[twilit frigate]

oh does he i thought it was nothing

[still field]

I’m really excited about how they’re doing the faction missions

A lot of extraction shooters mess it all up by making them not matter at all

[indigo summit]

I wonder if you'll be able to drop in as a runner with literally nothing and do a challenge type run or smth that would be fun

[indigo summit]

I think it's just a pistol and some meds along with the one ability he's got

[twilit frigate]

well you can just drop in with nothing anyways

[sacred agate]

It’s called knife runs

[severe condor]

Do we know the time frame of the launch and first season?

[indigo summit]

March 5th

[severe condor]

Yes that’s launch

I mean from launch to the first season

[sacred agate]

Not sure when season 1 comes

[indigo summit]

No clue how long the season will last though

[sacred agate]

I’ll guess 3 weeks before season 1

[indigo summit]

I believe they've said they'll release a roadmap before launch so I guess we'll see

[severe condor]

I hope 3 maps is enough cuz as of now..if it’s the typical month wait I think it’s cooked

[twilit frigate]

honestly im so glad marathon battlepasses are both free and you can get the previous ones

[still field]

I don’t believe so. If we have I haven’t seen it

[indigo summit]

I'm pretty sure they're paid, they'll probably have free tracks like every other battle pass though

But yeah the fact there's no FOMO with them is great, way more games should do that

[still field]

If they give me 3 weeks I’ll be gooped to the max already

[severe condor]

I hope they don’t do goofy things like make new maps only accessible through paying for a battle pass

[twilit frigate]

damn

[indigo summit]

I'm glad we seem to be moving away from fomo in recent years

[sacred agate]

Not happening

[still field]

Often times people beg for more maps then the vast majority just play one map anyway lol

[severe condor]

So all maps are confirmed free

[indigo summit]

They've said all gameplay updates are free it's just cosmetics that are paid

[covert plume]

calling these heroes shells just feels so weird to me. a shell implies an empty customizable state. these developers are just playing with words. the heroes in this game are a crutch for lazy design

[twilit frigate]

hopefully it's like helldivers where if you play enough you can get the passes for 'free' by earning currency but i cant remember if they talked about that

[still field]

And then that one map becomes PvP central after everyone runs out of missions

[severe condor]

For now

[bronze dome]

All marathon maps are free as of right now at least

[severe condor]

Exactly

[bronze dome]

We win!!!

[indigo summit]

They're shells because they're literally hollow bodies that you're injecting your consciousness into

[severe condor]

Boy do i remember the first eververse scene drop

[covert plume]

there are no arc in this game. it will be pvp from the onset

[still field]

It’s a shell because you’re basically “ready player one”

[still field]

? Did you just discover the game?

There’s tons of AI

[indigo summit]

There's PvE

[severe condor]

I do hate hero style games ngl

[indigo summit]

It's just way less of a focus than arc

[covert plume]

been following it since the initial release trailer

[still field]

Calling them arc is also insane lmfao

[grave smelt]

The game has a lot of pve elements

[severe condor]

Which is one of my gripes so far

[still field]

This isn’t arc raiders

[twilit frigate]

genuinely think the AI bots will cause me more trouble in this game than players lmaooo 😭

[bronze dome]

I got fomo’d with the eye of another world dead orbit cosmetic

[severe condor]

Kek

[sacred agate]

There will be some big PvE events and bosses here and there tho

[severe condor]

The black one?

[indigo summit]

It's more class based tbf, you can customize them to your wants quite a bit with cores and stuff

[bronze dome]

Yeah the black hole eyeball one

I was fwc

[severe condor]

Ehh

Dead orbit ftw

[covert plume]

very basic tho. i dont think its a bad thing i jsut dont think it will be like arc raiders in that aspect

[sacred agate]

Nah

[indigo summit]

For sure yeah it's way less of a focus

[bronze dome]

The lore was the freakiest at the time in fwc

[still field]

I’d argue it’s way more in depth. But to each their own

[severe condor]

Especially now since that was Maya

[grave smelt]

Its not. people will definitely spend more time in pve fights than in pvp

[severe condor]

Psh

[covert plume]

it could have been this way without the hero skins and cheesy lines

[severe condor]

They definitely won’t lmao

[sacred agate]

I’m sure there will be a lot more to PvE that we haven’t seen once the game launches

[severe condor]

They will wipe the team first then do whatever pve stiff

Stuff

[indigo summit]

Nah, in arc you can shoot bits off and there's armored spots and way more variety, in Marathon they're basically just ppl that look like robots

[covert plume]

yeah thats a laughable statement

[indigo summit]

There's not really cheesy lines though?

[still field]

Then laugh brother

[severe condor]

Only thing that worries me about pve is bullet sponges

[covert plume]

you know what i mean. the whole hero vibe is there

[still field]

Weird to say when the game isn’t out lmao. This game is going to have raid style objectives and vast majority of ai

[grave smelt]

Hes been laughing since the initial release

[indigo summit]

Like Recon isn't going "I can see them all!!!" When she pops her pings

[severe condor]

It’s 3 v 3 right?

[indigo summit]

Like overwatch or smth

[bronze dome]

classic marathon on Total Carnage is bullet sponge tohou!

[still field]

Teams of 3. Not 3v3

[sacred agate]

If you’re actually focused in on combat the voice lines are background noise

[covert plume]

nah i was hyped when the trailer that got 22million views dropped. this is not the same game.this is an L but its what we get

[severe condor]

I can see them adding some raid stuff ala destiny with both teams coming together…thing is will it be worth it? Will people care enough? Will the player base even be remotely intelligent enough beyond the chronically online people lol?

[indigo summit]

I don't really think most hero shooters are super cheesy anyways, like there's some annoying characters in some of them (Kiriko) but overall it's fine

[indigo summit]

It literally is though?

[severe condor]

So 3 teams of 3?

[covert plume]

thats not what i would buy this game for tbh

[indigo summit]

Cryo archives seems to basically be that, without the coming together part though

[severe condor]

Yup they have to appeal heavily to the casual audience

[still field]

No. You will go in with your team of 3. There will most likely be 30-50 players on every map.

[twilit frigate]

lmao

[sacred agate]

Why are you such a pessimist lol

[severe condor]

Okay thanks

[covert plume]

the original trailer implied blank slate shells. im not alone in thinking this

[indigo summit]

It's like 12 to 17 depending on the map

[severe condor]

I’m being realistic lol

[grave smelt]

Just sceptical

[severe condor]

Idrc about other peoples opinions on my perspective ngl

I’m questioning moreso anything else

[indigo summit]

Yeah and they are? They're blank shells that have abilities sure but they don't have personalities at all, your consciousness gets put into them

[still field]

Bro is a plant or something 😭 wish I had the free time to talk in a discord for a game I didn’t like

[sacred agate]

Fascinating eh

[covert plume]

the weird part is nobody is asking for them.

[indigo summit]

I don't understand when ppl see a thing make up their ideal version of said thing and then get pissed when Bungie didn't create exactly what they thought it would be

[severe condor]

Well that’s not true

People do like them

[covert plume]

yeah i dont

[sacred agate]

Yeah would’ve preferred we got all out customizable characters but we got borderline hero’s it is what it is

[severe condor]

Also kinda not true

[covert plume]

i like waht it could have been im passionate 😔

[severe condor]

The cinematic alone disproves that lol

[bronze dome]

lol

[sacred agate]

Did they ruin your immersion

[still field]

Well I’m glad I’m getting what I want and you aren’t

[indigo summit]

None of them have like super bombastic personalities though, they just seem like slightly different variants on "mercenary" they're not going around like mirage in apex spitting one liners when they do anything

[still field]

I’m selfish

[covert plume]

they are not balnk at all. i want customization

[severe condor]

Thank god for that

[sacred agate]

The idea of unique customized runners is cool but holy, some of the people standing on that hill geek out so much

[still field]

Would be realistic if they yelled slurs at each other since they’re just shells

[covert plume]

eat the slop and like it

[still field]

That’s what I said to your mother

[severe condor]

Honestly this is one of bungies first games without some quirky character or bot lol

Tho I guess Durendal is that in a way

[twilit frigate]

probably because they died so many times and got uploaded into new shells each time that they got used to it

[sacred agate]

High chance you are over the age of 30

[severe condor]

They are shells but not quirky

[covert plume]

not sure why we are getting angry im just staing that these are heroes

[indigo summit]

It also doesn't really make sense? Like surely the idea of customizing your character goes completely against the whole "printed in a factory disposable shell" thing that you're saying you want?

[severe condor]

Like the ghost or Cortana

[grave smelt]

Ur not just stating it. You are wrapping it into your opinion

[still field]

Just playful banter. If you don’t like it at least try the open beta. Maybe you’ll change your mind

[prime breach]

Really sucks they aren’t going to have voice changer built into the game.

[indigo summit]

It'd be cool for sure, especially for rook

[grave smelt]

Nice feature, yeah

[bronze dome]

The playstyle or whatever you call it has to be reflected in the silhouette

[still field]

I think the class base will work with the massive amount of customization. I like knowing if a shell can turn invisible or insta heal someone

[twilit frigate]

they might reconsider it now that proximity chat is included

[covert plume]

i want to like it tbh. just the hero thing turns me off. im going to try it tho

[prime breach]

I will be running a robotic filter through voicemod, but it always works better when it’s built into the games themselves.

[still field]

Would be a nightmare if you had to worry about skills without knowing what they were capable of

[sacred agate]

I disagree with that, I think printed shells explain away why we see the same runners, but it doesn’t conflict with having unique shells printed

[severe condor]

Definitely get where you’re coming from

[indigo summit]

That too, too much customization would make it difficult to tell who you're even fighting, they've said this

[severe condor]

Especially the wanting to like it part lol

[teal condor]

Reminder to drink water

[sacred agate]

Is a tarkov guy here

[bronze dome]

My destinies look the best of anyone’s put me in the zine

[brittle shuttle]

so who gonna give it to me

[covert plume]

i mean the "shells" in this game have more in common with apex than with a game like the finals which ahs actual classes and customization

[still field]

You missed him, John tarkov was just here

[grave smelt]

No logic

[grave smelt]

Yes

[bronze dome]

Yeah give me also

[indigo summit]

I'm fine with full body skins and stuff I just don't get the complaints where ppl want a fully custom shell because they're supposed to be mass produced, Sekiguchi isn't gonna print a custom bunny girl thief outfit for this one runner who's probably just gonna die

[sacred agate]

Nah this 404 guy is definitely a tarkov guy or something similar

[bronze dome]

Someone wanna buy me the statue?

[livid ledge]

They are what they say they are and it’s runners

[severe condor]

Can someone explain the company who creates the bots

[still field]

I don’t think it’ll be as bad as you think

[severe condor]

I guess that’s more of a lore question

[twilit frigate]

the one dude constantly requesting bunny suit thief 👅

[severe condor]

[still field]

A bungie game without skills sounds bland as hell

[indigo summit]

Sekiguchi genetics, they do like everything in terms of human modification

[bronze dome]

Last time I was on here there was a seemingly farmed troll

[severe condor]

Really sounds like cyberpunk but cooler lol

[still field]

And a bungie game with skills when you don’t know what skills they’ll use sounds way worse

[bronze dome]

No shooter is safe

[covert plume]

we can only hope till march

[still field]

I think the “shells” are a necessity to know what you’re up against imo

[indigo summit]

There are 4 main corporations who sort of all have their own corner of the market, except Traxus, Traxus is Traxus

[still field]

I can change my game plan accordingly

[livid ledge]

I got a lot of negativity for saying something like this….

[indigo summit]

Exactly

[severe condor]

Any recommendations to wrap my head around the lore and universe? I kinda understand but kinda lost

[severe condor]

Fuck’em

[twilit frigate]

traxus reminds me of a guy named trax i used to know who likes robots a bit too much

[teal condor]

There was someone that posted "I wish there was a Metro 2033 extraction game" (I was timed out), there is and it's free.

[twilit frigate]

he'd probably froff at this game

[indigo summit]

Jake the alright on YouTube has some good lore videos

[sacred agate]

I would prefer it they let us select our non prime abilities, select any combo except only allow one movement ability per runner

[bronze dome]

You could always check the story page

[twilit frigate]

pleas im so tired dont

i barely slept 😭

[severe condor]

Reading? In 2026? Psh

[indigo summit]

I think that'd suck personally, part of seeing a runner is knowing immediately what they can do and planning accordingly

[livid ledge]

I said “ marathon reminds me of cyberpunk in certain aspects” or something like that and people were declining

[sacred agate]

Yeah I’m not attached to that idea

Ziegler is

[covert plume]

idk these shells dont look mass produced tbh. they are more characters with personalities

[still field]

Think dark souls destiny mixed with that one movie with Will and Jaden smith on the alien planet

[severe condor]

Where? Here or cyberpunk forums?

[livid ledge]

Here lol I know it’s crazy

[severe condor]

Omg that sounds cool asf ngl

[sacred agate]

Well they are characters cause they have pasts

[severe condor]

I’m one of the 12 people who love that movie btw

[indigo summit]

Plus recon having both an active ping and a way to immediately close the gap with Destroyer jets for example would be completely broken, the reason recon works is cause she has literally zero movement

[still field]

It’s froffin time

[bronze dome]

Original trilogy is a lot like dark souls in some ways

[still field]

Everybody watch out. im about to froff

[kindred vigil]

Marathon discord bulletin board:

Does anyone suspect marahton MAY have seasonal maps? 👀 #gamingnews

[bronze dome]

Lore wise I dunno but with the try agains

[twilit frigate]

froth

[severe condor]

People do get defensive alas idc 💀 you’re definitely right

[indigo summit]

It's very DOOM, which makes sense cause it was a first person shooter in the 90s they were all DOOM

[sacred agate]

I hope

[bronze dome]

No!!!

[sacred agate]

Would probably be every 2 seasons

[bronze dome]

Doom is an arcade shooter marathon is more of an adventure game

[severe condor]

If it looked the same back then today I probably would be less interested in it aesthetic wise

[indigo summit]

I mean gameplay wise not really story or presentation wise

[severe condor]

That’s what I wanted to know like does it look like this cuz it’s the future?

[indigo summit]

Yeah it's way less unique

[severe condor]

Or because style overhaul?

[bronze dome]

Still no!!!

[sacred agate]

They’re both arcady

[indigo summit]

Style overhaul I think

It's pretty much a reboot

[still field]

I’m from Iceland. We replace our Ts with Fs

[bronze dome]

IMO

[severe condor]

Hm I think I would prefer the latter but I can dig it

[twilit frigate]

makes sense

[indigo summit]

Like the marathon ship looks completely different in the originals

[severe condor]

Cuz I was looking and I was like “this looks very different”

[bronze dome]

Marathon is harder than doom

[indigo summit]

It's pretty much just a potato

[severe condor]

Lmao

[sacred agate]

There’s no explaining the style of the game w lore lol

[severe condor]

New paint is cool

Basically

[indigo summit]

Yeah

[severe condor]

Same lore more or less I assume tho

[indigo summit]

I love the newer style personally

[rough sail]

game takes place after the original games

[severe condor]

Same it tells stories on its own

[still field]

What’s super girls clone’s name? The short haired one. I forget

Starts with a T I think

[indigo summit]

A lot of similar elements and same characters and stuff but different in a lot of ways

[severe condor]

Galatea?

[still field]

YES

[sacred agate]

Hard to beleive they wouldn’t just have this game be a soft reboot with basically the same exact lore past

[still field]

Love her

[severe condor]

Random but same 😂

[still field]

Just read your name lol

[severe condor]

So trippy

[indigo summit]

The old ones were also very rampant AI and corporate like the new one is but the new one seems to just be more in every aspect

More corporations more AI more everything

[still field]

I think enough time has passed that actual fans are too old to care too much. I think the reboot is fine

[bronze dome]

Marathon 2 and 3 take place in alien ruins and derelict alien ships, seems like numarathon has more human focus

[severe condor]

The rampant ai stories I’ll never get tired of idc how much Bungie uses it

It’ll always be relevant and interesting

Plus cuz dune is awesome lol

[still field]

I don’t mind a reboot if it’s done well

Dune was also changed heavily

[severe condor]

Some definitely care

They always care

[indigo summit]

Yeah like I think every faction has an AI that is sorta your liason between the faction and you, not sure about MIDA or Arachne though

[severe condor]

Even if it’s 12 of them

[sacred agate]

From what I’ve heard this game takes place after 1 and 2, haven’t seen any indication it’s a reboot which just surprises me

[still field]

Definitely do

[indigo summit]

Plus they all look sick as hell

[still field]

But enough time is passed that a little change isn’t that crazy

[severe condor]

Is infinity retconned?

[pearl acorn]

WHOS READY FOR MARATHON MY FELLOW MARATHON MANIACS RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sacred agate]

Nah idk where that fits in

[still field]

They added Arachne to the discord?

[twilit frigate]

yes

[severe condor]

I’m staying a worm boi

[still field]

Nvm lol

[severe condor]

[indigo summit]

They all look so cool

[still field]

I only picked Traxus because Arachne wasn’t an option when I joined

[sacred agate]

Silly worm

[still field]

SORRY

[bronze dome]

Is sekiguchis handler a fricken worm though???

[indigo summit]

I picked NuCaloric cause they interest me

[severe condor]

I’m interested in learning about the factions

[indigo summit]

And Gaius is my favorite of the liaisons

[severe condor]

Where they are

Why they matter

Etc

[bronze dome]

Cool breengrub

[severe condor]

Lowkey reminds me of Alien corporations

Is that correct?

[still field]

I picked traxis and Arachne because I think the mission rewards will be best for PvP

[indigo summit]

They all have their own goals and motivations for being on Tau Ceti too it's cool

[sacred agate]

Cyac rewards are also top tier

[still field]

Lore wise traxis is probably coolest

[twilit frigate]

i picked arachne cause cults are cool

[indigo summit]

Like the Corps all wanna know what happened but for slightly different reasons

[still field]

Are rewards public already?

[sacred agate]

Was in alpha

[still field]

I think you’ll have to do them in a specific order though right?

[severe condor]

Like on the planet and ship?

Hm ngl this opened up some possibilities for me. Like where they could go beyond Tau and the ship map wise

[indigo summit]

Yeah, they all want to know what happened but they also wanna know other things or get different returns on investments

[still field]

Basically they all had money invested so the runners are mercenaries hired by the different companies to try and get their money back

Bet, ty

[sacred agate]

Cyac will give those necessities, things like movement speed increase, heat cooldown, fall damage etc.

[twilit frigate]

is arachne the final one to unlock??

rough

[bronze dome]

The wandering moon of K’lia? It appears in Destiny lore as well but originates in m2

[indigo summit]

NuCaloric seems the most altruistic which interests me but also makes me a bit cautious because a megacorp being altruistic is usually a bad sign

[sacred agate]

Oop

[still field]

Recoil negation or healing speed would be an insane buff.

[sacred agate]

We can’t say here

[bronze dome]

Negate this:

[twilit frigate]

makes sense

[grave smelt]

Yeah

[still field]

I’m frothing at the idea

[severe condor]

I like that no one is a good guy in a send

Sense

[still field]

Makes sense. PvP focus usually comes last before a wipe

[sacred agate]

Yeah I think that’ll mostly be from attachments, and I think possibly some cores too, although an upgrade for that would be crazy but maybe a bit too generous

[indigo summit]

Like they make everything that a human needs to live which seems nice but they've cornered the market on essential things you need or you die which seems bad

[still field]

When people run out of missions in an extraction shooter it becomes basically a PvP only game for awhile lol

[indigo summit]

Like food and medicine and housing

[still field]

Until wipe or more missions

[sacred agate]

Realistic stories, always enjoy that, normally a lot of depth

Like the last of us

[indigo summit]

Wipes are great because it actually encourages you to use all your gold tier stuff you've found, cause if you know you're gonna lose it you may as well use it

[severe condor]

I hope the missions aren’t super egregious

Bungie can definitely go tedious sometimes

[still field]

The only one that doesn’t make sense to me is the ones who just want to blow shit up 😭 like okay Joker

[kindred vigil]

They were mainly confusing due to lack of direction

[severe condor]

Hopefully they can adjust them easily if need be then

[sacred agate]

This. I hope they learn

[indigo summit]

They seem to mainly be "go here do this" or "go kill x number of ppl" type quests

[sacred agate]

There was surely feedback about this, including from myself

[indigo summit]

Stuff you seem to be able to do in one run

[still field]

Hate cod but they actually did this kinda well in dmz. You had one weapon you could customize but if you died with it it went on a pretty long timer. Really helped with gear fear

[severe condor]

Nice

I’m sure they listened

[indigo summit]

But I imagine they'll get more difficult and complicated the further into the faction tree you get

[severe condor]

Doesn’t seem as demanding as Destiny would be

[severe condor]

Perfectly understandable for the ultimate skill and loot

[weary marlin]

contract difficulty really depends, i found some extremely easy in the tech test, but there was a couple that had me questioning stuff

unlike d2, they do not show you where to go and only gives a rough location like ‘the south of’ or ‘in between’

[fluid nacelle]

a ps5 pro is 750 now? unironically the 4050 laptop is cheaper now lmao

[bronze dome]

So many grand scenarios planned by fans of the original trilogy!! The modding tools released with infinity gave people a lot of creative power and so many projects fell through. The dialogue I’ve heard from MIDA seems to be inspired by those ambitious people

[severe condor]

How do yall feel about the over heat running mechanic?

[sacred agate]

They need better indicators on the map for where your objective is sometimes tho, I get encouraging exploring but at least a symbol showing up in match when your nearing where you need to go would be nice

[indigo summit]

It'll probably start with "kill 10 uesc" and end with "go to x location and get a key then go to x location and use it to find x item and extract with it"

[weary marlin]

it’s the RAM shortage man

[kindred vigil]

It's just stamina not really a mechanic

[fluid nacelle]

im a pc guy our steam decks cost 550 now but thats not as bad as the ps5

[severe condor]

See now that’s potential for some fun loops

[indigo summit]

Kill all ai

[sacred agate]

It’s perfectly fine, especially when you max out stamina, I just wish base movement speed was faster

[severe condor]

Do I..do mission? Help my team? Explore? Kill the others?

[still field]

Not a huge fan but I don’t think it’ll be that bad especially after upgrading. They received lots of feedback about it being annoying

[indigo summit]

Except for Gaius ily Gaius mwah

[severe condor]

Oh I could imagine. Even just seeing a bar like that just annoys me instinctively ngl

[indigo summit]

I think it'll get harder sure but way more interesting, fun and thrilling when you actually pull it off

[kindred vigil]

What is charter supposed to be

[weary marlin]

steam focuses on actual players, while sony mainly focuses on profits

[kindred vigil]

Likee is that a man or

[indigo summit]

No clue, Arachne is the faction we definitely know the least about

[severe condor]

Rewarding is the word and I hope it doesn’t stop once u get to the higher echelons

[sacred agate]

I find that I like it even tho it makes traveling from each poi more of a task, it gives you more to manage and requires you to plan accordingly

[terse halo]

[indigo summit]

Cryo archives definitely seems like it'll be challenging but rewarding as all hell

[severe condor]

I member destiny had the run lock😭

[weary marlin]

arachne but we don’t know the charters actual name

kinda under NDA lol

[severe condor]

That’s the one on the ship right

[covert plume]

whats that mean? an alien?

[sacred agate]

It’s not charter?

[covert plume]

Did you guys see the leaked marathon skins?

[indigo summit]

I thought his name was charter

[sacred agate]

Charter is a placeholder? Nahh?

[severe condor]

I hope when and if we kill it we get to take some of it’s cosmetics

Also one of the things I want for the game ngl

[weary marlin]

charter is the spokes person of that faction

[kindred vigil]

They r

[terse halo]

[still field]

Don’t think we get to fight any of the faction leaders

[sacred agate]

Did they not say his name was charter in any of the trailers, pretty sure that would make it official

[covert plume]

our future tbh

[bronze dome]

[severe condor]

Like give my assassin a red cape man

[weary marlin]

like the charter of MIDA is gantry

[kindred vigil]

ya

[severe condor]

I mean the uh alien thing on the ship

[sacred agate]

Charter is his name

[severe condor]

I forget the name

[indigo summit]

I think their name shows up as charter when they're explaining the factions in the recent vidoc

[still field]

Oh, we don’t really know what that thing is. Just that the bots are afraid of it

[covert plume]

sphith or somehting

[indigo summit]

The Arachne one is NAMED charter they're not all "Charters"

[sacred agate]

The compiler

[bronze dome]

A S’pht Compiler

[still field]

Charter is the name of the Arachne leader I thought?

[indigo summit]

S'phit compiler yeah

[severe condor]

Yeah let us kill it and take its stuffs

[covert plume]

what does he complie?

[still field]

Now I’m confused lmao

[still field]

Death

[severe condor]

Information I guess

[indigo summit]

I think that apostrophe is in the right spot

[severe condor]

Oh

[sacred agate]

People, shells

[indigo summit]

Murder

[covert plume]

compiles runners

[sacred agate]

I assume

[severe condor]

They look huge

Are they ai or aliens?

[sacred agate]

I think they’re robotic

[covert plume]

ai aliens

[sacred agate]

On behalf of the spht

[severe condor]

Damn both that’s crazy

[winged vine]

They're basically cyborgs tbh.

[still field]

FLOOD

[sacred agate]

They’re just pawns for the spht aliens

[severe condor]

Lowkey wanna go in blind for the feels

[covert plume]

xbox?

[winged vine]

Eh

[still field]

Tyranids from warhammer

[winged vine]

I mean the second one is.

The others aren't.

[pearl acorn]

RISE AND GRIND MARATHON MANIACS

[sacred agate]

Mac windows Linux and

[severe condor]

Oh yeah it’s $9 on Xbox

[weary marlin]

yooo my CE is arriving saturday

[dark yoke]

5 am marathon maniac reporting for duty

[severe condor]

Dang i remember halo CE 🤓

Have fun Kek

[still field]

Big laundry and dishwasher in the building 🔥🔥🔥

[bronze dome]

Spht are like scrub aliens that were given sentience with cybernetics

[weary marlin]

i’ve always wanted to get a halo CE, but my mum wouldn’t buy me one way back then

[winged vine]

Former sewer dwellers moment.

[severe condor]

Do they work for Durandal?

[bronze dome]

They thought that’s the only way sentience was possible til they got invaded by the organic pfhor

[weary marlin]

but now i dont play halo anyway

[winged vine]

Its okay.

[severe condor]

Well no one wants to play infinite

[winged vine]

Halo has been ass for over a decade now.

[severe condor]

I tried so many times

[winged vine]

Not missing out on anything.

[pearl acorn]

stopped at each frfr

[weary marlin]

last one i played was halo 5 then i swapped to over to playstation

[sacred agate]

I wonder when we see the jjaro

[winged vine]

Halo 4 was shit, 5 had a horrible story but lowkey fire MP, and Infinite is just straight back to being shit.

[severe condor]

Hey if Bungie gave up on it why shouldn’t we?

[bronze dome]

Joel Corelitz ‘Sequence’ off the halo Infinite soundtrack rules

[winged vine]

Reach 🤮

[severe condor]

Now they come to taint the memory of halo CE with infinite

[weary marlin]

halo reach was the halo i played the most of

[winged vine]

Woah, you don't like Halo CE Campaign Evolved Anniversary 2 Remastered?

Bungie shill /s

[weary marlin]

so far best song for marathon is definitely code race

[severe condor]

Copium will make me God

[winged vine]

Nah but for real.

Every time they get bad reception for a game they remake CE.

[severe condor]

I need to listen to the marathon songs

[bronze dome]

Bungie has premium gunplay luxury gunplay

[weary marlin]

start with code race, it’s the one from the ARG i think

idk any of the old ones if there were any

[severe condor]

Things Bungie games never gotta worry about:

gunplay
Music
Art

[weary marlin]

it’s also the song they use for promotion shit

[winged vine]

Well... about art...

[severe condor]

Bruh marathon is fire 😭

[winged vine]

They did kinda fuck up a tad bit lol

[severe condor]

True true

But they still cooked

[pearl acorn]

guys

[weary marlin]

a tiny issue, but they got a HUGE bag bro

[severe condor]

Aside from like a few uh icons and stuff

[pearl acorn]

i cant find a job, i wonder if the zoo is looking for a goat

[dark yoke]

Yeah they made good with the artist anyway

[severe condor]

I still look at d1 concept art shi

[winged vine]

Yeah. It's not classic Marathon but I'll still play it, the art is cool. I just hope they make options to play no-face runners eventually tbh.

I don't gaf about the character runners.

[severe condor]

Lowkey do want a helmet

[wanton anchor]

What would be cool to collab with if marathon ever does?

[severe condor]

They look ugly asf lol

[sacred agate]

I hope we see flickta in this game after a couple of seasons, it would mean they’d need to add a map that is on Tau Ceti’s moon, lhowon, which would be sick

[winged vine]

Also UESC faction when I want to support the UESC.

[bronze dome]

Damb if you need an introduction to Classic Marathon just look at all of Craig Mullins marathon art

[pearl acorn]

cyberpunk

[sacred agate]

Nothing

[weary marlin]

well i mean the whole way they’re doing it is it’s YOUR conciseness being uploaded to the runners

i think

[wanton anchor]

Nothing like the nothing phones?

[winged vine]

I know, cool idea but I don't really care for the character designs at all lol. So I'm just hoping for skins that hide the faces eventually.

[severe condor]

We are just the Nine honestly lmao

[bronze dome]

I’m not joking it could be all you need (Mullins marathon art) as I feel it drives home the enigmatic and interpretative nature of the original stuff

[severe condor]

That’s why I hate the hero shell thing

[weary marlin]

ohhh i see, i can’t really talk about skins though because of the NDA:(

[winged vine]

Like Glitch or whatever she's called now has a cool kit but that design is fucking dumb.

IMO

Don't hate

[dark yoke]

I dig her

[severe condor]

She had like face thing

[bronze dome]

Is glitch the one who looks like Aurora?

[sacred agate]

She looks better with the black skin

[severe condor]

I like cyberpunk sci fi just sometimes not too much

[dark yoke]

[wanton anchor]

It would be cooler if it was a little bit like destiny where you can customize the character in a lot of aspects… or I don’t remember if it was like that…

[weary marlin]

i’m listening to code race the second half of the song is just the lobby music as well

[severe condor]

Even Destiny is dog water designs ngl

[wanton anchor]

I just remember the first idea it was being a full customizable character

[bronze dome]

She looks awesome I smite whoever said it

[wanton anchor]

Before the “hero” thing

[covert plume]

the one they renamed vandal

[weary marlin]

the first half is promotional

[pearl acorn]

HOLY SLOP TAKE

[severe condor]

That’s why people hide under their helmets..

[bronze dome]

DEPENDS

[severe condor]

They never take them off

[winged vine]

The Hero shit was one of my biggest handthrows for this game tbh.

Like bruh.

[dense stone]

supergirl how dare you hate destiny 2

[severe condor]

Talking for our characters not others btw

[sacred agate]

Okay okay calms down there

It’s not like it’s Destiny 1 we’re talking about

[weary marlin]

i just can’t wait for the marathon skins in destiny, you can see them in the collections

[grave smelt]

Poopstiny 2

[pearl acorn]

destiny has fire art direction fym depends brotha

[dense stone]

How dare you slander my goat cayde 6

[severe condor]

I hate the warlock one ngl

[winged vine]

Destiny has a art direction?

[dark yoke]

I think a good middle ground would be having the base skin of the shell be customizable with a bunch of earnable doo-dads

[dense stone]

cayde 6 died for us D2 players

[sacred agate]

Destiny has good outfit designs

[weary marlin]

could’ve done better with warlock, but the titan is pretty good with destroyer/locus

[winged vine]

D1 had better designs than D2.

[severe condor]

And hunter ofc the favorites

[severe condor]

Objectively true even armor

[winged vine]

Hoping.

[dense stone]

destiny 2 had better designs what are you saying

all of D1 designs are in D2

[pearl acorn]

i think head customization would be cool, like colours, eyes, hair, and face patterns. so it keeps the bodies and skins but the heads are your choice

[severe condor]

You can see all the things they added from d1 and in d2 and it looks better in d1

[weary marlin]

ok, code race is definitely the song from the arg, but it’s also used in the lobby music

[pearl acorn]

oh god, what are we even sayinggg bro

[severe condor]

The lighting is cooked

[winged vine]

I don't like Destiny if it isn't obvious

I think I'd rather self delete with a 50-cal than play that

[wispy yacht]

Hey chat I am at college and using a laptop which has RTX 4050 and Intel i5 13500hx

So will marathon run good on my laptop ?

[severe condor]

Crazy

[weary marlin]

d1 had SOME better designs

[wanton anchor]

It will

[sonic swan]

you’ll be fine

[bronze dome]

A lot of the more fantasy leaning designs had this gaudy raid shadow legends mobile hero gacha netease aesthetic that I really did not agree with but most of the time they are on it and looks good

[stoic atlas]

for the d2 players, my rahool rank meter isn't showing and I NEED an exotic cipher for the mida multitool, how do I even advance beyond this point

[weary marlin]

it’ll run perfectly fine, it’s a 2060 recommended game

[winged vine]

Maybe not art wise but in terms of being cohesive is what I'm saying really.

[pearl acorn]

aight so no more speaking, your rights to speak has ended

[sacred agate]

It should, the game should be easy to run

[dense stone]

D2 shaders ruined most armors

[severe condor]

Just nova bomb him

[winged vine]

Like D2 just has random shit.

[sacred agate]

Not at all demanding and one of the best looking multiplayer games I’ve played on PS5

[bronze dome]

Nova warp only

[severe condor]

Tickle fingers

[winged vine]

Bruh

[weary marlin]

it’s crazy that marathon is better optimised than a lego game

[severe condor]

Yeah I saw that

[stoic atlas]

I honestly have no idea what this means

[pearl acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/jaelin-anidala-kiss-revenge-of-the-sith-gif-14705491173376559599

[severe condor]

Lore time

[winged vine]

Are they sticking to the 8GB requirement or is it upped?

[bronze dome]

It’s a destiny super a big sphere that insta kills

[severe condor]

Purple spirit bomb

[bronze dome]

Yeah

[wanton anchor]

8gb

[bronze dome]

It is a spirit bomb dam

[sonic swan]

any news on a ps5 pro enhanced mode

[pearl acorn]

mega purple nuke

[severe condor]

You can actually do spirit bomb with one of the finishers

[dense stone]

spirit bomb is blue

[severe condor]

That’s why purple

[pearl acorn]

yeah i got em right here just pull my finger

[errant sluice]

When do we think open beta will commence?

[pearl acorn]

weekned before release

[sonic swan]

get back in the kitchen

[severe condor]

Unfortunately probably a week before

[bronze dome]

Remember handheld supernova pre nerf when it was a fusion rifle spell???????

[stoic atlas]

ok but how do I actually get an exotic cipher if I can't rank up rahool and xur isn't here

[sacred agate]

I mean theyve been talking about graphic realism for a while now, it’s very simple but looks great, not graphic intensive

[bronze dome]

It was so wizard

[severe condor]

Loved those days

[winged vine]

That's cool for me, that means I can play it on my shite Windows PC and not have to do mage wizard terminaltry to play on my main computer that would get me banned immediately lol.

[pearl acorn]

i save hours of your day, watch it bub

[errant sluice]

Don’t think they’ll do something similar to arc witt the open test weekends?

[severe condor]

Remember when HHSN didn’t self harm and kill?

[wanton anchor]

I wonder if any bungie dev is watching us yap around

[bronze dome]

I rembor

[severe condor]

And we could survive slide shotguns lmao

[severe condor]

Ofc

[sonic swan]

i hand wash all my dishes. can’t trust anyone but myself 💯

[sacred agate]

From now it’s most likely only open betas

[weary marlin]

marathon minimum is 8gigs of ram with a recommended of 16 gigs of ram

lego batman legacy minimum is 16 gigs of ram and recommended of 32

[pearl acorn]

they said they gonna do a beta test before release

[winged vine]

Have to clean that NuCal slop off them yourself to ensure your health, good choice.

[pearl acorn]

and they had a bunch of closed tests that many of us in this chat have played

[sacred agate]

It’s free anyways

[sonic swan]

exactly. it’s nothing to do with my gf being meticulous about water stains

[winged vine]

lol

[errant sluice]

I played the closed test just didn’t know if there’d be more like they did with arc raiders.

[wanton anchor]

Yeah, it actually surprised me looking at the minimum requirements for it. Thought would be more demanding

[wicked schooner]

what is nowhere

[severe condor]

Yall think we will get melee weapons other than the derp knife?

[sacred agate]

Well that last one for arc raiders was essentially just an open beta, it’s the same thing as this

[winged vine]

I figured it would have been upped after the game stopped looking like it did in the alpha ngl.

[severe condor]

I hope so personally

[bronze dome]

Are there no fists?

[severe condor]

The art looks great btw @bronze dome

[severe condor]

Give me techno swords man

[weary marlin]

there’s only gonna be one preview weekend

[errant sluice]

There was one a couple months before release and then one 2 weeks from release.

[covert plume]

one thing i wish arc could steal is the brutality of the finisher in this game

[atomic quail]

im hoping for a runner shell that specialises in melee combat

[pearl acorn]

such is the conceit of the self proclaimed seeker of truth, but in the end you lack the stomach, to the the agony that youll bring upon youself

[winged vine]

A place where the soundboards would get me banned in basically every server on this earth.

[severe condor]

I want weapons to find for that too tho

[covert plume]

a samurai runner?

[wanton anchor]

Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
8 GB de RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (4 GB) / Intel Arc A580 (8 GB, with ReBAR on

[severe condor]

Like I really dislike the idea of everything being exclusive like to a sense

[wanton anchor]

Ngl pretty cool optimization

[weary marlin]

i hope they don’t add too many runners, i don’t want to have memorise 50 different runners and their abilities

[pearl acorn]

god pls no more samurai shi, all i see in games is katana stuff now 😭

[severe condor]

Warframe aaa

[sonic swan]

you know it’s coming

[bronze dome]

The fists in classic marathon can kill a player in 2 hits if you’re going fast enough (and are squirrely enough to avoid rockets)

[sonic swan]

if not a runner then a skin at least

[sacred agate]

Yeah

[atomic quail]

nah my fever dream induced copium is that you know how Durandal is also known as the Sword of Roland? longsword as the gimmick

[covert plume]

what would you add tho?

[stable meteor]

/handshake

[sonic swan]

samurai skins are like lay ups for games like these

[sacred agate]

Cap it a 10-12

[severe condor]

Just add swords to the game as a weapon lol

[bronze dome]

He who controls the narrative is king!!!

[severe condor]

Doesn’t have to be a whole exclusive shell

[winged vine]

Skins for the people who liked the original Marathon look while not getting rid of the new look.

[weary marlin]

since it’s a thursday today, i’m going we get to see more stuff about the game or at least an announcement towards the open preview

[sacred agate]

We’ll probably get a sword and I’m sure we’ll get cool Arachne skins for melee weapons

[severe condor]

Is this guy stronger than Cortana @bronze dome

[atomic quail]

oh not saying have NO melee and ONLY the runner shell as a melee focused one. have melee weapons in the game, they just get a special one thats part of their kit

[sacred agate]

An announcement for preview today possibly?

[pearl acorn]

im just so tired of the katana stuff every single time some character has a sword, give me a cutlass, a straightsword, a spear, jagged blade idk, something thats not a katana, its such an abused trope now yknow.

[covert plume]

they should steal the whole dual swords vibe from the finals

[severe condor]

Oh but their weapon perks kinda gotta be ass

[covert plume]

its sick

[atomic quail]

huffing the copium

[bronze dome]

Durandal? That’s a good debate. I’d say his halo counterpart would be the grave mind as they both know they’re in a videogame

[sonic swan]

ever hear of a game called for honor

[winged vine]

Rip out the chest of a UESC bot and use the mind flayer tendrils as a weapon.

[weary marlin]

hopefully and the arg wouldn’t be too bad @pure mason

i’m just assuming our news days would be thursdays

[sacred agate]

I was just playing today and my teammate had one that you can dash with

[pearl acorn]

i play for honour

[atomic quail]

either that or instead of a knife they get the sword, and using their prime skill modifies it to be something like the master sword with full health in link to the past

[pearl acorn]

holy peak

[severe condor]

I really need to see what this guy can do

[sonic swan]

we’re both stuck in that hell

[severe condor]

Lmao

I forgot for honor existed geez

[sacred agate]

What was last Thursday

[bronze dome]

Mandaloregaming has good summary videos

[pearl acorn]

nah i left long ago, i put the blade down, would love to see a for honour 2 tho, for honour honestly has the best sword combat in any game and the sickest medievel designs to them. very peak and underlooked game

[covert plume]

i get you it is. japanese culture in general is abused for the aesthetic

[winged vine]

[sonic swan]

it’s fun every now and then. but i can’t main it again

[wanton anchor]

Use the reinforced spinal bones as a sword

[covert plume]

man i play that game too much. its slept on

[bronze dome]

Jeoku goes in depth for all levels and terminals

[atomic quail]

reject modernity with samurais, embrace tradition with foot knights

[pearl acorn]

yes thissssss, its so exhausting and forced i cant stand one more game that has some japanese based season or event anymore im gonna turn to dust lol

[wicked schooner]

mods? ban this person

[bronze dome]

Windbreaker777 has the pvp highlights

[sacred agate]

Becuase historically genres have implemented Japanese culture and so it just becomes integrated into those genres

[pearl acorn]

RGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[winged vine]

[sonic swan]

honestly for honor now is like for honor 2. the same way destiny 2 is basically destiny 3/4. but i agree a complete fresh start would be nice

[atomic quail]

claymore my beloved.

[wicked schooner]

bloated and janky

[sonic swan]

a bit

[severe condor]

Saying Destiny 2 is basically 3/4 hurt my soul a bit ngl

[wicked schooner]

destiny 358/2 days

[sacred agate]

Destiny 2 is Destiny 3?

But it’s not even good

[winged vine]

Destiny 3: Return of the Season Pass

[atomic quail]

destiny 2, then destiny 2.1 now its like destiny 2.7 'this one will be the one guys'

[wicked schooner]

destiny 67

[pearl acorn]

true but from a marketing prespective ppl are too dumb to go back to it or new players to touch it, honestly to make a new one i recomend, 2 new factions, and conversion of accounts n stuff. @sonic swan

[sonic swan]

i’m not a destiny fan boy so idrc

[atomic quail]

oh i was saying more samurais are overused in media, go back to the classic medieval knights with claymores

[bronze dome]

The cloudstriders are so cool and that montage fricken ruled

[severe condor]

So marathon 2.0 when 😭

[kindred vigil]

Destiny 6-7 👀?

[bronze dome]

It’s called Marathon Istoria!

[atomic quail]

if we're being deadass i think thats where we are now lmao

[pearl acorn]

shi idk why it responded to you lol

[dense stone]

Marathon just dropped on steam im playing it right now

[atomic quail]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[severe condor]

Bungie cooks ahead of time innit

[bronze dome]

Or Apotheosis X?

[winged vine]

When we get a 4v4 Arena mode so I can never look at Halo and wish it wasn't ass. Just give generic nameless runners pls bungo.

[severe condor]

Do they have comics? @bronze dome

[wanton anchor]

Game release prob is the 2.0

[kindred vigil]

I believe <@&1306392707979018371>atpatgt is going to enjoy this 👀

[pearl acorn]

just know this

[sacred agate]

I hope we get multiplayer mode eventually

[bronze dome]

No but there is plenty of fan stuff

[dull wigeon]

Are all faction agents an ai?

[pearl acorn]

when halo came out, mfs said. just anotha shoota

[atomic quail]

first we need an all rook playlist

[sacred agate]

No

[dense stone]

yes

[winged vine]

We are rook.

[severe condor]

They will come out with more halo seasons before another game

[sacred agate]

No

[kindred vigil]

I think <@&1306392707979018371>atpatgt will enjoy discssecting this frame by frame 👀

[pearl acorn]

when destiny came out, mfs said, just anotha loota shoota why not play borderland instead

[bronze dome]

Arena shooter playlist

[dense stone]

yes

[bronze dome]

Actually, that’s classic marathon

[pearl acorn]

three times the charm a extraction shoota

[sacred agate]

Ur worm isn’t an ai

[dense stone]

D:

[keen zinc]

playing marathon infinity rn I need a cyberacme ai with a soothing voice to tell me where tf to go 💔

[severe condor]

So what are the worms

[covert plume]

unfortunately the whole live service thing makes this so far off

[kindred vigil]

They make the shells

[severe condor]

Yes but what are they

[sacred agate]

They weave the shells

[severe condor]

If not ai

[winged vine]

They're robots.

[kindred vigil]

oh idk probably just bioengineered shit

[covert plume]

reminds me of westworld

[bronze dome]

Artificial Inchworm

[spring kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-mpreg-mida-marathon-pregnant-gif-10268528854224095197

[dense stone]

worms are the humanitys next evolutionary advancement into the pinnacle of apex

[severe condor]

They look like they could tear your skin off if they wanted to

[winged vine]

me when

[bronze dome]

They say we’ll all be crabs eventually…

[sacred agate]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-marathonthegame-arachne-marathon-arachne-cyberacme-marathon-gif-9713984736063822649

I’m talking about your worm representative

[kindred vigil]

They spit silk 🤢

[atomic quail]

we finally evolved past crabs

[dense stone]

sekguchi genetics worm enhancements

[kindred vigil]

aee

see*

[severe condor]

Insane

This is what got me hyped on the game ngl

Westworld shi

[bronze dome]

They actually put the skin on

[sacred agate]

And I doubt Charter is an AI unless someone’s theory that he is Durandal is correct

[covert plume]

this game has the best friggin aesthetics tbh

[winged vine]

The lore is great. I'm just looking forward to seeing the lore disrepencies explained, and figuring out which timeline this continues off of.

Spoilers.

Sorry.

[bronze dome]

Is the worm in the big bux edition 3d? You can’t tell from the store pictures

[severe condor]

The glowing mushrooms >

[bronze dome]

The worm card

[atomic quail]

worm card yes

[indigo summit]

Hello im back

[severe condor]

It’s a card?

[bronze dome]

Is it flat?

[indigo summit]

Left to eat cause I'm fat

[severe condor]

I thought it was a little plushie

[bronze dome]

Flat worm or Fat worm which is it PLEADE

[covert plume]

are they in the game? that first trailer where the runner is sprinting and stomps a mushroom 🔥 bro

[wanton anchor]

KAGURABACHI FAN????

[sacred agate]

There was a plushie a while back

[winged vine]

Yes

[indigo summit]

Absolutely

[severe condor]

Actually idk if they are

[indigo summit]

It's goated

[severe condor]

Like that type

[kindred vigil]

do u think the runners smoke

[severe condor]

I’ve seen planets and stuff

[bronze dome]

I have the hive worm plush

[wanton anchor]

Holy truth nuke

[covert plume]

i dont believe now i actually need to check

[severe condor]

Lemme see

[bronze dome]

Yeah they smoke cyber weed

[indigo summit]

Dap me up my goat

[winged vine]

There's a body engulfed in them on a wall in the trailer.

[weary marlin]

must hit hard as hell

[teal condor]

Bruh it's true people are already getting their collectors edition

[sacred agate]

Smoke worms

[dense stone]

marathon probably has the most unique design like a weird matrix cyberpunk borderlands mix

[bronze dome]

One of the original marathon teaser images of thief has his vape smoke lol

[indigo summit]

The graffiti and mushrooms are so sick

[wanton anchor]

Sure I will

[kindred vigil]

Smoking the nucal pack

[weary marlin]

there were some bodies in the alpha covered in the glowing mushroom in the alpha as well i think

[indigo summit]

The graffiti especially, there's so many sick lines in those, plus the lore implications are sick too

[wanton anchor]

Yes

[atomic quail]

FEAR IS A DISEASE
REST NOW CURED

[weary marlin]

i mean the assassin/void is all about using smoke as well

[indigo summit]

I genuinely can't get "Mad is the sword who severed tomorrow" out of my head it's so good

[winged vine]

Daily reminder that B. Strauss called Durandal a girl so many times he got mad and had a breakdown.

[bronze dome]

That’s the one sorry

[wanton anchor]

A lot or people actually got them delivered couple days ago

[bronze dome]

I don’t know the characters I’m just gonna go get in fights lol I main Infinity PvP

[wanton anchor]

I want my worm keychain too…

[atomic quail]

the durandal-thoth line at the start of the trailer has me so damn keen to see what form durandals gonna take in the game

[weary marlin]

yes, and mine is arriving on saturday

[kindred vigil]

You know I know it goes against the lore points and all but

[indigo summit]

Same, especially since outside of voice lines we've seen literally nothing

[kindred vigil]

I kinda hope we get to able to have a uesec faction, js because I like their aesthetic style

[wanton anchor]

How long it is from order until delivery?

[atomic quail]

'Strauss gave an AI so much gender envy they went rampant

[winged vine]

Based

[kindred vigil]

could u imagine all the runners in uesc style

[severe condor]

Maybe a skin for sure

[bronze dome]

almost like this

[sacred agate]

I hope charter isn’t Durandal

[indigo summit]

I bet there will probably be skins that give you that kinda aesthetic but there probably won't be a faction

[kindred vigil]

They have it as an emote but it's not selectable 😢

[weary marlin]

i ordered it on the 20th, so a few days

[winged vine]

Just give me skins that make me look like the UESC bots and my money is Bungos.

[crimson helm]

Bungie Devs

Open up any way to play Marathon right now?

I'm super hype with his game. The Art Concept is brutal. Everything looks so good.

[kindred vigil]

Not enough I want a locus type shell

[atomic quail]

i hope to the w'rkncacnter they keep that shit under tight lips so we experience it ingame blind

[kindred vigil]

like what xenon said it'll most likely be a skin bundle

called the uesc enforcers or some lame shi 😭✌️

25$

[indigo summit]

Yeah, it seems that might be what the "anomaly" is

[wanton anchor]

Would be fun to fool people with it

[atomic quail]

i want to know nothing about the marathon AIs until theyre in the game

[weary marlin]

just watch all of the alpha gameplay

[kindred vigil]

ohh my fault

[keen zinc]

There definitely could be a point in the story where the UESC starts hiring runners to combat runners of other factions messing with their operations right

[atomic quail]

well theyve teased the S'pht Compiler by only showing glimpses of it, both in the vidoc, trailer and the cinematic short

[indigo summit]

Maybe

[kindred vigil]

Wait they did say silk would be earnable in game like how hd2 does it right 😟

[winged vine]

A little close to Rooks ability but whatever, I think another runner in that half biomata half robot look could work too.

[sacred agate]

I think so

[indigo summit]

Yeah but that's on the ship, the anomaly is on the planet so the compiler probably isn't causing it

[atomic quail]

the Rook shaped shell in question

[sacred agate]

Literally

[leaden wharf]

Yeah silk will probably be like warbonds from helldivers

[winged vine]

Yeah actually just skin Rook lol.

[leaden wharf]

Err

Medals

[sacred agate]

Also thats an unneeded buff and they already purposely made rook that way

[wanton anchor]

Hope that’s true…

[indigo summit]

I wonder if rook will get skins, I hope so

[weary marlin]

just a reminder, Hauler on perimeter has A LOT of weapon cases, go there often

[atomic quail]

im just hoping they keep it out of earshot so to speak. the main appeal for me for the game is the mystery of what happened to tau ceti, if its the phfor that killed everyone, or if it is indeed that ancient being that makes the universe forget its rules

[wanton anchor]

Really want to grind for cool things

[winged vine]

He better he's my favorite purely because he's faceless lol.

[grave smelt]

WRONG

[sacred agate]

Nah just give rook hats, he should always look like uesc

[atomic quail]

wait the premium currencys gonna be earnable ingame?

[sacred agate]

Don’t listen, Qxirr is right

[indigo summit]

It's always good when a game like this has different loot in different places, it'd be lame if you found the same distribution of stuff everywhere

[grave smelt]

Bait for newbies

[atomic quail]

rook gets an implant. its just a top hat and now theyre queueable with a squad

[nimble canyon]

Package acquired.

It has arrived.

[sacred agate]

I have February 6th for early access

[indigo summit]

Sick!

Remember to get a big enough jar for the thief figure 😁

[kindred vigil]

Thank u ratbastard ur like the best news source

[weary marlin]

pretty sure silk is just for bp stuff, but we will see

[wanton anchor]

Ngl my biggest dream rn is that marathon does a collab with blame at some point, I think that series matchs perfectly with the game and aesthetics…

[indigo summit]

Lmao

[grave smelt]

Thank u

[kindred vigil]

ur not rat

[atomic quail]

you get 200 silk from the deluxe edition AND the rewards pass so im willing to say its premium currency

[grave smelt]

Thank you, thank you, my lover

[winged vine]

Thief with a helmet skin and my $10 is yours bungo.

[keen zinc]

To what extent though can I farm up tens of thousands premium currency like warframe

[indigo summit]

I'm super happy there's a mod for the sidearm that literally just turns it into Rat King, I love Rat King

[sacred agate]

Um no collabs anytime soon for this game, thanks

[atomic quail]

plot twist, the collab is just classic marathon

[grave smelt]

Collab with concord confirmed

[keen zinc]

Marathon: The Last Jedi just leaked

[indigo summit]

I'm guessing silk will be like freemium stuff and there will be separate proper paid currency

[kindred vigil]

Um no collabs anytime soon for this game, thanks

[sacred agate]

Og marathon graphic skins

Cursed

[weary marlin]

no it’s definitely for the battle pass, look at the wording of it

200 silk rewards pass tokens

[atomic quail]

new runner unlocked, its the Mjolnerd with double shotguns

[jaunty oar]

😢 the LEDS in my CE statue dont work

[winged vine]

Complete with bottom right UI.

[cold stump]

[grave smelt]

New runner unlocked, Iron Man painted as an american flag

[sacred agate]

Silk is probably for unlocking the items through the battle pass

[atomic quail]

oh ok fair point.

[kindred vigil]

unlucky

go to support to see if they can send some kinda replacement or like idk

[indigo summit]

Contact Bungie support, maybe they'll help idk tho

[jaunty oar]

yeah 5v 2a is standard for a lot of USB plugs

[indigo summit]

Oh yeah

[carmine dust]

sup, what are the contracts on the channel above

[atomic quail]

ARG

[indigo summit]

Arg stuff

[grave smelt]

BVF

[indigo summit]

Probably will be important soonish

[weary marlin]

already have my DAC at level 2

[indigo summit]

Cause there's a new website

[carmine dust]

ay so nothing important rn

[indigo summit]

Which is awesome btw its a sick website

Check it out even if you're not into the arg stuff

[atomic quail]

oh the tau ceti explorer?

[winged vine]

Get ready to spend like 13 hours trying to coordinate with a couple thousand people on what button to press again lol.

That was awful

[grave smelt]

The website is confirmed to be a part of money laundering scheme

[indigo summit]

Yeah

[atomic quail]

reminds me of the station 61 ARG for helldivers 2 before ther battle for super earth. everyone every 30 seconds just brute forcing the direction we had to find by going 'Right 1 Degree'

[wanton anchor]

Where can I check it out?

[grave smelt]

Yes

[indigo summit]

Cause there's a bunch of spots that say "TXT // FAIL" and stuff, and outpost is just fully hidden

[winged vine]

The ARG was so cool then that shit just roadblocked it for hours lol.

[wanton anchor]

Thanks!

[atomic quail]

my fave was watching the devs go 'this has made us lose so much faith with our helldivers'

[indigo summit]

Its cool

[grave smelt]

Stop living in Brisbane

[winged vine]

People cannot work together on the internet

[atomic quail]

wrong state

[grave smelt]

Ur brisbn

[indigo summit]

They can in small enough groups but once you tell 2000 ppl to coordinate button presses it kinda falls apart 😭

[winged vine]

With latency and braindead streamers insisting they are right lmao.

Ngl I was surprised we finished that as fast as we did

[atomic quail]

Right 1 Degree

[winged vine]

I figured it would take way longer

[sacred agate]

That’s what was so interesting about aligning those satellites in the arg

[indigo summit]

I wonder what the next one will be like

[weary marlin]

it’s only because if it was in the right spot it got locked

[indigo summit]

Plus there's still some stuff we didn't use from the last ARG

But that might be irrelevant

[weary marlin]

the ARG will definitely lead to the full release or the open preview announcement

i’m betting full release

[sacred agate]

Also some of that is unsolved stuff I’m pretty sure

[atomic quail]

if the ARG is how we find out about the marathon AIs i wouldnt be fussed

[weary marlin]

i’m still waiting for my work to approve my holiday request for when marathon drops

[indigo summit]

Yeah but I think all the old websites are down now

[kindred vigil]

Speaking of ay argh gee

that tau ceti we site is legit cool as fuck why is that not advertised more ??

[atomic quail]

im not planning that far ahead. i want to preorder the game but im telling myselfd to wait till the preview event so i can see if its somethign ill actually like

[weary marlin]

it’s going to be a paid as well:)

[indigo summit]

Or they're still up technically but they all lead to a splash screen saying "Shut down by the UESC"

[kindred vigil]

I get it's an arg but bro it could be used as a helpful site if it gives MAP overviews

[indigo summit]

Ikr it's so cool

[grave smelt]

Keylogger

[kindred vigil]

ruh oh

✌️😂anddddd there goes my crypto wallet!

[weary marlin]

oh i’ve played the alpha and tech test, so i already put in like 100 - 300 hours

[kindred vigil]

(I never had any 🥀)

[indigo summit]

It's good for initially getting your bearings I think, especially in terms of smaller POIs but I think it won't matter much once you've played enough

Milo is yummy

[atomic quail]

fair enough. i initially wrote the game off going 'not for me, hope it does well enough' but with the vidoc and runner shell vids showing how the gameplays gonna be i wont lie im keen as hell

[indigo summit]

Choccy milk 🤤

[sacred agate]

Yes do that

[indigo summit]

Kinda similar boat I was super interested initially then I wasn't now I'm hyped as hell

[atomic quail]

i did teh same with with arc raiders, bought it. and now i havent even launched the damn thing

[sacred agate]

I have probably around 200 hours in the game, couldn’t get enough of it

[weary marlin]

if you’re not 100% but do want to play, then preorder the game while you still got the chance, might as well give yourself a few cosmetics yk

[sacred agate]

Yeah I skipped arc

I played the tests

[indigo summit]

Ah, same difference though I guess, they're not up

[atomic quail]

i need to see how the gameplay is. i dont wanna sink 60 bucks on somethign i wont play

[winged vine]

Same, though a large part of it was also in part because for an extraction PvPvE game people sure hate the vP part.

[atomic quail]

its more as good as it looks, i just....dont like the 3rd person aspect of it?

like its amazing how thats the killing blow for me.

[sacred agate]

We just had someone in here complain about people who shoot other players in arc 💀

[atomic quail]

what a specimen of an individual

[sacred agate]

The community is hilarious

[winged vine]

Yeah I don't get it, go play Roblox or something idk.

[weary marlin]

it’s $40, and there’s alpha gameplay you can look at from last year + some dev gameplay they released from the tech test and clips on tiktok on twitter from the official marathon page

[atomic quail]

🇦🇺

[weary marlin]

oh i see

[indigo summit]

Yeah marathon is definitely gonna be way less friendly than arc for sure

[winged vine]

Good ^

[atomic quail]

marathon is also so much faster than ARC

[sacred agate]

Someone here told me how there are forums online from arc players giving out usernames of people who killed them in the game

[weary marlin]

only reason arc was friendly was definitely the way it was marketed

[indigo summit]

🇳🇿

[leaden wharf]

Honestly I think the thing that's got me the most hyped for marathon is the environment.
They really nailed the "Failed colony on a faraway exoplanet" vibe

[atomic quail]

oi bru

[indigo summit]

Same, it's super interesting

[atomic quail]

pfffffft

[sacred agate]

And how they wanted to out bounties on them

[indigo summit]

We don't got snakes 😛

[indigo summit]

That's so weird

[weary marlin]

arc raider players are gonna play marathon and then complain that PvP is in the game

[atomic quail]

the whole 'mass produced buildings for a colony that ultimately failed to unknown forfces' is great. im amazed they kept the colourscheme they did and still managed to make it moody with the lighting

[sacred agate]

Childish

[whole flame]

Have Bungie said if there's going to be another playtest?

[weary marlin]

yea, an open preview but there’s no date for it yet

[indigo summit]

For sure, I hope it doesn't ruin the reputation of this game even more than it kinda already is because those criticisms are stupid

[atomic quail]

open preview event before rleease. no date announced yet
