[misty moss]

Ok😂🙏

[placid bane]

Please check back later to see if you've gained access to the Marathon Closed Technical Test.what does tha mean?

[queen flame]

It means you weren't chosen yet

[sage river]

Just means you don’t have a code right now

[fringe acorn]

Many are called, few are chosen ....

[ashen venture]

What happened to the non-NDA feedback channel?

[placid bane]

next wave or no?

[polar parrot]

Silly question, not sure if it's NDA related since it's a setting-specific thing and not gameplay related. Would I be safe to ask someone else with access?

[obsidian plover]

Many are called, few are chosen ..

[misty moss]

/NDA

[queen flame]

Confusion resulting in too much NDA talk in non-NDA channels

[sage river]

Probably next wave, really depends

[ashen venture]

So to be clear it got taken down?

[junior sable]

check ur email

[obsidian plover]

What was that @fringe acorn

[drifting skiff]

got nuked

[queen flame]

Taken down, or hidden for now. Inaccessible either way

[fringe acorn]

Yeah i didnt mean to paste that lol

[ashen venture]

That's good

[willow night]

While waiting for access to the NDA discord channel I'll be writing all of my feedback on a Google docs document with 256-qBit quantum encryption so that I can stay true to my NDA. I hope that's alright

[drifting skiff]

I should buy another sword

[timid wigeon]

Consoles exist

[drifting skiff]

you can put it in a .txt file, just don't upload it to anything. The google docs is more of a violation than the lack of encryption

[cerulean stag]

i think the game feels worse this test then the last lmao

[drifting skiff]

imagine NDA

[celest stag]

NDA be like

[remote geode]

ik

[drifting skiff]

I should get a brace of rapiers

[cerulean stag]

imagine enforcing an NDA then having a Shit system of giving roles in discord so your play testers cant even talk

[drifting skiff]

imagine not having patience and just existing without having to project your opinions to the world

[true epoch]

i just clicked ready and matching up

[fast plover]

Games need major revamp. Start from removing all the abilities

[willow night]

What if gaining access to the NDA channel is by design harder than getting in the actual playtest to gauge the psychological requirements of the target playerbase?

[cerulean stag]

gaining access isnt hard per se

[cloud comet]

Time for me to load it up

[queen flame]

Game has characters with abilities
Someone always says remove the abilities

Ahh, classic

[vast aurora]

oh it just took a while lol

[drifting skiff]

wait can you not say psy op

[cerulean stag]

u just have to wait on discord mods which is dumb af

[sage river]

😂 sadly yea, my stupid ass didn’t understand it at first and panicked

[fast plover]

But this game is just bad tho. Abilities look all over the place. And soloq will be dominated by 1 meta class

[timid wigeon]

It's tripping up a surprising amount of people 🤣😂

[tame nacelle]

Halo Reach?

[sage river]

Speaking off April playtest, the characters abilities are fine. They just needed balance 💀

[grand plume]

@rigid umbra bah alors box on se cache ici 🙂 ouvre tes DM et revient dans le discord de brainiak si t’as les couilles 🙂

[glass harbor]

Is bro new to gaming?

[drifting skiff]

"abilities look all over the place"

mf who is looking at diversity in options

[tame nacelle]

Balance is a meme word that doesn't mean anything. Its a mental virus that marketers use to remove fun from real video games.

[dull bison]

Anyone wanna team up?? dm me!!

[drifting skiff]

balance more like falling because I can't stand this shit

am i allowed to stream the game? just want to make sure its fine

My brother you signed an nda

[prime vine]

It's a cruel joke to slap an NDA on something that's already been made public and not let us talk about it

[trail orchid]

you right, i just wanna make suree

[drifting skiff]

perish

[glass harbor]

And now he says that lol

[sage river]

But I won’t lie, it be nice to see some of the characters be hard or too easy to use tho. Brings out the fun and stress 😂

[teal mortar]

reading isn't for everyone, it's okay, i get it

[tame nacelle]

Google what NDA means lmao

[timid wigeon]

Words of someone who hasn't played the test

[crisp citrus]

I don’t have an issue with the abilities, what I wish they did was go the Destiny customization route, I don’t like being locked to skin bundles like every other game, Arc raiders put me slightly off from doing the same thing with skins but at least they have slight customization from those skins

[trail orchid]

i prob should, im not an english speaker so

[queen flame]

I wasn't around for Reach being a poor PS2 owner, but Valorant has this. Destiny obv has it. Heck, Battlefield and COD has those players too lmao. "Play my ideal way or it's bad" Just replace abilities with specific gadgets / weapons like underbarrel GL / NoobTubes.

[drifting skiff]

nda stands for no decisive action right?

[hot grail]

no reporting system no kill cams no after action report of who killed you in run summary, yet we all had to install their anti cheat to not have power to report it when it occurs? cause i just had someone come dead straight to me locked on to my location around a corner and they were not recon class using their ability to locate hostiles.honestly dumbest bullshit is not having active reporting available of these for review to actively work on having a real anti cheat like EA does. maybe just gopurchase Javelin anticheatinstead of you fakeanti cheat and no reporting feature of any kind.

[hard sable]

How'd you do it lad

[tame nacelle]

Bungie give me the goth glitch skin, no one else deserves it

[timid wigeon]

Aren't they announcing Halo for PlayStation today?

[drifting skiff]

you can't share anything from the playtest in any space aside from the NDA channels

[raw edge]

pretty sure that was me, you were being super loud and sprinting hope it helps

[neon crow]

and the game crashes a lot on zone entry and once you are back you loose your loadout ... niceeeeee

[trail orchid]

👍 got it, thanks yall :>

[fast plover]

I can lend you my account. Sincw i quit

[drifting skiff]

mfs when people have headphones on

[crisp citrus]

But other than that? There’s a good game here, just let em cook with each test, they’re backs are against the wall so I think they know what’s at stake if this goes down

[polar parrot]

skill issue tbh

[cloud comet]

Let's go I got into the game

[urban falcon]

[sage river]

Did we forgot headphones exist and people puff up the audio to listen to footsteps 😆

[timid wigeon]

I've been enjoying the test so far buddy 👍

[frail oxide]

this is wilding up fast xD

[fringe acorn]

how do you prevent the formatting for characters when they're a part of your username

[teal rose]

There is more NDA breakers than before.. my lord

[drifting skiff]

wym?

[crisp citrus]

Ong

[fast plover]

That's what concord tester said also

[frail oxide]

don't lie, no one played concord.

[glass harbor]

I know what type of man you are

[timid wigeon]

Sure buddy 👍

[teal mortar]

go outside

[sage river]

I don’t think half of us remember concord

[timid wigeon]

For sure

[cloud comet]

This isn't concord. Marathon will have a playerbase

[fringe acorn]

so i have 2 underscores in my username, but typing it out makes it look like this: torque_bow_

[polar parrot]

I know what you are

[tame nacelle]

What does the band flight of the conchords have to do with any of this

[full folio]

remember? i didnt even hear about it until it was closed down

[neon crow]

i don't have access to the nda channel ... and i won't go trough the quizz again ... so

[fast plover]

We will see. Idk why they just have to make with bs abilities

[drifting skiff]

oh, put backslashes before formatting characters

[sage river]

😭 same here ngl. I wanna say like one ad came out and it was the shutting down server LMao

[drifting skiff]

I didn't hear about it until after I'm ngl

[cerulean stag]

if this game isnt free to play it will not have a player base

[fringe acorn]

torque_\bow\_

[sleek sluice]

Did a new key wave go out or is that later in the day?

[frail oxide]

why.

[sage river]

I think honestly how most people found out 😂

[drifting skiff]

backslashes

[cloud comet]

It will if Bungie doesn't fuck it up

[nocturne nebula]

Because arc raiders is better

stupid shift key tryna sabatoge me

[craggy stream]

Day 76 of waiting for the NDA channel: The last of my expired rations ran out today. I tried to go out to scavenge for more but the UESC presence was too strong and I had to turn back. On my way I noticed another Runner searching through some supply crates. A past me would have felt bad about shooting someone in the back.. but I’m just so damn hungry.. turns out all he had was mechanical part. Perhaps I will go back to that UESC outpost. If they kill me at least I won’t be so hungry anymore. So lonely, anymore.

[sage river]

People will pay the 40 bucks and I do agree this game shouldn’t be free to play

[fast plover]

They already fked up

[frail oxide]

what's the deal with free to play games , i buyed active matter, and im not playing ABI

[fringe acorn]

torque_\bow_

[timid wigeon]

It's been 78 years...

[raw edge]

bro every time i see UESC i read it as USEC why tf did they pick that name bro

[teal rose]

not sure what you want me to say lol

[full folio]

icl they should defo make this game f2p

[errant ferry]

W

[drifting skiff]

_like this_

[frail oxide]

it doesn't make it better only because you wan't pay for it

[fringe acorn]

ill get it to work eventually

[tame nacelle]

I can't believe duke nukem forever 2 cane out.

[crisp citrus]

The game will have a playerbase nonetheless, its aesthetics alone will draw in a crowd. The amount of times I’ve heard “if this isn’t f2p it’ll die” to games that do switch to f2p they always end up dying either way lmao. It’ll do just fine

[teal mortar]

too much lore. breaking nda. prepare for jail

[glass harbor]

Not all games gotta be f2p

[fringe acorn]

torque_bow_\

[drifting skiff]

also why do mfs want the game to be free, don't y'all know that just makes it hypermonetized garbage?

[cerulean stag]

isn tth epoint at all but okay, just said it isnt worth money, doesnt make free games worth something

[sturdy roost]

Hell divers 2 isn't f2p and does well

[drifting skiff]

before

[craggy stream]

Can one eat an NDA?

[sage river]

Marathon will be like destiny, pay the price then later down the road it becomes free or a gamepass

[fast plover]

Not a same genre

[timid wigeon]

This

[pearl ore]

The biggest games in the world are F2P

[tame nacelle]

If you collect them.

[hybrid peak]

i'd prefer a paid release to offload some of the costs to cheaters buying new accounts

[teal rose]

that game is fun but have some few problems.

[drifting skiff]

nuclear delicious apple?

[glass harbor]

Can you predict yourself stepping out of your room and taking a shower?

[teal mortar]

torque\__bow_

[timid wigeon]

So I guess Arc Raiders will flop then 😂

[crisp citrus]

Or they pull another Forsaken or Iron Wolves expansion comeback and we love bungo again

[sage river]

I mean I do it daily 🤔

[fringe acorn]

torque_bow_

[timid wigeon]

Renegades is gonna be fire

[sage river]

Didn’t forsaken get removed off the expansions tho? 😂

[fast plover]

Arc raider is quality game. People buy good game not whatever marathon is

[carmine vault]

anybody knows how to fix GPU usage not at 100? CPU is not hitiing100 so i dont think I am getting a CPU bottleneck

[crisp citrus]

I’m keeping my eye out for that, just bc of star wars so lets see 👀

[sturdy roost]

I like Marathon. It needs some work. 4th map better be a vault of glass moment. That's my feedback

[pearl ore]

That’s not my point, my point is simply put, that the biggest games in the world right now “competitive shooters and mobas” are the biggest games in the world. I will be spending money arc raiders, it’s gonna be amazing

[teal mortar]

at last

[tame nacelle]

Bungie. Please revive APB reloaded. And the matrix online. These are both relevant to marathons success because. ....

[fluid kelp]

Ia your GPU hitting 100% though ?

[frail oxide]

it is worth money... it's not that shit like you're trying to make it look, it just need some constructive criticism , changes, and some love. but you need to have some interest for marathon to at least get some interest for the game... idk.

[timid wigeon]

So you agree all games don't have to be f2p 👍

[sage river]

How tf is APB reloaded still growing strong and they have a Halloween event going on now

[fringe acorn]

i am on medicine and strep throated so iam a little loopy thank you

[fast plover]

I prefer if good games are paid.

[carmine vault]

No, thats what I am trying to figure out. FPS is a bit low because of it

[drifting skiff]

wait that's still alive???

[sturdy roost]

The 40 dollar value proposition is Bungies problem to figure out

[sage river]

Yea, I got an email about it LMAO

[teal mortar]

you got there in the end. i believed in you the whole time

[tame nacelle]

It HAS A LOYAL FAN BASE

[pearl ore]

Sorry that was meant for @timid wigeon

[rich solstice]

Marathon has been fun for me, game just isnt for you

[fringe acorn]

thank you nuel

[drifting skiff]

HOW TF LMAO I PLAYED THAT SHIT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

[carmine vault]

its not, It is arund 70

[frail oxide]

apb reloaded... omg i remember stealing some televisors with a van 🤣

[tame nacelle]

Because ITS FUN

[fluid kelp]

Don't mind me I didn't read your message properly. Are you on AMD ?

[drifting skiff]

yeaaaaah that's fair

[carmine vault]

yes

[crisp citrus]

Arc Raiders is gonna be great, I think Marathon has a shot of being top 3 in the genre of extraction shooters imo, since every other extract shooter looks way too generic or a copy of Tarkov

[fringe acorn]

it is just GTA WOW

[fluid kelp]

Is FSR on ?

[sage river]

😭 i remember I couldn’t get up a ladder in APB and someone got on the mic, started to lecture me

[drifting skiff]

weird thing but it felt like the gmod RP servers but made into a full game

[fast plover]

Hope marathon delays again and figure this game out.

[drifting skiff]

lil bit different but not that different

[obsidian plover]

mawning peggy

[molten hare]

Is anyone actually in the nda channel?

[tame nacelle]

You can play your music in game in your cars speakers and make your dream crimeclowngirl

[limber atlas]

Is there an official marathon channel specifically for the closed testing.

[obsidian plover]

how you doin

[sturdy roost]

Last night no joke I saw several comments of people saying they haven't played Marathon but they know they're going to hate it and arc raiders is better. Just insane

[drifting skiff]

wait what am I doing here I could be playing marathon

[proven kernel]

Pedgun, I'm too busy today.

[carmine vault]

tried with and without same problem. FPS is not great. not much of a difference between High And low settings

start making dariacore

[fluid kelp]

It looks flawless on mine with FSR on but it's FSR 4 I don't know if you're on RDNA 3 or older

[frank vault]

And? Audio is actually good in Arc, it's harder to catch people sneaking up on you in this game then the 3rd person one

[obsidian plover]

buns moment

[fast plover]

But there are other f2p extraction .

[timid wigeon]

Just like D2 emote 3rd person emoting to look around corners

[drifting skiff]

idk what that means I'm ngl

[frail oxide]

omg what's the deal wit that, putting random shits in videogames talks xD keep your flag for yourself sir, we don't give a fuck.

[carmine vault]

6950xt. so no fsr 4. getting only 80 fps tho. doesnt look right. CPU at 70 and gpu stuck at like 60 \

[tame nacelle]

It means sick sad world crop tops, angsty art phases and Caroline wheel.

[drifting skiff]

I feel like I'm closer to tgirl mom than tgirl liaison because I'm not online enough to keep up with all this whatevercore

[proven kernel]

There is too much of it tbh

[crisp citrus]

That are gonna die out when Tarkov hits steam storefront, Arena Breakout and Delta force instantly lost me when I tried them out since it was a mobile version of EFT lmao

[drifting skiff]

ohhhhh so me in high school

[timid wigeon]

And there are great ones that aren't... Cough cough Tarkov

[teal mortar]

Doesn't sound like a bottleneck then. Unless it's RAM but I doubt it 🤔

[drifting skiff]

so like breakcore but with... daria?

[carmine vault]

32Gb and game stays at around 16

[polar parrot]

with daria :)

[sage river]

What are these cores? I never heard of half of these 💀

[proven kernel]

DOn't worry about it.

[teal mortar]

not saying i wouldn't join this religion.....

[fast plover]

Tarkov is killing it self. abi has 100k player with 2 platform and steam has 50k rn. Delta force peak new high each week. So no

[rich acorn]

Hope they let me into the nda chats soon

[hybrid peak]

they seem to be spawning from the corecore

[drifting skiff]

I do remember listening to breakcore compilations to fall asleep tho

[fluid kelp]

I wouldn't worry too much though it must simply be that the game is not yet quite optimised. I never saw my GPU nor CPU hit 100% on Destiny 2 either.

[sage river]

Maybe we should burn it all

[thorny cloak]

Evil spells

[drifting skiff]

maplestory more like oaktale

[scenic meteor]

I’m so tired gang

[sturdy roost]

Tarkov is really unforgiving. It's the pubg of extraction shooters

[drifting skiff]

hiiii pedguin

[proven kernel]

Ugh, I need to be looking at this thai menu and not talking about Daria. That's what I got on to do...

[carmine vault]

true. I had no problem on D2 tho. This game seems like its not utilizing the gpu that well for some reason. My GPU should be doign more than 80 fps for usre

[past hazel]

D2 can hit GPU 100. Depends on setup of course.
But:
Marathon seems very CPU Heavy. Like in I'm bottlenecked by my 5800x3D.

[crisp citrus]

I see more content on Tarkov and hype around 1.0 release than I do for any updates on ABI or DF, despite the criticisms people are still hooked on EFT simply because of what it offers to players and the feeling of the mechanics are second to none, but we’ll just have to wait and see

[drifting skiff]

makes me happy that I upgraded my cpu before playing ngl

[carmine vault]

what is your cpu usage in game

[timid wigeon]

I honestly hope Burnt Peanut has access to this test, running into him would be hilarious 😂

[past hazel]

Yep. Kind of a handful game really utilizing much CPU now. Which is good. But I need the upgrade as well. I'm on 38 inch lol

[fluid kelp]

I got no problems with either D2 nor Marathon, both run at 120+ FPS on my setup without upscaling but honestly, 80fps isn't too bad. I wouldn't worry much

[pastel junco]

NDA

[crisp citrus]

That’d be so funny

[past hazel]

Between 85-90, sometimes more or less.

[rare needle]

[fluid kelp]

Hmmm, I'm not hitting 100% on my 5700X

[fringe acorn]

Nothing

[jade cobalt]

i thought NDA meant footage not vague discussion

[vestal tusk]

Just basically in game

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

Now I see what happens if you run out of [REDACTED] and don't [REDACTED]

[past hazel]

Sometimes you need to read the value as doubled. If maybe using RTSS Overlay, which I do.

[jade cobalt]

i understand

[obsidian plover]

Peggy moment

[drifting skiff]

it means literally anything about the nda aside from "I'm in it"

[crisp citrus]

Lowkey if they give peanut some goop for a sponsored stream for Marathon that’s an easy playerbase to grab right there 👀

[obsidian plover]

let it ride

[fluid kelp]

Don't know what RTSS is.

[past hazel]

Yeah ok 😄 I'm in a luxus "problem" myself, but not complaining. Only stating it's using MUCH CPU.

[jade cobalt]

but talking about performance is OK?

[drifting skiff]

oh no I understand lol, i've just had this monitor since I was a kid

[gleaming bough]

Radiation u say? 👀

[proven kernel]

6 foot 20, made of radiation.

[fringe acorn]

Alright yall, aboutta jump in for my first games of the day. gonna try to take it real easy, as i am slowly withering away from strep throat

[edgy gate]

My parents, Nan's, Brother who knows my dog mysteriously disappeared after releasing the windows short cut logo

[jade cobalt]

my specs are Ryzen 7 9800X3d and a RX 7800XT playing at 3440 x 1440 and I have to say, for me the performance is [REDACTED]

[red prawn]

I find it so crazy that you're able to load into [...] and [...] [................] like that makes the game so fun

[sturdy roost]

My super contraversial opinion is Marathon is fun. Shocking

[teal mortar]

good luck discord user torque_bow_

[brazen snow]

Damn still no code / email

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[fathom pagoda]

[pulsar scarab]

how dare you say something so vile, so wrong, you heathen

[red prawn]

We can't say the game is fun?

[fluid kelp]

NDA more like Nuts, Deez Aaaaahh

[proven kernel]

'em, got

[iron blaze]

🦔

[fringe acorn]

Yesterday, someone got put in an hour timeout for saying they were enjoying the game

[white glen]

Was about to say something about the gamei was excited for but then i remembered NDA 🤐

[red prawn]

Oh 💀

Alright i will be shutting up it seems

[jade cobalt]

we must be ungovernable, they cant sue us all

[alpine schooner]

My Code is not working... or at least it was not last night.

[proven kernel]

ok... I can be mean, but I'm not that mean.

[steep lantern]

They don't want us talking about it, they don't want us enjoying it, Bungie should just hang up their game making license and retire the company, or sell it off to someone who cares

[teal mortar]

my stance on this game is: it exists

[sturdy roost]

My other contraversial opinion is you should try both arc raiders and marathon and enjoy them both

[red prawn]

If you're on pc, check your steam! Should've updated immediately without having to input a code

The game is called "Marathon Closed Technical Test"

[iron blaze]

I like the game, and i am not afraid to say it

[alpine schooner]

On PS5 and it was an invalid code.

[cursive umbra]

I've got no gear, so we are going in MGS style

[obsidian plover]

Were you part of the original test?

[thorny cloak]

You won’t get this from the UESC, but Sekiguchi is secretly making Freddy Fazbear. It’s true.

[jade cobalt]

i dont understand why Bungie wouldnt want discussion about the game. Valve doesnt NDA ppl for Deadlock even tho thats also a closed alpha.

[alpine schooner]

Yep.

[obsidian plover]

re-download it from the library, you're g2g.

[red prawn]

If you were in the first alpha, you can just reinstall that

[magic rose]

Why haven't they done an open test yet ? This game has been in development for years now

[steep lantern]

Cuz Bungie knows what would happen

[fluid kelp]

Idk it's weird. It's only an extraction shooter and they're treating it like it's the project of the century

[limber aspen]

This game is dead on arrival

[red prawn]

^^^ it's an early copy of the game

[proven kernel]

Go to your library and it should be in there to redownload.

[calm remnant]

leave

[obsidian plover]

You may need to use the web browser version of PSN to send it down to your playstation if it's not listed in the gams on your system. @alpine schooner

[jade cobalt]

just wrap it up and make Destiny 3

[magic rose]

Bungie is owned by Sony now. Different reactions would happen.

[fluid kelp]

Maybe the NDA is because of the art they stole

[wind monolith]

so how soon do we get access to the NDA channels cuz like

[proven kernel]

This too

[magic rose]

They did not steal anything

[thorny cloak]

Later probably

[steep lantern]

That doesn't help their case, all these big companies are shit

[amber nexus]

They did tho

[magic rose]

Prove it

[obsidian plover]

they did not.

[fluid kelp]

Sorry, "copied"

[magic rose]

Again prove it

[crisp citrus]

Me being baited by Bethesda for thinking they’d announce a new Fallout title yesterday 💀

[amber nexus]

Sorry, the art lead stole it

[magic rose]

I have never once seen anything in Marathon from another video game. So

[obsidian plover]

not a lead.

OK brb. MEETINGS. See ya'll in a bit.

[amber nexus]

Yes brochacho it was the art lead

[tawdry prism]

:p

[proven kernel]

same...

[steep lantern]

I wanna die

[cursive umbra]

It's all marketing
Bad reveal, secret fixed alpha, roll out with bobblehead pfhor

[magic rose]

Instead of accusing people of stealing art why don't you guys just say what was "stolen" lol

[graceful egret]

Revisionist history already???? It was a mistake and we can move on but it definitely happened.

[jade cobalt]

if they add the Ace of Spades to the game ill forgive them for everything

[amber nexus]

Antireal 2017 poster design

[magic rose]

Oh a poster from almost 10 years ago. Got it

[pliant pine]

just extracted with 1s remaining while a guy next to me got oblitarated by uescs. CINEMA

[amber nexus]

So just because it was 10 years ago it wasn’t theft

[magic rose]

Basically yeah

[steep lantern]

Moth

[amber nexus]

What if I stole the Mona Lisa that’s like even more than 10 years ago

[magic rose]

Statue of limitations don't care about your feelings

[jade cobalt]

10 years does not make it a public work and the artist wasnt compensated (afaik) so it would still be theft

[magic rose]

Statutes of limitations exist for a reason that the courts don't agree with that it doesn't matter

[sturdy roost]

A lower level artist used placeholder assets and Bungie forgot to remove them. That's it

[supple kelp]

wasnt it decals? because Marathon's artstyle is not unique nor invented by bungie or Antireal :P

[vernal solstice]

to be fair an image of the mona lisa may not be copyrighted which is what we're talking about here, but what bungie did was still wrong

[magic rose]

Clearly there's not a case here or it would have been taken to court for copyright

[calm matrix]

another day i dont have an invite key in my email is another day i lose my mind

[ivory knot]

lol coping bc bungie are on record taking "inspiration" from community artists for d2 assets

[north turtle]

So it changed from survey expired to saying...... Please check back later to see if you've gained access to the Marathon Closed Technical Test. I think Im up soon

[graceful egret]

It was 1:1 copies of her work in the game. They’re now removed but it was literally 1:1 material.

[teal mortar]

you don't have to defend bungie. the game can still be fun even if some ppl on the team messed up

[wintry pollen]

Does anyone know if I can stream the game to my buddy on discord?

[amber nexus]

I think people are mis-understanding the point wasn’t what they stole but the fact that they stole

[late zephyr]

how long does it take to get in? I applied aroudn the time of the first test.

[magic rose]

Destiny is garbage 🤷

[meager falcon]

Is that how it works?

[jade cobalt]

it could also be that Bungie and Sony are huge companies that would stretch out the case to bleed the artist dry

[late zephyr]

as long as ur buddy dont record it and rat u out to bungie, ur good

[vernal solstice]

they changed the message

[amber nexus]

I was providing a counter example to things being old being no longer property

[north turtle]

Why would it change when i checked.. I can only hope im up next

[steep lantern]

Bro

[amber nexus]

We have copyright protection for 75 years or whatever it is in US

[steep lantern]

Worm

[magic rose]

Legally speaking they did nothing wrong. Statue of limitations exist

[frozen cape]

Was everyone from the first test gonna be in the 2nd one or do i re apply

[magic rose]

Also it clearly is not that big of a deal or the person that made it originally would have been crying and they haven't been

[still crane]

So uhm... any voice channels for vidmasters to meet up? (we won't exchange illegal copyrighted material 😛 )

[final mauve]

ME

[magic rose]

This is honestly the first time that I've heard about them stealing anything so clearly it was never a big issue to begin with

[mossy sierra]

is there a lfg here?

[steep lantern]

No

[graceful egret]

Mike why are you lawyering up for Bungie when they accepted the blame when it was very fresh and very blatant

[north turtle]

So youre saying.... Im still in the dark

[final mauve]

Im a vidmaster fr

[magic rose]

Just Bungie haters doing what they do best

[amber nexus]

Statute is about time the harm was caused not the duration of the copyright

[mossy sierra]

anyone got in that wants to play together?

[magic rose]

No court would see them lose

[amber nexus]

You don’t even know your one argument

[sturdy roost]

Also unless you are psychic you can't know whether Bungie was maliciously stealing assets or didn't have a good process in place to make sure placeholder assets have been removed. Don't assign to malice what you can attribute to incompetence

[magic rose]

They have no grounds here there is no case nothing was ever copied or stolen

[still crane]

YEs

[magic rose]

This reminds me of when people accused call of duty of stealing art lol

[jade cobalt]

the statute of limitations for copyright infringement is 3 years from when the infringement was discovered or should have been, the game was announced in 2023 so the statute of limitations has not passed i believe. correct me if im wrong

[amber nexus]

Sorry, didn’t mean to steal the Mona Lisa maliciously just wanted it for my house : (

[steep lantern]

I got in on the first day, I have to sa-

[north turtle]

So theres nothing significant about me getting the message "Please check back later to see if you've gained access to the Marathon Closed Technical Test."

[crisp citrus]

Shiiiit do you remember the Santa Zombie ai art they used for a bundle? 😭

[magic rose]

So

[wicked prawn]

[boreal juniper]

wasnt there like, a loss meme that made it into the game cause of how blatantly they stole the artwork..

[sturdy roost]

Legally speaking it's not the same thing

[meager falcon]

I think it’s just expired man we ain’t getting in I don’t think😔

[queen flame]

Yes

[magic rose]

Imagine crying over AI when I'm willing to bet marathon uses it

[fringe acorn]

time to go for another run

[graceful egret]

Yes, because it was literally a copy of her work in the game lmao

[queen flame]

That's changing the subject, mike lmao

[lilac heron]

lol some guy was streaming marathon over on twitch for like 2 hrs, what a goober, rip his money, lawsuits bout to hit

[white glen]

The AI is part of the games plot and story, trust

[steep lantern]

Another run? One could say.. a Marathon?

[solid bison]

anyone else on steam and wanna squad up be nice to run with ppl with mics

[magic rose]

Just was a fan crying that a big company made something similar. So she lied to get money

[north turtle]

my friend just got access today. Theres hope

[keen sun]

Im not getting in am I😭

[fringe acorn]

make better ragebait

[steep lantern]

No

[meager falcon]

When did he sign up?

[north turtle]

hold on

[graceful egret]

Dude this HAS to be rage bait lmfao

[teal mortar]

mike bud you gotta take a deep breath. maybe drink some water

[hybrid peak]

to be fair, that art style was popularised back in the 90's with games like wipeout

[sturdy roost]

Ehhh it's true that Bungie screwed up. We can acknowledge reality without running cover for Bungie

[magic rose]

Nope. Just say the truth and it pisses people off because people these days don't want the truth

[ivory knot]

imagine simping for corpos in 2025

[amber nexus]

He wants in on the PT

[calm matrix]

did he sign up through steam or through the bungie site?

[magic rose]

Imagine getting behind a lie to make a company look bad ?

[teal mortar]

this cant be good for ur blood pressure my guy

[wide prawn]

lol, lmao

[amber nexus]

Especially after that god awful d2 expansion

[ivory knot]

whats the lie?

[graceful egret]

Bro is flying out to Bungie tomorrow to play renegades

[amber nexus]

2 greens and a blue

[steep lantern]

Or a crisp refreshing Angry Orchard Hard Cider™

[celest stag]

im frying

[iron blaze]

all of them

[magic rose]

If my ass was getting flown out to play the game early. Why would I be in here talking lol

[north turtle]

i think through bungie. I signed up through both

[wintry mantle]

*2 tokens and a blue

[fluid kelp]

I think you're too emotionally involved in this. They stole art, end of. It's been proven. You're just denying it because you're emotional about it for some reason. It's a big company buddy, you don't need to ride them. Just buy their products if you want. Either way I'm not bothered nor that interested and involved.

[amber nexus]

Nah some of the recent ones were prettt fun

[ivory knot]

cuz you a 🤡

[hearty garden]

That narrows it down… 🤭

[magic rose]

Okay but prove that they stole it in a court of law

[amber nexus]

The tokens were green

[iron blaze]

worth coming back?

[magic rose]

Facts don't care about your public opinion

[late zephyr]

U are such an absolute idiot.

[queen flame]

Guys, you gotta stop talking to Mike. Don't feed the trolls

[calm matrix]

Damn i think thats why i didnt get it. My homie told me to sign up and i only did it through steam. Didnt get the key.

[fringe acorn]

A court does not discriminate against what is and what is not true

[graceful egret]

Unfortunately there are no friend invites this time around.

[teal mortar]

alright anyways how's everyone else doing

[amber nexus]

No no no they removed fun with recent expansion if you caught it before it dropped no but they ruined everything

[ivory knot]

i think you mispelled "feelings", my brother in christ

[magic rose]

Okay but screw the public opinion lol

[late zephyr]

and ur opinion, is not fact. move on.

[wet crag]

where is the NDA discord, is it here? it just need perms to see?

[fringe acorn]

Do you understand how a jury works

[graceful egret]

OPINION??

[crisp citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/crash-and-burn-gif-27090273

[worthy cloak]

They’re rolling it out slowly

[queen flame]

Yeah a huge lot of us are waiting on permissions

[magic rose]

Public opinion is not more important than a Court's rule of law.

[ivory knot]

guys, should we tell him hes part of the public?

[iron blaze]

#tech-test-nda-info-start-here

[amber nexus]

Uhhh statute of limitations?

[smoky kernel]

the NDA channel doesnt exist

[wet crag]

ok i had a feeling. thx for confirm

[steep lantern]

give me access or give me death!!!

[sturdy roost]

It is both true that Bungie forgot to remove placeholder assets and made a huge mistake, while also not being legally culpable for theft. Time to move on

[amber nexus]

I swear bro I’ve waited 2 day now where are me free quests tutorials

[magic rose]

You guys just hate bungie, you guys just hate Marathon, you are only in here to attack people that speak the truth you don't even care about the game so why are you guys here

[meager falcon]

But did he sign up a while ago?

[magic rose]

Why do you think I left the first time I came in here

[late zephyr]

@magic rose Bungie publicly confirmed that the concern was valid: they acknowledged “unauthorized use of artist decals in Marathon” and said they had “confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game.”

[amber nexus]

We haven’t attacked anything other than faulty arguments

[pliant pine]

its just 3 guys

[north turtle]

he signed up like 2 days ago LOL

[graceful egret]

Mike you live in a completely different realm, I cannot fathom just how many layers of delusion your live under.

[meager falcon]

Idk even know what you’re talking about but this alone makes me feel as if though you are wrong

[magic rose]

So an employee grab something off the internet and used it in their game. This happens almost every game

[gleaming bough]

YOU CANNOT SHARE WHATS IN THE GAME

I've been the leader of Dads of Destiny for 11 years and can say... Blind hate is stupid, but so is blind alleigance

[fiery blaze]

Hi, can anyone help me? When I open the game, I get a message that says "Failed to download authentication files." What should I do?

[north turtle]

theres hope. we have like 4 days left

[late zephyr]

We would assume, but it doesnt get claimed how this did. Also, bungie is a huge company, not some random third party BS dev that stole an asset.

[meager falcon]

Lmao

[magic rose]

Well I'd rather be on the other side of the fence because when it comes down to it guess who's getting removed from the server first. Everybody hating on the developers

[iron blaze]

never heard of that one

[ivory knot]

pretty sure this argument is a logical fallacy

[north turtle]

and apparently if we dont get it this time. Late november theres some other beta going on for marathon

[fringe acorn]

Good

[magic rose]

I do realize that they can ban you from here even for talking shit

[amber nexus]

Lmao no , I can still play

[magic rose]

Maybe you guys should realize that too

[meager falcon]

This is just sad to hear man

[fringe acorn]

guy why are you even in here

[chrome gull]

hey guys are you enjoying the beta?? 😄 i am!!

[late zephyr]

no ones getting removed lol

[magic rose]

You are in their discord server you are to abide by their rules you are here for them. This is their discord server they own it

[north turtle]

Theres hope brothers and sisters

[amber nexus]

Holy

[fossil tulip]

since i still dont have access to mctt channel i decided to create my own discord for nda talks 🤡

[opaque delta]

I like mayonnaise

[fluid kelp]

Not sure. Extraction shooters aren't my thing. I like the style of this game though.

[teal mortar]

why am i watching this crashout when i could be hopping on a run.......

[iron blaze]

👢

[graceful egret]

Mike it is not hate to state an established fact, yes it was stolen art.

[dark kelp]

Anyone having toruble getting past the user agreement?

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[ivory knot]

white knight? nah, mike knight

[late zephyr]

Whoever jsut tagged me, we arent discussing nay of that, so idk why u brought it up lol

[fringe acorn]

gotta hold the button

[wind monolith]

what do u gain from this level of corporate glazing dude

[magic rose]

Imagine being in an official discord server ran by the developers and then hating on the developers. Go to a community discord and do that

[chrome gull]

same, never played a game like this before

[late zephyr]

whos hating?

[opaque delta]

Why are we talking about marathon when we could be marathoning the marathon

[amber nexus]

Hard to find certain things so hoping to get nda channel access

[magic rose]

Okay but all of you people hating on the game and on the developers are part of the toxicity

[ivory knot]

he must be really backed up lol

[frank vault]

marathons not good enough for a comminity discord lel

[muted flint]

Are there any plans to add gyro aim for ps5?

[late zephyr]

because 90% of us cant marathon the marathon

[fluid kelp]

Not even Arc Raiders ? It's my exception

[opaque delta]

Skill issue

[sturdy roost]

Can we get talk about something interesting like what the endgame might be

[lost delta]

apparently you cant negative react with emojis or else youll get instantly banned, whats the link to the discord ban appeal?

[fossil tulip]

thats what brings the commuinty together ❤️

[solid bison]

anyone else playing on steam trying to team up?

[pliant pine]

Im marathoning all over my marathon

[opaque delta]

I hope they add dance emotes

[calm matrix]

the worst best genre of game. IMO rust and minecraft factions pioneered the genre. and tarky ofc.

[dark kelp]

OMG IM SUMB THANK YOU

[magic rose]

Thankfully people like this will be banned from the arc discord

[opaque delta]

Like fortnite

[chrome gull]

nope ):

[calm matrix]

Theres just no other feeling like killing someone, taking hours of loot, and then extracting with it. Exhilerating asf.

[ivory knot]

same thing happened with me yesterday lol dont feel bad

[fluid kelp]

I like it WITH FRIENDS

[meager falcon]

Ur so angry I hope you become happier👍🏻

[livid ember]

Is there a ticketing system where I can chat with someone with some insider info.

I would want to talk about the game

[chrome gull]

I don't have any lmao

[fringe acorn]

in the NDA chat

[magic rose]

Happy ? In 2025? When the entire world is depressing? Lol

[teal mortar]

ok im hoppin in the game. good luck, mike!! love you!!

[true epoch]

You die and go on run again

[late zephyr]

im not depressed. Happier now than I've ever been. Worry about yourself.

[whole breach]

Mike clearly isn’t having a good day

[cyan nest]

i got the playtest but i cant see the NDA channel

[hasty umbra]

NDA chat. If you have access to the game and your discord is linked. You'll hopefully, eventually get the NDA role.

[livid ember]

I don't have that ä.å

[amber nexus]

Nah there’s a nda channel that’s getting manually rolled out to ppl but me n friend haven’t got jr yet

[hardy crater]

so deep

[lost delta]

games going to flop. they cant compete with any of the games in its genre not in a million years

[amber nexus]

John bungie “you leave that mega corporation alone!”

[hardy crater]

what do you think

[magic rose]

The fact you even have to sign up to get in is ridiculous. This game got announced 2 years ago almost 3 years ago it should already be in public beta

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[chrome gull]

lmao i feel like a secret agent NSJAJ I don't wanna be part of this anymore

[amber nexus]

There’s a windowed mode!!!!

[ivory knot]

ok now i know youre clowning lol

[hasty umbra]

I lost my original discord account to hackers and further and according to the appeal system it's permabanned.

[naive crypt]

how does one get access to those channels if theyre in playtest, is it applied to linked discords in waves

[late zephyr]

PUBLIC testing is NEVER a requirement, Idk where u grew up.

[magic rose]

Nope just being blunt

[amber nexus]

My resolution is supported

[fringe acorn]

Applied manually via role sometime soon

[naive crypt]

ok nice cause i have questions i must ask in there lmao

[unborn jungle]

Hope they add more console players

[livid ember]

where do I link my account

[ivory knot]

meant you switch from "leave bungie alone" to "god bungie why do i have to click accept on an nda"

[late zephyr]

That doesn't mean they are REQUIRED to. You make it sound like it HAS to have a public test lol.

[calm matrix]

I lowkey agree with this becaue you can build a game in this genre from the ground up (been proven anecdotally) with just one map and a finite amount of features.

[ivory knot]

whiplash

[magic rose]

Because they do have to happen almost every game does it

Did we forget that beta's happen for every single game that exists

[timid otter]

Are more codes dropping today?

[thorny cloak]

This is an alpha

[late zephyr]

they dont.

[calm matrix]

but I think it does add some mystique to the fact that its all 'NDA; and such; that being said i cant even play right now because I dont have a key which just makes me depressed.

[gleaming bough]

See you took the mantle to help folks

Rn im at work so I can't do much

[hasty umbra]

I like helping people.

[naive crypt]

the profile pic decoration u have on, that game, had a beta

[cloud comet]

Same here

[late zephyr]

doesnt mean EVERY game has a beta, or is REQUIRED to.

[sturdy roost]

I got a code right away although I also have like 5000 hours in d2

[crisp citrus]

Im just happy to be here

[hasty umbra]

It got banned for hate-speech, derogatory language. Something I don't do.

[true epoch]

Ok and

[late zephyr]

your ignoring what I said. Not EVERY game has a beta, nor are they REQUIRED to.

[sturdy roost]

Accidentally replied

[true epoch]

Ah

[north turtle]

your hours in D2 dont matter towards this

[gleaming bough]

Ok im going back to work, uhh don't break NDA and stuff

[hasty umbra]

Ban is perma unless I can appeal it, and I doubt it.

[jovial inlet]

So we all waiting on NDA thought it was just me

[graceful egret]

If they did I'd be in 100 times over by now

[hardy crater]

wdym that's the reason he got a code so quick?

[sturdy roost]

Nah I'd rather believe I'm somehow special

[cloud comet]

Yup

[fringe acorn]

Nope. NDA chat is slowly being rolled out to peoples who need it

My review I'm writing locally might as well turn into a damn novel. It's already got like... 4000 words. LMFAO

[calm matrix]

Yeah but that argument has more nuance than a generality like that. It might be more helpful to release an extraction game in beta purely because of the time it takes to code a game like this in this most 'finished' stage. IMO there is more of an incentive to gradually add to the game over time.

[distant comet]

It's probably too late to signup for a playtest right?

[tidal scaffold]

no it's not lmfao

thisll be twice that bungie conspires against me to ensure that i do not acquire a code

[tidal scaffold]

took me a min to get a code meanwhile my friend got one a day later after applying and he doesn't have a quarter of the hours I have in D2

[late zephyr]

I'm not disagreeign with you at all. Yes it would be helpful, and yes games should do it. I was originally replying to "Mike" who was complainign the game isnt in PUBLIC beta yet because of when it got announced. I was jsut explaining that its not some sort of REQUIREMENT to go into public beta, so idk why he was upset its not public.

[ember plover]

Tem tugas por aqui?

[hardy crater]

i'm joking, slowpoke

[distant comet]

Nice! Thanks @olive oracle ! just signed up via Steam

[fringe acorn]

You’re being toxic dude

[sturdy roost]

They really wanted the opinion of a lifelong bungie fan pushing 40. That's my only explanation

[meager falcon]

So I can’t play on ps5😔?

[magic rose]

"toxic"

[marsh jetty]

The game fun

[fringe acorn]

Yes

[solid bison]

anyone else playing on steam trying to team up? DM me

[kind vale]

are here some germans who want to play together?

[hardy crater]

if i was bungie i'd do the same

[tidal scaffold]

you're getting banned bro

[magic rose]

I can show toxicity bruh. I've been chill this entire time 😭

[vernal solstice]

charlize lacroix where are u

[hardy crater]

that's pretty sigma icl

[marsh jetty]

Game fun but I'm just worried that streamers might ruin it

[calm matrix]

Ahh I gotchu thats understandable. Don't get me wrong though im upest its not public too; but only because I dont have a key. 😆

[magic rose]

I am sigma 🤷

[covert trellis]

who worked on this game music?

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[fossil tulip]

mctt channel rollout is slow, like the development of the game :)

[blazing mist]

how?

[ember plover]

Portugues players here?

[late zephyr]

Same lol. I jsut know its not liek they HAVE to go public, so im not gonna complain about it not being public.

[magic rose]

"this game fun"

Gets yelled at for simply saying it's fun not discussing anything in the game itself

[marsh jetty]

Bruh there a nda

[blazing mist]

how would streamers ruin it?

[fringe acorn]

Yes

[scenic meteor]

What comes after 6?

[marsh jetty]

Where

[magic rose]

And I'm the toxic one ? All he did was say it's fun

[magic kiln]

Hard to look for group without the NDA channel. Lol

[kind vale]

german players?

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[stone trench]

Did u finally get in?

[marsh jetty]

Metal builds

[magic rose]

Saying the game is fun is not discussing the game in detail

[meager falcon]

I think it’s a bot dude

[magic rose]

And I did not get accepted into this play test therefore the NDA does not apply to me

[blazing mist]

yes guns tend to built out of metal

[fringe acorn]

I’ve been in the game since the playtest started, no NDA chat still tho

[formal spade]

I sell AI art for tens of thousands of US dollars talent doesn’t matter

[wicked folio]

would help if we had access to the NDA channels!!

[stone trench]

Yeah i meant chat 😭 still waiting too

[blazing mist]

but in all seriousness the meta will find istelf with or without streamers

[misty moss]

Well well wellllll

[stone trench]

When does nda lift btw?

[misty moss]

Nada

[magic rose]

Crazy how most of this server is arc raiders fans. I'll see y'all the 30th

[safe solar]

when the game drops (im being sarcastic)

[graceful egret]

As of yesterday, all platforms can now sign up again. The "discord survey" in news is just an open application.

[hardy crater]

idk probably says it in the nda

[stone trench]

Yeah im not home to read

[pale oar]

type dhit

[misty moss]

Me lol

[blazing mist]

my art is better than urs

[hardy crater]

gg, the bungie goons are gonna get your kneecaps, better delete quickly

[pale oar]

this is an arc raiders waiting room

[marsh jetty]

I really hope it doesn't become a cash grab like how other games are

[calm matrix]

ARC is too easy to the point it got boring.

[formal spade]

How much money does it make

[stone trench]

Ill check later, it would be weird if its when the game releases. People are going to talk about in the following months

[magic rose]

Careful guys. Saying you have fun and not discussing details is still breaking NDA. Sony might sue

[scenic meteor]

You know I think.. I think 7 comes after 6

[blazing mist]

"yes"

[hardy crater]

gg!

[tender mantle]

have we got any news yet regarding the constant crashing?

[crisp citrus]

My only issue with Arc is trying to stealth around bots and what the endgame looks like

[misty moss]

I think peanut butter does belong on pancakes

[blazing mist]

but money is worthless anyways

[fossil tulip]

they working on fixing the crashes, but it takes some time since they have to add new crashes as well...

[mild goblet]

Is your existence devoid of all happiness?

[kind vale]

are here some germans who want to play together?

[boreal star]

Honestly arc will be good till tark 1.0

[frozen pagoda]

When does the play test close ?

[scenic meteor]

Oh really I never knew I could only count up to 6 anyway thanks for helping me out

[magic rose]

Arc will kill marathon 💀

[tidal scaffold]

pls say sike

[stone trench]

It cant kill something that release after

[formal spade]

Gimme all of yours then buddy

[final mauve]

26th for getting in, 28th to end for all

[tidal scaffold]

even tarkov mfs are considering going to arc

[marsh jetty]

You think they will add gas mask proximity chat where it's hard to hear someone if they have a gas mask

[magic rose]

They should have released this game already

[frozen pagoda]

Bet thank you

[boreal star]

Arc is too shallow for me

[blazing mist]

no i need to buy 13 dollar cartons of eggs

[final mauve]

Yupyup

[magic rose]

It's an online only game. It should not take 5 to 10 years to make like a single player experience does

[calm matrix]

The game is just literally too easy PVE included. Coming from a background of EFT I didnt die in a single PVP gunfight lmao. The only time i died is when i shot the rocketeer with a Rattler 1. The core mechanic of 'scrappy' the chicken is just a useless and dull mechanic. Free loot after every single raid for no reason just makes the game too easy to the point it doesnt make sense.

[formal spade]

Ok

[stone trench]

The game we have today is a completely different version from the original

[true epoch]

Yeee i didnt die at all in arc while in marathon its probably like EFT, constant death

[magic rose]

I'm sorry but what kind of game takes 10 years to make or even 5 years to make when it's supposed to be a live service title. Look how quickly rivals came out. Look how quickly Arc raiders is launching.

[frozen fern]

Any update on the PSN codes not working? Or am I still fucked?

[blazing mist]

i doubt it, wut will kill marathon is the audience, not bungie, not arc, and nothing else

[hardy crater]

i don't see how scrappy makes it to easy. you're getting pocket change

[stone trench]

This version of marathon has been in development for 2-3 years

[magic rose]

Arc was made in like 4 years btw

[kind vale]

are here some germans who want to play together?

[tidal scaffold]

you can avoid encounters if you want in arc minus a few hornets here and there but that's it really

[scenic meteor]

No problem I’m happy to help a fellow Nucal friend

[fringe acorn]

When you make a triple A game, let me know

[stable lark]

dog arc got delayed past its original release date for three years

[magic rose]

I'm going to college right now for game development actually... So....

[true epoch]

More, they codeveloped it alongside the finals

[ember plover]

Alguém portugues por aqui?

[fringe acorn]

When you make a triple A game, let me know.

[true epoch]

The ai locomotion animation system dates back to 2015

[crisp citrus]

I agree, i think it will appeal to the console players and more casual players. Plus the guns in that game don’t grip me, it feels like a BR in a sense

[calm matrix]

Because I also didnt lose a single pvp fight while coming back to a chicken just giving me free stacks of materials to make meds lmao. I maxxed out my stash in a couple of hours it just felt TOO easy.

[blazing mist]

and look how poorly optimized rivals is

[magic rose]

😂

[tidal scaffold]

pvp gunfights felt perf in arc

[fringe acorn]

I don’t know what a “sellout staff” is

[tidal scaffold]

i like the longer ttk over the half a second death from tarkov

[safe solar]

was this your experience in the server slam?

[fossil tulip]

theyr working on arc since 2018

[hardy crater]

i don't see how this isn't partially due to your playstyle. i can also avoid pvp or pve interactions and say the game is easy and boring

[calm matrix]

You see here is where my issue with this stands though; What happens when someone like me or you transitions to the game from a background of hardcore or exraction expereince? Literally makes the game unplayable for the casual player when they will get shat on running into my trio 100% of the time.

[stable lark]

The game encourages you to avoid everything.

[fluid kelp]

Maybe it took a while because of The Finals ?

[calm matrix]

Brother you have it wrong. All i did was search for PVP and run the card rooms lmao.

[winter brook]

Still not in the nda chat good lord

[blazing mist]

there is little incentive to engage players, and theres little incentive to play it in general as the progession doesnt feel very meaningful

[tidal scaffold]

people complain about the rocketeer but that's the whole point of it, a mf threat so big that you have to avoid it

[mossy shard]

Casuals will get pushed out unless some e-celeb gets big enough to make being bad hype

[safe solar]

ducking my question got it

[late zephyr]

go research star citizen lmao

[regal anchor]

is theere an nda chat

[tidal scaffold]

im glad they fixed the AI detection now not detecting you in bushes

[hardy crater]

alright, i view the game differently

[hasty umbra]

If you're having trouble with certain aspects of the discord or accounts, please check 📌 messages.

[ember plover]

Já vi que nao vou ter tugas para jogar cmg, vou ter de jogar solo

[tall rover]

there wasnt a lot of the actualy progression features added to the playtest though

[tidal scaffold]

ARC was their first game they wanted to release but The Finals was ready so they dropped that instead

[fluid kelp]

Aahh, I see

[cursive umbra]

Bro this game is

[tall rover]

they were actually set to release around the same time too but pushed back arc

[blazing mist]

either way theres not much of a reason to play it, also pve enemies r kinda stupid

[crisp citrus]

That’s something they have to play around with then and why they possibly added free loadouts and scrappy to always have mats available for the casuals that keep getting fragged. Their end goal is to get the widest audience rather than us “hardcore” players since there’s technically less of us. We’ll just pubstomp until they add some sort “Labs” type map or wtv they’re thinking up

[cursive umbra]

Arc isn't 1st person

[hasty umbra]

I met such friendly players in Arc Raiders. I managed to get 10 of us together and we killed the queen then distributed the loot among each of us.

[devout blade]

Nice pfp border

[wide prawn]

i think that video games are nice and it is good when there are good ones

[calm matrix]

Yes but i still put like 15 hours into it lol

[hasty umbra]

Killed many leapers, rocketeeers and a countless basic bots.

[graceful egret]

that's a really special moment

[fossil tulip]

cyberacme ? more like cyberacne :)

[hasty umbra]

Had fun with that game. Still a backer, was super citizen for awhile.

[leaden swift]

why have i seen like no posts on this test yet lmao

[hasty umbra]

Most of my time was spent salvaging.

[late zephyr]

Ya, I love it, but wont play it again until it releases.

[fringe acorn]

We can not discuss features, settings, or impressions of the game while under NDA, except in the designated NDA channels.

[safe solar]

ok come back to me when you do that in the FULL game but also max benches, all recipes found, max skill tree, max scrappy, prestige a couple times. like you are basing this off a VERY LIMITED test mainly for server stress lmfao

[hasty umbra]

NDA.

[calm matrix]

I agree with this concept but that just fully subtracts from my expereince again personally because it is just SOO pandered to the casual player that I think it breaks the immersion of the world.

[leaden swift]

rip mb mb

[tall rover]

thats what I am saying

[raw pewter]

still no nda chat invite 😢

[fossil tulip]

its dead game, noone is playing and willing to review it

[kind vale]

are here some germans who want to play together?

[calm matrix]

I am basing it on the fully specced out gun I had and the chicken that gave me loot every single raid after I just rolled 5 squads lol.

I legit just never died bro thats all Im saying.

[paper wren]

I havent been accepted to the playtest yet...should I keep my hopes up?

[ivory knot]

or maybe its the nda? 🤔

[left mist]

.

[safe solar]

on 1 mf map where everyone went to the same area. try a different map. or the actual map where you will be met with NOTHING but pvp because the map is so small

[formal spade]

Arc raiders 💤

[graceful egret]

ok who put the isreali flag there lmfao

[fossil tulip]

NO CANT BE 🤔

[tall rover]

bro arc had 187k on stream alone, i dont think its dead

[wide prawn]

i got in only on the second wave, keep the hope

[ivory knot]

🤔

[final mauve]

Its also in a diff stage of development

[blazing mist]

bruh its under NDA

[misty moss]

Arc will push real good numbers. The trick is with extractors, is keeping them

[fossil tulip]

its dead too, numbers are inflated by bots (trust me)

[halcyon tulip]

wasn't this game coming out this month?

[winter brook]

Tbf that’s the player bases fault, we were given a choice to release to game as it was “originally” advertised or they keep developing the game into a much bigger scope, we chose the latter, crazy how people forget that

[tidal scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-delete-delete-it-delete-button-remove-this-gif-17595852171198494014

[tall rover]

im not comparing it to marathon, someone said arc was dead game

[blazing mist]

it was delayed

[late zephyr]

have u played any of the other maps?

[safe solar]

also who gives af bout the chicken. If it werent for the chicken you wouldnt extract with that "loot" that "pocket change" anyway so its doing you a damn favor. like why is that a big deal lol. you know you can choose not to accept it

[formal spade]

It’s cheeks

[calm matrix]

Why would a smaller map make me die besides from getting 3rd partied? That doesnt speak to the difficulty of the game lol. That exist in every scenario on every map already. If anything the full extent of the game will make it EASIER for players like me because now im rolling up on you with even better gear.

[safe solar]

yes i was in tech test 2

[formal spade]

Nuff sayed

[safe solar]

ohhhhhh so third party is an excuse now?

[crisp citrus]

Big facts, lets see how the numbers look for Arc and Tarkov 1.0 after a month or two of release and time will tell what comes out on top, but I do personally believe it might be top of its genre solely bc of the casual playerbase

[late zephyr]

ahhhh so u mustve got rolled

[blazing mist]

tarkov is made to be unfun im pretty sure

[late zephyr]

? I was talking to him abotu Arc Raiders

[safe solar]

no???? literally stating that theres a map.... that people went if they only wanted pvp. idk where you got the idea i "got rolled" from that but keep projecting tough guy

[faint yew]

isnt arc raiders an ai game or something

[blazing mist]

chat is cringe and keeps making me misclick

[calm matrix]

Its not an excuse im literally just saying thats the only way im dying in that game lmao.

[blazing mist]

it has some ai voices, thats it tho

[fringe acorn]

do y’all ever feel like a plastic bag, floating in the wind, waiting to start again?

[wintry mantle]

Arc raiders waiting room

[magic kiln]

6000 hours I can confirm it is 99% pain

[hardy crater]

what is "an ai game"

[chrome gull]

everyday tbh

[blazing mist]

i play deadlock

[chrome gull]

supermarket simulator

[faint yew]

ppl said they used ai for a shit ton of stuff idk if its true

[calm matrix]

and some of the sound design is just assets from ableton live plug ins 💀

[magic kiln]

I play Pokémon

[high cargo]

Ai voices yeah

[calm matrix]

Ive heard the load in sound in techno songs lol

[graceful egret]

I just googled that and it's only the cover art

[rotund cliff]

They let everyone play here I am devoted to bungie since d1 day 1 and still no code

[blazing mist]

nothing wrong with that, the minecraft nether portal sound is a base preset of a synthesizer

[nova plank]

machinelearning/ai for the arc's movement i think

[safe solar]

ok then get the full game and come back after 15 hours and let me know if you die any other way. but without actually seeing it you could be lying. But i HIGHLY doubt in the full game you will NEVER die without a 3rd party.

[tall rover]

honestly you would be surprised how many game devs use DAW's for sound design

[calm matrix]

I just think its funny because its a WIDELY used sound in like techno

[wintry mantle]

If ur devoted to Bungie why do you have an arc tag like me

[blazing mist]

i dont doubt that

[queen flame]

Recent playtest apparently uses ML Algorithms for their bots. They got the AI AI :V

[sterile rover]

I got in!

[rotund cliff]

Bc they let me play 😂

[magic kiln]

[wind crater]

GIVE ME A CODE AND MY SOUL IS YOURS

[blazing mist]

as a musician i can confirm that i hear so many sounds that i recognize in places they shouldnt be

[cyan nest]

i think they are pretty similar lol

[queen flame]

But that's ML, and not "AI" as it's commonly termed as in LLM or Generative AI so that's fine

[plucky shuttle]

Sound design is done in protools it’s the industry standard

[errant ferry]

[magic kiln]

[wintry mantle]

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9

[crisp citrus]

[tall rover]

yea i know, just never was a fan of the DAW myself. mainly use fl and studio one but came from logic. I also dont do sound design for games

[sterile rover]

The dynamic weather is pretty cool, the vibes are immaculate. It’s harder than I thought it would be

[safe solar]

[magic kiln]

[hasty umbra]

Yes, it's a good idea. AI enemies that learn are cool.

[kind vale]

are here some germans who want to play together?

[hasty umbra]

Renoise is what I use, but I'm oldskool as fuck.

I got started with MTP, Open Modplug Tracker, lmao

[fresh gyro]

make noise in game get prepared for a gunfight, the irony of someone saying im getting third partied is a joke be quiet in game or hit your shots (much better ttk if you do xD)

[frank vault]

wild how in tarkov jaegers letter is there for everyone to take whenever they get to that part of the map, imagine locking a vendor behind a quest only 1 person per match of 12 can do, that would be so fucking stupid

[calm matrix]

Its not ridiculous for me to think that lol. Sure there is more nuance to what im saying but the majority of gunfights im probably going to win just because im on pc and my background of games I used to play, it pretty much proved that to me in the playtest. 🤷‍♂️

[crisp citrus]

Not having NDA channel access is like having no mouth but you need to scream

[blazing mist]

[fresh gyro]

thats all extrac shooters

[fossil tulip]

Man this game is so simple, just run, die, repeat.

[tall rover]

re noise interesting, ill check it out. is that strictly for video game sound design?

[unkempt sapphire]

Reference?

[safe solar]

ok but im simply saying to think the game will be too easy without actually seeing the full product is dumb asf. i mean you can think whatever you want but i can think thats a dumb opinion since i played more content than you

[graceful egret]

On the bright side it gives you plenty of time to have organized thoughts and opinions.

[still crane]

Best review EVER!

[plucky shuttle]

I’ve used every DAW from bandlab to ableton, pro tools was the best one I’ve ever used. All the other ones feel cluttered but I also feel like it’s cuz I started on protools when I was like 2 because my dads an audio engineer lmao

[hasty umbra]

It's a tracker mixed with a digital audio workstation.
