[neon crag]

nvm

[karmic sable]

I dont remember having to buy a dungeon key for Final "Shape

[kindred vigil]

It has a dungeon key

U can check in the game store

[twilit sparrow]

they wont do that, helldivers 2 monetization is the way they go

bps and skins

thats it

[kindred vigil]

did you buy the 100$ edition

[neon crag]

im terrified of it and the only way theyll get me outta that mindset is to prove me wrong

[twilit sparrow]

sony aint stupid

[tropic creek]

Give me the key to your dungeon

[neon crag]

fingers crossed they see the vision for this

[twilit sparrow]

bro... they already apply it, they dont need to see the vision lol

[neon crag]

make your money from launch, cosmetics, battle passes and go make d3 while leaving a solid team to work on marathon

[soft wolf]

sometimes they are

[neon crag]

d3 can be the next cash cow for them idc

just leave me my beloved marathon

[soft wolf]

+100 charisma

[karmic sable]

Expansion model for an extraction shooter will never work. Otherwise the playerbase will revolt

[twilit sparrow]

i mean yeah they cancelled killzone chad game to give us forbidden shit west with some ginger nobody protagonist

but thats not the point

[sacred agate]

Doubt it

[karmic sable]

on Destiny it works because its a looter shooter

[neon crag]

i fully agree its just a fear i have

[outer lichen]

Fuck D3 make something original

[kindred vigil]

I want a new kill zone with 3's style so bad

[neon crag]

they did Marathon

[soft wolf]

real

[kindred vigil]

I will kiss someone for a killzone 3 remaster

[twilit sparrow]

no you will eat forbidden zero and ghost of shit slop

[kindred vigil]

please sony

[sacred agate]

But that would be smart and Destiny players don’t seem to get that

[soft wolf]

well

[karmic sable]

D2 fanbase:

[soft wolf]

[neon crag]

what would be funny is if they make a d3 and the playerbase says yeah this is buns and goes back to d2

[karmic sable]

We need something original
Bungie does something original
NO We need you working on D2 and make D3

[neon crag]

same thing happened with d1 when d2 launched bless

[kindred vigil]

classic

[twilit sparrow]

D2 players aint the brightest deadly

They still play D2 which is peer to peer

[soft wolf]

truth nuke

[neon crag]

i mean ill be honest idc what bungie does next as long as they dont screw up marathon

[outer lichen]

No the people that wanted something original are playing it, it's just the D2 mouthbreathers that want more D2/D3

[neon crag]

cause this is genuinely the game i wanna sink my teeth into for years

[karmic sable]

Yeah, I meant to have it with the message i sent earlier but i accidently pressed sent

[twilit sparrow]

D2 same tier of people who still play world of warcraft ''noooo i dont want world of warcraft 2 with good graphics and action combat, I WILL MISS MY LITTLE BEAR MOUNT''

[karmic sable]

It was supposed to be with this

[outer lichen]

I'm hook line and sinker for marathon, if this game crashes and burns I might legit hang up the PC for a few months, my final push to touch grass XD

[soft wolf]

if they end up making a modern marathon trilogy with this, a singleplayer game and maybe some more niche genre or something. cinema

[neon crag]

if this game flops ill just stick with monster hunter but this is literally all i want from a shooter

[solid wedge]

will there be a playtest before release?

[karmic sable]

It would be dope if they remastered OG trilogy with NuMarathon visuals, but i dont think they will

[neon crag]

extraction shooters fulfil my gamblin desires with its fear factor of losing everything

no other fps genre gives me that feeling

[sacred agate]

Even if it’s not the most sound business decision for Bungie they seem to really think it’s a great idea

[soft wolf]

lool, just like csgo and lol

[outer lichen]

Dude psychological horror shooter in marathon universe would go hard asf

[karmic sable]

Yes, Open Access weekend which got confirmed on multiple platforms for about 8 times

[neon crag]

and no offence but arc, tarkov dont really slap as hard as marathon idc

[tropic creek]

I still hope that they add some horror elements to it

[sacred agate]

They either remake OG trilogy or make 1 single player experience, I doubt they do the latter

[soft wolf]

i dont think either, else they would've done it before making a friggin marathon extraction shooter

[karmic sable]

agreed

[outer lichen]

They swing way too hard on either side of the TTK spectrum for me personally

[tropic creek]

Will there be a way to try out the game before it releases ?

[soft wolf]

bungie, hire this dude

[neon crag]

its just the pace of them arent as satisfying as marathon imo

im fine with a long TTK if the gunplay is satisfying

[soft wolf]

we can only hope..

[sacred agate]

That’s what I’m saying, it’s right there in front of them

[neon crag]

plus shells really make the game fresh tbh

[soft wolf]

y e s

[neon crag]

if i ever get burnt out of one another will freshen things up for me

but its really the endgame of marathon that sold me

[sacred agate]

There will be a preview weekend no confirmation when that is yet

[outer lichen]

Hear me out, Doom 2016 level quality of remake, but with more aspects of something like Dead Space, while still being a mobile shooter

[neon crag]

i mean that fear factor of doing something similar to a raid with the potential of random people killing yuo during it

my days its cinema

[soft wolf]

holyy

[sacred agate]

If big streamers start sticking with Marathon it could be gg for Destiny 3

[neon crag]

i mean id assume that the funds they get from marathon will be put towards their next big release

whether thats d3 or a new Ip who knows but id put money on them making a d3

[quartz gate]

Or more Marathon

[outer lichen]

Like yeah you're still a superhuman soldier, but also these are genetic freaks of nature massacring the crew of the ship and experimenting on them, shit should be scary asf

[sacred agate]

Yeah cause destiny 3 is logically the best thing for them to release next 🥀

[tropic creek]

No they should jump to destiny 4

[neon crag]

whether its logical or not to us doesnt really matter im just guessing what theyll do next

[sacred agate]

It’s the players saying it’s next not them

So it’s Destiny player logic

[neon crag]

im just happy with marathon idc that much about d2

[solid wedge]

do we have a date?

[soft wolf]

they should put it into anything marathon

[outer lichen]

Specifically the Titan crayon munchers

[tropic creek]

Cant wait for the Marathon x Fortnite time

[soft wolf]

a destiny singleplayer game would be fire asf too though imo

[neon crag]

i hope they invest heavily into maintaining marathon for years but if they make $$$ of it they should work on another project aswell imo

but as long as it doesnt affect the future of marathon

[soft wolf]

yea but another marathon project pls bungie, dont fumble the bag

[void gull]

Hi guys

[outer lichen]

Yaknow I might be interested in a battlefield-esque marathon game surrounding a war between corporations

[sacred agate]

Marathon single player experience

[neon crag]

tbh idk what more i could ask for regarding marathon with what were getting

[soft wolf]

lmaooo, thisreminds me of the "ok but how does this affect lebrons legacy" meme 😭 😭

[neon crag]

assuming it gets regular updates

[vague hound]

Live events

[soft wolf]

hi

[tropic creek]

Is once a year good ?

[neon crag]

a pve gamemode for marathon could be dope if thats on teh cards

[misty onyx]

Need someone to make a traxus edit with the dj khaled lion video

[tropic creek]

ELLLOOOO

[neon crag]

i was hoping for major seasonal updates XD

[vague hound]

Its bungie there will be weekly patches

[outer lichen]

If the updates are insanely good yes

[sacred agate]

And there’s the cherry on top for your thread of replies

[soft wolf]

a singleplayerrrrrrrr experienceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[soft wolf]

could work, ngl

[neon crag]

hey im a pvp guy but im not against giving the people what they want

[vague hound]

Yeah live events is the way to do it if they wanna do a war or something

That'd be so cool

[sacred agate]

Couldn’t we just loud onto maps in giant teams and go to war

[soft wolf]

well, now that i think about it more, it makes more sense in f2p games... in paid games regular events would suit better i guess

[indigo summit]

What's up goofballs

[sacred agate]

The maps are battlefield esque scale

[soft wolf]

the sky/roof/ceiling

[indigo summit]

Second funniest person in the server has arrived 😏

[outer lichen]

You missed an idea I posted earlier in here,

Basically contracts that mark you with the cosmetics of a specific corporation, say a sleeve with their markings or something, and a listed enemy corporation in the contract, if you kill shells that are pledged to the opposing corporation you get bonus loot/payouts when you turn the contract in

[vague hound]

Who the first funniest ?

[indigo summit]

Scary jester

I love that guy

[soft wolf]

so kinda like the warframe factions stuff ?

[vague hound]

That is a awesome idea too

[outer lichen]

Maybe idk I don't play warframe

[vague hound]

I said live events for battlefields-esque war

You said that right

[outer lichen]

Ye

[vague hound]

If they wanna do something like that with building destruction and shi

[outer lichen]

My thing tho is I think the corpo wars should happen on Mars

[vague hound]

Mars already suffering 😭

#leavemarsalone

[indigo summit]

Mars is cooked 😭

[sacred agate]

I’ve been saying we should get a faction pledge cosmetic, specifically an armband lol

[soft wolf]

you think that works with the marathon artstyle n the way buildings are designed in this game n stuff? i honestly doubt it

[indigo summit]

We should def get runner skins for each faction

[karmic sable]

Mars on Bungie IP’s geniunely is cursed

[sacred agate]

And having contracts that make the pledge have an effect on matches would make it even better

[indigo summit]

I mean they said the codex will give you cosmetics and there's codex pages for each faction so its a possibility

[sacred agate]

We do get that

[karmic sable]

On Destiny it got kidnapped and then Savathün’s throne world was there and on Marathon its geniunely sufferin

[indigo summit]

Oh yeah it's a hellhole every time

[vague hound]

I mean it's upto them how they make it work but I can definitely see it happening on maps with bigger buildings

[arctic sinew]

You would think that I’dve learnt my lesson the first time I got muted for an hour by saying a word

[indigo summit]

Even before it got kidnapped it sucked

[outer lichen]

Durandal Lite XD

[soft wolf]

hm, would be interesting to see

[indigo summit]

I've been muted twice, happens to the best of us

[sacred agate]

You don’t need destruction to have good large scale wars

[indigo summit]

There should definitely be less mute time though

[arctic sinew]

I said trumpet without the et

[outer lichen]

The automod is on a hair trigger fr

[urban kayak]

Does anyone know if there will be an open beta type of thing

[indigo summit]

An hour for saying a word you didn't even realize was banned is kinda crazy

[soft wolf]

is Jane Marathon the female version of John Marathon? 😭

[vague hound]

This is true too

[karmic sable]

And on Renegades the Imperium killed every Ghost and Lightbearer there

[sacred agate]

Yes

[arctic sinew]

Yes

[soft wolf]

jane pork is calling 📞

[urban kayak]

Do you know when it is

[outer lichen]

No

[soft wolf]

loool

[arctic sinew]

[outer lichen]

Believe me I want it too

[arctic sinew]

Ouch my toe hurts

[indigo summit]

Nope, apparently there's gonna be a state of play the week of the 12th though and I'd bet money on it getting announced then

[vague hound]

Is John marathon ur husband ?

[soft wolf]

like a true patriot 🦅

[arctic sinew]

Buddy o pal no

[sacred agate]

Please share this with dev man

[outer lichen]

It would be a banger time to announce an open play weekend for that weekend lol

[outer lichen]

How

[soft wolf]

hit up your bungie contacts man 🗣️

[arctic sinew]

I stubbed my toe so hard today

It started bleedin

[soft wolf]

oh

[arctic sinew]

I’m probably dead rn

[indigo summit]

I mean it also gets way more eyes on the game, marathon is definitely doing much better than last year but outside of people actually looking at it outside observers dont rlly know what's going on with it

[soft wolf]

rip

[outer lichen]

Don't do that

[arctic sinew]

Really

[indigo summit]

Yeowch

[arctic sinew]

No way

[outer lichen]

Yep

[vague hound]

33 days until marathon

[soft wolf]

ok but is this lore relevant?

[indigo summit]

Yeah

[soft wolf]

how

[indigo summit]

I'm on fire destroyer from cinematic I said so

[soft wolf]

liaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[indigo summit]

Nananana booboo

[soft wolf]

😭

[outer lichen]

This whole discord is just one of Durandal's psychotic episodes we aren't real

[arctic sinew]

This shit sent me to half a heart ong

[indigo summit]

✋😛🤚

[vague hound]

We rampant

[soft wolf]

[soft wolf]

eat a golden apple n ur fine

[arctic sinew]

Okey

[indigo summit]

Yummy

[vague hound]

Somebody make an absolute cinema sticker of thief

And vandal

[indigo summit]

Absolute Marathon

[arctic sinew]

Absolute MARATHON

hahaha

[outer lichen]

One night around half the rage baiters in this discord and we could probably send an AI rampant overnight

[indigo summit]

I think slop might be able to do it by himself

[vague hound]

What is that ?!

Bro drinking himself

[ionic oak]

Think about it

[indigo summit]

Thought experiment

[soft wolf]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

[outer lichen]

I don't want to think about anything coming from someone with that username lmfao

[ionic oak]

It's just a username don't be scared

[sacred agate]

It’s just two letters switched

[ionic oak]

1738

[pulsar cradle]

sup chuds

[molten flax]

ayy

[sacred agate]

Relevant lore

[molten flax]

i want you to be mine again

[outer lichen]

Time to hit the sack for me

[soft wolf]

we dont want the pin for your bank account

[soft wolf]

chudding it rn

[arctic sinew]

Fraud
Yesterday

[pulsar cradle]

i awake and people go to sleep, just shows how ppl make space for the kings arrival

[indigo summit]

Are you still a skeleton or did you fix that

[soft wolf]

gn unc

[indigo summit]

Gn

[outer lichen]

It's 4am bruh I had work today

[ionic oak]

Is this game good I never tried it

[pulsar cradle]

why are you hitting your sack tho

[indigo summit]

Gross dude

[soft wolf]

holyy, get your sleep

[pulsar cradle]

fr so gross

[soft wolf]

very

[pulsar cradle]

its not good, its peak

GUYS STOP ABUSING ME

[ionic oak]

I will pre order next week thanks

[indigo summit]

I will preorder now

[outer lichen]

I can't wait for my collectors edition

[indigo summit]

After someone sends me the money

[soft wolf]

W sheep activity

[indigo summit]

🙏

[pulsar cradle]

but sheep are cute

and cuddly

[sacred agate]

They’re mid

[pulsar cradle]

me im more of a donkey guy

[molten flax]

they stink

[pulsar cradle]

i love donkeys

[outer lichen]

Bro launch day is gonna be hell for doing contracts if they're anywhere near as scripted as Tarkov's

[pulsar cradle]

they so chill, someone in my village owns three

[sacred agate]

Wdym scripted

[soft wolf]

valid

[pulsar cradle]

lmaooo contracts are hell anytime lmao, especially after wipes

[soft wolf]

bait 🫃

[outer lichen]

The order of contracts is always the same, every single person has exactly the same quests for the same places and things on wipe

[soft wolf]

what doesnt

[sacred agate]

Yeah that’s how marathon is

So when you have early objectives that require players to go to a location it’ll get tough

[outer lichen]

Yeah launch day is gonna be hell lol

[sacred agate]

People will get farmed lol

And I will be farming players and helping them

[pulsar cradle]

im so excited to play rook and betray ppl

[soft wolf]

🥀

[pulsar cradle]

its gonna be amazing

[soft wolf]

i hate u

[pulsar cradle]

because

ROOK IS NO PAWN RAGHHHHHHHHHH

[outer lichen]

You say that like rook won't be taken out back on sight every time

[pulsar cradle]

nah id win

[sacred agate]

Rooks get shit done, they aren’t you pawns to carry around

[old hollow]

Why is rook called that

[tribal depot]

it’s the same shit with tarkov, if the rooks are walking out with ALL OF MY LOOT bros getting GUNNED DOWN

[pulsar cradle]

you wont catch me when i run into a horde of uesc undetected and i set up ambushes inside building stalking you

[sacred agate]

He moves like a rook, only horizontal and vertical

[old hollow]

Is it easier for rooks to extract

[indigo summit]

Sounds hard

[outer lichen]

Rooks better have separate extract points like scavs do in tarkov. I hope so.

[prisma edge]

Probably the shorthand for 'rookie'.

[pulsar cradle]

because ROOK IS NO PAWN. RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[pulsar cradle]

they wont

[tribal depot]

that would be fyeeee

[outer lichen]

Wack

[indigo summit]

It doesn't seem like it, but it's also much easier in this to hop into an already active extract than it is in Tarkov, if you time it right you can leave immediately

[pulsar cradle]

but rook perk is literally cloaking to the ai so its chill

[pulsar cradle]

git gud

[teal condor]

Chatgpt summarize this chat

[sacred agate]

Dude you could literally have the entire lobby exfil at one point as long as u all fit in the circle

[pulsar cradle]

also extract is fast asf you dont need a seperate one

[outer lichen]

Sure lemme 1v3 a stacked team with the lobby leftovers XD

[karmic sable]

And as long as no Arachne runners yearn for blood

[sacred agate]

Where’s my shield to arachnes sword/dagger? I need it, it must be stopped

[indigo summit]

The chat seems to be discussing the runner shell "Rook" and how it will function in comparison to the other runners and the similar "Scav" mode in the game Escape from Tarkov.

[pulsar cradle]

boohoo, your talking about takrov where one pea shooter can end your run, use your head bro, play strategically, scope out zone prior, there is no loss to playing rook bro

[sacred agate]

Doable

Skill

[indigo summit]

It takes a bit to call down but if your whole team is in it it's like 10 seconds right?

I mean it's probably the same for rook too right, that'll make it easier

[pulsar cradle]

yes, bro extract is hard in this game yes, but this guy is acting like the whole point of playing rook isnt being solo, like cmon dawg

[karmic sable]

Normally its 30, but upon one team enters to it, it goes to 10 seconds

[indigo summit]

Yeah

Once your whole squad is in it shortens to ten

[pulsar cradle]

Rook is deadass invis to the ai you can literaly use the ai to your advantage lmao

[indigo summit]

I hope the cloak stays if you shoot so you can have a lil uesc army to back you up

[frigid valley]

Rook - "GO MY MINIONS WHILST I LOOT THIS BOX"

[sacred agate]

When do we get rook prime who is an actual runner that’s a robot and can turn all ai against enemy teams

[prisma edge]

On cooldown

[pulsar cradle]

literally his playstyle

[pulsar cradle]

dont matta

[outer lichen]

They made it sound like the rook cloak ability is very much not a long term thing

[indigo summit]

It'll probably last like 20 seconds max

[pulsar cradle]

doesnt matta, its still has hella utility

[sacred agate]

Bungie give us rook hat cosmetics, nothing else for him just hats, pls give us hats

[indigo summit]

Lmao

[karmic sable]

Its enough to get you out of problems or make you traverse a POI without triggering AI

[pulsar cradle]

especcially when the ai has nutty aim and shreds your shields ez asf

[sacred agate]

Gives you enough time to avoid large clusters at pois

[vague hound]

I hope this games ai is

Good

Like really good

[outer lichen]

Halo 3 Elites level AI

[vague hound]

You gotta think before fighting them kinda good

[frigid valley]

AAAAAGHH WOBOBA

[pulsar cradle]

its bungie, the ai is rlly good from personal exp

[obsidian quartz]

laso elites

[pulsar cradle]

they deadahh push you if your low on shields n shit,

[outer lichen]

WORT WORT WORT

[sacred agate]

Well I think it would be reasonable to say that it depends on the map, and it’s good to have that variation

[karmic sable]

Even oh April Alpha when the AI was nerfed, they still mimicked real players

They rushed you when you were trying to heal and pushed into buildings to kill you

[frigid valley]

IMTHEMEH IAMTHEMEH

[indigo summit]

I hope that's only for the actual higher tier enemies, like the grunts should definitely not be braindead but I hope it's not a challenge every time you fight any UESC at all

[sacred agate]

I’m sure cryo ai is crazy

[karmic sable]

They fully thirst you aswell so you dont get easily revived

[indigo summit]

Oh for sure

[pulsar cradle]

the bosses are also TANKYYY deff need alpt of teamwork and prep for it

not no ez task

[outer lichen]

Having the weather affect their capabilities would be cool, like maybe rain slows down their acquisition/response times

[sacred agate]

Yeah that’s definitely an interesting mechanic in this game that I was not expecting

[karmic sable]

Yeah, because according to the Vidoc the AI in that map are elite level

[frigid valley]

just shoot them 5head

[pulsar cradle]

regardless of head they strong asf trust

[indigo summit]

I mean you can get rezzed from completely dead so it's not that nuts

It'll just take longer

[pulsar cradle]

takes long tho, esp since teams are always rotating the map,

[indigo summit]

Yeah

[sacred agate]

Even the basic units?

[outer lichen]

They made it sound like raid difficulty tbh

[indigo summit]

It'll probably be all types but higher amounts of elites

[pulsar cradle]

time is key to this game, take too long to fight you risk third party, take long to take out ai or bosses, third party.

[karmic sable]

That I don’t really know but they said Cryo has the most elite level enemies and highest geared players

[pulsar cradle]

from what is suggests there is gonna be a shi ton of basic units but also special units

[sacred agate]

Gotcha I’m just curious if they tune up difficulty on all enemy types

[indigo summit]

I doubt it

[pulsar cradle]

in my mind, the cryo function as a funnel, as closer you get to the main vault the tighter the map gets bringing players closer, its basically a rat race and you gotta be quick if you want to get through the vaults, take too long and the ai will kill you before people do lol

[indigo summit]

It'd be kinda dumb for the enemies who you're used to how many shots they take to die to get tankier for no reason, it'll probably just be upped amounts of more difficult enemies

[pulsar cradle]

the difficulty is made from , enemy type and quantity

[indigo summit]

Exactly

[pulsar cradle]

no one gets buffed just the type of units that appear and how many

[indigo summit]

I hate when games just make basic enemies tankier for no reason and call it more difficult

[sacred agate]

Why would health be what they tune, I’m talking about their fighting intelligence

[pulsar cradle]

and theirs a ton of variants

[pulsar cradle]

figghting is the same since the ai is rllyy smart as is

[wispy yacht]

Open beta date ?

[indigo summit]

I mean I doubt that too, changing how the enemies function seems way too convoluted compared to just adding more of them

[sacred agate]

Not really

[pulsar cradle]

we dont know

[indigo summit]

No clue

[sacred agate]

They are legitimate clankers

[wispy yacht]

Any guesses ?

[pulsar cradle]

thats good ai, most ai sit in cover and jerk it

[frigid valley]

soon.tm

[pulsar cradle]

close to before the release

[indigo summit]

Apparently there's gonna be a state of play the week of the 12th so it'll probably be announced then

[karmic sable]

There are tiers to enemies because basic enemies are standart blue, elite enemies are dark blue, minibosses are white/lilac and bosses are dipped in red

[indigo summit]

Oh hey it's February

One month closer to peak

Hype

[arctic sinew]

Marathon will come out the day after the day before its release date

[sacred agate]

13-16

[wispy yacht]

I am extremely excited for this game, the art style is so unique loved it

I hope they have good servers for asia region

[karmic sable]

I assume around 20-23. Makes sense

[outer lichen]

I mean Bungie is still the creator of OG halo AI, if there's something they can do right it should be that

[pulsar cradle]

the ai IS good in this game, im telling you first hand, trust broskie

[outer lichen]

I was agreeing?

[sacred agate]

Some of them are smart

[pulsar cradle]

i know

[frigid valley]

gotta have a few dumb ones though you know. for fun

[sacred agate]

Some of them are storm troopers

[outer lichen]

Grunts be like

[karmic sable]

The AI is amazing. ofc not Arc levels of amazing(because their AI uses Machine Learning to adapt to players) but Marathon AI is still a huge threat to players

[vague hound]

What if we blow up earth from tau ceti

[frigid valley]

i mean Arc's AI is cool because of machine learning but it can be REALLY dumb still

[pulsar cradle]

different ai behaviour not rlly comparable

[pulsar cradle]

lmao

[karmic sable]

Totally

[sacred agate]

For what purpose lmao 😭

[pulsar cradle]

shredders are dumb asf lmao

[frigid valley]

Watch as I get this leaper stuck in this shack and kill him

[vague hound]

Tau ceti supremacy

[karmic sable]

While yes their behaviors are different, Arc’s AI heavily benefits from its Machine Learning traits

[outer lichen]

Darandal just casually throwing the Marathon wreck at earth at light speed

[molten flax]

🫃

[pulsar cradle]

tau ceti is NOT safe lmao

[frigid valley]

Funny little guys they are

[vague hound]

Man we humans we can make anything safe

We would fkin eat the phor as delicacies if we could

[outer lichen]

Being able to board and loot the marathon would be so goddamn cool btw, imagine going in there and it's just littered with Pfhor/Human corpses from 80 years ago frozen in time after life support died

[pulsar cradle]

tell that to what happened on the marathon and tau ceti, go watch what happened to the humans in the cinematic lolololl

[sacred agate]

I wish marathon ship extractions were escape pods or something like that

[karmic sable]

While seeing the Phfor would be amazing, we gotta remember that in NuMarathon we do not know the existence of the aliens in the lore yet

[vague hound]

One battleroid was proving too much for them

[vague hound]

Just one

Imagine an army

[frigid valley]

not dropping into the map in a drop pod 😔

[pulsar cradle]

oh i bet cryo is just SCRATCHING the surface of the marathon madness that is this aliens and stuff, its gonna be great

[pulsar cradle]

a battle what m8

[outer lichen]

Maps where the AI are just Pfhor would be so dope

[vague hound]

The character we play as in original marathon

[sacred agate]

There’s a segment of the marathon ship which has a destroyed opening, could do zero G there

[pulsar cradle]

they have teleport tech lol, drop pods jus would give away position (lore wise)

[pulsar cradle]

possibly

[karmic sable]

Mjolnir Recon Unit 54, aka the Security Officer aka the Battleroid

[pulsar cradle]

oh yeah mb, i was talking about nu marathon 2025

[outer lichen]

AKA reanimated corpse cyborg

[sacred agate]

I didn’t say drop pod

[vague hound]

Its still the same universe

Only the player characters changed

[pulsar cradle]

wrong response jus too lazy to change it lol

[sacred agate]

When did they say this

[vague hound]

Its 2893 in nu marathon

[outer lichen]

They never said otherwise

[pulsar cradle]

its the same universe

[vague hound]

The message from leela and our original character

Was sent in 2800

With leela specifically saying that I will take 93 years to reach earth

This message lead to corpos coming to tau ceti

Thats is why there is this huge 93 years gap

[exotic citrus]

does anyone know when open beta is

[outer lichen]

Only reason we're at Tau Ceti is basically one massive illegal salvage operation to recoup costs for the corps

[sacred agate]

No date yet

[vague hound]

Yeah thats it

And the runners whonare doing it want money

They in dept

[sacred agate]

Recoup costs, they’re not after anything of value beyond that?

[pulsar cradle]

they will announce no worries

[vague hound]

Even the shell money comes from thier pockets

And corpos take advantage of that

[outer lichen]

If they were why would they tell a simple contractor?

[pulsar cradle]

this

the whole point of the runners is this lmao

bros on the dot

[arctic sinew]

Hello

[sacred agate]

I thought you meant we were recouping the corporation’s cost by collecting valuable material for them

[arctic sinew]

[outer lichen]

Anything left behind after the death of the colony is valuable material to them that's why they're illegally salvaging it

[dark yoke]

When is traxxus getting their marketable animal huh

[arctic sinew]

Hmm

[arctic sinew]

The lion

[sacred agate]

Literally lion is this bait?

[arctic sinew]

The black lion

[dark yoke]

Yeah but he’s not an emote

[sacred agate]

Can’t market anything without an emote

[arctic sinew]

Staryu running is terrifying

[outer lichen]

Each of the corps poured literal billions into Tau Ceti, a dead colony isn't going to make money, might as well just steal back all the shit you sent there

[pulsar cradle]

[arctic sinew]

Alright I’m really sick and tired honestly imma sleep

Good morning runners! Let's get this gaming train started! I'm waiting for you on HIGHGUARD

[wary herald]

They need to cut off your limbs

[delicate berry]

i just somehow check here at the perfect times when highguard is mentioned

its like i feel an unseen force beckoning me towards it

[hallow sky]

It's your sleeper agent activation phrase.

[delicate berry]

highguard...

[dark yoke]

Geoff what’s your opinion on 5v5

[delicate berry]

love it

havent played it yet

[wary herald]

See you on the highguardfield

[mortal dragon]

is it good?

[wary herald]

No

I am paid to promote it

[delicate berry]

im watching you

[iron musk]

Highguard does not seem good. Honestly what were they thinking i dont get it

[void gull]

Im trying okay

[dark yoke]

I see the vision with highguard

It alright imo

[void gull]

Ive only been awake for like 2 hours im in withdrawals

[tender nest]

Will they add new shells post launch? If so will they be paid?

[dark yoke]

Yes, but we don’t know the exact monetization they have planned

[scenic meteor]

Geoff are u a top or bottom

[craggy flax]

UNO SKIP -February

[tender nest]

Oh

[scenic meteor]

I would imagine new shells are free but nobody knows for sure

[tender nest]

Shells should be free in my opinion

[keen zinc]

At the very least everything in the first year will come with the game, aside from seasonal rewards passes probably

[dark yoke]

I think there’s a very good chance they are

[tender nest]

Only cosmetics should be paid

[glacial bane]

wth are you talking about

[hallow sky]

Yeah, I would imagine it's only gonna be cosmetics for new shells

[scenic meteor]

Tim I’m gonna take ur breakfast away

[glacial bane]

scooby coming out swinging

[crimson kite]

there will be paid DLCs guys

[scenic meteor]

Sez who

Wtf

Dlc for my multiplayer game who does that??? 😭

[scenic meteor]

The only dlc they could do is paid shells

[keen zinc]

I pray nobody ever offers you candy in their white van

[short valley]

Thats something

[hallow sky]

I'm glad reward passes are permanent.

[karmic sable]

cooking some dark evil balatro mod collections that would probably kill my PC while waiting for Marathon

[crimson kite]

you can see in standard edition we get maps, Runner shells, events, etc.) as the year progresses

"the year" not years

[karmic sable]

Its probably just wording

[crimson kite]

tarkov has paid dlcs

And if Marathon map is truly like raid type mechanics from Destiny then we won't get it for free

[karmic sable]

to be fair those are editions, PvE and Tarkov Arena

Not main game content

[keen zinc]

Cryo archive comes with the game on launch, first floor of the marathon

[scenic meteor]

Tarkov has no main game dlc

Expansions sure

[hallow sky]

Cryo archive is just gonna be super endgame. It's all going to be free

[karmic sable]

but those are Stash related upgrades

and a better secure container

[bitter canopy]

I wouldn't mind doing smaller DLC every year or two TBH but not if you have to pay for skins etc.

[karmic sable]

No main game content is under DLC for Tarkov(They tried though and the community backlashed HARD)

[keen zinc]

What did tarkov gate behind dlc in the main game

[karmic sable]

Starting gear, Stash size, upgraded secure containers

[crimson kite]

I'm 99% sure Bungie will make more endgame maps on Marathon ship each year and if it truly is like raid type mechanics then I don't think it is going to be free

[kindred vigil]

i

[vernal oxide]

will be marathon aviable for Russia or Kazakhstan?

[crimson kite]

runners I can see being free but actual content like that won't be free

[hallow sky]

The whole eod and unheard edition for tarkov is really insane to me.

[brittle dew]

not directly. but vpn works i think

[scenic meteor]

If they start locking maps behind dlc im out in 0.00001 seconds ✋😐🤚

I’d rather have to pay for shells than maps that’s some bs

[bitter canopy]

Eh, I would rather pay for more consistent maps then for skins

[crimson kite]

and we also have to consider hiring cost of 33 world class VAs and making story and cool cutscenes/ cinematics, which I don't thiink will be free either

[wary herald]

It's on steam and console stores work everywhere

[hallow sky]

Bungie needs to give me a weaveworm dlc

[vernal oxide]

im about TAPIR error

[scenic meteor]

Being locked out of gear that can only drop from an exclusive boss in an extraction shooter would suck ass

[bitter canopy]

The way I see it by the time you reach endgame maps you're going to have good stuff anyways but we will just have to see what they do

[gilded olive]

I read a youtube comment talking briefly about cryo archives, is it actually in the playtest currently? I thought it was going to be added after the official launch

Was he just lying? Lmao

[obsidian quartz]

yeah making maps and extra content extra paid after making me buy your game is the fastest way for me to stop playing

this is not call of duty

[vernal oxide]

только один человек называет этот город метросити

[teal condor]

[brittle dew]

you could kill the people that did the raid and loot their boss loot.

[keen zinc]

Probably the least of their worries. Destiny cutscenes have only gotten better with a great voice cast even though player counts have gone down

if game no good people no buy, thats their main concern lol

[pulsar cradle]

ion think there will be payed dlc tbh

[obsidian quartz]

the vas will be paid by game sales there is no chance in hell they need to make everything else paid for, a battle pass is the absolute most im willing to deal with

[karmic sable]

this aswell, If they were to add paid map dlc's then this would be a big problem

[bitter canopy]

I also can't see the raid weapons being these crazy god tier weapons compared to anything else but who knows

[scenic meteor]

I think the battlepass n skins is the most they’ll do

[karmic sable]

I dont think they wont add paid dlcs as maps

[scenic meteor]

Paid dlc wouldn’t go well if they did it imo

[kindred vigil]

U think ?

[keen zinc]

I'll let yall know how much the entire mtx store costs after I buy it all 💯

[hallow sky]

NuCal burger dlc on day 1 would go hard though

[karmic sable]

On Destiny it works because its majorly PvE looter shooter where your loot doesnt drop from your inventory

But on extraction shooter it simply wouldnt work

[pulsar cradle]

theres way too much of a negative stigma to it, any normie who knows nothing about ingame purchases will immediately pull back from the game since they don't want to spend much on games regardless, the scheme for it doesnt make sense for them to charge dlc especially when tarkov received such negative feedback for doing similar shi

[pulsar cradle]

this

[bitter canopy]

I just can't see a battle pass being sustainable for development at all

[keen zinc]

Why not? Especially with them being permanent

[karmic sable]

If you add a paid map DLC with new loot to it, you would need to add some sort of protection so people who didnt pay for the DLC cant get the loot from your corpse

[pulsar cradle]

battle passes are good money and cosmetics, everyone wins since they are cheap and typically one time purchases giving you enough coins to by the next

[karmic sable]

And if you do that, basically everyone will be mad

[raw yarrow]

how many maps will be on release?

[karmic sable]

And Bungie is seeing that paid DLC route is no longer profitable as they were doing on D2

[pulsar cradle]

4

[raw yarrow]

thanks

[gilded olive]

Will cryo be available on release?

[pulsar cradle]

i think the 4th map tho comes out abit later tho

[karmic sable]

4, 3 of them are avaible on launch and the 4th one will be accessible after some small time on launch

[scenic meteor]

Technically 3 🤓 cryo archive releases later

[keen zinc]

Right, the cosmetics in a battle pass usually add up to like a hundred dollars or more worth if you bought them individually from the store

[karmic sable]

less and less people are buying D2 DLC's after EOF

[pulsar cradle]

which is fine cus most ppl wont touch cryo until weeks later

[bitter canopy]

Maybe more people buy battle passes then I'm aware of but I never really cared for them, but I suppose I also don't know much a few skins and shell cosmetics cost to make.

[karmic sable]

They know paid dlc's no longer bring the profit they used to

[stiff verge]

You all are great and deserve a nice big piece of strawberry cake today

[pulsar cradle]

yes, and the extra credits you get stack up, battle passes are not the issue here, skin pricing is

[stiff verge]

🍰

[keen zinc]

Most people who main a live service game or at least play it a lot get the seasonal passes

[gilded olive]

Don't mind if I do

[kindred vigil]

40$ battle pass ...tier

[short valley]

NuCal energy drink

[pulsar cradle]

i dont like strawbeery cake

[sturdy summit]

who up painting they tau ceti 4 blue

[pulsar cradle]

imagine lmao

[brittle dew]

idk there probably will be paid runner shells or something like that

[short valley]

What where...

[hallow sky]

Thank you

[pulsar cradle]

no lol

[kindred vigil]

like black cell from cod

[bitter canopy]

But personally I would rather have my cosmetics entirely earnable in game because it always ruins cosmetics to have them be paid

[scenic meteor]

Peak

[stiff verge]

Then you may have another type of food fitting to your dietary preferences

[pulsar cradle]

brother the corpos have us by the nuts we dont get free cosmetics no more lol

[keen zinc]

Would be great, but not the reality today for almost any game. What'll hit them bad is if the ratio of paid to earnable cosmetics is fucked

[pulsar cradle]

been like this for 10 years

[kindred vigil]

give it skin gacha Scooby will buy it

[bitter canopy]

TBH I don't really care what the reality is that's just my preference, that's why I don't buy paid cosmetics

[hallow sky]

I hope we get some really good earnable cosmetics as more endgame maps come out.

[scenic meteor]

True..

[kindred vigil]

You will get a title and be happy 👍

[pulsar cradle]

also games are hella expensive to run, if you think things can be "how they were" your living a fantasy lol, you want high quality youll likely have to be taxed someplace else, in this case, cosmetics

[kindred vigil]

no more earnable cosmetics

[crimson kite]

I'm just saying from my experience with Destiny. It has yearly paid DLCs and Marathon will prob have it too. It won't be $40 but probably $20 and they will throw one free season pass worth $10

[pulsar cradle]

neeyth how tf you keep changing your pfp, make up your mind bro lol

[scenic meteor]

This isn’t destiny tho

[stiff verge]

Scooby is going to single handetly finance tho entire infrastructure

[hallow sky]

A title would make me pretty happy

[kindred vigil]

I don't think they'll follow Destiny dlc system

But their battle pass and eververse system for sure

[pulsar cradle]

people need to stop treating marathon like a destiny child.

[bitter canopy]

This is why I'm saying I would rather pay for maps that's all

[kindred vigil]

an extraction game having dlcs would be so odd literally no other one does that

[karmic sable]

We are seeing Bungie slowly getting more consumer friendly even on D2 btw, they now allow people to buy old season passes

[crimson kite]

well we are talking about AAA game tho

[karmic sable]

This. Literally NO ONE IN THE GENRE does this

[pulsar cradle]

pay for nothing, only skins. skins are porfitable

the moment you give these companies some slack with actaul content you lost

[kindred vigil]

There's an extraction shooter(?? Kinda? It's a br mix) that did genuinely do that the dlcs

It died after that

[karmic sable]

Bungie doing this wouldn’t be a positive thing

[keen zinc]

Destiny is sustained with bi-yearly 40 dollar dlcs with 80 dollar deluxes. if marathon is successful the sales from the 40 dollar base game will practically be the same thing as them releasing a yearly destiny dlc

[karmic sable]

It would hurt Marathon if you separate players according to map DLC’s

[pulsar cradle]

NEVER let companies block you from content. destiny dlcs should have never been as expensive as they were and ill die on that hill

[elder blaze]

yeah, a lot

[old hollow]

Mfs too lazy to say 2 more letters smh

[bitter canopy]

I don't buy skins so in reality it's a win-win for me I just don't like what it does to cosmetics having them be paid

[celest coyote]

I will personally make sure Bungie doesn’t

[karmic sable]

This I also agree. A D2 DLC shouldn’t be 40$

[elder blaze]

it would be such a bad move

[old hollow]

That hill is full of bodies

[gilded olive]

I think a reasonable compromise is that they could sell exclusive guns that have half the average ttk of a normal gun, but when you buy one from the store they send a hitman to your location so you only have a limited amount of time to enjoy it

[pulsar cradle]

step in bro

[gilded olive]

Thoughts?

[urban barn]

I can see paid dlcs happening in Marathon. But right now their main focus is launch. Things might change depending on how launch goes

[karmic sable]

And considering the hell Bungie went through to recover Marathon? This would straight up KILL the game

[bitter canopy]

Who knows how it's going to be but I imagine it being like the top level is very content, majority of players are going to be in the mid or low to your maps then they Branch off in the Marathon end game maps

[pulsar cradle]

people say its the content that was bad, no bro its the fact i gotta pay 60 for a dlc. like piss off bro,

[scenic meteor]

The only destiny dlc I paid full price for was witch queen

[elder blaze]

but imagining how the game would be profitable in a 2 - 4 year plan is really important

[nimble canyon]

Oh look at that. They listened.

[bitter canopy]

Yeah it did start getting ridiculous but at the beginning taken King was worth it with the cost to content ratio

[nimble canyon]

Does it still run like ass?

[elder blaze]

my guess is just battle passes and skins

[pulsar cradle]

you dont need dlc to be profitbale lol, you have the game price at 40 already, and skins, they can manage ez

[elder blaze]

oh yeah, i agree, dlc's would be the end of the game

[nimble canyon]

Profitbale that's a new one.

[pulsar cradle]

not even and ill die on that, no dlc should be 25+

[karmic sable]

Also lets not forget Sony is still backing them

[keen zinc]

What I'm hearing now is a lot of people don't like the 5v5 lol the core community seems to have figured out 3v3 is more competitive

[nimble canyon]

Behold my bale of hay. It's profitbale.

[karmic sable]

If the game is doing good and brings players, Sony will fund them

[pulsar cradle]

literally

[nimble canyon]

Are you fucking kidding?

[bitter canopy]

I don't know, for the hours I got out of that stuff it was worth it.

[pulsar cradle]

dont matter,

[elder blaze]

i mean, there's arena breakout that's free and there's no dlc, and they are hanging there, it is possible skins only will make the sony shareholders happy lmao

[karmic sable]

Agreed

[charred wyvern]

why cant i post in community art is there a level requirement or smth?

[pulsar cradle]

shi just cattered to 30 year olds with stable jobs instead of the majority of young teens and young adults, thats why the only ppl who touch destiny now is uncs lolooololol

[lost widget]

Good Morning chat

[nimble canyon]

I have not yet played arena breakout infinite.

[old hollow]

they are already pricing their cosmetics and season bullshit like many other games do lmao they dont need dlcs priced like a full damn game

[karmic sable]

#🎨marathon-community-art-chat or #1306781322852696094 ?

[scenic meteor]

Just make shells a obscure currency you can hardly get n make everyone buy it instead of grinding the unlock Ez win

[elder blaze]

yeah but cosmetics and battle passes (with no gameplay advantage) is fine, ppl wil buy and ppl who cant afford wont buy, i dont care about skins and their price

[pulsar cradle]

literally, payed dlc is not profitable in the long run, its a short term business solution not a long term,

[elder blaze]

hell, league's new gacha skin is pretty much 250$ dollars and it sold like hell

[karmic sable]

And we are seeing its results on D2

[nimble canyon]

If it's #1306781322852696094

[keen zinc]

this is a 1% chance but what if marathon makes hella money and they dont gotta try and justify 40+ for destiny dlcs anymore and they drop it down to 20-25 lol

[nimble canyon]

You can see that no has is posted for a while.

[karmic sable]

That ones bee locked for a long time

[bitter canopy]

Lol again, I'm not that old but now that I do have a stable job I would gladly pay $60 a year for the literal thousands of hours I got out of Destiny. I see no other entertainment form that provides that high of a cost to experience ratio

[nimble canyon]

It literally says how old the posts are.

[pulsar cradle]

exactly, great income for abit, then heavy drop cus who tf is coughing up those bones to pay that.

[nimble canyon]

The last one was 04/22/2025

[elder blaze]

60 dollars to play a game i already payed 240 dollars before? IN THIS ECONOMY??

like damn how greedy can you be

[old hollow]

as if they care

[nimble canyon]

League of Legends plays when they try to stop playing league and they've put too much money into it.

[old hollow]

and there are countless games raking in profits with those alone without having dlcs priced like full games

[pulsar cradle]

but you dont lol you pay more than 60 lmao, and the worse thing is the peak of destiny was when everyone was a jit and had their parents to pay for them, when your a teen and a young adult a shi ton of ppl have other costs to concern themselves with, your the minority brother not the majority

[nimble canyon]

Sunk cost fallacy is a helluva drug

Some people refuse to stop playing destiny simply because of how much money they've put into it.

[old hollow]

thank god I never got into destiny 2

a friend gifted me a dlc

then I tried it

[elder blaze]

good skins will sell good, i dont care if they appeal to gooners to make racks, i just want the game to live

[nimble canyon]

Same happens with people who endlessly play League of Legends and have spent so much money on a WoW subscription.

[old hollow]

everywhere I go, whatever I check, there is a paywall

so many different shit to buy what even is the point

[old hollow]

please no bikini glitch

[karmic sable]

Curse of having a game running for 8 years

[fading silo]

Real

[keen zinc]

it's so weird lol like just uninstall I promise they won't take your kids 🔥

[old hollow]

if only there was anything to show for it

[hallow sky]

You spoke her into existence.

[pulsar cradle]

literally 80 percent of the cope with destiny players

[kindred vigil]

*Ohio wacthes*

[nimble canyon]

I want them to remain grounded and in the setting. I don't want them to ruin this game with sloppy skins that have no bearing on the reality and the world building that the game has.

[old hollow]

spending that much money in D2 was their first mistake

[scenic meteor]

The problem is they’ll have to watch their kids if they uninstall they got no other game

[old hollow]

I mean the setting is already colorful and silly as shit

[keen zinc]

ok I get it now

[old hollow]

hard to get out of that

[elder blaze]

you can make someone sexy to sell in the game's vision! lmao

[delicate berry]

bot lane

[nimble canyon]

Yes, but it also maintains a certain type of world building.

[stoic pivot]

colorful yes, silly absolutely not

[nimble canyon]

It's like how you wouldn't slap Nicki Minaj in battlefield.

[keen zinc]

bright colors doesnt equal silly

[pulsar cradle]

like you guys are being milked of your hard earned money and being told its going to somewhere great and amazing, and what do i see the numbers drop harder and harder every damn year, this is destiny,

[delicate berry]

im not actually a bot laner i just play seraphine as support

[scenic meteor]

I didn’t ask for a lane

[old hollow]

the designs seem silly, everything is so simple and boxy, thats silly to me

[bitter canopy]

Not only do I not play destiny any more, but yeah no shit there's other priorities if that's what you want to argue about nobody should be playing games whatsoever 😂. If it was all about the majority decision everyone would have the same opinions and everything would suck lol, I just prefer to pay for content over skins that eventually turn into what people are talking about right now

[old hollow]

I like silly

[delicate berry]

oh, bottom

[nimble canyon]

Also, the setting isn't silly. It's very gritty, semi-realistic and pretty dystopian.

[kindred vigil]

I knew it

[old hollow]

the visuals dont really look that

[elder blaze]

in nature, bright colors FOR SURE dont mean silly lmao, it means I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU EAT ME OR APPROACH ME

[stoic pivot]

ok but like what specifically, is it just the character designs or is there something else

[delicate berry]

i mean id be more surprised if people havent caught on by now

[pulsar cradle]

did you play the tests?

[nimble canyon]

Trust me once you get into certain areas, it's a lot less silly.

[stoic pivot]

cause as someone who's played the game silly is the WRONG word

[nimble canyon]

Judging by the lack of play test roles. I'm going to assume you haven't played yet, which would explain this opinion

[keen zinc]

I haven't played the game and silly is also the wrong word

[stoic pivot]

the literal second contract in October would make casuals scream in terror

[old hollow]

I mean I dont need to see what it looks like, I have eyes

[nimble canyon]

My playtest roles are on another account because this one was banned previously because it was hacked

[stoic pivot]

rip

[old hollow]

the buildings and character designs really

[scenic dragon]

that's because aesthetics in the world of marathon have taken a surreal turn

[old hollow]

the character designs are already straight out of cyberpunk

[elder blaze]

is this ragebait? the game looks silly? lmao

[pulsar cradle]

the media illiteracy is crazy rn. box mean silly, color mean silly. holy slop

[old hollow]

why yall think silly is a bad thing

[delicate berry]

you take that back, marathons artstyle is actually good

[nimble canyon]

I wouldn't call the buildings and the design of the runners silly. I would call them cyberpunk and dystopian.

[hallow sky]

I managed to do it first try. It was a nightmare trying to help others

[stoic pivot]

yeah extremely hard disagree, maybe it seems that way when watching it but it will feel extremely different when you play

[silk abyss]

Do we know about the anti cheat in this game?

[old hollow]

I love cyberpunk designs..

[karmic sable]

Also, Bungie adding paid map packs would go against this statement they made on the Vidoc Blog Post

"Finally, and most importantly, we believe in preserving competitive integrity in Marathon, so survival will never come down to how much money you spend."

[stoic pivot]

I don't think it's a bad thing I just think it's an EXTREMELY poor descriptor for Marathon

[nimble canyon]

Because silly makes me think of some of the stupid skins in call of duty.

[kindred vigil]

that it sucks

[delicate berry]

oh

[old hollow]

not that kinda silly jeez

[pulsar cradle]

its not cyber punk

[nimble canyon]

It's either battle eye or easy anti cheat.

[keen zinc]

I mean it's not bad, but it's clearly not the tone and direction of the game

[old hollow]

the game

[silk abyss]

Thank you

[nimble canyon]

We have lost it

[karmic sable]

BattleEye with kernel + Dedicated Game Servers

[elder blaze]

its not a bad thing, chocolate is a good thing but if you say "this meat tastes like chocolate" people will react lmao

[old hollow]

glitch would fit right in in 2077

[pulsar cradle]

cyber punk is artsyle cyber punk 2077 is game

[old hollow]

I mean the game

[old hollow]

I would eat that

[elder blaze]

damn it sounds horrible LMAOO

[nimble canyon]

Battle eye in itself is a kernel level anti-cheat just like easy anti-anticheat.

[pulsar cradle]

how tf do i know that when we are talking about art direction this whole convo, hollyyyy

[old hollow]

depends, is it meat coated in chocolate?

[kindred vigil]

if it's so kernel why doesn't it pop, corn?

Checkmate

[karmic sable]

Yeah, but it has Kernel Module which you can disable, which is infact disabled on Destiny 2

[scenic meteor]

Battleye has a non kernel option

[nimble canyon]

Which was a horrible choice by the way.

[pulsar cradle]

get out

[keen zinc]

chocolate covered in meat

[elder blaze]

no, the MEAT tastes like chocolate, like eating muscle but it tastes like toblerone

[karmic sable]

I agree

[nimble canyon]

Especially given the amount of hackers I've encountered in PvP.

[urban barn]

if they can balance the shells so it can compete with new shells then it will still be true

[old hollow]

I fw that

[scenic dragon]

cyberpunk is more kitsch and sexed up, marathon is gloomy, sterile, sanitized roblox crash test dummy horror

[karmic sable]

Im talking about MAP'S being paid. not Shells

[old hollow]

what does that even MEAN

[nimble canyon]

Look I'm begrudgingly fine of kernel level anti-cheat as long as they don't Snoop my system too much and they don't decide it's okay to run even when the game is off.

[scenic dragon]

im just typing shit

[stoic pivot]

stop

[old hollow]

it be like that

[nimble canyon]

Bro this isn't it fucking Deus Ex is cyberpunk

You've completely fucked up the design language. None of this makes sense.

What are you doing.

Christ Almighty.

[keen zinc]

bro thinks panam romance scene is cyberpunk artstyle

[kindred vigil]

Marathon > Sterile, clean, plastic

Cyberpunk > Dirtier, more sexual, kitbashy designs (weapons, its optic mods on characters)

is that what ur trying to say

[karmic sable]

Doesnt BattleEye and Easy AntiCheat only work when the game is working?

[nimble canyon]

Whatever God exists, please smite this person.

[scenic dragon]

deus ex is more of a conspiracy game, the aesthetics aren't the main focus

[nimble canyon]

Yes, which is why I'm semi-acceptable of it.

Oh my god you really are just saying shit now

[karmic sable]

I think the only Kernel anticheat that runs by itself on your PC is the Chinese Spyware Vanguard

[old hollow]

you could put glitch next to the moxes

[scenic dragon]

although the art direction on the sequels is pretty cool

[elder blaze]

goated

[nimble canyon]

Yeah, I don't like the Chinese Malware that is Vanguard.

[kindred vigil]

I love riot games Chinese malware

[void gull]

Ive come to an alarming realization

My ps5 is in rest mode

[nimble canyon]

Look in my opinion, if a piece of software regardless of its intent acts like malware or spyware, then it's going to be taken as such, even if it isn't.

[scenic meteor]

Vanguard anti cheat so good it helps your fav game from not having cheaters 🙏

What more could u ask for

[keen zinc]

sometimes riot vanguard gets picked up by d2 battleye as malware 💀

[karmic sable]

literally the reason why i keep opening my PC in Clean Boot option. My brother plays Valorant and his PC cannot run it anymore so he has to play on my PC

[void gull]

And also ive never quit a game ive spent on

[nimble canyon]

If you build an anticheat that behaves like a rootkit, then I'm going to assume it's malicious.

[karmic sable]

Ever since he downloaded Valorant on my PC i always Clean Boot my PC

[keen zinc]

and it boots you until you end the task

[nimble canyon]

Yeah also certain antiviruses pickup vanguard as malicious as well.

Something to do with the heuristics pattern matching known viruses.

[void gull]

I play 2xko on Playstation so I never even consider installing vanguard to be an option

[kindred vigil]

Do you think the corpos don't got a brand deal in the back to keep it installed on ur ps5

U think ur safe

thank again bucko

[nimble canyon]

If you install something that is vanguard based, you either have no care for your computer or you don't understand how it works.

Nyeeth behave yourself

[delicate berry]

vanguard had something to do with the death of my last computer

[keen zinc]

is he ok?

[delicate berry]

im not exactly sure what, but it kept crashing and failing to start up

[nimble canyon]

Nyeeth? Who knows.

[delicate berry]

i gutted that hoe for the SSDs and i threw it away

[karmic sable]

Again, the only reason why i have been opening my PC in Clean Boot is because my brother wants to play Valorant and his PC no longer supports it(no TPM2.0 chip)

[nimble canyon]

That name is really fun to say outloud.

Nyeeth

[void gull]

Nyeeth

[nimble canyon]

Neeyth

[delicate berry]

[delicate berry]

Nyeeth

[nimble canyon]

Neeyth

[void gull]

Nyeeth

[brittle dew]

reminded me of the silksong boss

[kindred vigil]

u fw snapping turtles

[delicate berry]

Nyeeth

[keen zinc]

no just turtles neeyth

[pulsar cradle]

neeyth changed pfp again

[faint night]

The real @delicate berry

[nimble canyon]

Snapping turtles scare me they remind me of Mitch McConnell.

[delicate berry]

Hey 😏

[keen zinc]

do you pronounce your first name like gay-off

[kindred vigil]

It's just orounced like jeff

[nimble canyon]

Do you think if we keep saying their name the wrong way multiple times they'll change it? Or just change icons.

[keen zinc]
