[unborn badger]

holy redemption we can talk again

[delicate berry]

im going to "put a nintendo switch" in it too so i can do that as well

[rough sail]

they mentioned it when they announced the steam frame/machine

I'm a switch 2 chud

🥀

[unborn badger]

chip him with dual zims and songbirds nothing living that 💀

rat as it is

pretty fitting for him anyway

[sharp briar]

actually debating buying a switch 2 in anticipation the new fire emblem

[kindred vigil]

r we serious

[frank crest]

“Let’s see how far they can fly…on borrowed wings.”

[kindred vigil]

Out of ALLLLL switch exclusives

Frienembelm

[rough sail]

I bought it for duskbloods tbh

[sharp briar]

frieren emblem yes

[frank crest]

WE all love nightfall right

[sharp briar]

meowio party

[rough sail]

I couldn't get into fe, tried 3 houses and uhhh shadows of valentia I think was the name?

[sharp briar]

its not for everyone

[rough sail]

I played a good bit of the latter but didn't care much for the former

[sharp briar]

ok good night former current new bestie

[rough sail]

Farewell

[sharp briar]

i’ll see yall later

[delicate berry]

goodnight born on board

[sharp briar]

👋

[kindred vigil]

I only had fun with fire emblem heroes

Warriors*

[sharp briar]

maybe employed neeyth will speak less

[rough sail]

Dynasty warriors Gundam >>>>

[delicate berry]

because it was just dynasty warrior reskin 😭

i wish people could accept criticism of their favorite games

this statement is targetted towards hollow knight fans

i wonder why silksong doesnt have the same fanatical following that hollow knight does

[rough sail]

Depends on the criticism imo

[twilit raptor]

game hard

[delicate berry]

ITS NOT

ITS NOT HARD

THE ENTIRE GAME IS SO EASY

[rough sail]

alot of people stopped playing it bc it was too hard for them

[delicate berry]

AND THATS NOT ME BEING AN ELITIST

THATS JUST ME SAYING IT DOESNT TAKE THAT LONG TO LEARN STUFF IF YOU TRY

WHY ARE THE TOP DOWNLOADED MODS OF HOLLOW KNIGHT INVINCIBILITY HACK AND INFINITE CHARMS

[twilit raptor]

act 3 is definitely hard

[rough sail]

the game is definitely hard but not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. The issue is that everyone was trying to play it as if it were hollow Knight

[twilit raptor]

BECAUSE IT'S HARD

I fully believe anyone can beat it if they want to

[delicate berry]

you may be on to something

silksong is a lot faster

[twilit raptor]

yeah some of the bossfights look fast as hell

didn't play it myself, just watched my gf play it

[delicate berry]

i love it bro its no longer wait for my turn to attack

[twilit raptor]

it looked fantastic and from the bits that I tried it controlled tight as hell

[delicate berry]

because hornet will just throw some BULL shit and kill the boss in 2 seconds 🗣️

[rough sail]

Alot of fights in silksong felt like dances, it was peak

[twilit raptor]

But it IS absolutely a hard game, especially act 3

[delicate berry]

WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE IN HOLLOW KNIGHT

LET ME BE CLEAR

[whole flame]

Obamna

[delicate berry]

maybe so, but i feel like things taking about 2 or 3 extra hits to kill isnt that much of a barrier

sometimes i wonder if my criticisms come from just using the best stuff in the game to beat it

[rough sail]

I kind of never used any tools so alot of fights were very hard for me

[delicate berry]

i abused the hell out of poison cogflies, i wasn on wanderers crest, i spam grapple hooks to get easy hits and small invulnerability

[delicate berry]

hollow knight playstyle 😭

i mean if thats what u enjoy thats fair

[rough sail]

I just didn't find the tools all that fun to use

[delicate berry]

but its also not fair to not use the tools at ur disposal and say game too hard

thats what pisses me off the most

[rough sail]

I'm not saying the game too hard, I am aware that I basically handicapped myself

[delicate berry]

yeye im not talking about u cuz u have a reasonable view on the game

[rough sail]

I think I ended up enjoying the game more bc I love games that fuck me up

[rough sail]

Ah fair

[hybrid forge]

I just ate a..... COOKIE! 🍪

[delicate berry]

waht kind

[kindred vigil]

[lilac lodge]

Bro go to bed

[wintry bough]

I don't wanna

That's a lie. I do. But I'm in slight pain

Making it impossible.

[frank crest]

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[wintry bough]

Aw.... I just noticed my nitro ran out... I went to send an emoji from a different server and they're all greyed out

[glacial bane]

This is terrible news

[wintry bough]

Indeed

[frank crest]

is it impossible for neeyth to not get tomatoed

[languid crest]

is a server tag seen through every discord chat?

[frank crest]

🤔

[wintry bough]

Yes

[twilit raptor]

yea

[frank crest]

holy shit it’s tim apple

[languid crest]

does it seriously go away forever if u take it off😕

[glacial bane]

It me

[glacial bane]

FOREVER

No turning back

[small moon]

can't send emojis from other servers in here at all :(

[stone quarry]

Losing marathon forever would be sad 😔

[glacial bane]

Tru....

[wintry bough]

Well, it doesn't help that my profile is all bland again.

[languid crest]

thats the second person who says it does

i dont believe it tho

[small moon]

i took mine off and put it back on the other day just fine?

[wintry bough]

No, tags are like toggles. Only one at a time tho

[rough sail]

I lied I'm sorry

[stone quarry]

I mean it shouldn't go away forever

[wintry bough]

Hello Lena

[rough sail]

hihi

[frank crest]

cheems

[glacial bane]

Lena. Bed time.

[languid crest]

u guys were liars😕

[rough sail]

u can't tell me what to do

[wintry bough]

They deceive. It is not bedtime

[rough sail]

I'm sorry.....

[teal condor]

Morning

[stuck birch]

Lena is a bot ? 😂

[rough sail]

what

[frank crest]

ts is like early for lena

[rough sail]

I haven't slept

:3

[wintry bough]

Neither have I... Been a long day today

[stuck birch]

I was asking if you're a bot 😂😂😂

[glacial bane]

Please try to get enough sleep. It's more important than water.

[rough sail]

What makes you think I am?

[rough sail]

I'll sleep soon, I get enough sleep, my schedule is just what's messed up

[stuck birch]

or an AI

[glacial bane]

I understand

[rough sail]

Why?

[frank crest]

why sleep when you can marton

[wintry bough]

Ok I gotta ask someone who knows, though I don't expect a straight answer. 3 whiteclaws spread throughout the day, is that bad?

[kindred vigil]

hi tim

[glacial bane]

Hey neeyth

Hru

[languid crest]

any tips on sleeping peeps

[stuck birch]

You are too intelligent 😂😂😂

[rough sail]

not really but I wouldn't do it everyday

[gray surge]

Hi, can I see my points anywhere? I can only see that I have achieved DAC 2..

[rough sail]

thanks, I think...

[languid crest]

if shes ai shes gone rampant because she was lying😠

[rough sail]

True!

[wintry bough]

I have no idea how much my friend is having. They said they had 3 yesterday. But idk their supply.

[rough sail]

They're only 5% so it's not like it's gonna kill them if they don't do it frequently

[wintry bough]

Incorrect. Rampant implies the AI has gone completely berserk.
Misaligned is more accurate.

[kindred vigil]

I'm good tim

hi lena

[stuck birch]

Are you going to do PvP or PvE on Marathon?

[wintry bough]

That's partially what I'm worried about. They're the impulsive type. Rebellious too.

[glacial bane]

Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. No digital screens an hour before bed. Read a book instead. Drink some water right before bed time.

[kindred vigil]

and hey everyone else 🙄

[rough sail]

Pvpve

[rough sail]

Hey neeyth :3

[wintry bough]

Pvpve? Did someone mention Gambit?

[frank crest]

pvp for sure, if i wanted pve then id play arc for the superior ai

[kindred vigil]

be quiet

[wintry bough]

Aww....

[glacial bane]

🖕

[frank crest]

but i mean im not gonna just fully ignore the uesc im just gonna kos

[stuck birch]

PvP is going to be awesome!

[north tusk]

gambit is now illegal

[wintry bough]

I disagree

[stuck birch]

We're going to hunt down the children who aren't allowed to play 😈😈😂

[rough sail]

Chat, do I actually give AI vibes

[glacial bane]

No

[kindred vigil]

No

[frank crest]

wash…are you a clanker perhaps?

[wintry bough]

Neuro levels of AI, yes.

[leaden wharf]

Idk

[grave verge]

I wonder if people will use proxy chat more when the game releases...

[leaden wharf]

I hope lol

[languid crest]

mhm

[frank crest]

are you gathering info for the great clanker uprising

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-gif-1878760417600646737

[grave verge]

In the alpha test, It was never used, content creators and journalists are not the social type. Haha

[wintry bough]

There is no clanker uprising.

Sincerely, a clanker

[frank crest]

sounds likes something a clanker would say

[kindred vigil]

I don't think April had it

[frank crest]

GASP

[kindred vigil]

Unless u mean any test after dat

[rough sail]

Meow

[kindred vigil]

content creators r absolutely social because that's how they get 💰

[grave verge]

Meow

[wintry bough]

Borf

[glacial bane]

Awawa

[frank crest]

FOR THE EMPEROR!

[grave verge]

The alpha test begged to differ

[kindred vigil]

the April didn't have proxy...

(if that what ur referring too)

if not, you weren't allowed to stream any other tests so no use of talking or recording in general

[languid crest]

can someone give me a gist of all the runners playstyles pls

[glacial bane]

No

[wintry bough]

I'm allowed to call myself a clanker

[kindred vigil]

should i

[wintry bough]

Do not be alarmed

[frank crest]

there’s a whole video for that

[languid crest]

guys wth

[glacial bane]

Why not

[frank crest]

and it probably gives MUCH better info than we could ever give

[languid crest]

yeah but i want the future players thoughts

[glacial bane]

I'd love to see your take on the runners neeyth

[frank crest]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-s4-homelander-cough-disgust-gif-15540398707739933423

[kindred vigil]

what do u mean future players

[leaden wharf]

Assassin is kill on sight

[frank crest]

gonna get nerfed day one

[rich solstice]

Rook kill on sight

[languid crest]

we will be playing da game in da near future🙂

[wintry bough]

The Runner Shells ViDoc video on YouTube states most of what the shells do.

[frank crest]

im probably playing blackbird day one

[kindred vigil]

Well Bungie has a video on it as they say

[frank crest]

the design is so peak

[glacial bane]

But what do YOU say

[leaden wharf]

My top 3 are assassin, recon, and thief

[rough sail]

What if we all canceled our marathon pre orders the day before launch, that'd be a pretty funny prank on bungie 😹

[wintry bough]

Assassin, Vandal, Destroyer.

[wide heath]

No Glitch in the top 3? I will hunt you down

[glacial bane]

Neeyth is in his depression era. I need Neeyth to be in happy pappy yay life is so yappy era

[languid crest]

is glitch vandal?

[wide heath]

Ye

[kindred vigil]

yap less observe more they say

[frank crest]

what’s everyone liking for vandal for, she seems boring

[thorny wigeon]

no destroyer is the real problem

[languid crest]

i think i like her look da most

[kindred vigil]

Hot, and fast paced

[wintry bough]

Pre download is right before launch, so.... Sony won't give refunds if it's downloaded.

[leaden wharf]

Broo I honestly could say that glitch is top 3 least favorite😭 I hate movement specialized people

[languid crest]

yeah shes kinda hot

[wintry bough]

Tis indeed hot

[frank crest]

CRYO STASIS AND OUTPOST ARE THE BEST MAPS

[wintry bough]

I expect to see art within the first month.

[frank crest]

alright brotine shake 💔

[rich solstice]

Outpost is brutal, i love it

[kindred vigil]

Brobrocreate c'mon 🥀

[leaden wharf]

He's not wrong though

[languid crest]

really had to mention that😕

[wide heath]

Ah you mean that art

[frank crest]

i guess twinnamon roll 🥀

[wintry bough]

Artists are fast as hell, gotta give talent credits somehow.

[languid crest]

goodnight folks🙂

[frank crest]

is anyone here influenced by chaos possibly

🤔

[wintry bough]

Influenced?

[rich solstice]

Chaos? HERESY

[frank crest]

that’s all the proof i need

[wide heath]

Waiting on marton has me feeling like I am

[wintry bough]

Influenced? Please. I'm the influence of chaos. It's not even original.

[leaden wharf]

Ok brotography

[frank crest]

Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaneesh or Khorne

[wintry bough]

I have a special little set of powers called autism and adhd

[kindred vigil]

ok bro

[wintry bough]

Oh, 40k stuff... I'm... Not well versed.

[kindred vigil]

"you're all my little playthings" ass sentence 😂‼️🐧

[wintry bough]

Lmao I'm not that bad

[leaden wharf]

BAHAHAHAHAHA

[wintry bough]

Maybe when I was 13 but dear God I wanna punch past me square in the jaw

[twilit sparrow]

Assassin
Destro
Thief

Only factual based chud list

[leaden wharf]

yo who TF is destro

[rough sail]

Destroyer

[twilit sparrow]

Locus ma boi

[frank crest]

bro doesn’t know destro, he’s john marton

[wide heath]

Nurgle seems rather peaceful compared to the other ones

[leaden wharf]

I can't with these abbreviations 😭

[wintry bough]

Again for me it's going
Assassin, Vandal/Glitch, and Destroyer.

[frank crest]

yes im a grey knight but papa nurgle is the best chaos god ❤️‍🩹

[rough sail]

Why ain't you do the og names for the other two 🥀🥀🥀

[wide heath]

Idk what Khorne does

[kindred vigil]

Think it's going destroyer-thief-triage(if not solo) for me

[glacial bane]

Is brochachocheeksables here

[wintry bough]

Because I don't know them

[rugged idol]

Heresy

[leaden wharf]

Khorne more like 🌽

[teal condor]

No Blackbird is crazy

[kindred vigil]

Assassin is void, destroyer is locus

[frank crest]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

[wintry bough]

WHY ARE ALL OF THE OLD NAMES BETTER

[wide heath]

Yeah I’m sticking to nurgle

[frank crest]

bro blackbird is such a peak name

[kindred vigil]

Thief is icon, recon is blackbird, triage is aux

[leaden wharf]

Void sounded cringe asf I'm ngl

[teal condor]

If they were better they would have kept them chat

[wintry bough]

They just sound basic now tho

[rugged idol]

Blackbird is fye

[rough sail]

Pretty sure the creative director confirmed on twitter the other day that the old names are still in the game

[kindred vigil]

Aux sounds so much cooler because triage uses cords and shit to boost and emp

[teal condor]

Yes that's the point they need so sound disposable

[kindred vigil]

Like an aux cord

[wintry bough]

How's that supposed to work then? Just have both names on each of the shells?

[kindred vigil]

I get why it's triage, he can boost, EMP, and overcharge, triage of specialties

[rough sail]

She said this: "DESTROYER is the model, LOCUS is the series.

For example: Destroyer shells were first designed for aggressive conflict resolution. Locus is a series of that shell type, trained on the live-fire experience of UESC soldiers and designed to support the user’s combat instincts."

[frank crest]

dumb and unnecessary imo

[wintry bough]

Oh... More lore stuffs

[kindred vigil]

Ohh that's cool

[leaden wharf]

I LOVE LORE

[kindred vigil]

Like clothing brands

[wintry bough]

I... Sorta get it? Seems cool tho

[kindred vigil]

The brand is the shell name but the clothing style is the series

[wintry bough]

Ok. So their model is their old name, what they do is their new name.

Makes sense

[leaden wharf]

Smoked salmon gotta be the best thing to put on a sandwich

[wide heath]

It’s essentially just like Bf6 now where you have the class names and every character in the class has a different name

[wintry bough]

Nah bro don't make me hungry this late at night

[kindred vigil]

I assume Most likely when they get more runners there will be drop down tabs for the specific destroyer/assassin etc types

[leaden wharf]

We don't need more assassin types

[rough sail]

why

[wintry bough]

Yes we do

[leaden wharf]

1 is already enough

[wintry bough]

I need 5

[twilit sparrow]

https://youtu.be/Ve1aPNml5uU

CONCORD IS BACK?

WHAT THE HELL DUDE

[wintry bough]

Wait what

Istg if this is a Rick roll

[leaden wharf]

"Somehow, concord returned"

[kindred vigil]

It's the horizon game

[rough sail]

assassin is the class name and locus is essentially the character. There can be another assassin but under a different series

Wait

Void* whoops

sleepy

[leaden wharf]

Yeah I know what you're saying, I just don't think we need more stealth frames for a bit

It's already going to be hard to balance void anyways

[timid torrent]

then Blackbird is the right shell for you 🙂

[wintry bough]

Feels like a dumbed down Horizon version of Monster Hunter. I don't like it.

[wintry bough]

I personally don't think so. Recon already nullifies the entire Assassin kit if they can be detected while invis.

[kindred vigil]

And thief can most likely see them with her gpggles

Destroyer could with his ult tagging

[rough sail]

Also I doubt the other assassin would have a very similar kit to void

[kindred vigil]

And triage could see with emping (if it works like that)

[scenic meteor]

Good morning friends

[wintry bough]

Didn't they say that Assassin's invis was stronger if you weren't moving slow or not at all?

[kindred vigil]

Like a halo

[rough sail]

yes

[kindred vigil]

Good morning Scooby 😁

[wintry bough]

Maybe if assassin is standing still, it's completely undetectable?

I doubt it though

[rough sail]

I don't think so

[leaden wharf]

I mean I already know I'm going to be ratting with a sniper assassin loadout

[wintry bough]

Good buff idea if they turn out to be lackluster

[wintry bough]

Nah I'd be the type to run sniper and shotgun. Sniper for clearings, shotgun for buildings. Assassin is definitely an inside character.

[rough sail]

rewatched that first marathon gameplay trailer and the game didn't even look that bad, don't understand the hate

[wintry bough]

Bungie rep, destiny rep, destiny neglect, etc.

[leaden wharf]

It was mainly hate due to bungoes reputation and d2 players feeling that their game was being neglected

[wintry bough]

And the art scandal didn't help

[leaden wharf]

I myself was a hater until sometime during november

[rough sail]

I was always a hoper

[scenic meteor]

The gameplay trailer wasn’t bad it was the actual test in April it was pretty bad

[wintry bough]

Oh nah I just couldn't. The art style is amazing and was to begin with, it's just the lighting and shading that needed work.

[rough sail]

All of the comments on the trailer were hating on it

[karmic sable]

If I remember, the exterior art and lighting wasn’t finished back on April Alpha

But the interiors were done

[twilit sparrow]

it was not due to hate, april build was literal slop

it was deserved criticism

also the graphics were playmobile shit

[wintry bough]

People seem to forget that an Alpha is quite literally bare bones framework....

[leaden wharf]

Those commenters are also people who never cared to look more into marathon

[scenic meteor]

Sure but when you had 4 months till launch and it was that bad it was a really ugly look

[wintry bough]

Oh yeah 100% the delay was badly needed.

But it's still an Alpha.

[obsidian quartz]

they should delay it again

make a good game

[rough sail]

They should cancel it

[delicate berry]

unlike gigachad highguard who didnt give a fuck and dropped their game looking like DOG SHITTT‼️‼️

I CANT FUCKING SLEEP

GRAHHHH

[wintry bough]

I don't think so. They are already striking gold while the iron is hot. Wait too long and the iron is cold and brittle, and will break.

[leaden wharf]

Highguard mention🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[earnest edge]

What’s everyone playing while they wait?

[obsidian quartz]

i already know im going to be addicted the only solution is to cancel the game

[scenic meteor]

The games in a really good spot rn tho and I think arc raiders doing well is actually a blessing for marathon

[leaden wharf]

Broo im on a schoolbus rn

[scenic meteor]

It gets more eyes on the genre

[delicate berry]

my firend asked me to play overwatch too 💔

[wintry bough]

I don't think overwatch was bad. But it's definitely in a sorry state.

Game shouldn't have been paid to begin with tbh.

[digital light]

I want to die (metaphorically)

[delicate berry]

same lilah

same

whats been going on

[digital light]

😭

LMAO I wanna go back to beddd

Forget work

Works overrated

[scenic meteor]

Atleast you went to sleep early tho 🌹

[delicate berry]

rela

real

[wintry bough]

Aight, I'm gonna go get my free preview of death for the night.

[digital light]

Yeah touché, I probably wouldn’t have if you didn’t mom me

[wintry bough]

Rest mode as it were.

[digital light]

You’s a real one 🙏

[digital light]

And why is it that you want to metaphorically die

[delicate berry]

scoob is mommy now ❤️

[delicate berry]

oh just in general, nothing in particular

thats the showbiz baby

[unborn badger]

open weekend announcement this weekend prayge

[digital light]

Ah real

[digital light]

Unfortunately

You got this though 🙏

[digital light]

At this point he might as well be

[digital light]

I love the current pfp Neeyth

[crimson cradle]

Looking forward to the free play weekend

[karmic sable]

Im subscribing to the 314 theory

[scenic meteor]

It’s a good theory

[spiral violet]

Pls explain

[karmic sable]

TLDR: number 314 flashes a lot on the cinematic like promos. A year has 365 days. 365 - 314 is 51, the 51st day in a year is February 20th

[small moon]

hmm

is it not just because pi?

[hushed wigeon]

yes normal for bungie games

[karmic sable]

This theory is better than the ammo counter theory from 2 day ago

[hushed wigeon]

tbh we didnt need a theory
state of play will most likely drop a date and even not we got still 3 weekends going without counting this one
so we have 13feb, 20feb and 27feb if we count the friday to the weekend

[kindred vigil]

Jesus Christ the reaches ppl go for a inch of this game 😭 ✌️

[hushed wigeon]

yeah just wild

[rich solstice]

VALID

[scenic meteor]

People don’t play about that Bungie business

[small moon]

the way I see it is
This weekend: 10%
Next weekend: 30%
Weekend after: 75%
Final weekend: 50%

[rich solstice]

Bro got the numbers, I like it

[grave smelt]

thats not how probabilities work. When you choose a weekend you compare it against all of the other weekends. Their sum has to be 100%, not 165%

[rich solstice]

Shhhh

[grave smelt]

Also Scooby is pregnant with MY child

[delicate berry]

but thats just how likely it is to drop

its so likely that its over 100%

[outer lichen]

I mean, this is a perfectly reasonable guess, all of their ads so far have been super cryptic, and given the ARG it would not be the furthest leap.

[grave smelt]

No? Probabilities are already "likely" they are not factual. This likeliness is built into these numbers. It still has to be 100%

or 1 if you are not an amateur

[hushed wigeon]

and what it is if the probabilite is only for the weekend by it self without counting the other weekends?

[kindred vigil]

🤓

[shy knot]

[grave smelt]

bruh do you understand that what you are actually saying is "this is probability of it happening on this weekend instead of all other weekends but by itself, not counting other weekends"

[delicate berry]

highguard update in 5.5 hours

cant wait

[shy knot]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-bungie-dac-runner-gif-6011190738981059482

[hushed wigeon]

yes i understand
this week 10% in drops 90% it doesnt and so on
wouldnt make it in to a real probability math question tbh this is just stupid xD

[obsidian quartz]

scoob you cannot be the first person to react with that

[delicate berry]

dont middle finger react me

you can become a wolf with the new warden

[kindred vigil]

yay

[scenic meteor]

Actually

[hushed wigeon]

we have this week which will not happen
and 3 more weeks no need to theories about it tbh
just wait

[obsidian quartz]

deadass

[delicate berry]

yes instead of summoning a horse he turns into a wolf

[crimson cradle]

🔥

[teal condor]

-# Savauge Dior sprits

[scenic meteor]

That sounds pretty rad fr

[grave smelt]

I can say one thing. Probability of this getting as high as highguard?
negative 20%

[kindred vigil]

The night CALLS for its pack 🐺

Turn the scale, and never look back 🐺

[hushed wigeon]

what?

[delicate berry]

imagine if your teammates could pet you and then your big bushy tail starts wagging :3

[kindred vigil]

That's what it means to be inside of a pack 🐺

[grave smelt]

HighGuard HighGuard HighGuard HighGuard HighGuard

[hushed wigeon]

i mean if u like it good for u

[leaden wharf]

That's enough discord for today

[kindred vigil]

That's not the worst message sent here trust

Nothing is toping the messages where ppl send very detailed poops situations

[grave smelt]

Im jk, it is a stoopid poopoo game

[hushed wigeon]

have u atleast tried it?

[delicate berry]

and you try to look tough in front of the enemy while the domebreaker is crushing your dome but you cant stop wagging your tail because your teammates keep giving you head scratches :333

[grave smelt]

I don't need to taste poop to know it tastes bad

do you?

[kindred vigil]

ok remember who ur trying to roleplay don't lose sight this isn't furry roleplay central server keighley

[delicate berry]

thank you for the reminder, i will start learning how to draw so i can create furry keighley

[kindred vigil]

yaaaasss

[scenic meteor]

Let my boy get his freak on

[delicate berry]

and if im good enough, maybe even pregnant furry keighley

[kindred vigil]

not yaaaas

[hushed wigeon]

yes have tested it
and played 3 rounds just to instantly uninstall it xD

still its a f2p so i dont see why i shouldnt test it before i just hate like everyone else because for what ever happened in their childhood

[kindred vigil]

ur big into wolfs so I expect u to be on board

[grave smelt]

I don't see why you generalize everyone that has the same opinion into one pile of your made up reasoning for that opinion and then try to come off as a smart person, but here we are

[small moon]

shhhhhhhhhh i realised after i sent it... imagine i'm reassessing the probability after each weekend...

[grave smelt]

maybe test your messages three times on weird biases before you send them

[grave smelt]

ok, Time lord 🙏

[hushed wigeon]

thats easy in this case
its f2p everyone can test it there is no money u lose
if u dont like shooter ur something like this then the game isnt for u

[hushed wigeon]

didnt need test my messages three times

[delicate berry]

have you guys ever wanted to see the story of something from beginning to end

[grave smelt]

u sure? because you continue to generalize and stereotype me into some weird scenario where I don't like shooters

[kindred vigil]

yeah like all the time

[delicate berry]

something in your life brought into existence and ended before your eyes

[grave smelt]

ofc

[delicate berry]

thats what highguard is to me

and its free, so i can get front row seats

[kindred vigil]

Yes keighley

[delicate berry]

to a glorious trainwreck

[kindred vigil]

yaaaaas keighley

wait

woah

no keighley

🙄

[delicate berry]

now, let me just say highguard wasnt the trainwreck i thought it would be

but there was a chance, and i would never pass up front row seats to a trainwreck

[kindred vigil]

icl it's lasting longer than most

[grave smelt]

you are the most beautiful highguardian that is out there

[kindred vigil]

keighley lets play cycle: the frontier

[hushed wigeon]

the dont "like shooter part" is more for a reason why some people didnt test in the first place and thats a good enough reason tbh
and if u feel generalize with some comments over the internet maybe there is a little truth behind it xD

[kindred vigil]

It's gonna beat tarkov

It's gonna be a banger

[delicate berry]

never heard of that game but i just checked steam lmaoooo

[kindred vigil]

we All playing maruders

[grave smelt]

or you know. it is just some random guy who knows nothing about the person he talks to but continues to make up stuff about them in order to devalue their opinion

I don't think you even need me in this "conversation". How about you just stop replying to me and keep doing that with yourself

[delicate berry]

early access since 2022 ooff

[green shell]

New to the server. Just wanted to say that I'm omega hyped for Marathon! Looking forward to the beta 🔥

[grave smelt]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398450/Classic_Marathon/

finish this game to get into beta one second earlier

[delicate berry]

hell yeah dude! make sure you rep a faction in id:customize too!

[kindred vigil]

hell yeah dude! make sure you rep a faction in id:customize too!

[short valley]

Burp

[grave smelt]

hell yeah dude! make sure you rep a faction in ⁠Channels & Roles too!

[kindred vigil]

Radical 😎

[grave smelt]

uh oh

[hushed wigeon]

sry that u feel this way
i didnt devalued ur opinion at all
just dont see why some didnt test before hate and gave it a little sarcasm

so chill out bro, it not worth it to get worked up about highguard

[rich solstice]

Welcome aboard Runner

[kindred vigil]

I'm imagining all of you as anime girls 🧠📖

[short valley]

Highgaurd is God

[rich solstice]

What color is my hair

[short valley]

Godgaurd

[kindred vigil]

white u the mysterious chud

[short valley]

What would I be

[rich solstice]

Preem, I love white hair

[kindred vigil]

the archetype with the hoodie always zipped up

Not the brooding type the gremlin one

[green shell]

Never played Destiny. But I fell in love with Marathon from it's initial reveal because the art direction and gameplay really resonated with me. Hope to play with some of you on launch

[short valley]

Who'd that be

[rich solstice]

Watched the recent vidocs?

[short valley]

Am I the gamer chud

[kindred vigil]

no

Well yes

But it's not neet level

[short valley]

Hop on the game

Man!

I wanna be a neet!

[grave smelt]

well if you don't see why someone didn't test it, maybe the reasonable reaction would be to explore that instead of assuming a bunch of things about someone you are 5 messages deep knowing and proceeding to profiling them based on stuff that you literally just made up in your mind without a shred of evidence to support it

[green shell]

Yes I did! Following every video Bungie puts out

[delicate berry]

he chose oange

🍊

[rich solstice]

Good good, if you want lore and theories I recommend Jake The Alright on youtube!

[hushed wigeon]

its okay buddy everything is fine
we all love u ❤️

[short valley]

Why he ouran 😂

Wings who you maining

[green shell]

I was just watching some of his vids yesterday actually lol

[kindred vigil]

w traxus

[rich solstice]

Preem you're on the right track (:

[kindred vigil]

They say only handsome people choose traxus

[short valley]

Loyal to traxus for the destroyer skin idgaf

[green shell]

I don't know yet. But possibly Vandal or Recon

[thorn plinth]

🤝

[kindred vigil]

why is everyone a vandal main

oh em g

[delicate berry]

movement

[rich solstice]

Why not

[delicate berry]

who the hell would ever want to go slow

[kindred vigil]

Thief vandal thief vandal everyday

[green shell]

I really like her design LOL

[delicate berry]

when you could just go fast

why dont game designers realize this yet

[olive turret]

I chose arachne because I'm over the 'dont' shoot' meme'ing of the other game

[delicate berry]

people hate going slow

[kindred vigil]

Iove fast

That's why I like locus with his sprint and boost

😁

[short valley]

Some people like it slow

[delicate berry]

locus thruster is also very nice movement

[green shell]

I have also successfully convinced two of my irl friends to get the game after showing them the latest vidoc

[kindred vigil]

I need a shell that's all horizontal speed like a uh sonic

[olive turret]

https://klipy.com/gifs/started-blasting-gun

don't shoot?

[short valley]

I get it tho sometimes you just dont wanna be zooming everywhere

[rich solstice]

Nice! Wish I had the same luxury 😅

[kindred vigil]

and I need one like a uh mario

stomping shell

[delicate berry]

stomping turts all day

[short valley]

Doesnt vandal have that

[kindred vigil]

she jumps twice sure

[olive turret]

she has a double jump and an enhanced slide I think

[short valley]

No like she has the core that lets her do aoe from highbground

[kindred vigil]

i didn't read the cores so I ain't know that

*Ohio learns*

[fleet steppe]

you may as well goomba stomp if you land on heads with her aoe core

might be fun

[short valley]

Happy to spread knowledge 😃

[delicate berry]

from higghuard

[rich solstice]

Does her ult make her run faster or is it just slide

[delicate berry]

but yeah she does

[delicate berry]

everything with no overheat

[short valley]

Actually yeah i dont get her ult

[green shell]

Have most of you played the alpha? I've not and going in blind

[short valley]

Ohhhh

Nope I havent

[rich solstice]

Right I remember now

[kindred vigil]

I have

[olive turret]

she's gonna juke most people. I'm looking at thief too for that super fast roto

[delicate berry]

i have, and im not gonna lie it was kind of boring

[kindred vigil]

3 times actually...no big deal...

[rich solstice]

Played the October test

[delicate berry]

not the gameplay itself i was just quest hunting

and some of these

man...

[green shell]

That was before bungie did the overhaul yeah?

[kindred vigil]

oh u mean the April alpha

[delicate berry]

im actually uncertain, but i am under an NDA so i can't say anything

[short valley]

Are you fr

[kindred vigil]

yeah icl April alpha was so fucking mediocre I can't believe the game wasn't delayed at the time and that's possibly what we could've got kinda

[rich solstice]

That was also the alpha, which didn't have much in the game yet

[fleet steppe]

Vandal my beloved i still remember my glitch wife

[delicate berry]

i think so, they didnt make me sign anything so idk tbh

[kindred vigil]

April isn't nda I think that's what they're speaking of

[green shell]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-marathon-game-game-bungie-marathon-edit-gif-14026519019168379004

Also this is currently the best gif on Discord rn

[short valley]

Do hope the release game is a bit faster

[olive turret]

as in pacing? I know you're on a gag order

so if you rather not say anything that's cool

[fleet steppe]

I'd have to disagree i have a funny reply gif

[teal condor]

Who's ready for the meta memes

"We heard your feedback on triage being too broken so we nerfed Destroyer" - Bungo

[delicate berry]

i actually dont know if im on an nda all i know is that it was a closed technical test

but like the quests are vague and you could just be stuck on one step forever

[olive turret]

better to assume you are. Bungie can shit on people who break NDA pretty hard

[keen zinc]

nah I saw that

[rich solstice]

I saw that reaction

YES

[delicate berry]

youll never prove it

[strong notch]

Hilo

[delicate berry]

hilo!!

[kindred vigil]

hey gng

[rich solstice]

Morningggg

[short valley]

Hello chud

[delicate berry]

its 5 am goodnight yall

[kindred vigil]

Goodnight keighly

[green shell]

What's your fav shell?
"Rook"

[rich solstice]

Nightyy

[short valley]

Bye high gaurd promoter

[delicate berry]

you typed morning and my head snapped to the clock 😭

[rich solstice]

Kill on sight

[delicate berry]

cya guys 👋

[rich solstice]

LOL

[short valley]

Hawkie twoie

[thorn plinth]

🤝

[rich solstice]

pardon?

[keen zinc]

Morning boss

[kindred vigil]

Everytime I look at the sun I think about my teachings from my sensei, it's just how miyamoto musashi coded I'm becoming

[keen zinc]

whenever I have sushi I just get overwhelmed with the japanese spirit sometimes

[rich solstice]

Just explode

[outer lichen]

Honestly I see a vandal nerf incoming more than likely, either that or a small heat buff across the board. They have access to pick rates, if it's any higher than 40% out of all 7 shells I'd bet on a nerf

[green shell]

With the Thief shell, do we know if it can steal any loot, or are there specific loot that can't be stolen (e.g. Weapons)

[outer lichen]

Seems to be highest value item

[green shell]

Damn

That's kinda op. I thought it would be more random

[outer lichen]

I'd imagine the drone can be shot though so if something is stolen you have some time to get it back

[green shell]

Yeah makes sense. Otherwise it'd be pretty broken

The drone can also be used as a scout id imagine

[outer lichen]

Other downside to using it is you'd be taking a teammate out of a fight as long as you're trying to snatch something

[outer lichen]

It can, they tell you as much in the shell preview

[outer lichen]

https://youtu.be/jFzR8bN13FA?si=rMOuJRLqT39tXtyv

[rich solstice]

I heard the drone knocks out random loot

[green shell]

On the other hand it could also serve as a distraction. I guess it's use will be situational

[lament jay]

^

[green shell]

It'd be pretty disruptive if it knockout out healing items from the enemy. I really like this mechanic, adds complexity and unpredictability to the game play

[stuck birch]

[rich solstice]

Its a great mechanic indeed, keeps things interesting

[lament jay]

but also

[green shell]

Bungie pls give us a date for open beta already I can't wait

[lament jay]

grapling hoo 🤤

[stuck birch]

So, friends, what are you playing while waiting for the marathon?

[rich solstice]

She can also see loot containers through walls

[vocal hawk]

Arc

[lament jay]

deadlock

[leaden wharf]

Destiny 2

[green shell]

None other than Arc Raiders

[stuck birch]

It’s not a bêta 😂

[rich solstice]

You poor soul

[stuck birch]

Ah arc raiders 🤮

[vocal hawk]

I needa see more new gameplay

[lament jay]

Im def maining her for like solo situations in which I just wna get loot and get out

[vocal hawk]

Now we hatin on arc smh

[green shell]

Arc was what got my friends interested in Marathon lol

[lament jay]

but mostly Triage

[outer lichen]

It’s gonna be interesting to see her pick rate over Assassin in solos

[rich solstice]

She do be a loot goblin, love that

[stuck birch]

I don't like the community, I find it too toxic.

[karmic sable]

As much as people like or hate Arc, we all need to agree that it opened the doors for extraction shooters to a casual playerbase

[vocal hawk]

Can you customize your runner with like cosmetics?

[outer lichen]

Arc just looks super clunky to me

[outer lichen]

Skins yes

They’re in the preorder bundle

[stuck birch]

Yes

[green shell]

Annoying community ngl. Especially if they find out you're a pvp player. For whatever reason pvp players are openly roasted and burned at the stake

[rich solstice]

This is true

[vocal hawk]

what about like individual parts

[leaden wharf]

Deluxe bundle, not preorder

[crude stone]

how dare you pvp in a pvpve game

[rich solstice]

No

[vocal hawk]

arc dosent rlly have a endgame

[outer lichen]

Deluxe is one of the preorder bundles

[stuck birch]

The deluxe edition gives you character skins

[rich solstice]

The skins in arc are so wack

imo of course

[outer lichen]

Dude half of em look like a wardrobe picked by a 5th grader 🤣

[vocal hawk]

ya your right

[karmic sable]

So far no. Maybe on post release they could modify it to be like that if there is enough demand for it

[vocal hawk]

the bomber vest pretty cool tho

[green shell]

Marathon aesthetics >>>> Arc Raiders aesthetics

[vocal hawk]

There’s a lot of things I still need to see about marathon tho

We lack new gameplay footage over a minute

[rich solstice]

That arent in the vidocs?

[outer lichen]

I’ll be the first to admit Marathon’s art style took some warming up to. Especially since the bad alpha lighting outdoors made it look like chalky plastic everywhere.

[leaden wharf]

Also I heard the arc raiders community hates it when you're being sneaky or literally attack anytime

[rich solstice]

Dw were getting a lot in the coming weeks

[vocal hawk]

Hopefully

[rich solstice]

Yeah graphics werent done yet

[karmic sable]

And we are getting an open access weekend

[rich solstice]

its ridiculous

[vocal hawk]

I was thinking the open access wknd was gonna be the wknd before release

But it’s prob valentines weekend

[rich solstice]

Tis the rumor

[outer lichen]

I’ve seen several Facebook groups for posting bounties on PvPers with actual rewards, shits crazy

[karmic sable]

They just say its a weekend before release

[vocal hawk]

They probably wouldn’t do it so close to release

[rich solstice]

Its a sin to pvp in a extraction shooter apparently lol

[karmic sable]

My guess is on 20th

[thorn plinth]

Did u watch the vidoc?

[vocal hawk]

I can’t pre order till I get my hands on it

[karmic sable]

Enough gap to do small adjustments but not big enough to make people forget

[rich solstice]

Yeah the recent one, I mean the alphas graphics werent done

[outer lichen]

If it isn’t intended, Devman shouldn’t have added it. L + mald + seethe + cope

[tulip sedge]

you know it's like how Apex Legends players complaint how they kept getting third party-ed and considered it "unfair"... it's a freaking Battle Royale game!!!

[green shell]

Marathon must succeed. There's too much at stake for Bungie's future

[vocal hawk]

Nah bungie is over if this fails

[dreamy forge]

It will

[stuck birch]

It's not the PvP that bothers me on Arc, but the toxic players and cheaters.

[outer lichen]

Ehhhh third party is for shitters though. It sucks, it’s intended, but it’s also lame asf.

[rich solstice]

Sony did say recently they are confident with Marathon, so im hopeful

[crude stone]

the cheaters dont get punished

[green shell]

Look what happened to Concord

[rich solstice]

We dont talk about Concord

[green shell]

But yea I'm quite confident Marathon will succeed

[karmic sable]

Yeah but unlike Concord, Marathon already has a big enough fanbase that loves it

[crude stone]

true

[karmic sable]

Concord was hated by EVERYONE

[vocal hawk]

Concord was a one of a kind fk up

[grave smelt]

They really let their conguard down with their highcord this time

[rich solstice]

Marathons cinematic is also S Tier

[thorn plinth]

Marathon’s aesthetic is peak

Concord was not

[stuck birch]

I find it difficult for them to punish cheaters.

[green shell]

Get that Sweet Baby Inc DEI shit out of video games and you good

[crude stone]

we got bungie on the gunplay, sony behind them

[kindred vigil]

kill them IRL I think

[karmic sable]

And they didn’t delay the game for no reason

[vocal hawk]

Sony biting they nails rn

[karmic sable]

I played the game on October under NDA

[outer lichen]

Honestly highguard isn’t as bad as people say it is, it’s just aggressively mid that it’s not a standout and there

[karmic sable]

It is good

[rich solstice]

Man im biting my nails

[crude stone]

they give cheaters three warnings before bans, and as far as I know they cant do permabans bc of laws of property own in their country

[grave smelt]

I agree

[stuck birch]

You're right

[tulip sedge]

I didn't hate the game. It was just not my cup of tea. and I played the beta.

[vocal hawk]

That horrible performance is what kills it for me

[tulip sedge]

in a way, I understood why it failed more than just "let's hate it because it's trending"

[stuck birch]

And then you still have players who report you for no reason, so...

[crude stone]

concord had the issue of a price tag in a genre whose main competitor was free to play

[karmic sable]

What I am trying to say was that there wasn’t a fanbase for Concord

[thorn plinth]

Marathon’s short film has a fan base

[outer lichen]

Concord just tried way too hard to do a bunch of stuff nobody asked for, and it resulted in an entirely unremarkable game.

[crude stone]

I am the whole fanbase

[stuck birch]

So in short, I don't like Arc for that reason.

I really hope we don't have any toxic people on Marathon

[crude stone]

I have many issues with arc, I'm just glad some people are going to give marathon a try bc of arc, but I stopped playing arc and there's no reason for me to go back

[crimson kite]

One thing I learned from concord, high guard and marathon is that game needs to look cool whenever it is shown first. Graphics of all 3 games were very bad when they showed it first.

[outer lichen]

The fan base is me. Watched that thing like 50 times lmao

[crimson kite]

marathon was still in alpha so people looked at it and just started to dunk on it

[rich solstice]

Im thankful for Arc for 1 reason, it opened the door for Marathon

[stuck birch]

You're brave to stay on Arc.

[cold stump]

if marathon succeeds do u think theyll add pvp in a post-launch update

[crude stone]

wait until the pve arc people come here and start crashing out bc they got shot

[crude stone]

I'm not playing arc ever again haha

[tulip sedge]

tbf, I think it would have probably be a success if its heroes are known characters like Marvel heroes for example. I know there's Marvel Rivals already, but I doubt it'd be DoA like concord did. Concord's biggest failure... is the uninteresting character designs.

[rich solstice]

I almost fell for the bait

[outer lichen]

Doing alphas is fine but they definitely shouldn’t have allowed gameplay footage with the graphics in that state. Much better off waiting until they looked how they do now.

[keen zinc]

ermm why does this alpha build lowkey look bad and unfinished? It's lowkey giving unpolished vibes, wonder why. Game must be doa 🤓

[thorn plinth]

🤝

[vocal hawk]

Yea man

[stuck birch]

marathon will be much better

[cold stump]

wdym yknow how bungie gunplay is really good i think itll make for good pvp

[crimson kite]

it was supposed to be closed alpha but people requested and Bungie allowed people to share gameplay

[rich solstice]

What annoys me is that it was originally private the alpha but they decided to make it public for everyone to see

[rich solstice]

Marathon is pvp with pve

[thorn plinth]

Tbh marathon as is will be pvp heavy

[cold stump]

no dude i played the alpha

[rich solstice]

9 months ago

[crude stone]

that is a master level of bait

[thorn plinth]

Especially as shells become more lethal

[rich solstice]

Fr

[cold stump]

the alpha was in december?

[outer lichen]

I understand the reasoning behind it, just on the foot of a big scandal, need to show a proof of concept, but Bungie should have known better about the graphics being unfinished when graphics are all anyone cares about anymore

[vocal hawk]

Nah I can’t lie ts looked like playdough

[rich solstice]

Indeed, now its BEAUTIFUL

[vocal hawk]

Big facts

[keen zinc]

I feel like they could've been cautious but it's not up to Bungie to bring up the internet's IQ to a regular mammal level

[vocal hawk]

The must be confident to release in march so I’m hopeful

[crude stone]

I'm confident

[vocal hawk]

We just need to get our hands on it in time

[rich solstice]

I am also confident

[vocal hawk]

So they can make changes accordingly

[outer lichen]

It’s not, but it is on them to read the audience they’re trying to advertise to. If you don’t impress the people with the money you’re not getting their money

[crude stone]

open weekend will bring so many people bc they want to try the game before buying or the haters trying it and realizing is a good game

[kindred vigil]

Cooking steak for the first time #awesome

[crude stone]

and we gonna get more people

[outer lichen]

I mean shit I’m willing to bet at least 60% of the reason Arc Raiders has so many players is just because it’s pretty to look at, mid gameplay aside.

[rich solstice]

Hows it coming along

[kindred vigil]

I just put it on

[crude stone]

I just want to see all my yt feed filled with "I was wrong about marathon" or "the open playtest made me rethink about marathon"

[rich solstice]

I wish you great success

[open latch]

alpha actually looks like steaming dogshit compared to now bro

[keen zinc]

Well, it's inoffensive and the game casual friendly. I think that's 90% why it's successful, the artstyle is really nothing special or eyecatching

[outer lichen]

It’s not, but it’s the whole ongoing photorealism fad, that’s the thing.

[rich solstice]

Its already happening suprisingly

[vocal hawk]

Ya it is fs

[thorn plinth]

Raiders are not my type of sci fi

At all

[tulip sedge]

my yt marathon feed is filled with cautiously optimistic videos

[crude stone]

yeah but its gonna explode on the free weekend

[rich solstice]

Too sandy

[tulip sedge]

which is reasonable

[rich solstice]

I sure hope so

[vocal hawk]

Arc lowkey feel like some shit that can happen in 40 years

[rich solstice]

Atleast our fashion will look better

[last wing]

Daily message to let you know we all live by the goop and die by the goop

[vocal hawk]

nah wrd

[open latch]

i fw arc raiders look but marathon doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before

[keen zinc]

There's lots of photorealism fatigue going around rn, and Marathon happens to catch a lot of those people's eyes

[tulip sedge]

let me guess... you don't like sand? because it's course, and rough, and irritating?

[vocal hawk]

I can’t hate arc tho lotta good moments

[rich solstice]

Im so happy you understood what I was referencing

[outer lichen]

Part of the reason I’m so hyped for Marathon is that it’s not more UE5 slop tbh

[vocal hawk]

I don’t think I’ll ever play trios

[thorn plinth]

The ai enemies are varied/cool

[open latch]

arc is lowk the best running ue5 game ive ever played

[keen zinc]

I'll say Arc is uninspired visually but they optimized UE5 well at least, unlike AAA studios who go with UE5

[rich solstice]

All imma play is Trios, I come from Apex so im used to the randoms. Besides, more loot

[open latch]

gun balancing in arc is genuinely the worst ive seen in any game lmao

[outer lichen]

Unlike Stalker lmao

[vocal hawk]

That’s another thing I hope the AI is good in marathon

[outer lichen]

The AI are monsters

Even in the alpha

They had to turn them down

[thorn plinth]

true

[tulip sedge]

hah. another apex enjoyer.

[kindred vigil]

apex...

[open latch]

the only reason i got arc was for the procedural animation and ai ngl

[rich solstice]

Yeah I hate apex too dw

2.9k hours on it

[vocal hawk]

Nah not the just the combat aspect, but they can’t be dumb

[tulip sedge]

I think I noticed that Apex players are willing to try Marathon because of how similar it is

[outer lichen]

Such a shame, Apex. Launch was a beautiful thing. Everything past S1 was a steaming pile of crap.

[rich solstice]

It really is similar

[keen zinc]

What I'm hoping for is they build on how smart they are like flanking, being active climbing ladders and acting as smart as a runner without having every pve engagement just be a sink for heals

[tulip sedge]

yeah. it's still just a BR game with PVE.

[outer lichen]

Oh they’re not. If you disengage they start hunting you and shit they’re genuinely scary.

[rich solstice]

Id say like past season 6 but yeah it went downhill quick

[rich solstice]

The healing and team comps too

[vocal hawk]

oh wrd?

Then we good

[tulip sedge]

totally

[open latch]

arc legit has no endgame

you are stuck in midgame hell

[tulip sedge]

did you reply to the right person?

[rich solstice]

The AI in Marathon does not fuck around

[open latch]

no mb

[vocal hawk]

Prox chat need to be good too

[open latch]

are uesc as lethal as runners?

[crude stone]

arc is too casual

[rich solstice]

Its in the game

[vocal hawk]

Not like in arc where you can hear ppl through ten stories

[crude stone]

yes

[outer lichen]

I have no concerns about that the audio engine is insane from what I’ve seen

[rich solstice]

Yes

[balmy kettle]

Are you a shoot Rooks on site person or are you a let Rooks scavenge person

[outer lichen]

Honestly I’d say more so in some cases

[rich solstice]

Oh no, can confirm its not like that

[crude stone]

one uesc soldier, no biggie. two uesc soldiers and I have a problem

[olive turret]

free UAV I ain't mad about it

[crude stone]

THREE UESC soldiers and I am running for my life

[rich solstice]

Especially the bigger ones

[vocal hawk]

Like if you next to someone talking in voip right, someone two rooms over can’t hear you

[outer lichen]

And that’s just the blueberries, their uparmored friends are worse

[keen zinc]

I have a hard time criticizing Arc endgame cause yeah there's NO endgame but I'm 99% sure that's just intentional. They didn't put time into endgame cause they know they're a casual game, and obviously people who want endgame should come to Marathon

[open latch]

i kinda hate that arc added aggression based matchmaking later on because some of the fun was figuring out if someone wouldn't fight you and that's what made it special

[crude stone]

I have horrible memories trying to loot overflow in the alphas

[white ember]

is there any info about collectors edition restocking for EU bungie store?

[outer lichen]

I mean… I can hear someone two rooms away IRL idk about you

[tulip sedge]

but why though? is it suddenly "not casual friendly" once you put an endgame? if casuals find it too intense, they can just choose not to participate.

[rich solstice]

Id check their socials or apply for email notification when restocked

[keen zinc]

No you're right I'm just saying that's why they didn't dedicate dev time into implementing a good endgame

[vocal hawk]

I mean like volume levels from your mic

[keen zinc]

They could, but they haven't and I doubt they will

[tulip sedge]

ahhh okay. got it.

[crude stone]

arc could have done an endgame like matriarch and harvester

[outer lichen]

Like I said I have no doubts in the audio engine. It’s some top notch stuff.

[green shell]

I've been playing Arc every single day since launch and still enjoy it. Though I play it more for the PvP aspect, which apparently is shunned upon by the community lmao

[keen zinc]

More crumbs for Marathon 🤑

[crude stone]

but that is infested with free loadouts waiting to hear someone shot the queen or matriarch

[vocal hawk]

If you whispering then your actually quiet in game

[rich solstice]

I want a Rook voice changer when playing as Rook, like its implemented

[crude stone]

arc should be called battle royale with cheese

[outer lichen]

I fully plan on using voicemod lol

[crude stone]

I'm becoming unhinged in the proximity if they do that

[vocal hawk]

I forgot arc gotta voice changer

[rich solstice]

Cant wait to scare people, especially as Assassin

[open latch]

why did they remove that shit it would have been so funny for them to have little homunculus voices

[crude stone]

its horrible

[keen zinc]

Perfectly valid, I still watch arc streams cause it's fun and they mostly pvp. But with how it is naturally there's a lot of people unsatisfied with 3pp and corner peaking and gun balancing

[outer lichen]

Assassin with a Batman voice lmao

[leaden wharf]

I'm 100% getting the shittiest "Air control" mic imaginable just for prox chat

[crude stone]

I hate that I know my fat friend with the voice of a drunk dad. and he speaks like a girl ingame

[vocal hawk]

The toro is op idc

[rich solstice]

"WHERE IS SHEEEEE"

[vocal hawk]

Everyone using it ts not fun

[chilly owl]

meow

[crude stone]

I am vengeance

[vocal hawk]

plus I fw marathon being fps

[outer lichen]

“JUSTICE… FOR MARATHON”

[chilly owl]

good morning

[green shell]

Stella Montis, everyone runs Toro lol

[rich solstice]

Made me fuckin chuckle

[vocal hawk]

it’s stupid

[crude stone]

shotguns should be op. but in a 3rd person game with corner peeking

naaah

[keen zinc]

wait til everyone runs WSTR shotty no matter the goddamn map 🥀

[green shell]

I hope Marathon won't run into similar balancing issues and everyone just going with a "meta build" or "meta gun"

[open latch]

grey smg outperforms the pink one btw

[outer lichen]

Everything seems to be pretty well-balanced gun-wise

[crude stone]

there's a gazillion attachment

[green shell]

Not always. But Stitcher is much easier to maintain long term due to being cheaper

[rich solstice]

Atleast they have to get that meta gun somehow

[thorn plinth]

Btw the reveal trailer, which shell was that?

Anyone know

[outer lichen]

Which one

[thorn plinth]

The very first one

[keen zinc]

Hope so. Like 75% of the promo material has people using the WSTR and I'm thinking the whole time have they not nerfed the damn thing

[crude stone]

in the reveal trailer it wasnt announced that was going to be class based

[green shell]
