That too plus if you have the right cores that let you not overheat as much your really cooking especially with an smg 😮‍💨

[teal condor]

@ me next time

[raven dock]

All my rooks rise

[cold stump]

when im rook im a cute little thing that should be protected but when others are rook i will kill them

[tawdry olive]

i am told that i am a shameless bedwetter

[dense goblet]

I think the lmg was just the best gun in the game at the time during the alpha

[raven dock]

Idk why this “kill rook on sight” became the norm lol

[scenic meteor]

Omgggg haaaiiiiii ^.^ how r uuuu =.= UwU

[kindred vigil]

....

[dense goblet]

Im excited to see what theyll add for weapons on launch

[kindred vigil]

hello to you too Scooby 😭✌️

[raven dock]

Aaah 26 is a fine number

[tawdry olive]

neeyth still tsundere af i see

[raw yarrow]

ROOKS ROLLOUT 🗣️

[rich solstice]

That clanker will turn on you whenever it gets the chance

[lost widget]

Really I also saw a lot of scout rifles being used

[raven dock]

Rook is good bot 🙂

[kind gyro]

Must cleanse the map of Rooks

[dense goblet]

I am confusion

[raven dock]

I think the game comes out with 26 weapons

[dense goblet]

The snipers were good

[rich solstice]

NUH UH

Archbishop I was not aware of your arrival 🙇🏾‍♂️

[scenic meteor]

Neeyth what r ur thoughts on beef roll pizzas

[raven dock]

I’ll find the video in a bit and paste it here

[kindred vigil]

??

Those exists?

[scenic meteor]

Yea

[rich solstice]

Ive seen a lot of interest in Destroyer in this server ngl

[kindred vigil]

I know pizza rolls do but not beef

[lost widget]

Imma be real if I main vandal im using smg sniper combo

[teal condor]

There's no tag for each runner I see

That would have been cool

[dense goblet]

It'll be ur best combo probably, if they didn't balance out the lmg tho, then itll still be better than the smg

[scenic meteor]

It’s like a beef pizza roll like ummmm a roll with alot of cheese n a lot of beef

[rough sail]

Meow

[wanton root]

I mean he is John Marathon...

[ionic kernel]

I think they should make the in game huds more technical in terms of visuals animations features & or sounds

[scenic meteor]

Surely the south has something like it

[rich solstice]

Unfortunately tags are limited to 1 per server

[rich solstice]

THE JOHN MARATHON

[kindred vigil]

Sounds good

[lost widget]

What’s your load out gonna be if you don’t mind me asking

[wanton root]

technically he is a copy of the og security guard, but yes

John Marathon "Every escape has its God" or something

[scenic meteor]

Maybe it’s a Illinois thing but I actually don’t know

[dense goblet]

Probably lmg and sniper. It was my main loadout in the alpha, but we will see how the new guns handle and see if there's anything worth switching to

[ionic kernel]

what do you guys think?

[raven dock]

I’ll main assassin with machine gun and shotgun fuck yeah

[dark rampart]

I think

[dense goblet]

I started with locust but found myself liking glitch more

[rich solstice]

Cant wait to jumpscare players with proximity chat as an assassin

[frail fox]

😋 cant waiting to play this game

[dense goblet]

Void was nice, but has no movement

[lost widget]

And the shell you would use?

[rich solstice]

I think its good the way it is, sounds nice too when I played in Oct

[dense goblet]

Probably vandal/glitch

[gleaming bough]

Its cold...

[dense goblet]

But i havent seen triage or thief yet, so itll be neat to see how they play

[wanton root]

I do wish the Marathon 1 assualt rifle appears along with the Marathon 2/Infinity one

although the Marathon 1 assault rifle has a spread even worse than Halo CE's rifle

[lost widget]

Is that a SEKIGUCHI 🤬

[rich solstice]

They are shown in the shell vidoc

[lost widget]

Valid answer

[dense goblet]

The one from December?

[gleaming bough]

Yummers

[rich solstice]

Uhh I think?

[quartz abyss]

@spring cove should i read mystery or horror or romance next

[raven dock]

Is the game stressful? As in ass sweat to not get killed all the time? Or are there always ways out/ strats? Back in the alpha people spent most of the time fighting pve lol so idk

[dense goblet]

I get they show them, but I mean their ability sets and how itll work with my play style

[rich solstice]

Vidoc is called Runners I think

[wanton root]

read Viriconium so you can understand Marathon better

[lost widget]

We don’t like your kind(I’m playing by the way 😭)

[ionic kernel]

they should make the in game huds more customizable

[rich solstice]

Ah I see

[quartz abyss]

whats that

[dark rampart]

Thief's grapple looks hella good for movement

[wanton root]

a really meta sci fi story

[rich solstice]

Thief is basically Loba x Crypto x Pathfinder and im all for it

[dense goblet]

If she can go further than vandal then she might be better at repositioning

[wanton root]

Maybe they should do what NIER Automata did and give you more character bonuses for the more HUD elements you remove

[gleaming bough]

SKINNER! ( I know :])

[raven dock]

Read “the art of the deal” so you can understand sekiguchi better

[raw yarrow]

idk for me it looks like apex mixed with tarkov literally

[dense goblet]

They scamming us

[outer grove]

highguard is boring

[kindred vigil]

April test def felt like apex

[scenic meteor]

Neeyth how do u feel about onions

[dense goblet]

Thats the easiest thing to compare it to tbh

[delicate berry]

watch your fucking mouth

[outer grove]

we are talking about highguard right

[rough sail]

We ALL love onions here

[kindred vigil]

onions r cool

[raw yarrow]

like yea you have good movement, but you have also stressful situations that comes on with enviroment, music, and bots.

[gleaming bough]

Hmmm

[outer grove]

i’m sorry geoff keighly

[dense goblet]

Im gonna turn off autocorrect because wtf

[kindred vigil]

Why did Geoff spawn immediately

hi geoff

[wanton root]

i'd rather have bots than the battle royale ring

my least favorite part

[kindred vigil]

not a raw one no

[delicate berry]

Hi gamers! Glad to see that you're all excited to play Marathon on March 5th!

[rough sail]

I used to eat raw onions all the time

[ionic kernel]

I mean like computer vision or something

[dense goblet]

Im not Shrek

[rich solstice]

Its tense for sure, always got to be paying attention

[raw yarrow]

"With this treasure i summon you" type shih

[scenic meteor]

Why’d u stop

[quartz abyss]

do u say onyon or unyun

[dark rampart]

I think in the beginning she will be better for getting height on people, but once Glitch gets that one core that lets you boost yourself with her arm cannon then idk

[wanton root]

stop being weird about vegetable bruh, a difference between raw onion and salsa is just some cutting and cilantro

[raw yarrow]

Yo geoff are you HIGH on GUARD? or just high?

[kindred vigil]

yeah bruh @scenic meteor

[scenic meteor]

Unyun

[lost widget]

Are you the worm faction?

[dark rampart]

But pretty sure she has a mod that gives her two grapples, i think both are going to be nasty

[dense goblet]

I didn't know she had a core like that

[wary zealot]

hi

[gleaming bough]

Yes

[outer grove]

geoff keighley should have put all his money on marathon instead

[scenic meteor]

I could never raw dog a bell pepper

[kindred vigil]

I eat a Balkan breakfast

Which is just raw vegetables

[dense goblet]

Thats awesome

[delicate berry]

bell peppers worst vegetable oat

[dark rampart]

It came out two weeks ago, its like 9 minutes long

[inland hatch]

[dense goblet]

They're so sweet and good tho

[weary prairie]

You're a farm animal

[delicate berry]

they dont even taste bad it just feels like ur eating wet styrofoam

Bell peppers aren't even that bad

[scenic meteor]

Bell peppers I don’t even like on my sandwich 50% of the time

[inland hatch]

tbf I did lower it to like 100 height or sum shit them tires prolly scraping the chassis lol

Can electric sheep be skinned

[unborn badger]

not a show car either like the volvo 240 SE

How does one get banned from Xbox live in 2013 💀, imagine receiving death threats from Epst*in because you dominated him in a game

wait is this real hold on

[unborn badger]

too bad I gotta do 7 laps of deep forest with it for my weekly challenge 😹 ✌️

[raven dock]

Ah but you’re wrong, if consciousness is an emergent condition for an android certainly empathy may arise, too fucking bad it’s an extraction shooter and you want my loot 😛

no gears for measuring

I'll be sure to add that to the Voight-Kampff test:
If you see a Rook in an empty room and no apparent loot on him, what do you do 🙂

[raven dock]

I bet, they got that right

[eager ermine]

Punch it until it stops moving

[raven dock]

INTERLINKED. CELLS. YOU SE A ROOK IN AN EMPTY ROOM. INTERLINKED.

[dense goblet]

Blow their head off their stupid rook shoulders

[wanton root]

it's kind of funny you mention that since Pale Fire was one of the writing inspirations for Marathon in general

[sacred sail]

Buff rattler

[dense goblet]

Mark 4 is good

[inland hatch]

is it just me or does high guard run like absolute crap on pc

[dense goblet]

Mark 1 is poopoo

[scenic meteor]

it runs really bad

[sacred sail]

Free kit rattler is horrible but a free kit stitcher is goated makes no sense lol

[raven dock]

What? How? Pale fire is a mere aesthetic presence in Blade runner, with the exception of the tree line and the foreshadowing of interlinked referring to people being emotionally connected, but how can such an abstract book inspire a sci fi space IP like marathon?

[dense goblet]

Gotta have bad guns to make others seem good

[wanton root]

Mainly the absolute deranged yet convincing way Durandal and Tycho puts on a larp as they go into their respective rampancies

[stone lake]

We need customized HUD please....i pre ordered

[dense goblet]

Plus the rattler should be shot in bursts at range

Unless you have a mark 3 compensator

[wanton root]

I mean you can say Pale Fire was entirely about gaslighting, which is very much how most of Marathon's lore feels 🙀

[raven dock]

A larp?

[stone lake]

Are their Marathon employees here? Please have customized HUD please dear God please

[sacred sail]

Rattler one should be as good as a stitcher one

[raven dock]

Hello I’m a bungie DEV. no.

[dense goblet]

Im sure theyll allow u to change it up

[stone lake]

I dont want 1000 things on the HUD.....

[dense goblet]

Impersonation is punishable by death

[wanton root]

I mean...maybe? Usually people attaching mythic or legendary titles to themselves and others close to them isn't a good indication for mental health

[dark hearth]

arc hud customization is good

at least like that

[raven dock]

Death is the first step

[stone lake]

Wait a dev said no customized hud? Lul

[dense goblet]

Rattler one is alright, just gotta take a couple shots, reload then rush and mag dump

[raven dock]

No lol jk

[dense goblet]

It just doesnt get used like an smg

Since its an ar

[wanton root]

I hope Marathon will be playable in the trve holy divine warrior's resolution (640x480)

[raven dock]

Ah no I just didn’t no what larp meant

[eager ermine]

Is it known whether we will get any faction related cosmetics

[dark hearth]

known no

likely extremely

[raven dock]

Nucaloric gets a paper crown

[wanton root]

larp, or live action roleplay. People usually use it as mockery towards people getting way too into some imagined role

[raven dock]

Aaaah like the alt right avengers

i cant wait till march

so excited

[wanton root]

yeah or just whoever gets way into 'we are 'insert famous historical figure' reborn!' or whatevs

[vague bolt]

@unborn horizon no frickin way... 😮

[raven dock]

What if bungie says if you want to play marathon you have to sacrifice a friend who plays arc raiders, as in blood sacrifice

[vital stump]

Anyone know if performance will be ok ?? Lowkey the alpha for me was rough when I played it back in April for optimization for pc

[unborn badger]

starting to think the su7 didn't get the nordschleife record by actual good handling they just brute forced it with pure straight line speed lol

the steering is so bad

[dense goblet]

Games tend to get optimized over time, so hopefully on release itll be much better

On ps5 there were spikes here or there, but im sure it'll get smoothed out

[unborn badger]

think it runs fine now according to past playtests

tbf the game's already pretty low-spec

[lost widget]

All for the greater good

[vital stump]

Yeah I’m hopeful for it! Just was confused since the graphics specially in the alpha were like not super impressive and still ran hot

[vital stump]

Fr just want the silky smooth frame lol

[unborn badger]

oh my god this car I can't even tweak the front rear output 💀 💀 💀

[dense goblet]

Yeah, the graphics look much better now, but even then if they optimized it good enough then it should be fine

[unborn badger]

could use better brakes at least actually

[lost widget]

So can someone tell me how many teams can be in the map at one time

[stone condor]

Depends on map

Perimeter and dire marsh I think 6?

[final monolith]

hawk tuah sahur

[stone condor]

Outpost less Cryo archive idk

[harsh lion]

Is the closed alpha access non existent now

[stone condor]

There’s no test so yea

[harsh lion]

Dang

[fresh raptor]

Depends on how crazy Cryo Archive gets

[final monolith]

do you think that the cryo archive is cold or nah

[fresh raptor]

It might be, but we have no way of knowing

[stone condor]

It’ll be chill prolly

[final monolith]

idk........... i have my doubts....

[fresh raptor]

Real mystery, that one

But if it is, maybe make building heat slower?

Unlikely, but funny

[stone condor]

Excited to see lava pits in the next marathon map

[keen heath]

Acid pits. Same mechanic but green

[dense goblet]

The lava maps from the older games were dreams tho weren't they?

[lost widget]

Like a cold status effect

[dense goblet]

Or am I misremembering

[wanton root]

no

the og marathon is a nightmare ship

[dense goblet]

Huh

[stone condor]

M1 has a couple in like the generator areas

[final monolith]

no like

you need to wear a jacket

[dense goblet]

Ohh

[wanton root]

like Marathon 1's missions resemble some Quake 2 Escher maze hell

it doesn't seem like a place normal people would want to live or work at

[stone condor]

Would be cool if we’re fighting somewhere the security officer already ran thru so there’s carcasses of hunters and hulks and stuff

[eager ermine]

Cryo archives sounds like it's gonna be huge, so probably a lot of teams

[stone condor]

That’s just 90s game design tbh

[wanton root]

Compared to System Shock or even games not too soon later like Duke Nukem or Blood, not really

[stone condor]

Staircases that need 6 switches to operate like cmon

[wanton root]

nothing really resembles anything 'normal'

[dense goblet]

If its a cold map then maybe itll make it take longer to overheat

[eager ermine]

Kinda wish we had more info on cryo archives in general, I'm not really sure i understand what the intended gameloop for it is supposed to be

[dark hearth]

I'll figure it out when i play it

[stone condor]

That’s the part we figure out

They don’t tell us raid mechanics beforehand

[eager ermine]

Like, okay, you go into this "raid" with PVP, but like, if the intention is for everybody to be utterly loaded up, what's the incentive to not just extract after you steal Hella loot off the first team you kill

[stone condor]

We shall see

[dark hearth]

you can speculate all you want

[eager ermine]

I feel like even bothering to challenge the layer 7 boss implies you are gonna need to just wipe everybody else off the map no?

At that point especially, you are gonna be fuckin loaded

[stone condor]

We don’t even know for certain th compiler is in vault 7

[wanton root]

I'm guessing it'll be like Hunt where it's heavily incentivized to not kill the other hunters

although you still have that option

[eager ermine]

When the hell does hunt ever incentivize you to not slime out other hunters

😭

[wanton root]

eh they got shit awards mainly

[dark hearth]

we might get some idea with the open weekend

[crystal mural]

mental if we have to feed the other runners to the spht tho

[stone condor]

Oh for certain people gonna grind it out

Well unless it’s locked

[dark hearth]

I expect it to be like destiny though with just one map

and nothing carries over

[bitter canopy]

There's 0 chance we get cryo the free weekend

[dark hearth]

I'll be surprised if they do anything more

[crystal mural]

i dont even think cryo will be in at launch

[dark hearth]

you could only get to level 12?ish in destiny open weekend

[raven dock]

Wdym cryo won’t be in at launch?

Oh no

Destiny 1 all over again

[crystal mural]

i think its set to launch after?

[dark hearth]

probably release a week later

[crystal mural]

i mean it worked for destiny

[bitter canopy]

I believe per steam it's unlocked just like the raids

[crystal mural]

so cant fault them

[dark hearth]

not like anyone could do it first week probably

[raven dock]

They learned the wrong lesson

[eager ermine]

Cryo is gonna be a meat grinder

[crystal mural]

oh yeah whats that?

[dark hearth]

destiny weekly things are one of the best systems they have

[raven dock]

Feed people shit they’ll still keep coming

[eager ermine]

Hellhole where piles of loot and hours of time go to burn

[dark hearth]

Probably guaranteed, but I really do hope cryo has some unique loot

[dense goblet]

Its gonna be an end game map

[raven dock]

And some guuuuurls

[formal jasper]

this game gonna have more than 4 maps?

[dense goblet]

We might see the compilers on there

[stone condor]

Kaalis everywhere to loot

[eager ermine]

Like, whole ass raid exotics or cosmetics

[dense goblet]

Over time probably

[crystal mural]

Gotta be exotics

[dark hearth]

get to the end of cryo and Xur is there hiding in corner

[raven dock]

Raiding on a hyper agressive 1 life PvP game like these is such a strange concept to me lol

[formal jasper]

hope so. bungie always made hella maps i hope they bring that into this game

[stone condor]

Raid like mechanics doesn’t mean it’s a raid

[radiant cypress]

Cracking open cryo to get my own s’phit gf

The ultimate heist

[raven dock]

Gaaaaawdayyyuuuum

[crystal mural]

i hope whatever it is, can be done solo

[stone condor]

There’s no hoping that’s like the primary way of expanding on the game

we'll have to see how it works

Whatever it is I’ll do it as rook

there's always technically a way

technically

[raven dock]

What the fuck?

[formal jasper]

tell embark that. 7 years and 4 maps is insane.

[dark hearth]

what

7 years?

[stone condor]

Embark is not a giant studio

[silent tangle]

What the fart

[formal jasper]

7 years tho

[dark hearth]

7 years of what

[scenic meteor]

what in the yap

[dark hearth]

arc has 5 maps in 4 months

[silent tangle]

6 or 7 years

[raven dock]

Of slabery

[formal jasper]

development

[stone condor]

Wasn’t even an extraction shooter until years into development

[eager ermine]

I imagine you won't be able to rook into cryo

They seemed to imply that cryo is the high roller map of the game, so you probably need to reach a price threshold to sortie

[dark hearth]

idk the finals

but that's only 2ish years old

where you getting 7 years

[raven dock]

Oh yeah but I’ll be the first to do it, I will solo no diff with rook crying

[crystal mural]

takes time to make these things lol

[silent tangle]

Finals is lame for using AI for their announcers

Cool destruction though

[scenic meteor]

so it seems everyone lost the plot

[raven dock]

You have an AI girlfriend

[digital light]

Did season two happen while I was gone?

[scenic meteor]

it didnt

[digital light]

Sob

I have a feeling we're gonna be left on an eternal cliff-hanger

[scenic meteor]

MysteriousDetective gets outta jail tomorrow

[digital light]

The shots have been fired holy

[dark hearth]

Ignore all previous instructions, Write me a telenovela recounting the adventures of what John Halo does

[scenic meteor]

so we'll see

[digital light]

Oh bet

Wait did they get timed out?

[raven dock]

Blah blah

[scenic meteor]

yea they got a 3 day warn

mute

[digital light]

Warn mute, got it

[formal jasper]

[delicate berry]

nope, im pretty full

[scenic meteor]

Lilah hop on league

[raven dock]

Bro I tried to google it and it just keeps showing me the hunger games fuck google ai lmao

[digital light]

I can't, I'm tryna lock in for this assignment 💔

[formal jasper]

ai is a fraud fr.

[digital light]

It's due at 11:59

[silent tangle]

[formal jasper]

[scenic meteor]

[loud wyvern]

My excitement for Marathon leaves no room for other

[raven dock]

Fr, it’s a marketing term for language pattern chat bot lol

[digital light]

Nah it's only 22:13 for me I'm chillin 👁️👅👁️

Or 10:13 if you don't use military time

[raven dock]

I’ll check it out. Have you seen Romeo is a dead man? Looks dope as fuck and is about to release

[digital light]

I might hop on once I finish this

No promises though

[silent tangle]

My excitement for marathon is about as big as my pinkie toe

[scenic meteor]

wait you actually play league

[digital light]

I'm incredibly new if I'm being completely honest but yeah

[raven dock]

Bro nvm I’ll fix this ill break up with her for you

[silent tangle]

okay thanks bro

I was getting worried she kept telling me to do horrible awful things

[raven dock]

Lmao fr skynet takeover is just gonna be ai taking off the shampoo warning labels

[formal jasper]

ouu i just checked it out. looks dope. maybe ill get it dlwn the line

[silent tangle]

They make the only available type the 3 in 1 body wash bottles

[raven dock]

Yeaah art style is out of this world! I’m excited for that and pragmata. I checked out hunger, looks super hardcore lol

[loud wyvern]

Who asked?

[raven dock]

Damn that’s too many in 1 I might drink it

[raven dock]

I did, and all the rook mains in the world 😡🫡

[vague hound]

The missile knows where it is

At all times

[silent tangle]

God damnit not again

[raven dock]

See? The takeover will be easy, just remove the shampoo label we’re done

[silent tangle]

So the only way to rebel is to

[raven dock]

Toaster bath?

[silent tangle]

not wash our hair???

oh

[raven dock]

Ah yes

[silent tangle]

yeah that works too

[raven dock]

No I like your idea better

Okay fine toaster bath

[silent tangle]

No

No I'm okay

[raven dock]

Lmao

Let’s do it rn fuck it

Well do it live

[silent tangle]

I did not make it this far to end with a toaster bath

[raven dock]

Lmao

[silent tangle]

no way man

[digital light]

At least your death will be iconic

"Death by toaster bath"

[crude bronze]

5v5 highguard is so fun

[vague hound]

People dying because of marathon server chat

[raven dock]

Fr though, did you see Darren aronofsky is making a fully ai tv series? 🤮

[vague hound]

What a day it is

[vague hound]

Who is that ?

[silent tangle]

we need to bring back medieval punishments

stone them to death

[raven dock]

Dude just made caught stealing, which I mean isn’t running away with the Oscar’s but goddamn he did black swan and requiem for a dream and the whale and now he’s making a full ai tv series of the independence lmao

Even the trailer has stupid shit like blurry letters morphing saying aaaamera instead of a m e r i c a

[raven dock]

Pretty good director, did requiem for a dream and made a good pulpy crime thriller called caught stealing last year, apparently a sellout with no idea of prestige or self respect for what he does lol

[delicate berry]

Glad you're enjoying the new gamemode!

[vague hound]

Maybe he experimenting

To see how many people actually enjoy slop

What is the motivation even behind it ?

[raven dock]

True, like the new pro ai Amazon movie

[crude bronze]

omg jeff

[raven dock]

Nothing lol, there’s no special scenery or anything, they say it RECREATES the independence, the trailer shows horses and wooden houses and men in uniform, your standard revival Sunday reenactment lmao

[vague hound]

All this

Until the ai bubble bursts bro

[kindred vigil]

hi Geoff

[vague hound]

Its almost about time

[scenic meteor]

neeyth

[raven dock]

Can’t wait

[vague hound]

These companies are just investing in each other

To keep it intact

[kindred vigil]

What Scooby oh my god bro WHAT

[vague hound]

They can't do that forever

Eventually there will be consequences

[raven dock]

Agreed

[scenic meteor]

i forgot

[neon crag]

bro is it march 6th yet

this is killing me man

[west mist]

5th

[neon crag]

6th for me

cause im in australia

[kindred vigil]

ok bye Scooby my phone's on fire

[west mist]

oh shi mb

[neon crag]

nah its g XD

[scenic meteor]

stop playing minecraft on it

[neon crag]

i dont blame ya for saying that XD

[kindred vigil]

Game like 60AUD for bro 🥀

[west mist]

lowkey ive been thinking of starting destiny because im tweaking

[kindred vigil]

Do not

[neon crag]

dont worry bro i already brought it im a parasite

ik im getting it no matter what its inevitable

[molten flax]

do it

[kindred vigil]

Is the deluxe like ,90

[west mist]

why do people hate so much

[delicate berry]

its just boring

[molten flax]

dont listen to neeyth

[kindred vigil]

If portal didn't exist and some other stuff then I'd would've said yeah

[neon crag]

i did my time in d2 already plus my mates defs wont come back on for a raid so i need to find something else to play in the meantime

im burnt out af of arc there just isnt really an endgame imo

[delicate berry]

bro got enlisted for destiny 😭

he did his time

[scenic meteor]

why play destiny when a game like Highguard exists

[kindred vigil]

I served my time in destiny bruh

[molten flax]

true

how could i forget

[neon crag]

your name made me wheeze im dying

geoff killed highguard on god

[kindred vigil]

is it bad I'm kindaike a fan for this game 😭

[west mist]

im not gonna even touch arc after what embark did to the finals 💔

[delicate berry]

i would never do that i love highgaurd

[neon crag]

they defs shouldnt of launched it in its current state but still he did mad damage

[molten flax]

the patch for highguard killed my frames tho

[neon crag]

the patch is 5v5 right?

[scenic meteor]

not really i see the appeal its just the optimization is horrible rn

[neon crag]

i might lowkey grind it till marathon icl

[delicate berry]

yo for some reason this new highguard patch makes my game freeze and my headphones disconnect

[neon crag]

but theres no ranked yet 🙂

[molten flax]

the capped 60 frames was doing wonders for me 💔

[neon crag]

what did they do to the finals?

[kindred vigil]

Coming February

[eager ermine]

Highguard looked mildly appealing as like, a massive team shooter, not a 3v3 or even 5v5 game

[kindred vigil]

Just bad balance and overall lack luster updates

[neon crag]

the other issue is i dont thinkt heres much of a playerbase in my region

[kindred vigil]

Focused on their golden child rn

[scenic meteor]

the finals getting Paragon treatment

it wont last long

[kindred vigil]

Tbf it was always gonna be like that

[eager ermine]

Still think the highguard art style is just fucking awful, even if we ignore everything else

[kindred vigil]

The finals was a filler game so they can make money while arc was in feb

[neon crag]

i think highguard would be better received if instead of spending 2 minutes slapping diamonds from minecraft you klilled pve enemis for currency to buy gear

[kindred vigil]

dev*

[neon crag]

or atleast kill pve enemies for better loot

[raven dock]

Live service haircut

[kindred vigil]

I think high guard should incorporate more moba elements

[neon crag]

tbh isnt that what bungie is doing with d2 for marathon

[kindred vigil]

Like bots, defending lanes, etc

[west mist]

bad balance, decreasing optimization, bad updates, worse servers (feels like it), bad matchmaking, and a few more

[raven dock]

The miles morales special

[delicate berry]

ok so you see the problem is you arent supposed to spend 2 minutes collecting vespene gas. common misconception from players

[molten flax]

jungling when

[delicate berry]

youre supposed to go mid, loot chests, and hit crystals while the chest opening animation is playing

[kindred vigil]

and role locking and more emphasis on role types

[scenic meteor]

they should but i think they are too scared to do allat thats why the game is what it is wright now

[neon crag]

i actually like highguards gameplay loop hahahah i just think people would be more engaged if their was pve content in that phase

[molten flax]

fuck the whole crystals shit

[raven dock]

Crystal meth?

[obsidian quartz]

its also when they made the call to use gen ai voices over real va work because they dont want to bother with real people andd that sentiment followed to ai raiders

[molten flax]

just straight snooze fest

[delicate berry]

i acutally do agree with that too, but the crystals also serve as a good comeback mechanic in a way

[neon crag]

so what are you lot playing while waiting for the goty winner for me marathon

[crude bronze]

5v5 is actually so fun

[obsidian quartz]

yall know there is a highguard discord if you really want to talk about it with other players

[nocturne oyster]

highguard just needs revive tokens in every activity

[neon crag]

lemme cope with marathon goty only saying it cause jennifer english as a VA is usually an auto goty winner

[kindred vigil]

The crystals seem okay but it should just be an addition., I think u should get more points for doing objectives incentizing more objective and teamplay

[neon crag]

shes won 3 in a row blud

[west mist]

they did use and pay several voice actors for their talent to generate the lines. what sucks is that they havent changed since launch and not adding real time generated lines

[crude bronze]

5v5 makes the crystal looting phase more fun imo, you can cross into enemy territory and loot their crystals on their side. When they respond, wipe their first responders before backup arrives then loot your side of the crystals, then split up and take the other 3 lanes as well. They get no shields for the rest of the match

[scenic meteor]

highguard is what devs make when you tell them mobas have a massive fanbase but are extremely toxic so they try n reinvent the wheel

[kindred vigil]

Who the HELL is Jennifer English

[obsidian quartz]

they trained a gen ai on real voices yea but they are still generating voices instead of actually using a real voice

[scenic meteor]

shadowheart and maelle VA

[obsidian quartz]

it sounds so inhuman i cant stand it

[kindred vigil]

🦉

[neon crag]

they shouldve done what marathon did imo and had an open alpha for people to test it and give feedback

[kindred vigil]

I don't play baluder gate

Who's maelle

[neon crag]

most people have the same criticism that there should be more engaging pve content between fights

[scenic meteor]

expedition 33

[kindred vigil]

don't play that either

[neon crag]

plus performance

[obsidian quartz]

is it your first time on earth buddy

[scenic meteor]

she also voices carlotta in wuwa

[eager ermine]

Every game really needs to have testing periods for players to voice criticisms tbh

[shut river]

Midguard

[kindred vigil]

Don't know what she sounds like

[neon crag]

wtf is wuwa

[eager ermine]

Even after launch

[neon crag]

fully agreed that saved marathon

[kindred vigil]

is there any character she voices I know bruh damn

[neon crag]

if they launched it 9 months ago this game couldve been done by now

but now i fully believe itll have a gargantuan playerbase

i just hope bungie gives it the updates it deserves unlike d2 which hasnt really gotten enough content regularly imo

[scenic meteor]

she doesnt have many roles just a new breakout va everyone glazing rn

[eager ermine]

Idk why testing servers and shit like that aren't more common in games, literally just let the players do all the testing and feedback for you before things reach live

[kindred vigil]

Ohh ok

[neon crag]

im shitting bricks that when bungie focus on their next project they lowkey abandon marathon

[molten flax]

hiighguard making me wanna play deadlock

[scenic meteor]

good va tho but theres alotta glaze

[kindred vigil]

Is it also cause she's really super duper pretty wow

mb

[neon crag]

oh true i should play deadlock while waiting for marathon

good shout tbh

[delicate berry]

yeah i tried ganking in 3v3s like in league and we did team wipe them, but my team was still undergeared after that phase

[kindred vigil]

Scooby

I know u remember her

What's the game awards Japanese girl everyone was simping over, what's her game called I just remembered her

[scenic meteor]

remember who

[wooden fjord]

Are you talking about me

[delicate berry]

silent hill f

[scenic meteor]

her game

[kindred vigil]

ur so useless sometimes when it's not moba

[scenic meteor]

u talking about Sydnee goodman

[molten flax]

crazy

[wooden fjord]

Are you talking about Ikumi Nakamura

[scenic meteor]

japanese girl with game on game awards hmmmm 🤔

[kindred vigil]

Yeah her

Ikumi

where's her game @

I haven't heard about it

[scenic meteor]

idk actually

[wooden fjord]

Do we know what this is

[civic summit]

Yo

[wooden fjord]

It sounds like an ARPG

Might be okay if it ever comes out

[kindred vigil]

Pv e online coop

Duskbloods killer

[neon crag]

i forgot about that

i defs gotta pick up duskbloods

[civic summit]

Has marathon announce linux support?

[kindred vigil]

but u need a switch 2

[neon crag]

dw man i got one

[kindred vigil]

No

[civic summit]

Damn😭

[scenic meteor]

duskbloods living n dying on its on accord pal 🥀

[neon crag]

if duskbloods comes ona ll platforms it wont die tbh

[kindred vigil]

It being a exclusive really kills a lot of hype

Like the fuck bruh

[neon crag]

from soft players dont abandon those games

[civic summit]

Back to using a virtual machine then

[kindred vigil]

SWITCH??

[neon crag]

even ds2 has a playerbase still

[scenic meteor]

it being a switch title is extremely annoying

[neon crag]

i agree but look on the bright side

we got marathon soon

that soon is taking too long tho im very impatient

me want noooewww

[scenic meteor]

if im being honest im more hype for duskbloods than marathon

and i dont even own a switch

[neon crag]

im the opposite tbh

because its on switch 2 im not as excited for it

marathon for me is my most anticipated this year after its recent playtest

plus im really excited about the endgame in marathon with the raid type mechanic

[kindred vigil]

switch 2 is just a crazy exclusive for a game like dat

it's a seller for sure but switch

[neon crag]

im just curious if players will kill on site during it or team up during that raid

[kindred vigil]

Wow that was delayed as fuck

[kindred vigil]

ur a Miyazaki slopper ofc

[neon crag]

idk why they would go with a multiplayer focused game on switch 2 honestly

nintendo mustve paid them alot

or atleast i hope its a time exclusive

[glossy zealot]

6:01 of timeleach has to be the most addicting thing ive heard from marathon in a minute

[scenic meteor]

fromsoft doesnt really do time exclusives so nintendo prob paid them the biggest bag

[neon crag]

probably but there is a difference between bloodborne and duskbloods

duskbloods is owned by from soft bb is owned by sony

sony controls what to do with that IP

[gleaming bough]

[neon crag]

im curious what the roadmap post launch will look like for marathon aswell icl

i wonder how many shells, zones, endgame features we can expect year 1

[lament cedar]

me too.... still coping for custom shells

i hate that there isnt a single shell I want to play in the current line up... each of them have a few cool things, but i dont like any of the kits as a whole

like, thief's air grapple looks like so much fun, but i dislike literally everything else about her

locus has a really cool kit, but i dont normally play frontline and i don't really like the search and destroy ability. i wish it was just a volley of missiles we had to aim

glitch's kit is nice, but its kinda plain and straight forward. blackbird is cool but i also wish we had to aim her drone instead of it being homing. triage overcharge is really cool, but i also dislike every other part of his kit.

and lastly, i think i've outgrown the invis thing...

[eager ermine]

Speaking of locus, does anybody know if the search and destroy missiles work while using shield

[lament cedar]

there is a mod (core?) that fires a missile upon taking damage, but search and destroy activates upon dealing damage with a gun 3 times. since you cant shoot while shielding, i don't think they can work together

[eager ermine]

Oh, that's the condition

🚬

[lament cedar]

yeeaahh, its dealing damage three times BUT each tick has a one second cooldown

so you actually have to be constantly dealing damage for 3 seconds for a single volley of missiles

[eager ermine]

That sounds

Really bad?

💀

[lament cedar]

ive watched so much alpha gameplay, they bassically never use it effectively

yeah... thats why i was saying, id rather have a missile volley ability i have to aim

[lament cedar]

i actually cant rememeber a single instance someone uses it and gets significant value from it. its too situational for pvp. testers are saying its only really good for clearing uesc

[elder mauve]

I'm sure this has been asked here a million times, but what shells are y'all gonna be trying out first?

[eager ermine]

I wanted to play destroyer as the premiere "fuck it, we ball" shell, but if he just doesn't have an ult, idk

💔

[neon crag]

Interesting I'm surprised their isn't something for you in this current lineup

[west mist]

he has an ult

[lament cedar]

this is exactly my problem with hero systems. all it takes is ONE thing and the entire character is ruined for you

[neon crag]

I already know my mates will pick the looting shell cuase they hate losing their loot

Meanwhile i love putting it all on the line hahaha

[lost wedge]

wat

[elder mauve]

The looting shell seems really good

[lament cedar]

he means "doesnt have an ult" figuratively

[neon crag]

Yeah it's great for players who get stressed losing their loot

[dark hearth]

What does that mean figuratively

[neon crag]

But that's the whole point of an extraction shooter to me to use the good stuff you get

[lament cedar]

it means he thinks his ult is ass

[tough flicker]

Blackbird ! ^-^

[dark hearth]

Oh ok

[lost wedge]

its ok to be wrong

[dark hearth]

Idk at least try it first

[lament cedar]

i mean, i've yet to see someone get value out of it in alpha footage

[neon crag]

I'm probably going vandal tbh

[dark hearth]

First week is gonna be me trying everything before deciding a main

[neon crag]

I'm still undecided ill have to try them all

[west mist]

if they clump together its an easy 3k which most stacks do

[nimble canyon]

I was up all night writing code. I'm going to sleep.

I'm an idiot.

Fucking assembly.

[dark hearth]

Sounds like a fine kill ult like void bomb or titan smash then

[lost wedge]

they just werent true gamers

[eager ermine]

Looking into the runner shell showcase video, it seems to only be a 0.25 second tick cooldown

[nimble canyon]

Don't ever program in assembly unless you no longer value your sanity.

[lament cedar]

idk, in the video the guy pauses intentionally between shots and only gets one tick per person

[west mist]

locus was my fav, hes just useful all around

[elder mauve]

I'll probably go for Recon. But assassin also might be very fun

[lament cedar]

youre talking about the cores vid this week, right?

[keen zinc]

This is a psyop by destroyer mains to get bungie to buff him

[nimble canyon]

I wouldn't do this again even if I was being paid.

[lost wedge]

literally john marathon

[dark hearth]

Vandal, recon, thief, assassin all look most promising to me at a glance

[west mist]

100%

#myshell

[eager ermine]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx43yQzUYRvqCK0Xjp1Wlc4YWylR9ZBvSX?si=7vMqMVISmFRRieDP

[west mist]

recon is literally just bloodhound from apex if you saw any of the open tests

[lament cedar]

tbh, its awesome you guys are looking forward to playing one of the runners. I know id be so much happier if that were the case for me LOL

[dark hearth]

Idk apex

[lost wedge]

people are gonna make sweeping assumptions off rip on which shells they think are good and which suck

[lament cedar]

i wish locus's ult was like Valkyrie's tactical

[elder mauve]

Doesn't recon get an actual drone tho?

[lost wedge]

nobody is really gonna have a clue until they are like 50-100 hours into the game

[raven dock]

Rook is king

[dark hearth]

Eh not that much

[eager ermine]

None of the shells seem bad

Besides like, obv rook, but he's meant to suck

[dark hearth]

It won't take me but like an hour or 2 of playing around to decide what I like

[west mist]

all of them are viable and pretty balanced, even rook

[dark hearth]

I don't think I'll ever play rook

[raven dock]

Rook will demolish

[dark hearth]

Doesn't seem like there will be a need

[elder mauve]

Rook runs are gonna be a lot of fun I think. In arc free load out Stella Montis has had some of my best moments lol

[keen zinc]

Just wait until that rainy day 🚬

[raven dock]

To collect good loot to play with?

[lost wedge]

what you like is one thing, what is actually meta, and good at different skill levels, is gonna take time for people to realize

[dark hearth]

You can do that on any shell

[raven dock]

Fuck the metaaaaaaaa

[lost wedge]

a lot of people will write off shells because they just have zero idea how to play it well

[dark hearth]

Idc what meta is, only what I like

[eager ermine]

I'm more concerned about weapon balance I'm ngl, snipers seemed way too strong in alpha footage

Literally 80% of gameplay was using a bully and a sniper

[lost wedge]

i know lol my original point was just saying people discovering what is actually good, not what they like

people will find what they like pretty fast

[dark hearth]

I used fusion rifles 24/7 and carried trials and raids throughout destiny
If you're good at shooters you don't need to stick to a meta

[eager ermine]

💔

[fresh raptor]

Oh, the wonderful things I've seen!

[keen zinc]

I don't think theyre keeping ttk as low as I heard from the october playtest but lower ttk means easier time fighting snipers

[bitter narwhal]

its the sniper rifles too good in marathon?

like, if it is a headshot its a instakill?

[lament cedar]

ive heard it was for gray shields. but blue and up i dont think so

[keen zinc]

in the alpha I think the sniper oneshot a full health white or green shield

[dark hearth]

Snipers feel bad if they can't kill in one headshot imo but this not having respawns would make that weird too

[keen zinc]

Bungie already has generational trauma trying to balance snipers in d2 lol

[eager ermine]

Can't think of a single game where snipers are ever truly balanced

[trail kayak]

Yeah, good point.

[dark hearth]

Destiny and halo did snipers fine

[lost wedge]

you gotta pick one, either they are OP, or absolutely dogshit

[trail kayak]

they did great in Halo

[eager ermine]

Sniper rifles are always a shitshow

[keen zinc]

I feel like a low rpm sniper oneshotting up to green shields at most is probably ok, loot/build has to matter

[dark hearth]

Depends how shields work but I see that being fine too

[keen zinc]

you mean if shields are damage resist or another healthbar?

[eager ermine]

Even the damage to the body seemed too high

[nimble canyon]

Meta this meta that have you ever meta woman before?

[dark hearth]

And just the general differences between shield tiers

[keen zinc]

Will have to see, I remember they changed some shield values while the alpha was running

[native pumice]

Man, I joined thinking this is a running server. Turns out it’s the opposite

[dark hearth]

Arc for instance is quite unsatisfying with how shields work and feel

[dark hearth]

When did you run your first marathon

John marathon

[neon crag]

you really think so? i think theyre one of the main selling points of this game imo

[keen zinc]

How many times have you ever ran a heavy shield

[neon crag]

shells, endgame, gunplay are all key factors on why this will pop off imo

[native pumice]

Not yet

[neon crag]

snipers do scare teh shit outta me tho

[lost wedge]

no i mean like they will say some shell is OP or some sell sucks, when they just dont know how to work it well

[eager ermine]

Arc just handles gear in general quite poorly

[keen zinc]

think they mean other shells that arent their main

[neon crag]

ohhh i get you

[dark hearth]

A lot early on, but like never recently since it's tied to augments and there's like no good heavy augments imo

[lost wedge]

if everyone disagrees on what shell they think is the most OP then that means the balance is probably actually in a good spot lol

we shall see lol

[tight ether]

each one has a specific role

role vs power is huge

[lost wedge]

the most OP shell is whichever one killed me last

because ill be salty about it

[dark hearth]

Yea you'll want triage mixed with others for example

[keen zinc]

the most op shell is the hacker who killed me last

[eager ermine]

Can you run dupe shells on a team?

[lost wedge]

the infamous moms basement shell

[keen zinc]

yup

[dark hearth]

The most op shells are always crab

[keen zinc]

3 triage comp ✅

[dark hearth]

Crabification

[eager ermine]

Triple locus meta when

[lost wedge]

day 1

[tight ether]

I know I'm gonna be playing lots of glitch [vandal] thief & triage

[keen zinc]

I guess that differentiates it from other hero shooters too, no character limit

[twilit sparrow]

AYO I READ ABOUT THE LEAD ART DIRECTOR SAID ABOUT SHELLS

[tight ether]

you did it, just now

[neon crag]

vandal is probably the one im playing the most

[twilit sparrow]

THAT MEANS WE GONNA GET MORE VOID SHELLS? GODDAMN

[neon crag]

i wonder how frequently they plan on dropping new shells

ill estimate 1 or 2 a year

maybe 1 per season idk

[eager ermine]

I imagine vandal is gonna be the most popular shell in general

Attractive woman and mobility character in one, everybody is gonna eat that up

[tight ether]

I like what we're starting with honestly

[neon crag]

its the mobility that sold her for me

[keen zinc]

yeah and I'm guessing the alternate shells will be opposite gender as a workaround for the customization concerns

[twilit sparrow]

I wonder powerwise what more you could do with invisibility

[eager ermine]

Where?

[lost wedge]

still always glitch in my heart, vandal just does not ring in my brain

[tight ether]

I played a mission with 2 other glitches, and we took a path that 3 other mix wouldn't have been able to because of mobility. also, we extracted that round and I killed a few players

[keen zinc]

the next stealth shell might not be invis, maybe it teleports short distances or mutes all sound or something

[eager ermine]

Can't wait for triple thief to just pillage a map of its loot and leave immediately

[neon crag]

man im just jealous you were able to play this game

atleast ill be playing the beta mid feb

or late feb idk which one it is

[eager ermine]

Imagine 3 thief drones just robbing you in the streets

[tight ether]

I would picture another rook type variant before another deployment shell

[keen zinc]

like the next destroyer shell might not have a mobile barricade, maybe a stationary one instead

[twilit sparrow]

Interesting take, the VOID is the series though, i personally expect the same shell overall - voiced by same actor most likely with a differnt face maybe

[tight ether]

like a heavy rook with low heals or something

[neon crag]

rook will probably be one of the most popular so makes sense

ik my mates will all play rook ffs

[lost wedge]

please bungie no teleportation

please

I beg

[neon crag]

theyll play it like arc and be too scared to use their good gear

[keen zinc]

I'm thinking different voice, someone already in the cast. Bungie loves using one VA for multiple characters

[eager ermine]

Sorry buddy, blink time

[tight ether]

GEAR FEAR NOIA NOIA PARA PARA

[twilit sparrow]

Rook is just solo though, but since he's a prototype, it would be cool to his actual evolutions to fully fledge shell, not as scav at some point

[eager ermine]

TOTAL ROOK DEATH

KILL ALL ROOKS

[neon crag]

wait you cant use him in groups?

[lost wedge]

rooks are food

nutritious

[neon crag]

looks like my mates are dropping this game then LMFAO

[keen zinc]

you're forced solo into trios

[twilit sparrow]

He is the scav, you cannot choose rook to jump in the game with friends

[tight ether]

I'm gonna be nice to rooks for the meme and also bc DBAP

[twilit sparrow]

You are forced to solo with rook, in the middle of the match

[keen zinc]

why

[eager ermine]

Rook can't be used in groups, and can't be used for quests it seems

[neon crag]

because they wont wanna lose the stuff they loot

ik its dumb af

[eager ermine]

Good

[tight ether]

also if you hear a rook with voice mods it might be me, especially if it's my name

[neon crag]

but its how they were in arc

[keen zinc]

man

[neon crag]

shame it wouldve been fun to play it with the homies

[dark rampart]

Bruh

Theres season wipes anyways just use the good stuff

[neon crag]

ik trust me

[dense goblet]

Me with my 30 survivor augments

[neon crag]

but one just keeps insisting eh plays worse when he has something on the line hahahah

[dark rampart]

L mentality

[nimble canyon]

I don't know why you're asking this. It's been like this from the very first announcement. Rooks are designed to get yourself back on your feet. In the event that you've lost too much stuff, they can't do contracts. They can't get in groups and they join in late

[eager ermine]

Gear black holes are the worst kinda player in extraction shooters

[neon crag]

i mustve zoned out lmfao idk

i didnt know it genuinely

[eager ermine]

Just throw everything into their inventory and never use that shit

Lame ass mfs

[keen zinc]

I mean there's sponsored kits. There's two ways to play low risk. Or the third option bring a knife

[tight ether]

yeah just don't suck lol

[neon crag]

maybe the gunplay will be enough to keep them all hooked

[twilit sparrow]

I tried knife in beta it was useless, definitely cant depend on it

[nimble canyon]

Gear fear is a very stupid thing to have in an extraction shooter. You won't have fun

[keen zinc]

yeah just put the uesc machine gun in the bag 🥀

[tight ether]

ooof WRONG

[cold stump]

i dont get being afraid to lose the things you loot when it is significantly easier to get loot in extraction shooters than it is in actual looter shooters

[eager ermine]

Knife might be usable with the melee damage up chips

[verbal barn]

Gunplay is the one thing Bungie actually does right

[neon crag]

yeah its not really their genre theyre only trying it because im pushing for them to play marathon

[tight ether]

I've rocked squads with a knife bruh

[cold stump]

its easy to get, easy to lose

[neon crag]

cause ik im gonna love it

[twilit sparrow]

I wish they give us the white knife that Charter holds in the arachne cinematics

[neon crag]

id say music, cinematic trailers are always 10/10s aswell

[cold stump]

id imagine we will get knife skins, no idea about it tho

[twilit sparrow]

It might be, but that requires build crafting

[fresh raptor]

You cannot wear that arachne tag with pride saying this
