fuck embed fail..

[still field]

Do you guys think a sniper or shotgun/smg would be a better secondary

[trim ivy]

no embed permed

[vague hound]

Thick people 🥵

[barren gazelle]

Is that not a good thing

[vague hound]

It is

[rough sail]

marathon hype has me so fucked up, man

[vague hound]

I never said its bad

[vestal zealot]

Watever someone rips from your cold dead runners corpse

[fossil cliff]

Highly recommend both of the books after Neuormancer and the short stories in burning chrome all really good

[worn knoll]

is it like rectangles and squares bc I'm fat as fuck but I'm MIDA....

or am I spiritually NuCal

[sullen ridge]

if you equip shotgun you will get stuck in a long range engagement. if you pick sniper you will encounter a full team in a building.

[molten flax]

almost as bad as PEAKGUARD?

[vague hound]

No it means ur a traitor

Be one with ur spirit

[worn knoll]

I started as sekgen...

[still field]

Exactly lmao

[worn knoll]

what am I, a triple agent?

[rough sail]

buddy just choose a long range and a short range weapon

[sacred agate]

Yeah I got the whole 4 book pack, I read the short stories that were part of Neuromancer world, cool to see returning characters and a bit on their past life

[vestal zealot]

Will bullets be limited

[vague hound]

You are the girls that stand on street at night then

[sullen ridge]

very

[worn knoll]

thank god there's two weapon slots

[sullen ridge]

not arc raiders tier but

[vague hound]

I cant say that word here i think

[trim ivy]

the people yearn for HYPERDEMON.

[vague hound]

💀

[barren gazelle]

I need more boulets. Bigger weapons, bigger weapons

[sullen ridge]

in the november playtest i used to run out of ammo quite often

[still field]

Fun police here

[worn knoll]

the censors force creativity

[vague hound]

Lol

[sullen ridge]

but that's just me being king von and magdumping everything

[barren gazelle]

Didn't that feel bad with how often you fight uesc

[worn knoll]

WW2 Germany is a common phrase when talking about pathways into darkness

[sacred agate]

Yeah that runner supposedly became what is now theif, still possible we could see her become another shell in one of the current class lines but that’s speculation

[worn knoll]

otherwise they Get You™

[sullen ridge]

i used to run out of ammo SPECIFICALLY because i magdumped the clankers

[vague hound]

This is the earth

It is a planet

We love the earth

[rough sail]

proof?

[vague hound]

It is our home

[rough sail]

tau ceti iv is my home

[worn knoll]

Mars is my home

fuck earth

fuck the UESC

[molten flax]

bet

[vestal zealot]

It was my home for two marathons

[trim ivy]

get yoinked

[vague hound]

Cybertron is my home

Im priming it

[worn knoll]

2018 flashbacks

[sullen ridge]

and it's still something i'm worried about for the health of the game tbh, fighting the bots costs a lot in terms of healing and ammo and because the maps are so small it guarantees getting third partied

[rough sail]

just lock in

[sacred agate]

Also the Neuromancer ending was a little sad, but it was fitting because the characters got to live life their way

[molten flax]

says the unemployed

[rough sail]

stfu i applied to 3 jobs earlier

[vague hound]

U jobless until u get one homie

🥶

[molten flax]

that was NOT tuff vro

[vague hound]

😞

Ok

[sullen ridge]

i feel like mthn is going to play quite differently from other extraction shooters. my currently planned strat is using rook until i gather a decent loadout, then use the loadout to attempt to complete the missions and leave immediately after finising a mission

[rough sail]

"u this thing until u that thing"

[fossil cliff]

The tv adaptation, if it fucks up Molly. I might become severly depressed.

[vestal zealot]

Had that ever worked?

[sullen ridge]

dunno. never played the playtest with rook.

[molten flax]

wrong mentality

[worn knoll]

Behold: The Gear Fearful!

[molten flax]

you WILL instaruch

[wide heath]

You have to play around mindful and dont engage to bots if not needed

[rough sail]

me personally im going to kill everyone

[vague hound]

Weak ahh mindset

[vague hound]

Now this is what we talkin bout

[fossil cliff]

I just hope they change the one contract at a time, I really don't like the limitation

[sullen ridge]

if you could stealth around bots.. but i didn't see that being an option in the test and i do not have faith in the tiger engine being able to do that

[keen zinc]

Highguard steam players just went UP 🔥 #HighguardSweep

[rough sail]

gonna make sure to find and kill thunderlord appreciator every single time they load into a lobby

[vague hound]

🥀

[vestal zealot]

The first trailer runners look sick the hero runners are why i kinda uninterested

[sacred agate]

How can you go up from 8 billion

[worn knoll]

I mean with rook you can just use. The mask.

[wide heath]

It was very possible

[vague hound]

I love thunderlord

[molten flax]

simple: just simply create more people

why tf did i use simply twice

[keen zinc]

By going up to 16 billion (Oceania servers only)

[rough sail]

ill create more people with assassin

[sullen ridge]

what if i did puppy eyes and offered you burger..

[vague hound]

That one guy from antartica will be on marathon too

[sacred agate]

Fair enough, will you at least give it a try before presuming you won’t like it because of the runners

[trim ivy]

unregistered people just got registered to play Peakguard

Did we just duplicate earth glitch?

[fossil cliff]

This u?

[small nexus]

Theif will be over powered

[sullen ridge]

marathon release -> mass MIDA mpreg event -> population doubles -> 16 billion highguard players

[vestal zealot]

Im thinking of trying it i tried arc raiders and i was annoyed the first time i was spawn camped

[trim ivy]

[molten flax]

YEAAA MPREG WHOOO

[vestal zealot]

My fingers to big for these phone keyboards gift and curse

[sullen ridge]

i wonder what the social dynamics will be for bosses that kinda need multiple crews to kill. in ARC whenever i was present for a boss fight everyone involved kinda gathered up and said what they needed from the corpse and it was quite civil

[vague hound]

Who want a footlong sandwich ?

never trust an assassin... 🙁

[sacred agate]

Feetlong

[trim ivy]

now, I wouldn't take that level of disrespect, this calls for a staring competition, who looks away or blinks loses.

[vague hound]

Bro what flavour or filling ?

😭

[rough sail]

feet flavor

[thorn sequoia]

first contact with aliens just happened!!!

not via satellite or manned vessel but highguard matchmaking!

[vague hound]

Yall freaks

Filling?!?

[dense timber]

A squad is 4 players 🤓👆

[vestal zealot]

I will install if u want

[dense timber]

fuck

[thorn sequoia]

steam decks purpose is peakguard

[molten flax]

wrap it up lena

[rough sail]

fuck you

[sacred agate]

Ur gonna have to play a 10 min tutorial

Maybe 15 min

[dense timber]

I did play like uhhhhhh idk maybe 5 or so matches of highguard earlier bc I wanted my own opinion of it

[vague hound]

U wish u could fuck phoon

[molten flax]

what

[rough sail]

its HONESTLY not THAT bad

[vague hound]

He nonchalant as hell

[dense timber]

it's

fine..? lots of feature creep imo

and idk what the art director was smoking

[vague hound]

I already did played 1 game and uninstalled 🥀

[rough sail]

when it gets hectic its pretty fun imo but it just feels like they picked out a bunch of features out of a hat

[thorn sequoia]

lmao i cant play it

[trim ivy]

I haven't played Peakguard, but is it just me or does that game look like one of those minecraft gamemodes ?

[spare shoal]

I managed to double that and got hella bored after 2nd match lol

[thorn sequoia]

linux moment

[sacred agate]

I uninstalled midway through tutorial unfortunately, I didn’t reach the peak

[dense timber]

yeah, this is what I thought too

[vague hound]

Yeah lol

[keen crow]

i dunno i've never ever seen so boring graphics/characs, art design in general... so lame and uninspiring... anyway...

[dense timber]

3v3 is craaazy for maps that big

[molten flax]

GET BACK ON WARDEN, WE HAVE A BASE TO RAID

[vague hound]

If it was 4v4 or 5v5 it woudve been great i think

[rough sail]

my first match was AWFUL but the next few that i did were pretty fun, the back and forth is neat

[sacred agate]

What is warden :/

[dense timber]

no that's what I'm saying, the art direction is all over the place, there's no distinct identity

[vague hound]

3v3 for that big a map is boring

[spare shoal]

Shooting feels satisfying but I wouldnt expect less from Apex devs

[rough sail]

i think 3v3 is fine? youre often able to teleport to their/your base and stuff

[spare shoal]

Emotes are cool i guess

[keen crow]

yeah it's some form of fantasy/sf salad...

[sacred agate]

Not as satisfying as marathon tho

[thorn sequoia]

art station gaming

[spare shoal]

Didnt play marathon yet but bungies gunplay was always superior in past

[vestal zealot]

/destiny

[sinful venture]

Yall think I can get this to run on a Steam Deck if I use Windows as the OS?

[twilit sparrow]

highguard is the result of when you get a californian activist and make him believe his art choices from tumblr are good and make a game around it

they should have used gen AI

[trim ivy]

idk about perfomance

but yeah you could probably

[dense timber]

that's a good way to put it lol "how can I have the broadest appeal"

tradeoff being, it's just so "safe" and bland

[trim ivy]

I heard of some peeps sideloading windows to play games that aren't proton friendly

[vestal zealot]

Gunplay is always peak its the rest im worried about we went from halo guns vehicles ships to destiny guns vehicles to msrsthon guns… just guns

[sinful venture]

eh if it runs 40 fps on low ill be happy tbh

[rough sail]

marathon guns look sick though???

[sacred agate]

It’s so broad that it becomes so niche tho, it’s medieval mystic gunplay with bears n horses 😭

[vestal zealot]

True

[dense timber]

I love the marathon gun designs

[rough sail]

i love the design of everything in the game

[sinful venture]

funny enough i started playing halo mcc now im playing destiny 2 f2p, but mostly im just waiting for this and thinking about pre ordering the deluxe, just love the world look of the game

[sacred agate]

They look 3d printed tho

[rough sail]

thats the point

[molten flax]

ngl 11k people playing rn is honestly not that atrocious considering its rep

[rough sail]

they ARE 3d printed

[dense timber]

they

I mean yeah, they are

[spare shoal]

Lol

[twilit sparrow]

A case where lore literally ruins the visuals, it is what it is

[sacred agate]

Bait

[vestal zealot]

I like the art the design but thats what i hate all this cool shht to be basic as hell

[dense timber]

🤨

[sacred agate]

Nah they’re fire

[dense timber]

"the 3D printed guns look 3D printed"

[trim ivy]

up to thee, but I am thinking about waiting till the lil open beta before release at the end of feb.

[twilit sparrow]

I would let it slide if they had slick animations

[vestal zealot]

My 3d printer would disagree

[sacred agate]

Yeah I got you with a classic

[thorn sequoia]

to be fair destiny and marathon bring in enhanced movement & abilities which i think are a huge part of how it feels to play

[sinful venture]

its Barbie Halo Extraction

[rough sail]

i cannot bring myself to play destiny 2, reinstalled it the other day

[sinful venture]

i love it

[vestal zealot]

I aggravated the shht out of bungie they probably got me on a wanted poster

[thorn sequoia]

whoever finds player skating movement tech

[dense timber]

I played destiny ever since d1s alpha and I finally took the needle out after final shape

[thorn sequoia]

dont tell bungie lmao

please

[sinful venture]

eh i havent bought anything for D2 i just play the free stuff from it which is enough for me

[spare shoal]

Well I was hyped foe Marathon the moment I saw first gameplay footage they showcased and it looks even better now with updates they did to it. I have hope

[rough sail]

i loaded it up earlier and did one solo op and then was just done

[open remnant]

Marathon got some serious competition with Highguard 😏

/jk

[molten flax]

Peakguard no diffs maraslop

[trim ivy]

"Can Marathon compete with Peakguard? /gen" - youtube video incoming.

[sacred agate]

I was super intrigued with the initial trailer where they were running through tunnels and stuff but no gameplay was show

[spare shoal]

Sucks i didnt get into closed test tho cus im EU:(

[rough sail]

highguard is like a 6/10 i dont think it deserves the insane review bomb it

[vestal zealot]

Forreal i was posting everyday about adding shht to destiny i asked for darkness powers psychic powers more tank missions

[twilit sparrow]

It aint that bad but its already at 10k players on steam

Hopefully the art department nevers work in a game again

[spare shoal]

Its not briliant, it aint poop but its hella bland atm

[rough sail]

its definitely bland but its pretty fun

[sacred agate]

Can they really keep it going with just having 3v3 on that giant map

[open remnant]

The extra charismatic voice actors help tho right? 🥹

[spare shoal]

We had fun w my wife but like, theres no character or depth to the game:(

[rough sail]

the character voices are so cringe

[twilit sparrow]

The giant map aint the main thing, the raiding is and 3v3 is mostly fine in the castles, but this should be a 5v5 at least with bigger castle maps and faster TTK

[rough sail]

i dont really have an issue with the map size though, its not like youre meant to explore the entire thing or anything

youre going in and grabbing loot for 2 minutes and then getting the shieldbreaker and going straight to their base

[sacred agate]

The maps look plenty big enough for 5v5 from what I’ve seen

[twilit sparrow]

The current castle size would support 5v5 with much faster TTK

[celest coyote]

they're pretty rough

[vestal zealot]

How many teams per map

[spare shoal]

2

[sacred agate]

2

[open remnant]

HG's game loop just seems very one note to me. I can't imagine wanting to keep playing the same thing over and over

[twilit sparrow]

Wait till you realize CSGO has millions of players

[rough sail]

most competitive games have the same game loop lol

[sacred agate]

That’s different tho

[spare shoal]

Thats nostalgia and investment at this point 😂

[twilit sparrow]

Is it though

[sacred agate]

Idk how to explain it but ik he’s right

[whole flame]

Yeah, there's people that've spent $50K on Cs2

[sacred agate]

Also SND NEVER gets old

[vestal zealot]

Depends some games have good rin se and repeat i been playing angels fall first for the last six months with only 3 maps

[twilit sparrow]

Everybody is entitled to spend money on slop

[open remnant]

Yeah but CSGO is made to get right to the point and that's it's strength.

[echo laurel]

Just play deadlock the better game

[twilit sparrow]

ewwww

[whole flame]

You think cs is slop?

[twilit sparrow]

If HG has a bland art style, deadlock comes close second

[rough sail]

deadlock has a cool style wtf do you mean

[twilit sparrow]

Its f2p basic b*tch game slop

[echo laurel]

Deadlock is also in early access so I give it slack

[twilit sparrow]

True, the game aint finished

[whole flame]

Alright you've never played it or you are rage baiting

[sacred agate]

The whole camo market is lol, and the fact people were investing in it

[twilit sparrow]

I dont play f2p games, I dont like slop

[sacred agate]

Bait

[vestal zealot]

But your name is…

[echo laurel]

The market existing doesn’t constitute the game being slop

It exists because people buy into it

[whole flame]

Cs2 is has the highest skill cap of any first person shooter that's the main reason it's so popular

[grim ether]

random is not skill

[vestal zealot]

Slop dinner

[sacred agate]

How can you prove that, why should I beleive that claim

[open remnant]

The whole reinforcing walls before you go to loot. Like why does that even exist? it's just a another hoop to jump through before you can get to the fighting

[trim ivy]

Simple system with a few variables but many configurations, aka, its simple it allows for a lot of stuff to happen.

[sacred agate]

That would stir up some serious debate in pro circles

[twilit sparrow]

Yes, I deny slop

Make a good game worth 30+ bucks and Ill play it, f2p games are low quality cheater playgrounds

[sacred agate]

Okay you gave the most valid argument against f2p games I won’t lie

[dense timber]

this is what I meany by feature creep, it's like they had a guy in the office who was constantly like "-and then we should add [a]. and [b]. and [c]. ohh and [d]. and [e]. and-"

[keen crow]

not The Finals... this one is damn good (but oh my very difficult...)!!!

[thorn sequoia]

in theory it could be my perfect game at its worst the game still felt fucking great. Wonderful setting too, just

[sacred agate]

So many cheaters

[twilit sparrow]

Dont worry, Tarkov costs 50 dollars and its infested aswell, but they got player market because these russians cant game design

[thorn sequoia]

its covered in yynow

Sludge™

[rough sail]

the destiny 2 OST will forever be peak though

[sacred agate]

Sounds like the worst possible thing

[fast salmon]

TRUE

[echo laurel]

Destiny is in a really bad spot in general the whole landscape is screwed atm

[twilit sparrow]

I am not gonna lie brother, Finals might be decent but from the moment I saw a teammate wear a panda suit and have a bodybuilder male character with pink ponytails I knew it was slop

[sacred agate]

But I’ve been maining that the past couple days cause marathon got me wanting to play multiplayer

[keen crow]

I'm not sure to have seen cheaters, but i have saw people that really know the game for sure...

[signal basin]

I so agree its not worth the convenience for it to be free to put up with the cheaters, overpriced mtx, and drip feed content

[bold blaze]

They should've announced Destiny 3 after final shape

I just can't bring myself to care for the new dlc's

[thorn sequoia]

what hurts me is narratively its taken a fascinating direction post TFS

[twilit sparrow]

For real dude, some of these 'developers' even put 300 dollar skin in their game like APEX

[rough sail]

im playing halo 1 for the first time on the MCC and its annoying how you can only change the music to be the OG via the mission select screen

[twilit sparrow]

Its all slop

[sacred agate]

Denial

[keen crow]

it suit the lore of the game. it's a virtual game in the game

[signal basin]

Smh....

[twilit sparrow]

Slop lore
Unreal tournament is the supreme tournament

Didnt need pink ponytails or panda suits

[rough sail]

whats wrong with a male character having pink ponytail

🤨

[twilit sparrow]

Nothing other than it looks stupid

[rough sail]

just dont put it on you chud

[tall geyser]

Oh hell nah

[keen crow]

you can enjoy killi ng theim lol, that could be the point 😉

[twilit sparrow]

You still violate my eyes if others players use it, thats COD levels of arguement ''DONT USE NICKI MINAJ THEN!!!!!''

[echo laurel]

I do think the finals is a coworker game unfortunately

[twilit sparrow]

It has the best destruction in a game, they really cooked

[sacred agate]

What is this unreal tournament game I keep hearing of?

[rough sail]

i dont like the finals but i think complaining about something like that is meaningless when games have bigger issues

[trim ivy]

is it ? I haven't heard of the finals in a long time I thought that game had faded away.

[twilit sparrow]

2000s era pvp game that reached peak

[sacred agate]

There are definitely some uncs in clans

[dense timber]

unreal tournament

it's been 84 years........

[sacred agate]

Made by who

[trim ivy]

Peak tournament

[molten flax]

mid game with not so smart players

[shadow plover]

hi

[keen crow]

I don't care, I only Play TDM in the finals. I just like the fight and destructibility... pure chaos!!!

meow :3c

[celest coyote]

hello kitler

[tender ingot]

Mrow

[sacred agate]

Wdymm, highguard players are literally know for being slow

[twilit sparrow]

You have a point but the theme of the game is a meme, you never see a character that you can relate, its all modern tiktok slop

Finals is made for tiktokers

this is grim

[molten flax]

nah PEAKguard only attracts those who have been enlightened

[signal basin]

Makes me wish id software would take a break with doom and stop screwing around and make another quake game for all platforms

[echo laurel]

I feel like high guard would have never have launched well considering the performance issues and barrier to entry. That being said it’s possible the find a niche

[twilit sparrow]

For real but i think Machinegames has more passion for Quake than idSoft

[rough sail]

peakguard is only fully understood if youve followed the eightfold path to enlightenment 🧘‍♀️

[twilit sparrow]

They made 2 excellent campaigns for the remasters

[keen crow]

I don't believe that tiktoker could sustain to be completely anihilated for days before grasping the basis of the game...

[sacred agate]

You’ll say that until your teams act so oblvious that you wanna watch them die

[dense timber]

what are the barriers to entry, in your opinion?

[echo laurel]

It’s kind of a lot going on for a lot of new players

[tender ingot]

Highguard sweep game of the century

[signal basin]

I like doom i think everyone does but if your not going to do a multi-player component then please let someone else do it

[twilit sparrow]

I went back and looked at the characters from older games and how did we come to this brother

[echo laurel]

You have to assume the vast majority of new players are idiots

[rough sail]

first highguard match my friends and i had no idea what was going on, but you catch on rather quickly

[keen crow]

ugliness ?

[trim ivy]

I'd say one thing about Unreal, get a man on Kovaak's and he will aim for a day, get a man on Unreal Tournament aim training duel maps and he shall never complain about his aim.

[echo laurel]

Because most of the time they are and people that are confused are not people that usually want to stick around

[twilit sparrow]

Doom eternal is the best arcade fps ever made, Dark ages was ok, 2016 was boring for me, they are very talented devs also their games run amazingly

But Hugo martin does not like Quake

or does not relate to it that much

[keen crow]

I know it's insane, welcome to the real world... anyway the system and general design is top fps in The Finals...

[sacred agate]

I liked 2016 better than eternal, just cause of style

[echo laurel]

2016 is so boring to me lol

Maybe that’s just me

Eternal was way more fun

[twilit sparrow]

I never cared about 2016 that much other than it has pretty graphics, the gameplay is so bland and 1 sided

All you need is ballista/SSG

doom eternal has actual combat design

[rough sail]

making a marathon clan, you can only join if you like highguard 😈😈😈

[signal basin]

If doom eternal had a uac doom marine multiplayer with even starts, power weapons and consumables in map like quake it would have been huge

[twilit sparrow]

I dont know man, I grew up on arena shooters and even I dont care about them

I dont think arena shooters will ever be back, the genre has evolved

[signal basin]

Unfortunately you're right

[rough sail]

highguard just got an 18gb patch

😱

[twilit sparrow]

they are the best version of TDM ever, with map control, armors, hp packs etc but its just boring at this point

[echo laurel]

Highguard hype

[sinful venture]

anybody know how wipes are going to work in this?

[sacred agate]

Everything gone

[tender ingot]

Peakguard isn’t for simple minded chuddingtons

[sacred agate]

I’ve requested some form of a prestige system so expect it to be there

[sinful venture]

dope

[signal basin]

What runner is everyone's main going to be? I know mine is destroyer but honestly bungie has made all these runner shells appealing to me.

[tender ingot]

Prestige system would be cool

Thief

[echo laurel]

Thief fs

[sinful venture]

Thief

[sacred agate]

Yeah they probably won’t do anything like that lol

[tender ingot]

Yuno ball

[echo laurel]

I’m ab to destiny grapple tf out of this game

[tender ingot]

Was a strand main in D2 war never changes vro…

[signal basin]

Strand user detected

[echo laurel]

Strand Hunter forever

[sacred agate]

But I have seen other people talk about wipe prestige’s as well and I’m sure I’m not the only one who included it in feedback

[trim ivy]

dunno, torn between Vandal, Recon and Assassin.

[tender ingot]

Strand Hunter made me buss when it came out

[twilit sparrow]

Prestige for boasting value would be great, not included in the wipes, you get some skins etc - i hope its grindy af tho

[signal basin]

My top three as of now are destroyer, thief, and triage

[echo laurel]

I hope the skins actually look good tho

[sacred agate]

Sounds like ranked mode reward system w getting skins

[signal basin]

Same, the deluxe edition skins look neat

[echo laurel]

I want to get envious of someone with prestige

[thorn sequoia]

honestly with highguard i cant even ballpark the sort of vibe it was going for

marathon we've all collectively got a general idea of the style. (lots of color, blocky 3d printed look, etc)

concord wasn't appealing i cant lie but I can at least pin point its inspirations of golden age sci-fi novels/comics & that sort of look you'd see in older low budget sci-fi film/tv. Genuinely think if it had a few more major art passes it could have started to work

highguard uh

horse?

[sacred agate]

Thief

[tender ingot]

Thief, Vandal, Recon are prolly my three picks

[twilit sparrow]

idk how ranked system will work in marathon, it probably will suck if its just ranked mode as a seperate mode though

[tender ingot]

Nah deadass 😭

[echo laurel]

Triage will also be super good don’t sleep on the

[twilit sparrow]

Ranked system should be objective based, otherwise you split the community between 2 modes and 4+ maps

[echo laurel]

Insta res on ur bagged teammate will be nuts

[sacred agate]

I know how it works and it’s very cool imo if they keep it that way

[twilit sparrow]

yeah there's a reason most successful exfill games dont have ranked modes, or they have them in the form of high difficulty maps

[trim ivy]

Idk, I don't think a ranked system really fits into a extraction shooter.

[twilit sparrow]

Ranked modes as seperate modes suck in exfill games

[tender ingot]

What do u guys think abt the ARC community being split between PVE and PVP asking for exclusive modes n shi

[trim ivy]

A leaderboard would be cool but it should just stay at that.

[echo laurel]

Arc community is soft

[kindred vigil]

ion know

[twilit sparrow]

typical redditor behaviour crying about pvp

[kindred vigil]

Ion kno

[sinful venture]

ARC community got soft hands

[sacred agate]

Idk

[echo laurel]

“Don’t shoot”

[tender ingot]

Lmaoooo

[earnest frigate]

Marton got nothing on peakguard

[tender ingot]

[earnest frigate]

we're doomed guys

[thorn sequoia]

wayyyy too much infighting

[trim ivy]

I think its a decision, probably one of the most decisions of all time, that's for sure.

[sacred agate]

I’m sure similar stuff will happen here not even gonna lie

[echo laurel]

It’ll be a problem once marathon raids drop I’m sure

[twilit sparrow]

HUNT Showdown had leaderboards and removed them because it promotes shit gameplay and exploits

[hearty olive]

Focus up M

[twilit sparrow]

we dont need ranked or leaderboards in an exfill game

[sacred agate]

I mean clearly people are already going to be upset there’s a ranked mode even tho in games w ranked you don’t feel the player divide nor are you really affected by it

[thorn sequoia]

oh i dread the idea of destiny community + extraction shooter

[trim ivy]

It only works if there is some kind of separate queue like Tarkov Arena.

[echo laurel]

That’s usually how they rank up though

[twilit sparrow]

the only thing a pure seperate ranked mode will achieve is people crouching everywhere and waiting to get cheap kills

[tender ingot]

wasn’t ranked confirmed to be coming a while ago

[sacred agate]

Maybe in low ranks assuming matchmaking is dependent on rank

[tender ingot]

sounds like hell to design

[signal basin]

Arc raiders community seems toxic and overly trigger happy. We bungie, Halo, Destiny, and marathon players are more a much more nuanced breed of gamers.

[thorn sequoia]

I like the idea that newer players being loosely grouped together, maybe some smaller lobbies before being moved to a general wider pool

[twilit sparrow]

Nah bro, there's a reason no other extraction game has no ranked, this is not the right place to reinvent the wheel

[thorn sequoia]

gotta let new players acclimate and get a feel for the game while retaining that risk

[sacred agate]

Um the whole side of Arc player base that cries when people shoot them in a PvP game are the ridiculous ones

How dare someone shoot me in a game where they have no idea if I’m a threat, they’re supposed to assume I’m no threat at all

[tender ingot]

Arc community hub on steam is so funny to read bro

[wooden onyx]

i quit arc for exactly that reason man

[tender ingot]

Why u complaining u got shot in a PvP game 💔

[echo laurel]

Cause I had good loot duh

[sacred agate]

Idc about inside the box thinking whatsoever

[signal basin]

Yeah thats ridiculous like you know what you signed up for playing it. That's like all of us playing gambit on D2 and crying when we get into a firefight with players

[trim ivy]

At most, if the game MUST have some time of grouping it should probably be like based on gear, but then again the maps should already kind of do that already.

[echo laurel]

Arnt the maps themselves kind of the progression of the game anyway

[sacred agate]

Okay but not all of us play Destiny here just cause we’re in a Bungie game server but yeah

[twilit sparrow]

You have 4+ maps by choice, multiple MMR brackets, this is already splitting the fanbase enough

[tender ingot]

Arc without PvP just does not make any sense to me. I guess the bots are hard to fight yea but other than that it just takes out so much of the risk and fun of the game

risk is the game vro

[sacred agate]

Oh no there are multiple maps, they’re SPLITTING THE PLAYERS

[signal basin]

Just using a example i dont play destiny as much as I used to mainly halo player

[rough sail]

Shooting people in arc and hearing them cry and scream is the best part

[tender ingot]

They couldn’t handle Arachne

[molten flax]

holy fuck i hate mouse accel

[sacred agate]

That’s what made watching Arc streams really enjoyable, the interactions were ridiculous

[thorn sequoia]

the destiny community is particularly bad
i dont think i know any other community that has gotten sued by the dev for harassing employees

[trim ivy]

yeah thats what I pointed, like the maps already have differing level of difficulty that requires like differing levels of gear.
but eh y'know, I don't even really think it should have a hard solo/duo/trio queue just a weighted one like you get 2 trios, 3 duos and 4 solos or something like that.

[molten flax]

the guy who made mouse accel will get karmic consequences

[sacred agate]

I don’t get your point about 4 maps already splitting the player base, sorry but I just can’t reason with that lol

[twilit sparrow]

yeah thats how it works bro, considering the map choice is on the player's hand, its not a lobby press PLAY join a pvp match game, also the maps have 30 mins timers

[trim ivy]

the guy getting reincarnated on his next life as a sea cucumber:

[sacred agate]

What are we supposed to do with thousands of players, modes and maps arent gonna make any real difference

Splitting the play base argument is so weird to me

[thorn sequoia]

Honestly as someone who probably wont end up actively playing (not my kinda genre) do please record and/or screenshot all the narrative content & particularly eye catching locations

[twilit sparrow]

Tarkov is the most played exfill game, go and see how long it takes to find a queue brother

And it does not even have ranked mod

lmao

[tender ingot]

This would make a sound isekai slop

[echo laurel]

How may players spawn into the map on tarkov I’ve never played it

[trim ivy]

it has, I haven't played a extraction shooter that doesn't have any sort requirement for some of the higher tiered maps

[sacred agate]

You also said tarkov cost 50 dollars and I already know a ton of issues and mishandling a with that game alongside cheating

[dusty axle]

15k concurrent players on Steam, far from the most played

Maybe back in 2019 or something

[sacred agate]

But it’s a matter of splitting the playerbase apparently, it’s just a dead game

[twilit sparrow]

Majority of tarkov players are on BSG launcher since its been in EA for like 8 years and also its not peak time in europe

[trim ivy]

its like from 10 or 12 up to 18 depending on the map.

[thorn sequoia]

isekai pitches
fantasy character gets isekai'd into sci-fi (or visa vera)
fantasy character gets isekai'd into another fantasy world
i get isekai'd into ur mom

[twilit sparrow]

in peak times tarkov gets 40k on steam alone

[twilit sparrow]

still the most played exfill game

[molten flax]

feet

[dusty axle]

https://steamdb.info/app/3932890/charts/

21k peak

[echo laurel]

Yeah but keep in mind marathon will be crossplay

[rough sail]

🎩
🐸
👔

[dusty axle]

Even that chinese clone ABI gets more players

[echo laurel]

Your getting Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players

[tender ingot]

Doesn’t that go to arc now tho technically

It’s consistently above 100k when I check

[sacred agate]

It literally is

[twilit sparrow]

technically yeah, but im not talking playmobile games

[tender ingot]

💀

[twilit sparrow]

i am talking actual extraction games

[kindred vigil]

Playmobile

[molten flax]

dumbass frog doesnt even have his hat on

[dusty axle]

Delta Force or Arena Breakout would be the most played extraction games, if we exclude Arc

[sacred agate]

Tarkov is a real game for BIG BOYS, MEN play tarkov cause action packed sim tacticool

[stone viper]

I don’t think that accounts for players not on Steam. It’s been a stand-alone client for most of its life cycle right?

[echo laurel]

Marathon not being locked to one platform will 100% make the queue time problem not as impactful

[sacred agate]

Wait no way Delta is doing better than Tarkov?

[trim ivy]

almost a decádé at this point.

[twilit sparrow]

neither have many players, Tarkov pulls numbers on steam and 90% of its players on BSG launcher

[thorn sequoia]

the only good game ofc is
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

[twilit sparrow]

it doesnt lol

[thorn sequoia]

(no way its called that)

[twilit sparrow]

delta is trash

[sacred agate]

Delta does also have other modes tho, I’m not sure what the ratio looks like tho, the extraction mode is way more fleshed out than the rest

[thorn sequoia]

oh, it is

[dusty axle]

Delta Force hits 100k concurrent players at peak hours which is wild lol

[twilit sparrow]

ABI is much more respectable f2p

[dusty axle]

I'd bet it's higher than Tarkov even if we do include the BSG launcher

[sacred agate]

I got a raid shadow legends trailer on highguard, legit so fitting sorry

[twilit sparrow]

nobody plays DF extraction bro, it has like 3 modes in it

[tender ingot]

None of these games even touch peakguard bro best shi I’ve played in all my 67 years of living vro

[stone viper]

High guard has ads?? Ew

[twilit sparrow]

literally took me 20 mins to find a delta exfill mode match when i tried it 2 months ago

shit is dead

ABI is much better

[sacred agate]

Yeah in between matches 🥀, I meant video oops

[rough sail]

It doesn't, they probably meant the trailer

[trim ivy]

not gonna lie, I thought DF was a combined arms game at first :cluegi:

[twilit sparrow]

its a bad battlefield clone from my own pov

[sacred agate]

Didn’t tarkov release a pay to win thing

[twilit sparrow]

Since the very first early access days

[sacred agate]

For a ton of money

Recently

[twilit sparrow]

More gamma box size and stash size

[sacred agate]

Within a year

[twilit sparrow]

the 200 dollar controversy?

[trim ivy]

its like the same thing as Slop said iirc.

[sacred agate]

Yes

[twilit sparrow]

that was for PVE mode

[trim ivy]

omg bingus hii!!!

[sacred agate]

200 dollar pve slop

[runic ridge]

highguard dead already not at top 100 now RIP

[nova whale]

It’s out?

[trim ivy]

it was a mod before BTW

[twilit sparrow]

Nah its not the same as mod

Tarkov single player is genuinely good I hear, with story, branching paths, diff endings

[sacred agate]

Not out of my top 100

[runic ridge]

out yes 100k to 10k- now

-700 players reamining to go top 101

[trim ivy]

now thats interesting, I thought it was just like multiplayer but you do the missions more linearly

[runic ridge]

probably in 2-3 hours

[sacred agate]

I hate when that’s what campaigns are

I feel like that’s what overwatch campaign would be

[twilit sparrow]

Nah you learn about what happened to tarkov itself, it has animated npcs, cutscenes, story branching and paths you can take

[trim ivy]

thats baller.

[nova whale]

Omg, I saw someone say
High (over) guard (watch) like literally a synonym of Over watch

[twilit sparrow]

I dont play anything Nikita makes anymore since his open support for war but I hear its very good SP

[runic ridge]

overwatch gameplay is 10x better then highguard

[rough sail]

League Of Valorant Paladins: 6 Siege

[sacred agate]

At least overwatch sounds cool, what even is a highguard

[nova whale]

What’s the story there? Not across the controversy

[sacred agate]

Very paladins, I got that from the initial trailer

[twilit sparrow]

He put some anti ukrainian things in tarkov, hidden and also supports a russian war group

So I aint playing his slop

[runic ridge]

i think the marathon is extraction shooter version of the finals, looks like a lot

[trim ivy]

I thought it would be like that too

[nova whale]

Scummy

[twilit sparrow]

it is what it is lol

[sacred agate]

Yeah people say that and I feel that way even tho Marathon is way smoother, has way more character, and more engaging gameplay and depth

[trim ivy]

I think unless blizzard did some real workit would be a damned if you do damned if you don't.

[runic ridge]

yes its pro max version 😄

[trim ivy]

I actually heard it being compared to Apex

I might need to hop on some LG duels to get my tracking up

[sacred agate]

True

There is very little depth to loadouts in the finals imo

And the maps are very forgettable

[trim ivy]

something I've been wondering, leaning isn't a feature in Marathon is it ?

[rough sail]

no

[sacred agate]

Leaning would really slow down close quarter encounters and remove some of the high speed tension

I think it’s a cool feature but it’s never really all that good and I’d prefer without it

[runic ridge]

there is no manual leaning but characters seems like leaning like 10% angle automatically

[trim ivy]

I like leaning, but it doesn't generally go well with fast paced movement.

[twilit sparrow]

Νo leaning, you have a plethora of abilities and grenades to flush out enemies or push

[sacred agate]

Ig a slight strafe lean thats a thing in some games

[twilit sparrow]

You also cant air strafe so you cant peak by jumping and cover again

its good

[trim ivy]

so only shoulder peeks.

[runic ridge]

for me destiny 2 is an art, and they know what they are doing. so marathon wont fail as i guess

there will be d2 players + arc players + casuals

[twilit sparrow]

Gotta show your body to peak corners

[runic ridge]

so there must be min 100k active all time in a long term

[sacred agate]

I don’t think so

[twilit sparrow]

My bet would be 50-70k on steam as long term, release would probably be 100k+

[trim ivy]

vas

[kindred vigil]

100k kinda pushing it icl

[trim ivy]

is there only ferrari peeking then ?

[runic ridge]

release 200k, long term 80-100k

[twilit sparrow]

Nah I doubt it for steam alone

[sacred agate]

No peaking just play the game

[twilit sparrow]

Marathon aint exactly mainstream, its a hardcore shooter

[runic ridge]

i mean steam only

[rough sail]

Release will be like 50-60k on steam

[trim ivy]

I need to peeeeeek broo

I can't peak without peek

[runic ridge]

xantares peek

[sacred agate]

And it’s apparently a niche aesthetic

[twilit sparrow]

The only complaint ive seen regarding art is blocky guns

[runic ridge]

there werent one thing that disturbs me about this game, i hope everything goes well

[trim ivy]

300mph, peekers advantage, 120ms xantares peek ftw.

[sacred agate]

You can’t peak.

[molten flax]

bacon

[wooden onyx]

i can't wait for another 37 days man lä

[runic ridge]

i hope they give playtest at feb 14 to dac level 2-3s 😄

[sacred agate]

Honestly I think marathons aesthetic might be too cool for the mainstream audience, it might not be basic enough for some

[wooden onyx]

i don't even wanna play anything anymore marathon is occupying way too much brain space

[wooden onyx]

100%

[runic ridge]

this is the first time i believe one game that much 😄

[twilit sparrow]

real,
i hope their free weekend does not take place at the same time as resident evil release

[sacred agate]

Yeah it’s been like that for me for the majority of the past couple months

[crimson helm]

Without being thrown out, hate.

Do you think it would be a good idea for Bungie Lanze Marathon 24 hours earlier for those who bought the Deluxe Edition?

Or do you think it would be P2W?

[kindred vigil]

No

[wooden onyx]

i hope the free weekend will convince the homies to give it a chance

[sacred agate]

I have found the ability to play PvP games again tho because I just need something with all this build up for marathon rn

[kindred vigil]

just release it at once brah

[twilit sparrow]

p2w

[wooden onyx]

literally all my friends are fucking haters

[void laurel]

Hello all, so hyped for this game!

[runic ridge]

they can give us chance to play 24h earlier to test more

forza horizon 6 made it

[sacred agate]

No, just do extra beta access, definitely don’t give them a head starts that P2W

[rough sail]

Bros name is chud 😭😭😭

[runic ridge]

welcome chud 😄

[sacred agate]

I feel like chud is a common name lately

[trim ivy]

because of the nature of extraction shooters time is more time too loot, which is advantage.

[sacred agate]

Chuddley would be a sick name

[twilit sparrow]

welcome man

[trim ivy]

naming my army of chuds, chuddites.

[sacred agate]

Such a chuddster

[trim ivy]

Paradise lost's

chudemonium

built by chudifer

[kindred vigil]

Chud 🥀

[void laurel]

I'm not sure what it means in American terms but in the UK it's chewing gum 😂

[trim ivy]

its been turned into a internet meme recently

[sacred agate]

Is it stud + chub

[rough sail]

I wanted to know what your pfp was from neeyth so I google lens'd it and you highkey hit me with a limbus company spoiler 😭

[sacred agate]

Chuzz lord = Churd

[mental compass]

do you guys think the nar will be in the new game

[trim ivy]

nar ?

[marble hatch]

i hope marathon will not do the same mistakes as Highguard, and release a 120hz mode for consoles, even if picture quality have to suffer, cross play will be far move advantage to pc if it's not implemented, and they have to communicate more, arc did work out at 60fps because it's 3rd person view and it's way more casual than marathon will be

[mental compass]

https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/Nar

[kindred vigil]

spoiled by a pfp of a game ion Even know about #tragic

[rough sail]

you cooked me

I only checked bc I was almost certain it was from limbus but I just had to make sure

[sacred agate]

Mogged

[trim ivy]

maybe later, the game doesn't seem to have any of the funny guys yet

[earnest frigate]

limbus players ?

in my marton game ?

[wide heath]

i think even destiny has 120 mode on consoles

[mental compass]

nar just interest me, they are the oldest beings (that are still alive) in marathon lore yet the games dont really talk about them lol

[earnest frigate]

peak

[rough sail]

indeed

[earnest frigate]

just realized your pfp lmao

eyes wide shut

[rough sail]

Yeah lol

[trim ivy]

would be cool to have them added later on as PvE

[surreal hawk]

Hi everyone! Can someone tell me why there are nda about the play tests? What positive does nda bring?

[trim ivy]

I imagine the game is going to go that route.

[trim ivy]

NDA means we get hyped for the game cause we have a lack of info.

[vague hound]

[sacred agate]

What about the lhowon route

[karmic sable]

To prevent work in progress stuff being seen as finished

[rough sail]

It's because alphas are often unfinished and unpolished bits of the game that don't represent the final product

[surreal hawk]

So those that did the playtest already did the majority of the game?

[sacred agate]

The surprises don’t get spoiled

[trim ivy]

I'd assume playtest has limited content

[karmic sable]

Also this, so the people who playtested the game dont spoil it

[karmic sable]

Sometimes more than intended and sometimes intended amount

[sacred agate]

It’s like what happens if an artists song gets leaked

If the songs are leaked they underperform cause people are less hyped, not exactly how it works with games but similar concept

[surreal hawk]

I still don’t really get it. Wouldn’t no nda bring in more hype?

[karmic sable]

They went no NDA in April and people thought it was the release version

[sacred agate]

They were under so much scrutiny, no NDA would’ve brought too much attention

[karmic sable]

(Not mentioning the art drama, that’s a whole different can of worms)

[tired junco]

I can;t believe highguard hit 6million players on launch

[sacred agate]

They needed to lock in, it was not the time for marketing

[karmic sable]

Even though the devs said MANY times that it was a still work in progress version

[trim ivy]

Its complicated, because if they don't systems are perceived as final.

and unfortunately the gaming industry is just very very

Impressions first

[sacred agate]

Ultimately we benefited and got a much more polished game than what we would’ve gotten

[timid basin]

just like cyberpunk

released too early and was trash now its great

[karmic sable]

True, but the lifting of the NDA did hurt the game in short time

[timid basin]

but the hype is down

[surreal hawk]

Yeah but right now we are like less than 2 months away. Shouldn’t the nda be lifted by now be w smart move?

[timid basin]

no

[sacred agate]

I got it like 4-5 months in and it was good

[karmic sable]

Also what if a Non NDA’ed platters had a crash that wasn’t found in internal testing

How would that look to the public

[timid basin]

more hype buildup

[sacred agate]

And long term

[timid basin]

ik i played it like a year ago maybe or like couple months and it was good too

[earnest frigate]

especially since the game looks pretty much ready for release since the past playtest

[timid basin]

but they had an issue with finishers only

but it was still good af

[sacred agate]

Why would they let us spoil everything lol

They themselves haven’t showcased the stuff publicly

[timid basin]

if they didnt csre about opinions about putting off the release amd just released later the game would have more success

cuz the hype was insane

[surreal hawk]

That’s what’s I’m afraid of. So players that tested it have already experienced everything?

[sacred agate]

NDA’s are not a bad thing

[sacred agate]

I didn’t say playtesters experienced everything, I meant everything they experienced

[karmic sable]

Trust me, even what we experienced is outdated

The only experience that will be most similar to the launch will be at the open access weekend before launch

Where everyone can play it

[surreal hawk]

But if it’s outdated then what’s the harm of showing it?

[timid basin]

i still think its kinda bad cuz i paid early and shi and they ge tto play free

[sacred agate]

Unless it’s like the Arc one which was very limited unless u bought it

[trim ivy]

the anime did some reverse brainwashing.

[sacred agate]

Alright, yk why

[karmic sable]

So that people don’t get the wrong idea about the game

[surreal hawk]

But how wrong idea of the game is the latest playtest really?

[timid basin]

i think the free beta should be like a day after release

[sacred agate]

Hmm

[rough sail]

The playtesting is just that... TESTING. It isn't meant for public viewing

[sacred agate]

Nice, really nice

[surreal hawk]

All I heard is people enjoyed the latest playtest.

[rough sail]

that's all you need to know

[sacred agate]

Yeah it’s just a test nothing more

[surreal hawk]

I’m just extremely skeptical.

[hearty olive]

If ur nosy enough I'm sure you will be able to find information on tests

[tired junco]

100% should be before the release imo

[surreal hawk]

That’s all.

[rough sail]

Then wait for the open beta and play it then

[sacred agate]

Ultimate skeptist

[trim ivy]

they get more preorders is what I'm thinking if they are able to hook some people.

[hearty olive]

How do people in this server have no roles?

[molten flax]

we fucking got aristotle over here

[hearty olive]

I thought u need mctt to be in here

[timid basin]

if i paid for deluxe edition over a month before release i should be the king

[sacred agate]

Was this not a joke?

[timid basin]

not brokies with no money

[wide heath]

this is general lol

[hearty olive]

Oh

OH

[lethal spindle]

anyone know if there are additional playtests before release?

[rough sail]

Open beta weekend sometime next month

[sacred agate]

You don’t get an advantage for pre ordering the game, we don’t promote pay 2 win pal

[trim ivy]

announced a open beta, the only info we got is one week before launch.

[timid basin]

okay so is the open beta the full game ebfore release or is it limited

[lethal spindle]

cheers, thanks

[rough sail]

it's probably the full game

[sacred agate]

Nooo

Stop saying this

[hearty olive]

There is no way they're putting cryo in beta lol

[trim ivy]

wrong info ?

[rough sail]

There is no confirmed date

[sacred agate]

Them here is zero confirmation what weekend it’s happening

[rough sail]

true

[trim ivy]

I thought they said it was like a week before, mb.

[sacred agate]

People misread the post

[tired junco]

it actually was confirmed, they told me it in a whisper. but im not telling you guys hahahah!!

[sacred agate]

They saw weekend before release, but didn’t read the sentence closely

[trim ivy]

I'm gonna UESC suck your memories out of you

yknow the little tentacles that come out of the belly ? yeah that way

[surreal hawk]

For you that have played some of the tests, have you encountered some campers?

[timid basin]

the weekend before and a weekend before are completely different

[rough sail]

Campers are bound to exist in any shooter

[surreal hawk]

Any skills that is good against campers?

[sacred agate]

Not that awful actually

[wide heath]

A lot, but nda

[sacred agate]

Anything that applies in April is not nda

[sick dagger]

[trim ivy]

the open playtest

has some

like Recon's abilities

[marble hatch]

hope so, but in destiny only pvp was at 120, not the whole game

[timid basin]

checking corners

[trim ivy]

no embed perms

[unborn badger]

oh holy jeremy hanna made the destroyer short not austin LOL

for a sec I was like isn't austin working at promo that didn't line up

[sacred agate]

Move fast, don’t put yourself in vulnerable positions, learn what positions are vulnerable, don’t stay still for too long, keep your eyes moving

[surreal hawk]

Yeah, it’s the corner campers I’m most afraid of, especially if the ttk is low.

[sacred agate]

There are scanners at locations that can ping players for you

[surreal hawk]

Lovely!

[timid basin]

sprint jump turn 90 degrees right then 180 left and ure good

[versed holly]

np

[sacred agate]

Blackbird’s ult can reveal campers, Locus, shield can defend you from campers if you turn quick enough, and Glitch can get you out of their cross hairs fast

[sacred agate]

Would be especially good with glitch

[rough sail]

Why'd you reply to a post from April

[trim ivy]

what the hellies

cro went back in time

[trim ivy]

Thief also has the drone

[sacred agate]

How is this from april 2025 when it’s only February

Buddy are you slow

LMFAO

Oh I’ve heard about the drone! That’s a great one.

[sacred agate]

It feels like Feb w all the marathon shit

[trim ivy]

the message is from last year crodie

[sacred agate]

It can give some player intel which is nice imo

Especially since I had a hard time parting with Blackbirds echo pulse

I want the loot goblin runner, and the fact she can get a bit of intel is a huge bonus for me

[surreal hawk]

What does the echo pulse do?

[sacred agate]

It pings nearby runners intermittently, live pings so it tracks them, if void is invis you know where he is

Long cool down but one of the strongest ults

[unborn badger]

went blind for 10 whole minutes at 2 traffic lights cuz I drive a hatchback and the bitch behind me's in a porsche macan with high beams on ✌️

can't wait for everybody to drive tanks in 2035

[surreal hawk]

I’ve heard about this Rook charachter. Can the Rook kill other players?

[sacred agate]

If you run Glitch sliding corners where people might be camping is also something to consider, sliding corners is always good a great counter but it does cost heat in this game

[sacred agate]

They talk about him in the vidoc and runner overview video on Marathons YouTube

[karmic sable]

yes, Its a light version ıf Tarkov Player Scavs from what the devs have publicly stated

[surreal hawk]

Yeah, but the Rook is it only for grabbing loot or can you shoot other players with him as well?

[gilded olive]

Only if they are directly in a vertical or horizontal line

[sacred agate]

They’ve shown what he can do

[sacred agate]

It’s a tough mechanic to get used to, but it’s the price you pay for going in without risking your loot

[gilded olive]

Indeed

[surreal hawk]

Yeah but I heard somewhere that if you see a Rook you can just ignore him. But why would you if he can shoot at you?

[sacred agate]

You shouldn’t tbh, especially if you went in with a loadout and aren’t rook

[unborn badger]

I mean you can technically befriend everybody in a lobby

[trim ivy]

its your own moral choice

but most of the time you are drilling some holes on them.

[surreal hawk]

Yeah I’m not befriending anyone.

[sacred agate]

Don’t tell arc players

[unborn badger]

rooks are like any other runner they just get to hop in mid-match without a loadout and start grabbing with virtually no net loss

and locked to solo cuz why would scavs be teaming lol

[surreal hawk]

Thanks!

[trim ivy]

scavs together stronk

[unborn badger]

would spare a rook if I can honestly lol they're silly goobers

[surreal hawk]

I see rook as a moving care package

[trim ivy]

not very of you brother

you need to skin them

[unborn badger]

rooks got no skin why would I hunt for skinless runners

[trim ivy]

metal skin

[unborn badger]

if anything I'm boosting the cult scavs are some of the most ruthless runners

[trim ivy]

[sacred agate]

I killed a guy who tried to spare me as rook

[unborn badger]

charter approves

[sacred agate]

I also like to torment trios as rook

[kindred vigil]

Huh if u Google a font it will change the webpage font

awesome

[unborn badger]

love that for you honey

[scenic palm]

[unborn badger]

[sacred agate]

[unborn badger]

[flat solstice]

I want to go beyond the horizon

[void laurel]

Does anyone know if the game will have some sort of Wipe/Prestige system?

[unborn badger]

vault wipes every season

[vague hound]

Hallo chuds

[sullen ridge]

the deluxe skins look kinda good but people who rock preorder skins get clowned on rightfully so

[celest coyote]

Leaderboards, DAC. I think it displays points as well as rank but idk

[rough sail]

I got muted for an hour 🥀

[desert vortex]

the bonus cosmetics for the CE is there supposed to be a code or something ?

Awesome! thank you

[stoic atlas]

recon cinematic...TODAY‼️

[ancient rapids]

Gm fellow gamers

[desert vortex]

Really?

[stoic atlas]

1000% believe it

[cold stump]

weekly likely

[kindred vigil]

no probably not

[keen zinc]

if they're releasing daily expect it in 3.5 hours same time as last one

[bronze dome]

Meet the

[keen zinc]

No way, it's

[kindred vigil]

meet the runners

[austere prawn]

im running

[bronze dome]

I wanna take all the cinematic and eat em

[sturdy kiln]

How are people even complaining about the cinematic trailer of destroyer saying that is not representative of the gameplay.

[bronze dome]

I’m not I just like tf2

[austere prawn]

people love to complain

[bronze dome]

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/315932-once-a-little-boy-sent-me-a-charming-card-with

[celest coyote]

That’s beautiful

[bronze dome]

The original cyborg sprite (in m2 and infinity) had a blue stripe up the side so how about that reflection!!

[cold stump]

visual homage and detail of the extract beacon

[celest coyote]

Damn what’d u say

[final egret]

wtf I need to turn on secure boot for Highguard

[bronze dome]

The light blue sprite was called slate too and the default skin has slate markings

[austere prawn]

cause cheaters

[celest coyote]

Worth it

[cold stump]

i just kept launching it without it and it worked

[celest coyote]

I had to open up my pc and short two pins after it decided it didn’t want to load secure boot

[orchid light]

Do you guys think we will have some sort of firing range at release or sometime in the future to be able to test out builds and gun modes?

[cold stump]

nope

[austere prawn]

took a while for it to even get into d2 so doubt

[celest coyote]

There’s a firing range in d2?

[karmic sable]

I hope for it. The devs did say back in April that they also wanted it, but that’s before the delay so we don’t really know

[karmic sable]

Yeah

I believe it got added with Ash and Iron?

Or Edge of Fate

[bronze dome]

Was that the shaxx update?

[orchid light]

But isn't that a must do thing for a game that is putting so much on build crafting?

It's kina hard to try out builds in an extraction shooter game

[cold stump]

edge of fate

[karmic sable]

Technically there IS a firing range but its a devtool, they use it to test if the guns/abilities/cores/implants work

[celest coyote]

Since @trim summit isn’t here I’ll say it: why would fate edge?

[karmic sable]

We dont know if they will polish it and make it player accessible

There was a leak mentioning a firing range but dont trust leaks

[orchid light]

Since they already implemented such a thing in d2 i just hope they do the same for marathon

Specially for guns and attachments

[celest coyote]

If they said they wanted it they probably will, the question would just be if they had time to do it before launch

[orchid light]

I cant imagine my self deciding on what scope i want to use in game before at least try them all out

[tacit kiln]

they better not blindly hate this game like they are doing highguard it makes 0 sense....

[karmic sable]

We are past the blind hate phase as Bungie shows more of the game

[austere prawn]

unfortunately that isnt 100% up to the devs

[karmic sable]

A lot of people do want to try it out positively and I assume the open access weekend will make more people happy

[scenic dragon]

I think they've seen the feedback on that so maybe

[tacit kiln]

thank god i saw the cinematic trailer dropped people are startin to come around im starting to really realize that hive mind people will truely choose whether a game fails miserably or not, because i played about 8 hours of highguard yesterday and I geniunely had fun is the game perfect out of the gate no but its been pretty damn fun and everybody everywhere is spam hating it and commenting on what needs to change in the game with like .5 hours played

[karmic sable]

The blind hate period for Marathon was between May-September

[austere prawn]

yea it was like the 3rd concord 2

[orchid light]

From what iam seeing at keast the YouTube videos and the comments people are way more positive about the game right now than before

[celest coyote]

What if instead of marathon it was called freakathon and everyone just twerked and looked at toes

[barren gazelle]

We already do that

[celest coyote]

Fair enough

[scenic dragon]

you can always count on being able to look at your feet in a bungie game

[tacit kiln]

and that's the crazy part its like 80% negative reviews on steam

[barren gazelle]

This is what they mean when they say signature bungie gunplay and sandbox

[orchid light]

Ohh sorry i mean marathon

[tacit kiln]

oh ya thank god

[celest coyote]

Yeah unfortunately 80% isn’t quite high enough

[void gull]

No me importa no me important no me importa nada

[keen crow]

I just find it UGLY generic fantasy/sf salad ... I don't want to play it for that. I'm sick of bad clones!!! period!

[orchid light]

People are still hating on highguard for sure. I also played it yesterday for like 4 hours. Its not a bad game i just dont see myself playing it for more that a week or 2.
If it had custom game mode to play with friends i will sure play it more

[austere prawn]

yes

[void gull]

Highgaurd seems like the most product game ever

[celest coyote]

It is pretty ugly and broken

[void gull]

Like its not bad but its also nothing to write home about and ue5
