what do the bags look like on theme or out of place?

[fallen berry]

Do we really need a duffel bag if we see the dead bodies. I believe the whole point in having a bag there was because you’d kill somebody turn into a million pixels and evaporate.

[pulsar cradle]

nah they chill

[tight spire]

if you rip implants/cores out of them, that would actually be really cool

[fallen berry]

Feel like it’s a bit out of place

[pulsar cradle]

anyone malting about the bags is such a non issue its so funny

[tight spire]

I suppose it helps with the visibility/ease of interaction, and potentially prevents some awkward clipping where it would be impossible to loot

[fallen berry]

That means there’s gonna be a body bag next to a dead body, that decomposes

[magic rose]

yeah like an actual scavenged body, organ harvested and all lol

[tight spire]

but I agree, that the duffel bag doesn’t fit

[fallen berry]

We’re having a conversations about our expectations on the game

[pulsar cradle]

and i can say its dumb, thats how convos work

[outer lichen]

Yaknow just based on the cinematic short, I can only imagine a runner with full inventory and just see gun parts/barrels and other loot poking out of their vest super awkwardly since all their looting was just them shoving crap under their vest/waistband

[karmic sable]

While that would be cool, there is an amount of fake gore they can do in T rating

[magic rose]

dumb to not use the destiny 2 ghost animation instead of a gym bag.

[mental void]

will marathon be on xbox pc gamepass by chance or only steam?

[karmic sable]

They redid every weapon animations because they were using D2 animations

[tight spire]

I’d say that you should point out things that bother you in a product you’ll be paying for/have paid for already

even if they are non-issues in the grand scheme of things

[pulsar cradle]

yeah its not destiny why tf are we mentioning destiny lmao

[karmic sable]

The devs absolutely want the game to be as far away as it can be away from D2

[tight spire]

unlikely to be on the game pass, at least at first

[pulsar cradle]

cool,its not changing so idgaf

[magic rose]

because thats a corpse in their other game, better than a gym bag imo.

[tight spire]

it could change

it’s a live-service product. changes are the name of the game

[outer lichen]

I mean I tend to agree, I think the body bags are kinda dumb, unless the bodies can decay to the point they basically disappear I don’t see any reason for the bags to exist

[tight spire]

after Marathon

[lilac lodge]

On @pulsar cradle life and the fate of their soul for all of eternity in the afterlife marathon open weekend is shadow dropping during the state of play

[ancient storm]

did u know that assassin is an invisibility sphere from marathon 2's multiplayer maps

[pulsar cradle]

cool, different game, can you loot pplayers in the crucible? no you cant. be sensible stop comparing past games as a anchor to your argument is dumb and stupid

[tight spire]

the backpacks could still stay on the bodies. I reckon it’s a hard thing to balance though, because what if somebody picks up the dead guy’s backpack?

[fallen berry]

Honestly, the fact that we’re in an official discord server for the game, I’m sure the devs are taking some notes to some extent.

[pulsar cradle]

bro wtf😭

[tight spire]

you’d have people thinking there’s a backpack to pick up, only to realise that it isn’t there

[magic rose]

you got a fetish for polyester bags or something?

[ancient storm]

yeah

[outer lichen]

Tie the interaction to the body itself, pretty simple

[ancient storm]

mmmm polyester bagzz

[pulsar cradle]

no im just not stupid, i know why the bags are in the game and idgaf if they are in it or not, it functions well so i can acc see it, i understand your argument for immersion but outside of that its not an issue in the grand scheme of things, idc

[tight spire]

yes, but then there’s the visibility/ease of interaction problem. you’re right that the bodies would have to be made so as they don’t decompose entirely, but that still might cause issues

[pulsar cradle]

true, but its not out and saying this rn when 95% of the player base hasnt touched the game is a waste of time, you deadahh talking to the wall

[tight spire]

I’d say that gameplay-wise the duffel bags are a better choice, but I’d take a little jank to make it more immersive

[proven kernel]

the bodies are physics based, so they can get yeeted off to weird areas. that’s why the bags drop, for the chance the loot won’t go flying off in some weird interaction.

[pulsar cradle]

say this louder pls

[proven kernel]

this louder

[sour cairn]

fortnit e

[pulsar cradle]

ima be nice cus you are a mod

[magic rose]

lmao any object can be anchored tho m8

[round wagon]

thank you for explaining

[tight spire]

I’m talking to other people to share my views on the topic. I know that it’s unlikely to change before release, or even in the first season, but that doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t talk about it at all?

[fallen berry]

Ok now this makes sense

[pulsar cradle]

not bags silly

[outer lichen]

Hmm… a fair explanation. Though I would like the bags to be a little less… invasive, I guess is the word?

They kinda stand out.

[fallen berry]

Your point had nothing to do with this so shut up 🙄

[pulsar cradle]

do you speak for me?

bros the mind reader

[magic rose]

make them on theme.

[pulsar cradle]

what they said is an enforcment of my statment

dont be dumb pls

[proven kernel]

I’ll agree with that, but it’s a “eh, whatever” for me.

[tight spire]

they are. they do fit visually

it’s a gameplay-dictated shortcut

[magic rose]

ah well problem solved

[pulsar cradle]

make a design of what you would like

[tight spire]

and it frankly does make sense

[fallen berry]

Ahh I see you’re that 1 🫏 that every server/chat has

[magic rose]

lmao catty mofo arent ya.

[outer lichen]

I could be an outlier. But immersion for me is a big factor in enjoyment, and at least the ones I saw in the alpha kinda pulled me outta that

[tight spire]

it’s kind of like not seeing any of your 100 weapons in Fortnite or GTA

[fallen berry]

Right like wtf

[pulsar cradle]

bro i was asking lmao i wasnt upset

i was curious lmaoooooooo

[fallen berry]

Bringing mad negative energy

[warm granite]

Bags are fine I love opening them and immediately taking a deep sniff of the air escaping the bag

[pulsar cradle]

you aint in an anime speak normally

[tight spire]

same.

[tight spire]

ain’t
speak normally

[outer lichen]

I mean they look like something out of Apex really, if we’re being honest

[pulsar cradle]

strawman ❤️

[magic rose]

ride or die for duffle.

[tulip sedge]

nani sore?

[tight spire]

because they are, lol

they even display player stats on the top, I think

[pulsar cradle]

god forbid a game has a duffle bag system 😭

[tight spire]

how is that a strawman?

[tight spire]

this is literally a textbook example of a strawman

[pulsar cradle]

loud buzzer

veryyy loud buzzer

good try tho

[outer lichen]

It’s not the bag system I have an issue with, it’s the design of them detracting from the immersion of the rest of the game’s style, like I’ve been saying the whole time

[magic rose]

strawbag*

[pulsar cradle]

what would you suggest? for them to add, i would think maybe jus looting the bodies but i know that there might be bugs or issues behind that

[magic rose]

id be happy with a bag that looks like it was designed by nothing.

[tight spire]

you just don’t know what a rhetorical strawman is, do you?
do you also think a POV (of something) is watching somebody else (do it)?

[outer lichen]

You don’t even have to do that necessarily just shrink them down some and make them look like an actual bag instead of a grey holographic box

[pulsar cradle]

yo stfu im not having this convo idgaf pls stop

all bro does is yappy yap yap

[tight spire]

stfu
convo
idgaf
pls
speak normally

[tulip sedge]

i think a bag is still needed since the body decays, right? though I agree that the bag design can be a bit more in line with the entire aesthetic

[pulsar cradle]

yeah i think shrinking would be good that or the lootable things are just the backpacks

[dusk oak]

[pulsar cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/fadding-homelander-gif-16156538903600882075

[tight spire]

bro
yappy yap yap
speak normally

[pulsar cradle]

more yap

[outer lichen]

Yeah my whole point is that a runner body just shitting out a nondescript box when they die is immersion-breaking and it should be more in-line with something like the backpack models.

[pulsar cradle]

you should name yourself daily dose of yap

[mental void]

I did it boys without even playing the tech tests I've Preodered Marathon just to support Bungie. I'm nervous but excited

[willow shadow]

everyone in here should IMO

[urban apex]

Yeah I pre ordered the deluxe edition yesterday because I wanna support bungie as well

[magic rose]

man i remember 10 years ago preordering a game wasnt like on par with a car loan.

[tight spire]

it’s a massive development studio with 900 employees

what is there to support?

[tulip sedge]

the localized pricing for Marathon in my country is cheaper than $40. so I just decided to pre order cause why not.

[urban apex]

For real I agree

[pulsar cradle]

yeah, they could def just have the backpacks instead of the bags, but as a pvp sense i see why they did the duffels as a way that's accessible and visually attractive

[fallen berry]

I ended up getting the collectors edition. Pretty sweet buy

[nimble canyon]

I bring grim tidings.

[urban apex]

Hell yeah

[magic rose]

I think alot of bungies recent hiring and spending have required funding from outside sources now that money is drying up.

[willow shadow]

i wanted to pre order after i wachted the ViDOC and pre odered as soon as they lanched the trailer

Not just a UK thing.

[willow shadow]

i was sold on the vision and i want to support that vision

even if its not what they showed straight away from the start... if that their vision im buying into that

[urban apex]

Yeah I agree

[outer lichen]

Never going to work. Easy to bypass.

[proven kernel]

I’m just going to print out a photo of some random old person and take a picture of it lol.

Maybe Sean Connery.

They fixed my previous bypass I used with Death Stranding 2.

[mental void]

Pre-Order and Launch dates, I still remember Halo 3 launch, I was too young for Halo 2 and Halo 1 launch dates but Halo 3 I remember the midnight local gamestop release hype

[magic rose]

lmao like they dont know your identity already.... but muh id

[pulsar cradle]

why am i getting discord news

[tight spire]

I don’t know why that hasn’t been a thing already!!!

[nimble canyon]

Same, UK is trying to regulate VPN providers to make users hand over ID.

[willow shadow]

shaun connery the random person xD that is INDY's dad and james bond a legend id say no xD

[proven kernel]

i just thought of a random celebrity.

he was the first to pop in my mind for some reason.

[tight spire]

so cool!!!

[nimble canyon]

But with my VPN access I already appear outside the UK so I'm safe.

[mental void]

i'm excited for many people to experience it for the first time lol those stories are actually good

[willow shadow]

hahah

[tight spire]

but you still have to connect through you provider, that’s within the UK

[urban apex]

Alright guys I gotta get back to work but you all have a blessed day and let’s go marathon is coming in like 3 weeks can’t freaking wait! I hope they make a lfg chat so I can group up with some of you guys and we can run some games. Anyways talk later guys.

[tight spire]

they’ll be the ones to block your access, since they actually do know where they’re routing your traffic to and from

[nimble canyon]

Yes, but my IP and MAC appears outside of the UK, thus I circumvent all IP based ID.

[nimble canyon]

Of course, if they choose to block the IP range said VPN uses.

VPN's are not infallible but they are incredibly resistant to censorship.

[tight spire]

I thought you were talking about potential future restrictions, not the current ones. my bad

[pulsar cradle]

10 years ago it was the same thing, go a lil more back and then the preorders get a lil cheaper

[clever haven]

so there shouldn’t be a problem then

[clever haven]

idk if i’d say that it’s more likely that it’s the weekend after

[nimble canyon]

I bought the card using crypto so I couldn't be traced my countries shitty goverment.

[nimble canyon]

Yes, of course.

[clever haven]

government could be worse ngl

[pulsar cradle]

discord face scan is hella cringe

[clever haven]

it’s pretty bad but could be badder

[nimble canyon]

It can always be worse.

[charred snow]

Wish we could see who are the jokers lobbying for this online tracking stuff as bad as they want to know who we are.

[willow shadow]

id say its the weeknd of 27 28 and 1st

[magic rose]

wasnt the point i was replying to bro acting like preordering was a life altering decision.

[clever haven]

true that

[lilac lodge]

I’m not letting this shit scan my face they get hacked every 2 minutes

[nimble canyon]

LMAO

[magic rose]

lmao our local supermarkets use palintir.... too late bro

[outer lichen]

Honestly you could probably make bank making a 3D model display software for the sole purpose of spoofing these things

[lilac lodge]

They’re moving their hq to my city soon 💔🥀

[pulsar cradle]

was jus saying that you said 10 years ago preorders werent as expensive as they are now, and i was saying 10 years ago it was same :3

[magic rose]

i never said they werent expensive never said anything about the cost bud

[tight spire]

it’s your gubmint itself

[inland folio]

recon trailer today?

[nimble canyon]

Death Stranding 2's worked flawlessly until they patched the detection model.

[tight spire]

[lilac lodge]

Don’t give me hope

[willow shadow]

good call

[magic rose]

in my country games have been 100$ for like 20 years at least.

[clever haven]

that’s crazy

[willow shadow]

but i want to see a rook trailer

[pulsar cradle]

"man i remember 10 years ago preordering a game wasnt like on par with a car loan" i guess this is not talking about cost at all

[clever haven]

it’s very rare for a game that’s not ultimate/complete edition to hit £100

[clever haven]

go get him pickel

[inland folio]

im happy with whatever, i need more marton other than a bowl

[magic rose]

wasnt referring to the cost was referring to the life choice

[inland folio]

not saying the bowl is not peak

[clever haven]

poor bowl

what would nucaloric think

[tight spire]

1-4 minutes

[willow shadow]

been checking that bowl for 3 days now xD

[lilac lodge]

Have to pay for valentines vacation instead of collectors edition 🥀💔

[pulsar cradle]

how tf do i assume that lad

[willow shadow]

well then they should give some reading cause i want to know what these factions ware about

[magic rose]

people acting like preordering is going to change their life, lost in translation.

[pulsar cradle]

ahh okey thanks babe, im slow rn sowwyyy

[clever haven]

i have no idea who did that

there was that one guy who was questioning everybody on why they preordered

[tight spire]

2 minutes?

[clever haven]

connor level interrogation

[nimble canyon]

I just like physical items when games, if I can't have a physical game, items is the next best thing.

[clever haven]

28 STAB WOUNDS

[willow shadow]

no no somone was happy he pre ordered is what happened

[nimble canyon]

28 STAB WOUNDS, DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE, HUH?

[magic rose]

I cbfed scrolling up and finding it but there was one message that came accross as I just bought a second hand car kinda vibe.

[clever haven]

yeah probably in response to that guy

One big thing is Bungie set up a roadmap for Destiny and might get delayed

[outer lichen]

Destiny players are mostly spoiled brats that can’t handle not being the center of attention anymore

Let them cry

[odd musk]

I’m extremely excited for the free weekend and whatever else is in store this week https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1r05acw/upcoming_state_of_play/

[clever haven]

well i wouldn’t say that but a loud minority of them are REALLY angry over a literal game

[broken chasm]

I thought about replaying them, but honestly, everything I love about the original trilogy came from text dumps on data terminals. So, rather than actually playing back through them, I've just been reading all the good stuff.

[outer lichen]

I’ve never not seen a Destiny player bitching about SOMETHING before.

[clever haven]

that’s a mass generalisation come on now

also running th risk of triggering the angry ones

[odd musk]

Tbh, I’ve just gotten back into it via Year of Prophecy ultimate on Steam and the OG collection on PS5 to finally play thru the beginning, really happy so far, so I’m content

[broken chasm]

To be fair, while the Destiny community is often angry, it is rarely angry for no reason.

[clever haven]

damn am i gonna have to change my pfp

we are currently copying one another

[jaunty urchin]

I am normally a console player for games. I recently have been thinking of upgrading to PC. Is there anyone out there who played the beta on console and PC and what were your thoughts on which was better?

[broken chasm]

I noticed, lol.
I wasn't going to say anything

[clever haven]

i might change it honestly i want to

[outer lichen]

Very bad time to get into PCs, very expensive. Save up and wait for the market to stabilize in a year or two unless you have a lot of money set aside.

[clever haven]

Yeah do NOT get into it now with the current ram and gpu crisis

[unreal leaf]

Lol yeah. Usually id say switch ASAP but rn its fucking CRAZY

[clever haven]

nvidia has fucked it over for everyone with their ai investment bullshit

You could probably find something cool in that blue-ish MIDA color

[clever haven]

I have smt greeny but perchance i shall do some color correction

[gray minnow]

im holding onto my spare set of ddr4 ram

[lilac iris]

So open beta announcement on Thursday is the consensus right?

[outer lichen]

Assumption yes

[jaunty urchin]

OK! Thanks all. I guess I just keep to my xbox. Damn!

[clever haven]

we hope so

[clever haven]

For now i think ur gonna have to my friend

[outer lichen]

Give it a year or two, things might come back down to acceptable levels.

[broken chasm]

I genuinely hope this isn't the case.
Obviously, I want it in my hands ASAP
But this is Valentine's Day weekend

And my 20th Wedding Anniversary, lol

[gray minnow]

'announcement' yes ... but the weekend to play will prolly be 20-22nd

[cerulean dew]

IF you want to switch to PC and have a valid reason other than wanting it for 1 game, then hunt for prebuilt deals as they are currently cheaper than building rn.

sometimes ya get lucky

[outer lichen]

True, that is a good exception. But this generally only works in the U.S. used market.

[clever haven]

i would never recommend prebuilt myself but in this current economy i don’t know

[broken chasm]

Oh, I may have mis-understood-
Yes, I do think the announcement will be at the Sony State of Play
I'm just hoping it won't be for this weekend, specifically.

[lilac iris]

I feel like they have to at least announce it or drop some new cinematics or something to keep the hype momentum they have going

[outer lichen]

Give us a second cinematic short 🤤

[outer lichen]

If you have a Costco nearby their builds are almost always good bang for buck tbh

[cerulean dew]

depends on what you can find. prebuilts usually don't include the crazy ram price hikes. I like to go check out my local walmarts just to see what they got, but would recommend a cosco or similar store.

[broken chasm]

Bungie has a golden opportunity with Marathon, because Arc Raiders is starting to wear-thin for a lot of people. The recent roadmap they put out was incredibly sparse, with the next new map officially not arriving until April, a month after Marathon's release.

Marathon dropping before Arc Raiders can get that next big content patch out the door, while players are bored and frustrated, is huge for Bungie. They just need to capitalize on that.

[clever haven]

i’m not from the US

[clever haven]

yeah fair enough

i built my own rig and don’t regret a single thing tbh

[outer lichen]

Mines a ship of Theseus, started as a prebuilt, everything’s been replaced over time like twice lol

[cerulean dew]

I'm pretty narrow minded when it comes to recommendations outside of US since I just haven't had that experience. I'm sure it sucks everywhere tho. Anyone who built a year ago is living large rn!

[clever haven]

For real i’m so so happy i did

[wide prawn]

i think fabs are spinning back up for older cpus and ddr4 ram specifically in response to the skyrocketing price of ddr5, and i run a system on those specs and it still destroys most games i play

[clever haven]

I’m so lucky i haven’t had to replace anything

[outer lichen]

I managed to snag an MSRP 5070ti RIGHT before the RAM shit kicked off

[wide prawn]

even if i upgrade my ram i'd still be on ddr4 which is still affordable

[cerulean dew]

The ti 50 series are basically non-existent or insanely over MSRP now. Good pickup.

[pulsar cradle]

hi guys

[outer lichen]

True I saw a 32gb DDR4 kit yesterday for like $180 at Walmart

Could be better, but not bad

[wide prawn]

and 32gb is honestly overkill

[pulsar cradle]

i have 140 gb

[cerulean dew]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh debatable.

[pulsar cradle]

i lied i have 8

[outer lichen]

32gb is the new standard actually Windows is so bloated nowadays you kinda need it

[cerulean dew]

Hogwarts legacy consumes 16gb if you will let it

and that was a 2023 game

I think

[clever haven]

u can debloat it some of the way, still need to do that

[wide prawn]

i've got 16 and really low page swaps running notoriously ram-hungry programs (anything written in java)

[outer lichen]

A fast CPU can make up for lower RAM size but budget chips need that extra room

[wide prawn]

ryzen 5 5600x

[sly salmon]

This is just Destroyer going Super Saiyan God

[cerulean dew]

that would work better with 32gb especially since it's ddr4. I have the same chip and it's awesome but never tried it with just 16.

[delicate parcel]

Need duos

[cerulean dew]

(that wasn't me saying to go get 32gb rn, don't haha)

[cyan bridge]

gasses up

releases ult

[clever haven]

gasses up

releases fart

[wide prawn]

my first upgrade candidate rn is my graphics card, which is a 12gb 3060

and even then it only struggles with some vr scenes

[clever haven]

honestly that’s still great, my ryzen 5 7600x is absolutely crazy

never had any problems with it

[cerulean dew]

Lol we have the same exact rig haha

[clever haven]

3060 is what i’ve got lowkey u don’t need to replace anything rn

[cerulean dew]

3060 12gb is a beast. You are good for a couple years

Especially cause prices

[clever haven]

it’s annoying to have to wait but the 3060 lowkey has done everything i’ve asked of it with little to no complaint

[wide prawn]

i would at most be shifting to the 40 series

[cerulean dew]

That's not a big enough jump in performance unless you go to like a 4070ti

[wide prawn]

also i want to upgrade becauae vrchat crashes like at least once per session

[lilac lodge]

Mida government mandated aura dropped

[cerulean dew]

I feel like 12gb vram is fine for vrchat, but I've never used it so idk

[wide prawn]

and also alyx has some clear vram issues in one section

[outer lichen]

Ehhhh 60 series cards not really intended for VR if I’m being honest

Can do it, just not well all the time

[cerulean dew]

Interesting

[outer lichen]

Can try turning on Resizable Bar if your mobo supports it tho, might help some

Increases VRAM data efficiency in some cases

[cerulean dew]

Def for Intel cards. Can't use them without it.

B580 is a great deal and def better than a 3060

and cheaper

[outer lichen]

REBAR existed long before Intel GPUs, but yes

[cerulean dew]

B580 is equal to say a 4060 tho so 🤷‍♂️

Are the games you're playing/wanting to play needing an fps boost

[cerulean dew]

3060ti is better than both 4060 and b580 besides in the vram department. Never understood why there's a base model 3060 with 12gb but the ti version only has 8

[pulsar cradle]

ofc always, if you need a third on marathon hit me up

[serene chasm]

I think the ti has more cuda cores and has faster bus

I could be wrong tho

[urban solstice]

I always think of ti as tiny improvements

[cerulean dew]

I have both the 3060ti and 3060 12gb and I just prefer the 12gb it runs cooler and plays what I want fine. 3060ti gets too hot for no extra benefit (I game 1080p 100hz)

Many such cases...

[cerulean dew]

But fortnite is more popular

[urban solstice]

Yea definitely

[wide prawn]

the issue with your logic is that i like fortnite more than apex

[wooden fjord]

Fortnite was actually enjoyable and exciting though so I don't get why it's being compared to ARC

[urban solstice]

Fortnite mid

[keen zinc]

Your honor, I plead nuh uh

[cerulean dew]

because its the game that blew up the BR genre, just like Arc is blowing up the extraction genre

[pulsar cradle]

lets not carried away babe youve been doing great so far

[cerulean dew]

PUBG started BRs, Fortnite made them popular, and Apex made them good. That's the comparison I'm making to these extraction games.

[pulsar cradle]

i noticed after reading it abit

[tropic sierra]

Day z existed before pub g. Mc hunger games was long before that.

[cerulean dew]

Right but nobody viewd that as an actual BR, it didn't really coin the genre

[silent trout]

If Marathon is able to be the Apex of Extraction Shooters (As in it is a unique and different take on the genre like how Apex was to Fortnite), I'd count that as a dub

[proven kernel]

Everyone sleeping on RedSec smh my head.

[silent trout]

Not saying that it has to

Daily reminder that you don't have to hate on other games to enjoy Marathon, especially Arc Raiders 😅

[pulsar cradle]

you are short

[cerulean dew]

I've been playin Apex a lot to prepare for Marathon because it's so much more comparable than to something like Arc Raiders. Tight gunplay, hero defined abilities, squad synergy, etc. The only thing Marathon and Arc have in common is they are both extraction shooters. Apex and Marathon have so many more parallels.

It’s pretty annoying when people do it tbh.

Arc was always boring it’s just a hype train

[silent trout]

Bungie and Respawn got sauce man, like as much as they sometimes suck ass, when they do it right, its sooooo good

[keen zinc]

Hating is going to another game's discord by the thousands and spewing misinformed hate. Nobody would do that... right?

[grand whale]

It’s common

[pulsar cradle]

arc is like that one clip of spongebob and patrick on that tiny ahhh roller coster

[charred snow]

Gladly. Don't know why we have to pick sides on this 😅

[cerulean dew]

Arc is totally fine and fun, it's just not comparable to Marathon in any way. You will find more parallels between Fortnite and Arc and Marathon and Apex than you will Arc and Marathon.

sponsour kits are free kits but you are limited to them

[grand whale]

I see

[ashen oracle]

Great

[silent trout]

Okay rq yall
What would you feel is the ideal number of new runner shells each year if Bungie is going in that direction?

[pulsar cradle]

which is good cus as you see the slop of a game of arc 3/4 of the ppl you kill are free kits

[nova fiber]

I feel like sponsor kits are great for when you're trying new maps / new things or are with a group you aren't sure you'll play with much

[keen zinc]

2 minimum

[ashen oracle]

Every wipe bungie should do one massive extraction where you bring yo;ur entire inventory and if you die you lose everything

For sure, Rook is great for that. You can just find a dead player and then you'll profit on med kits alone, nvm getting a real gun

[pulsar cradle]

marathon is buying shi off stores not crafting for 30 mins to hop into a game

[grand whale]

2 or 4

[pulsar cradle]

rook is good for anything tbh

[grand whale]

That’s great farming mats is so annoying in arc

its not in the sense you need mats for EVERYTHING, but you def need mats for trades and other things

I'm interested to see how they're planning on pushing out story content
I honestly really want it to be more of a story where Bungie just hints at stuff during an update

[eager token]

Morning everyone

[digital light]

Good morning

[shy swift]

morning!

[pulsar cradle]

yeah some loot n stuff mostly bosses and higher ranks, but the ai serves as a deterent to the real loot which is mostly like a highloot area or room or an event that drops tons of loot after you kill the ai

[grand whale]

I will be killing my question is more about the economy since in marathon you will die quite often compare to arc how “fast” can u “restock” on the losses

Or how easy

Per say

[pulsar cradle]

the economy is rlly good tbh

yeah dude im working atm but dm me if you wish and ill check in a bit

[digital light]

This is true

[grand whale]

Ok

[cerulean dew]

just standard bowl tho. fuck those high performance bowls

[pulsar cradle]

especially when the benefit of killing ppl is so good, think of the amount of upgrades and crazy builds you can make just from the implants and cores off of other ppl, including keys, no safe pockets makes loot flow fair and constant

[eager token]

Imagine working on a Monday

[digital light]

This is the first Monday I’ve had off in months

[grand whale]

Tuff, is the game loot pool filled with junk?

[silent trout]

Im hoping its also involved with like the S'pht we saw or somehow dialogue with a random UESC unit thats gone rouge
Ofc, it doesnt have to be anything of that sorts, but it'd be so cool if the story telling is occasionally done through breaking the mold that status quo of the factions

[drifting relic]

So we all sticking around after the great Age Verification purge happening next month?

[silent trout]

I wanna see them do some GOOFY shit for the story telling

[hollow harness]

I like the pvp feels rewarding ro kill a three man

[crude stone]

they gonna give us a new cinematic today

[pulsar cradle]

no cus everyhting serves its purpose, its quite literally, either profitbale items that are meant to be sold, materials to craft,guns, implants,cores,heals, and nades

[keen zinc]

What if one of the rarest gold bags had 1 safe pocket slot and only drops in endgame maps

[cerulean dew]

mida cinematic an hour ago

[drifting relic]

Hope Discord doesn’t die cause of this

[crude stone]

more like a teaser

[silent trout]

[cerulean dew]

Mida on top

[keen zinc]

Twitter didn't die after becoming a dystopia so

[cerulean dew]

damn I remember the mpreg. I used to preach that shit in the early days.

Those were interesting times

[silent trout]

Its still being preached in the mida comms

[cerulean dew]

Haven't clicked on that chat in a long long time. I just came back to this server after like 10 months

[silent trout]

Im curious to the ppl in other factions, what is the running joke in those comms channels?

[pulsar cradle]

slop here is a better idea, the sake pocket is now called the safe box and is located in 2 areas of the map that has a few storage only one team can use it and once it does it get locked out to any ppl, boom ez and cool and intense way to implement a system that is very abusive and unrewarding if given straight to all players like in arc.

[keen zinc]

wish i wasnt illiterate rn

[cerulean dew]

If u look at my chat history I was top 1% mida propaganda spreader

I've retired since we can't spam anymore

[pulsar cradle]

[merry matrix]

Hello guys. Is there any information about open testing?

[silent trout]

No

[gray minnow]

after the success of Marathon, bungie should just shut down all destiny servers 😄

[mental belfry]

[dusk oak]

No handsome

[wooden wolf]

[wooden wolf]

[silent trout]

People are betting that the State of Play on Feb 12 is gonna have an announcement date for an open weekend

[silent trout]

Ye

[dusk oak]

[wet herald]

Hilarious pfp

[hearty olive]

[prime siren]

"I have done this long enough to know there are two kinds of runners. Those you can trust, and those wearing black and red."

[wet herald]

lol

[dusk oak]

i think Marathon cheating with us

[sly salmon]

I'm starting to think the open playtest is fake news that I got gaslit into believing

[dusk oak]

i guess they dont have the budget to make animation trailer anymore. Thats why no new video today

[wispy yacht]

So open beta confirmed for 13-15 ?

[scenic meteor]

No

[dusk oak]

who feeding u fake news

[wispy yacht]

Isn't sony event on 12th ?

[dusk oak]

theres no open beta, there is no roadmap

[cerulean dew]

Me when I’m fake news

[scenic meteor]

You must not have any plans on the 14th

[high cargo]

I want play so bad

[hearty olive]

d2 comp has reached d1 levels of inactivity.

[proven kernel]

As I said, we’re finding out who’s single in record time.

[high cargo]

I want to* XD

[wooden wolf]

listen

[high cargo]

Me

[wispy yacht]

Loda bhenchod

[wooden wolf]

correlation is not causation

[cerulean dew]

I’m serving my gf a temporary breakup notice

[high cargo]

gf are temporary marathon is eternal

[cerulean dew]

more like… durandal

[proven kernel]

My apologies. It could also mean we’re about to find out who will be single after this weekend too.

[wooden wolf]

😭😭😭😭

[merry matrix]

thank you, I thought about it for a long time

[high cargo]

Durandal is infinite

[cerulean dew]

I laugh when outsiders say this game will be dead on arrival while there’s 300,000 of us sitting in here waiting to play it

[scenic meteor]

What if the real valentines present is going on a tau ceti date 🤍

[silent trout]

Durandal is just gonna shit post (please let it be true)

[high cargo]

Yep

[keen zinc]

what if a couple plays this game and goes so broke they have to go on solo rook runs and when they get back together one of them goes I found someone else

[scenic meteor]

Sounds like a skill issue

I could never go broke 🗣️

[spiral violet]

wait til the wipe hits

[cerulean dew]

How will crossplay work? A console pool and a pc pool? PC players only ever see console players if they’re partied up together? That’s best method imo.

[wooden wolf]

uhh

idk
