🗣marathon-general-chat

[timid wigeon]

I wouldn't say marathon is that casual tbf

[coral stream]

how to access nda channel?

[alpine berry]

the art style looks great when indoors especially but I have to agree I don't like how washed out the game is outside. I'm using HDR with OLED.

[fluid onyx]

Are the servers up? It says marathon servers are not available for me

[timid wigeon]

They're slowly adding ppl to an NDA chat

[alpine berry]

it's very casual you die very fast to body shots and there is like no movement tech. Even the guns have low recoil

[compact raven]

yeah i don't get where the casual takes are coming from and i play tarkov

[radiant void]

it is if u know how to play extraction shooters

[maiden galleon]

I think they might be down right now. I can't get in either

[tepid stratus]

yall fr about casual part cause im not no pro at games

[worn chasm]

Lol

[ornate fossil]

ehhhh soso
baby's first extraction shooter

I love it tho

[unborn badger]

ay I mean to each their own

[worn chasm]

Thats an awesome move, have a community server and add thousands of people to the game

[compact raven]

you can say all of this about tarkov is tarkov casual then?

[worn chasm]

and then add a handful of a people at a time to the one place they can talk about details of the game

[radiant void]

be smort and stuff

[worn chasm]

I wonder what would happen

[maiden plaza]

BF6 is down too, something bigger is down it seems

[timid wigeon]

How is that casual? You can die in one shot in Tarkov? 😂🤣

[alpine berry]

It's not even close because there is actually movement tech in Tarkov and guns do have recoil.

[worn chasm]

LOL

[maiden galleon]

Interestiong

[unborn badger]

peak unemployment hop in a server and never say a single good thing about the thing it's made around and then say "I just want a good product" when it's not made for you at all 💀

[worn chasm]

I'm not sure intense is the word I'd use for it

[compact raven]

mmovement tech = not sliding and moiving in a circle, also build an m4 or AS val if you think guns have recoil

[alpine berry]

You can die in 1 shot in Hunt as well and it's probably one of the most hardcore shooters on the market right now. It takes much more work to aim in that game, RoF is low and you have movement tech

[shadow coral]

I'm 100% new to extract shooters I think I just to tweak my settings a bit and a team. I'm all bright-eyed and bushy tailed

[sinful hatch]

Even Hunt showdown, that game is brutal to first time players

[timid wigeon]

You're breaking nda

[solemn abyss]

help me get into the game devs

[radiant void]

i got baited

[maiden galleon]

Ooh John NDA got him

[raw edge]

you're breaking nda you're breaking nda!! omg you kids are cringe i bet you say bungo too

[worn chasm]

Nah I just have first-hand experience and a valid opinion that conflicts with your poorly educated, emotionally attached one

[timid wigeon]

Would love to explain the difference but can't ATM buddy

[alpine berry]

You can lean and take engagements with strategy. Marathon has slow strafe speed, no lean and slow base speed. It honestly feels very much like Halo 3 if I'm being honest

[ornate fossil]

I keep getting cucked by the start screen, can't even get in anymore reee

[worn chasm]

So respectfully, stop barking, thanks 👍

[unborn badger]

didn't know rednecks in their 50s play bungie games

[compact raven]

none of that is movement tech you're just yapping ngl

[maiden galleon]

Yeah I think the server is down right now. cant get to help.bungie.net either

[alpine berry]

it is because you can bait with leans and find alt angles with them. O

[raw edge]

alright bed time for me boys im bootin up marathon

[maiden galleon]

And someone else said bf6 is down

[solemn abyss]

bf6 is up

[quaint solar]

"my opinion is valid and yours is emotional and ignornat" bro please touch some grass

[sinful hatch]

Honestly the difference is refreshing, I wish I could talk about it because it’s genuinely so damn good imo

[quaint solar]

easiest ignore I've had in a while

[worn chasm]

Cry harder homie

[compact raven]

hitting q and e = movement tech?

[alpine berry]

It's something, there is also the jump spots etc. There is simply more tactical variety in Tarkov than this game. I'm not even a fan of Tarkov tbh but this game is SO SIMPLE that I became bored after like 10 hours.

[timid wigeon]

This, I love it so far

[worn chasm]

I just exited what feels like my 400th match so yeah

[stuck dagger]

is the game down on pc????

[crude adder]

yup

[maiden galleon]

Yes

[solemn abyss]

ight devs imma play bf6 since yall wont let me in the damn game

[stuck dagger]

sick

[unborn badger]

gang ngl anytime somebody flexes their supposed intellect that's a white flag 💀 💀 💀

[timid wigeon]

The raw Sci-Fi setting is refreshing too

[maiden galleon]

Yeah i hopped on overwatch lmao

[compact raven]

i need to get into this NDA channel already

[radiant void]

yeah

[maiden plaza]

good luck with that

[gray quarry]

Same. Been waiting over 24hrs

[unborn badger]

aww

[quaint solar]

is there a mod role we can ping?

[trail osprey]

I was in NDA channel for last beta and i got invited to this Beta again and it just removed me today from NDA channel

[worn chasm]

HMU when in 25 hours I'm in the NDA channel and properly complain about this dogwater game

[sinful hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/reddit-hehehe-evil-laugh-laughing-gif-3156231190318309755

[dapper ocean]

bro i came in here earlier with some feedback after 2 games and being accepted into beta today and everyone in here just accuses you of being salty for not being "accepted into the beta" or "lying" about playing it. a bit of copium ngl

[worn chasm]

Literally one of the only positive* things I can say about this game is that the art and story are unique - that's it

[radiant void]

This game slaps

[compact raven]

feedback after 2 games like cmon man lmao

[unborn badger]

it is what it is with some people lol they project their shit

[dapper ocean]

they're lucky i gave them 2 instead of 1

[worn chasm]

Arc raiders is significantly more enjoyable than this

[unborn badger]

give em grace when you can

[peak jacinth]

anyone with comms trying to play these randoms are killing me man

[alpine berry]

Yeah I like the art style in general besides the wash out lighting for outdoors. The UI, effects and menu screens look sick too

[grim citrus]

can i please get a waffle

[naive plover]

goddamn this redacted is redacted

[solemn ibex]

waves come and go but my depression remains

[timid wigeon]

Why play 25 hours if it's dogwater then ?! 🤣😂

[worn chasm]

for Bungies sake I hope they apply the feedback they're getting and rework the game

[grim citrus]

can someone whos already done the first quest pls dm me im like going crazy rn

[quaint solar]

literally ignore them, they're rage baiting to validate their feelings

[worn chasm]

So when I come here I can thouroughly slam dunk on the apes that are going to say "B-B-B-BUT YOU D-D-D-D-INDT PLAY 400 HOURS LIKE I DID!!!!"

[alpine berry]

" You play for 2 hours man you don't know anything about the game!" or " You played 30 hours...obviously you liked the game" are two sides of the fan boy cope coin

[dapper ocean]

look i think 2 games is more than enough. honestly my actual main problem is making the beta closed and giving it out to random people when its a team based shooter, i can't even play this game with my buddy and its not recomended to play solo imo in these type of games which is why i quit after 2 reasonably if you ask me

[unborn badger]

"arc better you marachuds arc clears this trash doa woke game" and then it's "I just want a good product for this company" right after lmao the victim card plays itself

[worn chasm]

Like brother, how many more chances you want me to give a bad game? That's not going to change what's fundamentally wrong

[radiant void]

holy moly it's the battle of the mistifts

[worn chasm]

I literally cannot imagine what previous iterations/betas looked like

[timid wigeon]

I pushed myself to play an hour of getting spawn camped in Arc Raiders to know it WASNT FOR ME, not dogwater as some like to describe games...

[unborn badger]

asian mom and karen coalition out here 😭 😭

[fading bluff]

jobless*

[hollow void]

this game needs better quest pings so bad its insane i cant find anything and i have to walk around for 20 min to find one of 3 objectives

[worn chasm]

Lol

[alpine berry]

people spawn camp in this game too lol...but it's worse because of the AI

[compact raven]

too much ragebait in here fr

[unborn badger]

nooooooo arc better always than this stupid ass cringe ass ugly looking ass boring gameplay ass game this can never be better than anything...

[compact raven]

just gotta block and move on

[timid wigeon]

Move on then, it's kinda more sad that your still here bitching

[worn chasm]

How about instead of pretending like all the hate is "totally unwarranted" you figure out why so many people think the game is geniunely ass and fix the fucking game so it doesn't bomb on release?

[timid wigeon]

You've apparently given your feedback

[worn chasm]

Wild idea

[timid wigeon]

Go

[alpine berry]

it's weird to break the discords rules while fanboying

[stuck wind]

very fruitful discussion here, yea

[dapper ocean]

i dont think you can fix it

[quaint solar]

Bro thinks his opinion is universal

[unborn badger]

idk man we ain't

[radiant void]

watching them argue without being able to talk about the game is neat

[timid wigeon]

All your doing now is giving off the aura " I don't like it so you all mustn't like it either"

[radiant void]

aura

[unborn badger]

respect every aspect of a man even his shallowness 🙏

[worn chasm]

This entire server spends every minute of every day praising this game for absolutely no fucking reason and any time any criticism is made - litearlly, at all - you cope and make excuses and point out bandwagoning and whatever

[dapper ocean]

i mean pretty much went for concord, if a game is bad then a game is bad man

[alpine berry]

we can talk about what it isn't so that those that can read will realize what it is

[keen ingot]

Are we allowed to talk about the game in here

[radiant void]

nope

[alpine berry]

no

[unborn badger]

well and you bitch every second you can without being positive ever so it's natural that even the fairer people are gonna lump you into the doomer crowd

[keen ingot]

I can’t find the nda chat

[radiant void]

takes time i guess

[quaint solar]

rule of thumb, I don't trust anyone who says "game is terrible and horrible" because that is the most nothing emotionally charged kneejerk feedback possible

[keen ingot]

RAHHHH

[alpine berry]

you gave off zealot vibes like 5 seconds into my first comment here

[unborn badger]

idk what your definition of feedback is but it ain't working if you shoving it in bungie's heads like an asian mom

[stuck wind]

well, its subjective, and you cant consider subjective terms to yourself, not about trust

[unborn badger]

can't be fair these days 💔

[worn chasm]

I wish I be here to see the absolutely copium you people are going to come up with as soon as this is their single worst failure of a game release in at least a decade, but the reality is this discord server literally will not exist lol

[alpine berry]

What? Some countries are.....

[timid wigeon]

TBF the majority of nay sayers in here have your tag next to their name...

[dapper ocean]

is anyone else put off by this beta because their buddies cant play with them because of how closed the beta is?

[frozen fern]

Still no update on the ps codes that don’t work? 😪

[quaint solar]

more so if they're being that subjective and extreme with their criticism, it's not worth listening to

[kindred cargo]

I’m enjoying myself, seems like the kind of game for me apart from the redacted but that’s an easy fix that most likely won’t change. I’m mainly butthurt about not getting into the NDA channel because im a steam signup and there doesn’t seem a current way to get in

[alpine berry]

I used to send my friends pictures of my poops. They don't share your ideology

[timid wigeon]

This

[olive mortar]

oh bby ur so weird

[radiant void]

I like how the redacted redacted

[unborn badger]

gang what

[naive plover]

is it breaching NDA to say that it was funny to play with my laptop fully muted

[radiant void]

LOL

[compact raven]

do the survey thing and you get access in like a day

[unborn badger]

ok this was funny

[dapper ocean]

arc raiders had a good server slam, i dont make the rules

[sinful hatch]

Saying this is worse than breaching NDA 💔💔🥀🥀

[unborn badger]

boot react this man

[timid wigeon]

TBF you've just outted yourself as having a s**t ideology 😂🤣👌

[dapper ocean]

i liked it, so did my buddy and a LOT of other people

[alpine berry]

is your profile pic Anthony Bourdain

[radiant void]

im gonna go play game baiiii

[unborn badger]

have fun

[timid wigeon]

Join the AR discord then

[radiant void]

im gonna redacted the redacted

[sinful hatch]

Arc raiders was very good, I think both of these games can co-exist because imo they’ve both got extremely good qualities while playing and feeling very differently

[hazy quail]

Has anyone else had issues with their graphics? I haven't been able to get past literally the first 5 minutes because all of my textures are invisible 😭 pls help

[alpine berry]

I do find it funny how the die hard bungie fans absolutely hate Arc Raiders lol

[velvet blade]

i get that they're both extraction games, but theres a massive difference between a 3rd person and 1st person shooter

[olive mortar]

this game fun but i be talking to brick walls half the time

[hollow totem]

@frozen fern Ah, mine doesn't work either, any info at all so far?

[timid wigeon]

What's your bungo name btw might hit you up for a game later

[sinful hatch]

Nah

[unborn badger]

idk man I think smth's seriously wrong with people's lives if they're deliberately rooting on one game just to trash the other but who am I to judge 💔

[radiant void]

sodagirl#6190

[worn chasm]

It's called having an opinion, wild

[stuck wind]

ever heard of football / soccer teams

[alpine berry]

Both games are very mediocre to me with low skill ceilings

[finite raven]

how tf do i get into the NDA channel. I'm part of the test and haven't been added

[dapper ocean]

i am a die hard bungie fan (ex now) pre ordered arc raiders deluxe and i do not like this game. i have contest completions on destiny too and trials of osiris flawless multiple

[unborn badger]

ho boy tell me about it 💀

[timid wigeon]

3rd person is easy mode over 1st person

[alpine berry]

that last good bungie game was halo 3

[unborn badger]

also yeah different games even just from pov differences

[timid wigeon]

Cool cya later

[worn chasm]

Why lol, didn't you play the open beta before pre-order?

[dapper ocean]

destiny was something else to experience before it gone ran into the ground, wrath of the machine and scourge of the past are all peak IMO gaming experinces

[alpine berry]

I played Destiny 1 and thought it was boring and couldn't believe how little content it had. Didn't give 2 a try after that

[sinful hatch]

It was genuinely peak bruh, final shape should’ve been the end but they tainted such a great ending with the shit stain of edge of fate

[ornate fossil]

they made it pretty clear that there is meant to be no overlap between destiny players and marathon players so I guess mission accomplished

[dapper ocean]

im not spesking to you bro fuck off and leave me alone the guy was talking about destiny vets hating arc and i do not so go away

[timid wigeon]

Alot of ppl find that hard to comprehend

[unborn badger]

so sensitive 🤭

[bronze coral]

yo does anyone know where the dcon in valley is

[alpine berry]

I feel like both Arc and Marathon don't have that thrill factor games like Tarkov and Hunt have.

[dapper ocean]

i quit on final shape contest when people were blacking out screens so toxic

[worn chasm]

You and @timid wigeon have been here crashing out for the past 2 hours what are you smoking?

[timid wigeon]

Well you'll get banned soon with that language so cya

[naive plover]

exactly, because i quit destiny and am now playing marathon,

[bronze coral]

yo does anyone know where the dcon in valley is

[dapper ocean]

im blocking you go @ someone else

[timid wigeon]

Lol I literally have been on for the last 20min buddy 🤣

[unborn badger]

I'm chilling at lunch with the boys after class I ain't the one being reactionary and all that 😹 ✌️

[timid wigeon]

I didn't know I could type in my sleep

[worn chasm]

Take a breather Michael 🤣

[runic jewel]

have they said they have no intentions of a pve game mode not even a barebones one like tarkov?

[ornate fossil]

wasnt it speculated that they denied entry to beta if people put they played a ton of destiny? these are categorically opposed in terms of gameplay. I played Destiny on release after years of waiting only to get hit with the Dinkeroni, but I'm really enjoying marathon. IT needs work, ofc, but surprise, it's almost like they're testing

[timid wigeon]

Tell that to your angry buddy there 🤣

[worn chasm]

You've been sitting on your phone in a discord channel moaning about everyone providing (negative) feedback

[quaint solar]

bro thinks that people calling him out on his crap is crashing out

[naive plover]

actually my worst nightmare after a bit of gameplay

[worn chasm]

Provided feedback and you had a meltdown, wipe those tears bud

[oak ledge]

How am I still not in the nda chat

[unborn badger]

wow you have a cam on me you weirdo

[solemn ibex]

🙁

[teal root]

Advice to anyone making any game: don't have one shot booby traps not even planted by players that end your run because there is no self revive. It's stupid.

[worn chasm]

Cope lil guy 😙

[naive plover]

whuh.
i just.
i
im not crying the (redacted) just scare me,,,

[timid wigeon]

I'm impressed with the quality so far

[ornate fossil]

very close to the NE. It's annoying how hard it is to find shiz. It's a building that will most likely have campers there waiting for dem cheeks, can't miss it.

[kindred vigil]

#leak

[worn chasm]

More like put me to sleep, but good summary

[unborn badger]

what a weirdo this guy is he secretly spies on me with a cam...

[oak ledge]

I doubt he really is

[ornate fossil]

of course traxus narcs are in here

[naive plover]

consider i suck at the game and am playing for the artstyle,,, teehee,,,

[kindred vigil]

I think I entered the chat at an odd moment

[timid wigeon]

Whatever you think you've won you can have, if it makes you feel better dude 👌😂

[unborn badger]

HI NEEYTH

[oak ledge]

Me too

[dapper ocean]

yeah i liked it thats why i pre ordered it i was talking about marathon when i said i didn't like it

[alpine berry]

How? The movement and shooting feels very similar but with slightly slower movement lol

[worn chasm]

A this point I'm only playing for the graphics

[quaint solar]

I will say that the art style of this game is on acid

[kindred vigil]

Hello ztratoz

[teal root]

It was better with the stolen art

[velvet blade]

[oak ledge]

It’s definitely not acid lol

[worn chasm]

Whatever you say lil guy 👌😂

[unborn badger]

good morning neeyth

[hollow crater]

So there isn't a looking for group channel?

[kindred vigil]

Good morning ztratoz, don't forget breakfast

[quaint solar]

I'm glad Antireal could come to a deal with Bungie, and they made it right as best they could

[timid wigeon]

You can do it on here

[weary cradle]

do you guys like this gmae

[ornate fossil]

Movement isn't what's in question with respect to the gameplay haha

[naive plover]

yes :)

[weary cradle]

i do

[teal root]

They should have cut a deal that let them use antireal's art, because it's noticably worse without it

[kindred vigil]

I'll come back to this in like 1 year okay

[timid wigeon]

Just share your bungo name

[quaint solar]

but genuinely, how did Antireal even come up with this aesthetic to begin with, genuinely do not understand

[teal root]

It's a genre several artists use, she was just very good at it

[oak ledge]

Creativity

[kindred vigil]

she didn't make the aesthetic it's just her specific decals was in it

[timid wigeon]

Because they didn't the art style existed long before they started

[ornate fossil]

FINALLY IM IN, later nerds

[quaint solar]

okay fair

but the style still blows my mind lmao

[weary cradle]

i've been wiping squads all day dont catch me out in the perimeter

[compact pagoda]

So if you played destiny you're not getting in the test? So they don't want destiny players buying the game either?

[quaint solar]

plz spare me I just need some of these rods from maitenance plz

[naive plover]

ive been being wiped all evening (died very fast in every run)
but loved every second of it

[oak ledge]

This is false

[runic jewel]

bunch of my friends with over 3k hours in destiny got in

[quaint solar]

I'm mid production of an in depth ammo generation YT video with 5k hours in the game, I just got in LMAO

[worn chasm]

You and everyone else lol

[hazy salmon]

So how do I get into the NDA chat?

[echo herald]

Day 3 - Bungie still didn't let me in the test - I start to loose faith

[tepid owl]

NDA channel access yet?

[timid wigeon]

Check out the art books for wipeout

[alpine berry]

Movement and shooting is a massive part of the core gameplay. You could have basically added an Extraction game mode to Destiny and slapped new cosmetics on it and it would be almost the same game

[hexed path]

Like hitting acid while wearing Nike ISPA

[oak ledge]

I’m surprised I’m not in the NDA chat I’ve been asking since the test launched

[teal root]

A 16 year old is adding people slowly and has band practice

[compact pagoda]

Same, I was coming in here to see if there was new updates about more late access.. but nothing.

[velvet blade]

MICROWAVE_WILL_GIVE_ME_NUGGETS

[tepid owl]

Real shit

[oak ledge]

Nuggets are like family

[opaque torrent]

I got in and I played a lot of destiny 1 and 2.

[sinful hatch]

Slop nuggets with slop coke and slop ketchup

[timid wigeon]

Same, have you connected your bungie account to discord? It's a requirement

[coral stream]

those who did play, do you guys really see this competing against other extraction shooters? i played 9.3 hrs of it and just dont see myself buying it

[oak ledge]

Hmmmm maybe not

[remote gulch]

False i been playing destiny for 10 years and am in and its playing smooth

[weary cradle]

getting the rods was tough field maintenance aint no joke

[ripe bay]

im not in nda chat either someone able to point me in the right direction for that?

[worn chasm]

Not even in the same ballpark

[naive plover]

hey one day that 16 year old is gonna make some kinda mediocre indie rock but its gonna have a lot of soul, let that kid flourish into a college band

[neat bloom]

the lore isn't what we think..

[teal root]

Not unless they pay off antireal and use her art, make missions more clear, bigger maps and extend TTK. SO no.

[neat bloom]

it goes deeper than just management

[timid wigeon]

People love to say it's dying, but considering it's lasted this long

[worn chasm]

Go crash out to someone who cares lil bro

[oak ledge]

Big bro

[coral stream]

i see it maybe lasting a year imo

[tardy thorn]

the new NDA bait seems to be someone who is either in or not in the test bashing mechanics and their persumed lack of content to pull someone into a disagreement. Be careful.

[timid wigeon]

Just ignore him dude

[oak ledge]

You let him watch your kids? Terrible parenting

[wicked quarry]

hypothetically speaking if someone had this game and they hypothetically kept crashing trying to load in what is a way that the player in question can prevent crashes.

[coral stream]

fr

[glacial harbor]

Where we posting NDA memes?

[kindred vigil]

Ur gred sick me .

[teal root]

So do the devs, and it's just one reason it'll die while Arc Raiders somehow wins with third person shooting

[naive plover]

see if anyone brings up the (redacted) with the (redacted) ill just (redacted) and leave

[kindred vigil]

No more. It's too much .

[oak ledge]

I found the special one

Let’s all pay attention to him

[coral stream]

more special than the game lol

[timid wigeon]

He's not worth the time

[oak ledge]

Nah he wants to be in the spotlight

[quaint solar]

noobie: If bungie listened to feedback they might be able to make a good game
Also noobie: bungie listening to feedback is why this game will be bad

he's so cute isn't he, all his cognitive dissonance

[oak ledge]

It’s worth my time

[kindred vigil]

w attention bait

[coral stream]

what makes you say that?

[timid wigeon]

😂🤣

[coral stream]

fair

[naive plover]

i think bungie should listen to nobody but me and i think bungie should pay me 3 million USD (my official stance)

[oak ledge]

How did you become so smart though

[winter spoke]

they're making the right moves for sure, but the negative aura around it will be a major uphill battle

[teal root]

If they took feedback from the community seriously, this could be a great game

[kindred vigil]

Bro it's been thundering for a good damn 2 hrs goddamn bruh 💔 shit loud n bright

[quaint solar]

bro thinks being an whiner and screaming is giving feedback

[sinful hatch]

This is going to propel bungie into being a multi trillion dollar company 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[worn chasm]

Brother I took 0.005 seconds on your instagram and legitimately lost braincells

[naive plover]

i wasnt born an idiot! i was born a baby ^w^

[worldly pier]

hey is anyone having an issue where launching the game degrades audio quality ?

[velvet blade]

I wonder if marathon fans go hate on arc raiders in their server at the same rate we see the opposite

[worn chasm]

oopsises you never had one

[cosmic snow]

Yes

[kindred vigil]

I'll be the judge of that guys Instagram

[remote gulch]

The issue with bungie is they have no long term vision, what they have is reactions to actions. Thats basically Destiny in a nut shell. They cure a disease, pat themselves on the back while making 11 more diseaseas and not acknowledging it

[oak ledge]

@worn chasm you were born smart? Lol

[kindred vigil]

he doesn't have a insta liar

[naive plover]

i know what im doing and what im doing is making fat stacks
just give me 3 million dollars everything will go well bungie devs

[quaint solar]

tbh saying this after they delivered The Final Shape is kind of wild

[winter spoke]

It's just gonna be another Warframe vs. Destiny thing I feel 😔

[teal root]

They somehow ran an NDA playtest without plans to get people into NDA chat. Says a lot abotu the entire process

[worn chasm]

Really? I thought this was a place for people to talk about Marathon, not a community circle jerk

[fringe acorn]

Still no NDA chat

[kindred vigil]

A community what...? 🤤

[oak ledge]

@worn chasm how were you born being able to talk and write?

[naive plover]

there is no NDA chat in ba sing se

[regal shoal]

lets just make this the nda chat then!

[worn chasm]

Black magic

[lapis onyx]

lol

[quaint solar]

there is no war with the Covenant

[coral stream]

killing destiny for this generic, lesser title in an extraction genre is crazy

[worn geode]

#tech-test-nda-general-discussion hate to break it to you buddy

[oak ledge]

At least he isn’t racist

[worn chasm]

Cool, so stop being negative and let people voice their opinions

[timid wigeon]

What's your bungo account? I'm gonna play a few rounds

[dapper ocean]

this is what im saying bruh

[teal root]

Oh, the 16 year old in charge gave you access?

[naive plover]

and there is no queen of england

[sinful hatch]

The next Hideo Kojima is right here in this discord 🔥🇦🇱

[kindred vigil]

what!!!!

[teal root]

How is that not a universal grant

[quaint solar]

MEGAMIND REFERENCE, KING

WAIT, WRONG PRONOUNS, QUEEN

[oak ledge]

Let’s all just get along guys. @worn chasm if you don’t like the game just stop ruining other people’s enjoyment and go somewhere else to voice your opinion .

[worn geode]

Ion run it

[remote stump]

yea no idea how to get into the nda chat, i wasnt asked to give my discord username anywhere

[timid wigeon]

The hashtag number?

[naive plover]

queen but same shit
anyways yeah ill hideo my kojima just give me large sums of money and i WILL make marathon into GOTY

[worn chasm]

Nah I'll voice my opinion in the appropriate place to voice that opinion, in the game-specific Discord channel

[wild crystal]

Did you apply on the bungie website

[coral stream]

i need nda access so i can see what people like compared to other titles cause i just dont see it

[worn chasm]

If you didn't want to talk about Marathon you're welcome to leave

[winter spoke]

We respect pronouns here 😎

[oak ledge]

But it’s just fans of the game here you should voice it to the devs

[velvet blade]

there is a market for "babies first extraction", no? ex games are hardcore af and marathon is easier back to back runs

[remote stump]

i applied thru steam

[teal root]

I was defending this game while most people were calling it DOA, and if you can lose me, you've done some work

[sinful hatch]

buuuurrpppppppp

[oak ledge]

Jeffrey! xD

[worn chasm]

Gladly, as soon as they stop taking 48 hours to admit people one at a time into the NDA channel

[sinful hatch]

Whoops sorry haha sorry

[lyric drum]

People clowning this game on twitter

[kindred vigil]

If marathon was a card game it'd win goty

[oak ledge]

Fair lol I’m still waiting

[oblique crypt]

Will out progress be saved

[velvet blade]

if i speak i am in trouble

[somber merlin]

as it stands now being forced to deal with other players means no one is getting anywhere

[stuck dagger]

yeah my teammates i just ahd were buns

[naive plover]

3 hour unskippable cutscene after each of your first 50 runs that expand on the horribly cryptic story of how Void's shell got pregnant

[somber merlin]

it means the addition of pvp is often needless, everyone you meet is a feral dog

[daring snow]

Is it pretty unlikely to get in to the test if I haven't been invited already?

[oak ledge]

I’m scared of needles

[kindred vigil]

greenneedle or brainstorm

[sinful hatch]

And then a 15 minute cutscene of glitch’s feet

[winter spoke]

I liked what I played of arc raiders but it didn't grab me in the same way marathon does with it's more vibrant colors and art style. But AR still had some cool retro future inspired presentation and was still fun to play

[regal shoal]

nahhh i just got access a few hours ago

[timid wigeon]

Dude what was your bungo name

[oak ledge]

Let’s goooooo

[oak ledge]

What is bungo my guy

[wild crystal]

If you applied on steam you need to fill out a form

[sinful hatch]

Yo who wants to teach me how to do the desert perpetual any destiny players in here

[timid wigeon]

Bungie account

[naive plover]

thats not a separate thing glitch actually has magic that requires her feet to be out and thats REALLY important to blackbird's subplot

[daring snow]

hopefully I can get in

[kindred vigil]

no one's playing desert besides clans and their own friends sry

[teal root]

Reality is they had a sick art style that was stolen, they should have paid off Antireal and kept the artwork, but instead it's some generic nonsense, everyone is zoned into arc raiders, and this should have been a lay up with 1st person Destiny gunplay but they managed to do everythign wrong, and I was defending this game for weeks

[oak ledge]

I can’t tell you cause then I’ll probably get killed somehow irl judging how my luck usually goes

[regal shoal]

you probably will man, what platform are you on?

[alpine berry]

the NDA is low T behaviour

[remote stump]

i did try to, but the form never loads for me unfortunately, just the circle spinnin forever

[coral stream]

T6BR7-ZR636-WHQPH spare code they gave me that i didnt need from the first test. Lmk if it works

[kindred vigil]

buddy said low T

[autumn basin]

Any UK players looking to squad up this weekend? Need someone to show me the ropes.

[timid wigeon]

Add me then Booga#8478

[naive plover]

god ive never needed to follow an NDA more in my life, its literally gonna replace my spiro /j

[sinful hatch]

There’s also a prequel graphic novel dedicated to glitch’s feet

[oak ledge]

I don’t want to die

[alpine berry]

what is a spiro

[quaint solar]

this truly makes zero sense to me as a take, because the essence of the art style is still there?

[oblique crypt]

What u yapping about u didn’t answer what i said 🤣 Ik about all that mess

[remote gulch]

Any1 in the tech test trying to run some games

[oak ledge]

You wanna play marathon?

[sinful hatch]

Holy shit it’s Heisenberg the funny guy from the funny show with the funny crystal stuff

[teal root]

lol the essence? Oh OK

[kindred vigil]

I don't know

[naive plover]

also reveals that Locus was the father, but, thats hidden in SUPER hidden text written in the soles of her feet ok its SO important that you look that close ok trust me

[daring snow]

steam

[tardy thorn]

defending this game where? not here

[oak ledge]

My social anxiety is way too bad to add anybody

[velvet blade]

I'm sorry but antireal does not own the entire artstyle

[regal shoal]

oh ya youll def get it. youll get an email from steam letting you know

[alpine berry]

it took me 1 day to get access

[teal root]

Yapping? OK

[unborn badger]

please educate yourself 💔

[oak ledge]

Send help

[frosty glen]

Why am I still not in NDA chat

[naive plover]

its my matrix-esque bluepill that makes me cool and swag (antiandrogen, a vital part of all marathon player's kits,)

[quaint solar]

The Ignore feature coming in clutch here

[teal root]

lol enjoy your peak 8k player game I guess

[oak ledge]

Why did you ignore me

[sinful hatch]

Oh who made that mess, tell me who made that mess you diddddd daddy you diddd

[daring snow]

Generally pretty quick or you think more realisticly like tomorrow?

[winter spoke]

I'm having to be careful with what I say but i don't really see how the art style is "generic".

[quaint solar]

Not you! You're chill!

[unborn badger]

immediately shows his real face some of y'all here oh my god 💀 💀

[oak ledge]

I love this guy

[remote gulch]

Thats the trick we aint because they dont got it

[oblique crypt]

Me how ?

[quaint solar]

I do my best!

[regal shoal]

honestly probably tomorrow. i signed up for it on steam a few days ago and just now got it

[sinful hatch]

Don’t worry bro it’s nothing 🥀🥀

[worn chasm]

You cant be serious lol

[naive plover]

the artstyle isnt boring i like these things

[oblique crypt]

I aint a dev

[daring snow]

Yeah you would think they will do more waves considering its the weekend and alot of people will sign up

[frosty glen]

There was a feedback chat this morning and yesterday that I was in and somehow it disappeared for me but they were saying in there that it wasn’t NDA either

[alpine berry]

First Condord and now Marathon....Sony is going to keep third party devs on a leash soon

[sinful hatch]

Too innocent 💔💔💔

[somber knoll]

the dreded oculus questipillar

[oblique crypt]

What u said had nothing to do with what I asked

[naive plover]

god i wish i was a dev

[craggy loom]

ur weird

[unborn badger]

bro.

[kindred vigil]

what I say gng

[teal root]

i didnt' mean to respond to your meaningless comment

[oak ledge]

There is no way marathon goes as quickly as concord. Right?

[tardy thorn]

do you have to talk to mods here to get the NDA tag?

[worn chasm]

I dont like Marathon currently but I dont think it'll fail as hard as Concord

[sinful hatch]

That’s so hot

[worn geode]

👀👀

[oak ledge]

No mods here only devs

[alpine berry]

in it's current state I think it will have like 12 months at most

[fringe acorn]

Please play with mics on or at least try to ping and communicate

[worn chasm]

Concord had like 700 players peak and last like 6mo right?

[regal shoal]

idk if this breaks any nda but it says that theyre slowly rolling out the invites over time. not sure if its the time you signed up or random though

[remote gulch]

Impossible, its too eye catching and frankly good all things considered

[winter spoke]

No not at all. Unless marathon does as bad or worse than concord which I can't see. But I definitely think Sony is slowly cleaning house at Bungie and will be under PS Studios soon enough

[velvet blade]

Lmao bro i feel that

[wet sparrow]

You can tell, honestly. This Discord needs mods desperately

[alpine berry]

r u a transformer?

[worn geode]

Imagine if it had actually released in September bro it would’ve been the biggest failure of the year

[teal root]

Big picture, this game had easy potential that was squandered and you'll see it in live player counts when they get around to releasing it , and I've been defending it for months

[crude jay]

I know its probably already been mentioned, but are content creators able to make videos after the playtest is over to talk about what the game is like? Or does the NDA extend?

[kindred vigil]

Does someone want to play call of duty black ops 1 wager match

[oblique crypt]

Meaningless… OH nooo my heart 💔

[oak ledge]

Seriously. Hire me I’ll do it

[alpine berry]

what are you wagering?

[worn chasm]

Correct, unfortunately

[sinful hatch]

NEEYTH I NEEEDDDD THISSSSSSSS

[naive plover]

optimus prime,,,

waow,,,

[tardy thorn]

When I go to the survey page to get my NDA channel it goes to my code saying I was selected

[kindred vigil]

autobots roll out holy fuck

[remote gulch]

Any1 down to play some rounds of the tech test

[winter spoke]

🏳️‍⚧️

[sinful hatch]

Holy fuckkkk Heisenberg 2

[kindred vigil]

Guys what's the name of the popular song that goes "I don't know" it's been everywhere I can't find the name

[craggy loom]

Darude sandstorm

[velvet blade]

I'm in the same situation as you and I'm doing my best to just be patient but mannnn

[sinful hatch]

It’s worldwide by osamason featured on his album psykotic

[kindred vigil]

thanks twin

[remote gulch]

We might be..................Breaking Bad

[somber knoll]

Steppin’ - Supa Dupa Humble?

[naive plover]

wow the colors from the Desperada from MechWarrior Online Legends so cool,,,,

[craggy loom]

your welcome :)

[sinful hatch]

I’m putting u on bro u gotta tap in gng @kindred vigil

[kindred vigil]

This isn't it

[sinful hatch]

Bro I swear it’s worldwide by osamason I promise

[kindred vigil]

This beat is crazy

[elder quest]

Does marathon can run on Linux steam deck?

[sinful hatch]

Fr bruh my friends brother produced that shit

[winter spoke]

Probably not even the anti cheat

[oak ledge]

Maybe if we tagged the Devs online about the NDA chat - we could get some more information? :]

[regal shoal]

let me personally test that for u rq. im guesing not tho cause of the anticheat

[alpine berry]

I hope Hunger doesn't disappoint like Arc and Marathon

[somber knoll]

OHHHH you talking about Erika - I Don't Know

[oak ledge]

@limpid moth Do you know when the next wave of NDA CHAT invites are going out?

[velvet blade]

this server needs some sweatshop type mods 😂

[kindred vigil]

I found the song it's legit called I don't know

@somber knoll yes that's it thank you

[fringe acorn]

The nature of the game is having a longer loading screen than game sometimes.

[somber knoll]

np

[proud jolt]

the games not bad, its just painfully mid. Cant get into the details but imo its gonna be dao bc Arc and Tarkov releasing. No reason to play this over those imo, the art style is still cool

[oak ledge]

Nah bro it just needs me and you

[kindred vigil]

what genre of music is this it sounds European

[teal root]

They don't care about your NDA chat. It's done in three days. This is a burning townhome.

[naive plover]

just like destiny 2 it's ok

[twin hazel]

So everytime I try to get on the game, it’s “access denied” everytime a message saying “Failed to download configuration files, please try again. Been trying since I got the code on the 22nd. Really bumming me out. I’m on ps5 btw

[kind radish]

legit issue genre-wide honestly

[oak ledge]

Well! I've never been so offended

[teal root]

I was telling people it was great until it wasn't, and I came in super enthusiastic.

[oak ledge]

I'm changing my tag back to ARC hmph

[coral stream]

faxtual statement

[remote stump]

Like I am grateful for the opportunity to test it out, but it has become very very obvious that I am not the target audience

[proud jolt]

tbh its a fine game, good 7/10 for me its growing on me a lil as i played more. Theres a few things that need balanced that would be pretty easy and improve player experience alot more.
I was kinda hyped for the game too, i didnt watch any1 play it from the other tests but now its like eh not gonna buy when Arc raiders exists

[somber merlin]

if they insist on pvp being present then they need to add an incentive to cooperate otherwise its just going to be people killing eachother over and over, and at that point you might as well play crucible

[naive plover]

I will continue my quest to extract at least once from every extraction shooter I play without ever firing a single shot or getting in a single gunfight

[proud jolt]

wdym cooperate

[kindred vigil]

FAHHHHHHHH

[proud jolt]

have you played ABI

[oak ledge]

did you play ARC

[naive plover]

no 😔 my bf is trying to make me play it though

[somber merlin]

as it stands now players are just another gun running around with no sentient thought. If you add an incentive to cooperate like the cycle did in its early iterations (before they made it a mid tarkov clone) It had a much higher frequency of people cooperating and also opened the oppurtunity for double crosses.

[wicked quarry]

just tried to play for the last 20 minutes and my shit crashed 10 times. should i go for 11 or what

[naive plover]

to ABI not ARC I've never played arc

[proud jolt]

i still dont know what you mean by co operate. Co operate with what

[somber merlin]

Add an in match squad up feature and buff players stats for cooperating

[alpine berry]

Midathon is a good nam

[proud jolt]

play ABI its pretty similar to tarkov

[nimble maple]

Ngl arc is buns rn. Hopefully the game has more depth otherwise it will die after the streamers move on. This at least has cool cinematics lmao

[somber merlin]

and cooperating for contracts like you would with a proper squad

[agile crow]

arcs pretty fun i like marathon more tho

[teal root]

I played Arc and won't be buying because it's third person. The first person shooting in this game is the saving grace, and they had a missed lay-up.

[proud jolt]

the cinematics are the best thing about the game

[dense raptor]

My friend requested access after me and just got invited 4 hours ago. I still have yet to receive mine....

[oak ledge]

streamers will not be keeping ARC afloat lol

[naive plover]

ohhhhh I loved tarkov back when I played it so I might actually have to clear up the space on my laptop

[rain scarab]

there's rumours of dungeon/raid like mechanics no? that would definitely give a good incentive for solos/squads to cooperate

[proud jolt]

i dont see how thats even possible

[oak ledge]

I prefer FPS but 3rd person is fun sometimes

[proud jolt]

unless its just you hating third person

[rain scarab]

it's the vibes

[proud jolt]

spirtual shi

[hazy salmon]

ARC has more going for it than Marathon imo. I want both to succeed though.

[nimble maple]

If there’s one thing bungie does right. It’s cinematics and gameplay feel. Arc has neither

[regal shoal]

thats y i love competition in gaming. marathon would have most likely launched DOA without Arc raiders existing, now they gotta up their game and make something better. now if only some1 would do it for skate games

[teal root]

Yeah, that's a clear AAA polished game. I just can't get into the third person shooting, but I understand a lot of people can

[agile crow]

i prefer the fps of marathon, im playing it rn, i like arc, arc is rlly fun with friends and both are solid, but solo and artstyle wise marathon has my heart. both are great and both will take thousands of hours of my life

[lone umbra]

I prefer 3rd person but the arc intro was way better

[agile crow]

i sunk like 30hrs into the server slam almost

[lone umbra]

Immediately hooked.

First person***

[oak ledge]

I loved Battlefront which was 3rd person and Fortnite lol

[agile crow]

oh agreed, but so far with this test of marathon im so hyped for it. but sad that all the stuff happened might prevent the success of marathon

u cant like marathon is gourgous tho

[nimble maple]

Tbh both are doa. As much as people shit on it. Tarkov releasing on steam is gonna be massive

[proud jolt]

how i view Arc vs Marathon
PVE : Arc
PVP : Arc but i can see ppl liking marathons more bc 1st person
World design : Arc
Optimization : obviously Arc
graphics : Arc
Loot system : Arc

[teal root]

marthon looks good. It looks a little generic now that they scrapped the real inspiration. I wish they had payed off antireal and kept the artwork

[oak ledge]

if we already own the game can we play on Steam?

[agile crow]

still kinda feels the same vibe imo

[nimble maple]

Why ask a question you know the answer to 😂

[oak ledge]

;_;

[proud jolt]

Tarkov is a dead game and heavily cheater infested. People are acting like Tarkov is a giant game

[lone umbra]

The vibe still slaps

[nimble maple]

lol

[teal root]

Kind of, but feels like a generic knock off to me

[rain scarab]

i think there's room on the extraction market for something not milsim

[agile crow]

im getting like 250 on marathon and 150 on arc with max graphics on both

[oak ledge]

hoping it would be a yes but i know

[agile crow]

THIS

[regal shoal]

no bro 1.0 will change everything trust me

[devout plinth]

250 what? not fps lol

[agile crow]

no 250 fps

[warm linden]

Damn I’m only getting 90 on max in marathon

[proud jolt]

theres no way. Im getting like 130 on marathon and double that on arc. meanwhile Arc's world and graphics are 5x better
Specs : 14700k and 5070 ti

[devout plinth]

yea right. not on max max settings bruh you liar

[nimble maple]

I just don’t see either game lasting. Neither fully commit to rpg elements like Tarkov so there’s no longevity

[velvet blade]

I feel the complete opposite, not that one is better than the other objectively, but its really just my preferences

[proud jolt]

I even turned graphics down on marathon

[devout plinth]

I have a 5080 on max settings I only get around 100

[agile crow]

hold up lemme go do this again

[oak ledge]

im happy with 60 fps this dude is pushing 2,500 fps

[wild vessel]

i get 140 on 4k in maraton

[loud mauve]

Woo

[proud jolt]

Although i didnt notice any difference in graphics on low vs high

[lone umbra]

Arc having a prestige system and cosmetics rewards could keep it going. At least for me

[agile crow]

one second guys

[warm linden]

I got a little budget build and I’m getting average of 90 on max

[oak ledge]

Tarkov is absolutely amazing though I hope it comes to Steam

[quaint solar]

this is just a modern gaming phenomenon and it's very frustrating

low graphics settings are never actually low

[agile crow]

OKAY I LIED
160 fps max graphis

[oak ledge]

I'll rebuy Tarkov to be able to play on Steamdeck

[proud jolt]

Even the people who do buy tarkov ( even i probably will as i never tried it ), the lifetime veterans with 20k hours and the huge number of cheaters combined with the terrible gameplay loop will make them refund it

[wild vessel]

i have a 14700k and a 4080 and get around 140?

[agile crow]

also agree with the prestige @lone umbra

[proud jolt]

thats same as me with practically same specs, and it seems like turning down settings doesnt help it at all

[worn chasm]

I think it has more to do with both being a bit gimmicky, like they both have hooks that have fun parts too them just not anything significant enough to carry it long term

[nimble maple]

Indeed

[worn chasm]

like I wouldn't be surprised if both games lived for 2 years or so

[agile crow]

i have a 3060ti and a amd ryzen 7 9800x3d and im getting 160 max graphics

[nimble maple]

That’s being generous lol. I give arc raiders months. It’s gonna have the same fate as the finals lol

[rain scarab]

performance is not that great on my end either, at around 110 with a 245kf and a 9070xt at 1440p, really hoping that Bungie optimizes the Tiger engine for newer graphics cards

[oak ledge]

ARC has a way better chance at surviving cause it isnt owned by SONY

[quaint solar]

I'm running 1440p and I feel like I'm able to hold at my 120-165fps territory

[proud jolt]

arc raiders is much more optimized while looking MUCH better

[quaint solar]

I mostly dropped to medium settings tho

[naive plover]

I should play arc raiders just because The Finals is bomb and embark deserves my money

[agile crow]

bro....

lowk

[lone umbra]

The Finals is the best!

[oak ledge]

LOL

[proud jolt]

embark needs to put the optimization team for Arc on The finals once arc releases. The finals has so much potential but the fps is terrible

[naive plover]

but I have a deep passionate hatred for in game purchases and will never ever spend money on cosmetics ever in my life

[proud jolt]

probably due to all the physics

[lone umbra]

The finals has the Best customization. It’s what i would hope for marathon

[nimble maple]

You must have a fat wallet

[naive plover]

it got worse last update because they didn't fully optimize destruction 2.0, they're trying to simulate WAYYY too many different physics objects and planes at once

[proud jolt]

its been bad since beta.

[naive plover]

yeah
and it got worse

[proud jolt]

when did they come out with 2.0 i played a few days ago and didnt notice anything

[regal shoal]

i was joking bro yea the devs have also been super shady over the years. there are conspiricies that cheaters are the ones keeping their game afloat and they let them cheat on the game for a certain amount of time and ban them so they have to buy the game again over and over. not only is there a horrible cheating issue because of the sheer difficulty and competitiveness of the game, but its been horribly optimized since it's inception. its also been reported from devs that the game is spaghetti coded, so a lot of the optimization issues would have to be fixed by rebuilding most of the game. the game itself is incredible and the most fleshed out extraction shooter ever, sadly just has a bunch of horrible glaring issues.

[naive plover]

I noticed it hard on my shitbox laptop lol

[quaint solar]

chat I suffer from skill issue and am bad at extraction shooters, and that makes me sad

[proud jolt]

i didnt know tarkov had bad optimization, the game looks worse than DayZ graphically how is fps low

[quaint solar]

that is all, have a nice night

[nimble maple]

CPU heavy

[oak ledge]

Accurate

[regal shoal]

oh my god its HORRIBLE. theres a map called streets of tarkov and you genuinely get like 30 frames average on medium most of the time

[worldly lance]

||HA, you thought this would be JUICY NDA BREAKING DETAILS about the playtest. You would be wrong. Sorry not sorry! 😁||

[nimble maple]

Too many people still on old cpus and they refuse to optimize lmao

[tardy thorn]

so when people play games like this with no mic whatsoever and they die do they talk to themselves like "man I wish I could have told my team they were here"

[naive plover]

🤝
they're my masochistic pleasure though, I never do well but I love em

[nimble maple]

Yea lol

[proud jolt]

tarkov gunplay does look good, arena breakout is very similar its like Tarkov from Wish if you havnt played it but its fun.

[quaint solar]

Extraction shooters are the fix for me now that I've played one

[lone umbra]

Brb gonna solo run

[nimble maple]

Ngl abi is nothing like Tarkov. It’s more akin to DMZ

[oak ledge]

it takes a while to get good

[quaint solar]

I enjoy looting in battle royales but lack the skill to actually win the matches

[wheat beacon]

hello. When I enter the game, I see a message (unable to log into the servers marathon). Is anyone having the same problem?

[proud jolt]

what is dmz

[quaint solar]

so extraction having an alt win condition is what makes me say yes to it

[midnight kettle]

Arc in 5 days

[regal shoal]

ive tried it, its actually pretty enjoyable. its definitely more arcadey and casual-ified but that doesnt take away anything from it

[nimble maple]

The cod extraction mode they abandoned

[quaint solar]

or at least, yes to giving it a try

[agile crow]

my rust replacement!!!

[proud jolt]

i somehow never heard of that

[oak ledge]

DMZ was really fun

[misty bobcat]

try hunt

[nimble maple]

It was decent. Had quests and loot

[alpine berry]

I turned everything to low and it felt like my fps was worse....although it makes it easier to see through all the fog everywhere in the distance

[oak ledge]

they killed DMZ lol

[lone umbra]

Anyone know where the comms chip is??

[proud jolt]

if anyone remembers the first COD battle foyale before warzone, Blackout in bo4. That was really fun

[regal shoal]

i remember the prox chat on DMZ being so fun hahha

[proud jolt]

warzone is ass

[oak ledge]

I remember when PUBG came out xD

[nimble maple]

Yea super fun. Blackout was better then pubg

[quaint solar]

life is too short to focus on how much you dislike something, focus on the things you enjoy instead <3

[jaunty musk]

what happens after the last exfil on the map is used?

[quaint solar]

Watch Cinemawins, not Cinemasins

[nimble maple]

Probably rip Haven’t stayed long enough to see lmao

[regal shoal]

prolly just die or somethin

[proud jolt]

i assume theyre re-usable no? thats how most extractions handle them

[lone umbra]

If its like other extracs . Ya boned

[nimble maple]

Yea they are reusable

[proud jolt]

probably after a period of time

[jaunty musk]

my team left without me, and I was ducking a 3 stack. got out solo with the last exfil and that squad was there lol

[lone umbra]

Sweet

[nimble maple]

I think they stay? But if you don’t have enough time to let it warm up then rip

[proud jolt]

im gonna hop back on to check fps again, it probably is very different between maps. Wish there was a shooting range

[agile crow]

i enjoy marathon

[regal shoal]

can u actually play the third map

[proud jolt]

at level 15 i think

[oak ledge]

I guess I'll play some MTHN.

[quaint solar]

wonderful!

[alpine berry]

if Arc was first person it would go from a 5/10 to a 7/10 for me

[quaint solar]

to be fair I wasn't just talking about Marathon, I was talking generally for a reason

[latent bramble]

ngl, yall did it this time, im lovin it

[kindred vigil]

we need to go to bed ✌️

[nimble maple]

Arc is too sluggish to be first person. The inertia feeling would be 10x worse than Tarkov lmao

[proud jolt]

5/10 and 7/10 are both criminal. I dont see how people dislike that game unless you were just getting fucked by the Ai ur whole play time

[quaint solar]

god don't remind me 😭

[agile crow]

arc is sluggish but its enjoyable

[nimble maple]

I can’t imagine the hundreds of Reddit threads there would be

[agile crow]

yeah its a really fun game

[sinful hatch]

Opinions brah 🔥🔥🔥

[quaint solar]

ya'll know what I miss

[wary steppe]

Im really diggin marathon!

[quaint solar]

Halo 5: Warzone

[nimble maple]

I’m good

[proud jolt]

arc is like battlefront 2 but a extraction shooter

[alpine berry]

just felt very bland. I hate third person combat because it always turns to cheese passive play. The gunplay was not good at all imo. The Arc are annoying because they punish moving. A lot of the game is a snore when people use meta playstyles.

[potent sand]

yea that was actually pretty good. you know what I also miss? halo reach invasion

[kindred vigil]

Lwk a good mode

[teal root]

That’s a little low for me, but if they incorporated the first person ADS from Exoborne, easily game of the year

[quaint solar]

Halo 5 was criminally overhated just because people were mad it wasn't Halo 3 all over again

[alpine berry]

that wouldn't stop people from wall licking though

[potent sand]

the campaign was complete ass and the worst campaign of the series

[pulsar storm]

They basically said first person isn’t going to be a thing

[quaint solar]

343 really cooked with H5's multiplayer, and a mid campaign will never take that away from me

[proud jolt]

the arc could be pretty annoying, it felt like they were WAYYY too strong, and i was using the sniper (ferro) mainly with high penetration and the flying ones were still tanking 10+ shots. My biggest complaints were the tankiness and not finding ammo

[kindred vigil]

Horrendous campaign but fun multi

[potent sand]

that's cause you suck and didn't hit where you were supposed to

[frail oxide]

2 shots..... in the stabilizer and they're down.

[proud jolt]

not the normal flying ones, the taser ones

[frail oxide]

yeah

same, shoot the back fans with no armor

[potent sand]

basically the same shit lmfao

[proud jolt]

the spider is a jumpscare of doom, thing almost wiped my whole team my 1st match

[quaint solar]

and we don't talk enough about how Halo Reach walked, so Halo 5 could run, and then Halo Infinite could soar

[proud jolt]

i get that theyre suppose to be strong but i expect "high penetration" to mean "high penetration"

[sinful hatch]

Me and my team tried taking one out and just resorted to rushing with our wrenches shi was hilarious

[quaint solar]

in terms of Forge mode, uncontested map editor

[granite jungle]

Hey Guys, how get I access to the NDA Channel? I dosn't left my Discord ID at the Registration.

[potent sand]

tf? halo reach sored and then it was downhill from there. oh forge mode. true.

[nimble maple]

Fr

[proud jolt]

halo talk reminded me of splitgate

[alpine berry]

if you aim at the rotors they go down faster but they're still grief material. I had a fight where 3 ARC flew over an enemy team to grief me....

[proud jolt]

splitgate would still be alive if they sold splitgate 1 to epic

[alpine berry]

Which is why I don't plan to buy it

[quaint solar]

Halo 5 is good, Halo Infinite is good, neither are perfect but I would rather play Halo 5 and Infinite over Reach any day of the week

[alpine berry]

Nah game died because most people don't like the core game play loop

[proud jolt]

yeah i didnt learn about the back rotors until later in the server slam. I shouldve watched some tips n tricks videos or sum

[quaint solar]

Reach didn't age as poorly as Halo 3, but it still is clunky and weirdly balanced

[echo void]

who can tell me how to get into the chat for players who are taking the beta test, otherwise they didn't add me and I don't know what to do?

[proud jolt]

Splitgate 1 was really fun and alot more fun than splitgate 2. Splitgate 2 almost had no portal spots i dont get their logic in doing that

[potent sand]

Halo 5 was really good multiplayer. Infinite runs like complete ass. Reach was really good post bloom and sprint never really bothered me for some resaon

[quaint solar]

Halo 5 was balanced as tight as a drum, and Halo Infinite is incredibly refined in totality of its sandbox

[alpine berry]

the portal mechanic is why most people immediately quite splite gate 1

[proud jolt]

gunplay and movement are great in both splitgates

[frail oxide]

if you're playing marathon please use the effing mic

[proud jolt]

halo pvp peaked in halo 3

[potent sand]

the only thing I hated about reach was them making the elites look like absolute shit. and I primarily played MLG playlist so didn't have to engage with other things

[alpine berry]

I like halo 3 but 2 was the best for me. 3 made the game MUCH more about team work and nerfed solo viability to carry

[quaint solar]

look this is 100% my opinion that is not remotely universal, but Halo 3 multiplayer is so dull to me and I'm very frustrated that I can't enjoy it like other people can

[heady monolith]

why are we talking about the past

[kindred vigil]

Not unc enough

[quaint solar]

my Halo PVP tier list is Halo 5 > Halo Infinite > Halo 2 > Halo Reach > Halo 3 > Halo CE

[proud jolt]

ima download infinite rn to try it again, i only played at launch

[alpine berry]

becasue this is the marathon discord?

[potent sand]

2 was also the best for me. 3 was aight but most people like 3 because it was the first Halo game they played

[heady monolith]

yall need to use your mics

[hallow osprey]

new alpha

[random wasp]

yo do we know if this game is going to be f2p or what?

[kindred vigil]

It's not

[quaint solar]

I've never understood the H3 love beyond nostalgia and it's so funny to me when people act as if Halo 3 is the gold standard when every Halo game has weird parts

[snow canopy]

Damn, the game is still ass.

[agile crow]

no its a $40 purchase i think

[quaint solar]

and Halo 3 is no different

[alpine berry]

it had a massive esports scene

[broken tide]

Bungie, where’s my code? Why do I have to wait for another wave of invites? I’ve been following the project for a long time, applied for the tests, and still got left out every time. It’s already the 25th, and it looks like I won’t get to play or test the game at all. Feels like I’m being ignored. I check my email and the website every day, but all I ever see is “check back later.” There’s nothing in my inbox or on Steam either — I applied for access there too.

[proud jolt]

this playtest is impressively un-organized on bungies part though. How is there still no NDA channel, besides the NDA shouldnt even exist if their confident in their game

they should want it to be getting attention on socials n ect

[random wasp]

that's reasonable ig

[potent sand]

there is an nda channel

[kindred vigil]

unlucky

[worldly kelp]

How do we get access to the alpha test channels?

[proud jolt]

nobody is getting into it

[eager trout]

hey guys, how to do the 'Introducing: Nucaloric' contract

[cerulean solar]

maybe im just new and bad, but the ai seems really strong

[agile crow]

no it just is strong gng

[proud jolt]

it felt really weak for me

[quaint solar]

they are not pushovers and I'm genuinely here for it

[eager trout]

ur not d only 1 who thinks so

[proud jolt]

like 6 bullets from an smg takes them out

[potent sand]

I'm in it and there are a lot of other people. Idk why they're slow to let more people in, but they definitely let a lot in already

[random wasp]

but nobody can get access to it

[inland swan]

theyve got nasty vision

[quaint solar]

if you can aim, you can deal with individuals, but it's not like Halo where you can manage a bunch of enemies at once without worrying too much

[random wasp]

can you let us in???

[quaint solar]

If there's any more than 3 recruits, you are in danger and a misplay will get you killed

[potent sand]

idk I'm scared to try tbh. in regards to linking it

[eager trout]

I just can't find that NuCal employee ID

[quaint solar]

lmao it reminds me of Hitman actually

[random wasp]

i'm stuck on it too, but i guess we can't talk about anything outside the nda chat

[quaint solar]

like, you CAN get into a firefight with a bunch of enemies. Your funeral tho LMAO

[eager trout]

got it

[worldly kelp]

Who do we get into contact with to get access to the NDA channels?

[potent sand]

it should just automatically let you in eventually

[random wasp]

n o b o d y k n o w s

[proud jolt]

Feel like this couldve been completely automated.

[river dove]

you cant give us access obviously lol, you need the role

[potent sand]

what role?

[river dove]

it is, but they screwed up the bot lol

[leaden condor]

At this point Im just sorta here to hangout. Even if I don't get to play

[worldly kelp]

Good to know. Guess I'll just note my feedback and hope for access down the line

[proud jolt]

bungie moment

[oak ledge]

i just murdered a runner with a knife

[quaint solar]

ya'll are forgetting this server has over 100,000 people in it

[river dove]

you got the MCTT role that's for the NDA channels

[slender shale]

Does anyone know how many players are in a 'raid' in Marathon at any one time?

[random wasp]

i'll just wait i guess. not much else to do.

[proud jolt]

how does that change anything

[potent sand]

oh I thought you meant I need to have a role in order to give someone access lol. Yeah I figured I couldn't do it anyways, but just didn't know what would happen if I linked it. Prob would just say "you do not have access to this channel" for those who clicked on it

[quaint solar]

do you not remember the first day this server opened

[leaden condor]

Nah sorry my dude. 😔

[grim cloak]

Are we allowed to talk about gameplay?

[worn geode]

#tech-test-nda-general-discussion

[leaden condor]

The server link was dying due to the amount of people joining. It was bad.

[quaint solar]

Discord and bots were STRUGGLING lmao

[potent sand]

woah you gave me access. thx bro

[leaden condor]

I never got access, but it was fun to watch.

[frail oxide]

still no access to the NDA channel :c

[weary ferry]

Same

[grand shuttle]

what's worming my wormers

[quaint solar]

chat

[frail oxide]

it has to be painfull to add each person manually

[quaint solar]

yell at me to go to bed, it is 3AM

[leaden condor]

I think it's getting done manually. So you guys might just have to wait.

[proud jolt]

i mean yeah its bungies first new IP since 2017 and it was suppose to already be launched. And they're not even trying to generate hype they should want people to make videos and talk about it on socials not NDA it

games a 2026 release i dont think any1 is gonna care

[leaden condor]

Im just here to talk to first steps people.

[frail oxide]

i do care.

[quaint solar]

call me crazy

[frail oxide]

that's why im here playing the game.

[proud jolt]

this guy cares chat

[old musk]

quick question, between this and arc which is better?

[quaint solar]

but the next time that fans look at an in development project, and are mad that it's not final, and demand it be delayed because it's not final, I may lose my mind

[leaden condor]

Unsure.

[proud jolt]

arc

[weary ferry]

Atomic Bomb VS Coughing baby

[frail oxide]

there you go, that's explain everything.

[old musk]

any idea on pricing of this game?

[stable lark]

this

[lone umbra]

Need emotes

[twilit crystal]

Yep, same, just says check back later to see if ive been accepted into the closed test. Im past caring now anyway, sick of refreshing it, arc raiders is out in 5 days, ill wait for marathon to go on sale with a major discount before buying it or on gamepass or ps plus

[leaden condor]

$40.00 I believe

[proud jolt]

that didnt happen with marathon ?

[quaint solar]

Arc and Marathon are different enough that a 1-1 comparison isn't fair but that's just me

[old musk]

so both games ar epriced same

[proud jolt]

yeah the only similarities imo is the genre it kinda stops there

[main kestrel]

I got in to marathon and I have like 5 hours on d2 💀

[old musk]

except artstyle, what are the other noticable differences? i haven't played marathon yet, but i have enjoyed arc a lot

[leaden condor]

Well welcome to the Bungie Community circle.

[wind bison]

dont think you need to have played d2 bc I have never and I got in

[river dove]

that's exactly what they want though lol

[quaint solar]

enjoy your Destiny journey! it's not as bad as people say, it's a very fun game, just be careful to not treat it like a job and instead treat it like a game :p

[leaden condor]

They want a new audience.

[stable lark]

My friend that has never played Destiny and my friend that has played Destiny 10x more than I have both got in and I'm still waiting (´・ω・`)

[rain scarab]

I got an invite with 800hrs of destiny2, i know its not in the thousands but i am a casual player

[agile crow]

i think i've enjoyed both tbh. i'll play both a lot when they full release

[quaint solar]

okay I'm forcing myself off my PC now

[agile crow]

night night

[frail oxide]

i've enjoyed destiny, forsaken story and mars missions, amazing

[tropic dragon]

Stop sending runners

[main kestrel]

My brother has like 7k hours on it and got in this morning

[old musk]

if you had to pick one, which would you? as i don't think i can afford both

[random wasp]

it's 100% not about destiny 2 hours, i've never played it and im in

[quaint solar]

remember, just because there are two games doesn't mean one is good and the other is bad. Art is subjective and value propositions are just as subjective, and enjoy things for what they are okay byyyyyyeeeeeeeee

[agile crow]

i'd go with arc. has a better community and gameplay as of right now, also comes out on the 30th. marathon still has a ways to go tbh.

[stable lark]

they're both going to be below $60 and probably will come out several months apart

[unique trellis]

how to get into nda server

[proud jolt]

Arc : marathon. most of this is preference
3rd person : 1st person
big maps : small maps
strong ai : weak ai

how i view Arc vs Marathon
PVE : Arc
PVP : Arc but i can see ppl liking marathons more bc 1st person
World design : Arc
Optimization : obviously Arc
graphics : Arc
Loot system : Arc
Skill tree : Arc
Customization : marathon probably

[tropic dragon]

NDA server is Nucaloric propaganda

[agile crow]

sekgen better

[frail oxide]

pretty much wrong my man

[honest sage]

This game is unplayable... When I entered inventory, the cursor is stop working. Does everyone experience this ????

[agile crow]

thats his personal opinion

[weary ferry]

The biggest ragebait ever seen in this server

[proud jolt]

What is wrong there

[compact raven]

are you streaming the game to friends on discord

[drowsy crown]

At this moment if i would have to pick one i would pick arc... Marathon is not there yet... But this is as much as i am allowed to share. Difference being one if fps other tps - even tho i dont like thirdpersonshooters i would still pick arc

[old musk]

i have saved like 25$ for arc raiders rn (its 40$), and from where i am, there is a possibility that taxes might increase to 65% making purchases of games almost impossible for me.

i don't think i can drop more money from my side because costs, but if the taxes are added, then i am pretty much cooked

[honest sage]

No

[proud jolt]

no issue here, try going windowed borderless mode?

[old musk]

thank you for a detailed analysis

[hollow crater]

that's the nda working hjahahah

[fossil hazel]

anyone getting a marmot error trying to get into the closed test for marathon?

[fringe acorn]

Is general chat invaded by anti-marathon. It’s all of a sudden?

[proud jolt]

i have seen alot of people type about errors, i havnt had any lucky ig

[weary ferry]

Fr

[old musk]

arc was extremely fun to play, i didn't make up my mind yet because i didn't get invited for marathon yet

[random wasp]

the only thing I really disagree with here is world design. I think arc's aesthetic is really cool but the lore and absurdity of marathon is really captivating.

[rain scarab]

this

[random wasp]

i guess if you're talking about map design, idk which I would pick

[twilit crystal]

Bro its not even a full price game, it costs £32, your not even that far away from having that amount saved there, just keep sving little by little and you will have enough my man 👌🏻

[agile crow]

this!

i love both games

i will play both games

ok yay

[frail oxide]

nothing new

[inner plover]

have a friend having issuses with code Salak...they cannot get into the game on ps5...any solutions?

[honest sage]

Wait, I exit obs.exe it looks good. This game is detect obs.exe even I do not record????? omg

[compact raven]

yup lol

[agile crow]

NDA my friend

[proud jolt]

idrc for the lore of either. i prefer arc because of the big maps with much more exploration and the game also just looks so much better

Atleast in arc they explain the lore at launch of the game, in marathon you will have to read essays of codex or watch a 10 hour yt video like destiny but ik lore-heads love that

[old musk]

im from argentina, dropping 40$ is almost dropping half my monthly wage on a game 💀 steam messed up bad by dollarising us, the games have skyrocketed in price

[hollow crater]

Anything but civilised comparison of two similar games

[random wasp]

i don't think discussion of other games of the same genre is "anti-marathon." this isn't 1984.

[fringe acorn]

Didn’t ask

[frail oxide]

maybe now.

[obsidian robin]

anti-marathon propagenda is rage bait at this point

[old musk]

i think we are discussing the games in a civilized manner? i am sorry if i offended anyone

[proud jolt]

what part of that is ragebait

[inner plover]

it always has been, people who didnt get in complaining or just people who dont want marathon/ bungie to succeed

[old musk]

i just wanted to make a decision on which game to save up for as i can't get both

[compact raven]

the game starts by telling you lore

[grand shuttle]

ure so sigma

[honest sage]

The dev does not trust player at all lol. I know how they feel because a lot of chinese leak on bilibili as they did on BF6.

[weary ferry]

Just joking, i know that is ur personal opinion

[hollow crater]

What if I am in and complaining

[proud jolt]

i still somewhat like Marathon its grown on me as i played a lil more but i just wont be playing it over other extractions

[rain scarab]

yeah but the lore feels more shallow as well, at least to me. didn't find the world of arc captivating. looks great though

[compact raven]

having actual feedback for the game is great and necessary but so many people just spewing stupid opinions in here so hard to take it seriously

[old musk]

i kinda love the lore aspect of games ngl

[obsidian robin]

real

[brittle dove]

im sorry

[proud jolt]

the barebones

[old musk]

what other extraction shooters do you play?

[inner plover]

then you fall under the second group ig...i mean having valid critisim
is fair

[regal wagon]

“At least in arc they explain the lore at launch”

[proud jolt]

i only recently got into extractions, ive tried Arc, ABI, Delta force, tarkov a long time ago doesnt rlly count

[proud jolt]

again im not one to read through essays of "codex" or watch a 10 hour lore breakdown.

[compact raven]

what part of the arc server slam gave you more lore than marathon does

[old musk]

i used to play a lot of DMZ and that's what got me into extraction shooters... I tried hunt but it was not for me, and other extraction shooters just didn't feel like it

[proud jolt]

the starting cutscene

[compact raven]

did you skip marathon starting cutscene or what

[tame dagger]

No one can talk about the state of marathon right now, legally. Wait til open beta

[regal wagon]

Literally

[random wasp]

I mean, marathon has like dune-levels of lore, and arc raiders it just "quirky 80s themed apacolypse"

[compact raven]

like what are we talking about

[proud jolt]

no but it must be that forgettable

[random wasp]

i mean sure, but then what's the point of having this chat?

[old musk]

oh damn! why is that?

[tame dagger]

There's a specific channel for NDA members. They are legally not allowed to talk about the game in this channel

[glass spade]

i think marathon will do better then arc i remember the finals got this same hype and was cut down in a month

[trim notch]

Looking forward to open beta, need more people to play against

[random wasp]

we can at least talk about some aspects of the game, surely?

[tame dagger]

It's an NDA test

[glass spade]

no its not

[random wasp]

i'm aware, im also aware that I'm not in it even though i should be

[left raft]

the game devs are so stupid man. create a game when npc can kill you with 3 bullets but you need to hit full magazine to kill one of them. Them they are like 4 and 5 all the time. impossible solo game. Stupids with no QA. this is amazing. a AAA company making piece of shit game

[proud jolt]

nobody is, they are being really slow at getting ppl in

[tame dagger]

Yes it is??? Look at the News channel

[old musk]

oh ok my apologies

[stable lark]

git gud lol

[proud jolt]

brother if you die to the ai in this game play stardew valley or sum

[river dove]

skill issue

[random wasp]

bro this is the qa wtf

[proud jolt]

the ai is weak

[regal wagon]

any update on the nda channel? I’ve played for the past couple of days and wanted to voice some thoughts. Very fun though

[random wasp]

why do you think they are having a beta

[proud jolt]

you kill them quick with the base weapons

[agile crow]

some of the hate is so forced man its rough to see

[left raft]

na its not harcore. its stupid. veru different.

[quaint solar]

Sorry no, Arc Raider’s opening cutscene is so aggressively mid in comparison to Marathon’s

[tame dagger]

Fill out the survey linked in the News channel and they'll give you access

[tame dagger]

#marathon-news message

[quaint solar]

Like, critically, at an analytical standpoint, they’re not even in the same universe

[proud jolt]

yeah it was like probably not even a minute long. Arc just wants you to dive into the game not read a bunch of lore

[random wasp]

ok i just need to clarify: comparing marathon to arc raiders is not "hate," it's perfectly normal to compare two games of the same genre

[left raft]

another stupid stuff. a melee player can kill a player betetr than a weapon. this need to be a joke.

[regal wagon]

Mr move the goal posts holy crap

[proud jolt]

arc raiders and marathon comparisons pratically end outside them being the same genre

[blissful belfry]

filled out the survey and havent been added to the NDA channel yet...

[proud jolt]

said 24h for me and that was yesterday lol

[left raft]

i dont know who was in the previus beta, But the improve sucks. they need to remake this minecraf modd a lot.

[random wasp]

ok? and? they have similar gameplay mechanics so it makes sense to compare them???

[regal wagon]

Preciate it

[proud jolt]

how do they have similar gameplay mechanics they dont even have the same camera angle

[quaint solar]

Look all I’m saying is if you’re saying that Marathon’s opening cutscene was forgettable and didn’t give you as much lore as Arc’s minute long nothing burger

[agile crow]

oh yes i know im not talking about that, im talking about the "bad devs, this games so terrible, etc."

[left raft]

This game its copying a lot from THE CYCLE FRONTIER. ITS A COPY COPY WITH ANOTHER MODELS. wtf

[twilit crystal]

Bungie hyped this test up hard, made everyone sign up early, and then handled invites like a secret lottery 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[random oasis]

the closed technical test is under NDA, you really shouldn’t be posting anything about it outside of the channels dedicated to that

[quaint solar]

Then like, idk what to tell you

[proud jolt]

"well u can shoot guns in both, and move in both, and loot in both"

[random wasp]

glad we could clear that up.

[agile crow]

GO TO BED

[agile crow]

relax man

[proud jolt]

idc for lore i care for gameplay

[tame dagger]

There's likely less than 1000 people currently in it. It's not that deep, just a very selective pool for an early test

[random wasp]

ok so would you compare marathon to borderlands 4 instead? or battlefield 6? literally brain dead logic

[regal wagon]

Agreed art-style hooked me originally I’m so glad I got to finally play lol

[agile crow]

omg same its soooo pretty

[stable lark]

Have you seen what the other Marathon games are like?

[quaint solar]

Then like. Don’t critique lore and story presentation LMAO

[proud jolt]

give me 3 similarities of arc raiders and marathons that dont just include them being extraction shooters

[wild tapir]

Arc raiders already had 3rd person sweats, that peak and shoot in a way that you cant even see them, mb only for 0.1 sec - i hate that

[proud jolt]

arent those games like ancient, no

[quaint solar]

Brain awake 😭 imma take a melatonin tho

[agile crow]

they have guns
they have ai
they have lore
(im trolling)

[proud jolt]

atleast youre self aware 😭

[random wasp]

bro it's too late for this i can't even tell when i'm getting punked

[compact raven]

bruh let me into the NDA channel already i wanna discuss this game but not with these yappers

[agile crow]

LMAOO
they r similar genres but different games at their core
marathon feels more pvp like whereas arc feels like a story game almost
