[severe hound]

the most recent map only 75% of it was textured, most of the barriers were greyboxed and a whole corner of the map as well

[warm granite]

They’ve run like 4-5 playtests or more already and announced it’s releasing this year

[severe hound]

a very early access version yes, one that is still an alpha as they put it.

[warm granite]

That’s released my man. It’s marketing on their part because it’s an underwhelming game

[severe hound]

the one coming this year has the first pass on the actual economy. thats not released

[warm granite]

They have a steam page up for it already

[severe hound]

ok and? the store page even says the version launching this year is a very early version of the game

[warm granite]

That says release q3 2026 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1872800/EVE_Vanguard/

Does not say early access, says release

[severe hound]

literally says Early Access Q3 2026 right htere on the very top of the page. i cant screenshot

[warm granite]

Where

[wooden roost]

bruh

[warm granite]

It says q3 2026 release for me I’m on mobile idk if it’s different

[wooden roost]

scroll down thats what it says on steam but if u look at what the dev put there it says early access q3 2026

[severe hound]

theres a banner under vision that refers to Early Access in Q3 2026 with a very first pass on the little hub and the economy

it could end up DOA (its CCP) but its basically where this game was a couple years ago atm

[warm granite]

I don’t see anything saying early access must be because mobile. the games has had playtests for 2-3 years now and early access is a marketing term these days but we’ll see

[charred snow]

Who knows. Maybe like Marathon, that game might also have its own special sauce. Let's wait and see.

[severe hound]

i will say them doing this whole thing and not being even more explicit about the state of the game is definitely going to bite them in the ass

[warm granite]

Yeah I think it will go the way of dust, eve players won’t care for it so they’ll have to get new players

[wooden roost]

pointr youre just blind its right there on steam mobile

[warm granite]

If they can get new players it has a chance but competition will be stiff

I’m prob blind then I looked and didn’t see

[severe hound]

yea what i played was Very Rough in the post Arc Raiders world

i feel less jank out of forever winter

[charred snow]

That reminds me that beta decay is taking its sweet time

[warm granite]

Beta decay looks alright I’ll give it a try

[charred snow]

Craving the vibes of that one as well.

But it seems very early in production. We probably won't see a release in the next 2-3 years.

[shy flame]

Hytale x Marathon when?

[stone grail]

High guard soon

[spice bough]

Genshin impact x Marathon could be insane

[thorny wigeon]

im not gonna be them ppl who judge b4 they play a game so im genuinely gonna give the game a try and form an opinion even though i have very low hopes

[vestal cedar]

highguard in basically a week and idk what the game is

is it OW3

im sure the gunplay and movement will be goated becuase of the apex and titanfall background. but will horseys be cringe? it looks fun without abilities..

[stone grail]

The abilities are the only things that makes it somewhat interesting

[ocean badge]

greetings

[twilit sparrow]

BAHAHHAHAHHAHHA GATCHA ANIME TRASH HELL NO THANKS

[charred snow]

ZZZ would make more sense.

I might actually buy a skin for the first time if they got Jane Doe in this 😂

[twilit sparrow]

if they do crossover all ill buy is
a negative review

[charred snow]

It's far from the worst game to have those.

[twilit sparrow]

any crossover = creatively bankrupt

[short pecan]

crossovers would be good as long as it doesnt affect gameplay

maybe just cosmetic items

[grave smelt]

no.

[spice bough]

not even cyberpunk 2077 sticker on my gun?

[stoic pivot]

destiny 2 lightsaber

[grave smelt]

the main source of harm from crossovers is stylistical mess

[scenic meteor]

It’s crazy the dynamic people have on crossovers some don’t give a hoot some would love it and others drop a game over it

[grave smelt]

genshin characters will look completely out of place in marathon

[short pecan]

and why would they be in the game..

[stoic pivot]

who tf even brought this up btw

[short pecan]

genshin is not futuristic

[grave smelt]

idk who, but there was genshin x marathon suggestion

[stoic pivot]

in that case we need a lot of hammers

[short pecan]

ban* hammers

[stoic pivot]

like a lot of hammers

[tacit kiln]

how big is the cryo archive map?

[grave smelt]

it doesnt matter if it is genshin or not. how do you explain ZZZ or Cyberpunk characters with whatever background they have popping up in Marathon

[stoic pivot]

they're keeping cryo's details mostly a secret so we don't know

[grave smelt]

Crossovers are dumb unless source projects are in the same universe

[short pecan]

its a crossover.. not a storyline change shift

[spice bough]

what about the witcher x marathon

[stoic pivot]

this conversation makes me cry

[charred snow]

Art the Clown skin for Assassin 👀 👀 👀

[spice bough]

geralt could be accidentally transported into marathon like in monster hunter world

[grave smelt]

what is a crossover then?

[short pecan]

remember the talk about the cyberpunk collab ideas

[grave smelt]

CoD has a bunch of crossovers too

[stiff verge]

[stoic pivot]

no, I wasn't there for that

[stiff verge]

Burger

[short pecan]

like imagine there was david's jacket for one of the runners

[vestal cedar]

what do we get today chadders? more implants?

[grave smelt]

not storyline shifts. Yet that's what killed the game for its core fans

[charred snow]

😮

[stoic pivot]

the same CoD who's been using AI art and has gone so far off the story tracks that their latest game featured a man stuck inside a giant flesh monster of mass destruction

[grave smelt]

nothing wrong with AI art. Yes, the same CoD, that's the point I am making. It started spiraling down with all of those initial crossovers that turned it into a circus. Long before the newest installment

[stoic pivot]

there is a lot wrong with AI art

[short pecan]

ai art is destroying company's and jobs btw

[charred snow]

Hmmm, plenty of wrong with studio ghibli ripoff banners if you ask me 😅

[spice bough]

everything is wrong with ai art actually

[stoic pivot]

also their crossovers were never story things I'm just pointing out how stupid they've gotten with their story they clearly do not care

[grave smelt]

nope, it doesn't

a lot wrong with actually stealing someone else's art though

[grave smelt]

no

[scenic meteor]

There’s no way this a real take rinka

[stoic pivot]

genuinely unreal

[grave smelt]

imagine choosing to ignore what the team of this game done and making a stance against AI art. Wonder what would've happened if this game used AI art instead

[spice bough]

say sike rn

[short pecan]

please go to another chat

[spice bough]

then i would be a DOA game for sure no one gives a shit anymore

[scenic meteor]

Stealing art and using ai art is both bad tho

[grave smelt]

what did you do when the stolen art situation started unraveling?

[static bane]

nobody cares if AI art is used, as long as it's done properly and it looks good and consistent. but most use of AI art looks bad/trash and pooorly thought out

[grave smelt]

this I agree with

[stoic pivot]

one guy plagiarizing a few logos 1:1 =/= using AI art which plagiarizes everything and that's only the tip of the iceberg of why it's bad

[short pecan]

obviously i didnt do anything because im not a part of it. Plus, bungie compensated for it and paid the artist

[charred snow]

No, it's both bad but at least one of those things has been settled

[stoic pivot]

I said they're not equal I didn't say it wasn't wrong

[grave smelt]

but you are part of "it" in relation to AI situation apparently? Or what

Did you boycott the game when it was revealed that the art was stolen?

[kindred vigil]

@scenic meteor can u give me a tldr

[short pecan]

you said stolen art which is what bungie did. bungie did not use ai for their art. please clarify where the ai situation was in that sentence

[inland hatch]

good morning marathoners

[stoic pivot]

@grave smelt likes AI art so long as it doesn't use other people's art

[scenic meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/alpha-wolf-you-dare-ping-me-ping-me-you-dare-ping-me-the-alpha-wolf-the-alpha-wolf-gif-18213744429519338876

[stoic pivot]

more or less

[kindred vigil]

But ai art uses....other ppl art as references for its generation no...?

[stoic pivot]

yeah that's the thing

[scenic meteor]

Yes it does

[grave smelt]

I am asking you specifically about the situation with the stolen art. How did you react when it happened? Did you just look away?

[kindred vigil]

ur NOT that guy 😭✌️

[grave smelt]

It doesn't use it as a reference. It learns using it... same as everyone else

[short pecan]

no, i didnt cry over it. its bad that they stole it but they made it up and payed the original artist

[grave smelt]

must be why more and more companies use AI. Because it destroys them

[grave smelt]

but stealing is bad

[stoic pivot]

no it's because they invested too much into it so they need to shove it down people's throats cough microslop cough

[short pecan]

they paid too much for it and now they want their money back from us

[grave smelt]

well, that's not "AI destroying them". That's them mismanaging it and using it in the worst possible way due to their own incompetence and/or ignorance, wouldn't you think?

[stoic pivot]

They didn’t mismanage it, it just sucks and people don’t want it

[short pecan]

generative ai isnt good and we shouldnt even be using it.

just use ai that helps with jobs, like radiology and game development

[grave smelt]

if you are claiming that every AI-generated image is bad, you are just plain wrong from the get go

[stoic pivot]

Unreal take

[kindred vigil]

unreal tournament 👀

[grave smelt]

I am talking about an image as an image, not as a vessel for ideological nonsense that you see behind it

[spice bough]

the only purpose of ai art is to let corporates rakes in more money literally it doesnt have any benefits to anyone else no one need ai art lmao ppl are fine without it

[dry agate]

So will Marathon's anti-cheat work with Linux ?

[short pecan]

so, basically, ai is good because it can help you with your homework?

let ai do it for you, you dont need to learn anything

[stoic pivot]

“Ideological nonsense” and its people losing their jobs so that gigacorp can save money on hiring people to do much higher quality work and destroy the environment

[grave smelt]

you just made up this entirely disconnected conclusion based on absolutely nothing but your dislike towards my point

[short pecan]

pretty much sums up what you're saying

[grave smelt]

its really not, considering I am talking about image generation, not LLMs

[grave smelt]

again. Right now I am talking about an actual image, a set of pixels.

Are you actually incapable of detaching from your political views just for one message to speak about images purely from the visual standpoint?

[short pecan]

alright, if you have an art project, would you ask ai to make the image for you and you're done?

[grave smelt]

no, because it is my art that has to be graded

[kindred vigil]

@scenic meteor hop on valhein

[scenic meteor]

U don’t have valheim

[twilit sparrow]

L take
bet you wanna see Rambo appear in game of thrones dont you

People eat slop like its candy you all need to stop

[short pecan]

yo these people cannot be real 😭

[grave smelt]

whats wrong with my answer?

alright, if you have an art project, would you ask ai to make the image for you and you're done?

no, because it is my art that has to be graded

[spice bough]

imagine darth vader as raid boss 🤤🤤

u dont know ball man

[kindred vigil]

U don't either 😭

[short pecan]

but i can use ai to create the image, and i can still get it graded

[stoic pivot]

neeyth and scooby just casually ignoring the rest of the conversation lol

[scenic meteor]

True but I have this thing called income 🙄

[short pecan]

this conversation is making my brain shrink im actually done speaking with this guy

[kindred vigil]

That's fold Scooby

[grave smelt]

you can ask other person to draw it for you. Should we just hate people now?

what kind of argument is that.

There are dozens of different ways to cheat and they existed as long as tests did

[short pecan]

there's a ai supportive group that you can talk too

we're done

[grave smelt]

so you are out of arguments

[scenic meteor]

I don’t fold I bluff

[stoic pivot]

no we just don't want to talk to someone who likes generative AI so we're leaving

[grave smelt]

cheating is bad, that's why AI, other people, post-it notes and calculators are bad too. Got it

[grave smelt]

typical politics

ideologically charged people incapable of expressing their views with logic

[spice bough]

"politics" is when i refuse to consume slop 😢

[short pecan]

we stopped talking you can go now

bye bye

[stoic pivot]

don't even reply just pretend he doesn't exist

[short pecan]

thats exactly my thoughts

[grave smelt]

I have pronouns in my bio

tells a lot about you

[stoic pivot]

this was because of the ms. claus bit we did yesterday I know you didn't have it before then

[grave smelt]

I had them from the very moment I joined the server

its my default pronouns that appear as soon as I join any server

[short pecan]

making fun of someone about their pronouns, real supportive aren't you

[grave smelt]

nickname was different, yes

[grave smelt]

bro, I am the one who got misgendered

and now you are making fun of me for that just because you don't like my views on an unrelated topic

[scenic meteor]

Ur main profile does have he/him tho? Maybe you forgot to change it

[grave smelt]

so spiteful

[grave smelt]

no way

[short pecan]

wow, stop making fun of us bevause of your opinions

you need to calm down

[scenic meteor]

Ur server profile is she/her but ur actual profile is he/him

[grave smelt]

I am not making fun of you. You are misgendering me on purpose and try to convince me about my gender

You are offending me instead of just using pronouns that I prefer

[short pecan]

your real prounouns was he/him and THEN you just changed to she/her

[grave smelt]

I didn't change them. I prefer she/her

[short pecan]

but it was he/him

[grave smelt]

you keep offending me because of my gender

[kindred vigil]

🪿

[grave smelt]

this is literally our first interaction. I have been here more than one day

[short pecan]

please stop harrasing me

[grave smelt]

I am the one who is getting harassed by discussing my pronouns

[short pecan]

stop harrasing me

[charred snow]

Stop ragebaiting, dude.

[short pecan]

you're making me uncomfortable

[grave smelt]

so now you are just mocking me

[short pecan]

i said please stop

[grave smelt]

nice community

[spice bough]

what are you on?

[charred snow]

Look, Claus, forget that. What is you consider to be different between LLM and other GenAI?

[kindred vigil]

so about this marathon video game by Bungie

[short pecan]

pretty peak if you ask me

[stone condor]

Bring back big blue hands

[stoic pivot]

Seems cool

[grave smelt]

They are not that different at all. What I disagreed with is that that person made it look like my view on the topic of AI art somehow concludes in justification of cheating using any kind of AI for any kind of activity

It was a completely detached statement that had no logical connection to whatever I've said

[stone condor]

Kinda crazy how just like 5 years ago I had to write everything myself and now you just.. don’t have to

[scenic meteor]

Not gonna be better than highguard but who knows

[stoic pivot]

I still do

[charred snow]

Indeed they are not. I was about to tell you that both need considerable ammounts of data and said data has been repeatedly shown to have been harvested without the consent of their holders. It's wrong.

[stone condor]

I don’t use AI don’t plan on it but like dang

[mystic aurora]

peakguard‼️

[stoic pivot]

I can't even tell if highguard is a meme anymore lmao

[short pecan]

you know , i swear this chat is about marathon and not about ai

[stone condor]

I’m gonna be there day one

[charred snow]

And it is also wrong what happened with that artist that got their art stolen for this project. But at least that has been settled.

[earnest reef]

[kindred vigil]

We like to talk about anything here until we don't

[stoic pivot]

random topic go

[stone condor]

[spice bough]

if they add jedis and lightsabers into the game it'll be alot better

[stoic pivot]

perhaps

[stone condor]

Maybe in 8 years sure

[light girder]

Somebody mute this guy.

[stoic pivot]

possibly

[twilit sparrow]

nah thanks, sounds trash (star wars is trash btw)

[short pecan]

guys guys hear me out.. destiny in marathon

[stoic pivot]

modern star wars

[twilit sparrow]

no crossovers, respect the IP

[inland hatch]

👅

[grave smelt]

I agree that asking for consent to train AI is a step in the right direction. If artists ask for such thing, then it should be provided.

But there were no such legal basis beforehand plus I can't call training AI on someone else's data an outright theft. You can't learn thousands and thousands of artstyle, take an average out of it and be pronounced a copycat

[stone condor]

Aw hell nah

[dry agate]

So Linux support for marathon?

[inland hatch]

still no arachne role. im sad. im depressed. i am alone.

[mystic aurora]

i feel like you can actually lol

[grave smelt]

why

[short lotus]

in the end they never fixed the art style, just kept the plastic look as you can see on their twitter. Imagine this you make a extraction shooter but the art style is toy story 😂

[stone condor]

“Its not theft because umm no legal basis so its ok”

[scenic meteor]

What if they add a Destiny crossover but it’s just your player made character on Lotus and Void (warlocks don’t exist)

[stoic pivot]

art in Marathon is dope bro, don't be allergic to color

[short pecan]

that fishing pole is actually smart bro

[stone condor]

Morally doe?

[charred snow]

You cannot prove from a model what dataset it was trained on, you're right. But the act itself is wrong and shouldn't happen in the first place.

[short pecan]

we keep catching the sensitive ones today dont we Akori? 🎣

[short lotus]

its not the colour its the material bro its all glossy and plastic

[kindred vigil]

well it's definitely a Friday ✌️😂

[stoic pivot]

you can prove what it wasn't trained on actually, you ever seen that thing about how AI can't produce a full glass of wine?

[stone condor]

Hmm maybe because everything is 3d printed hmm

[stoic pivot]

what's the problem with that bro I love me some gloss

[grave smelt]

Do you actually think that people understood that it was theft when they started training their first AI models like ten years ago if not earlier?

[stone condor]

Yes

[short lotus]

heck if they could go into the game engine and liturally tweek some of the material settings for a more grittier solid feel it would change the entire game

[tropic creek]

Whaddup runnerzzzz

[stoic pivot]

they didn't even know it was being stolen but they certainly would have called it theft

[stone condor]

Ignorance doesn’t excuse anything

[charred snow]

If I use someone's work without permission, it usually tends to be theft.

[stoic pivot]

we're arguing about AI art again 😭

[tropic creek]

Don't mention AI and art in one sentence

[stone condor]

What do you think they did after the alpha bro

[stoic pivot]

hell no bro I don't wanna see another gritty game THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM NOW IT'S BORING

[grave smelt]

I don't think you understood my question.

I am asking "people understood that it was theft".

You can't say "Yes, they understood that, because they were ignorant (didn't understand that)"

[stone condor]

Whatever claus idrc

[red karma]

Unlikely. Their other game destiny doesn’t work on Linux either because of the way they have their anti cheat setup. I imagine marathon will be the same sadly.

[void badge]

I mean there were several controversies in the history of computer vision of people's photographs being used without their permission in training and then getting upset about it (I remember one picture of a woman used as an academic standard). So there was certainly precedent for people not wanting their images in datasets

[short lotus]

it worked in destiny 2

[stone condor]

Enjoy your AI by yourself

[kindred vigil]

Artificial intelligence art

[tropic creek]

NSKSNS NEEYTH

[charred snow]

That's the Lena situation. It's not exactly that.

[stoic pivot]

are you gonna call Neomuna or the Pale Heart "gritty" bro there's color and vibrance ALL OVER THE PLACE

[short lotus]

you must ask why there are so many of them and so little lego plastic adventure looking shooter games

[stoic pivot]

because CoD and similar games were hits so everyone copied them

or their general vibe anyways

[grave smelt]

if you don't really care to think it through and understand that you don't really have a solid logical chain to support your emotions, then you shouldn't really try to argue with someone, because it is just isn't productive and ends up with two people screeching at each other

[short lotus]

and look what happened when cod moved away from that rn current cod big failure

[stone condor]

Yes they knew training AI on everything o line was wrong, and even if they didn’t, ignorance isn’t a valid defense there you go

[short lotus]

people like dark vibes not bright disney vibes

[scenic meteor]

@kindred vigil when does that new gacha slop drop

[short pecan]

did you know there's a subway surfers 2?

[kindred vigil]

There's a lot of those be specific also why are you @ing me for this WTF 😭

[grave smelt]

Yes, I am not arguing that. I am talking about when it was only starting. For some time now if you train your model on someone else's photos/art/whatever you for sure know that you are stealing. I am not trying to find excuse for such people

[tropic creek]

New gacha slop ?

[stoic pivot]

I think that has less to do with it being "gritty" and more to do with it using AI art and its stories featuring giant flesh monsters and no longer being a milsim which was it's original premise so fans of the IP felt betrayed

[scenic meteor]

Ur the gacha guy when does the ark knights one drop

[stoic pivot]

everyone knows that you're the gacha expert of the server

[grave smelt]

you can't be ignorant of something that no one before you even had a chance to think of...

[kindred vigil]

22nd for all devices (I had it mixed up)

[scenic meteor]

Bruh

[stone condor]

Yo claus drop it bro you’re obviously way more invested into this AI stuff than anyone else

[scenic meteor]

Android has an early release wtf this gacha bs

[kindred vigil]

January 22nd

[stoic pivot]

yeah I blocked claus already I don't want to continue this

[deep lantern]

cod is many things, milsim is not one of them

[stone condor]

Just rub yo belly

[kindred vigil]

I had it mixed up w something else it's a simultaneous release in Jan 22nd 🥀

[stoic pivot]

it used to be

[grave smelt]

am I? I am not the one who went ballistic, ganged up on someone and start mocking them

[short lotus]

AI makes up 80% of code being made rn and in game dev id even say 90%

[void badge]

ahhh okay I misunderstood the intent of your argument. I'd agree with that sentiment for the most part. Although as someone in a scientific field, ethical rigor is expected of researchers. So the ethical attainment of research materials like data is expected practice. In private sectors though???? yeah nobody gives a shit.

[deep lantern]

even when it did focus on military stuff it wasn’t on the level of arma or similar games

[stoic pivot]

in vibe anyways

[tropic creek]

A joke is the perfect explanation for it right now

[kindred vigil]

And high guard is jan 27 RAGGHHH🪿🪿🪿🪿

[spice bough]

omg gen AI could not generate shit without leeching from thousands of art from artists before like it literally exists on theft

[scenic meteor]

Holy rare Oculus sighting 🔥🔥🔥

[void badge]

hi scoobs!

[stoic pivot]

where did oculus even come from

[kindred vigil]

hi oculus

[void badge]

Hi neef!
I've been busy cause lots of friends out of state are here :D

[short lotus]

I wouldnt talk about art thieves and stealing art here pfft Bungie is not ai yet are known for

[void badge]

The ground presumably

[stone condor]

Dangg the boot cmon now

[stoic pivot]

sounds like illuminati talk

[scenic meteor]

Sounds like the good kind of busy then

[tropic creek]

Zombie ?

[stone grail]

zombies in chat?

[void badge]

absolutely. I finally got to play the dark souls board game with a full group of people!

[tropic creek]

Zombie cheeeeck

[deep lantern]

cod is the game equivalent of the simpsons, it’s gone on for so long that it’s no longer good in no small part due to the corporational overlords which control the ip

[short lotus]

Most art is stolen or reused in all industries for example Disney stealing lionking, finding memo and many more

[stoic pivot]

papers please but in discord

[scenic meteor]

There’s a dark souls boardgame? That actually sounds amazing

[deep lantern]

inspiration and whitewashed plagiarism as brought to you by Sora AI are not the same thing

[tropic creek]

That's sadly true
I used to enjoy COD but ooof it's just no fun nowadays
Most games turned to shit which is heartbreaking

[tropic creek]

I'd just get rid of everyone

[void badge]

It is! I got it back after the kickstarter ended and I love it a lot!

[stoic pivot]

then you'd lose and die

[void badge]

There's also an elden ring and bloodborne one apparently!

[stone condor]

Such is life

[deep lantern]

i think it’s just turning away from wars caused CoD to lose the spine it had in the 2000s and early 2010s

[tropic creek]

I know someone that knows someone that knows someone I'll be fine I guess

[short lotus]

point being copyright is a made up concept that doesn't work in reality all artist learn from other peoples art same with AI

[stoic pivot]

someone that knows someone that knows someone doesn't know you so no you won't

[deep lantern]

AI is neither an art form or a proper tool for artistic expression, hope that helps!

[tropic creek]

I mean hey they have fallout now
Everything should be fine
Right ? ... RIGHT ???

[stone grail]

"Copyright is a made up concept" is an insane statement

[short lotus]

artistic expression: look guys a banana on the wall its worth millions pfft

[kindred vigil]

this Might last until 3pm

[scenic meteor]

Did you play as Havel or Siegmeyer surely they are playable characters

[grave smelt]

that was my whole point about theft. It is the same argument as war crimes. People were doing various kinds of crazy to each other over the course of humanity's history. Every single war crime out there was named a war crime post factum. When people were committing for the first time some new kind of a war crime they didn't think

"hell yeah, I am going to break a law now and I don't feel about it"

It was just a new way of doing harm to their enemy. They couldn't be declared ignorant either. Because there was no way for them to know that it will become a war crime further in history.

Yes, phosphorus, dum-dum bullets and everything else is a war crime. But people who first used them had no idea that it was a war crime. Because it wasn't

Whole cities were burned and leveled with bombings. And it was ok. Now it is not. But back then it was just another military mission. Nobody did that with an intention to break the law or do something morally wrong. Because it wasn't considered immoral

[deep lantern]

they have…
checks notes
Beavis & Butthead, Warhammer 40,000, Nicki Minaj

[tropic creek]

Sheeeet you might be right

[stoic pivot]

human impressions lead to ideas leading to art, AI takes ideas and reuses them, not the same

[mystic aurora]

Ai learning/using stuff isnt the same as an actual person though. Theres no human input, no interpretation of material, no time put in to actually understand what makes the art it stole special. even if we agree on copyright being made up its just not moral for companies to use generative ai to remove the humanity of art inn the name of making slightly more money and a much worse product imo

[deep lantern]

ah yes, because your AI slop of a woman telling you she loves you to make up for your abysmal skills in human connection is leagues better

[tropic creek]

Everything except war related stuff
Don't forget the animals !!!

[stone grail]

Fallout was doomed before it being put in COD idk why it's even being mentionned

[deep lantern]

we’re just having a sidechat about the Fall of Duty

[stoic pivot]

real and true

[kindred vigil]

there's like 2-3 convos happening

[tropic creek]

Fall of duty is a good one LOL

[stone grail]

People have been saying COD has fallen since like MW3 OG

[kindred vigil]

ts a choose ur adventure ✌️😭

[stoic pivot]

we should merge them into one conversation and see what happens

[scenic meteor]

Are we comparing war crimes to ai plagiarism I’m lost

[tropic creek]

Nuclear explosion

[spice bough]

can we open another convo about mpreg?

[short lotus]

😂 digital art is not art theres no soul in it no human can make digital art that isnt slop

[deep lantern]

arguing with the AI bro while lamenting the death of creativity and authenticity in the Call of Duty series, both are all linked via capitalism

[stone grail]

What

[stone condor]

Tbf doesn’t matter anymore the AIs already got everything we’ve ever done in their bellies

[void badge]

havel and siegmeyer are playable characters, but only in one of the expansions! The base game only has the starting classes from ds3. However, I did get the character expansion last night so when it arrives in the mail I'll let you know how those gamers play!

[kindred vigil]

we're all in a circle of ragebait 🕊️

[tropic creek]

Did y'all know that A$AP dropped another album ?!?!?!?

[deep lantern]

you’re advocating for AI art, stfu about what is and isn’t real art

[short lotus]

people just mad cause AI exist lol they moved on from saying digital art is souless to now AI art is souless

[stone grail]

Don't tell this guy what the alternative to capitalism tried to do to Art to a point they wanted to make it Illegal

[stoic pivot]

including all of the bad art

[void badge]

mpreg is amazing art and inspired me to be more weird as a teen

[grave smelt]

war crimes situation is exactly the same situation where people can't understand what hindsight is same as with AI art

[tropic creek]

Circlebait ?

[kindred vigil]

that doesn't sound better

[copper gyro]

Thief is a mid runner

[signal nexus]

Well guys, I think I've decided on NuCaloric XD

[stone condor]

When do we get internet 2.0

[grave smelt]

people had no idea what they were doing yet somehow they are ignorant for not understanding an idea that appeared after they've already done it

[tropic creek]

Yesterday

[stone grail]

Once the DataKrash happens

[stone condor]

Claus do you have like a personal investment into AI

[grave smelt]

no, I don't

[kindred vigil]

Scooby do u wanna grift

[signal nexus]

Hey, how did you get that Marathon frame? 0.0

[olive oracle]

Lets move on from this discussion, ya?

[stoic pivot]

hello sir

[stone condor]

What the heck are ninjas

[kindred vigil]

mods

[grave smelt]

are we now at the point where we make dumb assumptions and other attempts to devalue someone else's point because we can't do it by using logic?

[stoic pivot]

isn't there just an Admin role though

[stone grail]

Very old discord quest that isn't available anymore

[scenic meteor]

This why ur my 2nd fav mod Dante

[kindred vigil]

That's the server /dev creators I think ninjas are just regular mods who volunteered

[olive oracle]

you know... I'll take top 3....

[signal nexus]

F ;-;

[olive oracle]

😆

[stoic pivot]

clearly we have not moved on from the conversation

[kindred vigil]

I mean mods can give 5 minutes mutes 🪿

[stone grail]

Block the guy instead of calling him names

[copper gyro]

[stoic pivot]

yeah I blocked them a while ago

[kindred vigil]

w corner timeout

[stone condor]

Dante bring back big blue hands

[stoic pivot]

what

[short lotus]

meh hope for good match making times on launch and no crashing

[olive oracle]

wut

[deep lantern]

i could, i just also feel like giving dramatic speeches about my point of view

[kindred vigil]

it might be a DMC ref 🧠

[stone condor]

Triage needs his hands back bro

[scenic meteor]

Definitely a dmc ref

[stoic pivot]

possibly

[kindred vigil]

nvm he said triage wthelly are u talking about

[short lotus]

join the club

[lean parrot]

the servers def gonna explode on launch

[pseudo stratus]

What is a DMC refrence?

[stoic pivot]

triage = nero

[stone condor]

Fine aux u happy

[short lotus]

oh no dont be in such copium bro

[stone grail]

The storm that is approaching

[lean parrot]

huh?

[short lotus]

Discord is niche platform

[kindred vigil]

I think they mean game servers man

[stoic pivot]

I just realized I've forgotten the bury the light lyrics 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[copper gyro]

Which will have a bigger lifespan this game or arc raiders

[short lotus]

💀 oh

[stone condor]

Both

[pseudo stratus]

On a side note anyone have any fan Ideas for some new Runners?

[spice bough]

arc raiders

[copper gyro]

I play arc rn

[lean parrot]

Arc and Marathon 2 diff kinda games

personally ill be on both

[stone condor]

No they must be pitted against eachother at all times

[short lotus]

yeah servers def gonna explode hopefully in a good way and not a Networking company has blocked all traffic to servers for 8 hours due to large amount of sus traffic

the classic anti ddos system sees all the launch day traffic as a ddos attack pfft

[kindred vigil]

It's gonna explode because Amazon forgot to pay the aws server bill

[copper gyro]

They need a ark that requires the whole lobbies participation

[stoic pivot]

I had an idea for a new destroyer which I built entirely off the idea for a passive: "Give grenades increased splash radius and damage in exchange for building up heat"

[copper gyro]

Matriarch is my favorite arc

[spice bough]

yes add a runner thats literally a jedi and their weapon is a lightsaber and a blaster

[fleet thicket]

GUYS JUST ADD STAR WARS CAN WE MAKE THIS GAME STARWARS

[stoic pivot]

noo

[copper gyro]

I really want them to make a separate identity from apex legends because it feels like they took some inspiration from that

[fleet thicket]

More like soy wars holy fck

[stone condor]

Runner is season 2 in Jonesy confirmed

[pseudo stratus]

I had the idea for a Hacker Runner that can activate doors and shutters for a distance and it's Prime ability lets it's temporarily turn a group of UESC over to it's side.

[remote coral]

Marathon ... 2? Durandal?

[stoic pivot]

I feel like that might be omega broken lmao

[remote coral]

Oh, nevermind.

[spice bough]

fortnite x smash bros x minecraft x marathon joint collab

[stone condor]

Season 3 runner is a roblox bacon

[spice bough]

they should add tycoons too

[remote coral]

That such a beautiful mind will someday wither is a tragedy for all mankind.

[obsidian plover]

bleh

[stone condor]

We the real AI smushing everything together

[stoic pivot]

but it's got soul

mostly in that these ideas are so stupid they loop back around into being funny

[obsidian plover]

[pseudo stratus]

I guess so, I was thinking it would only work on low level UESC, and if you get the gold mod that lets it go one level higher.

[subtle storm]

Are there any available play tests currently?

[stone condor]

Hack a boss UESC and just drive him straight into nearest team

[stoic pivot]

there will be an open access weekend before launch in March. Date for that unknown

[subtle storm]

How do I sing up for it?

[inland hatch]

its open access, anyone can join - no sign up needed

[stone condor]

Sit and wait

[stoic pivot]

it's open access my guy

[tropic creek]

I'm baahaaaack

[stoic pivot]

hi null wassup

[tropic creek]

Whadduuuup
Hope y'all are having a good day

[stoic pivot]

Have fun guys..

[stoic pivot]

what

[tropic creek]

We'll still be here for you

[stone condor]

[tropic creek]

[stone condor]

Where’s our screaming medbot emoji

[tropic creek]

[earnest reef]

[stone grail]

[maiden token]

new emotes are cool bungie but we still dont have arachne role

[tropic creek]

[slow verge]

question, do you lose weapons/armors that you bring into the run or just the gear you loot

[distant lotus]

You lose everything when you die

[inland hatch]

good point, Tetra is Zelda.

[slow verge]

@distant lotus ok i just wondered because google says the opposite... you keep gear/guns but lose the stuff you pick up

[stable lark]

Everything on your body is gone and very likely in someone else's inventory when you die.

[inland hatch]

GOOP GOOP GOOP!

[slow verge]

whats the point to upgrade and tweak youre gear for that spesific character if you lose it

materiales as i understand is just for buying upgrades on the black market

[chrome arch]

💩 game

[spare shore]

@formal temple type in here real quick

[formal temple]

sup

[spare shore]

ITS REAL

[distant lotus]

I look at it as a rouge like. It's kinda the same vibe. You growth stronger with time, but if you make mistakes and die, you pay for them by loosing your stuff

[distant lotus]

How tf you have arachne role

[stone grail]

I SEE SPY

[tropic creek]

[stable lark]

1. To be stronger so you are less likely to die and lose the gear
2. To take on harder challenges
3. Progress with quests etc lets you get better gear from the "black market" so you have something to fall back on

[eager escarp]

How did u get Arachne role?

[slow verge]

but by todays standards (arc raiders) most pvp players will end up with playing just rook for the risk free part then

[warped sigil]

[stable lark]

Thats like saying the ideal chess army is all pawns because they carry the lowest risk

[obsidian plover]

I mean that’s how it goes so

[stable lark]

A lot of people will want to move diagonally or be able to jump over other pieces

[obsidian plover]

Rook is a totally different game dynamic though. It’s more than just “risk free.”

[slow verge]

i dunno how the ques goes if its gonna be solos,duos,quads... bt say playing solo without a solo que for example would just be the same as dropping youre gear on the ground

[stoic pivot]

they can't do contracts on Rook so they're gonna fall way behind so whatever. Plus rook has no abilities that are good in pvp I think, he just got things for pve

[stable lark]

No daily marathon tweet? I don't think I'm gonna make it.

[obsidian plover]

It works fine for pvp but additional skill is required

[slow verge]

and pvp is all gains no risk (with rook)

[obsidian plover]

No

[distant lotus]

Rook and arcs free loadout is not the same. People on regular shells have way better chances then rook. Plus main point of rook is to gather guns, and thats it. You cant do missions and wont progress through story

[obsidian plover]

The risk is time sink. You could make 9 runs and fail. With varying degrees of durations. One run could net a lot of nice stuff though.

[lilac matrix]

/mida @lilac matrix

[slow verge]

no? you loot the weapons in the run, and if you die you dont loose youre upgraded shit... and if you kill you get their upgraded shlt, how is that a risk for the rook player?

[obsidian plover]

Again, it’s time.

[stable lark]

The risk is Rooks dont have "upgraded shit" so it is extremely hard for them to take on a normal runner team with "ugraded shit" and win

[spare shore]

muahahahahaha

[obsidian plover]

Yeah you really have to have skill to pull it off

[distant lotus]

Its not like arc, for rook to kill a guy with good shields and kit is harder by miles

[slow verge]

yea you use alot of time upgrading your character to risk it dying to som cheater or bigger squad or 3rd party/campers

[stable lark]

The risk is fun, yeah

[mystic aurora]

Rook is also 1v3 right?

Only in squad lobbys

[slow verge]

i dunno how the ques are gonna be?

[distant lotus]

That's the point, you go in with hard earned stuff, and you don't play it like cod. You are way more careful, and you have to think ahead. That's where you get the adrenalin from this type of games

[stable lark]

Think of it this way, getting the gear is not going to take near as much effort as Destiny because they expect you to lose it constantly and everyones inventories reset every 3 months anyways

[inland hatch]

HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT ROLE

[proven kernel]

Muhahaha

[distant lotus]

I've been abducted

[inland hatch]

PLS GIB ARACHNE

[abstract laurel]

I kidnapped him

[stable lark]

Part of the fun is having to fight to keep your cool stuff and having to find new cool stuff and change up your playstyle when you die, instead of just grinding for a "meta build" and turning your brain off until the next update.

[inland hatch]

TAKE ME NOW

[olive oracle]

😕

[spark pasture]

Prove yourself

[tropic creek]

KIDNAP ME

[distant lotus]

First rule of arachne, we don't talk about it

[sweet condor]

Free loot bags 😊

[inland hatch]

I LOVE KILLING I LOVE PVP I WANT EVERYTHING DEAD

[slow verge]

well i would be more happy to spend time actually not beeing to afraid to use my upgrade gear if i didnt lose every thing on death

[distant lotus]

Then maybe it's just not that type of a game for you, it's absolutely fine

[slow verge]

not saying you can upgrade to be a god, but atleast have some goal to get a spesefic set or build... like in division for example with dark zone

[inland hatch]

i have a lot of friends who like arc but have so much gear-anxiety that they dont play anymore lol

[frail lichen]

I’m new to this game being on my radar. But as an Arc player and a longtime Destiny/Halo fan I’m interested in this game very much now

[slow verge]

like put it this way, you do 9 runs to get the materials for the upgrade you want on the black market just to get gate camped the next run

[distant lotus]

My friend is literally sitting on a pile of golden guns, and never uses them

While running with an anvil and a shotgun

[slow verge]

exactly

[iron blaze]

how do we get the arachne role?

[distant lotus]

Pray

[frail lichen]

I have 0 gear anxiety anymore in Arc, I’ve freed myself

[inland hatch]

🙏 please arachne god let me join you 🙏

[maiden token]

I prayed first and suddenly everyone but me has arachne role

[proven kernel]

[vestal cedar]

too much talk about arache and not enough talk about no tweet

[distant lotus]

True

[iron blaze]

idgaf about that, give me the role 😭

[abstract laurel]

[warm granite]

[tropic creek]

[inland hatch]

[torpid badger]

[crude bronze]

[kindred vigil]

[summer raven]

What is going on with the role, why are ppl begging?

[maiden token]

[inland hatch]

I'm on my knees in a walmart rn seething for arachne role.

[stone grail]

[empty perch]

secret secret secret

[pearl lichen]

Join Arachne how?

[stoic pivot]

nucaloric chat is cat chat though

[empty perch]

[stiff verge]

Yes and I love the cat spamm in that channel

[maiden token]

arachne are leaking into sekgen chat too it's so over

[stoic pivot]

it's ok you can tell me

[empty perch]

[stiff verge]

Wait Arachne being able to infiltrate the other Comms channel would be the ultimate loreplay

Having them literally I filtrate and take over the server as basically interlopers

[orchid pond]

and then the server gets deleted on the game release day

[stoic pivot]

I just realized Arachne is for server boosters lmao

[glass spade]

[kindred vigil]

DINALLYY

[stoic pivot]

wait you're not server boosting how did YOU get it 😭

[spark pasture]

[stoic pivot]

never mind I misread something lmao

[feral island]

Hi! Sorry to bother you guys, but I wanted to ask if there’s any information yet on when pre-orders will open for the game. I work in a videogame store and we still don’t know anything about it. I imagine it’ll be soon since the game releases in March, but I just wanted to check if someone knows anything
Thanks 😊

[warm granite]

Game release is March, no preorder info yet

[feral island]

Should be soon i think.. thanks

[maiden token]

damn Neeyth you defected from Traxus just like that huh?

[kindred vigil]

Interesting thing Bungie dropped this Friday

[distant lotus]

Fair point, but you will succumb, in time

[summer raven]

😭

[worn knoll]

Yesterday's shell losses rounded out to a solid 'n' sturdy thirty! Ten outta Outpost - thanks to the unabated drone assaults! One captain down, so I guess you are all sca-rewed. 'Cause the UESC will not let that go. Got another blackout in Cryo Archive. Compilers are at it again, pokin' holes in the power grid! While over in Perimeter, Sekiguchi's scrapin' assassin victims off the plastic. And in Dire Marsh... Well... Dire Marsh is still Dire Marsh.

This has been your girl blitz. Join me in another day in our Planet of DREEEAMS!

[scenic meteor]

i must leave the discord to become runnerless again

[stoic pivot]

I HAVE INDOCTRINATED YOU

[stoic drift]

Thank you brothers and sisters

[worn knoll]

[kindred vigil]

Yeah you have to be invited by someone in the role which won't be hard since it's getting passed like candy

[empty mantle]

Just don't start a Slaughter on TRAXUS property lol

[worn knoll]

...who had it first?

[kindred vigil]

good question

[warm granite]

I think it’s interesting / fun they dropped it this way, makes me wonder if we’re hearing more news very soon since they’re starting to be more active with the community again

[stoic drift]

Spread it like the plague

[spare shore]

A couple of pvp players

[kind vector]

Looks cool

[kind vector]

hell nah

[warm granite]

I wonder if the way it’s rolling out implies anything about arachne lore in the game. Or if this is just for fun

[kindred vigil]

It's most likely for fun /theming

[fallen plank]

Probably for fun

[kindred vigil]

It's a death cult so naturally you get invited by people in cult 🧠...

[inland hatch]

HOW IDD YOU GET THIS

[kind vector]

[maiden token]

I'm inviting no one #gatekeep #girlboss

[inland hatch]

[kindred vigil]

I'm saving my invite for one peculiar mustard )if he want it)

[empty mantle]

I will have no biding with death cults lol

[scenic meteor]

[warm granite]

Red role is for alpha males only rumor is you will also get it for buying the $100 preorder

[stoic pivot]

[maiden token]

[worn knoll]

[iron blaze]

[stoic pivot]

[inland hatch]

[stiff verge]

I will enforce the idea of the united earth space council
"May this great technological ark carry with it the sum total of all human wisdom, and may neither time nor distance weaken our common ties,"
We will stand together and further humanity towards it's golden future

[kindred vigil]

Im in a cult but I like consent 🙄

[hard orchid]

/arachne @inland hatch has been pledged to the thermodynamics of violence.

[maiden token]

then he'll be all like "woaaahhh I'm arachne??"

[empty mantle]

I work to build up humanity, not find "fun" in de-populating a potential work force

[kind vector]

/arachne

[inland hatch]

[iron blaze]

[warm granite]

Blitz had it for a second then it went away

[kindred vigil]

I think it's because u said it ruined ur theme

[worn knoll]

I didn't! It just went away, somone else must've removed it for me. But how?

[fallen plank]

[worn knoll]

[inland hatch]

[scenic meteor]

Now they have to add the UESC role to save the locked in Arachne roles

[maiden token]

[dusty axle]

Fiending for that red 🍒

[maiden token]

Cherry say the most diabolical thing you can think up about @scenic meteor and I'll give you arachne

Towards the future as a United humankind

[maiden token]

I'm gonna save my last inv for reinfecting scoob like 6 hours from now

[fast zodiac]

BLESSED BE THY KNIVES

[warm granite]

It’s not bad you hear it being activated from a mile away and you can see the silhouette when he’s moving invisible. You can counter it by just standing with your back to the wall and wait 15 seconds for invis to end

[kind vector]

WHO WANTS ARACHNE

[fallen plank]

Me

[dusty axle]

Damn, no love

[stoic pivot]

scooby you will be arachne and you will like it

[subtle storm]

What does arachne even do?

[scenic meteor]

Arachne want me more than my ex did 🥀

[kindred vigil]

[stiff verge]

United everyone stands comune

The united earth space council will ensure order for the sake of humanity

[lusty vigil]

[maiden token]

I think he left the server again actually

[stoic pivot]

I think we need to indoctrinate everyone into Arachne

[scenic meteor]

Nah he still here

[maiden token]

not pointr
everyone but pointr

[fallen plank]

True cult

[nimble canyon]

Initiate operation clown fiesta.

[inland hatch]

everyone who joins arachne gets free cookies.

[rugged sable]

Can I get in on this cult as well?

[warm granite]

I’m genuinely surprised people are getting muted and stuff but not me

[worn knoll]

are you ready for class today? you too, @kindred vigil , I'll need all eyes present. only some hours from now, be ready!

[stoic pivot]

I've already used up my indoctrinations apologies

[kindred vigil]

[fallen plank]

When preorders coming

[oak elbow]

Test

[worn knoll]

[warm granite]

They need to start an AI worship faction in marathon I’ll be a high priest of it

[scenic meteor]

I think I gotta report sick for class today Neeyth can take notes for me

[rugged sable]

[stiff verge]

I mean I'm out here babling on about uesc like im Part of a cult lol

[subtle storm]

[kindred vigil]

[maiden token]

[stiff verge]

[noble estuary]

that's a lotta red peeps

[stoic pivot]

blood for the blood god

[nimble canyon]

Not this crap again. Comments like this from people who haven't played get under my skin.

[tropic creek]

Blood

[maiden token]

damn it

[warm granite]

Sekuguchi seems to be the closest to it

[proven kernel]

Blood. Moar.

[worn knoll]

theory: Arachne is that. Durandal needs an outlet to test his theories about digitization in relation to Escape. Arachne has inexplicably incredible funding.

[warm granite]

That’s interesting. I need to read more about them then

[inland hatch]

arachne = private equity

[worn knoll]

they want to kill immortal people over and over again, why else but to test the durability of the constructs?

[oak elbow]

@wooden roost

[stiff verge]

We stand for humankind

[worn knoll]

sacred thermodynamics, by god, durandal's whole motivation is escaping thermodynamics as a concept

[maiden token]

@scenic meteor hey how are you?

[worn knoll]

it's perfect

[scenic meteor]

Which faction is all wholesome and all about immortality

[inland hatch]

ScoobyDooMysteri

[kindred vigil]

none of them sorry

[scenic meteor]

Pretty good I am making food

[nimble canyon]

I'm going to take a nap. Try not to complain about A specific runner being able to go invisible for a short amount of time and still be seen with an outline and a glimmer.

[subtle storm]

Don’t care if the corporation is evil, if it has drip, im joining in.

[twilit sparrow]

DAY 0 OF THANKING DEVS FOR AN ARACHNE ROLE

[fallen plank]

STONKS only go up, doesn’t matter date or time

[warm granite]

Nah someone above was saying they should remove voids invis

[kindred vigil]

ouh the invis isn't that bad in game

[maiden token]

the rest of the economy collapsing: 🧍
wait this dont make sense he still standing

[warm granite]

You can literally counter his invis by just backing up into a wall and waiting for 15 seconds when you hear the sound effect of it being activated

[quiet pulsar]

arachne is up? edgy players moving to their home

[kindred vigil]

u can also use ur eyes 👀

[astral dome]

ill give a hotdog to whoever invites me to arachne

[subtle storm]

I don’t know anything about the game, it just looks cool

[stiff verge]

Secound person to make that statement both not involved in the playtest so they didn't even actually experience it

[oak elbow]

I will be using invis cause im scared

[maiden token]

[stoic pivot]

I indoctrinated tetra

tetra (probably) indoctrinated others

[kindred vigil]

I could find a new one but the older one is p good

[stoic pivot]

others indoctinated more others
and so on so forth

[maiden token]

only one because she absolutely rinsed scoob

[stiff verge]

Still hecking cool of them to actually do an Arachne takeover event in the discord

[stoic pivot]

scoob is a coward

[warm granite]

Yall should sell invites on eBay tbh as more people stream into here over the next month
