NA and EU

[hexed crag]

For xbox if you haven't been part of a previous playtest, do you have to wait for tomorrow to install, because it is not in the demos section to install

[compact sapphire]

I never play with prox because I'm not from the US and I dont do RP, I play the game

[junior sable]

na and eu

[keen fiber]

Well, 2,500 cities (as you have claimed) protested, peacefully. Which I guess completely diminishes the fact there may be a king? I don’t know, there’s probably a deeper argument to this but that one probably is a great start. I’d argue that the presidency doesn’t mean anymore than the royal family does to the Brits.

[simple oyster]

EU too supposedly

[snow ember]

taco should fly to moscow and stay with his buddies

[iron palm]

sorry but did anyone in the EU receive the invitation?

[hot rose]

sounds like the opening lines to a domain expansion

[valid dome]

NA and EU this time

[placid bane]

@iron palmno

[craggy lion]

Dw dog I've been thru every code wave and still no code this game isn't real

[hot rose]

im the exact same way. im there to win not rp

[hot perch]

The discord is just a front to trap people to farm them for bitcoin.

[rare zodiac]

how do i connect my discord for the playtest?

[glossy barn]

Dang it you caught on, everyone here is a robot but you

[craggy lion]

Yep

[iron palm]

and when will they send them to the EU?

[valid dome]

royal family doesn't have executive power to usurp the processes of the uk govt tbf :P

[foggy cedar]

And for steam access it's start at 22th ? not before ?

[hexed crag]

For xbox if you haven't been part of a previous playtest, do you have to wait for tomorrow to install, because it is not in the demos section to install

[shadow fog]

this makes more sense, these codes are for a fake game

[rare zodiac]

hey at least you have a MTHN tag

[obsidian plover]

WHEE

[dense olive]

I’ll have some Bitcoin 🤌

[paper sun]

NA and EU

[magic rose]

Ay man idk, and I'm not making a claim check the news about 7 million people in total across all those cities. Me personally I'd like to see trump out cuz his nonsense is actually affecting my country first hand

[iron palm]

and when will they send them to the EU?

[craggy lion]

They've gotta give me something to keep me in here

[cunning lagoon]

SOMEONE AT BUNGIE PLEASE READ THIS, STEAM USERS CANNOT ACCESS THE NDA BECAUSE THE SURVEY EXPIRED

[ionic venture]

Code has already been used nice

[paper sun]

They already did

[valid dome]

were you in a prior test already?

[vocal quail]

annoying that i ccant redeem my code, gonna play ninja gaiden 4 until someone else figures it out 😁

[simple oyster]

Were you in the previous test?

[ionic venture]

yes

[paper sun]

If you already have it on Steam, no need to worry, its the same code as the alpha (if you were previously on alpha)

[hexed crag]

For xbox if you haven't been part of a previous playtest, do you have to wait for tomorrow to install, because it is not in the demos section to install

[valid dome]

you should be good to reinstall your prior version then

[hot rose]

#marathon-feedback-chat

[paper sun]

Then you have nothing to worry about

[simple oyster]

Are you talking about signing up? sign ups closed

[dense olive]

It says that if you were in the alpha, if you got selected this time too you just had to redownload the game

[paper sun]

This

[wet mirage]

[cunning lagoon]

I don't know what I am allowed to say or not. but NO

[simple oyster]

What NPH said. You just redownload the alpha

[ionic venture]

was having trouble finding the old alpha client. got it tho. ty

[lethal socket]

The alpha dont appear in my library (xbox)

[silk sun]

they end on the 26th lol

[waxen island]

Ahh yes shouldve expected with my luck that I wouldn't get selected for this playtest as well

[hexed crag]

What do you do on xbox if you've entered the code but isn't in library

[iron palm]

But how many invitations do they send? Why haven't they received them for so many people? I've made a request on both the Bungie website and Steam, but nothing. This is the fourth beta I've tried, but they never send anything.

[cunning lagoon]

I'm not talking about signing up, I'm talking about people who got acceptance emails who can't get access

[silk sun]

its coming in waves, have faith

[magic rose]

You still have 5 days to be selected

[paper sun]

If you haven't received one, it means you aren't invited. Its not a guaranteed invite. "Only select few"

[zinc mantle]

Welcome to disappointment

[simple oyster]

Really? The initial invite I received said that sign ups closed on the 16th

[south trellis]

do we know tommorow europe release time?

[hot rose]

one thing that i should add if youve ever played destiny 2 the gunplay is similar to marathon which i think bungie does a phenomal job at

[paper sun]

26th

[silk sun]

nope, bungie website

[radiant cove]

How to enter in alpha discord server if I not invited in (idk if I redeem my discord account when sign up)

[bronze cobalt]

if you were invited on one platform can you change it to a different one?

[hot perch]

10 AM PT. you'd need to convert it to your timezone. Tomorrow

[paper sun]

I doubt it

[weak monolith]

Wheres the nda chat

[covert relic]

I don't resving nothing

[hot rose]

22nd

[valid dome]

This is the server, will be a different channel

[silk sun]

not open yet

[keen heath]

Maybe 4pm UK?

[waxen island]

Lol, get selected on the 5th day to only play for a couple hours

[magic rose]

No because most people that did still got the old platform they used

[hexed crag]

UK time is 18:00 playtest opens

[woeful marlin]

Are there going to be friend codes to give out last like last time? My friend got in but not me

[manic geyser]

same with me, never get any confirmations and I could somehow sign up to this test multiple times.. which made it look bugged. Even if I signed up and filled out the questionnaire and got the "complete" screen, afterwards if I clicked the link it would ask me to do it all over again

[hot perch]

No friend codes.

[pallid flume]

I’m so glad I made it in, Tau Ceti will belong to the martians

[bronze cobalt]

dang that sucks

[paper sun]

I don't think so

[magic rose]

It's ending on the 28th though so 2 days is still cool

[weak monolith]

What’s the uk release time for the alpha

[simple oyster]

They will be opening the NDA channels the morning of the tests. They will be adding NDA players every night if you didn't input your discord name when signing up

[iron palm]

but it doesn't make sense like this it's the fourth beta they're doing they can't put so few people in each time

[hot perch]

10 AM PT 22nd.

[hexed crag]

18:00

[paper sun]

Yes they can.

[proud pike]

Yay I was selected for tech test

[torpid horizon]

got mine code..

[weak monolith]

Please tell me 6 o clock today

[valid dome]

the last test had a few thousand people iirc, so it's not like it's a small sample size

[mortal flint]

im ready to not have access to the play test for a 2nd time lol

[simple oyster]

How do I get access to the NDA Discord?

• Join the official Discord at discord.gg/marathonthegame. We will add the Discord account name you provided during sign-up to our NDA’d section. Access for the NDA’d Discord channels can take up to 24 hours to update.
• For those joining after the test has begun, we’ll be conducting role grants daily in the evening for the duration of the test.
• For Steam users, you’ll need to take the survey you receive in-game to provide your Discord and Bungie.net account names.

[spring pebble]

guys how can I check if I was accepted?

[weak monolith]

I have work tomorrow

[torpid horizon]

back to back arc raiders now this ... so happy

[radiant cove]

How to prove and where to enter in chat?

[fierce minnow]

sure they can, its their game

[magic rose]

You'll get an email

[hot rose]

call off all week

[dense olive]

I never deleted my alpha so when I opened it a few days ago it said there was an update so I updated it and today I got the new invite code and it said if I played the alpha I just need to redownload the game. Hope that info helps some of yall

[magic rose]

Say you died

[weak monolith]

I’m basically on the edge of getting sacked for being absent

[spring pebble]

thank you

[sharp hollow]

guys good luck i love all of u

[valid dome]

'ill be better next week i swear'

[simple oyster]

IDK check the official wording I just posted above. I assume they will have some way to link your bungie acc and discord acc

[quick kite]

Hey I got invited to playtest on steam (I didnt have access before) but I dont have an email or any confirmation on the code redemption website. Am I not in?

[hot rose]

thats the tech

[fierce yoke]

Friend got a code and then said it’s unlikely he will play it 🤣🤣

[sleek pilot]

Thanks king I was worried

[hexed crag]

On xbox if it is the first playtest the code doesn't install in the games library

[valid dome]

What is the name of the game for you on steam library

[fierce minnow]

check email

[hot rose]

then maybe dont call off knowing this job market you might be cooked if you get sacked

[toxic dagger]

Same! I know we’re just “consoomers” and not really owed anything but the whole thing is sloppy tbh.

[weak monolith]

I’ll bring in my Xbox into work

[radiant cove]

Thank you bro 🐱

[quick kite]

Closed Technical Test. And I dont have an email

[hot rose]

tech

[valid dome]

then you're good

[raven granite]

Hello chat

[valid dome]

If you were in the prior alpha and you have 'closed technical test' on your steam library, you're in @quick kite

[quick kite]

Even if I dont have an email/anything on code redemption page/not in alpha chat? Sorry im paranoid and worried im not in

[iron palm]

yes most of them were streamers who gave the codes to their friends

[hot rose]

thats misscommunication from bungie its housekeeping

[quick kite]

I didnt have prior alpha access

[torpid horizon]

no that is wrong

[gleaming sundial]

Curious to see how the game has changed between the closed beta and this.

[exotic cargo]

Yeah on PS5 just redownloaded from Collections and it turned to Beta, didnt need to use the code

[magic rose]

Install it you're in

[hexed crag]

Entered code in xbox redeem but the game is not in xbox library?

[manic geyser]

been following the game religiously since it was announced and signed up for everything but kinda wish stuff was comunicated a little better.. just makes me feel bad about putting energy into it. I understand not everyone gets to test it but the communication part shouldn't be that hard

[gleaming sundial]

I got the email I was in this tech test

[weak monolith]

Yeah same, I was one of few who didn’t mind the first playtest

[hot rose]

lf2m apex ranked D3+

[simple oyster]

If you can see "you've been selected" when logged in and viewing the marathon playtest page on Bungie's website then you are in

[magic rose]

Check free games tab download it there

[unique tendon]

Bungie you forgot to send me an email

[gleaming sundial]

I thought the first playtest was pretty abysmal.

[valid dome]

that is only true of Playstation/Xbox, post above it is for Steam which confirms if it's in your library, you're in

[magic rose]

Did they ever state the demo for people they were looking for to test the game? I know the codes are supposed to be a lottery

[split spindle]

ANDY! GIVE ME A CODE AND I WILL PLAY GAMBIT WITH YOU

[gleaming sundial]

It was definitely a video game.

[spring sparrow]

what page is that?

[hot rose]

if thats the case i should have my email by now

[iron palm]

At this point I'm thinking that they already have people to give the codes to and they're making requests to enter just to see if we're interested

[misty owl]

are they doing codes in a rollout? or have they already sent all the codes out?

[fallen harness]

Yeah I also don't have access to the NDA channel but people were saying that they are going to open them up tomorrow

[valid dome]

there is no reason for the email, because you were in the CAT already. The CD Key you'd be sent in an email for steam is the same key you redeemed the first time, not required for you

[dense olive]

Roll out waves

[gleaming sundial]

I was in the first closed alpha and I still got an email for this test.

[simple oyster]

Idk if I can link it but it's a Bungie . Net page. Basically the same page you used to sign up unless you requested access directly through Steam

[magic rose]

I mean I did also get an email and I alr had the technical test installed days ago

[sterile compass]

No email.

[gleaming sundial]

My favorite memory of the first alpha test was rain coming through the side of a building.

[hot rose]

well i check the playtests page on bungie.. no code i check the redeem page on bungie no code i check my email no code. i think its wrong

[round igloo]

My code is the same code for the CBT right?

[valid dome]

I also got an email for my CD Key, but it's the same CD key as last test

[fallen harness]

I was not in the first test and I got a steam code for this one just to let others know

[round igloo]

Cause it says I'm in but my code is already used

[magic rose]

Yep same

[valid dome]

idk what to say, that's word of god from bungie

[spring sparrow]

yeah all i got is survey has expired

[brittle schooner]

any news guys?

[green oyster]

Wtf I got a new code and it says...already used. The f...the actual f.

[dense olive]

You just have to redownload the game

[iron palm]

Has anyone here received the code?

[round igloo]

That's what I figured

[hexed crag]

It's not in the free section or demo section of the xbox store.

[magic rose]

Aliens invaded earth 10 mins ago

[brittle schooner]

finally

[dense olive]

You’re good you just have to redownload the game

[simple oyster]

Sad news, you were not part of the first wave . They MIGHT be adding more people throughout the week but no promises

[twilit falcon]

the code allows you to download the game if you already have it downloaded itll say already used since it updeated from the beta

[valid dome]

there is no new code, thats your old code

[green oyster]

Can't redownload the game. Didn't download it to begin with this is my first time lol.

[round igloo]

Yeah I jus gotta redownload the game is all

[dawn tundra]

did bungie fumble a cbt rollout too? lol

[spring sparrow]

i got an email saying i was selected

[round igloo]

Are you on ps?

[jovial pagoda]

Who signed up for Steam and got an Xbox code?

[green oyster]

I am

[magic rose]

What's your platform?

[iron palm]

Has anyone here received the code?

[round igloo]

It'll be under your collection somewhere in the list

[magic rose]

just got my code but says i own it already?

I think on ps there's a way to do it from the ps app

[pseudo wolf]

Please when does the test start?

[golden herald]

How do you get a code?

[valid dome]

tomorrow iirc, not sure of the time

[magic rose]

By begging

[simple oyster]

Oh then you should be ok then. Sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to someone else. The other person said they didn't get an email

[hot perch]

10 am pt tomorrow

[dense olive]

Tomorrow

[magic rose]

can i give the code away?

[green oyster]

It's not. I actually am looking at my game list right now and it's not showing. Bungie definitely screwed up lol. I am fuming.

[pseudo wolf]

Thanks!

[round igloo]

Goto my games and then go to collection and it'll show all the games you've downloaded

[brittle schooner]

source?

[round igloo]

Or have a code for

[radiant pollen]

OH its tmrw

[valid dome]

code will be linked to your bungie acct iirc so I don't think so

[golden herald]

I need a code to try this game out

[magic rose]

thats fair

[manic brook]

im afraid its to late sir

[hot perch]

My source is that you just have to trust me bro

[pseudo wolf]

I had to create US playstation account because I lied in the form in April and i was given US code

[toxic dagger]

Right? You would think they’d be treading a little lighter with all the blowback they already have. Still super excited but kinda sucks seeing everyone have to waste energy on not knowing cause Bungie couldn’t send a general email saying you didn’t make it.

[gentle warren]

I have 25 bungie codes for my 25 accounts

[brittle schooner]

understable, have a nice day

[valid dome]

test admittance hasn't ended though so why would they send an email that you didnt get in

[hot rose]

let me get one of those accs

[lapis bridge]

I feel you there

[twilit falcon]

they will contiunue to send codes through the test so nobody hasnt made it yet

[valid dome]

the news post covering all the FAQ of the technical test explicitly says that codes will go out mid test, there is no miscommunication here yall gotta read the FAQs lol

[gentle warren]

You ask for too much

[tardy surge]

You really want to see a fat man

[hot rose]

i mean u got 25 accounts

[lone spire]

so i was told by a third party testing service im in the test but bungie hasn't sent me my codes -

[lilac lodge]

I got a chat warning bc of my old name :/

[dense olive]

IM GONNA GIVE IT SO HARD TO THE AI THIS GO AROUND! WHOS WITH ME?!

[hoary stratus]

[simple oyster]

Did you login? It did the same for me until I logged into my account

[river bolt]

How do I get a code???

[hoary stratus]

So no 2nd wave of codes?

[hoary stratus]

You had to join a survey

[valid dome]

not today, iirc we literally just got the first wave

[ashen sequoia]

I got my code on Xbox but it says it’s already been redeemed

[dense olive]

It will be waves of drops through the test

[river bolt]

I did it twice lol

[fallen harness]

Did they not say that steam invites will be going out till the 26th?

[simple oyster]

Give bungie 20k usd in Rupees

[cedar yoke]

@simple oyster Yeah I'm logged in, I'll just wait a bit

[hoary stratus]

Dudes I know... I was here last night when the first wave happened 😭

[dense olive]

You’re good just redownload the game from your library

[gentle warren]

I have received my 27th code for my 2 other accounts. The wave is over

[wide prawn]

then you wait to see if you get a code and you also might not

[sharp hollow]

[hot perch]

NDA channels open tomorrow.

[lilac lodge]

@hot perch thank ya

[iron palm]

a ok hahahahahaha

[wet mirage]

Today is wave 1, do not let the pessimism claim you

[valid dome]

yeah erryone way too wired about not getting a code for a game that isn't even open yet lol

[lilac lodge]

Guys they said waves you just have to have faith. You’ll get to play someday I truly believe that

[toxic dagger]

Truth

[grizzled verge]

pretty hyped to see what they been cooking up

[rare zodiac]

did you figure it out?

[spring sparrow]

does not work if they revoked access earlier this month fyi

[hoary stratus]

STAY STRONG BROTHERS ahh. But yeah i'm a bit down that I stayed until 3 AM to not get any code but i'm still hopeful I'll get one before going to japan

[iron palm]

but will they send out invites during the beta too?

[lilac lodge]

@rare zodiac opens tomorrow

[unique tendon]

😥 I couldn't get in the old playtest because I was eu and now there is eu access I can't either sadge. I really want to play try the game so badly

[valid dome]

yep, up until the last couple of days

[warm linden]

How is today wave 1 if codes went out yesterday

[rotund totem]

If you still have access you’re in

[rare zodiac]

no the discord section

[gentle warren]

Should’ve lied

[vast trench]

I got a invite but for the wrong platform. 🫠

[spring sparrow]

not if they revoked your access earlier this month

[lilac lodge]

@rare zodiac if you put your dc name in application it’s automatic tomorrow

[rare zodiac]

oh ok

[simple oyster]

They don't let you download the app again? Is this steam only or all platforms? I wouldn't know since I never deleted the app off of my stuff

[iron palm]

and how long will the beta last from the 22nd until?

[grizzled verge]

they use your bungie account aswell so the steam game in your library alone is not enough

[hoary stratus]

Rofl what code did u get

[warm linden]

Are more codes going out tomorrow

[spring sparrow]

steam

[wanton hemlock]

ok, was it a bad move to sign up with the Bungie form AND with steam? I see people saying if we did so we might be cooked

[mild goblet]

Probably

I think this morning was the second wave

I got my code at 12:10 pm EST

[vast trench]

I signed into steam 🤷‍♂️

[viral ruin]

@fallen harness was it from a bungie email?

Me and Kyo, but just us two, everyone else is cap.

[grizzled verge]

[lilac lodge]

I wonder how they decide who gets in

[hoary stratus]

Time zones buh. Today at 2AM in romania was the first wave which roughly is 12PM EST

[toxic wren]

It says my Xbox code was redeemed already. If I did the closed alpha a few months ago is that why?

[violet token]

marathon bout to make my whole week

[sage river]

Yes

[flat night]

Let me in test

[harsh mango]

Sorry, this survey has already expired.
my survey has been saying this, did i sign up before this wave lol?
i signed up before they posted stuff for what its worth

[pliant chasm]

100% would take a ps5 code

[misty hamlet]

can two people in the same household get in? i got in but my bf didnt. same as last time

[toxic wren]

Thanks!

[sage river]

Ofc

[fallen harness]

Ah okay I thought everybody in the world lived in NA mb

[hoary stratus]

I'm expecting tonight (or mid day for the americans) to be the 2nd wave

[simple oyster]

I would submit a ticket to Bungie directly

[valid dome]

you have the closed alpha badge, so you should already be in no cause you were in the last playtest?

[hoary stratus]

Lollllllllllllllllllll😂

[harsh mango]

nah its not guaranteed ^^

[magic rose]

lol

[dense olive]

I got my code this morning at 10:20am CST

[vast trench]

How does one start that process?

[iron palm]

and we don't know when the next wave will be?

[valid dome]

ah, they revoked your access? sadness

[misty hamlet]

also i missed the discord profile banner thing and i hope they run it again :(

[hoary stratus]

@fallen harness

[grizzled verge]

lets hope we can invite friends instead of random match making 🤞

[gentle warren]

Bungie actually has satellites that track your address and every move so no, only one code per town

[twilit falcon]

MarathontheGame

[hot perch]

No friend codes if that's what you mean?

[harsh mango]

they didnt revoke anything lol, everyone lost access a while back

[wet mauve]

hey, if we got in, how do we actually see the channels it said we could get access to that are nda safe lol

[valid dome]

no we didn't, only some people got the old playtest revoked

Mf we been getting news from the “marathon bulletin” same shit as last time no comms

[safe saffron]

Did anyone who wasn't in the alpha get into this test?

[valid dome]

the rest of us still have the closed alpha test, which has now become the closed technical test. if you have the closed technical test in your steam library atm, you're in @harsh mango

[gentle warren]

Your uncle is demented

[silk sun]

how did yk?…

[flat night]

I got 63 people in my server one person got in and it’s the same person who got in the last test cause she was the only one who got in last time aswell

[hot perch]

He can be demented and work at Bungo.

[fallen harness]

I was not in the alpha I got in this time

[twilit falcon]

i was only in the original beta not the alpha and I got in this one

[fallen harness]

Tragic 💔

[lilac lodge]

I was only in the original alpha test and got invited to this one

[safe saffron]

Oh ok cool

[iron palm]

ok what a shit like this though

[fallen harness]

Stg they can handle more people idk what they are cooking

[gentle warren]

Wdym not the alpha. There’s only been the alpha

[true prism]

Where is my code

[lilac lodge]

But I got to like level 59-65 for that first test so I guess I locked in

[safe saffron]

It's more like what are they smoking lmao

[flat night]

They are not cooking apparently

[valid dome]

there was a technical test long before the last alpha iirc

[teal pewter]

Have you played before?

[twilit falcon]

wasnt there a 2nd test after the one like forever ago LOL

[hot perch]

There was the Closed alpha, another closed technical after that, and this one.

i just want my boyfriend to get a key so i can play with him lol

[feral shard]

Where is the NDA section

[valid dome]

oooh right, it went alpha > tech test > now tech test 2

[hot perch]

Doesn't open until tomorrow.

[foggy gulch]

so after getting a PS5 code, psn says its already been claimed - is that normal?

[lilac lodge]

I’m guessing we can lfg once the nda discord channels crop up

[twilit falcon]

ok so i was in the alpha but not the technical and just got into this one

[valid dome]

if you played last playtest, just reinstall marathon

[teal pewter]

If you’ve already done a test before yea

[fallen harness]

We in the same boat I want my girl to get a key 💔

[feral shard]

If you played a technical test before Im assuming its the same thing

[simple oyster]

I'm ngl you might have to do shit in a roundabout way. They only have support access for D2 right now. Their Marathon help center is pretty barren. I would utilize the Bungie . net "help forum" and drop your concern there and hope someone sees it

[dense olive]

Yes just redownload the game from your library

[brisk cipher]

I just wanna destroy mida scum

[feral shard]

Can I stream to my friend in Discord?

[teal pewter]

We’re in the same boat I want a girl to give a key to 💔

[lone spire]

i got invited by a 3rd party but no code yet

[hot perch]

No, breaks NDA.

[brisk cipher]

NDA

[gentle warren]

You have said too much…

[silk sun]

no😡

[misty hamlet]

they let me in last time but not him and i feel like theyre gonna do it again this round lol. i dont even play bungie games, he does

[wet totem]

I already got my code and preinstalled. But how do I access the NDA server?

[lilac lodge]

This test will calm my marathon addiction until launch I’m so hyped. I hope they’ve made lots of changes

[valid dome]

this is the server, NDA channels arent open till test start

[rich dagger]

how to get the code? i just got a mail to login bungie.net but nothing happens

[hot perch]

NDA channels don't open until tomorrow

[simple dome]

English cant be that hard

[flat night]

Launch at the end of next year is far for just one test

[vast trench]

Thank you

[gentle warren]

How would they even find out lmao. Do whatever

[iron palm]

but will they bring it live or is it really closed this time and not like last time?

[obtuse pebble]

I can’t find the old version of marathon from my library and trying to redeem the code gives me an error that it’s already used. Is there a way to I can reach Bungie support regarding this? Or is this more of a Xbox support?

[lilac lodge]

@flat night it’s launching this fiscal year confirmed

[true prism]

Are they only sending codes to people who have played previously...

I just want to get in. I have applied 3 times and not once have I gotten a code
this is frustrating

[brisk cipher]

Its closed

[flat night]

Cap

[patent vortex]

What do you do if you get your code but it says it's already been used?😫

[valid dome]

if you're asking if they'll lift NDA at the last second like the alpha, who knows

[safe saffron]

We're already in Q4 lol

[wet totem]

No I never got one before but did this time

[dense olive]

Will they give $500 gift cards out this time if we play everyday

[tardy surge]

Don't play until i get the code, pls🥺

[silk sun]

if they don’t release it before march bungie will be hearing from me and 10 pounds of c4

[lilac lodge]

@flat night not cap according to Sony execs

[warm linden]

Do yall think codes go out today and tomorrow then it’s over?To me I don’t feel like there’s a point in releasing codes during the week if it’s only active for 6 days

[true prism]

ughhhh

[lilac lodge]

@tardy surge I’m pulling for you fr

[silk sun]

you could get in on the 26th

[flat night]

And when did they say this? August?

[valid dome]

my brother read the FAQ

[iron palm]

ok thx

[lilac lodge]

@flat night September after delay

[alpine shell]

mpreg

[silk sun]

March 31 is the end of their 2025 fiscal year so

[sage tangle]

Last time I got a code 2 days before it ended lol. Im already in this one though thankfully

[olive oracle]

Hi! As per the FAQ article, they will be sending out invites over the course of the playtest. https://help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/articles/41902890010644-Marathon-Closed-Technical-Test-FAQ

[echo helm]

[simple oyster]

I would drop it under PC support. I see that they have multiple official bungie accounts that go through the forum frequently. Latest reply from them was yesterday

[lilac lodge]

They said they feel confident it’s releasing before the end of this fiscal year and they would be smart to do so.

[flat night]

Can you read? Like actually read and understand what I’m saying?

[alpine shell]

same i barely had a good time

[patent vortex]

What do you do if you get your code but it says it's already been used?😫

[simple oyster]

Doesn't that end in March 2026? Sony said they would be willing to delay the game until it was in a respectable state

[valid dome]

you were in the CAT, so just reinstall

[lilac lodge]

If bungie can make the game compelling after arc raiders has shed some of its initial hype and leveled out they could make their own lane and be viable

[sage river]

We are supposed to get a release date this fall anyways

[gentle warren]

Can you smell? You’re shitting yourself

[silk sun]

You stated the game would drop at the end of next year, Im just correcting you muddy so yes i can read 😛

[zinc mantle]

Arc barely showed the surface lol

[dense olive]

IS THIS TOO BIG FOR MY BODY?

[simple dome]

The vagueness of these statements should be illegal

[silk sun]

arc is gonna be peak

[valid dome]

last news we have about any potential launch date was end of fiscal year 2025, so latest march 2026. anything else is speculation (though march isn't a garuntee)

[lilac lodge]

@zinc mantle I love arc but it comes out in a week. Marathon is probably launching 3-4 months from now

[gentle warren]

How much more do you think they got

[echo helm]

SEKIGUCHI FOREVER

[minor idol]

Damn my whole trio got in!!!!!!

[flat night]

They have plans for the next 6 years

[silk sun]

bro they only showcased 10% of the game

[shrewd agate]

Only myself got in lol

[zinc mantle]

A ton more, the server slam was so limited to even tech test 2. You will see!

[true prism]

Whens the next wave...

[safe saffron]

Marathon was supposed to release in September, so likely the tech test tomorrow is what the full game would have been if it had released on time

[echo helm]

Today they're sending codes just got mine

[empty arch]

I don’t play the game and I got in

[true prism]

:(

[tardy surge]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[gentle warren]

I can say this about anything.

[warm linden]

The game is expected to release before the end of Sonys fiscal year which is march 31st 2026

[simple dome]

Best multiplayer game i played in years so sad how people only saw the server slam versus tech test stuff

[lone spire]

anyoen else get invite from ptc

[lilac lodge]

@safe saffron 💯💯

[shrewd agate]

Do they give codes to anyone who previously participated?

[simple oyster]

A lot of people are just a little defensive on that topic as many games claim to show "x%" of the game but the full release never feels too much bigger. I trust that Arc Raiders is not lying and will be a much bigger game than shown recently

[gentle warren]

I have plans for this discord for the next 6 years

[zinc mantle]

So hyped for arc, I guess I'll just have to wait for arc if bungie doesn't want me in their playtest.

[true prism]

Didn't it just happen? Checking my email and got nothing.
So whens the next one...

[tardy surge]

Concord also had some plans lil bro

[flat night]

I mean they literally already said they have updates planned for the next 6 1/2 years content wise

[mossy oracle]

Weird, I got an E-mail, but still saying "Sorry, this survey has already expired."

[hot perch]

They can, but not garunteed.

[silk sun]

agreed mudd, the tech test had way more too which is crazy

[simple dome]

If tech test 2 was 20% this server slam was no joke like 5%

[echo helm]

You're not guaranteed

[lilac lodge]

@zinc mantle Both have potential to be great games in excited for both to learn from each other and improve

[wicked anvil]

schrödingers marathon code

[faint sedge]

when did you get it?

[nocturne sable]

I got in ! Woo!

[shrewd agate]

I got one myself

[valid dome]

concord was also a mega gargantuan budget that had to succeed right out of the gate or else it was a total disaster, as we saw. most games dont come anywhere near close to that risk lvl

[scenic meteor]

Exactly arc raiders is gonna be well and done release people will be sinking their teeth into and when Marathon finally releases arc raiders prob gonna drop massive content drop so marathon gonna have a rough road

[flat night]

Yeah and Sony made Concord and it wasn’t as hyped up as arc raiders massive difference cause Sony doesn’t care if their games fail as long as they keep players on their platform

[alpine shell]

NDA stands for Nucaloric Deficiency Absorption.

[mossy oracle]

The E-mail? Two hours ago

[silk sun]

God i’ve seen what you can do for others 😔

[zinc mantle]

Even having more workbenches in TT2 was amazing, it changed the dynamic of gun fights and how people played. I have more trust in Embark than bungie. I just wanted to try marathon bc I had hype, but honestly they have killed it for me with no access.

[shrewd agate]

Nice! Need a duo?

[flat night]

Exactly

[zinc mantle]

Competition is always good for the gamers!

[simple oyster]

If you played on console you can just redownload the app from the previous test. If you need a new code, login to your bungie . net acc and go to game access in their "redeem code" tab. If you were provided access, the code should be there. Give at least 12 hrs to populate the tab

[simple dome]

Concord also was just inherently bad with no passion put in only large checks

[lilac lodge]

@scenic meteor and bungies gotta be ready to compete. Arc won’t be the new kid on the block anymore once they’ve established a player base from launch to march next year. They will need to deliver and respond to feedback almost immediately

[hushed coral]

Do you have to request access to the NDA chat? I saw I should have access to it in the email I recieved

[nocturne sable]

Def

[hot perch]

NDA channels don't open till tomorrow

[true prism]

seriously pissing me off

[valid dome]

wouldn't go that far, a loooot of artists working on that title who did some killer work. Plenty of passion, just a serious Titanic moment where they had very poor direction and thought they'd be too big to fail

[silk sky]

Got the code but it doesn’t work…

[unborn badger]

had some concord concept art show up on my pinterest tl before they did look pretty interesting

[flat night]

Embark has big passion atleast enough passion to link their hyper futuristic game with their hyper apocalyptic games together

[simple dome]

Only thing thatll differ marathon is the raid like mechanics they better go in depth or it might not be as fun on launch especially with arc having huge quarterly updates

[shrewd agate]

Untrue. Destiny 1 alpha vet, I got in twice

[lilac lodge]

@shadow mantle been playing since the beta on ps3 and got a code

[tardy surge]

I’m just saying that plans and roadmaps don’t necessarily equal reality or reflect what the actual content and its quality will be in the real game, brochacho

[safe saffron]

I feel this too. They're trying to expand their audience

[valid dome]

i put down played halo/played destiny and got in the first CAT

[hot perch]

D1 Beta vet, got CAT code and this one.

[unborn badger]

idk why y'all thinking being a destiny vet automatically bumps your chances lol it's literally entirely random

[alpine shell]

redownloaded but im assuming the playtest is only playable in short burst throughout the day? says its undergoing maintenance?

[zinc mantle]

Because bungie likes to disappoint their community.

[simple dome]

Id rather have shit art and a fun game tbh no marketing gotham city imposter looking characters but trying to be serious game was meant to fail

[gentle warren]

I have never touched destiny 2 where code

[shrewd agate]

@nocturne sable Dm’ed ya

[valid dome]

some of yall need to chill out a bit, it's a week beta for a videogame they dont hate you because you didn't get lucky on the lottery the first of multiple waves

[lilac lodge]

@simple dome I agree we need some leviathan level sauce from the pve for marathon to create that hook that makes people wanna invest the 40 dollars I think it’s possible tho

[tardy surge]

I'm not in automatically

[simple oyster]

I think something people are kind of blind of is the subgenres of extraction shooters. Bungie may not be able to compete with Arc Raiders but also may not have to. If their style of extraction shooter is less gritty and more arcade-like then it will attract it's own audience separate from Arc

[hot perch]

Correlation not causation?

[zinc mantle]

For the last 6 months 🧐

[velvet carbon]

this is my first time in.

[unborn badger]

and that still doesn't correlate to destiny vets getting a bigger chance idk what you're getting at 😭

[potent pecan]

Bungie community tries to not be toxic. Near impossible

[mossy oracle]

I appreciate this mate, I did play the Alpha but on Steam, the client just says purchase, no update or anything. My redemption history shows a code redemption yesterday, but no extra tab like the Alpha, just an E-mail, no code yet!

[merry hare]

If you played the previous alpha then just download it again

[balmy oar]

Hey, I tried to sign up for the playtest this October, but after logging in with Steam, I'm stuck in a loading screen.

[unborn badger]

whiney chat hours cuz waa waa I'm a destiny vet why am I not in this company sucks

[valid dome]

it happens bro, i sign up for alphas/tech tests for games all the time and probably get in about 10 a year. friends of mine see me post about it and go 'wtf how did you get in'. its all luck

[flat night]

First I’m not ur brochacho ur friend or ur lil bro so knock it off ur not 13. 2nd they won’t show roadmaps because they don’t want to make promises and then them get delayed and people be disappointed. 3rd the finals was amazing and they put a ton into that game. 4th we have already seen the quality of arc raiders and its fantastic the linking of the finals and arc raiders through lore the gunfights are good the ai are brutal as intended and its got great potential story wise

[simple dome]

I think its possible too but isk bungie dev team has been a shit show for 5 years pve elements could make this game amazing i just expect nothing from bungie anymore

[silk sky]

Had the invite but wasn’t around so never downloaded

[lilac lodge]

@simple oyster I think they will need to make the base kit and abilities for the raiders much more interesting and unique to capture that arcade feel. Progression and starting point for the new player experience will establish the arcade or hardcore vibes

[scenic meteor]

They’ll have people just not u

[merry hare]

Maybe its still in your library? That stinks!

[tardy surge]

Sure unc

[zinc mantle]

You're probably the demographic they are looking for.

[valid dome]

you have not seen the NDA chats for the prior tests, a tooon of info

[gentle warren]

The man who has gotten in before says don’t get mad. You are The rich saying “money doesn’t bring happiness” to the homeless person

[unborn badger]

I hope you stretched before that reach lol

[limpid lintel]

Anyone else getting the code already used error when redeeming for the test?

[valid dome]

yeah, someone who does a lot of betas and tests with a record of bug reporting/submitting feedback is probably who they want

[balmy oar]

guys ? can u help me, I tried to sign up for the playtest this October, but after logging in with Steam, I'm stuck in a loading screen

[simple oyster]

I would wait until later in the day. I didn't receive my confirmation until end of yesterday. If you are TRULY afraid of being left behind, input a forum concern on bungie's help forum under PC support

[flat night]

Guarantee you that I’m not an unc ur probably 40 sitting in ur moms basement playing video games 24/7

[valid dome]

bro it's a free beta for a videogame lol half the people upset here just want a game to play for a week anyhow, not even interested in 'testing'

[zinc mantle]

Not the gamer that games 10 hrs every day, makes sense.

[lapis tangle]

When do discord roles get given out for the test? I got selected yesterday but still do not have the roles, my understanding is they were rolled out nightly? edit: tomorrow

Watch them play it for 3 days, hate it, leave no feedback.

[unborn badger]

then I don't think you've been in any playtests before 💀

[lilac lodge]

@simple dome I get that too I’ve largely kinda pulled back from destiny for a few years now but only got pulled in bc I got into the first marathon test without expecting to. I hope the resources and attention they’ve taken from destiny was enough to get this game complete come march

[shrewd agate]

Ditto

[zinc mantle]

I put in 46 hrs over the weekend into the arc server slam...

[safe saffron]

How is that a flex

[proven kernel]

Eventually. It will be automatic.

[valid dome]

did you read the conversation leading up to this or just that one post lol

[mossy oracle]

I'll leave it a day first, then mention it in any private channels/contact help. Thank you mate!

[flat night]

Weren’t there theories that Destiny and marathon were like in the same universe or multi verse or something?

[safe saffron]

I did lol

[modern siren]

what is that NDA?

[unborn badger]

people giving feedback or not's not a point to flaunt in a hypothetical cv you're somehow gonna use to get in the playtest when the recruitment method's already entirely voluntary and random lmao

[gray nexus]

If I denied the email notification to see if i'm part of the playtest, it said i could check that very page at the end of the form to see if I made it in. But after bookmarking it and accessing it from a new tab, it lead me to the form again as if i hadn't registered. Does anyone know how i can check if i'm not getting an email?

[lilac lodge]

@flat night I mean isnt mida from marathon

right so you'd realize that the dude im responding to is acting like 10 hrs of gaming a day is the criteria to get into the beta :V it doesn't make a difference what your hours are last weekend that's not weighted into it lol

Absolutely. I put my trust in their hands. I believe we will see some good sauce tomorrow

all this advertising and it's 1 (one) announcement 😭

Seems like you're not the only person who has had this problem. I have recommended that you go to Bungie's help forum and drop the concern there. Seems like they have a team who frequently checks it

but it actually makes me do the form, even after logged in

[balmy oar]

what time

[lilac lodge]

All these people begging for codes I need this ferocity at launch so this game continues to get made

They said they will do an open test eventually who knows when tho

[valid dome]

10 PST iirc

[hot perch]

10 am PT

[limber moss]

are you on steam

[sage river]

Yea ik, I was in the last one before I deleted my discord account. Since the first one was supposed to be NDA then they removed it. Then this playtest had a bunch of ads as well

[flat night]

Correction if you look at my online status I’m on a phone AT WORK not that you know what a job is

[lapis tangle]

oh that is odd. double check it is the same platform you originally signed up with, otherwise it sounds like a bungie support issue (which i doubt they are providing any support for marathon access)

[balmy oar]

thx

I've seen people say 10 am pacific time

[tardy surge]

Work harder unc

[gray nexus]

oh nvm, i got survey expired when i refreshed. I guess i keep revisiting until i see i'm in, or not?

[flat night]

Ur also defending marathon which is nowhere near release and arc raiders is launching next week so

[unborn badger]

crazy what not getting in makes y'all do now y'all wishing this game got like 3 more delays cuz rng didn't favor you 💀 💀 💀

[lilac lodge]

@simple oyster lol idk it could be possible but I need good community sentiment and positive PR for at least 6 months after launch then needs a free to play component for that to even be somewhat possible

[lilac lodge]

I’m usually the first to call out unnecessary glaze and corporation defending but wanting to see marathon succeed while in their discord server is objectively not insane

[unborn badger]

not really when opinion intensity positively correlates with hype and negatively correlates with feedback usability and very clearly demonstrated by the likes of you lol

[valid dome]

Do you think you are explicitly more special than anyone else who got into the test who is going to provide feedback? what a weird stance

[safe saffron]

Agreed dawg. I'm no saint but the internet is a hellscape nowadays

[gray nexus]

this playtest is the only thing that will probably save me from my arc raiders withdrawal, i NEED to get in

[finite python]

At least according to reports of other players on reddit and here, there were at least 3-4 that we have heard about. Unknown if there couldve been more than that.

[unborn badger]

give em grace until you can't 💔

[tawny relic]

when is the game fully releasing

[glad fern]

No it just means that they aren’t ready to showcase anything to the public yet. They don’t want to add something and then get backlash when it doesn’t work and they switch it out.

Gosh gen chat is filled with people who don’t stop and think for 1 second lol

[mild goblet]

[glad fern]

Got my email this morning, but I knew I was already in a week ago

[sage river]

That what I heard originally, I just remembered when I deleted my discord account. I had this weird feeling there was more playtest being pushed out for people who were already in the original playtest. Then on Reddit I saw people were but under a NDA then some article talked about gift cards 😂

[unborn badger]

oh cuz demeaning every other person who got in through random chance while I didn't will surely get me in

[little walrus]

im guessing the clsoe test is tmr?

[shrewd agate]

Anyone on PS5 dm me

[valid dome]

Obviously they're interested in hearing what the older players think of the changes since the last time we played, why would they not want that data?

[lilac lodge]

@shadow mantle dex I get your upset but there will be a time when the game is out or a massive public play test happens and you’ll forget all the time you spent upset about not playing.

[unborn badger]

surely putting everybody's worth down to show my own's gonna highlight me as a prime candidate

[grim sinew]

For me the link just says expired and service alert like the page is down

The screen says If you previously played during Public Alpha, you can just update or re-download the game from your library.

I seriously haven't had that much fun playing multiplayer in 2 decades. Not saying I haven't had fun, but ARC is something visceral, something special.

Ok thanks

[lapis tangle]

If it says survey expired just keep looking, mine updated from that to "Selected"

[flat night]

It’s so easy to go broke in arc but also so easy to come back from being broke

[gentle warren]

This means NOTHING everything will be a memory later on

[gray nexus]

all the little details, the animations, sounds, music, come together to make it a truly unique game

[unborn badger]

man I got a uni assignment to deal with instead of ts lol I'm out

[zinc mantle]

I had $700k 💰💰💰

[shrewd agate]

Do we get any codes for friends? How long does this test go for

[lilac lodge]

@gentle warren you’re Traxus gang and I apologize.. I misspoke you deserved to get in

[barren walrus]

The come-ups are what I live for, on that free loadout!

[safe saffron]

Good luck and good grades

[valid dome]

the people who played the game and submitted feedback, who now would like to see the changes based on their feedback :P

[minor idol]

Grown men in here crying about not getting into a closed alpha lmao

[gentle warren]

25 years from now yall won’t even remember this discord. Why yall here

[gray nexus]

which is what i was hoping marathon would do, let's see if they do, hope i get access

[mild goblet]

22-28, no friend codes

[hot perch]

No friend codes, till the 28th

Hell yeah!

It won't let me reinstall marathon I got the key but it's telling me to reinstall but how I can't even find it

Imagine signing to NuCaloric…eternal aura debt

I'll remember it when I'm 62, but it won't matter.

I got in off a goat sacrifice. Y'all praying to the wrong dieties

[sage river]

Is it pc or console?

[wanton pecan]

is something up with the servers? says they’re unavailable

[valid dome]

surprise, the people who got into the test are a bit happy to not be playing with someone so abrasive :V

[trail shard]

Guys no need to be rude

[unborn badger]

b-but food...but cool...cool food...

[shrewd agate]

Opens tomorrow

Can you forgive me

[wanton pecan]

i see okay, thank you

[proper heath]

Console

[olive oracle]

Hi! Is this in reference to Destiny 2 or Marathon?

[shrewd agate]

Yup! You on ps5?

[noble schooner]

The tech test starts tomorrow. I just hope there will be some improvements.

[gentle warren]

Are abrasive people not good for testing

[proven kernel]

Might trying looking at the console app on mobile. People have been able to force download it onto thier consoles.

Just wait till full release on prox chat 😈

@unborn badger you either bleed orange or you’re unloved by a dying universe

[halcyon sage]

Go to Redeem Code in the Xbox store

[sage river]

Xbox or PS? Sine I heard PS Having issues

[lilac lodge]

I’m only sparing Traxus gang once próx chat is added to the game

[merry sleet]

hello i got the closed test access but how do i get the role? i joined the server after i got access

[unborn badger]

traxus shill 💔

[valid dome]

People frothing at the mouth to get into a videogame test and crashing out on main when they don't get in instantly (when we know there are multiple waves!) probably aren't likely to be the most critically minded thinkers, yea lol

[hazy jasper]

Im having issues on PS, it says my code has already been used

[finite python]

Suffice to say Bungie has been doing playtests since the alpha.

And this playtest is the first one they have mentioned publically since they went dark publically May/June.

[lime thorn]

If your code won't redeem just download the tech test in your owned games

[proper heath]

I did but it says I own this product

[shrewd agate]

Ok tough guy

[unborn badger]

viva la revolution 😹 ✌️

[lilac lodge]

THANK YOU SENSEI

[hazy jasper]

Same, code already in use

[zinc mantle]

I have great critical thinking skills sir

[alpine kite]

Can wait to jump back in to see what’s new

[sage river]

From my understanding, if you were in the original playtest and deleted the game. You have to go through the library to find it again

[scenic meteor]

wtf

[gentle warren]

Everyone needs to sit down and smile 😊

[noble schooner]

That's exactly what I did.

[valid dome]

I hope they didn't tune down the AI enemies at all, they were delightfully dangerous in the CAT

[proven kernel]

I know right

[simple oyster]

We knew about the summer test. It was definitely more hidden than this one but it was known by anyone with an obsession for this game

[tardy surge]

You're cooked bro

[glacial kestrel]

When does the closed alpha begin

[merry sleet]

anyone ??

[sage river]

Still nothing? 😭

[hot perch]

Do I have to smile? Or can I just be happy?

[alpine kite]

Yeah just re download from library

[valid dome]

sorry you didnt get into the tests yet lil bro i wish i could make you feel better, hopefully you get in by the 26th

That’s like 44 years away for me

[noble schooner]

I actually searched for it and I found it.

[gentle warren]

You’ll get it later

[lilac lodge]

@scenic meteor wait scoob I didn’t mean it plus you can always transfer

[simple oyster]

How do I get access to the NDA Discord?

• Join the official Discord at discord.gg/marathonthegame. We will add the Discord account name you provided during sign-up to our NDA’d section. Access for the NDA’d Discord channels can take up to 24 hours to update.
• For those joining after the test has begun, we’ll be conducting role grants daily in the evening for the duration of the test.
• For Steam users, you’ll need to take the survey you receive in-game to provide your Discord and Bungie.net account names.

[sage river]

😭 honestly, I’m just taking other words and helping. I’m not the greatest tech support

[barren walrus]

You can call me UNC

[noble schooner]

Just type "Marathon" in the search bar of your library and you should be able to find it.

[proven kernel]

It will be automatically assigned later.

[scenic meteor]

I can’t transfer Nucal my home we got the eats

[merry sleet]

thanks

[viral ruin]

Someone at bungie should just hit the button to give everyone a code in discord

[tardy surge]

Lil bro fr

[sage river]

Oh dam, I never deleted mine originally. Had this weird feeling something was gonna come up soon

[flat night]

I been an unc since I was born 😭

[mild goblet]

Their servers would explode

[scenic meteor]

Bootane is official head chef for Nucal

[barren walrus]

You can call me unc too

[simple oyster]

Scooby Doo would 100% join NuCal just for the food

[flat night]

Alr thanks for confirming ur 40 in ur moms basement

[viral ruin]

@mild goblet true haha

[barren walrus]

Haha. What age is unc status?

[flat night]

By the time I’m 62 you’ll be 84

[shrewd agate]

Anyone here get a PS5 code?

[simple oyster]

19+

[unborn badger]

everybody forgets the D2 server queues every expansion 💀

[gentle warren]

I don’t even know the factions. I just like the name

[north tangle]

Funny how people that never requested accesso received an invitation and people like me that requested access like 3 times and are truly interested in the game never got selected

[flat night]

Oh I was just born an uncle so I just say I been an unc since I was born cause my oldest brother has 3 kids older than me

[noble schooner]

My only hope for the closed tech test is that they listened to all the feedback from the closed alpha test and made improvements.

[barren walrus]

Wait fr? kek

[real portal]

Hmm

[flat night]

In that case I’m not an unc

[sage river]

Second this and adjust the rain LMAO

[viral ruin]

@north tangle I dont think thats true

[tardy surge]

Cool

[flat night]

Didn’t ask u

[tardy surge]

😔

[outer dew]

How do I get in contact about my code saying it’s already been used for the new closed tech test. I just got the email and it says my code is already redeemed somehow

[simple oyster]

Dropping it down to 16+ just for you buddy

[alpine kite]

I was on ps5 the first play test i wonder if the ps5 pro will look better

[cunning onyx]

🇳 🇮

[unborn badger]

from what's already leaked and too far gone for bungie to cover up again things sounded pretty good

[vague ore]

There weren’t any queues for EoF (We love rapidly declining playerbase)

[valid dome]

we are far out from launch lol stress tests don't happen during this dev phase, that's way more likely in the last couple months

[slow dagger]

got a lot of doomers here mann

[flat night]

Well then I been an unc for the last couple years in that case

[unborn badger]

no leak talk here tho so I'll leave it at that

[barren walrus]

Can someone fill in an unc on what this means => 🫃🏻

[simple oyster]

Probably not. Just more stable

[river blaze]

Game dissapear feom library on ps 5, in store same thing, where client??

[sage river]

Were you in the last playtest by any chance?

[gaunt sphinx]

if you were part of the original closed test, it will say that. just update ur client

[proven kernel]

[tardy surge]

The release isn’t anytime soon why do they even need it?

I look through my xbox library and I can't find marathon but it says to reinstall

Game was addictive lol. Played like 40 hours. It will only get better

oh hi dante...

[sage river]

Reinstall it

[unborn badger]

hi dante...

[olive oracle]

Oh hai….

[simple oyster]

During the arg, people got really obsessed with the mpreg emoji and it became a sort of staple to this discord

[outer dew]

I’m redownloading it now maybe that’ll work then

[flat night]

So that the servers knowing bungie will hold up on launch seeing as bungie has terrible servers

[outer dew]

That’d be dope

[proper heath]

Lol I can't find it though

[trail shard]

Question for those who played alpha is there anything you guys didn’t like that you would like to see improvement on when the technical test opens

[sage river]

It should, since they didn’t move us to a different marathon

[proven kernel]

I'm eating tacos and working on my speed reading skills

[gentle warren]

All the food the fat man eating just waiting…

I’ll dm ya

It’s really not, it’s just weirdos that keep spamming it

Anyone play the other extraction shooter this weekend?

[clever sand]

Ok I’m dumb…where is the nda located or it hasn’t been posted yet?

[outer dew]

Ok cool that works

[final mauve]

You snost
You lost

[barren walrus]

I keep seeing it in the ARC disc too

[sage river]

💀 oh well, time to shake the Xbox make it will come out uk lol jk don’t, maybe context bungie? Or a mod here

[gentle warren]

How fast did it take you to read this

[lilac lodge]

@scenic meteor well then it’s war

[slow dagger]

nda was part of the sign ups

[simple oyster]

It was still everywhere during the arg phase 😭

[sage river]

Yay

[unborn badger]

mpreg react this man

[flat night]

That’s cause it’s a thing everywhere not just in discord

[proven kernel]

idk

[obsidian plover]

ARRRRGH

[exotic wraith]

What?

[tardy surge]

Well, they can do that in later tests, closer to the release. Why would they need it now? I doubt they’re planning to test the servers for stability at this stage of development

[stone grail]

You snooze you lose

[final mauve]

Marathon infinity scenario that was made lel.
The Extraction Shooter

[unborn badger]

oh my god john mida lurking in chat wtf

[lilac lodge]

They should do something like hell divers or guardian games where you can devote resources or points for your faction. Fun way to create social engagement

[valid dome]

yeah i have a great Mpreg edit i used a lot in the Deadlock discord

[clever sand]

Ok

[slow dagger]

peak game

[valid dome]

luv me deadlock

[finite python]

None of the tests we heard about came from Bungie announcing them. It was reports from people under NDA.

Last we heard from Bungie prior to this upcoming test was essentially:

• We are delaying the game to make it better.
• We are going to go in a new direction on some of these listed things.
• We are going to have closed playtests under NDA.
• Cya until Fall when we have more to share.

Anything we heard inbetween then and now was just reports from possible players.

[stone plinth]

another tech test, another empty inbox

[gentle warren]

Make this shit like the hunger games where the most supported faction gets care packages mid raid

[simple oyster]

Did you snooze?

[barren walrus]

Yeah but what is the subtext of mpreg

[valid dome]

some boys just give that preggable vibe, like Lash from Deadlock

[exotic wraith]

Why are there always weird people in here………be normal my guy.

[simple oyster]

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that they said anything. People who were sniffing out for any and all info about this game were the ones who found out about the second more private test. It was absolutely not supposed to be known to the greater audience

[lilac lodge]

Have end of season or wipe cosmetics related to your faction if you fully level through one or do x y z for your faction

[mighty phoenix]

I got invited to the tech test but when I input the code for Xbox it says it's already been redeemed, any idea what's going on?

[final mauve]

?
Its a mod/scenario…i was making a joke lel

[valid dome]

IIRC we heard straight up from bungo at the end of the CAT about the follow-up tech test that was way more limited, in the old NDA chat. I didn't get into that test so I just waited for the next one

[prime wigeon]

Have you download it from your collection

[obsidian plover]

@tawdry olive

[sage river]

If you were in the last playtest that is why. If you deleted marathon after the last playtest you have to search for it in ur collection

[obsidian plover]

@shy flame

[scenic meteor]

@tawdry olive I miss you

[lilac lodge]

I feel like factions have SO much potential. If you give people more ways to feel unique and relate to their characters they’ll engage more/spend more money

[proper heath]

Any mods on?

[proven kernel]

they're on vacay

[obsidian plover]

scooby pls

[proven kernel]

sup?

[mighty phoenix]

Oh, it's just an updated build and not a whole new game file or whatever that needs a new code?

[obsidian plover]

Ya so tabby should be here 100000% more often, mewtane 😄

[sage river]

Correct

[valid dome]

yeah basically, they updated the old build to this one

[delicate night]

I got my code 😈

[simple oyster]

It's like a major update to the application. No new code needed

[lilac lodge]

So we all agree that @kindred vigil is a dev but we can’t prove it

[obsidian plover]

Congratulations!

[obsidian plover]

Bruh why you wilding with neenee

[simple oyster]

It's their civilian account

[torn cave]

I got a code sent out but for the wrong system

[lilac lodge]

@kindred vigil they’re HIDING something

[proper heath]

It's telling me I own the game and reinstall on my xbox but the game isn't in my library anymore. How do I reinstall?

[obsidian plover]

neenee isn't hiding anything. Bruh is 60+ and an avid casual gamer with strong opinions.

[simple oyster]

60+ is insane

[shy flame]

Hi pork :3

[lilac lodge]

@obsidian plover bro just described 80% of game devs

[obsidian plover]

Charuuuuu

[trim sun]

Dude I’m so tired of creators being ignored like I’ve applied to every test and PR doesn’t even respond to some of our emails. Kinda sucks when you want your game to be successful

[final mauve]

Neeyth is 120+ fps

[lethal patrol]

my marathon has changed name to “closed technical test” does this mean i will get a code today or tomorrow before it starts? or sometime during the test? or is it entirely unknown

[obsidian plover]

Bruh doesn't code. Only knows BASIC. Tops out at 50: GOTO 10.

[proven kernel]

I've seen some people say that using the phone aps will still display it in your library and you can force download it onto your console. Other than that, Bungie is aware and trying to get some stuff taken care of.

[final mauve]

They never have had a direct email for that stuff which sucks tbh

[outer dew]

U should be able to just download it now

[lethal patrol]

oh i understand

[grave sphinx]

It says I'm in the wrong region I'm UK? Any fix

[simple oyster]

It's NDA. I don't think they care about creators for this playtest. Creators can't put out content about this as it would breach contract and get them possibly sued

[hot perch]

Would being a creator matter in an NDA technical test?

[obsidian plover]

No you just can't be sharing anything or saying anything outside of approved NDA locations.

[proven kernel]

No

[lilac lodge]

It would make more sense for normal everyday people to participate in these tests. Marathon is trying to turn casual gamers onto a hardcore genre

[finite python]

Thats just the context behind this greater comment chain. There are some people who thought otherwise (and are stupid and upset at bungie because they werent invited), and people like the one I replied to, who just wasn't following things over the summer.

[glacial spruce]

Yo guys how cooked am I. I just recently switched to PC from PlayStation but signed up for the alpha test for PlayStation. I got selected but got the code for PlayStation. Need a dev to throw me a bone and switch my codes PLEASE

[proper heath]

Lol as you messaged the game just popped right next to the old school marathon

[empty wadi]

Bungie please 🙏

[zinc mason]

"I make YT videos" seems like a weird reason to think you deserve peferential access to playtests

[proven kernel]

lol thats good!

[obsidian plover]

Good Luck!

Cooked fr

[vocal kindle]

[obsidian plover]

I make youtube videos and youtube video accesories.

[shy flame]

Reading this like Nixon Futurama

[torn cave]

I’m in the same dilemma

[trim sun]

Absolutely building connections with creators for an up and coming game is good marketing so when the game is ready to be published you have immediate coverage on what you built

[slow dagger]

lots and lots of people want nothing more than whats best for the game and for it too succeed. its impossible to let them all have a chance to play early and give feedback when there's so many.

[lilac lodge]

I loaded into Vault of glass 76 times before I finally beat it on ps3

does anyone know how to get the NDA channel if i didn’t include it in my sign up

[winged magnet]

I got invited do guys know where I can find the NDA channel to sign it ?

[simple oyster]

This is your own stance but I don't think Bungie normally "pays out" content creators for positive reviews. A lot of their biggest creators constantly shit on their content

[vocal kindle]

congrats cant wait!

[lilac lodge]

Imagine they made a world boss like final form Jean jacket from nope.

[fringe acorn]

Is it Wednesday yet rubbers

[worthy steppe]

Can anyone help me I got sent a play test code for ps5 and it's saying the code is invalid, it is 100% entered correctly

[jade linden]

I believe NDA channel is not live until tomorrow morning

[hot perch]

I mean this in the most respectful manner, but it was a largely rhetorical question.

Given that Bungie is already an established studio with a fanbase, they probably already have people who are going to cover it no matter what.

This isn't an unheard of indie developer that needs help getting the limelight.

[open gulch]

[winged magnet]

Okidoki thx

[fringe acorn]

RUNNERS, NOT RUBBERS

[wintry pond]

This is funny, especially considering the nda

How do I get access to the NDA Discord?

• Join the official Discord at discord.gg/marathonthegame. We will add the Discord account name you provided during sign-up to our NDA’d section. Access for the NDA’d Discord channels can take up to 24 hours to update.
• For those joining after the test has begun, we’ll be conducting role grants daily in the evening for the duration of the test.
• For Steam users, you’ll need to take the survey you receive in-game to provide your Discord and Bungie.net account names.
