[hoary anchor]

ARC raiders and marathon are both good in their own way, why not play BOTH??

[void axle]

arc is amazing lol

[last dirge]

banned words

[boreal panther]

It is the PvP is just really sub par

[rancid pebble]

has it hit double digits in cents yet ?

[real haven]

traxus newcalc and kinda sekgen are the reason everything sucks

[minor quest]

You said "NFT Profile picture", is there a question or just a statement that I already know myself?

[void axle]

ehh agree to disagree everything feels grounded and great

[last dirge]

im sad ark doesnt have more maps tbh and that last test sucked i was leveling too fast

[summer falcon]

If arc had a toggle between third person and first person then it would’ve been so much better

[smoky dome]

Okay, everyone... here's your super powerful copy/paste for the flood that is going to happen in the next few hours...

You ready?

Check :pushpin:

[summer falcon]

Aw HELL YEAH
CORPORATIONS RUINING EVERYTHING YYYEAAAAAHHH

[smoky dome]

And, tadaa
Check 📌

[golden sequoia]

Can’t think of one good thing to say about marathon ngl to you, anyways why did I get an email saying I was accepted into the tech test without every applying, is it just free for everyone?

[boreal panther]

Na it should of just been 1st person/it has like a fog of war what your character can’t see you can’t

[rancid pebble]

by nature it's kinda hard to play multiple live service games at once let alone an extraction shooter

[vestal notch]

GOT THE COSE BOIS

[void axle]

they cut alot of content from the slam, it was more like a demo. I played the tech test in may and there was so much content even though that was like 5 months ago

[last dirge]

they need to make it so you cant see around corners in third person like scum has it where it blurs out

[real haven]

hell yeah thats why i support mida heavily
there just the equivalent of alternative cultures in marathon

[vestal notch]

WHO WANNA PLAY ON XBOX LATER THIS EVENING??

[last dirge]

yeah i played since tech test 1 i think it was better when the robots had more hp and moved slower

[quick bison]

nah, its just one of the cons with third person

[hoary anchor]

ahhh i get ya, im unemployed rn so

[fair stream]

the email says you can just redownload the last test you were a part of, but I can't find that in my steam library anymore. does anyone know of a way to fix this?

[boreal panther]

The 3rd person combined with bad gunplay and the ttk being atrociously long makes the PvP really bad when it’s In a “hardcore extraction shooter”

[last dirge]

idk you can 3v1 pretty easy you just need to workout what guns to bring i always bring a short and long range gun

[tacit isle]

arc raiders looks neat but its not weird enough, and extraction shooters are for the weirdos

[hoary anchor]

i like how marathon looks and what its offering to bring to the table, i also just LOVE Marathon lore too

[void axle]

definitely didnt feel like that to me , the ttk being long felt way more impactful especially cuz you had time to reposition, med up and turn the fight around if u were losing

[real haven]

lowkey same i just really hope they dont steal artwork this time around

[summer falcon]

I like CyAc more

Their slogan is so fun i love it
The confidence in “everything runs on CyAc” 😭

[quick bison]

search for it on steam

[last dirge]

nah just shoot em in the head and ttk is low

[real haven]

especially coming from an artist

[void axle]

fr

[hoary anchor]

escape will make me pregnant

[void axle]

relatively quick ttk if you can click heads

[golden sequoia]

Arc raiders is way better than marathon. I think third person is perfect for the game, ttk is NOT long at all, it’s actually kinda short I think considering u die and u loose all your loot. If ur talking about ttk against the arc, u gotta use heavy weapons against em. Light weapons do nothing to em

[real haven]

oh shit i forgot about them
i think there another big shit stain on everything sucking

[hoary anchor]

im not gonna compare until i see both games at their peak

[fair stream]

my brother in the W'rkncacnter, that was the first thing I tried

[summer falcon]

Same here

Hope they’ve changed stuff around or have at least partnered/came to agreements with the artist

[hoary anchor]

THE ANCIENT GOD?

[real haven]

yeah cause they had to do with the ai on the marathon in the first place i think? which is why were going to tau ceti to begin with

[quick bison]

In the store? It shouldnt be hidden

[real haven]

yeah hopefully

[summer falcon]

Arachne

[fair stream]

searching for it in the store just brings up the full game, not any playtests

[last dirge]

ark raider should have peggle multiplayer cooked into finding game

[real haven]

who are they again?
if there the original company then im pretty sure cyak still assisted them with the ai

[void axle]

i was on the marathon train for the longest time until i played tt2, and the classes really rub me the wrong way asw. BUT that being said i really hope this game succeeds, love the aesthetic and the atmosphere

[quick bison]

That's odd, I searched it up like that and had a button for the playtest where the purchase button should have been

[latent citrus]

bejeweled was a better joke smh my head

[last dirge]

lol

[dark bison]

I thought I had already requested access to the play test but I was wrong lol

[golden sequoia]

Idk man I don’t get it. They praised the ai, which was trash. U feel so slow and clunky, combat felt horrible, it was just mid. After bungie got sued for stealing art for marathon, who knows what the game gonna look like now. The lore is probably cool but I haven’t looked much into it.

[summer falcon]

Unified collective of AI i think
Trying to reach godhood or sum iirc

[fair stream]

yeah, I had the option of submitting my interest, but I signed up directly through Bungie's website as opposed to Steam

[unique ginkgo]

listening to the music from the marathon reveal stream way back to get me hyped for later today

[last dirge]

im guessing its slow at the start and you get faster and tghe game gets faster

[summer falcon]

Speculation

[real haven]

there were 3 ai aboard the marathon 1 helps u in the original game and the other trys to reach god hood and the 3rd i dont remember mattering ever

[unique ginkgo]

there's a lore chat guys lol

[last dirge]

i blame investors making games bad on purpose to fundraise themselves

[dark bison]

are you already playing?

[void axle]

what do u guys think about the constant NDAs for the playtests

[real haven]

i mean i guess

[void axle]

i feel like its killing some of the hype

[summer falcon]

Literally a non-issue

[real haven]

every other gane ever does it

[wide heath]

The other one dies

[latent citrus]

reasonable, considering how things have gone for them

[unique ginkgo]

im not trying to be rude, sorry bleugh

[golden sequoia]

Best thing to come out of marathon was that sick ass cinematic trailer. Shit had me so hyped just for me to be let down tremendously from the moment I loaded up the alpha

[void axle]

well arc raiders clips are generating tonnes of hype

[fast schooner]

Whats the game like to whoever has played it?

[real haven]

i wasint tryna say u were mb 😭 awsome pfp though

[last dirge]

yeah im just hoping the ai games start coming out sooner than later

[paper sun]

Just tell him to sign up via steam, since those are open until the 26th

[wicked folio]

Arc or marathon

[fast schooner]

Marathon

[near vigil]

That wasn't a cinematic trailer that was a whole ass short film

[dark bison]

idk

[solar helm]

game is geniunely good

[real haven]

spoilers </3
jk yeah i can see that

[paper sun]

Marathon

[void axle]

plus for those not in americas or OCE are getting fuck all in terms of gameplay

[unique ginkgo]

ayo??? preesh gang, was made by zestylemons on twitter :3

[latent citrus]

the one time i saw an arc raiders clip it was a guy one shotting people and three peaking while hiding in a corner

[wicked folio]

Haven't played yet but I'm really hoping the solo experience is improved

[hoary anchor]

but u cant get a psn code via steam?

[wide heath]

Mb

[last dirge]

did anyone else feel like they toned down the graphics in ark raiders tech test 2 to server slam

[real haven]

hell yeah
my friend doodled mine lol

[fast schooner]

Bro probably had the ANVIL 4

[compact sapphire]

I feel like arc is gonna be better for pve but marathon better for pvp

[paper sun]

Ah you are talking about PlayStation, ah yea you are out of luck there mate

[dark bison]

I have to wait for access and try Marathon to give my opinion, but Arc is on another level.

[last dirge]

mightve been from playing bf6

[hoary anchor]

it was the environmental features

[summer falcon]

I think it was led by the same person who led the jibaro episode in love, death, and robots

Its misleadingly good

[smoky dome]

Probably want to ask that on the Arc Raider discord and not here

[unique ginkgo]

sweet, brony? im not one myself but thats cool :3

[latent citrus]

yeah it as that pistol

[golden sequoia]

Yeah whatever it was, it was fucking sick. Luckily I got into the alpha and realized how shit it is so I can save my money. Definitely would have pre ordered if it was available just off that trailer if I didn’t play it first tho

[void axle]

yeah they did to optimise for lower specs but iirc they're working on making it better again

[fathom stump]

Has the TT started for some?

[last dirge]

dam consoles paid them off again xd

[golden sequoia]

It is

[fast schooner]

That pistol is insane, I only used it a few times, its probably gonna get nerfed

[last dirge]

so their 4k looks better than my 2k on pc

[real haven]

im a girl smh </3

[near vigil]

They should opt for a show made by whoever made that cinematic honestly

[smoky dome]

Check 📌

[unique ginkgo]

ahhh, pegasister, gotcha

[brazen spire]

when do steam invites go out?

[frigid cave]

Dang timezones XD The test starts at like 8pm for me

[real haven]

yup

[golden sequoia]

He has some shorts on love death and robots that he animated, but not a whole show. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it yet

[fathom stump]

Thanks chief

[latent citrus]

hopefully but i really don’t know what they’ll do about all the 1-2 shot weapons considering there’s like 4

[unique ginkgo]

sorry, kinda always assume anyone i talk to online is a guy lol, i forget girls can be nerds too haha

[fathom stump]

I’m not saying I got in

[fast schooner]

I kind of like how strong they are honestly

[void axle]

ive been so hyped for marathon but lack of OCE playtests and NDA has kinda killed it cuz we're getting drip-fed content and no way to try it for ourselves, meanwhile arc raiders is going crazy

[real haven]

thats fair honestly

[last dirge]

dragon hmu with a key

[main shadow]

hmm how do i gain access to the playtester channel
servers arent online yet so im not sure if im meant to apply there or what

[unique ginkgo]

agree, makes it hella worth when you find/craft them

[last dirge]

ive done everything D:

[wide heath]

Someone said they open later

[latent citrus]

i don’t like that they’re easy to use close range. unless it’s something like the kraber where the time to reposition and aim properly can get you killed, one shot weapons are bad for the game imo

[main shadow]

mm ok ok

[forest ginkgo]

[gaunt oxide]

Tech test begins <t:1761152400:R>

[unique ginkgo]

i mean there's a meta around em sure, but imo i find they're unreliable close range, full autos are way better there

[last dirge]

🧙‍♂️ ]

[golden sequoia]

Marathon also weirdly had aim assist on kb&m. And I didn’t like it. Hopefully that was a bug.

[latent citrus]

if they just make them slightly more unwieldy then yeah i could agree

[last dirge]

i bet it only matters at low stages of the game

[sour knot]

If you're invited into a test, are you allowed to say that?

[twilit gate]

That was a big point of feedback from the last test so hopefully they made some tuning changes

[gaunt jay]

has it started?

[fair siren]

Yes, it is public information

[unique ginkgo]

in my experience they have been, you have to be rly good with your shots close range or else you miss most of the time. then again, xbox player talking so could just be the platform skill diff

[timber chasm]

i applied today for access. what are my chances to get access?

[sour knot]

What about the game size, are you allowed to talk about that?

[golden sequoia]

Thank god. Stupid af. The appeal of playing kb&m is going for headshots, aim assist kind of ruins that. It also just makes it unfair af to controller players

[lone radish]

[unique ginkgo]

prolly not smth to admit lol

[wide heath]

Probably not

[latent citrus]

mhm, fair enough i only got long experience with the two shot rifle, both being killed by and killing with, and it seemed a little silly with how high the stakes are.

[earnest bloom]

ohh okay

[hoary stratus]

no NDA channels yet?

[latent citrus]

no

[hoary stratus]

damn

waiting patiently waiting

[raven grotto]

hello, i got accepted through steam, i downloaded it but when i start the game after the press any key it tells me "access denied", odd

[gaunt oxide]

#marathon-news message

[unique ginkgo]

servs not live yet

[last dirge]

mr paper clip lol

[raven grotto]

i see

my bad

[unique ginkgo]

ur good lol

[shell rock]

same, did you get an email from bungie?

[hoary stratus]

servers start at 10AM PT today

[gaunt jay]

So they're already giving access?

[unique ginkgo]

yep, keep eyes peeled on ur email

[minor quest]

My dude! You are an SAINT! The key was just sitting there. IM IN!

[hoary stratus]

yep the've been giving access for the past 2 days and will contine to until theend of the playtest

[raven grotto]

it is 10 am here, but not pt, i have to wait till 20 😢

[marsh snow]

I was invited but the code they gave me was a duplicate, do they not have a support system where you can contact them anywhere?

[raven grotto]

20 in my region

[young trellis]

how do i check if im accepted or not

[wide heath]

I did not receive an email. I found my code in the survey link

[unique ginkgo]

if you've been accepted before than you can reinstall the one from before, just make sure it's the right one

[gaunt jay]

it's calming

[unique ginkgo]

hm, interesting

[fair siren]

Access doesn’t start until 1pm eastern (10am pacific)

[hoary stratus]

yuh you still have a chance of getting in dw

[thick dew]

Question about something allegedly, I lost my old discord account which was tied to my bungie.net when I signed up, allegedly. @magic rose this was my account, can I transfer all my stuff to this new account?

[hollow whale]

nah

[wide heath]

Do you mean the account links or data?

[oak badger]

You’re wrong.

[thick dew]

The data, like access to the ||NDA|| ETC

[humble heart]

new playtest roles given out yet?

[lilac mango]

Im very bad with time conversion so can anyone be so dear as to let me know how many hours until the playtest?

[smoky dome]

Check 📌

[wide heath]

8

[cerulean ibex]

how do i get alpha channel access? i got selected

[formal path]

uh, can I use the code my friend gives to me which is his? He can't play due to his trip and I want a beta record on my steam account.

[smoky dome]

No.

It's tied to their platform ID

You may be able to redeem it, but it will not grant you access to the server to play

[formal path]

So it's tied to his bungie account?

[unreal rampart]

woohoo, I got in, but on Steam

[smoky dome]

It's tied to the platform ID they signed up with, such as Steam, or their XBL ID or PSN ID

[twilit crystal]

Nearly had a heart attack then, non stop checking emails for past 2 days but still no invite, just checked then and a bungie store email popped up that was in no relation to the marathon closed test 🤣😮‍💨😭

[formal path]

ty, got it

have to play on his steam account then lmao

[ember light]

did u have to enter a code after being selected from steam? or does it just automatically pop into ur library

[cerulean ibex]

how can i link my steam so i get access to test channels ?

[unreal rampart]

automatically, because I've requested access on their store page

[timber chasm]

i tried to apply online but the survey didnt load...

[latent citrus]

it’s been closed since the 16th

[unreal rampart]

I think you need to wait for an email from bungie themselves, I have everything linked but no access to the channels

[timber chasm]

i tried it 2 weeks ago

[cerulean ibex]

ohh okay ty !

[ember light]

when did u request access on steam?

[bleak helm]

I wish i could give away my code since they gave me one that doesnt work in my region

[timber chasm]

just give me your steam acc Kappa

[bleak helm]

Dont have steam its on ps5

[nimble kraken]

MANS ABOUT TO EMULATE THE PS5 ON HIS PC

[tough aurora]

[bleak helm]

[twilit crystal]

Pre ordered as soon as the server slam ended.

[neat tapir]

Checkk to see if you got a code:Log in your bungie acc and go to redeem codes and check there the game codes tab. If u got invites you see a code! I did not get a mail but i did get a code

[nimble kraken]

can some one pin the server start time to the top of the chat so it doesnt get ask 30000 more times

[thin sable]

Go to playtest link. Login to Bungie acct with console acct

Choose PS5 or Xbox at the login screen for example

[nimble kraken]

i really couldnt get into deadlock

[civic wyvern]

<t:1761152400:f> to the 28th

[grim bridge]

love Arc, Marathon is better though, well last time i played it it was

[dusk quarry]

Hyped for marathon > no code 2 times

[grim bridge]

maybe they have changed it loads whooo knows

[tough aurora]

ty

[vestal notch]

I found my code for Xbox on Bungie site i redeem It but i dont find It to download, what can i do?

[twilit crystal]

Same, loved it, unfortunately ive not played marathon i never got in the last test either but im super excited for its release as well, both games look amazing to me 😍

[civic wyvern]

did you play on the alpha?

[nimble kraken]

really cause it got such negative ffed back from so many sources, but my lkove for the styling and bungie as a whole couldnt shake me so im happy to have goten a key to try it out

[woven heron]

are you even allowed to discuss being allowed in the playtest? im confused about the NDA thing

[tough aurora]

felt this way until i played arc, now idk if bungie can outdo it

[vestal notch]

I'm not sayng nothing and i Will not

[tough aurora]

[vestal notch]

Real..

[pale rose]

Same! I’m gonna use it as a coping mechanism

[odd wadi]

ive never played it but i hope bungies new extraction shooter is promising

[vestal notch]

I want a crota skin fpr the Runner ngl

[leaden oxide]

same

[odd wadi]

for the people who have played, do you enjoy it?

[cosmic thistle]

[leaden oxide]

I really enjoyed it ... played 38hrs in last test

[vestal notch]

Rookie numbers...

[cosmic thistle]

is it similar to any other extraction shooters?

[odd wadi]

arc raiders server slam was only for 3 days, game comes out end of this month

[leaden oxide]

Yeah I have a job it wouldve been higher

[shut tusk]

Is the playtest active

[cosmic thistle]

any other bungie shooters?

[charred inlet]

bro is NDA-baiting

[celest lily]

I played 50 hours of ARC and Marathon is 100% dead on arrival. Are they finally going to invite me to this test to help them fix this mess?????? Bungie?????

[marble bluff]

guys how i can see if they accept my modules?

[cosmic thistle]

im just curious lmaooo

[cosmic idol]

I have access on steam but my steam account is not on NA or EU, can I play the test?

[charred inlet]

everyone is lol

[vestal notch]

Bungie site and than redeem history

[odd wadi]

[leaden oxide]

Just play and make your own opinion everyone is a grifter nowadays

[cosmic thistle]

[rough vigil]

Can I share the game with my brother?

[cosmic thistle]

its free just tell him to sign up

[vestal notch]

If your Brother works at Bungie yes

[rough vigil]

No he works with Crota I think it will not work

[cosmic thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-patience-you-must-have-patience-gif-15254127

[cosmic idol]

I have access on steam but my steam account is not on NA or EU, can I play the test?

[marble bluff]

but guys i do the modules and also from steam but idk if i got the acces

[vestal notch]

Do you guys think , if someone give a lot of good feedback and explanation of every bug etc . Is gonna get the game for free?

[past osprey]

hell no

[wide heath]

it will be worth trying

[pale vault]

Am I allowed to say if I was invited to the playtest?

[wicked scaffold]

Second time no key xD

[cosmic thistle]

i mean

[vestal notch]

Idk i think yes?

[cosmic thistle]

i figure

[chrome lake]

ive got access on steam but it sais acceess denied what do i do

[acoustic ember]

no the nda officers will take your legs

[pale vault]

Well I am since I was already selected on the first one

[cosmic thistle]

wait 8 hours?

[wicked hazel]

hey i have a question is the playtest still off or do i need to do something more to acctualy get the acces ?

[hot river]

10 am pst?

[past osprey]

yep

[cosmic thistle]

do you have it downloaded

[glossy hamlet]

check pinned message

[wicked hazel]

yop

[cosmic thistle]

ur good

[unreal rampart]

yeah, you don't, I think only an email from bungie is missing with the nda or something, I'm not sure, this is my first time

[chrome lake]

ohhhh it doesnt start yet?

[fading tide]

Hey so, I'm in the alpha but I still don't have the role

[cosmic thistle]

10am pst

[unreal rampart]

10am pst

[potent pecan]

Good morning Vietnam!!!!!!

[hot river]

Are we special in some way or what

[amber sluice]

Im about to marathon it so hard in a few hours

[wicked scaffold]

Apllying to the test on steam is enough or do I need to do something else to get access?

[vestal notch]

I cant find the game on my Xbox library After i redeem It, what i can do?

[amber sluice]

You are good, now you have to wait to see if your picked

[fading tide]

There was an online NDA form

[past osprey]

yeah i cant wait until i just marathon all over the place

[cosmic thistle]

This is not a test! This is rock and roll.

[pulsar leaf]

Any way to be able to play without the invitation?

[acoustic ember]

i do not have a clue brotato why did u ask me 😭

[amber sluice]

Im going to marathon all over the walls

[cosmic thistle]

ohhhhh im tauing it im tauing it soo good

[vestal notch]

I know Bro but i'm Just asking xd

[pulsar leaf]

I feel like I signed up long ago but also PlayStation has a beta sign up for games so maybe I’ll be in luck

[wicked scaffold]

So gg for me right? I did not know that I need to do that form

[past osprey]

just search for the marathon thing in the store

[hot river]

Wait last time didnt they lift the nda do you think they'll do it again? It seems that we have a very wide pool of testers

[wicked hazel]

but when does it start it says it starts at 10 am but now its 11 am and it says acces denied and that it is not yet open for playtest

[gloomy horizon]

holy crap i got in!

[cosmic thistle]

time zone

[past osprey]

it did the same for me and i was able to download it

[vestal notch]

10 pm and i'm from italy

[unborn badger]

why repeat the first alpha's disaster

[acoustic ember]

yeah but they announced they were lifting it weeks in advance seems a little late now

[fading tide]

I'm not sure tbh, I did both

[amber sluice]

Not this time

Its a test, not even a alpha

[cosmic thistle]

yep

[grizzled magnet]

Anybody getting a code that isn't working

[vestal notch]

[thick turret]

I doubt it, they didn't remove the NDA for the last few play tests. They'll probably want to get to a stage where they want to re-announce the game before doing non-NDA playtests.

[grizzled magnet]

For the test

[acoustic ember]

current issue for console players they are aware and working on i

[grizzled magnet]

Oh ok thanx

[still gyro]

I've gotten accesss to the game but its just loading in the load screen, anyone knows why?

[amber sluice]

Its not live

[acoustic ember]

servers not open yet twin

[thick turret]

It's not launching until 10am PT.

[hot river]

Makes sense i havent been tapped in to marayhon since art copyright placeholder asset event happened

[grizzled verge]

some people saying they got codes for marathon just sitting there but did not get a mail
"Log in your bungie acc and go to redeem codes and check there the game codes tab. If u got invites you see a code! I did not get a mail but i did get a code"
might be worth a check

[still gyro]

Ah okey haha

[past osprey]

on xbox it said the code was already redeemed so im guessing if you played the alpha its the same application and i was able to download it from my library

[still gyro]

I thought it was 10Am my timezone :/

[acoustic ember]

nope 10am to bungie hq's timezone

[grizzled magnet]

Its same for me on PlayStation but dude said they were working on it

[cosmic thistle]

yep it just needs an update and then boom

[thick turret]

It's all good. I think their thought process is to just get it into a good place before everyone gets eyes on it.

[balmy oar]

Guys it is too late to get a code?

[sacred cypress]

/playtest

[acoustic ember]

no theyre still coming while the test is running

[balmy oar]

Ok cool

[verbal oar]

HUGE WIN FOR THE UNEMPLOYED I JUST GOT ACCEPTED

[acoustic ember]

W

[gaunt stump]

LET ME IIIIIIIIINNNN

[verbal oar]

i was very close to losing hope

i waited days where everyone was getting them

[vestal notch]

Never lose the Hope mate

[acoustic sierra]

Never lose hope mate

[keen acorn]

Are u guys getting the access per email?

[gaunt stump]

nope

[vestal notch]

No via fax

[acoustic sierra]

Nah

[verbal oar]

yeah i just woke up and checked my emails

i got an email from steam saying i have been accepted

[keen acorn]

Oki thanks

[boreal panther]

Na I got a hand written letter from John marathon himself

[keen acorn]

Hope u made ur self laugh there

[boreal panther]

Yeah I’m sending a letter back your not getting a code

[keen acorn]

Funny

[charred inlet]

2005 humor

[verbal summit]

bruh 2nd time i probably wont get in and i requested the day they released sign ups 😭

[balmy oar]

Can you guys help me Im stuck in a loading screen I put the screen in #🎨marathon-community-art-chat

[gloomy horizon]

make sure to check the actual survey link to find if you’ve got in guys. i didnt get an email but i still got the selected prompt on the website.

[thick turret]

Definitely check the redeem codes page on the Bungie website too or the survey. My email notification was massively delayed compared to when I received the code last night. Got the code at 9:30pm and the email at 1am lol.

[keen acorn]

@balmy oar think u need to wait servers arent ob yet

[vestal notch]

Brother you Need to have Faith in crota

[wheat meteor]

Do I not need to sign a NDA to play?

[balmy oar]

OK ok

[thick turret]

The test launches at 10am PT

[verbal summit]

@vestal notch i only have faith in speranza

[iron palm]

Hi, do you know what time the next wave of invitations to the EU is?

[clear thorn]

When the servers open in europe guys?

[vestal notch]

Brother i made 60 hrs of gameplay in 3 days

[balmy oar]

19h

[gloomy horizon]

nobody knows but probably closer to reset time

[verbal summit]

@vestal notch lmfao me too i been just editing for the past 2 days ngl

[iron palm]

ok thx

[fast schooner]

Where the survey link?

[keen acorn]

@verbal summit well its nice to have a distraction till the 30th right?

[verbal summit]

@keen acorn im going through arc withdrawal twin 😭

[gloomy horizon]

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

[keen acorn]

@verbal summit same i find it hard to play anything atm nothing is fun..

[verbal summit]

@keen acorn my exact thought process as well bro i just havent been playing anything at all ever since it ended and it was nothing compared to tech test 2

[gleaming drum]

cs2 is so much fun wdym

[verbal summit]

@gleaming drum did you play the arc slam test this weekend

[gleaming drum]

no lmao. 3rd person 🤮

[wide heath]

i recommend satisfactory

[verbal summit]

@gleaming drum see then you dont get it

[gleaming drum]

tarkov >

[verbal summit]

@gleaming drum shit is cinema bro

[keen acorn]

Last time i had that much fun is when i first started plaxing the cycle

[verbal summit]

@gleaming drum all the tarkov streamers were grinding it like 12+ hours a day even if you dont like 3rd you gotta try it prolly the best extraction game ive ever played ong

[lusty frost]

Holy shit, talk about a blast to the past

[gleaming drum]

im waiting for tarkov 1.0

[iron palm]

What time was the last invitation wave?

[keen acorn]

More like escape from cheaters

[verbal summit]

ong tarkov got too many cheaters im good on that

[cyan sonnet]

Arc withdrawal is real

[keen acorn]

Yep ..

[polar pine]

does anyone know if the marathon technical test has controller support?

[vestal notch]

Me too Brother i alredy bought the game

[verbal summit]

@vestal notch if you gotta youtube drop it ill sub bro

[wide heath]

If the Anti Cheat is the same as in The Finals, you guys will be having problems aswell with cheates

[deft maple]

BUNGIE LET ME INTO THE PLAYTEST ITS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!

[plush horizon]

https://steamdb.info/app/3547690/charts/

Devs be getting in the practice

[verbal summit]

BRO I LITERALLY GREW UP ON HALO1-3 LET ME IN

[wispy ridge]

I got the code for Xbox and redeemed it, how do I download the test?

[indigo cargo]

Does anyone know if and when the next playtest will be? I FINALLY have a laptop (Victus R 7 RTX 4050) that can run the game 😭😭 im new to PC gaming and didn’t realize i was missing out on all these games

[thick turret]

You'll probably have issues regardless. Stamping out cheaters is like a cat and mouse chase nowadays.

:/

[wide heath]

Im just saying that cheaters ran rampant on that game

[thick turret]

Ahh thats fair

[verbal summit]

ya the hacking epidemic is ridiculous if you run a rust wipe run into like 20

[wide heath]

it only stopped because the player base shrank

[crimson gust]

is there any tech-test chat ?

[verbal summit]

look like its back to dark and darker until arc 🤡

[still yoke]

can we stream this on discord to our friends? NDA says "cannot share publicly" so im just checkin

[gloomy horizon]

not yet

[wide heath]

no

[gloomy horizon]

no

[still yoke]

thought so

thx beautifuls

[deft maple]

i wanna play this fockin game so bad

[humble ibex]

it says im supposed to have access to the NDA section of the server but i havent seen anything ,, ??

[thick turret]

There will be, but I wouldn't expect it to go live until the game launches.

[gloomy horizon]

everyone’ll probably get added once it starts

[deft maple]

i think it said that stuff goes up in the am

more so than it is now

[humble ibex]

oh okay so the test hasnt actually started yet

tyy <3

[thick turret]

10am PT is the test launch.

:)

[gloomy horizon]

7 hours

[crimson gust]

goddamn , that means 20:00 to my time zone 🥲

[humble ibex]

7PM for me 😭

[fathom depot]

how is it so late for you guys i thought it was NA only?

[hollow whale]

nope euro too

[torn stump]

I had to go to the Microsoft website and use the order history to find the redemption and then clicked on it to send it to my xbox. Supposedly someone said the test client is under free by/for xbox in the library but I cant confirm

[humble ibex]

:wabey:

[thick turret]

They've allowed us Europeans in lol

[crimson gust]

hell yea

[humble ibex]

MENA here

[fathom depot]

oh i wonder if theyll be same servers ?

[hollow whale]

i hope not

[gloomy horizon]

hopefully not

[humble ibex]

yeah probably so ping might be ahh

[thick turret]

Probably not. I'd expect that they'd want to test the Euro servers in something like this.

[vestal notch]

Tik Tok bro

[crimson gust]

i just hope theres not gonna be 30hz tick rate servers like in crap raiders 💀

[hollow whale]

ban

[faint venture]

When will the emails be sent out?

[opaque sparrow]

MARATHON HERE WE COMEEEEE

[hollow whale]

i got mine a couple hours ago

[opaque sparrow]

Emails have been sent out already :<

[stray adder]

first was send today in the morning

[thick turret]

They're sent out in waves.

[hollow whale]

does anyone know if you can play on console?

[loud vale]

Yo we need just request playtest and wait ? With steam )

[faint venture]

So I guess I wasn’t lucky...

[keen bluff]

Marathon!!!

After work ima join!

[pulsar leaf]

It’s actually dumb for them to not let people try the game

[thick turret]

You might still get in. There will be more invite waves.

[dry wolf]

check your key here https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests, already got mine

[keen bluff]

Should've joined the beta

[valid stone]

Don’t get excited. They barely let in like 10 people each “wave”

[plush horizon]

Gotten access check?

[keen bluff]

Im at work but get off in 6 hours, hopefully I will be able to join.

[opaque sparrow]

Anybody down to squad up when it does drop would certainly enjoy some friends ^w^

[untold pebble]

Do we just dl the closed tech test if gained access?

[opaque sparrow]

Yes

[thick turret]

Yup, then wait till launch.

[stoic hull]

no you play it in browser

[dry wolf]

and wait for server to open in the next 8 hours or some

[loud vale]

Yo we need just request playtest and wait ? With steam ? Or i need to go bungie website ?

[untold pebble]

I'll see you boys in there

[stoic hull]

read annoucements

[opaque sparrow]

You down to squad up when it drops :3

[loud vale]

Yes , but why i see in the chat « u can go bungie bla bla » ?

[slender reef]

Has anyone received an email confirming their access yet?

[stoic hull]

i usually only solo

[opaque sparrow]

Validddd

[stoic hull]

ew ivan

[thick turret]

Bungies survey is closed. You might still be able to request via steam but I'm not 100% sure.

[opaque sparrow]

See you on the other side then 🤙

[stoic hull]

gonna steal your loot :>

[thick turret]

As far as I know anyway.

[plush horizon]

Sure just waiting for access tho

[humble ibex]

anyone down to group once the test opens ? ive never played before

[craggy matrix]

Can people stream the gameplay during the test?

[humble ibex]

no, not on twitch or discord or anything

[opaque sparrow]

Hell yeaaa

[hollow wing]

Hi, what can I do when my code to CTT doesnt work? Thanks

[opaque sparrow]

Not if i steal yours first :3

[opaque sparrow]

Nope

[crimson helm]

Good morning

I finally got access to the playtest.

[rapid galleon]

They might allow it in the play testing channels here

[indigo cargo]

I redeemed my code for Xbox…where do i go to download the game?

[craggy matrix]

What about uploading a gameplay on YouTube? Not live

[zinc basalt]

is there info at wich time test opens?

[fathom depot]

no this is under NDA

[timid wigeon]

I'm never gonna get closed test access... First one no one from Europe allowed and now I'm hearing most people that were part of the first have got in again...

[plush horizon]

People getting access and not even knowing the rules SADGE

[opaque sparrow]

Nope

[hollow wing]

@fathom depot hi, what can I do when my code to CTT doesnt work?

[opaque sparrow]

Just gotta sit down and play the game

[dry wolf]

can you go to jail from doing this?

[stoic hull]

no

they might revoke your access though

so if your going to upload something hide identifiers

[plush horizon]

Go Google or GROK ts bro

[fathom depot]

you should be able to just redownload the game on whatever platform you played on. i see you were in the first test so you should be in

[tawny relic]

how long will this test last for?

[dry wolf]

@Grok is this true?

[craggy matrix]

That's bad. I mean I don't have access for the test but I wanted to see some gameplay

[stoic hull]

read annoucements

people will leak gameplay

[timid wigeon]

This Discord god heard! I'm in!

[plush horizon]

#marathon-news

[hollow wing]

Ok, but I didnt play first wave.

[fathom depot]

you didnt play the alpha in april? you have the role for it

[hollow wing]

I misssed the email 😔

[indigo cargo]

Dawg i redeemed my code and the game never downloaded

[sharp sage]

Are there going to be friend invites?

[zinc basalt]

Ah test starts 19:00 in europe

[indigo cargo]

wtf

[fathom depot]

what happens when you try to redeem the code?

[indigo cargo]

I can’t even download the game now

[onyx zodiac]

Im so ready

[craggy matrix]

Is this going to be the last test before release or what?

[manic dome]

i wouldn't think so, still a long while away

[indigo cargo]

Where is a mod

[onyx zodiac]

Nope its a technical test not even a alpha

[hollow wing]

The code is no longer valid.

[indigo cargo]

I need help

[thick turret]

Probably not. They'll probably do more NDA tests, then re-announce the game then do some non-NDA stuff. Or they might not ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[onyx zodiac]

Honey no one knows

[fathom depot]

i would reach out to bungie support then and let them know

[craggy matrix]

Ok

[hollow wing]

Thanks, The voucher code is incorrect or is no longer valid.

[tulip sapphire]

Mine just says Survey has 3xpired so nothing then ?

[indigo cargo]

SMH dawg…i can’t download the game after i redeemed the code they sent me WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

[plush horizon]

Sadly yes

[tulip sapphire]

Tuff.

[wide heath]

i checked my link every hour, so keep praying

[mild goblet]

And it said that the survey has expired?

[wide heath]

yeah

before, and suddenely there was a code

[outer yarrow]

Download the old test demo

[indigo cargo]

I never played the old test demo

[vocal heron]

Best of luck to everyone trying to get in! And to those of us that are set already, good luck on your runs

[woven heron]

aye

[quaint mural]

what time does test open?

[wide heath]

7 hours

[ornate temple]

i let the discord so i lost my role

[thick turret]

10am PT :)

[dawn osprey]

If Bungie doesn't include a million people in this test they are exactly what I think they are

[ornate temple]

i cant see the channels

[woven heron]

a million for a playtest seems excessive

[indigo cargo]

SMH this shit is already 🗑️ how tf y’all send a code and the game doesn’t download

[mild goblet]

Says the same thing for me, but I think it might've rejected my application because when I checked it 2 days after applying it showed the application and not the message

[fast gazelle]

<t:1761152413:f>

[wide heath]

and what does it say now?

[indigo cargo]

MY CODE DIDNT WORK, THE GAME DIDNT DOWNLOAD ON MY XBOX WHEN I REDEEMED THE COD…WHERE IS A MOD, I NEED HELP

[dawn osprey]

@woven heron well whatever number signed up should get in and if they are picking and choosing thats been there issue

[mild goblet]

Expired

[wide heath]

then you good

[woven heron]

you are allowed to reply to people here

[outer jacinth]

guys is the servers live ?

[mild goblet]

Really?

[woven heron]

additionally thats... i dont think thats how playtesting quite works?

[wide heath]

That was my message aswell

[woven heron]

na check the pins

[indigo cargo]

I fuckin hate discord yo…i swear to god

[arctic tapir]

Bungie. Youve forgotten to send my code, don’t make me hop on the hate train.

[mild goblet]

That's reassuring, I hope you're right

[wide heath]

and i didnt get an email

[outer jacinth]

when its live for EU ?

[thick turret]

It'll be random. And they'll have a sample size that they want to hit for their test parameters.

[woven heron]

check the pins

[cobalt storm]

I got into the play test but I’m not in the secret channel? :0

[dawn osprey]

@arctic tapir they have not forgotten they are selective and you clearly are not what they are looking for

[woven heron]

it autotranslates to YOUR timezone

[mild goblet]

Where'd you get your code then?

[cobalt storm]

Ahh okay

[woven heron]

it is a playtest yes so they will be selective

[dawn osprey]

@thick turret definetly not random

[crystal ocean]

Some of you got invites ?

[woven heron]

well, its mostly random.

[wide heath]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/techtestapply

[crude sigil]

Also didnt get an Email, would ne nice to know If i Just got rejected or so

[gloomy horizon]

yes

[woven heron]

im sure there's some automation for "dont let this goober in"

[vocal heron]

It should open up a bit later ^^

[cobalt storm]

Lovely!

[woven heron]

no way in hell bungie has the resources to manually check each and every test, surely that would be mostly if not entierly automated

[mild goblet]

Ah, I see

[woven heron]

each and every application*

[tight spire]

guys I... I didn't get it

[wet warren]

Everyone i know who played the last test seems to have been given a code

[woven heron]

maybe it'll come later, if not, shucks, maybe there'll be a next time

[arctic tapir]

It’s pretty easy to code an auto rejection based on certain answers. I’m just not sure what answers wouldnt qualify you

[dark forge]

I've got an invite. EU player

[woven heron]

its not out of the question they are prioritized, it'd be useful info

[tight spire]

technically the codes are supposed to be sent out in waves throughout the test

[deft pilot]

------- to those still waiting:

selection remains in flux
noise is not the only variable
hold position
// some signals arrive late -- but land just as deep

[woven heron]

yea, obviously we cant know what answers wouldnt qualify you, it would be silly to tell people

[gaunt stump]

bruh

[woven heron]

ahh

well thats for those not on steam right? i heard some steam folks just got theirs downloaded right off the bat

perhaps a code is needed after downloading too?

[gaunt stump]

im on steam, no more waves?

[vocal heron]

^ this, might take a day or two for some. Typically they get sent out in batches

[dense ruin]

Yooo I forgive you marathon for losing my invite, if I receive it in the next 10 minutes all will be forgotten

[plush horizon]

Later more waves

[woven heron]

im of the impression they wouldnt need that to verify that you're a playtester that got in, but im not really qualified to speak confidently on the matter

[dense ruin]

Would love to play this until arc releases lol

[arctic tapir]

I’m just saying. None of the questions really would make sense to reject someone, unless you just didn’t play games. It is annoying if they’re prioritizing previous testers tho.

[woven heron]

ye

[dense ruin]

That’s like your opinion duuuude

[tight spire]

I'm on PS5, so no idea how this works

[leaden radish]

mfs really be arguin at 6 am

[dense ruin]

PS5 mentioned…WOOOOOO

[plush horizon]

You know how to reply to users so people know who you talking to?

[tight spire]

I thought there might be a demo/beta download on the store page, but no bueno

[dense ruin]

Naaaa I don’t know how

[woven heron]

bad or not i'd like to see for myself
worst case scenario i wasted like 30 minutes of my life, womp womp
best case scenario? i had a blast!

[dense ruin]

Teach me senpei

[dark forge]

If you get invited as PS5 player you get a key in your mail to redeem in the store.

[woven heron]

insignificantly low risk, with the possibility for high reward, i'll take it.

[tight spire]

oh, okay

[thick turret]

There will be some things like minimum specs potentially. But most of it will be used to inform the feedback players give.

[plush horizon]

google "how to reply to discord messages on mobile"

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[dense ruin]

I did it comes up with “ 🖕”

[wide heath]

i vouch for you 🙏

[dawn kite]

Steam just puts it in your library to download

[wicked anvil]

It’s gonna have to happen surely

[woven heron]

ah sweet

[thick turret]

I doubt they'd want to introduce high levels of selection bias which would lead to poor generalisability in the sample pop.

[open gulch]

[proven kernel]

morning!

[dense ruin]

WE WILL BE NEXT WAVE BOIISS

[woven heron]

some bias would be a good idea, which they probably have

[dense ruin]

or else!

[worldly swift]

Hello guys, I have received my code for the test but when try to claim in PlayStation store it tells me it’s a wrong region. Both my Bungie and PSN accounts are UK? Did I receive code for wrong region? I thought it’s strictly connected to account. Any chance for help here? No way to contact Bungie on their website

[proven kernel]

ominous….

[dense ruin]

…I’ll wait till the NEXT wave

[quaint mural]

is there going to be another wave of codes ?

[woven heron]

but its unlikely their bias is very high

[severe yarrow]

10 am pt is d2 reset time right?

[wicked anvil]

next wave trust 🙏

[wide heath]

ye

[thick turret]

Totally, to an extent. It depends what the targets and parameters are for their study design. Which we don't know.

[dense ruin]

I hope they bias me

[rich fable]

sorry guys, does this closed beta exist?

[tight spire]

depends on who they want to target.
from the (unconfirmed) rumours, the game is now closer to typical extraction shooter gameplay, so perhaps they'd want a specific type of player to test the current loop?

[silk sky]

So my code still isn’t working on the ps5 store. Anyone else having this issue?

[sacred onyx]

we will be added to the NDA section if we requested access via steam?

[dense ruin]

Send me code I’ll let you know if it’s working

[woven heron]

im gonna wager they want feedback on whats good/bad, bug fixes, what needs small tweaks and what needs a whole overhaul

[plush horizon]

They should have but does not seem like it, I filled in the form literally the second it went live, and the day steam access went live I also applied literally the second I could,and no access, and I assure you I meet the min specs XD

It is prob completely random selection dependant if you have the min specs

[tight spire]

someone who played extraction shooters, or is generally interested in the genre, but is otherwise a more casual/mainstream player (CoD, BF, Fortnite etc.)?

[woven heron]

they will not let everyone in

[dark forge]

Maybe your region is not available in the closed beta?

[rich fable]

sorry guys, does this closed beta exist?

[dense ruin]

There’s an old urban legend that says yes

[fluid fox]

Looks like I got my invite!

[silk sky]

I’m UK so pretty sure it is

[tight spire]

well I've never seen it!

[woven heron]

each individual testers are low quality compared to your typical qualified game tester who gets paid to test games
however, we are in far greater quantity

[worldly swift]

Same is issue as Marshall74 rofl

[meager girder]

When is today's wave of invites happening?

[worldly swift]

Hopefully they consider UK as Europe

[plush horizon]

We dont know its random time

[tranquil pendant]

🚬

[woven heron]

they are also testing it on the target audience, as well as being able to test how the game handles larger amount of people

[dense ruin]

Sometime between now and end of day

[thick turret]

I'm in the UK and have had no issues. I don't think it's entirely based on region.

[woven heron]

testing like this is a good idea

[meager girder]

Thanks 🫃

[tight spire]

the latter are fairly low quality as well. they just get told what to test, unlike average joes like us, and can log this stuff properly

[gloomy horizon]

i havent participated in the previous tests but i have sunk a ton of hours into d2 & the other games mentioned in the survey and managed to get in so im not too sure what they’re looking for in testers.

[wide heath]

have you tried to change your region on the console?

[crude sigil]

Well it counts to the european continent. The UK ist only no more a member of the european Union.

[woven heron]

the latter do more than that, well, they're supposed to do more than that

[dawn kite]

They do, I’m from uk and have access

[woven heron]

UK isnt in the eu, but is still in europe

[worldly swift]

God damn it then, stuck with code which I can’t claim omg!

[thick turret]

A large part of it comes down to very targeted testing and the cumulative hours that players get over a group of play testers.

[woven heron]

should probably seek out support for that, unsure of how though

[worldly swift]

This is worse than not receiving code at all

[dense ruin]

Okay boys

Not gonna lie

[arctic lance]

Lmao the code they gave me said it was already used very cool

[woven heron]

im not sure i follow but i think thats because this is a littleout of my lane

[wide heath]

change your region and try again

[latent citrus]

were you in the previous alpha

[dense ruin]

WE GOT THE INVITE

[woven heron]

alright, or dont, im not a cop

[plush horizon]

Lucky

[dense ruin]

Not into email tho..I had to check the Bungie site and code section

[silver pivot]

when does test go live and let people in?

[arctic lance]

whats wild 'bout that

[woven heron]

its a forest only wild things are here

[plush horizon]

<t:1761152400:f> - <t:1761670800:f>

[outer sonnet]

is secret channel open yet?

[latent citrus]

10 am pt*

[tight spire]

I mean, I have friends who are legitimate game testers, and it's pretty much doing tasks all day and logging what breaks and what doesn't. granted, it's an external company vs. internal tests, but still

[dense ruin]

On ps5 (app) it won’t let me download it yet tho, it let me redeem it but not start download

[arctic lance]

I cant the codes they gave me were already redeemed

[silver pivot]

much obliged

[proven kernel]

it’s the same code for the april test. redownload it from your library and you’re fine.

[latent citrus]

converty that to your own time zone

[plush horizon]

Its formated to show the time for you locally

[woven heron]

i'll take your word for it over mine there

[latent citrus]

oh I had no clue that was a function on discord

[woven heron]

i think im just talking out of my ass in hindsight

[latent citrus]

that's pretty neat

[spiral silo]

Just signed up for the game im so excited to play it

[mental crag]

Does checking the bungie website tell you if you got in still?

[tranquil pendant]

[crude sigil]

No

[boreal panther]

Pretty sure email is the main way they send out codes

[crude sigil]

Just says survey expired

[hybrid peak]

i got in 😄 it was just in my steam library

[cunning crest]

Ehat day dies this start again

[latent citrus]

you can check your redeem codes section afaik

[silk sky]

I was selected but didn’t play as was travelling

[quaint mural]

where is the code section ?

[thick turret]

You are correct. Also the link to the survey.

[plush horizon]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Codes/Redeem
Check there

[latent citrus]

then if you previously applied the code to your account, it should be in your library, I personally don't use playstation but I've heard it doesn't show up on the app so you have to use the console to check for it

[mental crag]

Seems didn’t make it again ggs see you guys during the next update lol

[thick turret]

To add to this. "Game Codes" will be a drop down option if you've been accepted.

[latent pebble]

do you get a email from bungie ? Or from steam ?

[fickle shale]

so is this the chat for ppl with codes? idk how i have acces to this channel

[proven kernel]

more waves are going out, so you might get luckily.

[latent citrus]

it's not

[vocal heron]

The marathon Community forums / help Center seems to be open, not entirely sure if you're actually able to make a post yet or not but it might be a good way to get support etc for some 🗣️ 📢

[plush horizon]

There is still waves gonna go out but I also have not been accepted to any of the tech tests XD

[fickle shale]

if u get access through steam, u'll get an email from them

[latent citrus]

that one still isn't open

[worldly swift]

Changed my region in psstore and still can’t claim, god damn it,
Will try community forums then

[fickle shale]

Marathon Playtest is now available in your library! 😎

[thick turret]

I got one from Bungie (it was delayed by a few hours). I've heard of people getting them via steam though.

[tight spire]

guys

guys guys guys

[mental crag]

Haha highly doubt it that was the hope I had last time and just wasted hours in the discord coping. At least this time it’s under nda and not a fomo test

[tight spire]

^^^ DO THIS

[dense ruin]

Anyone know if there will be a channel here for those of us who got in, to talk about it/ report bugs?

[proven kernel]

ah. i’m sure there will be an open beta at some point in the future.

[latent citrus]

there will be, it's supposed to go live when the tech test opens

[tight spire]

literally check your bungie account and see if there's a game code there right now

[plush horizon]

Yeah there will be a channel #🐛alpha_access

[dense ruin]

Thank you KJ

[wicked anvil]

holy shit next wave trust got in

[radiant pine]

is the game just 5-6gb??

[hybrid peak]

i get i can't share anything about the game now but i'm allowed to record stuff and reference it in a later video?

[vocal heron]

Likely just the launcher? i'd assume so.

[tranquil pendant]

We finna bridge

[tight spire]

check the NDA you signed

[radiant pine]

that would make sense

[ornate temple]

ill stream the game on twitch

[latent citrus]

on console it's larger so it will be getting a update later if you're reffering to the steam version

[leaden cairn]

Bungie please let me in 😭 I was there for the closed alpha and I wanna see what they’ve updated so badly. I actually enjoyed playing it

[plush horizon]

They will remove you from the game prob XD

[hybrid peak]

i have read it but if you read it also

[plush horizon]

Or like last time remove NDA

[proven kernel]

yeah… don’t do that.

[hybrid peak]

yes, i cant share anything now, but what when the game is released

[latent citrus]

instantly obliterated

[hybrid peak]

think it's better a rep answers than randos, no offence

[tight spire]

I'm not joking by the way: go look if there's a code at bungie.net>Account>Redeem Code>Game Codes

[river blaze]

Howww download game on ps5…

[plush horizon]

AKA HERE
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Marathon/Playtests
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Codes/Redeem

[tight spire]

I agree

[dense ruin]

I’m assuming we can’t till it goes live

[thick turret]

It's how I found out too. Came in hours before my email confirmation and minutes before the survey told me I was in.

[dense ruin]

That’s how I found mine

[proven kernel]

nope. ndas are indefinite.

[wicked anvil]

yeah emails are way off with the exception of when you applied via Steam

That + the overall communication has been handled very weirdly in my opinion

they obviously don’t owe anybody anything but some clarity would’ve been appreciated

[thick turret]

Yeahhh, Bungie have never been great with their emails :/ Always expect them to be delayed.

[mental crag]

Idk what’s harder getting a invite to this game or finding a job in this economy lol

[hybrid peak]

the language can support that indeed

[onyx blaze]

both

[hushed quiver]

Can iam ask you? Me friend have preload iam not now noting. Will there be another wave of invitations?

[ember mountain]

W @smoky dome for answering so many questions

[plush horizon]

Yes

[wicked anvil]

not having your artwork stolen and finding it in Marathon (please don’t take my access away bungo)

[ripe halo]

so how is the whole NDA part gonna work?
i applied on steam so im not sure the "we will send you it if you linked you discord on sign up" part will apply

[verbal summit]

2nd time not getting in ggs

[plush horizon]

By gaining access you have acceppted it basically

[plush horizon]

w luck

[ripe halo]

ah ok

[tight spire]

have you checked the website?

[novel oak]

Any idea what time it opens up USA eastern?

[mental crag]

You know the funny part is if it was under nda they prob would have had it on release and oof

[ornate temple]

hm

[sour marsh]

1

[proven kernel]

1 pm

[hybrid peak]

well that was anti-climatic, i got accepted, installed but i dont have acess when i get in the game?

[novel oak]

Thanks!

[plush horizon]

<t:1761152400:f> - <t:1761670800:f> < formated to your time

[boreal panther]

It might be in order I applied litterly 10mins after the application went out and got my email code this morning

[verbal summit]

@tight spire i requested through steam on 13th when it opened

[novel oak]

Thanks!

[sour marsh]

Gotta wait till 10am pst

[tight spire]

ah, don't know how that works then, sorry. you might get in the next wave?

[novel oak]

Awesome I’m gonna set an alarm now

[hybrid peak]

farkin timezoneeees!!! xDD

right.. that time over there. alrighty, later then xD

[wicked anvil]

I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt and say they really had no clue and while jts hurting them a little bit it’s good this happened now instead of way further down the line

[tranquil pendant]

[ripe halo]

is there any place i can read the NDA?
i wanna know if im allowed to screenshare to friends or not

[mild goblet]

Make a second Sun to eliminate the need for time zones

[proven kernel]

you can’t send screenshots.

[magic rose]

did it started?

[hybrid peak]

doc oc is actually a good person to look up to, good idea

[sour marsh]

Bungie will knock on your door lol

[plush horizon]

<t:1761152400:f> - <t:1761670800:f>

• The above times are local to your device's time

[thick turret]

They won't have signed an NDA, so you can't unfortunately :/

[ripe halo]

understood

[foggy raptor]

bro NDA is NDA, what are u talking about

[magic rose]

thankyou

[hybrid peak]

oh no.. thats like 7 hours from now.. sadness...

[latent citrus]

I'm pretty sure it's gonna pop up at the beginning of the tech test when you open it

[proven kernel]

with the nda the only thing you are really allowed to do is to say you are in the test.

[latent citrus]

yeag

[boreal panther]

Yeah but diffrent games have different levels of ndas some games don’t even let you publicly say if you like the game or not

[arctic jungle]

Anyone looking for a stack today? Platform doesn’t matter

[hoary hornet]

So they are sending out the same codes. My wife gave me her code during the first alpha and I couldn’t play because it was tied to her account. She got accepted AGAIN but it’s the same code that was used therefore WE CANT PLAY AGAIN….

[wicked anvil]

NDA more like No Destinyplayers Allowed

[proven kernel]

i have like 2500 hours in Destiny :3

[mild goblet]

I have 27

[sour marsh]

I have 7000

[latent citrus]

I hit 3k close to edge of fate launch :3(not including battle net hours)

[boreal panther]

You need to re-download the April playtest build

[swift elbow]

this game bout to die so quick

[thick turret]

I don't even want to check TimeWastedOnDestiny lol

[swift elbow]

even the discord chat is dead during a playtest lmao

[ember mountain]

I have like 4k

[proven kernel]

it would probably be more, but i’m a busy girl.

[boreal panther]

Playtest isn’t live and it’s like 6am for na

[sour marsh]

Poor rage bait dawg go to school

[ember mountain]

Did so many trials carries

[swift elbow]

it is

<t:1761152400:f> - <t:1761670800:f>

• The above times are local to your device's time

L ragebait

[boreal panther]

Nope goes live in 6 hours and 13 mins

[foggy raptor]

ye but the basic is "do not share anything about the game" so screenshot, videos and more, that's the basic of an nda

[swift elbow]

lmk when yall play a real game like arc raiders

[ember mountain]

It’s in pin messages

[craggy spoke]

Bait used to be believable

[hybrid peak]

i want Marathon to suceed. a good scifi extraction shooter has a room among the titans

[sour marsh]

Have a good day at middle school lil bro

[magic rose]

hello

[latent citrus]

game was out for most of my highschool years so alot of them are from back then :3

[celest lily]

I played 50 hours of ARC and Marathon is 100% dead on arrival. Sorry guys

[ember mountain]

Bruh I get muted for rage baiting 😭😭😭😭

[swift elbow]

marathon gonna say bye bye

[sour marsh]

Loling lil bro

[winter tulip]

sstop spamming with troll shit dude

[hoary stratus]

whacha all talkin about

[ember mountain]

This made me laugh

[hoary hornet]

Yes but the thing about that is my wife got the code originally and she gave it to me thinking I could just play it on my account. My account wasn’t accepted so it’s access denied which makes it a waste of a code. She got accepted again (I didn’t get accepted smh) and she tried to put the code in on her steam account and it’s the same code from April and that means we can’t play. This is ridiculous it makes zero sense smfh!!

[boreal panther]

That’s just your fault it’s clearly account tied you had to sign into your steam/console account to sign up

[plush horizon]

Go back to class bro XD stop trying to ragebait

[ember mountain]

That’s your fault tbh lmfao

[plush horizon]

Think I found a actual twitter user

[latent citrus]

keeping tabs on you just to make sure you don't now

[unkempt ginkgo]

I can't wait to play Marathoon!

[hoary hornet]

Again it was a mistake made. My question is why make it the same code and on top of that say oh it’s not guaranteed entry if you got in before making it seem like it’s new… lmao

[hybrid peak]

everyone says they dislike ragebaiters but they always keep engaging with it so much. its funny.

[latent citrus]

Bro's gonna be there at 00:00:01 launch time

[ember mountain]

Why are you here again

[plush horizon]

Kinda fun to entertain then to see what they say next XD

[ember mountain]

😭😭😭

[hoary hornet]

Obviously she didn’t plan on playing she just gave me the code I woke up and put the code on my steam lmfao my fault or not this is clownery LOL ggs again

[latent citrus]

u should post it

[sour marsh]

He’s bored waiting for the bus to pick him up it’s ok

[sterile cedar]

[proven kernel]

anyway…

[leaden lily]

308,000 members, you better get back to math class

[hybrid peak]

i mean sure, i guess. for some. just floods chat with negativity, seen this before lol its honestly really stupid and ruins all chats.

[latent citrus]

lmao

[iron palm]

did they give other invitations?

[boreal panther]

Next coming of Jesus Christ here to save us from the devil mr marathon

[hoary hornet]

I was literally sleeping she woke me up and was like here lmao anyway watch it be the same again probably not missing out anyway I’ll cope in peace LOL

[novel sonnet]

For People who apply directly on Steam, when access goes live ?

[latent citrus]

afaik they're still going out

[plush horizon]

<t:1761152400:f> - <t:1761670800:f>

• The above times are local to your device's time

[sterile cedar]

Jesus had 12 followers

[wicked anvil]

wonder who history’s first rage baiter was

[novel sonnet]

So we'll find out if we've been selected at the time of launch and not before, as is the case for those who applied via Bungie?

[hybrid peak]

probably some copper merchant

[thick turret]

Same time as everyone else. 10am PT :))

[plush horizon]

@proven kernel mb for ping but does UK count as europe since "It left the EU in 2020"

[boreal panther]

If you have got in 10am PT
