemed? I did the first playtest. Old code?

[outer patio]

saying ayyyo baby lettts go

[final mauve]

Anyway in spite of: my frustration at the entire situation of Bungie’s miscommunication, and lack thereof; consistent mood swing pulls and negative reception to closed testing made publicly available; and the feeling of being an envious narc because I dont like people and think everyone else exists just to make me better as an obstacle in my way, I have decided that I will give updates on my game and mod ideas I have

[idle cave]

Reallllyyy hoping they do a new wave today to invite more people that haven't played yet. Cuz I feel like the vast majority of people invited so far are those that have already played

[outer patio]

cuz we gon rock this club, we gon go all night

[covert valley]

Then you're in. Just reinstall the launcher on your console/pc

[outer patio]

we gon lighjt it up, like its dynamite

[sweet basin]

gen chat breaking out into song

[sturdy bison]

The not getting access again is so corney

[marsh rover]

hmm i opened bungie.net. what am I looking for? a notification?

[brittle river]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests

"Expired" = Gotta wait

"You've been selected" = Gotta wait but for Wednesday so you can play

If you play on steam it should appear as “closed tech test” on your library

[proven kernel]

we like to do karaoke on occasion.

[idle cave]

Yea. It really blows. I want nothing more then to give proper feedback, but feel like its so limited and such a privilege to play at this point.

[tame nacelle]

Last parts wrong. If it says play on steam you're in

[final mauve]

Something has been taken, from deep inside of me
someone please tell me you know this song

[marsh rover]

well either way

[wet mirage]

Heard somewhere that the expired thing is a bug, hope?????????!?!!!!?’vvnvn n nvm igiofusususus

[final mauve]

A secret Ive kept locked away, no one can ever see

[marsh rover]

seems like I wasn't one of the lucky ones

have fun for me out there homies

[final mauve]

Wounds so deep they never show, they never go awayyyy

[idle cave]

Its a bug for those who in bnet it code redemption, it says it was already redeemed.

To my understanding anyway.

[final mauve]

Like moving pictures in my head, for years and years theyve played

[wet mirage]

Then the hope must be hoping we get a code within the next few days

[final mauve]

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

[fallow arch]

do codes get sent throughout the day?

[final mauve]

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

[winter tulip]

@tame nacelle is this real? based on what u said i do not think so. (as steam applications are not related to site applications)

[final mauve]

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would, If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

[wet mirage]

What I’m curious about is why seemingly nobody from Europe has gotten access yet despite being eligible

[final mauve]

Some have

[wet mirage]

First I’m hearing about it

[wet mirage]

Any uk people? Or do we not count

[sweet basin]

couple EU people in another server i’m in got in

these tests are just kinda limited in terms of numbers

[sterile cedar]

Marathon Weekend 🍆 💦

[sweet basin]

and yeah one of them is UK

[final mauve]

And never moving forward so there’d never be a paaaath🎵

[wet mirage]

Well I should rephrase, I haven’t hear anyone from the uk getting access. I wonder if they’re maybe waiting till more invites are being sent out

[slender sundial]

Let me in Bungie 😭

[final mauve]

This song was always my favorite Linkin Park song

[wet mirage]

Nvm delayed reaction on my part then

[hoary sage]

Im UK and got in

[final mauve]

ITS EASIER TO RUUUN

[wet mirage]

What a lovely voice

[final mauve]

REPLACING THIS PAIN WITH SOMETHING NUUUMB

[sweet basin]

now sing something happy and nice

[warped frost]

Did Steam users need to do survey and hit the button on Steam? Confused how they would link discord from the Steam button vs survey 🤔

[tame nacelle]

Yes on the site if you applied via the survey link before it expired and it let you in via that method it'd say "You've been selected" as well as another one for like, previous alpha players I think. The steam play button would also be true but that's PC only. The title update was applied to steamid of the original alphagame in steam, the old title doesn't exist in any form, everyone got the title update.

[wet mirage]

How I be feeling without seeing the marathon test in my PS library (destiny and borderlands 2 are no longer enough)

[final mauve]

I listen basically to only Linkin Park😅

[final mauve]

RELEASE YOUR INHIBITIONS

[autumn fulcrum]

FEEL THE RAIN ON YOUR SKIN

[final mauve]

NO ONE ELSE CAN FEEL IT FOR YOU

[wet mirage]

RULES OF NATURE

[final mauve]

ONLY YOU CAN LET IT IN

ONLY YOU CAN LET IT IN

[final mauve]

NO ONE ELSE, NO ONE ELSE, CAN SPEAK THE WORDS ON YOUR LIPS

[shy abyss]

[final mauve]

DRENCH YOURSELF IN WORDS UNSPOKEN, LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN

[wet mirage]

Imma make a marathon edit and post it in the community art area to bribe bungie

[minor idol]

LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN

[wet mirage]

Guaranteed success

[final mauve]

TODAY IS, WHERE YOUR BOOK BEGINS! The rest is still unwritten

[tame nacelle]

If this works it damn sure didn't for me

[sweet basin]

yayy

[wet mirage]

I have a lucky charm

[wet mirage]

My lucky charm is that I don’t have one

Ahhh they locked the ART CHANNEL

[winter tulip]

so theres a chance that people who didnt full in survey got into the new test on steam? since that was announced pre survey)

[final mauve]

Now back to- the beginning, taking you back to day 1, the light was a blinding bright of 2 suns come down touch the ground we hang from, the rest can look back when yesterday comes once again I return to the same mistake, and the pleasure that i hate and the pain it makes turn around take a look back to see the darkness in a figure in the shape of me

[sweet basin]

😅

[final mauve]

Its, not an illusion, not seeing double
My mistakes shouldntve passed to todays new trouble
What i knew got lost in the shuffle and i cant go digging in yesterday’s rubble

[tame nacelle]

There's people who only did the steam survey that got in as opposed to the "full" survey on the website.

[winter tulip]

whats the steam survey?

[tame nacelle]

Steam "opt in" for the alpha

[final mauve]

Resolution - Linkin Park

[wet mirage]

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

[winter tulip]

oh - i fillde surveey, then got access on steam but site says expired

[trim walrus]

Has anyone else got another alpha code? I received one but PSN said it’s already been used

[winter tulip]

logging in to thee game and playing shows (permission denied account not provisioned or smtgh)

[fathom canyon]

Have fun everyone with a code. Hopefully I’ll get in during the rest of the week or whenever the next test is

[jaunty crystal]

[woeful creek]

Just got my email

[twilit falcon]

[shy abyss]

It’s the same code from the alpha. Look up marathon in your games library and redownload it. It should be updated for marathon closed technical test. It was the same for me

[vernal rain]

if you were in any of the other tests you can just download the game from last time

[wet mirage]

Just got an email from Spotify

[trail shard]

[spring sparrow]

[livid dew]

[pliant bramble]

[lean blaze]

[frank cove]

THIS IS FIRST WAVE EVERYONE AND THEY'RE DELAYED

[fallen summit]

Does anyone else's game code they got from the email say it was already used?

[vestal ocean]

this test will prove whether arc raiders or marathon comes out on top

[open meteor]

yaaa me too

[vernal rain]

#💬general-alpha-discussion is open now but I think that’s from the last test

[candid cobalt]

Can I ask a beta question here?

[silver tree]

Redownload the alpha client

[tribal tartan]

Also my guess

[delicate flare]

I did

[frail pilot]

i got my code and it says it was used 🥹HELP

[frank cove]

Yes, if you played the alpha it's the same code

It'll say used but you should be good

[silver tree]

Redownload the alpha client

[leaden oxide]

Not a difficult answer

[acoustic pier]

Were you in a previous test before?

[lone scroll]

Marathon is delayed indefinitely, it could be a year from release for all we know. They should really take as much time as they need to get it right.

[shy abyss]

Yes, just look up the marathon game in your library from previous playtest. You should be able to download it

[frank cove]

If you were in alpha it'll say it's been used. It's the same code from alpha

[frail pilot]

oh ok thanks

[oak badger]

Weird…..I just got one.

[silver tree]

No worries

[final mauve]

Time to destroy my tires with 80 in a 35 🫠

[spring sparrow]

checked my code redemption history and it says that my Closed Tech test code was already applied?

[wintry pond]

Oh I guess I didn’t provide my discord to the survey? I could have sworn I did for the first one….

[twin cloud]

I got my code

[potent pecan]

Hoping for wave 2 🤞

[teal python]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a different console for the playtest than was used prior? Is there anyone I can talk to to swap?

[final mauve]

This is wave 2

[waxen island]

OR OR!!! Both games will be good and you can like both games???????!?!!?!? I know, wild concept

[pliant bramble]

marathon is going to be game of the year 2026 and will outsell gta 6

[wooden fjord]

@kindred vigil we are actually so back

[little spindle]

Has anyone received a key that wasn’t in the first test?

[exotic wave]

If you already played the Closed Alpha it will say that. Just update the client.

[flat night]

Gib me key

[final mauve]

I WANNA HEAL, I WANNA FEEL, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS NEVER REAL!

[sweet basin]

see you on the news later when you hit somebody

[potent pecan]

Oh..... hoping for wave 3 haha 🥹

[narrow mango]

Hey there! That's an odd one, thanks for the heads-up - reaching out to you on the MarathonDevTeam account here shortly

[inland kelp]

It starts tommorow?

[spring sparrow]

my client got removed from my computer when they did that clear out earlier this month
