[strong temple]

It might occur earlier but the best drop rates happen at 100 and at some early levels it doesn't drop at all

[stable lark]

The thing I saw said 75 is the minimum

[unreal jungle]

typical discord camper just actually bad at the game

[wanton ibex]

A couple of big Marathon streamers called out the rampant cheating in ranks particularly. Aztecross made a whole video about it pleading for Bungie to step in and he's essentially done with the game for now

[halcyon mulch]

levels actually determines the grade of loot you can get too. You're more likely to find blue and purples past level 40-50 iirc.

[onyx kraken]

Whatever, this "discussion" isn't worth the ATP I'm using to power my brain to cook up these zingers, I guess I'll have my second block of the night

[gritty lichen]

Just outplay them gang

[compact ivy]

Just gotta throw enough of them at the wall lmao. This was almost the most insane comeup.

I'm gonna file that under "[citation needed]"

[plush kestrel]

I can't believe it's all gone

[viral elm]

Anyone also hoarding keys? im at 62 keys and surely not stuggling with space bec. of it

[pulsar storm]

fwiw, the first one seemingly got kicked

[low palm]

we need clips and there actual cheats displayed to appease all the hacking defenders in here bbro. they are defending so hard

[void bane]

ive had the opinion for a week the game has no matchmaking and if you need to get money its beyond hard because every single person has a purple shield shotgun and you have nothing

[vivid quest]

shield based matchmaking would be interesting

[onyx kraken]

lmao really? yeah ragebaiting and calling people shit like that for no reason seems to get you kicked

[half socket]

LOL

[smoky dome]

Report suspected cheaters using the in-game systems, or report them on the website. Discussing whether or not someone might have been a cheater in the discord doesn't alert Bungie to the possibility that someone was cheating.

[pallid halo]

can just search "marathon cheats" on youtube and take a look

[unreal jungle]

go invis camp corner run to melee yea your dog shitt

[stark current]

See all you’ve done now is resort to just being a cry baby at this point

You can’t go with he says she said on cheater accusations and expect people to just believe you without even having video of it. That “trust me bro I know what cheating is” is fine and dandy but no one gives af till you got proof

And imagine calling us defenders of cheaters just cause your lazy ass can’t record it :p

[void bane]

just any sort of matchmaking i shouldnt equipd a free kit necause im trying to get money and run into people sweating off with mid maxed kits

[viral elm]

Leave matchmaking completely open skillissue if not change my mind

[alpine crown]

10000 days is a good album

[compact ivy]

Hell no. I want the opportunity to come in with a free kit and kill purple shields

[tropic sierra]

Patch notes from 2-3 weeks ago. It’s in there

[worthy swan]

I’m only allowed to have 2 capris suns a day tho

[onyx kraken]

fuck the rules. drink 3

[vivid quest]

have fun getting mowed down by the unwashed cretins man

[wanton ibex]

Nah bro it's always a skill issue. Some people here and on Reddit are unhinged. You've got one of the biggest Marathon streamers who just begged Bungie to fix it and he's done with the game for now. He was the games biggest hype man.

What makes this all the more embarrassing is the day before release Bungie made a whole ass post about how there will be zero tolerance for cheating and praised their anti cheat system

[void bane]

lmao even

[tiny dust]

guys i have a genuine problem with this games community

[plush kestrel]

You are absolutely right

[gritty lichen]

I know it’s not the same as a free kit but now I mostly play fill outpost with a blue kit and get free kit teammates 90% of the time. I kill full purple squads this way more than half the time and it’s just a really fun way to play

[onyx kraken]

I want the other teams to hear me coming from the next POI over because my stomach is so full of gatorade and caffinated seltzer the sloshing is audible 200m out

[worthy swan]

So does the game

[tiny dust]

why are people running green or lower shields in ranked and then complain when they get cooked ????

[low palm]

whatever dude, there is a massive cheating problem atm and its common knowledge at this point. you can defend all day idgaf

[stark current]

So does weenie hut juniors

[alpine crown]

Low-key as an adult, I gotta make sure I don't go overboard on my daily 2 limit capris suns

[reef summit]

There's a reason these clips don't exist, you know

[plush kestrel]

How could you sense I was a TOOL fan?

[void bane]

legit what it is 90% of the time they see grey shield and just full sprint you just to get a single wstr shot out

[halcyon mulch]

yeah it's part of the extract shooter experience really. In Tarkov and Hunt it could get even worse, when you're fully broke in Tarkov you're out defending yourself with a hatchet, and in Hunt you'd end up fighting guys with full auto rifles using a sawed off single barrel shotgun lmao. I do think some form of gear based matchmaking would do a lot of good for the game but we gotta wait for updates on the next patch for that one.

[fathom pulsar]

[compact ivy]

#📽️run-clips message

I'm doing just fine killing everybody honestly lmao

[wanton ibex]

Bro this is how it is for games with a low player amount. A lot of the people who play it will find any criticism as a personal attack on their mother.

[alpine crown]

Your bio is the lyrics to Vicarious which is one of my favorite songs by them

[onyx kraken]

honestly Vandal has got that SHIT ON

[worthy swan]

that dude was doing this before the game even came out

[fathom pulsar]

#1 drip on TCIV

[vivid quest]

I am too, but I'd rather not gun down white shields every time I queue into Darsh with a blue shield, and a bully

[plush kestrel]

Oh yeaaahh... Forgot I put that there... One of my favorite TOOL riffs to play on guitar actually

[wanton ibex]

Yeah and you've obviously got the other side of it. The people whose only joy in life are player counts and watching dev studios get shut down

[compact ivy]

You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?

[vivid quest]

I want to shoot people who, y'know, last a bit longer than a few seconds?

[halcyon mulch]

"every runner I downed is an idiot and ever runner who downed me is a cheater"

[plush kestrel]

@alpine crown I actually made my own 3 hour custom mixed TOOL music video

[viral elm]

How are people defending the cheaters in ranked wtf

[bleak zodiac]

Just picked up a grey hardline PR and 5 depleted shield kits. Sweating bullets rn while extracting

[vivid quest]

I don't feel like wanting to have some modicum of challenge is a controversial take

[worthy swan]

they’re not, just pretending they don’t exist

[final peak]

"""Cheaters""" don't exist in any significant number in any game.

[onyx kraken]

I will never touch ranked and it makes me smile just thinking about that

[viral elm]

Go play ranked then what

[reef summit]

There's no "defending", just people asking for proof. And somehow we still don't have proof.

[pulsar storm]

I think everyone will acknowledge there are some cheaters, but people keep showing up here complaining about cheating and the footage clearly shows they died to regular gameplay

[smoky dome]

Moving on

[void bane]

yeah some gear based matchmaking because it is satisfying to beat someone whos kitted while your on a free kit but EVERY single game i engage with anyone they full sprint purple shields wstr me its getting so old and exhausting not one game has been different

[still crown]

god run

[halcyon mulch]

Vandal flexes they yeezys everytime they powerslide.

[versed mirage]

i think therte not cheater...maybe u guys have skill issue...

[alpine crown]

Based, also 3 hours??

[onyx kraken]

I saw a guy who somehow got the depleted shield charges out

[reef marsh]

there's plenty of it on streams of ranked players bro

u just wanna pretend it's not a real problem or just cant function without hand holding ig

[viral elm]

"no proof" there is enough funny clips that are obv.

[vivid quest]

I don't have the patience for ranked, and my friends have a bit of water on the brain, if you catch my drift

[void bane]

i didnt clip it but one run i was camping a corner as rook my gun wasnt showing through anything this guy full sprints around another area and pre fires a mag into the wall im behind

[reef summit]

Then why aren't people posting the clips? People were recently in this chat, not even 5 minutes ago, saying "we need the clips!". Where are they?

[wanton ibex]

https://youtu.be/Gtbie7iPm4U?si=hA9aRsfF0loA-j88

This is the biggest Marathon streamer begging Bungie to fix the cheating problem, with proof, and stepping away from the game

[onyx kraken]

dying on perimiter

[vivid quest]

Their father was a coral, and their mother is a sponge

[pulsar storm]

okay? report them

[serene basalt]

they deliberate die on after a certain amount of games so the anti cheat dont pick them up seemingly

[plush kestrel]

Yep. So far it includes Undertow, Ænima, some songs off the revival tour including Kalamazoo and Salival, as well as Merkaba. Almost every song used is my personal favorite version of it, be it the album version, a rare demo, or a live performance

[onyx kraken]

Coral mentioned?

Looks like the guest of honor's here. Hey, buddy.

[reef topaz]

starting the video with an ad is a choice

[void bane]

i mean like why is everyone in here such a passive aggressive dh

[halcyon mulch]

There are some talks of an inventory wipe happening at the end of the season which could probably alleviate the issue of too many people being overgeared. my best advice against purple shields atm is just stocking up with a fuckton amount of grenades and just drop it in their general direction. Goes through Destroyer shields too.

[vivid quest]

regardless, i want more of a challenge, and I feel bad killing white shields

[reef marsh]

people are posting clips. go check out any ranked streamer brother

it's not my responsibility to hand hold u through the research process

but again, that's why this seems to be a reoccuring problem. u wanna just ego this because no one is willing to do the work for u

weird of u to have such a strong demanding stance without any experience on the issue urself.

[onyx kraken]

100% inventory is getting wiped lol

[stable lark]

Seasonal wipes are a confirmed feature of the game, yes

[plush kestrel]

Are faction upgrades getting reset after the season ends? If so that kinda sucks

[pulsar storm]

I acknowledged there's cheating and you said 'someone cheated', so cool...the only recourse is to report them

[hot trout]

apparently you're only allowed to submit clips to bungies website, but after watching the Tarkov wiggle video I'm convinced 60% of the people saying theres no cheaters are cheaters. It also would make sense considering everyone has moved on from the SteamDB charts campaign and they need a new way to hurt the playerbase. For why, I'm unsure, I still feel there some weird under the table thing going on with this but idk

[onyx kraken]

Wait destroyer shield offers no protection from throwables?

[alpine crown]

I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Lateralus", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of spiraling out, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

[wanton ibex]

You're not going to convince him. We live in a world of extremes. Everything is "pick a side and defend it no matter what." In all walks of life including games

[vivid quest]

Biotoxic also needs to be disabled until they can figure out what the fuck they want to do with it

[stable lark]

Each season has brand new upgrade trees.

[tropic sierra]

Was the 35% nerf not enough? That’s an insane number

[reef summit]

Nice of you to imagine I don't play the game, but go off. Also very funny how people are still to provide anything bar a sob story of a streamer

[reef marsh]

i know, but i dont mind calling out the ego behavior.

[plush kestrel]

Now here's a fella that knows ball

[onyx kraken]

They should let you dual wield it

[halcyon mulch]

nope. it touches the hitbox on their feet. Same goes for Vandal's arm cannon, if you shoot it at their feet it bypasses the shield entirely lmao

[vivid quest]

Grenades still shred shields

[viral elm]

Dude this chat is so full of people either ragebaiting or being really stupid lmao perfect content

[plush kestrel]

But do you lose your upgrades you got previously?

[elfin breach]

They should let you dual wield double barrels as it was allowed in the original games….

[alpine crown]

That's pretty amazing! Have you heard A Perfect Circle? Iirc it was the lead singers other band, pretty neat stuff. I love 13th Step

[wanton ibex]

Watching the community start shit talking Aztecross because of his video when he's been the biggest fan of this game is hilarious too. He's pretty much done with ranked because of it.

Honestly what makes this problem worse is how Bungie hyped up their anti cheat and made a whole ass post about zero tolerance for cheating.

[hot trout]

But if you post a clip of a cheater in run clips it will be deleted or something idk what we should be doing

[halcyon mulch]

inb4 Rook spawns dual wielding 2 wstrs as next season's arachne upgrade lmao.

[reef marsh]

nah u clearly dont have any experience in ranked. it's always unranked players with zero hours in the ranked queue, arguing that cheating isn't real just because they bought into bungie talking big about perma banning the behavior.

when a collective ranked community is posting evidence and bringing the topic up, it's not fake.

but u do u ig. enjoy trying to ego and pretending ur world is reality ig

[alpine crown]

I just couldn't pass on the American psycho reference xd

[long oasis]

my greed got the best of me on outpost and i ran out of time 🥲

[void bane]

i actually might rather go back to ow

[viral elm]

He played ranked today for like hours lmao

[carmine gulch]

servers down ?

[final peak]

No clips = bullshit

[vivid quest]

don't say that

[onyx kraken]

Yeah a guy was hacking in my lobby and he forced me to come to the discord and complain, it's honestly a crazy hack. I have no control of my body rn I'm just upvoting all the "Marathon is FUCKING DEAD" videos help I can't stop

[livid marten]

lobby just crashed 3 times awesome

[plush kestrel]

Yeah, I've heard a bit of APC, although I've also been getting really into Puscifer lately. Their new album is fire

[wanton ibex]

Yeah and he made the video today

[granite patrol]

Just got a Gold BRRT mod during a Rook run from looting a purple commander someone left unlooted after doing a secured resource container in Maintenance lmfao

[void bane]

i miss playing tracer

[serene basalt]

i think that the knife should not be neffed but it cant damage above a green shield, once your shields gone the it can still one tap u

[final moat]

whats even the knife combo? double heavy or actually do 2 light 1 heavy

[final peak]

Actually, accepting the opinion of any streamer is an instant loss of any and all respect.

[viral elm]

after posting the vid pretty sure

[hot trout]

you are garunteed a cheater in over 50% of all matches in Tarkov, period

[red prawn]

You need a matter fixative and you can exfil depleted and compromised gear

[alpine crown]

🫃 is OW's hero update actually refreshing or was that just hype?

[rotund halo]

did the servers just take a shit?

[vivid quest]

and I miss Y1 Bastion, but I refuse to go back

[reef marsh]

i can understand them being silent, as comms on it is pretty much telling cheaters to scurry away and hide.

but yeah, it's just a shame that people will ego and be toxic about cheating not existing. it's very strange behavior tbh.

like cool, u dont see it. but dont actually talk down to people who are experiencing it in the ranked queue and actively voicing criticism about it

just weird behavior tbh

[onyx kraken]

Unless it's Datto. Then your Opinion Has Arrived

[thorn juniper]

Anyone else DC?

[arctic narwhal]

can people lag servers atm? someone was telling people to shut up on prox chat, then all of a sudden everyone d/c and when I come back they pushing

[halcyon mulch]

csgo strat of light, light, heavy

[plush kestrel]

What do you guys reckon Sentinel's shell abilities will be?

[wanton ibex]

It's not an opinion. It is a literal fact that ranked is filled with cheaters and the small player pool makes the issue worse

[final peak]

"Some guy on the internet said it so it MUST be true."

[void bane]

was that a server problem the lol

[hot trout]

u are dense

[pulsar storm]

this is correct

[plush kestrel]

I'm hoping for something really unique

[vivid quest]

Every game sucks now

[compact ivy]

Lateralus is incredible, especially with the whole fibonacci cadence and everything. Truly an amazing song and almbum. Perosnally Opiate, stinkfist, and undertow are all of my feels, but they have a pretty impressive range imo

[viral elm]

If you dont run into cheaters in ranked you might wanna check out any rank above silver, enjoy!

[plush kestrel]

Valid crashout

[onyx kraken]

Hello everyone, Datto here. Today, I will be walking you through the Ragebaiting on the Marathon Discord encounter in the new raid. It's a tough one, but by following this guide, you can successfully salve your wounds over losing all your best shit to a guy who outplayed you.

Royalty free music start

Team composition for this fight will be -

[reef marsh]

again, unranked players talking about a ranked queue

brothers, i spent one hour in bronze and found 2 aimbotting hipfiring longshot cheaters running down the lobby.

u dont need to be a rocket scientist or an elite esports gamer to experience it urself

or hell, idk, watch an hour of a streamer getting 10 matches of aimbotting and wallhacking cheaters chasing people down.

it's very obvious lmfao

[mystic estuary]

bro i think my server lagged while i was about to pop a anitvirus in a lockdown and my team got wiped by bot wtf

[rotund halo]

yeah wtf just happened to the servers?

[dark jacinth]

the servers took a poop

[alpine crown]

Holy shit I forgot Puscifer exists... Next you'll tell me you're into Jeff Mangum and older radio head albums
Reminds me of an old friend

[plush kestrel]

You know if you play the Lustmord remix of Parabola at the same time as the music video it syncs up perfectly

[rotund halo]

me and my team just lost our whole kits because of it

[vivid quest]

dude Valve is back at their bullshit with Icefrog, Blizzard is still somehow around, Rivals, every console is like 700+ dollars for no good reason (cus they aint got a single damn game), and every Roguelike is either Risk of Rain or Slay the Spire

[void bane]

legit and i hate being on xbox because it has even less games bro i just want to play deadlock

All their stuff is amazing 😭 it's hard to find something quite like TOOL

[long oasis]

welcome to my life against cheaters

[carmine gulch]

servers are down

[pulsar storm]

fwiw, it has its own set of annoying things, including cheaters 😛

[steady lynx]

anyone know when new content is dropping? is that carri event the 14th?

[plush kestrel]

I'm into all kinds of old school bands. Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Nirvana, TOOL, YES, Collective Soul, RHCP, and Butthole Surfers just to name a few

[hot trout]

have you seen the cheater montages they make from tournaments? last time felt something was rly off (yesterday) I found out about this via going through just one persons friendslist. They were like a lvl 4 steam acc, and then I checked their friendslist for VAC bans, and it took just one redirect to find the most cringe, pathetic, shut in shit ive seen in a few months. its genuinely wild how pathetic these ppl are, they get mad that they don't place above silver so they buy cheats and blame the mmr system or something

[smoky dome]

Please report any suspected cheaters through the in-game systems or on the website using the cheater report form.

[onyx kraken]

They don't want you to know this, but the baseline sponsor kit is free, you can take them home with you. I have 15 sponsor kits in my vault

[tepid belfry]

I'm on the game rn, been doin runs this whole time and dyin

[livid bison]

Can anyone tell me is there an agent that's a maggot

[hasty estuary]

How can i redeem Season Pass?
I have Ultimateň

[vivid quest]

Icefrog is notorious for doing shit for no good reason, not providing an explanation as to why they decided to do that, and then reverting it a year later for seemingly no reason

[carmine gulch]

the servers just crashed

[pulsar storm]

we're assuming that, but we don't know for certain

[tepid belfry]

Mine haven't 🤷‍♂️

[livid bison]

I was told there's a maggot agent but i haven't found any it's confusing me please let me know

[pulsar storm]

excellent description of the recent changes/reversions to Victor

[alpine crown]

Your bio says mentally illinois but I see a mentally chill dude so far

[onyx kraken]

WORM. There is a Worm agent. Say maggot again and you're getting Destroyer ulted.

[vivid quest]

WHY CHANGE MIRAGE??? HE WAS FINE

[compact ivy]

Did you hit your head before posting this?

[plush kestrel]

Oh guys one random question I had... A while back Bungie said I could get in-game content for completing some ARG stuff, but I never received it

[viral elm]

Im taking bets will we hear anything from bungie this week about cheating in ranked?

[pulsar storm]

he was considered the OP late-game carry, so I imagine it was in response to him getting picked in most pro games

[onyx kraken]

yeah I bet you a cyberacme freekit

[tepid belfry]

20 silk on we will not hear a thing

[plush kestrel]

Well, wait until you get to know me I guess 🤷‍♂️

[compact ivy]

Ahh, that tracks. Carry on with the brain damage ❤️

[livid bison]

Thanks !😁😁

[vivid quest]

Lets make Graves even MORE brainless, that'll SURELY fix every single problem with her moronic kit! Victor is a good tank? can't have that!

[halcyon mulch]

Icefrog the kinda guy to think "no this guy who's whole gimmick is that he cant die shouldn't be able to not die" and then made Abrams like that.

[pulsar storm]

didn't they nerf her

[onyx kraken]

Imagine if Marathon was a MOBA lol

[compact ivy]

Movement spped tank janna would like a word

[plush kestrel]

Ech!

[vivid quest]

Barely, they made her kit even more spammable as the tradeoff for not having built in splitshot

[viral elm]

Goodnight chat may the impossible happen so i can grind ranked without cheaters taking my goo gun and gold shields

[onyx kraken]

I hope they take all the goo guns and then get banned

[devout jolt]

cheaters defending the cheaters so they can keep cheating.. wtf am i reading RN 😭 🤣

[compact ivy]

I would purposefully fail to extract

[viral elm]

i have 4 more surely i will keep some

[zealous temple]

The sekiguchi quests are so fucking annoying to do. They are more annoying than arc quests. Not fun, not hardcore just annoying. Still love the game but DAMN

[halcyon mulch]

inb4 Ranked was a honeypot all along

[alpine crown]

I'm gonna take Mikail's goo guns and gold shields while they're asleep

[onyx kraken]

[void nimbus]

anyone else still stuck after the servers booted them?

[halcyon mulch]

real. I hate Nona

[onyx kraken]

Yeah, UESC officer? This one right here

[vivid quest]

Nona quests are bad on purpose there's no way they aren't

[zealous temple]

Nona needs to be stopped

[alpine crown]

you think Nona has soft skin?

[cyan sonnet]

We love the fact that thief can get on inaccessible roofs

[onyx kraken]

like velvet.

[tepid belfry]

Welp. That's 40. 40 runs back to back without a single exfil complete. No loot gained, several thousand lost, and enough free kits used to feed the entire homeless population in California 3 times over.

[plush kestrel]

I think it'd be squishy. Like an inchworm

[compact ivy]

Other factions: steal this/sabotage that/break windows

Nona: Hurt yourself for my entertainment <3

[halcyon mulch]

Vandal could too, just gotta get the agility stat up.

[bleak zodiac]

[onyx kraken]

Bro I dont do 40 runs in like. A week and a half. Maybe take a break.

[zealous temple]

She said she cared about me like a mother. Then asked me to go die, lol

[pulsar storm]

I feel like you should have a better exfil rate than that by sheer luck

[tepid belfry]

Well, when you get team wiped out of spawn every single match no matter the map, it's easy to get many in

[compact ivy]

Blast off is criminally slept on. So many insane rotations and absurd nerd spots that you can flank from. Rocket jumping is so strong

[tulip finch]

Bro cmon man how 🫩

[tepid belfry]

You and I would love to think that, but my vault, credits and loot lost say otherwise

[onyx kraken]

I went in with a freekit and killed two teams and looted pinwheel twice tn

[halcyon mulch]

Vandal is my favorite shell because most people often don't look up lmao.

[bleak zodiac]

[tepid belfry]

Unlike many, I don't have friends who like extraction shooters, and Solo Fill is a nightmare cesspool.

did they make the spawns worse today or something

[pulsar storm]

nothing changed today

[tulip finch]

LFG is calling you

[plush kestrel]

Tell me about it. I always match with... Well... A certain kind of people (Xbox gamers are fucking trash at games)

[onyx kraken]

I like how saying "word that means no clothes" gets an instant 1hr ban and you can be perma'd for casual discussion but this word escapes the UESC's notice

[cyan sonnet]

I am too busy grinding for stamina perks, 50 hours atm.

[zealous temple]

Can we get some more stash management updates pls. Weapons crates, mod crates etc. let augments and implants stack if they are the same. Also a box to put our keys in, cyro keys take up a lot of space lol

[void nimbus]

I’m still stuck on a “continue waiting” screen

[tepid belfry]

Oh, Arachne just gave me a cryo archive key for a rank up package. Guess I'll never be using that. Into the vault it goes

[compact ivy]

Funny enough my team has been doing a clearance level 1 spawn rush. Puts us in between another teams 1st and second room before they even make it to the second room. So much goop from people who aren't expecting to get naded the second they hack the first door

[onyx kraken]

WHAT?! This can happen!?

[livid marten]

same idk whats happening

[plush kestrel]

YOU LUCKY FUCK

[tepid belfry]

I am 100% serious, I can show you

[hot trout]

Also if you are a cheater because you think the game is woke or whatever and u wanna kill it: You cannot phase me. I have been playing TF2 for 15 years of my life. If I like the game, I will transfix on it. You cannot stop me. There are many like me. If you start flooding games with bots, I will overcome them. I am infallible. also i got macdonal chimmken nuggie

[untold sigil]

Hoarder spotted

[onyx kraken]

I like you but this is some Low Honor shit

[plush kestrel]

@tepid belfry I'LL KILL YO-

[alpine crown]

Low-key wish I had my old reports, they probably sound unhinged and silly in hindsight but I think I got what I needed out of them and moved on. I'm at peace in some areas and at war in other places, I think that's part of life tho. Few people are at true peace these days

[tepid belfry]

You're not the first. I have nearly 50 bodies piled up already

[regal fossil]

Same shit irl not gonna lie. 😅

[onyx kraken]

Bro if I see a fucking sniper bot in my lobbies I'm disconnecting you can have my kit

[untold sigil]

Thats different this is a game!

[reef marsh]

for me, i cant stand quests and grinding faction unlocks. literally just sucks the joy out of the game

but, the high that keeps me going, is finding a kitted team and looting their stuff. nothing gets me more excited than to have a vault full of purple and gold shields, but simultaneously lacking the capability to buy green and blue shields.

idk how serious ill be in season 2, since im mostly only serious rn since d2 is currently dead and there will be a pretty solid update imo for it at the start of june. but i think it'll be fun to just play the game at a disadvantage and loot geared players when the season has progressed a few weeks

[plush kestrel]

Please accept my friend request already, goddamn

[tepid belfry]

TF2 snipers moved to Marathon, we're gonna see Recons with thermal snipers spinning in place just like in 2-fort

[halcyon mulch]

Sierra Madre is about letting go...

[reef marsh]

amen

[onyx kraken]

if 2fort was a bungie designed map for Marathon it would have 4 full trios on it.

[hot trout]

I spent like 2 days with the guy who made the giant bot/hacker finder list thing that automatically filters cheaters n shit for TF2, and all we did was figure out how to break the bots, figure out weird ways to kill them over geometry or bug their pathfinding

[tepid belfry]

And a compiler in the sewers for good measure

[reef marsh]

praise to chimmken nuggie

[slender crescent]

I’m almost off just in time to donate my loot to the sweats

[alpine crown]

I'm low-key shy so don't feel offended if I talk here way more than in DMs

[brazen obsidian]

Doesent make sense, accumulative progress doesent reflect in one run if you bring good stuff, the only difference will be to have good loot for multiple runs

[bleak zodiac]

I want drinkable chekzzborhers

[fallen echo]

atp I just run free kit in solos and if I get put on a sea server I'm just quitting

[plush kestrel]

Understandable

[onyx kraken]

Your name is UESC RECRUIT but your pfp is an Assault Trooper. Pathetic.

[reef marsh]

she's a yapper, dont let her fool u

[slender crescent]

I know I need to get a good screen shot of one in game

[tepid belfry]

Oh, Tau, the key proof is in your DMs.

[fallen echo]

you don't know what's really in them...

[reef marsh]

not if u kill multiple teams across multiple games successfully and hoard some good loot 🙂

[onyx kraken]

pretty hard to find recruits, will take a few runs

[vast mauve]

If anyone has a prestige key they wanna run or wants to do the anomaly event tonight lmk

[alpine crown]

my tendency to shitpost surpasses my social anxiety 😭

[plush kestrel]

Relatable as hell

[rich harbor]

hard carry eh ?

[slender crescent]

I was extremely intoxicated at the time I did this thinking I was genius

[onyx kraken]

Also I had this name for like 2 years before Marathon dropped so I got to TCIV first and looted it all

[vast mauve]

Just all my friends are asleep, I’m a good player

[plush kestrel]

I wish we could post memes here

[stark current]

Gifs for me

[ionic loom]

@worn sapphire cheating in game just to get slapped and have all his gold loot stripped

[plush kestrel]

Two knife hit combo go brrrr @slender crescent

[tepid belfry]

Time to add more bodies to the pile

[onyx kraken]

Also shells will never know what it's like to use a q tip

[hot trout]

i cant find my light im going to kill myself

[vast mauve]

Shells never get to go poop 🙁

[onyx kraken]

literally why even live

[tepid belfry]

Shells never get to experience the cold refreshing taste of Budweizer

[slender crescent]

What

[onyx kraken]

They sent 500 billion q tips on board the marathon this is a fact

[hot trout]

i found my lighter its all i good i live to die another day

[slender crescent]

Lmao I keep them all over my house

[onyx kraken]

I had to do a drug test for my new job last monday and there is zero percent chance I passed that shit for thc but they dont seem to care lol

[cyan sonnet]

I hate dire marsh

[modern flame]

I love dire marsh

[desert spoke]

How did ur solo key run go that one night?

[alpine crown]

Man I remember why I was timed out earlier.. I was talking about how shells don't have reproductive organs but the character 2B can technically choose which ones she wants and even customize them. Imagine having a bazooka (rip granny) there, you know?

[onyx kraken]

man I dont wanna sleep ugh.

[slender crescent]

Then don’t

[modern flame]

[mortal sequoia]

Just do another run

[onyx kraken]

C'est la vie. Pop the melatonin gummy because otherwise I'll literally have vivid first person Marathon gunfight dreams bc of THC withdrawl

[tepid belfry]

Sleep well Tau

[plush kestrel]

Wait a minute, they don't?

[cyan sonnet]

Apparently yoko taro is making a new game

[slender crescent]

Just stay awake for like 38 hours then get hammered and pass out :3

[alpine crown]

They're barbie dolls as far as I know, I think they can't eat either

[onyx kraken]

I had a dream where I was fighting a guy point blank with a sniper and I was chaining headshots and melee finishes it was awesome

[plush kestrel]

That's tragic

[slender crescent]

My dreams are always I’m late on rent or something and I wake up panicking

[alpine crown]

I sure hope we see Emil again

[plush kestrel]

I had a dream where... Actually no. My dreams are that bad

[onyx kraken]

I had a dream about being late for work no matter what I did so then I can wake up and stress about it in real life! yay

[cyan sonnet]

I just hope we dont have to repeat the emil cycle

[reef topaz]

how exactly does triage ability "Improve performance" of weapon? Better damage? Less recoil? Does it specify this anywhere in game?

[plush kestrel]

Y'all don't understand nightmares until you've seen some of my dreams

[white depot]

my dreams always involve my teeth falling out. for some reason.

[stark current]

Less recoil I know that much

[fast relic]

please tell me sniper balance is in the patch tomorrow

[cyan sonnet]

It always hurts lady spider
Like dire marsh never fun

[onyx kraken]

oh dont worry there were like 6 shots tonight

[slender crescent]

Come on just drink a handle

[alpine crown]

Of tears falling 😭

[onyx kraken]

light work for a monday night tbh. me and my liver arent on speaking terms, I think he blocked me

[slender crescent]

Last time I was in the er my labs came back really good they claimed it doesn’t look like I drink as much as I claimed so I told them it’s words of encouragement

[onyx kraken]

yeah this isnt gonna happen for me lol

[slender crescent]

Brush the teefs

[onyx kraken]

words of wisdom: avoid turning 30

[raven pagoda]

How do you view thief's drone inventory while flying it (on controller) ?

[tepid belfry]

welp, that's runs 41, 42, and 43, all as deaths

[white depot]

i take v good care of them

[slender crescent]

I was shocked I was drinking about a 5th or more a night for over a year solid.

[onyx kraken]

dude go to bed. the night is already a write off you're just tilting yourself

[fickle wedge]

You can't, need to fly back to your shell and "loot" it

[long oasis]

don’t worry i won twice today 😎.

[slender crescent]

Light work, gear up and go again

[onyx kraken]

try like. uh. idk 5+ years for me? maybe 6 now actually.

[stark current]

If you’re having that many bad runs then I’d say you need to slow down and be more cautious on your approaches into pois

[hot geyser]

Where can I put in a ticket for items return. Had multiple gold items and when trying to exfil a CMDR melee’d me a billion meters off map with one hit 😭

[tepid belfry]

Oh, I'm desensetized to it now. I'm genuinely just curious to see how many losses I can wrack up in a night while actually trying to win.

[raven pagoda]

I've seen clips of ppl doing it while piloting it on kbm, but idek what keybind it is

[long oasis]

he’s just waiting for that one good ass run to go to sleep, i know that drive

[slender crescent]

Yeah I’m having to calm down on it I’ll be 30 soon and I’ve got a better grip on the mental health

[onyx kraken]

You are the living embodiment of the dude mining for diamonds rn lol

[fast relic]

whats up with spawns, first building theres a team already inside, havent even gotten to the 20min remaining message

[onyx kraken]

Lucky, you made it to 20m remaining without running into a team? I'm jealous

[fast relic]

its call of duty spawns at this point

[onyx kraken]

they should add killstreaks

[tepid belfry]

Mama ain't raised a bitch

[fickle wedge]

I wasn't aware you could, even on PC...

[stark current]

They aren’t super huge maps. Some spawns are only like 20-30 seconds from each other

[onyx kraken]

instead of attack dogs it spawns two invisble assassins who W towards you with knives

[raven pagoda]

Yeah I wasn't either until I saw clips of it

[fickle wedge]

I generally don't care for the loot I pick from another runner, more fun to fly around and watch them to try and shoot it down hahaha

[slender crescent]

Was gonna say I’ve done all main quests for the most part me and my friends only load in to do PvP now so we always try to rush a spawn.

[compact ivy]

You think that's bad 😛

#📽️run-clips message

[fallen echo]

spent 10 minutes searching for the valuable I needed for my contract, found 1 and then on my way to extract killed by some recon ratting in a corner behind a rock 😩
I'm tired boss

[onyx kraken]

Need three Thieves droning the same guy from multiple angles

[brazen obsidian]

Go trios

[onyx kraken]

Willem DaFoe looking up in fear/awe meme

[fallen echo]

fuck that dogshit without a premade

[fickle wedge]

Has to be a Rook though, not a kitted player for maximum hilarity

[leaden crown]

Yo guys

[olive matrix]

god the cheating is getting bad really fast

[brazen obsidian]

Nah, I play 90% with randoms and had very nice experiences

[fallen echo]

must be nice

[onyx kraken]

believe it or not, straight to cryosleep.

ahhh pah pah pah pah. Into the pod. There you go. Night night.

[serene basalt]

you could have mine but i cant refund it anymore 🙁

[brazen obsidian]

SKIN HIM

[onyx kraken]

bro is not using it anymore soooo

[raven pagoda]

I snagged a prestige gun mod from someone in Outpost yesterday by flying it in Pinwheel lol

[trail wing]

[onyx kraken]

ooooo. 300 year in the making embed fail

[brazen obsidian]

What is he doing in this chat in the middle of the night? Get him out

[compact ivy]

I stole someones vault 6 key with the drone :3

[gritty lichen]

BUNGIE FIX YOUR SERVERS

[brazen obsidian]

How old are you

[olive matrix]

my bro #server-status message

[serene basalt]

The games really good but there is now nothing to do. My vaults full, Theres 3 maps and one timegated, and they fix nothing like they did in d2 bungie are just crap at fixing stuff

[gritty lichen]

Booting me mid game is not what should happen

[cold stump]

just because you died to someone that was being quiet doesn't mean they were ratting -_-

[compact ivy]

Post your vault in #📽️run-clips I don't believe you lmao

[brazen obsidian]

I needed that information to send you the game but ok

[gritty lichen]

That maintenance isn't even for another 6 hours

[compact ivy]

Get a paper route and buy the game for yourself instead of being a bum

[onyx kraken]

I didnt know there were non-gold cryo vault keys

[reef marsh]

yeah 1 and 2 are purple

[serene basalt]

happy to but the cheating is insane have you seen the clip of 9 men teams on cryo the games a joke

[brazen obsidian]

So your a kid or some

[magic rose]

Idk how u guys play solo fill, but its absolute hell. People who dont know what they are doing, dont know how to stick together, how to cut angles, how to get to high ground, running free kiys. Its actually abysmal.

[onyx kraken]

maybe there's hope for me yet

[hollow crescent]

Bro

[cold stump]

if you want curate your teammate's loadouts then do lfg

[brazen obsidian]

Cute

[reef marsh]

pinwheel middle room is a guaranteed cryo key drop btw

good luck gamer

[compact ivy]

I have never run into this a single time and have 337 hours in game

[magic rose]

Only time I get fun games is when I matchmake in LFG

[onyx kraken]

3 year olds wake up on my days off and be like: lemme team fill into cryo with white shields and a knife

[reef marsh]

it’s prevalent in OCE servers, boosters are pretty active there cause pop is low

[serene basalt]

its on youtube bro service is 17 bucks, the guy clips it he gets the same 9 guys runnig carries

[magic rose]

But like for people who dont know about discord lfg, who only play ingame matchmaking, this game must be hell

[brazen obsidian]

If you don’t play it, dont talk about it

[alpine crown]

make sure you never tell strangers personal information, these streets aren't safe. I'm not even sure this server is safe for younger kids tbh

[fallen echo]

I once had a moment where I was in a 1v3... on solo no fill...

[onyx kraken]

Does this mean I can go OCE and hide in a corner of perimiter with my key templates

[compact ivy]

Can we get a harddrive check over here bungie

[serene basalt]

i want to play it its just getting boring cant u agree.

[alpine crown]

okay good, I need your mom's credit card information and I'll get you as many copies as her buying power allows

[stark current]

I don’t use any Lfg myself and I get by just fine with random fills. There’s good fills and then there’s bad fills.

I’ve had some runs where we ded in 30 seconds and then I’ve had others where we clear the whole lobbies

[fallen echo]

don't ask for strangers online to buy it for you

[magic rose]

What if those strangers have free candy? And promise that they are not weirdos, pinky swear?

[brazen obsidian]

Bro what! Haha

[reef marsh]

it’d prob be easier to just make some friends and camp an exfil lol

[brazen obsidian]

Hahahshahahaha fuck I should have opened my mouth

[magic rose]

Its okey bro, just do it, be cool

[coarse kraken]

Does the movement speed from Ambush and Flexweave stack?

[onyx kraken]

man this discord chat gets weird af at night

[waxen patrol]

Basketball

[compact ivy]

Yes

[alpine crown]

damn that's convincing, I DO like candy... And free? In this economy? Say no more..

[olive hawk]

PSA:

Avoid hitting high level at all costs, the game becomes extremely unfun due to level-based matchmaking

Prepare yourself for every run having to fight people dropping 4-5 bubble shields a fight and infinite grenades, camping doors for 15+ minutes, etc.

[brazen obsidian]

No, I was going to shit on you if you were a grown man asking for someone to buy him the game

[vestal skiff]

where would i put video evidence of cheating

[tepid belfry]

purple and gold keys are the only 2 keys

[alpine crown]

Haha just a test

[onyx kraken]

all you need to do is tell us the numbers on the front of your mom's contraband vault 7 key and then the three wacky Intercept numbers on the back

[compact ivy]

You're a minor asking people to buy a game for you online and offering to go into DMs and play with them. This is not intelligent behaviour

[brazen obsidian]

Not at this moment Srry

[magic rose]

What kind of evidence do you have? What exactly happened that you conclusively believe its cheating?

[final peak]

Well, somehow managed to crew fill rando my way into silver. We'll see how long that lasts.

[serene basalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQ84YLZ8wc

[cold stump]

and one red

[brazen obsidian]

Ask a random familiar for it, it will work

[onyx kraken]

I need a meme of the compiler key where it's red for an amazing reason

[olive hawk]

How long do y’all think it will be until Bungie implements SBMM?

[brazen obsidian]

Bro shut up fr hahaha he a kid bro

[compact ivy]

lucid solo no filledto silver, so you should be able to get a bit further

[glacial kestrel]

Quick question can you use returned items as vault space extension or is there some expiry date to claim them?

[reef marsh]

it’s a week before it goes away

[onyx kraken]

bro

[vestal skiff]

@magic rose im in my hiding spots that nobody knows about an i turn around an somone is hard camping me then gives up cause only i can get to my spot an goes an finds 3 rats in tubes kills em all i just posted it ....he has multpe bans on record hes playing solo in ranked i mean hes blatent rage cheating lol

[cold stump]

you can use them as vault space extension, the expiry date is like a week long, plenty of people gold guns in their vault because they take the most space

[neat osprey]

never..time to start getting good 🦾

[brazen obsidian]

No bro wtf, Im not santa clause, ask him for the game, it will be more effective than this chat

[magic rose]

Why dont u just … try working? Or doing chores for ppl in your hood instead of begging from strangers

[vestal skiff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPYaLgA09hU @magic rose check it out an dont use my spot or share it lol

[stark current]

Bungie website

[onyx kraken]

Does santa travel 12 light years in one night to bring kids on TCIV their presents or does he have like an amazon elf subcontractor that takes care of New Cascadia for him

[mental karma]

Eh? Where do you see records of bans?

[alpine crown]

I can't afford $40 right now, that's crazy, imagine the gas prices

[onyx kraken]

job application jumpscare for some of you mofos in here i stg

[brazen obsidian]

Your birthday then

[onyx kraken]

alright im about to overdose on these melatonin gummies theyre so good. gn you losers

[edgy panther]

@raw frigate

[brazen obsidian]

What?

[alpine crown]

I'm sorry but I cannot aid you. You must ask/beg your parents for the game, perhaps wager with them. You get better grades in the future, you get the game now..but don't break a promise. Try your best. Now fly... Fly fly fly

[brazen obsidian]

Why

[final peak]

Here's a hot take: Remove the WSTR's chip slot.

[onyx kraken]

let me run a thermal on it

[proper storm]

lowk fuck with this idea

[white depot]

does the misriah's ROF increase if you're running the gold mod and the slick mag? or does it not stack

[fallen echo]

been noticing more rubber banding on non high latency servers, anyone else have this issue?

[cold stump]

the pixel perfect shooting was kind of suspicious because its impossible for someone to instantly react like that, but the tracking around the building at the end is definitely something ive done by just listening to sprinting footsteps

[brazen obsidian]

Assasin with bully thermal scope is the SHIT GUYS, goated combo

[alpine crown]

Let's manifest the game together, maybe we can manifest a $40 dollars eh? 🧘‍♀️

[brazen obsidian]

If everyone guives one dollar

[alpine crown]

Okay lol

[onyx kraken]

look what bingus found
$40 💵

[final peak]

I'm donating -$40. Now you need $80.

[vale egret]

😭 😭

[fallen echo]

also some hit reg delay, I dodged out of the way of a knife hit but it registered so I was downed while I was still flying across the room

[brazen obsidian]

Because youre A LIAR

[halcyon comet]

I found my first Misriah!!! UWU

[round badger]

does anyone know how to get the breach protocol profile background and emblem?

[vestal skiff]

@cold stump yea that part is the dead giveaway but after me throwing nade after nade not only that but i have 350 hours in t he game NOT ONCE have i had somone just sitting behind me like that when im in that spot not once nobody has EVER known me being there

[proper storm]

just almost got jumped a free kit knifer and somehow lived on exactly 1 hp after two hits, god is good

[onyx kraken]

guys I killed the compiler and he dropped this weird paper thing with Andrew Jackson on it, two of them in fact, where are these used does anyone know?

[brazen obsidian]

liar LIAR!!!! You did get something for Christmas, you just want the game

[alpine crown]

The plot unfolds, the thread unravels...

[cold stump]

yea he kills the team and just instantly snaps up to you which is crazy, the bans on his account alone is an indicator they never stopped cheating

[fast relic]

they might as well just add Snipers Only Playlist for Dire Marsh

[brazen obsidian]

So when do you get stuff for you

[onyx kraken]

bro is on a freekit IRL

[tepid belfry]

AFTER 50 RUNS, I FINALLY GOT OUT, AND THIS TIME, I GOT OUT WITH A FUCKIN GARBAGE GOLD ITEM, THE STREAK IS OVER

[brazen obsidian]

Toys, videogames etc

[celest mountain]

[reef summit]

time to lose it on the next run

[tepid belfry]

I'm goin to bed, I have work in 7 hours

[onyx kraken]

[brazen obsidian]

HAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHSHAHAHS life free kit

[brazen obsidian]

Then why do you like resident evil

[celest mountain]

Figures

[tiny glen]

Looks like a purple cow

[brazen obsidian]

Doesent make sense at all

[onyx kraken]

I love star citizen, I would like the 1200 dollars I spent on it over the years back please

[half tusk]

ooof all my friends got off now im solo quing sadface

[brazen obsidian]

How Can you play the game if you don’t own a gaming pc then

[serene basalt]

you really spent that

[onyx kraken]

over like 6-7 years it's not that big of a deal

[brazen obsidian]

What lore

[tiny glen]

I spent $3,000 on GTA shark cards it still hurts me thinking about it and I was just 17 years old

[fallen echo]

have you played any prior Marathon?

[leaden crown]

🤷‍♂️

[tepid belfry]

Moo

[onyx kraken]

yeah see you spent that on an inferior game while I get to pretend I am in space clearly I win

[serene basalt]

it looks awesome but will it ever come out??
i heart he budget has been insane

[brazen obsidian]

Nope

[tiny glen]

I bought all the homies everything and I sat in my bunker and blew everything up

[onyx kraken]

Pay to Not Play lol

[final peak]

Jesus. I spent a couple hundred in donations to a TF2 server when I was a kid and I feel like I got scammed. That's a mortgage payment you threw away lmao.

[fallen echo]

yeah nah you don't know shit about this game lmao

[serene basalt]

i did buy all the packs for apex to get the wraith knife in apex lol

[tropic fable]

so ranked is just a HvH gamemode right now lmao

[onyx kraken]

tbf I have given Jerma like just shy of 3k over the years as well. he is a saint though so I dont regret a cent

[alpine crown]

I know someone who spent $4k on League of Legends skins and they weren't even particularly godlike at the game 😭

[brazen obsidian]

Wtf

[onyx kraken]

Approaching 10 year sub on that channel

[tepid belfry]

Ah yes, my gold item is a muzzle for the V66 Lookout. One of, if not the worst volt weapon in the game

[tiny glen]

Yeah I inherited a lot of money and spent at least 10k in 3 months just on games for me and the boys plus ps5’s and pcs I was a stupid ignorant kid. Lmao

[brazen obsidian]

Anyway, good night

[onyx kraken]

yeah I inherited 120k and then blew it in like 6 years on frivolous shit I was a fucking idiot lol

[tiny glen]

I just got into league I’m tryna buy all the jhin skins and some valorant skins.

[alpine crown]

Sleep tight 😈

[brazen obsidian]

Get the 100 dlrs one pls, and by sekiro one too

[onyx kraken]

you are not alone

[alpine crown]

😭 careful, that game brings out the worst in people

[onyx kraken]

irl cleaned my vault out

[tiny glen]

You can work at McDonald’s for life get free meals and save for games

[brazen obsidian]

Best game ever (after marathon)

[onyx kraken]

Oh brother. This guy stinks

[tiny glen]

I am banned from comms for a year

[brazen obsidian]

Wtf

[neat thunder]

man I know it's late on a monday night but queue times are awful right now for solo outpost

[balmy mango]

only a year? lucky

[brazen obsidian]

Just rook or trios

[tepid belfry]

Goodnight fellas

[alpine crown]

I'm manifesting as best as I can for you, little homie. 🧘‍♀️

[tiny glen]

I also have a weird clip of this streamer playing offline whos teammates instant revived her 3 times in a a row with one of them being a triage. When I say instant I mean they revived instantly as im tryna finish them.

[odd bear]

neurochem packs for blue sheilds theres 0 reason to free kit on fills

[grand sapphire]

Same I just reset and still in lobby for 2+ min

[brazen obsidian]

Not even santa clause shows up in this guys house, i dont think the magic chat will save him lol

[alpine crown]

did you say some regretful things?

[onyx kraken]

False

[tiny glen]

Uh some dude was being rude af to some girl in our ranked game and harassing her on her stream so I typed some gnarly shit

[brazen obsidian]

Yeah but the gifts are…

[leaden crown]

Ok furry (joke)

[onyx kraken]

Like the the 8th furry punchline joke of the night

[alpine crown]

Manifesting IS helping... Watch, you'll get a copy one day and you'll be thinking of ME, the one who manifested that copy

[tiny glen]

Lowkey this was a W response

[grand sapphire]

Still can't find an outpost rook game

Everyone here queue rook outpost rn

[onyx kraken]

Like bro people think calling me a furry is some kind of deep cut. I already hate myself, you can't call me anything my reflection hasn't already lmao

[tiny glen]

We don’t allow furrys in Arachne I wouldn’t allow it unless you skin your own kind and eat them alive

[brazen obsidian]

Why? Who cares if santa is real, if you get gifts then its cool

[neat thunder]

never had rook queues take longer than 30s before, this isn't great

[tiny glen]

Get a job.

[brazen obsidian]

I just played and got insta games

[alpine crown]

No good can come out of that behavior. I, too, was a bit more toxic back then but you live and learn and grow

[grand sapphire]

Might be bugged on outpost I just ran perimeter like an hour ago

[final peak]

Take a brave quest into mom's purse

[brazen obsidian]

Loot her purse hahaha

[tiny glen]

I called him a bi*** nun crazy

[hexed seal]

man I want so badly to have actual fights in this game but there's no time lol. Every fight is over too fast, people die too quickly.

[sharp drift]

do cores of the same effect stack?

[brazen obsidian]

What country u from, like África or india or some (no offense )

[tiny glen]

Idk man purple shield teams are the best to fight against

[hexed seal]

Maybe so, I wouldn't know yet. It doesn't feel good to have actual fights locked behind whether you have a purple shield or not lol

[brazen obsidian]

Cryo fights are way longer

[alpine crown]

Oh good, I can't condone hateful behavior, that will increase the suffering in this dying world

[manic lantern]

is there a website for making builds?

[tiny glen]

Really depends my PvP is always insane and fun. But for some god forsaken reason most people in this game play like it’s their first shooter game

[brazen obsidian]

Thats actually à cool idea

[hexed seal]

well seeing as how I don't have a consistent team to play with, and I work when cryo is open, I'm kinda just not allowed to ever play Cryo

[devout jolt]

Why bother. Games dead

[tiny glen]

I mean when he’s being racist and saying the most filthy stuff I had to put my cape on in shit

[alpine crown]

yeah, fuck racists tbh

[brazen obsidian]

Use bubble shields, they extend fights a lot, its very fun

[stark current]

Cryo really isn’t that fun anyways

[tiny glen]

League is fun tho I played nun but day z today lmao

[brazen obsidian]

Said no one ever

[royal geyser]

Cryo is fun when we run the cheapest kits and get out 3 vault keys in one raid then we lose it all and repeat the cycle

[hexed seal]

i dont understand why cryo isn't just always available

[tiny glen]

Cause it’s a experience

[stark current]

A lot of us avoid it lol

Op gun

Bubble meta with WSTR play

I can bet you cryo is the least played map. That’s the price of making it “endgame”

[hexed seal]

can you not have experiences on wednesday or something lol

[brazen obsidian]

It increases enjoyment when you can play it, if it where too familiar it won’t be the same

[grand sapphire]

Is anyone in a game rn

[alpine crown]

I do not play League anymore... I sometimes get the itch but I think I'm more interested in the art design nowadays

[royal geyser]

If we could play Cryo everyone minute we would all be broke, the 4 day gap allows people to build up loot to be able to run Cryo

[stark current]

The nice thing about cryo is it pulls some of the hardcore sweats away at least

[hexed seal]

idk. I just know that I literally can't ever play it xD I work when it's available and I'm way way too tired to try and play it in the little downtime I have during those days.

[brazen obsidian]

Bro wtf people praised the damn map all over the internet tf your saying, maybe casuals dont like it though

[bleak zodiac]

[brazen obsidian]

I think they will rotate the days for it so…

[tiny glen]

I do but I love the fact that it’s an experience that isn’t always there something to look forward too. It’s a special map and if it was like outpost it wouldn’t have that special atmosphere and experience idk

[alpine crown]

Cryo is very cool, I just wish I was good enough to do a compiler run..lots of fun places to explore

[prime turtle]

YOU GUYS. I AM SO LATE BUT TODAY I FINALLY DID A SOLO PINWHEEL COMPLETE LOOT AND SNEAKY EXFILL. USING THE EBT FREEBIE KIT LOL!!!

[bleak zodiac]

Mpreg

[trim mist]

Hi guys, do you know where i can find some cool wallpapers of the game?

[brazen obsidian]

Pinterest?

[stark current]

Google

[bleak zodiac]

Marton

[warm hull]

another good day to crash out in pubs

[trim mist]

👍

[alpine crown]

Their tw*tter handle apparently has some, I think the art channel has someone's wallpaper they made for the game, maybe.

[scenic grove]

Anyone know how to get the crimson bliss skin for the magnum?

[tiny glen]

I’ll draw something for u twin

[upper lava]

6-man teams in plat and above ranked is cancer.
If you’re doing Ts you’re a fucking loser icl

[hasty olive]

only time I didnt pick someone up in this game was when they started calling our third some slurs

[tiny glen]

Then you should be too young to own discord.

[proper storm]

tbf theres a bit of a gap between 13-16 where its pretty valid

[neat thunder]

brother if you're at least 14 you're old enough to work construction, I would know

[alpine crown]

Once I heard someone say a slur and then followed it by "but not in a bigoted way" and I was thoroughly thrown off balance. #DireMarsh

[tiny glen]

You can work at McDonalds at the age of 15

[cedar moth]

Most states have imposed limits on working age above general internet TOS age requirements.

[tiny glen]

I’m kicking u out of Arachne weirdo

[cedar moth]

Country-wise it depends. Some don’t care.

[proper storm]

as someone who was very unable to find work between 14-18 i think its fair to not expect a highschooler to have a job

[wanton ibex]

You guys are being baited and just keep on responding to him

[frail heath]

if you don't have a job in HS, there better be a focus on athletics or grades to compensate.

[tiny glen]

I cut grass for $20 a week and saved up for a ps4 if there is a will there is a way.

[proper storm]

there are a lot of variables at play for people those ages to find jobs and it can be a really big challenge (still cringe to be begging in a discord channel for a game but kids are cringe so its chill)

[cinder rose]

Are you in an eu time zone by any chance? Haha

[cedar moth]

It’s perfectly acceptable to not be working at that age.

[tiny glen]

Yeah bros weird begging for a game.

[proper storm]

mb that i had a single dad and younger siblings to care for

[wanton ibex]

Because you're a grown ass man roleplaying as a teenager

[frail heath]

Why beg for this one? The chances this game makes it past season 2 isn't awesome

[tiny glen]

It’s also weird being in the games discord being negative about it

[cedar moth]

And I also think it’s a bit weird to be imposing some standard or prodding a supposed minor about their employment.

[frail heath]

That's not negativity.....it's just reality lol.

[proper storm]

yea for real

[tiny glen]

Buy him the game so they can shut the fuck up then

[stark current]

Nah, kids should be kids and enjoy it while it lasts. Jobs are for after graduation

[loud laurel]

Have you guys had good experiences with the lfg? Its been so long since Ive played anything with randos. Im a little hesitant from what Ive seen with other games lately.

[cedar moth]

@leaden crown as a good faith answer; most online communities do not welcome begging.

I’d purchase it for you but I’ve been through a round of birthdays as of late, so I’m quite spent at the moment.

[tiny glen]

So you’d rather have a supposed “kid” begging for games in discord groups full of strangers than motivate them to work for it?

[cedar moth]

I’d rather just encourage them not to do it kindly and not prod a minor with irrelevant questions, yes.

[stark current]

It’ll be hit and miss

[proper storm]

i think its more an angle where you ignore and move on but to each their own

[alpine crown]

Child labor bad

[cinder rose]

Same, tbh have a better track record of friending chill rando’s that turn out to be cool

[tiny glen]

Yeah people are weird lmao

[proper storm]

TRUE

[stark current]

Yeah I honestly suggest that method

Random fill and try friending the players you like is more efficient than Lfg imo

[cedar moth]

LFG in my experience has led to stuck up and petty people. (Unless it’s me sherpaing, in which case they’re usually kind and patient)

Randoms don’t have a reason to care. They’re more fun to play with.

[wanton ibex]

Yeah 100%. I left the two LFG groups I had joined it was a complete waste of time. Instead I've friended people from fill crew and had numerous games with them

[ivory kite]

After really getting to know these two weapons after a handful of runs, I must say: twin-tap HBR is ass and Demolition HMG is godlike

[alpine crown]

I'm surprised LFG has so many petty players, I thought people would be more eager to make friends and teams

[frail heath]

Demolition is what Hardline should be. It's literally just hardline with full auto and a different skin

[cold stump]

twin tap kills so fast tho

[stark current]

Lfg is where people have to many expectations

Lot of those people aren’t chill and look at it as you wasting their time if you aren’t a PvP god

And many aren’t even welcoming to teaching people either

[wanton ibex]

LF Outpost must be level 150, easily 3 v 1, built like the Rock, and able to handstand for 20 minutes straight

[cinder rose]

Have noticed that the pool of friends that I’ve built up over the past three weeks has dried up: no one was online yesterday 🙁

[noble needle]

is the game full of cheaters for na and eu players? oce ranked and cryo is infested with them because of how small our region is.

[ivory kite]

Does it? I was having awful luck with it

[cedar moth]

People have too high of expectations upon randoms as is. Have you seen the whiners in this chat?

[vast mauve]

Just got killed by someone with wallsight 🙁

[loud laurel]

Oh, so I'll be good then! /s

[alpine crown]

Damn LFG needs to take a step back, drink an ice cold glass of delicious water, and do some yoga. Yea, I said it. Yoga.

[cedar moth]

/report in the ingame chat and enter their username from your recent players list.

[cold stump]

i have a ttk spreadsheet that says it has the fasted ttk out of all the precision weapons, but i can see how a 2 burst weapon feels awful

[wanton ibex]

Hot yoga is the shit

[tiny glen]

Ima start twerking in this mf

[cinder rose]

So that’s why I’ve been sucking so much!

[royal geyser]

I’m NA and have run into one person cheating in ranked, however my OCE buddy has run into a couple 6 or 9 mans in Cryo because servers are small enough where multiple teams can join the same lobby every time

[sand rampart]

drinkable cheeseburgers have an ingredient called psilocybinol-28. nucal is putting shit in our drinkable cheeseburgers to turn us into cattle!!!!

[alpine crown]

Friendly reminder to check your posture 🦐 and drink more water 🌊

[noble needle]

yeah people in the oce discord talk about it a lot. massive issue for people, queueing into 9mans all the time

[wanton ibex]

Damn that sucks

[fast relic]

OCE is full of collusion

[ivory kite]

I couldn't get the double tap feature to serve me in any real capacity. If I tried to double tap the head, the 2nd shot misses. If I try to hit the chest first to make the 2nd shot climb into the head, I have to account for range to target to make the recoil work for me

[versed mirage]

this matchmaking is horrible players

[reef topaz]

I could see how teaming on cryo could be an issue... IF I COULD EVER GET INTO CRYO

[digital pelican]

that traxus quest to get amygdla drives and anomaly wire was so fuuuucked uuup holy god

[ivory kite]

Meanwhile the Demo has consistent recoil that feels like trying to wrangle an AK from counterstrike and hits like a truck

[cold stump]

yeaa its freaky

[cedar moth]

If it has any relation to the chemical psilocybin, or the “magic mushrooms” drug, then perhaps it’s used as a hallucinogen of some kind. My assumption would be it’s meant as a drug to overly sedate the user with serotonin so that they’re happy despite the food being absolutely abysmal. That and the effects of the drug would develop a dependency to continue consuming it to chase the high, leading to NuCaloric retaining customers.

[fresh bough]

anyone trynna run sumn outpost duos?

[cedar moth]

Similar theories and concepts about fast food chains have been made as well, if you’re interested in reading that.

[ivory kite]

Just spent 10 minutes cat-and-mousing with a thief in solos. Riveting tbh, I ended up pressuring her into a mistake and pleased arachne

Chased her all over overflow, she kept camping roofs which made approaching her very hard

[alpine crown]

Microdosing sillycybins could allow easier consciousness transference from host to shell too

[fast relic]

knives out full sprint like its CounterStrike tonight i guess

[royal geyser]

Just stole some rooks vault 6 keycard on outpost 😈 thief drone on top

[sand rampart]

Schizopilled

[cedar moth]

Well yes. But the primary consumer audience for these products would probably be the human base back in Sol.

[spare shoal]

strimmers and unemployed individuals wont be able to show their big dingus and make average Marathon enjoyer smell their pp odor

[solid yew]

party is over, you little shits

[alpine crown]

Oh yeah probably, Dr. House

[bleak zodiac]

This game makes me lesbian

[sand rampart]

anyone else read prometheus rising??

[snow wedge]

anyone know why sometimes on outpost when you in the pinwheel and press both buttons the main door still don’t open and it only shows 1 button was pressed? i believe theirs only 2 (not counting the drop down thing and the turn off defenses one)

[fast relic]

they should just silently implement SBMM and then gaslight anyone who calls them out

[alpine crown]

There's no laws against the burger, Batman

[serene basalt]

because there is little to no content in game so if it was open all he time peope wlld loot it all vaults fill move on to the next game. and theres hardly anyone playing this in eu

[noble needle]

she s'pht on my thang till i compil(h)er, hawk tuah!

[atomic stag]

100 hours in and I still could not figure out how to actually improve at the pvp. Is it just figuring out ways to get behind and above people?

[stark current]

SBMM only works when you have the pop anyways. Like they can add it sure but then once a player count is small enough the algorithm will just look for the next closest thing to match you anyways. Then it’s not even SBMM at that point, it’s just trying to find you a game period

Marathon just isn’t a game right now that SBMM is needed

[noble needle]

aimlabs(or roller aim assist) + map knowledge + plus good 3 stack static group.

[fast relic]

you need two things 1)GamerChair 2)Piss Bucket

[frail heath]

just download one of the esp hacks that apparently everybody else runs nowadays. Edit. not really. dont be a sbag

[alpine crown]

No, I'm aware of it though

[solid yew]

WSTR goes pfcht pfcht

[atomic stag]

My aim is fine, I know what everything does, I know all the maps well enough

[noble needle]

congrats you are faker tenz love child god gamer or you're lying(to your self).

[final peak]

"Skill" based matchmaking doesn't work. Ever. Period.

[fast relic]

play earlier in the day maybe? with all these kind of games, the later the night gets the sweatier the lobbies

[cold stump]

play your life and dont be in a position where someone can commit to a kill, you really gotta analyze what led to your death in any situation

[atomic stag]

This is very difficult to actually do when every single thing you do in every situation is a mistake

[solid yew]

i get some good relaxed lobbies around 3-6 am regularly 8)

[frail heath]

it's an esp hack. they know where you are and what loot you have homie. And apparently bungie is totally fine with it i just by lack of doing anything about it

[cold stump]

then play slower, make sure every aspect of your gameplay is intentional

[tawdry kraken]

That Arachne guy sure loves giving me a new lmg only to die to an assassin on outpost

[snow wedge]

bump

[alpine siren]

i miss playin trios but fuck crew fill. my literal first one and its two divorced dads and one of them walks off the map i kid you fuckin not 5 seconds in

[fast relic]

ill have to try, 8pm-2am is an esports tournament

[atomic stag]

I've died hundreds and hundreds of times in hundreds and hundreds of specific scenarios. I can't learn from mistakes if everything is a mistake.

[cold stump]

learn one thing to do better every time you die, just one thing, there's usually a straw that breaks the camel's back

[atomic stag]

I die when I play slow, I die when I play fast

[tawdry kraken]

I thought divorced dads would have that locked down

[fast relic]

he just thinkin bout his ex wife bro :/

[cedar moth]

Ambushing and picking your battles slowly is what works best.

UESC around and firing? Somebody’s getting rocked, pursue them. You see a Runner enter a location? Wait it out a bit before you enter; they’ll hear you before you see them.

[alpine crown]

👨‍🍼 Divorced dads be going through a lot sometimes, you know

[cold stump]

thats why you have to learn from your deaths

[atomic stag]

You guys are just describing basic game sense that I learned within my first hour of the game

[alpine siren]

as soon as i saw the user "50yroldgamer" i knew it was ggs

[frail heath]

this is good advice. Basically just play the game in the most boring way possible and you'll see noticable improvements

[tawdry kraken]

My wife left me because I couldn’t get into pinwheel.

[cold stump]

apply it

[cedar moth]

It’s boring because gamers want things happening at all seconds and at all corners of the screens

This is not Destiny. You gotta play like it.

[alpine siren]

divorce wife
drink beer
throw on outpost

in a single run

[atomic stag]

This is no shade against you guys. I ask for ways to get better and it turns out i'm already doing all of that and it's not working. So there's nothing I can do.

[obsidian wyvern]

Just had to block some players from outpost ranked. Asked if they had mics, no reply. The other two started running way ahead. They get into a gunfight. I finish off a triage. They both go down. I smoked a TAD nearby because I have no clue where they got shot from, guy hops on mic just to lose his mind about me tadding. We all self revive. Silence again. They run off to fight the same ppl. I flanked and guess who died again lol. I get another kill and get shotgunned. Dude hops back on mic just to say I'm bad and to never play again. SMH am I supposed to be glued to their hips with 0 comms? I had better luck playing ranked solo.

[fast relic]

now she getting pinwheeled by rooks all day

[cold stump]

watch other people's gameplay and see how they play, its okay if you dont know what you dont know

[tawdry kraken]

Pinwheel is just first person MGS1. Gotta know the sounds you make.

[past atlas]

Anyone else run into a 2 team stack? Trios or duos?

[noble needle]

all the rooks are different snake clones

[brittle imp]

[atomic stag]

I've watched the videos, they just narrate vague points about "positioning," and in practice that's getting behind and above people. So I would just have to get better at that.

[cedar moth]

Anyone can give you advice; but improvement is relative to the ability to learn from mistakes and re-attempt.

[quiet compass]

and knowing when to retreat or get a different angle mid fight

[atomic stag]

I know how to do that

[cold stump]

not really just that, maybe also you just dont gel with solos

[cedar moth]

Just have to keep grinding the axe and changing things in your engagements.

[neat thunder]

Work on your gamesense. Whenever you hear noises, try to think about where on the map they could be. What level especially if there's multiple floors. Then based on that, think about where they're going to be going in order to reach you (or whatever they're going for) and intercept that path.

[zinc oxide]

Matchmaking 2 minutes... Killed 1 minute 🇮🇩 😔

[plucky finch]

I love how Nona tells me bedtime stories 🥺🥺🥺

[cold stump]

i freaking hate solos they are so unfun, but trios are fun asf

[vestal torrent]

until you start a game on Dire Marsh

[quiet compass]

solos maKes me want to peel my face off

[cedar moth]

Solos are stressful, but the stress and hunt is fun for me.

[atomic stag]

If it's my fault for playing crew fill then yeah, sure, three stacks are better. But crew fill is a fundamental part of the game.

[cold stump]

nah dire marsh trios are fun unless you get That team

[neat thunder]

complete opposite for me, solos at least I live or die based on my own decisions and not whether my autofills have mics and a functioning brain

[quiet compass]

ill die 75% of the time in a fill. LFG is a vast difference

[plucky finch]

I like solos because when I trade with another player we can play footsies

[atomic stag]

I stopped playing solos once I did all of the story contracts

[cold stump]

oh i basically exclusively play trios with lfg and mics

[vestal torrent]

thermals, snipers, volleys, folliage, if i wanted to play that kind of map i would play pubg

[obsidian wyvern]

Best loot ever playing solo

[versed mirage]

GG asia no one playing 🙁

[obsidian wyvern]

And no chance of getting toxic teammates.

[atomic stag]

Every single multiplayer game has random matchmaking, and that's always going to be the main way people engage. So if that experience is a nightmare then it's a problem with the game's design.

[neat thunder]

the only annoying thing about solos is you get like 1/3 the xp for the same time spent. I get more xp from a failed trio run that ends in 10min than I do in a full 25min extract with 15k worth of goods in solo

[cold stump]

thermals and snipers are getting a nerf, i hope they crank the flinch super high, snipers are WAY too strong at dueling, you have to land all your shots and they just have to land one

[sand rampart]

I figured you would be. Alas, i am a skeptic at heart myself, though I can definitely appreciate some esoteric reading from time to time.

[cedar moth]

The issue is the expectation that random fills are going to be at your skill level or better. They’re random; not skill-based.

That’s not a reflection of the game, but the player base.

[cold stump]

i mean how do you design your way out of bad teammates, sbmm is just gonna give you even worse teammates to balance for your own skill

[versed mirage]

bungie dont like gun fight since halo and destiny

[atomic stag]

Yeah it's too late for any sort of solution to this.

[tawdry kraken]

Venom rook is the most tragic of them all

[cinder rose]

She’s designed to tell you what you want to hear!

[neat thunder]

in most games, bad teammates are just a momentary frustration b/c they're gone when the lobby is over. In this game, they're at least partially responsible for all the gear I'm bringing in.

[atomic stag]

They shouldn't even do level based mm they should just have it be fully random based on connection strength

[neat thunder]

there's a reason most extraction shooters aren't designed around trios, and certainly not around auto-fill trios

[sand rampart]

Nona only has our best interests at heart.

[obsidian wyvern]

I think the best thing to do is add ppl you played with that worked well with you. Already a feature.

[alpine crown]

I used to have a thing for the occult and that title would float around in some of the circles I was in. Probably should read it for fun but I imagine it's pretty dense material and I low-key suck at reading dense material in a timely manner. God damn I'm sleepy 💤

[reef marsh]

there are two ways to get better:

1. learning from mistakes. this is the lesser of the two options; negative reinforcement only teaches you so much as you experienced

2. playing more to your strengths and developing them. even if you die in the engagement, think about what you did that was good. IE, were you about to kill a guy because you had a good vantage point but lost a 1v2?

play and develop what you see as positives too.

[cedar moth]

I mean… technically the expectation is holding your own for your own gear.

[cold stump]

sometimes the mistake you're making in gameplay is that you're just not confident enough, move with a swagger and know in your heart that you will dumpster on people

[tawdry kraken]

Also doesn’t hurt to start with a joke for open trips. Most people actually have a mic on the PC side. Just need a cold open to get people going.

[atomic stag]

For what it's worth I don't have any animosity towards "sweats." They're the audience for the game, they're better than me, there's a lot of bs in this game most of the time they beat me fair and square. I also don't think the majority of players with good gear should be considered "sweats."

[unborn wigeon]

hi guys :3

[neat thunder]

Sure, if you want to be extremely pedantic about it then yes, technically only I'm responsible for my own gear. In reality, you will need to rely on your teammates at least partially if you want to stay alive in most trio lobbies.

[atomic stag]

My mistake in fights is using the god damn retaliator

[tawdry kraken]

Also I never really went into a run expecting my gear back?

[eternal gust]

Yo does anyone know how much time the NuCaloric “shields and health take less time to use” shaves off of heals

[cedar moth]

That’s not being pedantic.

And to add, sure, but again this kind of behavior and teamwork is not directly incentivized or promoted.

[cold stump]

its a big mystery

[cold kelp]

Any gun besides bully that's in a sponsored kit is shit tier with no upgrades

[sand rampart]

You can only get better by doing. I can send you a pdf if you're too lazy to grab it yourself 😌 you can find good tidbits of life advice in the words of the eccentric

[atomic stag]

I play a lot of comp queue overwatch. The reason i'm not that good at that game is because my aim is bad. Simple.

[alpine siren]

lmgs as ive learned are only good for fightin bots because its just a massive mag dump into anythin with high health, against people youre better off usin most of the other weapons besides the copperhead, the overrun, the volt thrower, and i forget which pistol

[quiet compass]

i mean when the enemies all have shotguns and can pick off a teammate in one second, you gotta stick with your team

[tawdry kraken]

Also this is the game you NEED a headset for. Like I’ve been a console guy for a while before making the PC switch. But it’s never been easier for consoles to use things like earbuds and just LISTENING for other players

[proper storm]

Just had a bit of an idea that might be cool for late game storage, but what if we were able to craft our own sort of loadout kits similar to the sponsored kits but filled with loot that you’ve collected, I’d imagine you’d need to collect some sort of salvage and pay a lot of creds to make one but you’d be able to condense a full loadout into 4 slots and as someone whose lowkey drowning in hightier loot it’d be nice to have a way to grind in order to condense down my blue/purple loot without having to just sell it/donate it to swap with golds

[alpine siren]

hello :3

[cedar moth]

And it’s funny; you say they’re responsible for your gear, but then are you not responsible for theirs? If they die, is it not partially your fault, too?

[atomic stag]

The lmg is the arachne kit and that was the free one today. Really opened my eyes as to how dogshit it is.

[tawdry kraken]

It’s fine

[alpine crown]

Facts. I think I know where to find it, thank you though I'm gonna pass TF out now, I'm falling asleep at my desk lmao

[gusty bolt]

shut up nobody cares

[neat thunder]

My point is that if I bring in 5k worth of gear and my teammates are freekits with no mics, I am at a significant disadvantage in protecting the gear I came in with than if I had matched with players who also brought in their own kits and were willing to communicate.

In that way, a bad teammate in an extraction shooter is much more frustrating than a bad teammate in a traditional arena shooter

[alpine siren]

better than most of the other freekits i wont lie to yuo. they really do be givin you straight trash in these kits

[sand rampart]

The retaliator is goated actually, you might suck

[atomic stag]

I mean I do suck

[tawdry kraken]

What’s cool is there’s a channel in this server for finding people. It’s really easy to find people I’ll say.

[quiet compass]

i like the retaliator

[cedar moth]

You rolled the dice, you paid the price.

[atomic stag]

But if I dump an entire bully or m77 mag into somebody they die. 40 retaliator bullets don't do anything to a runner.

[neat thunder]

yeah man good luck using that for cryo if you mostly play solos and so aren't level 100 yet

[alpine crown]

I care 🥺 stfu

[alpine siren]

thats not very nice

[cold stump]

it is incredibly frustrating but there are ways to avoid it

[calm wren]

is best way purple salvage lock rooms and cryo map ?

[atomic stag]

I think cryo lfg people need to get over themselves. "Be level 100+." Do you hear yourself.

[neat thunder]

I'm confused, you now seem to be arguing my point for me.

Maybe you missed the context, but we were talking about how bad teammates in random matchmaking are much more punishing in this genre than others, so you're agreeing with the point I was making.

[tawdry kraken]

I’ve used it for outpost raids and have had no problem. To each their own I guess…

[fresh bough]

it’s not hard moron

[alpine siren]

you know what i didnt include the hardline like i shouldve

[cedar moth]

And as I said before; if the expectation is that they should be partially responsible for protecting your gear, should the same responsibility not fall on you to protect theirs?

[proper storm]

poi’s will have a chance to have certain purple salvage in random chests but also yea key rooms and cryo will have way more

get a job

[atomic stag]

I don't think i'm dying to super fast twitchy aimbot people but the fact that I play console means i'm at an inherent disadvantage against pc players. A pretty sizable one at that. Maybe if I turn crossplay off i'll fare better but idk if i'm willing to sit in queue for an hour.

[sand rampart]

Cryo is endgame btw. have you hit endgame yet?

[cedar moth]

You are the better geared player in the crew; the expectation is that you lead the free kits to better gear so they can have a greater fighting chance.

[atomic stag]

Yes i've successfuly ran cryo maybe 7 times and have opened one vault

[zinc oxide]

Successfully killed 1 runner again, After so many days

[cedar moth]

But, luck of the draw says you don’t always get the best competency. There’s not much you can do about it to begin with so better to make best of a bad hand, no?

[neat thunder]

I have no idea what point you're making, because it seems to have nothing to do with what we're talking about

I said that bad teammates in this game increase the chance of me losing gear I brought into the lobby, you're saying I should be protecting their gear too? Sure, if they weren't mostly using freekits that'd be applicable.

[alpine siren]

1 of many skins to come

[brittle imp]

Mida kit is heat tho

[atomic stag]

Get rid of the gray kits and make a daily rotating green one free.

[plucky finch]

Noooo don't say that about nomommy

[alpine siren]

mida kit is the best kit

[atomic stag]

I honestly think the gray kits are too bad and put you at too much of a disadvantage. Not just the shield, having barely 1.5 mags of ammo and basically no heals is a huge deal.

[cedar moth]

You’re dodging.

I’m saying that yes, bad teammates lower the chance, but you’re coming at it from the perception that you’re the only relevant player in the crew and as if you’re more valuable than the rest.

[final peak]

Never again will I trust a rando who wants to push for pinwheel. It is always bait.

[alpine siren]

say that to the free bully mida gives you lmao

[cinder rose]

It’s true. My friend, the other AI chatbot, told me!

[atomic stag]

You chew through ammo on that thing so fast

[neat thunder]

I'm coming at it from the perspective that me bringing actual gear in has more to lose than teammates with freekits, yes

[quasi warren]

you chew through people on that thing so fast

[cold stump]

tbf thats the only downside the bully has

[atomic stag]

Yeah you're objectively more valuable bc you have higher gear value lol

[cedar moth]

Then you’d be hard pressed to make best of a bad hand.

Lead them to gear so they can better defend yours.

It’s what I’d do, anyway.

Also maybe don’t bring expensive kits with the expectation that your hand is always going to be a full house.

[atomic stag]

I have no horse in this race. I think the free kit vs expensive kit issue is an irreconcilable difference.

[proper storm]

With a single mag upgrade that problem is solved (it chews through purple shields in just one mag if you’ve got like even half decent aim bc its aim assist is so high)

[cold stump]

in the open alpha the bully was a freaking monster, its definitely an industry plant weapon made by a rogue bungie weapons designer

[atomic stag]

The bully also has far more range than you'd assume, that thing is a laser across certain rooms

[zinc oxide]

Want to flex matrix III

[neat thunder]

You seem to be arguing against a point I've never made, so I'm just going to leave you to it

[proper storm]

Yea esp with mods shit gets like 50m of range which is more than the base m77 I think 😭

[alpine siren]

i use my bully so damn much that i use up all of my ammo instead of my 10 billion light ammo every time without fail

[atomic stag]

I have to commend them for making a bunch of really strong and awesome feeling weapons that don't feel like destiny weapons at all.

[cedar moth]

I’m not arguing; I’m offering solutions to your problem.

[alpine siren]

i take back my comment i had made about chosin the m77 over the bully. the bully is hands down my favorite

[proper storm]

The bully and I are in a deep love affair

[atomic stag]

The Volley rifle feels ripped right out of D2 and the tactical sidearm has a bit of D2 sidearm dna with the kickback. Besides this all of the guns feel uniquely Marathon.

[frail heath]

Its the BR

[atomic stag]

I never played halo so I don't have a frame of reference

[proper storm]

Yea a lot of the guns got halo dna

[graceful pollen]

blasphemi

[celest mountain]

They are free get your bread up

[faint temple]

How many players spawn into a solo perimeter game??

[atomic stag]

The BR they put in D2 feels floatier and doesn't have the same crunch

[proper storm]

9 or 10 I believe

[atomic stag]

100

[celest mountain]

see 1 more guy saying free kits aernt strong enough imma lose it

[calm wren]

ok thanks. is lockdown crate drop purple loot also ? I know about but not tried yet

[atomic stag]

3 depleted patch kits is too weak man

[celest mountain]

They are free 99 flip that shit and fry a blue squad

[alpine siren]

you get 10 billion de patch kits everywhere you go

[atomic stag]

If you are on a free kit you will fully run out of every resource during the first team fight-- often during the first wave of bot clearing

[zenith rapids]

play it smart

[proper storm]

I think the first lockdown is blues mostly second is purples and the third has a good chance of golds but tbh I have not tested enough to know fs

[zenith rapids]

dont run into gunfights iwth a free kit i think thats pretty obvious

[calm wren]

ok interesting? is cool system, maybe not good for solo. good info anyway

[atomic stag]

The gunfights run into you

[sterile palm]

Any news about cheater problem or is ranked still unplayable?

[celest mountain]

Id say this is fair and correct the heals need to be increased slightly and im only saying slightly because free kits aernt a reward and shouldn’t give you any happiness

[rocky cape]

are those the only two options?

[thin glen]

no news lol

[alpine siren]

you need to start learnin to knife bots lmao

[proper storm]

Yea as a fellow solo player it is really really hard to do all three most of the time you’re gonna get someone coming into one of the lockdowns and fucking it up for you

[atomic stag]

A lot of takes about the game boil down to "don't shoot your gun in an fps"

[quartz python]

game is so dead holy shit

[sterile palm]

👍

[alpine siren]

this is an extraction shooter. its so significantly more careful with what you do. this isnt cod

[celest mountain]

Im sorry? You don’t waste ammo or time using a knife wdf u mean

[atomic stag]

I don't have a skill issue with free kits I know how to play with one i'm just saying they start you off a little bit too weak

[calm wren]

I cannot play trio, is too low framerate I detriment team :( can only watch

[atomic stag]

Eventually you are going to have to shoot something and/or get shot at, and that moment usually comes very quickly

[celest mountain]

I get auto queues on every map I genuinely don’t understand what pc players are going through but since im the “minority” I play cross and just get queues in 30 seconds

[final peak]

It's the most money efficient loadout in the game.

[atomic stag]

Of course I know how to knife the bots

[thin glen]

i had a dream last night that ranked is a trap, it's being used as bait to funnel all the cheaters into it so bungie slams them all at once
then i woke up and went to work

[empty fiber]

I know a lot of people feel different, but I get a little giddy when NuCalaoric and Sekiguchi free kits are in rotation.

[reef topaz]

Why is my green sheild sometimes one full bar and sometimes two bars?

[sterile palm]

PC players are currently going through 10 cheaters in each map and each lobby 👍

[agile oriole]

pretty sure this is basically what aztecross said

[atomic stag]

I saw somebody say they should just pull the plug on ranked this season and I agree

[proper storm]

That’s very fair I lowkey would say you can still have a lot of value in abilities on certain shells even if you’re not able to aim as well due to fps but if you’re sticking to solos I very much recommend going outpost and doing pinwheel for loot gathering it’s by far the best way for solos

[final peak]

Streamer

Opinion discarded.

[thin glen]

whoever that is he seems cool and probably some kind of witch that reads my dreams

[celest mountain]

There are reinforced shields and protector shields

[sterile palm]

Your brain is replaced by a brick?

[calm wren]

ay ay capitan 🫡

[agile oriole]

and yea im plat and it is TERRIBLE

[atomic stag]

They could frame it as an "experiment" bc it hasn't been done in an extraction shooter, and I guess I can buy that. But to be clear Ranked was not a "failed experiment" it's just a terrible poorly made experience.

[thin glen]

the single full bar is Reinforced, takes a little less damage and charges faster off a single shield pack consumable

[plucky finch]

My brain Is replaced with Nona's fairy tales

[sterile palm]

Im also plat, I dared to queue 1 ranked+ yesterday and got put into an Asian lobby and there was a team flying around in the map, Asian cheats are fucking rediculous

[agile oriole]

almost good enough to make me want to try them

[celest mountain]

She is genuinely after reproductive systems for shells why is nona so weird

[fresh bough]

nona bad afff 🫦

[vestal torrent]

are there any other extraction games where you can get 2 shotted by a weapon lmao

[cinder rose]

Could an AI desire to become human and thus become more humane that us: actual consciousness that have become synthetic?

[half tusk]

wait people actually think this game has a crazy skill gap lol

[final peak]

Every gun one shots you in Tarkov. Y'know, the first one.

[agile oriole]

tarkov

[brittle imp]

Help i found a my first cryo key and i cant even grab it cuz of where its sitting

[sterile palm]

You get 1 shot by most guns in tarkov, if you like that more

[empty fiber]

Hunt Showdown

[half tusk]

arc

[final peak]

Tarkov has snipers that actually kill in one shot, and no scope glint to loudly warn you that someone is using a sniper.

[fast bloom]

In UNC Raiders the TTK is so long it takes 3-5 business days to kill someone

[neat thunder]

literally every single one

[final peak]

And you get actively punished by the developers for daring to do the pvp in the pvp game that they intentionally added pvp to.

[surreal magnet]

it's more like ARC has absurd levels of desync that make you wait like 500ms for your kill to be confirmed.

[celest mountain]

The ai in marathon are as human as it gets the only thing missing is a physical body, which is actually doable. What I love about nona is she is as pure as it gets but still weird and obsessive over her experimentation

[neat thunder]

you can absolutely get 2-tapped in arc, by several weapons in both long and close range

[surreal magnet]

the TTK between ARC and Marathon isn't that different. it's just that endgame gear in ARC is far more accessible.

[turbid badger]

AI wanting to be human in the Marathon universe usually leads only to one result: Rampancy

[brittle imp]

Someone help me, i found a cryo archive key in a cubby buy i cant grab it

[sterile palm]

My favorite part is getting pissed on with fire
