[old spruce]

[slender whale]

Dude it looks so good

[magic rose]

Is the grapple hook class in server slam ?

[rapid flint]

Also like... how are we feeling about rooks? Friendly or shoot on sight?

[jovial dew]

ive been saving money for months to get marathon, i hope i like the server slam

[old spruce]

Not sure should be

[nimble canyon]

I pre-ordered the collectors edition which goes against my usual MO after getting burned so often

[split galleon]

crimson desert looks too good, suspiciously good, has to be something wrong with it

[devout cedar]

That was a fun little test. Arcahne gang rise up

[jovial dew]

i got a friend that is hella excited for it too

[slender whale]

Everyone is shoot on sight

[nimble canyon]

Thief is not included in the server slam it's confirmed

[rapid flint]

It isn't unfortunately

[slender whale]

If it moves, shoot it

[primal frigate]

yeah it looks but i have a feeling it will be like Breath of the Wild where the story will be shallow and just a vehicle to unlocking mechanics

[coarse kernel]

If there's any segment of the marathon ship that's like busted open and requires spacewalks in some areas to navigate around

[old spruce]

WAIT ITS NOT? WHY

[tranquil valley]

if u wanna u should check out this video https://youtu.be/w7qIHWjp3xE?si=lY1fsgPCH_BdVLH2

made me so much more hyped for it too

[nimble canyon]

Yeah Thief is not included in the server slam just like the last couple of tests

[slender whale]

Honestly, im fine with that. Im more into the gameplay than the story in any game i play. Press A to skip

[old spruce]

So who is availble during the test then

[nimble canyon]

They know people are down bad for her.

[celest raft]

everyone else

[jovial dew]

brooo i just want to see more of the aliens, the Compiler teaser is so fucking sickkkk

[celest raft]

iirc

[rapid flint]

Thief is the only runner not up during the server slam I have absolutely no clue why lol probably because they want people in fire fights and less loot goblins running around

[verbal swallow]

If it’s anything like the spacewalks in Destiny, SIGN ME UPPPP

[vast quiver]

what is up still lot going on

[old spruce]

oH

[primal frigate]

fair I guess

[tranquil valley]

for reallllll…

[nimble canyon]

All of the runners including rook. Just no thief. Five out of six runners.

[magic rose]

But majority of the gameplay I saw for marathon was of that grapple class thief

[old spruce]

I guess they want to make it fair? but they should let her be in it

[celest raft]

probably bc loot is limited for the slam

[tranquil valley]

i wonder if we will find pink cat more in the server slam

[old spruce]

Damn

[celest raft]

she wouldn't be as desirable

[coarse kernel]

Jumping from debris to debris, antenna to antenna would be crazy

[rapid flint]

What are the aliens called again?

[tranquil valley]

maybe we will solve some more story answers with that…

[celest raft]

Phfor

[jovial dew]

bingus, save me bingus

[celest raft]

or Spht

[tranquil valley]

phor and spht

[nimble canyon]

S'pht and Phor

[coarse kernel]

Your tether snaps and it's over, your runner lands right back on tau ceti with your loot and body in shambles

[celest raft]

Spht is pronounced s-fit

[nimble canyon]

It honestly sounds like I'm trying to curse in a foreign language.

[celest raft]

and Phfor is just prnounced as four

[slender whale]

Anyone know anything about the ranked mode?

[tranquil valley]

LOL

not yet

[slender whale]

How do you even have ranks in a game like this

[rapid flint]

I can't wait to turn a corner and see a giant alien ship just watching us and seeing what's happening

[tranquil valley]

likely will be similar to cryo archive

[nimble canyon]

We don't know much about the ranked mode. They said it will be coming though but later in the season when the game fully releases.

[primal frigate]

minimum gear value

[celest raft]

theres a minimum value you enter into a raid with for it, you get higher rank by extracting with a value that surprasses a certain target value, and you lose rank if you die in the process

[tranquil valley]

where u have to have a certain amount in ur loadout going in

yeah

[thick stream]

come on bungie, announce the ps5 pro additional features 🙏🤡🙏

[old spruce]

I cant wait to look around a corner and get sniped from a camper

[tranquil valley]

yeah

[slender whale]

I feel like RNG plays a huge factor in games like this

[primal frigate]

and an item that indicates how much loot you need to extract

[slender whale]

So to have a ranked mode is kinda rough

[jovial dew]

thats what makes them engaging

[nimble canyon]

What additional features would you even want a higher frame rate?

[rapid flint]

We are called assassin mains aka former hunter mains thank you

[tranquil valley]

so ranked mode could be like, if u don’t have enough money by the exfil u just can’t exfil

[thick stream]

120fps or unlocked frame rate

[old spruce]

too much cod sorry

[celest raft]

I can already hear solos crying about assassin rats

[winged elk]

I've discovered it is incredibly entertaining to rage bait the arc raiders Reddit.

[tranquil valley]

or u lose points

[devout cedar]

Old enough to remember marathon 2 on my dad's Mac 😅 hope we get the phfor

[tranquil valley]

would be rly cool

[eternal raptor]

the best part is that any alien they add will still be like 20% as scary as a fucking battleroid showing up

[nimble canyon]

Valid.

[primal frigate]

you dont lose rank if you extract without enough loot, you only lose rank if you die

[jovial dew]

i think ranked will be similar to the one in Arena breakout, everyone needs minimum gear value but there are higher threatening enemies and better loot

[celest raft]

dont make me tap the sign, the one that says

Art Raiders

[slender whale]

I can't wait for all the people to make posts on steam asking for PVE mode lol

[tranquil valley]

yeah exactly

[inland hatch]

most agitated community

[tranquil valley]

maybe the pve will be harder

in ranked

[rapid flint]

Don't worry I feel like I'm gonna be losing so many fights in this game lol

[void tiger]

me who only plays recon in every game

[primal frigate]

the fact that everyone needs to bring enough of value means that if youre good with pvp you will be able to rank up

or just loot

[nimble canyon]

You break into cryo and defrost one of the pods only to get punched in the face by a battleroid

[primal frigate]

and rat

[slender whale]

That's like high roller in dark and darker, I can get behind that

[old spruce]

People are insane these days im worried how they will handle xim users so cringe

[tranquil valley]

i’m guess we are gonna find strauss in there ngl

[nimble canyon]

They're not very happy that you woke them up.

[winged elk]

I literally just said "it's easier to shoot someone in the back why would I wait for them to look at me" and apparently my parents no longer love me, my gf cheats on me while I'm topside. Oh and I'm gay?

[tranquil valley]

yeah LMAO

[jovial dew]

wait, actually yeah, how does invisibility works, the more you move the more visible you are?

[tranquil valley]

“what do you mean we made it?? tau ceti?? what??”

[rapid flint]

I'm so pumped just to really hear the audio design too. Like let me hear and feel the world around me... I can't wait

[void tiger]

It’s crossplay so usually the pc players will just slam any xim users

[primal frigate]

arc is a lovely friendly community ig

[celest raft]

that sub is full of actual carebears

[tranquil valley]

FOR REAL

[fleet thicket]

3 days to marathon

[devout cedar]

For a PS5 player you think cross play on or off? Kinda worried about keyboards owning me

[nimble canyon]

The more you move the more you're visible, but you'll always have a shimmer and an outline.

[tranquil valley]

the audio design seems soooo good

[celest raft]

its a better circlejerk than the circlejerk sub

[jovial dew]

Necron style

[celest raft]

not even joking

[old spruce]

oh ok

[celest raft]

ignore it

[eternal raptor]

defeating a hard boss for a line of cryptic dialog: “omg i love dark souls and elden ring!”

defeating players for a cryptic terminal entry: “ermmm, why is there no story mode?”

[primal frigate]

Arc = toxic positivity

[celest raft]

the game is better for ignoring it

[inland hatch]

hahahaha reminds me of the people i'd PvP and they'd scream "IM LITERALLY JUST A FREE KIT MAN" as if i need to conduct a loot interview before deciding to merc you

[celest raft]

the Reddit users do not exist

they are loot balloons

just think of them like that

[primal frigate]

fair

[queen otter]

honestly bothe arc and marathon's reddit groups are so annoying; any criticism towards marathon pretty much puts you on the cross lol

[nimble canyon]

Isn't waking up a necron by disturbing a tomb world considered a war crime because of what it will bring upon the Galaxy

[old spruce]

yeah specially the mic sounds too, I use mostly tts cause I cant talk a lot sometimes

[winged elk]

I played for the first time in a while yesterday and heard more slurs than I did playing rust

[old spruce]

elevanlabs bb

[celest raft]

the Bungie glazers are a cult/hivemind, one more devious than Arachne

[coarse kernel]

God forbid you don't bring a metal detector with you wherever you go

[void tiger]

Keep it on, because it’s a team based game and I’m sure you will get pc players in your lobby

[vast quiver]

whatever

[jovial dew]

more like waking up many old people with dementia, back pain and a shotgun at their hands

[winged elk]

Yeah. Marathons Reddit is defensive just bc the game has been getting flak for a while now, ig it'll all be told in a couple days

[nimble canyon]

Kinda accurate

[queen otter]

literally gave criticism on how there wasn't much in variety when it came to marathons AI design other than the robots and they all got mad lol

[rapid flint]

Also discord chat remember...when a streamer gives their over exaggerating opinion to clip farm you do not have to make that your opinion too. It's okay of some people don't like the game or do it's up to you to have fun or not!

[tranquil valley]

fart raiders

[split galleon]

i got about 50hrs out of arc before i got bored, felt like i was chasing loot value just for the value number on extract

[old spruce]

We need more responses like this ngl

[celest raft]

I was gonna say, one of the weakest aspects for this game seems to be the PvE

UESC does

not seem smart

[swift escarp]

okay guys, im back - did you guys miss me? i missed you guys fr 💔 (give me my nuts)

[celest raft]

like at all

[tranquil valley]

especially do not listen to the burnt penis’s opinions

[celest raft]

they don't seem to be much of a concern

unless there's like 6 or more

[tranquil valley]

sorry guys that’s just my opinion tho

[nimble canyon]

Remember if you get downed in Marathon, be sure to write something in your own blood.

[slender whale]

What lol

[old spruce]

LOL

or ink

[jovial dew]

yeah, theyre more like "heavy damage dumbots"

[old spruce]

ink blood

[nimble canyon]

Something like fuck you in cursive.

Or just FU

[old spruce]

that needs to be a feature

[tranquil valley]

also HAVE U GUYS BEEN WATXHINF THE SHORTS THE OFFICALL MARSTHON HAS POSTED LOL

[celest raft]

do you leave blood trails as you scoot aroundd

lol

[nimble canyon]

It kind of is.

[sacred moon]

im part of arachne now

[nimble canyon]

You leave a blood trail when you scoot around.

[celest raft]

oh yeah I forgot

[old spruce]

rrly?

[celest raft]

the blood you leave dries

[old spruce]

OH YEAH

[celest raft]

doesnt it

[old spruce]

that is peak

[nimble canyon]

If you're bleeding and downed.

[jovial dew]

just an obstacle to check if youre paying attention, but ultimately the apex predators are going to be the other runners, i guess thats why they made the UESC the way they are

[celest raft]

you can tell how long ago someone died by looking at the blood

or body

[nimble canyon]

Which is funny cuz I normally just write things then die.

[old spruce]

dude

[celest raft]

thats pretty cool genuinely

[old spruce]

i cant wait for marathon now omfg

[primal frigate]

yes

[tranquil valley]

one of the yt shorts was a rook betraying his teammate he teamed with and it was so funny

[old spruce]

[jovial dew]

i hope we get to see more interesting AI units in the future though

[rapid flint]

Arachne is super chill vibes btw everyone should check it out

[tranquil valley]

and another was someone self reviving and calling the player they were fighting a bitch

[nimble canyon]

It's really cool that you can use that trail to find someone that's tried to make themselves scarce even when they're downed.

[tranquil valley]

was so funny

[primal frigate]

im sure we will

[celest raft]

teamming in this game is gonna be such a fool's errand

[stoic atlas]

bungo new contract please 🙏

[tranquil valley]

for real

[slender whale]

Honestly the coolest feature in a game of this genre and one of the reasons I changed my mind on playing the game

[tranquil valley]

only rooks will do it

[void tiger]

some people just lack their own thoughts and it’s sad

[coarse kernel]

Non-humanoids would be very welcome

[old spruce]

Please be thursday already

[jovial dew]

like a glass cannon UESC unit that deploys a drone that prevents you of using your skills unless you shoot it

[tranquil valley]

and even if they do it’ll be hard LOL

[old spruce]

smh

[nimble canyon]

I don't think I've actually ever seen a game in which a downed enemy leaves a trail of blood in a multiplayer scenario so you can find them.

[coarse kernel]

I wanna get jumped by tars from interstellar

[jovial dew]

ohh yeah, more aliens

[tranquil valley]

yeah it’s super cool

[slender whale]

Gears of war

[celest raft]

I was asking about Phfor pve enemies the other day

[swift escarp]

i was not given peanuts, the world is somehow cruel today

[tranquil valley]

and makes sense a cyborg would leak a shit load of blue blood

[celest raft]

that'd be peak

[jovial dew]

Dbd

[rapid flint]

This little maneuver is gonna cost us ten years

[primal frigate]

Bf6 kinda? i think

not sure

[old spruce]

bf6 fell off 🙁

[celest raft]

The Finals >

[nimble canyon]

Also, the idea of being able to gauge how old an encounter is with how old a body is. Is such a neat thing.

[primal frigate]

it did im waiting for season 3 to play again

[rapid flint]

My boy conner from Detroit become human agrees

[old spruce]

goated gaame but true sadly

[slender whale]

I love bf6 I dont get why people get bored so fast

[split galleon]

they fumbled hard with bf6 after launch

[tranquil valley]

i hope they add custom finishers u can get so i can curb stomp a guy or something

[old spruce]

I stopped playing due the amount of exploits

[primal frigate]

most of the maps are ass

[slender whale]

People expect content every week or something idk its weird

[celest raft]

way better optimization

[swift escarp]

they just weren’t handling things well on their part - and people just didnt feel rewarded with the time and effort they put in

[old spruce]

True

[celest raft]

tighter game all around

[primal frigate]

no just good content

[celest raft]

imo

[nimble canyon]

I guess if it melts into a puddle of goop I got there too late.

[celest raft]

BF6 is good tho

[jovial dew]

close quarters mostly for some reason

[old spruce]

Another reason too good gameplay tho

[split galleon]

lack of variety in maps

[old spruce]

Its fine but it lacks a lot

[coarse kernel]

The words said 30 seconds after taking in all the pretty guns you got from the team you intercepted last round

[primal frigate]

the fact there is 4 limited timed modes this season is insane

[slender whale]

Whats wrong with the maps? The onky map is hate is that oilfield map

[celest raft]

Arc being the new game from ex DICE, and beating BF6 for the number one spot in sales is still so goated

[nimble canyon]

Runners are biodegradable

[slender whale]

All the others seemed pretty good imo

[winged elk]

Ik it's not the point of the finals but I want a 20v20 mode

[rapid oasis]

i just stumbled onto a game called "Whispers from the Star" do yall know of any similar games? AI2U is one but I think thats all there is.

[nimble canyon]

Are they good for the environment?

[shy flame]

Bruhhh me and the better business bureau must be related, we got the same initials

Big Back Behaviour

[celest coyote]

50

[primal frigate]

all of them are pretty small scale or shittily designed in terms of gameplay

[nimble canyon]

I mean strictly speaking. Humans are technically biodegradable as well. You know once they die.

[celest coyote]

My favorite movie

[primal frigate]

Capture points too close

[jovial dew]

more important, are they yummy?

[vestal parrot]

Does anybody know if Marathon has a player auction house like tarkov where you can sell gear to other players?

[primal frigate]

spawns too big

[swift escarp]

oh absolutely i havent had this much in in battlefield for a very long time, but i just was not feeling rewarded for the time i put in

[shy flame]

Miss u chat

[primal frigate]

airspace too small

[void tiger]

what if we get pets in this game to fetch us stuff, would be cool

[celest raft]

no

[nimble canyon]

Unless they've got absurd amounts of plastic surgery in which they're harmful to the environment.

[long osprey]

not me, i'm half microplastics

[wooden fjord]

It does not

[celest coyote]

Don’t think so

[celest raft]

there will be no player driven economy in this game

[tranquil valley]

aren’t you the skibidi toilet girl

[primal frigate]

they added a new vehicle and its only on 2 maps

[celest raft]

trading seems to be dissuaded

[shy flame]

Have we seen battlepass previews? Is there a battle pass at launch?

[primal frigate]

imagine that

[winged elk]

Not anymore we gonna be fossilized into plastic with all the microplastics we consume

[queen otter]

bf6 is alot of fun, gameplay is solid, map designs are pretty good with some that are questionable. but overall i've been enjoying season 2

[celest raft]

you cant drop stuff for teammates too

[old spruce]

I dunno i just dont feel like playing mil shooters anymore stuff like marathon is what i want more

[tranquil valley]

the marathon skibidi toilet girl

[nimble canyon]

Did you know some people who have so much plastic surgery in real life when they die and want to be cremated require special procedures?

[rapid flint]

Oh do we know if backstab melee is a one hit down on players? If so I would love to do a melee assassin build craft

[winged elk]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT

[shy flame]

Im having caseys breakfast sausage gravy pizza, also check my bio

[celest coyote]

I don’t think that’s true

[celest raft]

hopefully not

[nimble canyon]

Because incinerating all of that silicon wouldn't be a good idea.

[inland hatch]

depends if the energy/resources put into making the shells is eco friendly as well

[tranquil valley]

CHECK THEIR BIO LMAO

[shy flame]

Just check my bio, its there

[coarse kernel]

All I need in destiny right now is a uesc themed skimmer

[slender whale]

Same I've been having a blast

[tranquil valley]

ITS A LINK TO ART CHANNEL

[vestal parrot]

Damn, that sucks.

[celest raft]

if people start doing Spy TF2 trickstab montages in this game im out

[swift escarp]

i sunk 200 hours which isnt a lot but i just didnt feel like i was being rewarded but i can admit i also just was not getting better and i was actively trying to break habits so part of it is on me

[shy flame]

*her

[tranquil valley]

HER BIO LMAO*

[fossil dagger]

What

[old spruce]

the progression unlocks is painful also screw the challanges

[slender whale]

200 hours is def a lot wym

[nimble canyon]

You can drop anything in your bag, including the weapons you're holding, which means they can be picked up by teammates or enemies. So this is false.

[winged elk]

Who here got the most hours in playtests

[tranquil valley]

meeee

[celest raft]

Yes but they get returned on your way out

[tranquil valley]

jk i’m lying for fun

[celest raft]

so you can drop them

[tranquil valley]

i didn’t get to play in it

[celest raft]

but not keep them

[tranquil valley]

:(

[rapid flint]

I mean getting an actual backstab on a full squad of 3 would be hard so I wouldn't mind it if it was a one or 2 hit down from the back

[primal frigate]

stuff from your incoming loadout will be returned

[shy flame]

Ive been in e very playtest

[nimble canyon]

True.

[fossil dagger]

Its ok you’ll play in the slam

[nimble canyon]

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a mechanic like that.

[shy flame]

Even the invisible one

[rapid flint]

Gotta be good at giving backshots to be a good assassin is what I'm saying

[nimble canyon]

Lending someone a weapon and having it come back to you like a boomerang.

[wooden fjord]

Why are we checking their bio

[tranquil valley]

i preordered too

[primal frigate]

ABI has it I think

[tranquil valley]

for the bonus stuff

[shy flame]

My bio

[fossil dagger]

Im waiting to preorder a sec

[nimble canyon]

Was that before or after it was in one of the tests for Marathon?

[magic rose]

Do the server contracts give anything for the game or is it just for fun?

[tranquil valley]

i check everyone’s bio when they first say a message in chat

or their profile

[old spruce]

what version

[celest raft]

mostly just for fun

[wooden fjord]

That is incredibly odd but okay

[tranquil valley]

just for fun as far as we know

[primal frigate]

since its launch I think?

even in the beta

[tranquil valley]

😔

[fossil dagger]

Deluxe, I need to get RE9 Deluxe first

[tranquil valley]

maybe i’m just weird

[swift escarp]

okay, maybe im just used to sinking 500+ on the games that i do buy, especially monster hunter because its what i grew up with

[wooden fjord]

Sorry bud I don't make the rules

[tranquil valley]

i just like see what ppl have played and stuff before i interact with them

[primal frigate]

ABI has nice QOL stuff but i dont really like the maps and stuff

[old spruce]

Ayo fellow deluxe user im one too

[primal frigate]

quests are boring too

[old spruce]

Y'all like my banner on discord?

[nimble canyon]

I do that too and sometimes I'm horrified cuz I realize they're a horrible chud with dog whistles in their bio

[tranquil valley]

plus a lot of ppl have edgy ass stuff in their bio like “local dinosaur enthusiast” or smth and then i know not to interact

[fossil dagger]

Yessir

[old spruce]

Ty

[verbal swallow]

Fw it

[rapid flint]

I wonder what the faction cosmetics are gonna look like. I can't wait to see them all

[tranquil valley]

EXACTLY SOMEONE GETS IT

[old spruce]

thx

[nimble canyon]

TERFS

[chilly sable]

Worm

[celest coyote]

It’s excellent, I was rlly worried it was gonna be like some other banners I’ve seen

[swift escarp]

Something im honestly really glad to see is that base game is $40, while Deluxe is $60, It’s a small thing but i appreciate it a lot (so does my wallet)

[nimble canyon]

Gross

[rapid flint]

Like my endgame for this game is the fashion I can't lie

[old spruce]

yeah its hard to find good ones but ty

[verbal swallow]

Imagine if NuCaloric just makes you hot pink

[magic rose]

what if you dupe? Is that cheating, or exploits?

[slender whale]

That's fair, I rarely hit 500 hours on games. I have rampant gamer ADD lol

[median jetty]

dear bungie i only have 2 days to live if you guys could kindly give me early access to marathon that would be great

[nimble canyon]

The end game of destiny 2 and the end game of Warframe at some point just ends up becoming fashion.

[lost spear]

Marton

[split galleon]

the amt of hours is relative, like 200 hours in csgo is still noob status

[rapid flint]

I'm all for that lol I'll be the neon pink distraction while my team flanks lol

[fossil dagger]

Who wants to let me in on the secrets of NuCaloric

👀

[tranquil valley]

oh man there are a lot of those

[median jetty]

🫸

[nimble canyon]

Do you remember when Warframe used to have raids?

[median jetty]

get this worm outta here

[sharp nimbus]

.

[nimble canyon]

I've been playing since 2013.

[median jetty]

🫸

[rapid flint]

The NuCaloric secret is you just present burger and they will tell you everything you wanna know

[tranquil valley]

it did?????

[old spruce]

[tranquil valley]

i thought warframe was just like

[slender whale]

The old peace was awesome

[nimble canyon]

Yeah, Warframe used to have raids

[primal frigate]

thank god you can atleast farm premium in warframe

[tranquil valley]

running around

[old spruce]

So will we see the cat in game?

[sharp nimbus]

🐛

[tranquil valley]

when i tried it

[slender whale]

Just finished that recently

[old spruce]

I need to know

[fossil dagger]

Well we shouldnt waste time then

[tranquil valley]

yesyestedyest yes

[old spruce]

:OOO

[nimble canyon]

I saw many a cat in the playtests of different colors

[tranquil valley]

wait a second…

[rapid flint]

Angus the cat?

[old spruce]

oooooo

[vestal parrot]

Since there's no player economy or base building, what do y'all think the endgame of marathon will be like?

[tranquil valley]

traxxus…

[old spruce]

[swift escarp]

That’s also okay though - you’re more focused on weather or not you enjoy the game or not - not just slogging through it despite not having enjoyment in it

[celest raft]

good question

theres no meta progression hardly either

[tranquil valley]

ranked

[primal frigate]

wdym basebuilding 😭

[nimble canyon]

Cryo and Outpost

[celest raft]

theres skill trees

[verbal swallow]

Cryo Center, and the contracts

[vagrant walrus]

.

[celest raft]

shop rep

thats it

[rancid pebble]

only if you die 7 times in a row

[tranquil valley]

there are wipes in this game

so likely just ranked

[median jetty]

if we dont see a pink cat ingame then i might actually host a protest at bungie hq

[fossil dagger]

What about it

[celest raft]

oh yeah

[tranquil valley]

and grinding faction

[slender whale]

The endgame is going in kitted out ig, there isnt really much of an endgame from what I've seen

[celest raft]

this game wipes

so

[old spruce]

lmao

[tranquil valley]

suspicious

[celest raft]

there is that

[primal frigate]

faction rep, and cryo archive

[old spruce]

Ah kinda cool makes up for dying i guess

[celest raft]

endgame is probably gonna look like Cryo Archives and hard ass contracts

[nimble canyon]

Yes, there's wipes were in heavy amounts of debt with Cyac

[tranquil valley]

cryo archive at first

[celest raft]

Traxus contracts

[fossil dagger]

trust I was high sekgen and mida too

[verbal swallow]

Cryo Archive is the endgame map

[celest raft]

Traxus is definitely end game stuff

[vestal parrot]

That kinda sucks.

[old spruce]

I am going to commit Traxus tax fraud

[swift escarp]

guys, should i start asking stupid faction questions again?

[tranquil valley]

everyone needs to remember cryo archive is ONE of the many sections of the marathon i’m sure we will explore

[celest raft]

Traxusfraud

[tranquil valley]

that’s the only hard map rn

[old spruce]

YES LMAO

[rapid flint]

Anyone not from destiny needs to know that if they are getting a raid designer to do the endgame map stuff it's gonna be CHONKY with content in there. My guess is there's gonna be an alien or two in there

[fossil dagger]

I am the traxus true debt collectir

[vestal parrot]

Hopefully bungie adds more endgame content that isn't just gearing.

[slender whale]

I agree, I asked the same question a few days ago and there doesn't seem to be much there

[old spruce]

No i AM NOT PAYING TRAXUS

[nimble canyon]

I want something to punch me in the face when I open a cryo pod.

[slender whale]

You have to enjoy the gameplay loop that much ig

[tranquil valley]

for fuckin real

[primal frigate]

several people just told you cryo archive and faction rep

[nimble canyon]

Do not ask why.

[primal frigate]

so you can build craft

[fossil dagger]

Then just beware of any possible consequences

[celest raft]

meanwhile people here complain about how Arc has no endgame

[tranquil valley]

it’s gonna be sick when interacting with all the factions ai’s when they ask what u found and ur just like “uhmmm alien”

[old spruce]

come get me >:3

[tranquil valley]

and traxxus will be like

[rapid flint]

What if the real marathon were the runners we met along the way

[tranquil valley]

yep we need to buy that NOW

[flint falcon]

There will be surely some secrets incorporated to the maps knowing Bungie

[nimble canyon]

I wonder how much money we will end up owing to CyAc.

[celest raft]

less than Sekgen

for sure

lol

[nimble canyon]

Monthly shell replacements

[vestal parrot]

Yeah, but that's just like, Destiny raids. Marathon is an extraction shooter, I want them to try something different

[celest raft]

imagine if you actually had to pay off your shells in game

[old spruce]

i love this chat ngl

[celest raft]

every time you died

[old spruce]

this chat is a vibe

[celest raft]

very Armored Core

[tranquil valley]

i’m very curious how raid puzzle type stuff will work since all these maps are on a 25 minute timer

[primal frigate]

what extraction shooter has a destiny raid

[split galleon]

well it doesn't, so..

[tranquil valley]

unless the hard maps don’t have a timer or a longer one

[nimble canyon]

So are we just basically mercenaries that don't have a permanent body and we're in mega debt?

[primal frigate]

am I being baited

[celest raft]

even then it has no less than this game seemingly

thats my point

[tranquil valley]

LOL

[slender whale]

Yeah idk, end game does feel absent here. But that's more of an issue of the genre than this game specifically

[old spruce]

like exos from destiny

[vestal parrot]

OK, fair enough. But it doesn't have to be only destiny raids

[median jetty]

when the spht compiler lifts its cloak to attack, are we basically getting flashed by a cybernetic alien

[old spruce]

but you respawn

[sinful dune]

Anyone know how to do the faction quiz?

[tranquil valley]

ranked…

[verbal swallow]

The Cryo Center map is what they compared to be like a raid

[tranquil valley]

plus there are wipes every 3 months

[primal frigate]

games not even out yet

[split galleon]

are you just willfully ignoring what everyone is saying?

[tranquil valley]

every new season everyone’s inventory gets wiped

so

[fossil dagger]

Dont worry son it will be more than just you

[nimble canyon]

How do we know that the AI behind CyAc, Oni has our best interests in mind?

[slender whale]

Wiping progress and restarting is not end game to me

[rapid flint]

I'm sure the cryo map will have specific effects to it. Would love to see a static time endgame map where you explore and figure things out like a raid

[tranquil valley]

exactly :3

[blissful shoal]

What a great name. Great memories

[celest raft]

yeah the game wipes but you can still have endgame content, Tarkov proves that

[nimble canyon]

We don't do we?

[old spruce]

B-but my cores 😔

[celest raft]

there should be a map that costs an item or money to get into or something

ranked is a step in the right direction

[primal frigate]

what is endgame for you fella tell me

[tranquil valley]

exactly would be sick for story reasons alone

YOU DAMN FART RAIDER SMELLA

[nimble canyon]

You know I still think it's fucked up to think about how many copies of our consciousness could be out on Tau Ceti

[vestal parrot]

Exactly. That's why I'm confident they'll add more content later. Like hopefully an auction house or a hideout like Tarkov

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders has trials, this game has ranked

[tranquil valley]

bro wouldn’t be happy about anything this game offers smh

[celest raft]

Arc has Stella, this game has Cryo

[frigid valley]

ah its for balance in an extraction shooter to keep the sweats inline so they cannot just stockpile so much good loot the meaning of losing it is now worthless

[celest raft]

the only difference is that in Arc you wipe when you want when the window is open

the main difference is no reputation stuff

[nimble canyon]

Do you think there's some serious dissociation that the runners have when they come across something that looks like them?

[fossil dagger]

Traxus isn’t a charity group, pay your debt or deal with your consequences

[blissful shoal]

I think that arc is not meant to be sweaty

[celest raft]

you unlock shop buys through quests

[old spruce]

[tranquil valley]

except arc is 3rd person and looks ugly too

[celest raft]

so, similar, btu not

[tranquil valley]

don’t forget that

[blissful shoal]

Marathon clearly is gonna be a sweatfest and im all in for it

[tranquil valley]

(sorry)

[rapid flint]

Now the real question is how many map weather effects are we getting? We've already seen rain and fire rain I wonder if there will be a "lights out" type effect

[old spruce]

then I will have to

[celest raft]

it definitely can be lmfao

[slender whale]

End game to me would be what you are working towards from the beginning. Getting all the BIS so that you can fight a boss or do a raid or a dungeon. Something to that effect

[nimble canyon]

Like if you come across another of the same runner in terms of model, what distinguishes them from you?

[celest raft]

when you see people putting their snap hook mid flight into their safe pocket

as a tech

its sweaty

[brave jewel]

It has the frost debuff which I assume will work similar to the cold snap on arc raiders

[tranquil valley]

okay guys i’ve been looking at this chat for two hours i gotta go for a bit

[primal frigate]

what do you think Cryo Archive is

[tranquil valley]

bye chat

[old spruce]

buh bai

[nimble canyon]

I can't blame them. People who use snap hooks have a horrible tendency to go splat.

[old spruce]

[slender whale]

Idek what that is

[rapid flint]

Byeeeee

[fossil dagger]

Its okay, I got bored of collecting debt in Arc they need new stuff and better fits but personally I like the style a bit

[primal frigate]

its exactly what you described

[blissful shoal]

Yes, but you really have to push it. Imagine what marathon is gonna look like

[brave jewel]

💀

[swift escarp]

Guys do you think Mida owns a K9 squad

[slender whale]

Really? I asked this question the other day and everyone just said to go back in

[vestal parrot]

It's a destiny raid, but much funnier because pvp

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders looks so damned good when there's not some Bungie glazers in your ear yappin about it being UE5 slop

[nimble canyon]

Do you think runners are aware that other versions of themselves are potentially out on Tau Ceti?

[slender whale]

I had no idea

[verbal swallow]

Can confirm

[blissful shoal]

So its a destiny raid that can go bad.

[primal frigate]

idk what to tell you, it says gullible on the ceiling

[slender whale]

That's pretty cool

[swift escarp]

are they explosive???

[pallid elk]

@tranquil valley Bro is offline

[manic lantern]

demo for active matter is up, pvpve extraction game if anyone looking to kill some time until marathon!

[nimble canyon]

Out of all companies, embark actually knows what they're doing with unreal engine. 5.

[rapid flint]

God I hope there are multiple copies of me running around asking people for help with a faction fetch quest lol

[celest raft]

I imagine theyre aware that there are other runners with their same shell

which probably causes some existential crisises

for sure

[verbal swallow]

That’s for you to find out

[fossil dagger]

Yeah but arc also sucks with maintaining server connections and bugs continuously being found

[slender whale]

I dont see it

[split galleon]

it is a good looking game for sure, the 3rd person's not my cup of tea tho

[frigid valley]

i think its really going to be more Dungeon level puzzles at best

Raid level would just not work, imagine trying to do fucking Last wish level mechanics in an extraction shooter

[vestal parrot]

Bad for you maybe. I'm gonna be the one playing Assassin shell and camping extracts to steal people's BiS

[celest raft]

true. True.

[swift escarp]

i think im too stupid to understand your question to fully have an articulated answer :((

[rapid flint]

Isn't there a robot voice changer in marathon?

[celest raft]

Also they need to bring the hammer down on cheaters in Arc

hard

[primal frigate]

😟

[brave jewel]

A part that will be essential to the endgame is also completing your faction quests so when you die (because you will) you can bounce back way quicker

[celest raft]

theyre WAY too gentle

[slender whale]

Lmfaoo

[rapid flint]

I saw a rook use it in a clip I belive

[nimble canyon]

The only reason I ask is because we know that there is footage of runners being given grounding exercises by Oni.

[manic lantern]

they need to create a youtube tutorial for all the other devs

[fossil dagger]

Otherwise I like it too it’s a good game just needs polishing big time

[old spruce]

I genually hope I see less of destiny complaints in the marathon community, im lowkey tired of the milking of doom posting like we get it i know its bad rn

[celest raft]

it makes sense why its third person with how much movement you have

[nimble canyon]

Keep in mind grounding exercises are normally there for those that have some form of PTSD.

[celest raft]

and how you can be attacked at any angle, and you can see your cosmetics 24/7

but fair

[swift escarp]

i think its my business to know when one is about to blow up on me while im trying to find a common but quest related item

[celest raft]

I like fps more too

[slender whale]

Let them cope, they're going through it rn

[visual garnet]

⏳ tic tac..

[old spruce]

I get it tho i quit too, but it can be tiring

[primal frigate]

I think thats before they told us that we (the internet brains) are runners

[nimble canyon]

My guess is being killed over and over again. Kind of is traumatic.

[primal frigate]

so the shells are just shells

[blissful shoal]

Good luck with that. Ima be waiting for rats and spoting them

[celest raft]

The thing is they use a HEAVILY modded fork of UE5

that cuts out a ton of the bloat

so its not even normal UE5 lol

[frigid valley]

Destiny players are going trough withdrawal symptoms from being addicted to an MMO

[verbal swallow]

Hate to break it to ya pal, but that’s MIDA specific intel only

[nimble canyon]

They also didn't enable every fucking feature.

[rapid flint]

Wait the traxis people here to collect money??? I have a NuCaloric burger meal will that suffice?

[slender whale]

Hearing people complain in general is annoying so I get it. If another person brings up anti cheat or stolen art I might chimp out

[celest raft]

devs that can make a game without using DLSS and FSR as a crutch?

in 2026?

someone pinch me

[nimble canyon]

AMAZING RIGHT!?

[brave jewel]

People who are still clinging onto D2 after TFS have a different issue they need to resolve lol

[swift escarp]

im going to start blaming Mida for everything

[old spruce]

It's like the same thing over and over someone who wanted to shed light in the game to be better im even tired of it lol

[nimble canyon]

I would like DLSS and FSR to just go back to catering for people with bad hardware.

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders existing invalidates Randy Pitchford's very existence

I would replace the p with a b but its 1984 in here

[old spruce]

Yeah for sure it needs a lot of things fixed but like it is tiring to hear 24/7 tho

[nimble canyon]

Not being mandatory to run a game when you have fantastic hardware at 60fps plus.

[primal frigate]

DLSS 4.5 is apparently really good

[blissful shoal]

Exactly, it´s over man. We had a great time. Move over

[dusk pasture]

Do we know if using a VPN (NOT to server hop) will be bannable?

[split galleon]

thats how i feel about it too the game's ran its course imo

[old spruce]

Its hard to let go a game u spend half u life on

[celest raft]

FSR doesnt even help in a lot of cases lol

[blazing heron]

Its so insufferable because you see people wanting marathon to fail because of it

[verbal swallow]

Spreading our name only increases our outreach 🫃

[celest raft]

unless you like a blurry ass mess

[frigid valley]

also helps they used LOTS AND LOTS of photogrammetry which is super efficient and looks super good in
rocky landscapes with lots of vegetation

[blazing heron]

And its like, they dont understand Destinys success BINGES off of Marathon succeeding

[old spruce]

It should be hoping it does well so destiny HAS a future

[nimble canyon]

Yep.

[swift escarp]

I get ganked? Mida, i get a shit run? Mida, i get an aracnean screaming “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD AND SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!” Mida.

[blazing heron]

EXACTLYYY, D3 will not happen unless Marathon does well

[old spruce]

Litterly this

[nimble canyon]

At what point did dlss even become mandatory just to get over 60 frames in modern video games anyway?

[old spruce]

And people hoping marathon fails are dumb

[rapid flint]

It'd be cool to have like faction war events go on in maps kinds like warframes invasion missions where you can choose a side to rep for specific item type thing

[primal frigate]

crutch for developers

[nimble canyon]

We shouldn't need upscaling for every fucking video game. It should be able to run natively.

[verbal swallow]

The concord doomers are like really weird abt it

[jovial dew]

Marathon: arena?

[old spruce]

They are tiring

[blazing heron]

If someone says they want Marathon to fail, I just automatically think theyre chronically online

[nimble canyon]

It certainly feels that way.

[fossil dagger]

Yeah but the factions in game are only based on contracts and skill trees i thought

[old spruce]

Ahem most youtubers

[celest raft]

look, for how much some people want to shit on Arc here, Ill say one thing

Bungie isnt the company thats having their CEO act as a chairman for Sony, but Embark's CEO got added to the board of directors for Nexon because of how well they did, meanwhile Sony is threatening to dissolve Bungie into itself if they keep fucking up

so

[old spruce]

cough

[fossil dagger]

So really it would make no sense

[frigid valley]

I just want destiny to take a break its so clear that they dont really know what to do with the universe and story is so fucking bloated that a break and a creative reset is perfect for the series

i can wait rather play a good game then MID game

[celest raft]

think what you will of this

[slender whale]

They just see bright colors and non busty characters and its by default concord lol. It's group think

[brave jewel]

Pretty sure there was a reputable leaker that said it’s already in early development
But yeah marathons success will definitely have to do with D3 actually coming to exist

[celest raft]

but its not happening in a vacuum

[old spruce]

Like if you dont want to play it cool then dont, dont ruin someone elese hype or enjoyment in it

[verbal swallow]

Real

[swift escarp]

while cool in concept that’d be hard to actually implement - think about it, players def have a bias for the team they associate with the most leading to smaller faction number having an unfair chance of winning

[frigid valley]

Brudda theif exists

[blazing heron]

I know them personally, not entirely reputable but still a chance

[nimble canyon]

Do you think if Bungie continues to make mistakes, Sony will actively dissolve the company? I really am worried about that.

[rapid flint]

Yeah what i mean is you rep one faction against another in a mission and you get bonus rep or a unique faction item for that one mission

[celest raft]

it is a dumbass comparison for sure

[celest raft]

oh yeah

10000%

[blazing heron]

I think outside of leaks, youd have to be kinda stupid to not think D3 is in the near future

[fossil dagger]

True

[slender whale]

If you think that things busty bro, idk man

[swift escarp]

unless they reward players proportionate to the damage/progress they make on the other teams

[vestal parrot]

To me tho, this just gives me more faith in Bungie. Pressure creates diamonds and bungie is under a shit load of pressure rn

[fossil dagger]

But thats kinda how it is already

[celest raft]

atp Bungie is becoming dead weight for Sony

[fossil dagger]

So

[old spruce]

Not unless marathon makes money

[blissful shoal]

Copium

[celest raft]

if Marathon flops

[rapid flint]

Fair

[nimble canyon]

I mean they bought Bungie for their live servers game talent.

[swift escarp]

the only way i can see it working is with faction rivalry

[frigid valley]

Biggest scam in gaming

[old spruce]

dont matter it marathon flops people like extractions people will play regardless if it fails

[unborn badger]

I mean I'm sure bungie's pulling their weight already considering the effort on marathon

[split galleon]

studios get thanos-snapped on a whim these days, scarier than ever

[celest raft]

thats also why people shouldnt resent the criticism or even the game getting shit on so much in a lot of ways honestly

[rapid flint]

I guess i just like the thought of specifically choosing a side to reap more benefits

[celest raft]

it put a fire under their ass

[nimble canyon]

So if their live service game that they have spent so much money on fails, I can see that there's only one way this ends for Bungie.

[blazing heron]

Its not cope, its just the most logical way of thinking when it comes to Destiny surviving as a franchise

[celest raft]

Arc Raides as a whole did that

[unborn badger]

and D2's 4 month delay is what we regularly experience when they postpone a DLC anyway it's nothing new

[old spruce]

mostly due to greed and higher up stupid making choices

[nimble canyon]

I sincerely hope Bungie survives.

We've already lost so many studios.

[rapid flint]

Like what if I don't like midas faction stuff? I'd want to lose faction rep with them and put more focus in arachne

[celest raft]

Bungie needs to prove that they can still make products that are as consitently high quality as they did leading up to Destiny 2

[old spruce]

if bungie shuts down im sure someone will buy destiny and marathon

[celest raft]

before they get the trust of the mainstream back

imo

Marathon is a chance to do that

but we'll see

[swift escarp]

Oh dont worry me too - thats a really cool concept that you brought up in my mind - i might think on it more though, i might have a change of answer but dont just see my input, im sure others will also have their own opinions on it

[jovial dew]

problem is that most of the criticism just comes to "they stole all the artstyle off a poor artist" or "it looks like roblox laser tag", not too much for genuinely good criticism like the UI being a bit too cluttered and the like

[celest raft]

im sure they' have to have worked their ass off

[primal frigate]

why do you want to lose rep, you can just do contracts for the faction you want

[unborn badger]

you stand to gain (get exploited) from every faction anyway

[nimble canyon]

I'm surprised bioware is still around.

[celest raft]

the former is a valid complaint tho??????

[jovial dew]

but stil, we will get a better way to form our own opinions this server slam

[nimble canyon]

I'm hoping that studio doesn't die as well

[celest raft]

especially when Bungie has a pattern in their history of stealing art

[nimble canyon]

I would hate to see the complete end of the Mass effect series in every aspect.

[celest raft]

and just being dishonest

[nimble canyon]

I know Andromeda was bad in many ways but still.

[slender whale]

I di hate how blocky and smooth everything is, but its not a deal breaker for me when the gameplay looks fun af

[devout cedar]

I mean a dope aesthetic and a shooter that isn't gritty war bullshit is 70% of my intrigue. Also I've never played an extraction shooter but the idea of playing a multiplayer game that encourages strategy and fear of death sounds thrilling.

[nimble canyon]

And Anthem had many issues.

I still don't think the studio deserves to die

[rapid flint]

All just hyperbole chat but I'm just saying i thing a system would be cool to say "F you" to one faction to get better rep with another

[unborn badger]

which was fully solved already so idk why we're complaining

[rapid flint]

Like warframes syndicate system but with more tweaks

[celest raft]

it was, yes, but the damage is done, that's not how PR works.

you can't just un-scandal your game

[old spruce]

Anyway lets hope Marathon does well if it does it does, if it it dont it dont hope people play regardless if it loses players at launch

[jovial dew]

It was a dev during the alpha which placed a single decal in this case, and they already paid, people like to think it was a all the artstyle which is wrong

[devout cedar]

I haven't played a shooter in a long time tho. But I was big into halo and half life 2 back in my teens.

[unborn badger]

narratively wouldn't make sense either we're only mercs for hire lol

[primal frigate]

are we doing art theft again

[worn gulch]

i dont get why people hate the game ngl

[celest raft]

way more than a single decal

[slender whale]

Think battle royale but you keep the stuff you loot and can make a load out like cod before going in

[nimble canyon]

I wonder how many more years respawn entertainment has.

[celest raft]

and the whole art team followed this artist

[frigid valley]

you know some of the other examples were not bungie themselves but companies contracted out to make destiny related things

[rapid flint]

Fair enough lol

[celest raft]

leading up to the theft

[celest raft]

thats not what most people are reading tho

[nimble canyon]

The money regarding Apex is starting to dry up.

[celest raft]

or care about

so

[slender whale]

Titanfall 3 RIP bro

Was so hyoe for that

[frigid valley]

well all those devs left to go an make Highgaurd

[nimble canyon]

Still makes me sad.

[primal frigate]

im gonna go play something ig, art shit every day

[celest raft]

play Echo Point Nova

and Void Breaker

[split galleon]

every genre is so saturated and the zeitgeist moves on so quickly, you have to make the perfect moves after launch to retain players

[celest raft]

to fill the hole in your soul

[slender whale]

What are these things

[nimble canyon]

I still can't believe all those devs that were wanting to make Titanfall 3 and they weren't able to fucked off and made highguard

[unborn badger]

and why pander to the willingly illiterate that pushes their own agenda in a world where shitty algos pay said shitty people

[slender whale]

Triple A quality like titanfall?

[old spruce]

highguard LMAO

[jovial dew]

i guess you got proof under that claim if that's the case, because most of the actual one i have seen is a single decal during alpha and the artist publicly stating that she got paid

[slender whale]

Or is it some jank crap

[rapid flint]

Yet here we all are on a discord server for the game lol

[unborn badger]

you're here and it's enough, means you care enough to stay and invest in the game's development

[celest raft]

because a lot of thsoe individuals make up the audience you're trying to sell it to

[celest raft]

I meant TF3

[nimble canyon]

Is it better to fill the hole in your soul or secure your soul?

[slender whale]

I looked them up, both jank crappie sadly

[celest raft]

Echo Point Nova is literally like Titanfall

but no mechs

[split galleon]

idk but you do have to pay the troll toll

[celest raft]

and you have a hoverboard

you can do tricks n shi

[brave jewel]

Well obviously
But who knows if that’ll be for better or worse
We are yet to see how Truman’s leadership will be under marathon/D2 going forward

[unborn badger]

not really?

[mental belfry]

the average gamer doesn't go on twitter to hate everything ever

[rapid flint]

Johnny Silverhand has entered the chat

[celest raft]

youd be surprised...

[frigid valley]

you know whats funny the staff at wildlight didnt wanna keep making sci-fi shooters

so they made highgaurd scfi fanatsy and god they did not do it well

[nimble canyon]

I'm just going to continue playing the game from 2016 called Titanfall 2. I don't care that people tell me it's old.

[old spruce]

dude I have been playing cyberpunk over and over so fun its amazing rn with mods

[weary spruce]

you wouldnt be able to tell with how loud the minority is

[cedar glacier]

just a few days left until the open beta. i'm so excited. i've got high hopes

[unborn badger]

lotta people that got turned off from marathon already don't engage with bungie products anyway they're only here to grift on drama lol

[celest raft]

honestly I think a lot of this was Jeff's fault tbf

[mental belfry]

if you look online, things look super hopeless but most ppl don't pay attention

[jovial dew]

nah, he's right, look at helldivers 2

[unborn badger]

in what universe would that be a viable audience

[mental belfry]

this is true yes

[celest raft]

I think Highguard wouldn't have been close to as hated as it was if it werent for the GOTY shit

[nimble canyon]

A lot of older games are significantly better than some of the new shit we have these days.

[jovial dew]

from the usual 50k to 200k, only 10k tops are the dudes complaining on media

[slender whale]

What even is highguard

[nimble canyon]

I stand by that.

[slender whale]

Its like an overwatch clone?

[cedar glacier]

Lowguard.

[next stag]

Yall seen the Arc Raiders “new arcs”? 💀

[mental belfry]

best game ever made

[frigid valley]

i mean jeff was passionate about the game but the game was destined to fail anyway jeff just expidited the progress

[old spruce]

DeadGuard

[celest raft]

It wanted to be a mix of Overwatch, R6, and Valorant lol

[nimble canyon]

I had someone genuinely tell me that Titanfall 2 is old so I should stop playing it because it's dead.

[brave jewel]

@copper dove

[split galleon]

i still play an obscure warcraft 3 mod religiously

[mental belfry]

jeff was definitely paid off by tencent

[rapid flint]

I've done about 4 full playthroughs now. I absolutely love that game. It's a comfort game for me. Funny enough one of the lead quest/designers for season of the deep in d2 is working on the next cyberpunk game at cdpr!

[slender whale]

Cancer, aids, hepatitis

[nimble canyon]

1800 players isn't dead.

[celest raft]

it wasnt even the worst game ever in terms of gameplay its just a nothingburger

[frigid valley]

ive heard rumors about that

[viral junco]

3 nights and 2 days till marathon

[round oracle]

there was interest, it just didn't run well. It was blurry and dropped below 60 when anything happened on screen, the gameplay loop is fun but technical issues didn't give it a chance

[celest raft]

nothing meshed

nothing made any sense

[tidal linden]

It was the spectacle of literally everyone having the same opinion that made it so hated.

[celest raft]

it was just generic for generic's sake

[celest raft]

it snowballed yeah

[celest raft]

this too

[old spruce]

dude the atmosphere is lit, you can play any style you want the weapon mods and cyberware builds are dope too the rain in it so relaxing with ray tracing

[celest raft]

optimization was assssss

[nimble canyon]

It kept maxing out. My 4070 TI super running out of vram then crashing the game

[celest raft]

naw naw

[tranquil valley]

For example, Recon is the information Shell that you'll need to make sure you're not going to get jumped by another crew. Conversely there's Assassin, for those who are about hiding themselves from opposing threats. Triage is about staying in the fight and almost bolstering your Med economy. As you can see, each shell has a very clearly defined role that we hope players will attach to. For launch we're really painting with broad strokes, but as the game develops throughout the seasons you'll see us add new runners to support more playstyles, and also take new approaches to existing roles.

[slender whale]

So it became a meme and everyine just started dunking on it collectively?

[celest raft]

yall know what game im pissed about dying?

fucking Marauders

that game couldve RULED

[civic ruin]

hello

[slender whale]

I seen a few vids on it and it doesn't look like the worst thing ever

[nimble canyon]

That was a classic act of absolute mismanagement.

[celest raft]

they had one of the coolest shooter concepts in years and fumbled it

so

hard

[frigid valley]

highgaurd litreally looks like an example of

The game must be as fair as possible being the most balanced as possible without thinking

what would be more fun

[rapid flint]

I really try new builds but I always go back to throwing knives, pistols, stealth, and hacking lol

[tidal linden]

It didn’t seem to be interesting enough for anyone to accommodate the uninspired art style and silly premise of automatic firearms and swords on horseback.

[unborn badger]

highguard was just sad lol

[slender whale]

I wantes to get that game it looked so cool, but its dead af

[celest raft]

it was off to a good start too :[

[unborn badger]

next to no advertising and the aesthetic was just artstation frontpage

[split galleon]

the 3v3 was a horrible decision

[celest raft]

it was like a perfect Tarkov-lite

[old spruce]

same, I like to troll npcs who try to chase me with the chaos mods, i like to stop there cars make them go fast use there own turrets and blow them up lol

[celest raft]

the dogfight mechanics couldve been really really cool too

there was so much potential

[spark crystal]

At least it wasnt a rugpull like Ashes of Creation

[unborn badger]

I might play it eventually but well

[celest raft]

and it all just got squandered

[slender whale]

Idk if you guys saw that new eve game they're making that's an extraction shooter

[coral karma]

I would like to see a sequel to outriders but i know that won't happen.

[slender whale]

It looks a lot like marsthin but more dark and grounded

[nimble canyon]

Sometimes I think back to the cycle and I realize it was something I missed

[rapid flint]

Slopguard was a test to see if people could be entertained and milked for money for the least amount of effort possible for a live service game imo

[trim scaffold]

my most infuriating fps goodwill throw is splitgate, such a great feeling game and they had to ruin it with a cringy publicity stunt

[round oracle]

do you have a intel cpu? these out of vram errors in UE5 games are related to the cpu defects that intel had. Your gpu has more vram than mine and it just run poorly for me, no errors

[pallid elk]

Gay

[split galleon]

yea i lost like $75 to that 🙁

[nimble canyon]

That's the weird thing my CPU is AMD.

[jovial dew]

that was Suicide squad twin

[frigid valley]

imagine highgaurd

but you make it
8v8
instead of mounts you have some vehicles
like a tank/pickup with gun on it or flying thing

get rid of the economy and looting

[rapid flint]

Vehicle quick hacking is so fun. Also being able to now change the color of cars and stuff? PEAK

[old spruce]

Slopguards needs to be studied

[frigid valley]

that sounds like fun to me

[slender whale]

Eve vanguard its called. Looks amazing

[nimble canyon]

Oh God suicide squad kill an entire franchise

[old spruce]

feels like an agent

phantom liberty dlc is fire

[nimble canyon]

I will not forgive what they did to Batman.

[tidal linden]

It was just ArtStation Front Page Game. With clashing time period expectations. While it may not have been nearly as bad as everyone pretended it was, it still didn’t lend itself to being taken seriously.

[celest raft]

chat if you had to play one for 10 hours straight and you couldn't leave the room, are you picking Concord or Highguard

[nimble canyon]

The story of songbird will make me cry every time

[slender whale]

Highguard def

[old spruce]

dude that one chase scene...

[rapid flint]

Oh dude yes. Solomon Reed/Idris Elba my goat

[old spruce]

scared me

fr

[jovial dew]

i love the suicide squad concept but legit there is 0 good media around them at this point asides drom the 2020~ movie 😭

[trim scaffold]

death

[tidal linden]

Highguard, actually.

[spark crystal]

I was excited for it, EVE online in a non space format. Been waiting for an MMO to capture my attention again, guess I am sticking with survival and shooters for a while

[weary spruce]

is suicide squad the game where they killed batman ?

[nimble canyon]

Honestly it was nightmare fuel because it made me think I was playing alien fucking isolation.

[rapid flint]

You can't make me hate the NUSA more than I already do in cyberpunk lol

[frigid valley]

highgaurd actually has good gunplay

[nimble canyon]

That robot was horrifying.

[old spruce]

litterly the ai was so smart the voices gave me chills

[jovial dew]

the name is "kill the justice league" so uhhh, yea

[celest raft]

Concord shelling out for a full length Secret Level episode and not just a short, only for that episode to air by the time the game was dead

is so fucking funny

[mental belfry]

concord because it's just boring. highguard actually sucks so much ass

[trim scaffold]

you know whats a good chase scene in a video game? bear chase, condemned 2 bloodshot

[nimble canyon]

I mean he was part of the Justice League

[slender whale]

Peak af btw

[nimble canyon]

So yes.

[weary spruce]

couldnt remember fr\

[celest raft]

at least it ran ok I guess

[rapid flint]

Also Idris Elba is a DJ in real life so he made his own music for the dlc... I have his song on my spotify from it lol

[nimble canyon]

It's okay. The game was incredibly forgettable and dead.

[split galleon]

im always looking for a new viable MMO to get into, i still binge OSRS every once in awhile

[frigid valley]

highgaurd is just mid

[weary spruce]

didnt mind that game actually but the loop became boring immediately

[celest raft]

Concord feels like a pandora's box we can't unopen to me now ngl

[nimble canyon]

You have to kill brainiac another 150 times. Have fun

[real sable]

My boy dropped $100 on that game smh

[celest raft]

every game that people dislike will be called Concord 3

it happened to Arc

[old spruce]

i like the conecpt idea but its just poorly made

[nimble canyon]

Shoot me.

[celest raft]

its happening to Marathon

[weary spruce]

yeah exactly

[celest raft]

it will continue to happen

[old spruce]

no it wont?

[slender whale]

Studios been trying to compete with overwatch since it came out and not a single one succeeded until marvel rivals popped up

[jovial dew]

same, the campaign was fine, idk what they were really thinking on everything else tho

[rapid flint]

Yall in this server talking about dead games and stuff when we should all be talking about what squad comps we are all running in marathon

[real sable]

We beat it not only once but three times smh

[nimble canyon]

It's funny the OverWatch does so many things wrong and yet other competitors can't beat it.

[celest raft]

you mean what 2 other ops besides Triage we'll choose right

[frigid valley]

I DO AS WELL sounds like a custom mode from halo reach

[kind sentinel]

DESTROYER X3

[tidal linden]

I know people who did really fantastic work on Concord. They poured their hearts into it for years, only for it to flop hard. Feels really bad. I don’t know Dan Kenton personally, but his artwork for that game was incredible. Such a shame that the game’s overall style had no surface tension. :(

[dreamy warren]

Marston

[old spruce]

yeah that

[celest raft]

oh can you lock multiple of one shell in one squad???

[rapid flint]

Truuuuuuuuue!

[dreamy warren]

Maybe they should've poured someone else's heart into it

[slender whale]

Cus nobody tried to do anything different they just take the same formula 1 to 1

[celest raft]

sharing consumables is actually broken ngl

imo

[nimble canyon]

From what I understand, there's no limits on what people can play

[frigid valley]

yeah because overwatch has charecters people actually want to play

leave it to blizzard to get me invested in a god damn gorilla we call winton

[celest raft]

like that might need to be toned down

[blissful shoal]

What runner you are gonna main?

[weary spruce]

yeah thats how i feel bout it too

[rapid flint]

Assassin and triage!

[slender whale]

Or they try something different and its just different for the sake of being different and not actually unique and cool

[tidal linden]

You could at least have a modicum of respect.

[blissful shoal]

I haven´t decided yet

[celest raft]

oh god

3 stack of Triages all sharing consumables

imagine

thats gonna be fucked

[vagrant walrus]

3 more days boys

[rapid flint]

I'm always a support main in games but I'm also a hunter in destiny so I gotta scratch both of those itches lol

[blissful shoal]

Damn

[split galleon]

has that been shown in gameplay? multiple of the same shell?

[nimble canyon]

At what point is it okay to go to bed early and not fuck up my sleep schedule the next day because it's 7:00 pm right now and god am I tried.

[celest raft]

trios meta is cooked

[blissful shoal]

I wanna play destroyer but probably gonna end up Triage because of my party sucking ass

[round oracle]

what overwatch does wrong? i play both more than a sane person should and i fell rivals is a much more flawed game

[slender whale]

Tough it out until your scheduled time

You got this

[nimble canyon]

Because in all honesty, I woke up at 3:00 a.m. And I've been awake since then.

[rapid flint]

Wait 2 ½-3 more hours you'll be right as rain when you wake up

[frigid valley]

someone should of told them that the heros they were designing were not going to be well liked

[blissful shoal]

9-10pm is fine

[weary spruce]

like 9 or 10 maybe

[dreamy warren]

🤷‍♂️

[slender whale]

That's my normal wake up time

[tidal linden]

I’m not enthused by the idea of Marathon being a hero shooter. I’m tired of that. But I’m optimistic about the gunplay.

[nimble canyon]

It's going to be hard waiting till 9 pm. Lmao

[slender whale]

Asleep by 10, up by 3

[blissful shoal]

It´s not a hero shooter in the sense of overwatch. Its more like apex

[weary spruce]

starting the day at 3am feels like im entering the twilight zone

[celest raft]

I say this in a tough love sort of way but they did not showcase that art in marketing/promotional material if youre being legitimite

[nimble canyon]

I'm so fucking tired. My sleep schedule is ruined which is no surprise because that's how it often is

[jovial dew]

i think its more like a class shooter rather than a hero with unmodifiable skills/items

[celest raft]

all I ever saw of Concord personally was a Guardians of the Galaxy spin off reject

[pallid elk]

Wait, when is the game coming out again?

[blissful shoal]

We all have the same "hitbox", strafing speed, etc. It´s goona be like tactitcal skills

[rapid flint]

Thankfully less hero shooter vibes and more abilities lead to gun fights. When I played the closed playtest it felt more like apex mixed with destiny (obviously) not marvel rivals or OW or valorant

[dreamy warren]

So sleep

[kind sentinel]

march 5th, beta starts on thursday

[celest raft]

also hero shooters are just tired

[slender whale]

It's less a hero shooter and more of an fps with hero shooter elements

[nimble canyon]

Can't sleep now. Will wake up at some absurd time in the morning

[celest raft]

we need to move on from hero shooters for society to progress

[weary spruce]

tough it out for a couple more hours and itll equalize from my experience

[tidal linden]

Should *have. Not “of.” And, yeah, the game had issues, I’m not denying that. But I don’t think it’s really worth making fun of the team for the failure.

[swift escarp]

as they said, if we were to play against a faction and not for them - i feel like in a way we’d get banned from working for that faction for that season another way that i feel like it COULD work, but there are def more valuable factions out there

[tidal linden]

Did I say otherwise?

[nimble canyon]

Thanks for the advice. I'm just going to try to keep going till like 8 or 9 pm.

[rapid flint]

Abilities help aid you more than help lend kills too much. You can crap on bungie for a lot of things but they know how to design abilities around pvp... most of the time (let's not talk about stasis)

[weary spruce]

gl

[slender whale]

Think black ops 4 or delta force, there are unique classes and abilities. But its a first person shooter first and foremost

[rapid flint]

I like that take

[jovial dew]

Strand

shiver me timber

[rapid flint]

Ill take strand over pvp stasis titan pre nerf anyday

[swift escarp]

the only reason i feel like syndicates work in warframe because we’re helping with an ideology not a massive corporation

[rancid dock]

How can I download beta version of this game?

[tidal linden]

What, do you think I’m messing with you? The hard surface work was great, at least.

[round oracle]

i played a lot of concord while it was available, it was a flawed game for sure (i still can't believe that they launched a fps game where characters have different moving speeds) but didn't deserve the hate it got

[celest raft]

where

im not saying no effort was put forth

[spark crystal]

Is there anywhere to get more indepth info on "classes" and factions? I was late to the Marathon party and am hoping to catch up on knowledge before Thursday

[rapid flint]

Wait the corpos... aren't our friends?

[celest raft]

but im saying that you can put effort into something that the general public doesn't desire

[jovial dew]

agreed, it's just that strand is not too fun to play around nowadays

[frigid valley]

Im not making fun of the team when i say
your designs are not going to appeal to the market
I hated that at uni when no one ever says whats bad about things your creating

[slender whale]

It comes out thursday, you will see it on whatever storefront you use

[split galleon]

well hero shooter is an umbrella term, apex is not a hero shooter the same way overwatch is, and overwatch-type hero shooter is typically what people have disdain for

[tidal linden]

Mmm… no. Tacticals and ults that stay the same per character? That’s a hero. You’re coping hard.

[frigid valley]

Telling me everything lloks great tells me nothing

[regal wing]

Please let the security and anti cheat be tons better than Arc's. I'm so disgusted of that

[rapid flint]

Fair. It's become very annoying to have to play around

[celest raft]

as a game dev its easy to get tunnel vision or enter an echo chamber where you're convinced that your game is the next big thing stylistically or otherwise

[swift escarp]

Bingus is

[celest raft]

and then it comes out

and yeah

[prime siren]

Hoping that bungie starts running marathon advertising online, aside from their own social media they aren't projecting the game :(
