D2 timeline where traveler goes to tau ceti confirmed

[tardy wraith]

Add the jõtunn

[mild elk]

Maybe if ur on triage otherwise its uh, unforgiving

[mortal sequoia]

How was everyone's week, ready for the weekend?

[wispy spindle]

This article has the clip but the direct quote was “you need to make sure all the female characters in the game are f***able” https://www.fandompulse.com/p/asmongold-says-marathon-needs-to

[halcyon mulch]

idk why people say the Retaliator is bad, it's a better overrun with a face shield mod really

[wise prawn]

The Mida kit has no right to be this good

[hollow jungle]

The base capacity is pretty low

[nocturne ginkgo]

i forgor marathon and destiny also technically do multiverse stuff. Sorry guy, was talking about Rivals.

[tardy wraith]

Prestige 75 scar is the equivalent of a blue m77. Shit mid, it looks cool doe.

[urban wraith]

Personally i really only enjoy the mida kits with bully

[opaque zealot]

I look in LFC cryo and everyone is like "looking for 7, level 900+, I have 800 red keys, dont message me if you're under platinum demon ultramurder rank 1" so i get discouraged

[mild elk]

Retaliator is amazing, the one u can barter w Arachne is great

[sacred narwhal]

You really aren't supposed to use the Scar at the M77's built in scope's range tho

[wise prawn]

Green/blue retaliator is pretty underrated

[sinful prawn]

Are the servers down? I'm getting error code paprika

[carmine totem]

I mean I think they already are but Im also a Tali romancer in every playthrough 🗣️

[sacred narwhal]

The Scar is inarguably better than the M77 at close-mid range with all headshots

[hollow jungle]

No problem I was thinking you were talking about marathon

[tardy wraith]

If its less than m77 range than there're other guns that excel at better like Bully

[wispy spindle]

Who cares about the females? Have you seen my man Destroyer?

[wise prawn]

I hate the firerate of the scar

[hollow jungle]

Hope the next runner is balanced at launch

[carmine totem]

I do because I'm straight 🗿

[opaque zealot]

🤤

[tardy wraith]

Saying retaliator is bad is the take of all time. Its literally like arguably the best lmg in the game. If retaliator is bad than all the other lmgs are bad lmao

[sacred narwhal]

It can compete with the bully due to the subtle aimbot tracking and headshot damage

[alpine crown]

🧘‍♀️ My luck is pretty alright, I still have bad games from time to time lmao

[hollow jungle]

Vandal wife needed tbh

[wispy spindle]

As long as you keep your socks on its all good, don’t worry

[wise prawn]

The bully just shoots way faster

[tardy wraith]

Didnt they buffed the projectile speed this update.

[nocturne ginkgo]

I prefer the conquest/conqueror whatever it is, but retaliator is good. I have Salt Wages, the unique one, and it's base Fire Rate feels like the Conquest.

[carmine totem]

Anytime I lose a close to mid range gunfire in this game with something other than a bully I tell myself if I had a bully I would've won it and generally I would be right. The bully is a monster

[gritty lichen]

People say this because a gray retaliator is terrible, but if you kit it out it becomes really good

[tiny dust]

guys why is solo outpost queues so long rn

[opaque zealot]

every time i lose a gunfight i tell myself that my teammates are terrible, even in solos and rook runs

[carmine totem]

What do you think 🛌🏽

[wise prawn]

You're basically unkilable with a well built retaliator

[tiny dust]

it wasn’t like this yesterday sir 🥣

[ebon wave]

Damn guess it was just bugged then

[thin glen]

is M77 prestige mod fixed?

[sacred narwhal]

I wish i could use the Bully more close range but any time i get the opportunity i am met with one or two WSTR shots to the face

[gritty lichen]

It’s good in solos, the shield is ridiculously good

[crimson inlet]

It's a mid range weapon tho

[tardy wraith]

Conquest sounds like a waste of ammo as u need to be shooting in cover first before u peek. The issue with that is its telegraped asl if the enemy understands what kind of gun it is off sounds and rpm.

[opaque zealot]

thats what i get whenever i dare use the circuit breaker (i thought it was good, but it seems ultra situational)

[wise prawn]

Even in crew, you can hold angles and they can't do shit about it

[wispy spindle]

Nah she wouldn’t even be a good roommate

[sacred narwhal]

Well good luck keeping anyone with a WSTR at "mid-range" because they always end up closer than you'd like

[carmine totem]

What woman is tbf

[nocturne ginkgo]

I'm not mocking you I'm just gonna rephrase what you said:

"People say this because a grey gun is terrible, but if you kit it out it becomes really good"

Like not joking that statement applies just across the board. Yes some unmodded guns are better than others, but they all suck against any actual retaliation.

[boreal arch]

Teammate got a subordinate 5 off of a dead body , we take those heheh

[wispy spindle]

5 is one of the easy of the gold ones too

[boreal arch]

Oh i see

[cyan sonnet]

Nothing better than loading into dire marsh with 2 chem grenades and a punch to do a contract, only to find a runner wearing my things and getting them back

[sacred narwhal]

Speaking of good weapons I'm glad the ares is useable now

[nocturne ginkgo]

Felwinter with the first message of the day

[wise prawn]

Well the pr's and magnum are just bad no matter how much you kit them

[opal silo]

the conquest is pretty situational, if you get a flank off with it you can wipe a 3 stack really fast but not having a magazine mod on it is the worst thing ever

[hollow jungle]

Don’t care as a wise gianni once said . I love a woman who can absolutely kill me

[frank sundial]

MARTON

[tardy wraith]

Finally, a useable bow.

[cyan sonnet]

MARTON

[nocturne ginkgo]

Magnum is bad if you're bad, PR is also bad if you're bad. Kitted out they are quite good weapons in the hands of a head shotting machine.

[wispy spindle]

We did like 8 runs, 1 vault 2 and like 6 vault 5 with only 2 fails, we just need subroutine 6 then compiler

[wise prawn]

At this point just run the longshot

[frank sundial]

God help me I think I’m becoming a Recon main

[wispy spindle]

Have you seen Recon?

[tardy wraith]

Magnum MC has more aura than a longshot

[hollow jungle]

True recon is also wife material but I like vandals eyes idk I just like eyes a lot

[carmine totem]

The magnum is just a hc from destiny so if you're good with those you'll be good with this. Just kit it out so it's not as sluggish

[sacred narwhal]

Magnum damage fall off is abysmal tho even if you land your shots consistently you'll be putting in way more effort to kill someone than you should

[nocturne ginkgo]

a scout rifle is more maneuverable and swift than a sniper is. PR shines in this category. Snipers are punishing if you miss, scouts aren't.

[wispy spindle]

Recon has 4 though, imagine 4 pretty eyes

[cyan sonnet]

I love the atmosphere of the underbelly of ai uplink

[timber bramble]

i might be dumb as hell but I just bought two cyac commendations from the armopry but i didnt get the xp?

[hollow jungle]

You’re right true but would be awkward to hug with that big helmet

[trim scaffold]

i also like red, and also red, also some more red

[nocturne ginkgo]

sidearm: "The damage fall off is abysmal"
Sorry I shouldn't be rude but like... you serious?

[urban wraith]

When blackbirds 4th eye opens up

[dusky cypress]

crew fill is literally a waste of time

[tardy wraith]

Is she right doe?

[cyan sonnet]

The lighting the sounds from the walls its spooky
Like im not supposed to be down here

[opal silo]

everyone says the hardline is bad because they spam the trigger while ADS. Plus its hipfire is insanely accurate and the RoF makes it better than any of the other precision rifles in CQC

[wispy spindle]

Not if she’s the taller one

[wise prawn]

What?

[sacred narwhal]

Look if im only able to three tap blue shields with headshots at the range where i can be two tapped with a WSTR then there is a problem

[nocturne ginkgo]

Yes, she's right, but it's a sidearm. It also has barrel attachments for the explicit purpose of increasing it's range.

[hollow jungle]

How tall is recon since I’m like 6’1 feet tall

[wispy spindle]

We are in gen chat, don’t take things seriously

[sacred narwhal]

Every close range option is fake and fraudulent if it isn't the shotgun atp which is the real issue

[nocturne ginkgo]

so true, bestie.

[wise prawn]

This is stupid, there is no point in carrying a sidearm if I can carry 2 solid guns

[dusky cypress]

the wstr might be the least balanced gun ive ever seen in a video game, pretty impresive work from bungo

[wispy spindle]

Sure… and I’m 6’3”

[nocturne ginkgo]

Some people like a close range side arm, the Magnum is exactly that, a close to mid range side arm with good kill and finish potential.

[hollow jungle]

I am tho? lol

[wise prawn]

Well at this range you're in a serious disadvantage against any shotgun or smg

[sacred narwhal]

Magnum's ability to compete in the mid range is insanely lacking which is what i was mentioning earlier

[wispy spindle]

Mhm

[errant cedar]

Obama have dih

[dusky cypress]

short chud cant imagine someone being tall unlucky

[hollow jungle]

Heck probably taller if I didn’t slouch and my back wasn’t bad

[nocturne ginkgo]

true, but it's about preference and options. What you choose isn't what everyone chooses and that's kind of the point... right?

[mortal sequoia]

Do people live in a simulation?

[dark rampart]

Yes

[wise prawn]

I mean yeah, but it's really not a viable option, when you're basically gonna lose all your fights

[tardy wraith]

I think its balanced. I think its the combination of other stuff that make it seem unbalanced to the average player like map design, no wallbangs and bubbles.

[dusky cypress]

oneshotting to the head through the second best shield in the game is not balanced, idc

[wispy spindle]

I’m tall enough but you can literally say whatever you want here? Also what’s your deal? Can’t even outrun a shotgun smh my head

[sacred narwhal]

Maybe we're supposed to enjoy getting killed in Flight Control by Vandal/Destroyers sliding or dashing thru a doorway with WSTRs..

[nocturne ginkgo]

Sure, if you're bad and miss your head shots.

[tardy wraith]

Thats if u give it slug rounds and thats fair game since its a double barreled.

[urban wraith]

May i introduce to you the gnasher shotgun from gears of war 1 on Xbox 360

[tardy wraith]

One thing i will say abt the Wstr tho is it feels like it should swap places with the circuit breaker. Hell, even make the misirah more common with no rate of fire mod built in.

[alpine plaza]

tried another round after 2 or 3 weeks not playing...
still dont like it
ragebait

[hollow jungle]

They should make a limited mode that gives players a wstr an 4 shots with no bots spawn so only way to get ammo is murking players

[sacred narwhal]

The WSTR oneshots thru blue shields with no attachments lol you don't need slugs.

[wispy spindle]

You’re insane, the other shotguns are way better. They just have a proper skill curve. The WSTR is only prevalent because it’s brain dead to use. Misriah over WSTR every day.

[mild elk]

If u wanna shadow nerf it, just make it 8 slots lol

[tardy wraith]

Wrd, he said the best shield in the game tho. I think it can with the slugs.

[hollow jungle]

Honestly destroyer is my body goal

[wise prawn]

Also it's way more common than the other shottys. Tho the gold wstr is a monster with that range

[sacred narwhal]

The Misriah kinda sucks I'm ngl it always seems to take like way too many shots to down a person compared to the WSTR at equivalent range.

[urban wraith]

Now we're also nerfing vault space

[wispy spindle]

You have to be joking right?

[delicate sierra]

anyone know how to do the recent proxity chat menu tech its not working for me

[tardy wraith]

Modded misirah>Modded Wstr>Early Wstr>Early Misirah

[hollow jungle]

Get me a destroyer body with a vandal wife pronto

[winter sundial]

what faction do you guys think is the hardest to get rep for

[celest ferry]

tbf bungie also shadownerfed compiler loot room without saying a thing

[mild elk]

That’s my whole point, it won’t be used as frequently

[umbral oyster]

Short king 🥀

[barren tulip]

its got more range than the WSTR

[wise prawn]

What about gold misriah vs gold wstr

[hollow jungle]

Same I think it’s bugged

[umbral oyster]

If you aren't good at pvp then arachne

[mild elk]

Gold mis

[vestal wyvern]

Man i cannot find the last vault 6 key

[wispy spindle]

Gold misriah is auto, it’s not even a question lol

[sacred narwhal]

Used misriah with deluxe mods a handful of times in Cryo and each time I would chunk someone's health with two center mass body shots and they'd not go down, which doesn't happen with the WSTR.

[urban wraith]

So.. you want to just screw everything into the ground not rebalance a single weapon

[wise prawn]

Have you seen the range of the gold wstr?

[barren tulip]

100something hours and i still am at traxus lvl3, im sure its not too bad if i did more traxus contracts tho

[thin glen]

nah man, wstr slug has some insane range on it

[mild elk]

I don’t like it, aim cone feels horrible

[sacred narwhal]

LEVEL 3?!

[delicate sierra]

wstr slugs with ammo bag is genuinely insane

[barren tulip]

been completely ignoring it whoops

[wise prawn]

Then it's down to preference

[hollow jungle]

Saw a vid of a dude sniping with it in marsh

[spare rune]

I think wstr is pretty decent at where its at but its a bit too easy to obtain. Its dominant up close but anywhere more than 3ft its helpless. If it misses just one of it's shots you're done. Also pls buff the circuit breaker? I don't see anypoint using it unless it has the gold attachment over the misriah and wstr. Also misriah is a beast.

[wispy spindle]

🥀 🥀 the point was not that I’m short, the point was that no one can prove anything and can say whatever they want

[sacred narwhal]

How do you equip yourself with any decent AR/Sniper/Precision rifle mods atp

[echo bough]

Nu and Traxus are the most boring contracts imo

[wise prawn]

The wstr can get some serious range with mods

[barren tulip]

somehow i just find em, its been dumb luck

[vestal wyvern]

circuit breaker its kinda weird sometimes its a good weapon and bad at the same time

[hollow jungle]

Does id have height?

[tardy wraith]

Circuit breaker prestige is good cuz it can pierce through bubbles but yeah, this why i said the circuit breaker feel like it should swap places with the wstr because the circuit breaker is the weakest shotgun in the game dat requires brain power to use.

[wispy spindle]

If you think for a second sending an ID in this gen chat is a good idea…

[hollow jungle]

Gosh no id crop everything but the height

[slate pagoda]

When do the reputation packs reset? I've been waiting 2 days for one of my factions to come back in stock

[sacred narwhal]

I like the Stryder with a good scope. Probably the best precision rifle in the game.

[spare rune]

yeah the gold attachment which not everybody has bro but yes with the gold attachment its borderline broken but again, I spend my life getting that shit so it should at least be worth my time

[hollow jungle]

But I won’t post it since all that matters is I know I’m that tall

[errant cedar]

Have you used twin tap?

[spare rune]

I see your point which yea aligns with what I said about wstr being just too easy to obtain.

[hollow jungle]

I wonder if those birds you see on the maps are tasty

[wise prawn]

Yes they are

[tardy wraith]

You can lowkey turn a wstr and Misirah into the chaperone 2x if u build it right, shits insane

[sacred narwhal]

Every single time I've ever seen the twin tap one of my fills seems to really want it more than i do so no

[spare rune]

tried it. Got food poisoning the second day

[hollow jungle]

Didn’t cook it enough or something

[sacred narwhal]

Also the thing about the twin tap is that i have never killed anyone who carried it, I only see them in key rooms. It does NOT exist. Fake weapon.

[errant cedar]

You must steal it from them

[wise prawn]

Did you try cooking them?

[wispy spindle]

That doesn’t really mean anything: government IDs with 6’3” height

[spare rune]

nahh. I prob cooked it right. But was distracted again by recon's thighs. Fuck this game honestly because recon's curves kept on distracting me

[errant cedar]

I have a twin tap worth 15k

[hollow jungle]

I mean true but meh it don’t matter I know how tall I am and same with family and friends

[sacred narwhal]

Closest i have is an enduring H-AR worth 11k

[hollow jungle]

Honestly I don’t blame you at all

[errant cedar]

Is that gun good?

[spare rune]

yeah

[tardy wraith]

Its mid

[wispy spindle]

Yeah but have you seen destroyer?

[sacred narwhal]

If you hit headshots exclusively it's like a better M77 but you really cannot miss.

You also need a good scope*

[wise prawn]

I've never seen one therefore it doesn't exist

[tardy wraith]

H-AR is pretty inaccurate, bad ammo econ and has a slow rate of fire. If u can hit your headshots, then its ight but still pretty mid.

[spare rune]

the issue is that the gun is riculoulsy slow when ADS but you do get higher dmg and it has zero recoil if you used the recoil attachment build

[wispy spindle]

The unique channel rifle is 11.1K, pretty easy money for a gun that’s pretty terrible

[hollow jungle]

Vandal solos

[wise prawn]

Counterpoint Thief

[tardy wraith]

Channel rifle is the only sniper in the game to oneshot purple/golds if u charge it max level and hit the head.

[errant cedar]

Impact? More like midpact🤯🤯🤯

[spare rune]

thief and recon are the reasons why I play with one hand bro. Bungie needs to nerf their models

[wispy spindle]

Good luck sharing a house with a kleptomaniac, and vandal probably doesn’t clean up after her self or pay her half of rent

[hollow jungle]

Me with vandal ayooooo

[alpine siren]

ok not to be that person and bring this shit up but i just saw somethin thats let me know the "arc raiders is hemorrhagin numbers" isnt just made up. wtf goin on over there

[wispy spindle]

The Peanut guy stopped playing so hype died

[tardy wraith]

No content basically

[jovial heart]

They need to make the CARRI Event rep tokens 3 per day not 3 period.

[wise prawn]

Yeah bro

[spare rune]

Bro i just found that gem alert meme img but with recon and assassin

[dusky cypress]

its losing players but not 75% in a month level of players like this one 🙂

[hollow jungle]

Free kits aren’t balanced and such in my opinion on arc

[umbral oyster]

It was sarcasm I promise you are not short

[wise prawn]

Share now

[tardy wraith]

Apparently all Arc raiders been doing is add weather effects and nothing else tangible to the core experience. Mixed with the bad community Pr the game has gotten over the past month.

[hollow jungle]

Height in the end of the day don’t matter it’s soul and mind that does

[spare rune]

dm'd

[wispy spindle]

I’d prefer it if I was, I wish I could scurry, but that’s not really something “not short” people do.

[jovial heart]

the games got too many pve dads that rage out over dying. I wish there was text chat in that game because it would be INSANE

[hollow jungle]

Would have so many players banned lol

[jovial heart]

I would have so many salt pictures in a salt folder

[errant cedar]

Pls don't shoot 🥺🥺🥺

[sacred narwhal]

Arc having aggression based matchmaking was probably the lamest thing they could've done

[wise prawn]

Lot of toxic people in marathon too

[alpine siren]

wtf is aggresion based matchmakin

[nocturne ginkgo]

Get on the game, Hog Cranker, we have Hogs to Crank.

[jovial heart]

So

[hollow jungle]

If you attack players first you are put in matches with other aggressive players

[tardy wraith]

Exactly what it saids. You're matchmaked based off how hostile you're to other players.

[spare rune]

arc gets boring when you completed everything. You try to pvp and you feel guilty shooting friendly, you don't have other progressions and the pvp depth tbh is not comparable to marathon. I hop back to arc at times but nothings really giving me the urge to play on there. Marathon should not again should not lean for more pve. It can definitely rework mapsn and more routes for none or low pvp plays so more could join.

[jovial heart]

My name is CONTAGION, i'm all for the toxicity...

[wise prawn]

Marathon ain't better to arc in that regards

[silk kraken]

anyone else getting 20min match making times?

[wispy spindle]

Not even, it’s outcome based so if you win fights you go to aggressive lobbies. Don’t even have to start them

[alpine siren]

are you fr. thats a real thing. jesus christ

[drifting panther]

ello pls m'lord may i have a view? a parcel of a view for an old tarkov player? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfNL7DHTU7Y

[sacred narwhal]

You're more likely to be put in lobbies with aggressive PvP players if you routinely engage with PvP, and if you don't instigate fights you're more likely to get the peaceful "I'm friendly!"-spamming players in your lobbies

[wise prawn]

No

[jovial heart]

Yes it is. By far. I could get multiple rage outs in matches there. Here no one voips enough and so far if they do it's hilarious stuff

[errant cedar]

Cuz Game is for baby's 👶👶

[alpine siren]

that is so dumb lmao

[wispy spindle]

No

[hollow jungle]

Oh ok sorry didn’t know

[dusky cypress]

and yet it hasnt lost 75% of its player base in 5 weeks 🙂

[drifting panther]

simply a mosel of a view milord

[eager forum]

guys I was playing solo at exfil a guy started talking to me and we exfiled together I think it might be the first time it happens

[jovial heart]

If you loot bodies in Arc apparently you get pushed into aggressive matches lol

[sacred narwhal]

I just don't think Arc was meant to be an extraction shooter with PvP and it really shows

[nocturne ginkgo]

If by toxic, you mean "killed me when I wasn't ready" or "insulted me in game chat" I'll have to disagree.

If you mean "Called me slurs" or "intentionally griefed my run" then yeah, I'll agree.

[alpine siren]

i dont wanna be that person but kinda true now that im learnin that

[wise prawn]

Who cares, I'm finding matches in less than 2 mins

[wispy spindle]

Well it’s like what you said but worse, getting ambushed by a rat and killing them hurts you regardless of if you were gonna be aggressive or not

[spare rune]

thats new

[hollow jungle]

Sounds cringe

[wispy spindle]

the dumbest possible matchmaking

[cold kelp]

marathon needs pve mode or it die. True story bro

[wise prawn]

People raging when you kill them and calling racial slurs. And yeah griefers too

[alpine siren]

this guy thinks i give a shit about steam numbers fr and doesnt know i block steam chart people. i just wanted to know why arc was losin numbers fast

[jovial heart]

pve mode so all the pve andy's can do the content once then quit. cool

[wispy spindle]

Use free kit mode

[sacred narwhal]

Marathon needs to go F2P and tone down the difficulty of its pinnacle content to get players

[dusky cypress]

so weird that you brought up steam player counts but you block steam chart people? bronies low iq ig

[tardy wraith]

Ion think Marathon will ever lean more to PvE. It will always be a PvP first game. The UESC being stale and only being truly threatening as alarm systems vocals that very well. I hope tho Bungie can add more to the PvE tho while also still being PvP first with all things considered. Cuz the PvE is way inferior to that of Arc raiders rn.

[nocturne ginkgo]

then yeah I'll agree. I just hear "toxic" thrown aroung by players who announce their presence by voiping and get surprised when they're hunted down and slaughtered.

[spare rune]

marathon doesn't bro. What marathon could do is make playstyles thats low or none pvp more available to players but thats my opinion.

[hollow jungle]

D2 reference?

[sacred narwhal]

I hate to say it but this game isn't ever gonna pull in new players lol we're what's left.

[alpine siren]

skin people. dont feel guilt just skin

[dusty cloud]

New gamemode is goated

[nocturne ginkgo]

"Marathon doesn't need a PvE mode, it's need a PvE mode" ahh argument

[sacred narwhal]

If you didn't stick around after the first month you aren't gonna come back

[hollow jungle]

I think next season will bring in lots of players

[spare rune]

you give people more breathing room so when they wanna pvp they can bro. Learn to read

[gray forum]

I’m a new player bud mid season is really hard especially if you don’t have a squad and crew fill. The amount of times people don’t even ping enemy runners is insane.

[sacred narwhal]

Next season might bring back existing players who quit playing for one reason or another but entirely new players? Probably not. It's too sweaty to draw in a bigger crowd in its current state.

[tardy wraith]

There's still possibility. Bungie needs to focus on accessibility while not watering down the difficulty. Adding dynamic content can go a long way.

[alpine siren]

if marathon got shut down tomorrow i wouldnt be angry because id say i got my moneys worth. i already got 125 hours

[nocturne ginkgo]

You are suggesting what a PvE mode is dude, you're genuinely fucking bluffing 😭

[errant cedar]

What they need to do is put the game on mobile like fortnite🧠🧠🧠

[jovial nova]

It would pull in "new" players if they had a dedicated "learning/training" simulator experience with something that say, from levels 1-30 is the same as the OG Overwatch "learning" mode where your stuff goes back to your vault after exfil if you're meeting certain requirements and a tutorial mode/training/shooting range that lets you USE weapons/mods/test them against targets at range while also guiding newbies through "what does what" per se.

[sacred narwhal]

I don't want it to shut down.. i won't allow it.. 😡 🤬🤬

[jovial nova]

I don't want new players FYI, I'm just saying that's what it would take

[ebon wave]

Bruh so mad theres a key right in front of me but the ui is bugged cant pick it up

[fervent vine]

i am shutting it down tomorrow

[spare rune]

PVE mode literally has no actual players or you're suggesting a mode thats more leaning to pvpve with less PVP dominant gameplay. Thats the issue with marathon for me now. Many new players refuses to join the game because its a meat grinder and rewards people who fight. I'm not suggesting a PVE mode where you only fight AI can you read??

[errant cedar]

I hope your heart shuts down tomorrow 😁😁😁

[tardy wraith]

If Bungie rlly wanted this game to go mainstream, they shouldve had more modes with the product other than extraction.

[fervent vine]

[spare rune]

didn't they plan the game to be rpg leaning originally?

[clever bluff]

Is it possible to have marathon display my steam name instead of my PSN name or am I cooked

[orchid garnet]

No joke it's actually insane how incompetent some people are at this game. That's just any bungie game at this point because holy shit I shouldn't have to explain everything most simplistic way possible for them to still not get it. Pve mode will bring back all the mouth breather chuds and no one wants that. We already have enough as is

[hollow jungle]

You think traxus lady ever had tacos?

[fervent vine]

like a campaign 🥹

[sacred narwhal]

Whatever happens I just hope Bungie never lets Vandals shoot while sliding

[nocturne ginkgo]

A PvE mode isn't an absence of players, it's absence of player vs player combat dude. You're uneducated, please man... Destiny is largely a PvE game and other players are around in the sandbox with you all the time, The Divison is PvE and players are around the open world all the time, like be real dude.

[tardy wraith]

Idk bout dat. All i know is hardcore extraction is too niche to be mainstream. More modes is a no brainer in how u get mfs to spend.

[spare rune]

I won't have high expectations for that bro old bungie is long gone😭

[hollow jungle]

Or is she more of a protein bowl kind of person?

[errant cedar]

Why everyone saying this game is a failure but neither Sony nor Bungie has said anything other than they will continue to support it🤔🤔🤔

[jovial heart]

if they do they learned nothing from destiny

[hollow jungle]

I liked the Star Wars dlc in d2 felt like a actual expansion

[orchid garnet]

@fervent vine what food then lmao

[errant cedar]

Bungie still here guys they just made marathon

[tardy wraith]

This wouldve break. The issue is this will like 3x increase the budget and ion think executives wanted to do allat

[ebon wave]

Buggy ass open cabinets pissing me off. Why do I have to be at the perfect angle to collect something. Some of them you cant get to the correct angle. If I can see the item name I should be able to pick it up end of storu smh

[spare rune]

And thats something I said you don't do for marathon. The whole point is to keep the PVP but provide actual routes that allows players to play and grow before they wanna pvp in the first place. Again, if you don't wanna play PVP just try a safer route that allows you to loot and become rich. Less resources spent. If you want a true PVE mode thats just gonna get stale fast bro.

[tardy wraith]

Cuz this game is objectively a financial failure. Still a good game doe

[alpine siren]

imagine they took a number from titanfall 1 and you could do multiplayer campaigns. youre goin through game events but you still have to contend against other runners

[hollow jungle]

Cooking hard

Also you want a separate PVE world you gotta look at the financial situation for bungie currently. If you think they can pull it off then it'd be a miracle. Destiny 2 was a lifeline for marathon and its gone now basically.

[hollow jungle]

Why didn’t I think of that

[open willow]

I run on cyberacme. Do you?

Who’d she share it with

[nocturne ginkgo]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SUGGESTING, WHAT KIND OF CONFOUNDING ALIEN LANGUAGE WAS YOU SPEAKING.

It looks like english, it sounds like english when I speak it out loud, but you are literally incomprehensible.

"I'm not saying add a PvE mode to the game, I'm saying add a PvE mode to the game to ease players in before the PvP"

Like what? What are you talking about? Genuinely? I don't understand and at this point I don't want to.

[tardy wraith]

Book emoji is frying me

[jovial heart]

There is a pve mode to the game to ease players into it

[open willow]

there are modes with less players, including one only available to beginners

im currently in the purposeful business of praising Cyberacme

[fervent vine]

[bleak zodiac]

🫃

[hollow jungle]

You confuse me

[tardy wraith]

😭

[spare rune]

because the game is just pvp centric at this time. You fight or you don't get meaningful progress or basically you don't make much money at all. Tarkov literally has alternate routes because the map doesn't just put all the loot n shit in one big pvp heavy area and its spreaded out for a reason. I'm asking marathon to do that. Rework the maps for different play styles so not every single run you have to kill someone for meaningful shits. Simple as that and how is that PVE??

[open willow]

i am disgusted by this, nucal shill

[jovial heart]

What more even needs to be explained that can't easily be figured out.

[alpine siren]

this chat is genuinely incapable of readin a full paragraph. to them thats an essay

[wise prawn]

I book emoji'd it because imo what fly is saying is very much understandable. I'm making a comment on Jeanne's ability to read

[open willow]

its the whole dictionary

[hollow jungle]

Nucal mida collab would just be nachos with Exploding flavor feel radical with this cheesy tick sauce goodness

mpreg is a way to tell YOUR story about your vault and the struggles you faced as a single runner in crewfill

Yo, anyone else have times where your teammates can't hear you/they hear muffled audio from your mic? Keep having issues where important comms are getting lost

all good, I just get a giggle out of it

[hollow jungle]

My heart belongs to mida but I’m fat as heck and want food and think nucal is good

[wise prawn]

Bro idk, but the first time I played the tutorial, I genuinely considered uninstalling and never touching the game again

[jovial heart]

🫃 is for losers so it's fitting for MIDA

[nocturne ginkgo]

literally not what you were saying earlier, and this already exists in the form of key rooms. You speak of Tarkov like it's some perfect game where you can traverse the map in some perfect way where you'll never see a soul when that's just not true. You can do the same in Marathon, eventually you will run into people in some run doing the route you do every game. It happens in tarkov, it happens in arc, it happens here in marathon.

Every day I am surprised by how unintelligent people are.

[ebon wave]

Bruh I love getting teamed up on in solos smh

[open willow]

I run on cyberacme. Do you?

[jovial heart]

Did you die in it?

[wise prawn]

No

[runic sinew]

Mpreg is when you get attacked by that stupid flying uesc toaster and it injects you with SLOW.

I hate getting injected with slow...

[hollow jungle]

Everything runs on cyberacme so technically yeah

[jovial heart]

What was the problem?

[nocturne ginkgo]

I run on fent.

[tardy wraith]

Arent Marathon's maps smaller in scale than Tarkov. Ik the maps in Hunt showdown are big asf doe.

[alpine crown]

My homies always think it's slurping you up rather than injecting you

[open willow]

So no need for inferior Nucaloric product, yes?

[ebon wave]

I got ran up on by genuinely 6 people running together in a solos...

[alpine siren]

no i run on the ground like some kinda runner...... in some kinda..... marathon......

[hollow jungle]

The slow is a little runner in yo tummy

[tidal crest]

I run to vent

[open willow]

I run on mtn dew and doritos, oh wait wrong game

[nocturne ginkgo]

Yeah they are, and a lot of the game design pushes PvP towards each other, but there are routes you can take that give you solid loot and avoid most conflict most times as long as you're vigilant.

[hollow jungle]

Idk I like nachos and mida and nucal provides it

[thin glen]

i run on IBS

[ebon wave]

At least I took two of em down with me

[open willow]

[tardy wraith]

Maps so big in Hunt, that shit will genuinely take u like 7+ minutes starting from the top and making yo way down

[knotty fiber]

WE ARE SO BACK GUYS I JUST LOST EVERYTHING IN CRYO TWICE JUST TO KILL 2 SQUADS THE THIRF TIME! WENT FROM ITS SO OVER TO I MIGHT GET OFF TO WE ARE SO BACK

[wise prawn]

Honestly I don't know, it was not fun at all and plays nothing like the actual gameplay of the game

[alpine siren]

i like to kill and skin and eat people

[ebon wave]

I feel like the map size in this game is perfect, not too big, not too small

[runic sinew]

Hm... ngl... it probaly injects the slow so it can imobilize and suck you.

Thats prob the strat

[open willow]

I run on outpost and die

[knotty fiber]

How it feels to run to an exfil in 1 minute

[jovial heart]

Flying tentacle monster is to expose people around the map because you can hear taht noise 6 blocks away

[knotty fiber]

I love my tentacle monster

[wise prawn]

How it feels on rook when you miss it by 20 meters

[runic sinew]

No running in the halls

[ebon wave]

I wish more people would exfil together for the bonus commendations tho, multiple times ive announced myself and offered to exfil for them and people just fight anyway smh, now I just wait till theyre about to exfil and run in before they can kill me

[spare rune]

thats literally what I was talking about like bro. Also what are your chances of finding keys constantly then? You could get key template from cyberacme but thats like when you are rank 16 and 28.

[cold hatch]

is matchmaking normally this slow

[open willow]

Running in the 90s

[knotty fiber]

When you can see the exfil leave without you 😭💔

[open willow]

Im just happy byf keeps his job

[cold hatch]

Depends of the region it's morning in EU

[alpine crown]

I think I prefer the suck but in physics it blows

[knotty fiber]

I love the tentacle monster he helps slow down my opponents

[jovial heart]

i too love it when that happens

[runic sinew]

Obv. I meant from a lore persoective. Realisticly it probaly stalks runners by sticking them with its cables, imobilizing them and sucking them dry. Its... kinda a scary concept

[ebon wave]

Lowkey byf fell off a lil bit, I kinda like Evaze more nowadays. Still love byf tho

[echo thunder]

I mean so is the uesc doing the same thing when youre downed

[pallid sequoia]

Marton is a recession indicator

[jovial heart]

It can suck me dry

He is informative and explains in a storytime manner, and is understandable

[runic sinew]

Yes but the flying one uses imobilizing goo to pin you down and suck your life out of you. The uesc need to gun u down to suk u. The flying one just....glues u to the floor and sticks a straw in yo frame and starts slirping while your still up.

Ive considered it its just hard to tell what is what
The one thing i will say about byf is you know what the video will be about

[fierce delta]

has anyone got an image of secret lab symbols and call outs they could send me?

[surreal blade]

Ay man I don’t stay till final so this my first time I’ve notice it

[knotty fiber]

Bungie clarified in the patch notes cuz they said get good which is insane

[ebon wave]

Man I remember when morons in the D2 discord didnt pay attention during light fall and were so confused about the nature of the veil meanwhile im saying exactly what they revealed in the ahsa cinematic lmfaooo people were like no you're wrong! and im like im autistic and have crazy pattern recognition and an obsession with destiny lore dont question me lol. I also predicted much earlier that Ulan-Tan would be a major player in the lore and that we would get the darkness because of his philosophy. Having him be such a big part of the final shape felt so vindicating as some who named their guardian Paragon-7, Disciple of Ulan-Tan way back in D1

[open willow]

i callout pings as pingus, is that okay?

[surreal blade]

Lmao well I learn some new

[alpine siren]

they fuckin killed the wardren man im so scared

[echo thunder]

To be fair final exfil is always around the middle of the map so heading to the middle is always a good shout

[open willow]

i mean, what is the veil?

[echo thunder]

I sentence you to find 5 cryo archive keys and lose them all in the same run because of what you just said

[knotty fiber]

Never seen cryo exfil except once, with 5 seconds left and a robot pushed me away

[open willow]

glad im not doing cryo, wanna join?

[pallid sequoia]

I need a friend

[fierce delta]

has anyone got an image of secret lab symbols and call outs they could send me? would be doing me a massive favour

[echo thunder]

I swear if theres one thing they could chill out in cryo its the way the exfil works its so easy to lose your way because of the shit map

[ebon wave]

The veil is a primordial font of darkness, it is the darkness equivalent of the traveler. The traveler itself is not a being, but a 4 dimensional shadow of a 5th dimensional being from the "garden" where the winnower and the gardener play their game of life on the field of flowers.

[wise prawn]

The symbols are random every game

[fierce delta]

nah more an image of all of them with their names so i can have a visual reference

[knotty fiber]

Bro don’t remind me I saved my team because I remembered the way back to exfil cuz they were going the wrong way

[open willow]

i kinda know but the problem is this wasnt told well in campaign

[echo thunder]

Like dude at least if you get a vault give us waypoint that works or something as a reward

[fresh ingot]

Damn its really bad we peakin 20k, I wonder why. Anyway another question, is there a way to q Cryo and not get slam dunked by a level 200 trio with a twtv in their name who just delete us tripple kill style in 0,1 from an angle that not even devs knew existed? Happens kinda every game.

[knotty fiber]

I was screaming just trust me bro we had 1 minute left, idk why even opening arsenal puts you all the way somewhere else

[ebon wave]

It actually was if you pay attention to all the dialogue and cutscenes. I mean Osiris literally spells it out for you in between missions and your ghost also comments on it feeling like the traveler

[echo thunder]

Thats because it was supposed to be explained in light fall and that sucked

[knotty fiber]

Who needs destiny 3

[ebon wave]

See thats what everyone says but like literally if you pay attention to the dialogue it is explained. People just want everything fed to them by a cutscene

[wise prawn]

Not a single soul

[echo thunder]

I love cryo but also.
Exfils would fix 90% of my problems with it

[knotty fiber]

B-but the live service needs to be pushed harder!!

[ebon wave]

I would go feral for destiny 3

[knotty fiber]

More paywalled content! More DLC! Xenoverse 2 levels of greed!!

[wise prawn]

These destiny guys are in an abusive relationship. They need to be saved

[echo thunder]

Ok guys vote
Destiny 3
Or
A marathon pve/singleplayer addition
Im genuinely curious no matter how unlikely it is to happen

[ebon wave]

Destiny 3

[knotty fiber]

Marathon PVE because their just gonna become more aggressive with bad practices in D3

[runic sinew]

Why do we have mercy kits

[wise prawn]

Well destiny 3 is pointless. Marathon pve only would kill the game so d3 it is

[echo thunder]

That would be the one thing id be scared of eververse was so scary

[knotty fiber]

Save the enemy

[runic sinew]

Depleated self revives are very common....

[ebon wave]

Destiny Lore is more interesting though. Plus the gameplay is lowkey perfection. Bungie is the best to ever do it in terms of live service games ngl

[wise prawn]

Farming Arachne rep

[echo thunder]

Bungie wants to make marathon a tiny bit more new player friendly
Encouraging help as well as killing

[knotty fiber]

I have yet to see someone use a mercy kit

[bleak zodiac]

to incentivize playing nice. I use it when I kill a dude with a genuinely good kit lol.

[wise prawn]

To bungie's horror, I'm using it to rev and kill the same guy over and over again

[ebon wave]

Like Destiny for sure has its issues, but overall its amazing]

[echo thunder]

Id say its a matter of choice about the lore.
Destiny can be a bit murky with its terms
Marathon is hard sci fi its very explainable with its terms

[wise prawn]

You're delulu, D2 is a bad game

[runic sinew]

Ok but.... i can litteraly throw him a depleated self revive and he can simply pick it up

[knotty fiber]

I don’t think after paying 60$ at launch and having my story and content locked away I can even say it’s amazing.

[bleak zodiac]

Both are cool tho.

[trim scaffold]

claymore still going off and doing damage through doors 🥀

[ebon wave]

Meh Destiny is pretty concrete in its lore if you have a good understanding of philosophy

[echo thunder]

Sunsetting killed destiny 2

[echo thunder]

I do
I read the books of sorrow and most of the deep cuts of the lore but some things are just not explained very well

[runic sinew]

Yea but.... its a bit pointles when dropping a depleated self at his feet offers the same result

[knotty fiber]

It did, it even cost them a lawsuit they could’ve won but they couldn’t even bring the sunsetted content to the courtroom

[ebon wave]

Thats one of its bad things, but you cant deny that the content that came after that was fucking fantastic. Beyond Light was a fucking banger, Witchqueen, I personally like lightfall, and then final shape was incredible

[trim scroll]

Anybody else hate getting out automatically in the team you extracted with without a choice and not having the option to kick people?

[wise prawn]

Yes

[ebon wave]

Meh this might be where my autism kicks in lol I got that good good pattern recognition so I make the connections a bit easier

[bleak zodiac]

I love this new update. I just wish we could stack shields in vault. Even a 2 stack would help me sooooo much man

[knotty fiber]

I lowkey only liked forsaken i stopped playing and came back to the stuff i bought gone so, i don’t think i was incentivized to buy the new stuff

[wise prawn]

Yeah we need more vault space frr

[echo thunder]

I mean i get the patterns it just feels a bit too
‘The force’ from star wars
I prefer more concrete building blocks
Like i said its up to choice

Plus if you count the original trilogy durandal may be bungies best written character
Ever

[ebon wave]

Ahhh totally fair. Forsaken was amazing and it def sucks they sunset it. Although they did bring parts of it back for the final shape in the form of like a D2 greatest hits type thing forget what it was called

[jovial heart]

https://x.com/Dexerto/status/2044749842237309298

lmao this tweet

[knotty fiber]

Yeah although I hate paying for games and then coming back to not having the story I paid for be able to be replayed

[ebon wave]

Oh I see I see

[knotty fiber]

Cuz I can’t even tell people to go play that story cuz it’s sunsetted the best I can do is watch an original play through

[echo thunder]

Bungie had a pattern
Shit
Shit
AMAZING

Then repeat
Happened with taken king
Happened with forsaken
Happened with with queen
And happened with final shape

Every other expansion was either serviceable or not great and that’s fine
But
Sunsetting fucked people over, final shape is not as impactful if you cant tell people to play the mission where cayde fucking dies

[alpine crown]

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

[echo thunder]

Thank tou i was beginning to look like a tick

[wise prawn]

Cayde death hit too hard man

[jovial heart]

No, it's late! I'm sittig like a shrimp

[ebon wave]

Tbf that is an issue with all live service games eventually. I am glad they chose to sunset so console players could still play over keeping everything in the game and making it essentially unplayable for console players.

[alpine siren]

ok well i exfilled with the random crazy loot i found literally walkin into outpost as soon as i loaded as rook. that lobby felt terrifyin

[alpine crown]

N-never become a tick, omg. That's bad for your health and the economy!

[echo thunder]

Someone needs to so nucal can export tick milk

[simple ermine]

What fiends are running full purple kits on perimeter

[bleak zodiac]

Anybody else hear tick noises in their nightmares?

[wise prawn]

No it's not okay to take stuff from people they paid for.

[runic sinew]

If they did atleast we could harvest there milk

[wise prawn]

Lmao

[bleak zodiac]

Me when drunk cuz I forgot to take off my good gear, but I also forgot to load in with any meds and ammo. So I am an easy pinata to loot

[cyan sonnet]

We back chat

[ebon wave]

I also predicted our ghost dying in the final shape lol that was cool to see. Also shadow, I understand that like I agree sunsetting isnt great, but if the other option is to make it so that literally 2/3rds of the player base could no longer play then I would always rather them make that choice. Obviously a world where not sunsetting was possible would be preferred\

[cyan sonnet]

Marton flow rn

[simple ermine]

Like I got railgunned and sniped as a rook just trying to get to exfil and these mfs have purple backpacks on when I'm in the death screen

[echo thunder]

Most new players did come from console though

[wise prawn]

Seems like a bad excuse. They could've made previous extensions separate dlc

[echo thunder]

Is the railgun actually good now?

[fallen echo]

wait how would it have made 2/3rds of the playerbase not able to play?

[echo thunder]

The reason they sunset is because bungie servers couldnt handle all of the players playing different expansions
Their servers were not up to task because of some inside issues at bungie

[ebon wave]

Yeah which is only possible because they sunset content. The consoles werent powerful enough to run the game if all the content was still there. Filesize too big, SSDs too slow, it would be horribly unoptimized and also result in console players being unable to have basically any other games on their system. The game is already close to 200GB right now it would have been at least double if all prior content remained\

[echo thunder]

The only ones that could theoretically handle it would’ve been pc players if they reworked it

[fallen echo]

that's pretty bad all things considered compared to other MMO's that don't have that issue

[echo thunder]

It wasnt just about size though i have the article about bungie servers not being up to par

[echo thunder]

Yeah just shows how shit bungie management was at the time

[ebon wave]

Other MMOs do not have the same high fidelity graphics as Destiny lol of course a top down game can have a lot more content before filesize becomes an issue or a game like ESO which has shit graphics lol

[wise prawn]

That's just an issue from bungie that doesn't justify taking content from players

[echo thunder]

Not saying it justifies it
Broodles was just asking

[cyan sonnet]

Why do most assassins suck or just have soft hands

[wise prawn]

What if they made the extensions as external downloads only for people who want to play them

[echo thunder]

Hot take
Its because it encourages a more careful playstyle
You get more nervous imo

[wise prawn]

What does "soft hands" mean

[ebon wave]

That would def be a better solution imo, but that would likely require an entire rework of the whole game. It wasnt designed to be modular like that. It would be a nice solution imo tho.

[silk folio]

Hi y'all i got a noob question: does the cryo vaults only contain 1 amount of unique weapon, or is there multiple of the same unique weapon?

[echo thunder]

Can be multiple but its rare as fuck

[fallen echo]

game is currently 143gb on my PC atm, I dunno how much content they cut exactly but honestly I find it hard to believe it would have been more than 80 gigs (if it is I'll eat my words), for a while CoD was over 200gb in size and plenty of people still were able to play it on console

[echo thunder]

More than half the game was cut

[wise prawn]

Crazy

[alpine siren]

about to final exfil as rook, had i snuck into the key room in pinwheel while the squad was gettin ready to leave i wouldve gotten my hands on enough grenades to wipe the team. my heat and chem nade werent enough cause they popped a bubble shield :(

[fallen echo]

bruh how, it was Red War -> Forsaken and even then there's still stuff from those that are in the game (like the raids and exotic quests)

[echo thunder]

Remember red war was a full game
Forsaken was HUGE

[simple ermine]

But like. You can play the mission where cayde dies

[echo thunder]

Without playing the rest of forsaken?
Like basically saying
Heres the cliffnotes now go buy dlc lmao

[simple ermine]

Forsakens story is dogass fuckshit I'm sorry but there is minimal substance in it

[echo thunder]

See thats an opinion but I know lots of people would like to play it for continuity regardless

[ebon wave]

D2 content up through Forsaken was a bit over 80GB, now its 144, so that would be 224 GB which would be too much for an Xbox series s for example. Again I wish they had built the game in advance to be modular, but if the alternative was alienating console users I am glad they susnet.

[unkempt egret]

Man the finishers in this game give me a disgusting rush like no other multiplayer has since the good old days of GoW curbstomps.

[simple ermine]

The campaign is legit just bounties and a boss rush against the most one-note antagonists in the series

[fallen echo]

hmmmm, yeah idk then. Best I could come up with is allowing those expansions to be played offline so that they wouldn't have to keep the open world areas up on the servers, and then just make them toggleable DLC

[wise prawn]

Still doesn't justify taking it off

[mint mountain]

Queue times taking long for anyone else ???

[abstract stratus]

Theres no duo mode right?

[alpine siren]

i cant believe people really say theres no easy way to get loot in this game. its so easy to farm with rook on outpost good heavens

[ebon wave]

Also if I recall the game is actually bigger on console because they have to dupe assets so people with regular harddrives and not SSDs can have semi decent loadtimes

[alpine siren]

its back next season

[simple ermine]

They try and do the "wow.. is this revenge killing really right?" And it's like YES IT'S MORALLY CORRECT TO MURDER THE FUCKING HIVE LOVING AND DEAD-RAISING FALLEN WHO KILLED CAYDE THERE IS NO DILEMMA

[fallen echo]

I still think it's the funniest shit that the successful way I got into Pinwheel solo was just by asking people "hey wanna help me break into pinwheel?" 😂

[wise prawn]

Even the PS4 had an SSD tho

[ebon wave]

Lol no it didnt not the base model at least. If a ps4 had an SSD it was upgraded to have one. PS4 literally used a Laptop HDD

[mortal sequoia]

Fhjvffuionvfuihfhjîfffdddt

[wise prawn]

Mb thought it did

[ebon wave]

Now in my opinion what they should have done was drop support for the old gen console versions like ps4 and xbox one and then not sunset and keep it working on ps5 and the series x. like yes you alienate the series s players but honestly who cares about Xbox, they havent been relevant in the console space in a long time lol

[nocturne ginkgo]

that is not hard to reach. most of the contracts in that area of levels don't even require you to do things in a single run.

[mighty vine]

Still surprised this games only 27 gigs with 4 maps one map update from apex is like half marathons total storage

[regal lark]

I bougrh It Yesterday, error weasel, but i have open upnp in my router and not work with hotspot too, someone have solution? Windows 11 , gpu 9070 XT CPU 9800x3d 32 gbd ram

[ebon wave]

Lol who wants to guess my disgusting number of hours in D2

[wise prawn]

4k

[ebon wave]

A little bit higher but you were really close. Its about 4500 between console and pc

[simple ermine]

Well for one there is obviously still a good chunk of the playerbase still on older gen, especially since console prices STILL aren't going down, two ??? what is this weird ass exclusionary take with the series s

[wise prawn]

Disgusting

[alpine crown]

almost 3.6k hours

[alpine siren]

gonna try to break into dorm key room while also doin a key template solo :D

[rough sail]

6.7k

[ebon wave]

4500 hours and Ive still never been to the lighthouse tho. Also nightmare the series s storage literally couldnt support the game lol thats why i excluded it

[alpine crown]

As long as you enjoyed your time spent...!

[echo thunder]

Getting to lighthouse without a single loss is my greatest achievement in destiny

And i managed to beat kings fall in the top 100

[noble gyro]

what is blud sayin

[echo thunder]

What im saying is fuck trials of osiris
@ebon wave

[alpine siren]

fuck my chungus life i spawned on the opposite side of the map

[wheat pond]

bruh that new Tassi video is a painfully hard watch. It's like watching that journo play the Cuphead tutorial.

[ebon wave]

The closest I ever got was 2 games away and then I got destroyed by the sweatiest sweats ive ever seen

[noble gyro]

Me literally every single time I try to do a purple key

[echo thunder]

🙁 destiny sweats were another breed

[alpine siren]

IM GETTIN RUBBERBANDIN TOO FUCK MY CHUNGUS LIFE

[ebon wave]

I was a sweat in raids and dungeons tho ngl, but def not in pvp. Though I am quite good at crucible now a days, just not trials lol

[wise prawn]

Yeah same the servers are not that good

[alpine crown]

I did as well tonight

[sand rampart]

Hey, wait, if you kill someone and jack their weapon, does their skin stay on it?

[ebon wave]

I carried my 50 year old dad through his first ever raid against the damn witness. Man is bad at shooters and I still got him through it\

[wise prawn]

Yes

[sand rampart]

I never even fucning noticed

[vestal torrent]

if i play cryo now, am i going to be placed with tryhards? 3am NAE

[wise prawn]

Absolutely

[slate forge]

I exfilled with outpost rooks twice ❤️

[sand rampart]

Does it persist between runs?

[vestal torrent]

like its really bad? i got a vault 6 card

[ebon wave]

Must be nice. Everytime I try to be a friendly rook I get my ass ate

[slate forge]

I claymored one and revived him, where me and a couple others looted pinwheel ❤️💑

[sand rampart]

Man it would be so cool if the skin stayed until the weapon fell apart

[quasi socket]

its kinda crazy how so many of the groups want people lv 100+, i have 120 hours and i'm only Lv 70?

[wise prawn]

You're not leaving spawn

[sand rampart]

I understand why it doesn't though 😔

[subtle geyser]

Need a Console team kill the compiler i have DNA im a good playerx

[slate forge]

This definitely also happened to me within the past hour 💀💀

[alpine siren]

THERES DEPLETED SELF REZ?

[wise prawn]

How is your lvl so low with that many hours?

[ebon wave]

How does ranked work in this game btw? I dont get how ranked play would work in an extraction shooter. Is it based on loot?

[dreamy forge]

Using a mercy kit should grant xp or something. There's no point in using it

[quasi socket]

idk, i prob die alot more then others cause i'm not a big PvP player

[slate forge]

THE POINT IS FRIENDSHIP

[wise prawn]

Only in solo

[dreamy forge]

Friendship in Marathon doesn't mix well

[ebon wave]

I'm level 13 or 14 in 9 hours or so

[wise prawn]

You get Arachne rep by downing the guy again

[ebon wave]

can you use the mercy kit to reboot an enemy or only revive a downed one

[mortal sequoia]

There's no dual sense edge marathon controller?

[twilit turtle]

revive only

[wise prawn]

Only downed not full killed

[dreamy forge]

In every situation, I would rather end your run

[quasi socket]

I love the story, look and feel of this game but man; it's drawn in some really unfun people. just people that have no chill, people that just camp with snipers. I KNOW ITS A PvP GAME. but, come on.

[slate forge]

it'd be cool if there was a "Exfilled with:" screen just in case players want to friend each other (or send hate mail, what have you)

[ebon wave]

It would be funny if you could reboot with the mercy kit so you could get 2 finishers on the same person

[dreamy forge]

Someone used a mercy kit on me and I immediately started plotting on how to down him

[wise prawn]

Evil

[jaunty bobcat]

I have 200 hours and I'm level 56, console solo player. cyac vip 6, nucal level 17, arachne level 15

[quasi socket]

anthony, we can have difrent opions without you being rude

[ebon wave]

LMFAO a thumbs down is not rude

[dreamy forge]

Its how the game is played. Its not about morals

[slate forge]

A rook mercy'd me and immediately gunned me back down 😭😭😭

[wise prawn]

Nah bro are you avoiding contracts like death or what

[ebon wave]

If I ever got mercy kitted I would be that persons personal body guard for the rest of the match personally.

[dreamy forge]

Thats the most practical use for it.

[tidal crest]

Tarkov syndrome ;_;

[neat thunder]

I think doing cryo auto fill should be considered a form of self harm by the DSM5

[quasi socket]

what's that?

[slate forge]

instead of brain there is tarkov

[jaunty bobcat]

No, for most of them I am waiting till level 20 contracts

[summer stratus]

blame the devs not the players

[split pebble]

Some people on this game need to check their egos. Be taking non ranked matches so seriously

[jaunty bobcat]

The leveling was really slow for solo players before mid season update

[wise prawn]

Oh solo player, explains it then

[ebon wave]

Its a hardcore extraction shooter bro what do you expect

[quasi socket]

the Devs can't control players?...

[summer stratus]

the devs can add the things they use that you dont like to fight!

[cyan sonnet]

Reasons why ill never use a mercy kit

[slate forge]

how dare the game developers develop MY GAME 😡

[ebon wave]

Like genuinely if you bought this game expecting it to be silly and friendly you were just a lil dumb lol. If you wanted that experience go play arc raiders. Thats what it was designed for

[neat thunder]

I don't think people realize how much slower it was, I was regularly killing/exfilling solo and I was more than half the level of other people who'd done less contracts and had less playtime

[blissful cairn]

you rather a game die than to check that view at the door?

[alpine siren]

ok ngl the loot was kinda mid but i made it out!

[summer stratus]

because blaming other players for using things that are an intentional part of the game is really stupid! you should instead blame the developers for giving them these things!

[subtle geyser]

There is console players here ?

[slender phoenix]

Who is eager to see the rated R movie of Sony and Ziegler.. heard it’s gonna be rough,, Sony wants to do an everybody on one, and Ziegler be ‘Bonnie blue’

[split pebble]

I understand that still pretty universal. Non ranked matches are non ranked lol , I mean play a game to play a game not to be the guy who critics everything espicially when they are dead

[jaunty bobcat]

nah unethical, just because it's so rare you gotta appreciate that.

[wise prawn]

Nah solo is so bad for leveling up

[slate forge]

Marathon make my Xbox heat up my room 💀

[ebon wave]

Not every game needs to be made for a wide audience. This is the easiest way to ruin games. Look at how CoD has gone down hill by no longer catering to hardcore fans.

[bleak zodiac]

I mercyd someone today and we exfilled together. best feeling ever

[blissful cairn]

yeah but that's not how companies survive

[jaunty bobcat]

Yeah I play with AC on 😄

[wise prawn]

You get one for free on rook

[slender phoenix]

Exactly

[quasi socket]

sorry, i don't think i understand. The devs have added more pacifist stuff like the mercy kits and rewards on
with others but that hasn't changed bad behavior?

[alpine siren]

i entered with 15 mips and left with an extra 65

[somber gust]

I mercy to gun them down again

[umbral oyster]

Anyone finding uesc doesnt ignore you when invis as assassin sometimes?

[summer stratus]

"bad behavior" (using tools provided by the game in an effort to win)

[blissful cairn]

your desire for hardcore matches will kill the game faster and make people lose jobs faster, don't you realise this?

[ebon wave]

I know but sometimes things shouldnt be about money smh. This is why I am working on a video essay titled: From Art to Addiction: How Maximizing Engagement Ruins Fun

[alpine crown]

Yuh

[jaunty bobcat]

Ohh yeah you right. I'm a solo solo player so it's rare here XD but when it happens it's sweet

[worldly crow]

ARE SERvers currently down?

[dreamy forge]

If it gave me more health, I would have taken the fight

[summer stratus]

not my problem im gonna be so deadass if the devs wanted the game to be more casual they would make it more casual

[slender phoenix]

No it’s just my chromosomes

[blissful cairn]

the day we all go to gym and have 6 packs as normies would probably come first before that come to pass

[alpine siren]

lets hope i spawn in airfield to use my airfield key now!

[somber gust]

Guys have you seen the steam charts!?

[ebon wave]

Lol I wouldnt be so sure about that, things they are a changing

[blissful cairn]

and its literally dev's problem to go the other way than catering to a specific niche

[quasi socket]

I just believe that there is a way to play PvP with sportsmanship rather then not

[swift glade]

Lemme know when that drops

[jaunty bobcat]

You're so machouw

[cyan sonnet]

Alot of people should be able to refund the game

[wise prawn]

Nope you're gonna spawn in hauler

[alpine siren]

FUCK MY CHUNGUS LIFE

[blissful cairn]

unless they monetise it so hard that the sweats pay like its GTA5, marathon needs to be more casual to survive

[slate forge]

It's actually a feeling I didn't know I needed.. WE, needed.. ❤️ ❤️

[blissful cairn]

we literally seeing them pivoting to making the game more appealing to casuals - sponsored kit, mercy kit etc

[regal lark]

I bougrh It Yesterday, error weasel, but i have open upnp in my router and not work with hotspot too, someone have solution? Windows 11 , gpu 9070 XT CPU 9800x3d 32 gbd ram
, Where can I contact this poor support?

[summer stratus]

yeah ok so follow whatever you think is moral to use but expecting random enemies in a pvp shooter to adhere to said personal moral ruleset is insanely stupid

[fallen echo]

yeah, it's one thing to make a niche hardcore shooter but it's another with the intention of having a decently sized consistent audience

[ebon wave]

Will do, I currently have one titled: We Repeat, Therefore We Are that the audio is finished but didnt make the video part yet. I can send you a spotify link if you are interested. I also wrote some short stories for awhile and posted me reading those as well

[summer stratus]

grrr these guys are playing to win in my competitive pvp game where losing costs you a lot

[blissful cairn]

its easy to make marathon hardcore: pay 5 dollar to do a finisher, and 1 dollar for every runner you down. we will make it as hardcore as fuck for the sweats

[summer stratus]

just say snipers are overpowered man its true and you dont have to put the burden on the player for using something thats in the game

[wise prawn]

This is not EA we're talking bout

[quasi socket]

the problem is that sweats go into the casual places and then ruin it for the casuals. most so called "sweats" don't want to play with other players of their skill or aggression because it's to hard. they WANT to go against casuals because they know it'll be easy.

[regal lark]

I bougrh It Yesterday, error weasel, but i have open upnp in my router and not work with hotspot too, someone have solution? Windows 11 , gpu 9070 XT CPU 9800x3d 32 gbd ram

[ebon wave]

This is exactly why they got so mad about ARC raiders LMAO it was funny watching them seethe

[summer stratus]

you should not be thinking with the "casual places" mindset in this game. every map has the exact same stakes, which are everything you bring.

[echo thunder]

Guys so i know were losing all our stuff except codex and skins after wipe
But that begs the question
Ai subroutines are codex based
Will we keep those?

[regal lark]

[fathom lotus]

As a casual, I also wanna go against noobs. Your comment makes no sense lol

[wise prawn]

Idk

[sour imp]

got instantly team wiped by biotoxic disinjector while looting vault 1 feels bad man lol

[ebon wave]

Maybe the next custom Zombies map I make for BO3 will be marathon inspired. How hard you think it would be to rip the map files from the game? 🤔

[summer stratus]

not confirmed to be either way yet

[summer stratus]

if it uses the same formats as d2 theres a tool for ripping d2 maps i dont remember what its called but it shouldnt be that hard to find? its on github

[ebon wave]

This is incredible information. Now I wanna make D2 Zombies maps

[jaunty bobcat]

Do you think we should ask bungie to add a certain ability for Triage in solo because shareware.exe basically does nothing? Maybe when there's a drone, consumables last few seconds longer or something? he bacially has only 3 abilities right now as a solo.

[summer stratus]

i think just making shareware also extend buffs on the triage at all times wouldnt be an egregious buff to make it do something in solos

[cyan sonnet]

Just had my recon watch me get shot from above and look around confused. Thats the kind of person thatll come in here and cry the games hard.

[trim scaffold]

hes still super good in solos because of volt amp and passive heal 🤷

[regal lark]

[summer stratus]

i think adding solo-only ability effects is a slippery slope, i would rather they add always active effects to abilities that currently dont do anything in solo

[quasi socket]

I don't think i'm getting my point across. You hard core players will get annoyed when we want a more casual experience but will schough at the idea of a game adding a casual mode or area. Perimeter IS THE EASY MAP; yet I haven't seen a game without full teams of purple shields and shot guns. I want to enjoy the game but i understand i don't have the skill to compete with hardcore players. why should we not be allowed a casual space?

[fathom lotus]

Part of me wants to say “it’s not meant to be a solo game” but another part also wants to support all players that don’t hurt the image of the game.

I think triage does enough in solo, but not in comparison to others. Maybe the shells can have unique modifiers for solo queue.

[ebon wave]

THE TOOL EXPLICITLY SUPPORTS MARATHON NOW POG

[dreamy forge]

I just talk a big talk. I'm fodder lmao 🤣

[echo thunder]

Because the game is about losing and getting better? I got my ass kicked several times before being able to take on most pvp fights

[fathom lotus]

You have till level 12 and free kit queue, what are you on about

[jaunty bobcat]

you are right, he's good. I just pointed he only has 3 abilites, the 4th passive one does nothing and maybe they can think of something that doesn't break the balance.. but yeah he is good solo, not that mobile but he pairs really good with volts

[summer stratus]

you are generalizing my take here i dont care if they add a casual map or mode, hell i would love an arena pvp mode where you get credits in rounds and spend them on equipment like that old apex arena mode

[alpine siren]

damni lost it all because there was an assassin waitin at the top of ladder while in pinwheel lmao. go big or go home

[vague shale]

I actually cant believe how unplayable the game feels now with the sniper meta

[blissful cairn]

that's the thing, you just block and go next match

[fathom lotus]

Tbf, assassin’s 3rd ability is fall faster with a 2 second smoke

[ebon wave]

I havent been sniped once lol

[trim scaffold]

rook runs and sponsored darsh are right there, get better

[wise prawn]

You don't play marsh enough

[blissful cairn]

that's how you play casually. you don't take shit like that seriously

[ebon wave]

Its actually mostly what Ive been playing LMAO

[alpine siren]

rook into pinwheel ez gains man what dont ya get

[dreamy forge]

Its not a pleasant experience

[summer stratus]

you're acting like i said there SHOULDNT be a casual space, im just saying there ISNT ONE RIGHT NOW and you're saying its the burden of the players to make such a space when it is the burden of the developers

[wise prawn]

And you've never been sniped? How?

[echo thunder]

To be fair even sponsored darsh seems to have outlands spawning like crazy in arms lockers and stuff

[plain violet]

any more buffs planned for the Vandal?

[ebon wave]

Good luck ig?

[jaunty bobcat]

Haha yeah it's not the most usable but I am sure there will be some moments this might help you, rare but can be. and it negates fall damage...

[quasi socket]

It wasn't meant to be an attack on you or your statement. i was just trying to get my point acors

[wise prawn]

More buffs as if she just didn't get nerfed lol

[summer stratus]

said point is irrelevant to what i was telling you btw

[ebon wave]

I also have not found a single sniper myself yet unfortunately. I wanna see if sniping feels as good as it does in Destiny

[harsh leaf]

[blissful cairn]

nah, players should do whatever they want. go hardcore pvp or whatever. but its in the best interest of the dev to make it more appealing to casuals

[hollow fable]

Same as every other bongie game

[nocturne ginkgo]

just sipped a blue creamsicle flavored soda, shit is hella good, natural cane sugar ❤️

[jaunty bobcat]

Triage's shareware.exe is literally non esixtent on solo 😄

[echo thunder]

It does
Outland if you want a really juicy but hard hitting gun
Longshot if you want a longer range sniper rigle

[alpine siren]

the overwhelmin majority of my time in this game is solo. i rarely if ever fill and its like a 70/30 split of solo/rook. if im broke af i break into pinwheel or ride of the success of other in pinwheel. if i feel like bein evil i rook into pinwheel. i really love pinwheel

[cyan sonnet]

Dire sponsored should be solo as well

[ebon wave]

Im gonna be demonic if I get my hands on one then. Im insane at sniping in Destiny

[blissful cairn]

which means keeping the sweats and the tryhards in the drone with red barrier locking them in like the reddit post

[quasi socket]

I...Wasn't...talking...to...you. If i was replying to something you said i wouldv'e sub comented. but i didn't

[fathom lotus]

Most of the time you can avoid fall damage by just wall jumping or hitting slopes. It helps slightly for moving forward while falling. It’s kind of an “I’m scary!” Ability. Doesn’t do much, just makes you look intense xdd

[summer stratus]

mb assumed cause ppl dont use reply feature i apologize

[nocturne ginkgo]

put some respect on my mans trait ability, you can jump people from above and they start shitting their pants

[ebon wave]

The one thing I dont like about rook is that you get put in not solo lobbies even though you are solo. I suppose its slightly balanced by a bit better kit, but every time I run rook I get absolutely dumpstered on by one or more trios lol

[blissful cairn]

[trim scaffold]

weapon cabinets on sponsored darsh seem extra full of outlands, easy sniper practice when youre the only one with one in a lobbly lmao

[alpine siren]

giga brain unserious idea, unstable sponsored kit mode for outpost. everyone comes in with good gear you dont get to keep so its just an all out brawl massacre. hell up the player spawns and bot spawns too

[fathom lotus]

“Rawr im scary” ass assassin

[blissful cairn]

okay i like this

[echo thunder]

So a death match?

[alpine siren]

get this virus outta here

[blissful cairn]

this is like cryo kit but for other maps

[ebon wave]

can bubble protect from heat cascades? I was gonna test myself but I only got one and I dont wanna waste it lol\

[alpine siren]

its a lot more violent but you can get the good shit more if youre good enough. this is a dumb unserious idea that im makin up on a whim lmao

[dusk bridge]

does anyone know where in the post-exfil screen it shows you how much CARRI u get? Just helped someone with their quest and not sure i got anything for it.

[jaunty bobcat]

lol ok so let me do something silly with triage that doesn't do much but is cool XD
it's really hard tho. You'd want to give triage something in solo that won't break the already working shareware.exe in teams.

[wise prawn]

Yes

[echo thunder]

I actually kinda love it

[summer stratus]

its a way to drop from highground without having obvious pathing which is pretty valuable. i think with how short the smoke cloud duration is its meant to be used for things you can do quickly like finishers, diving to a door or corner and rounding it, or using it to cover your camo activation time and then they have to guessing game where you are once the cloud fades

[trim scaffold]

i thought it didnt i must be stupid

[echo thunder]

They could also just go all in on triage being a team player and make shareware work both ways
So if someone with a bot heals triage gets healed

[paper talon]

I absolutely love this game I have 122 hours since launch but idk I can’t ignore the player count they gotta do something about the solo experience. Ppl who don’t like solo just exit the game if even 1 friend is offline, and filling doesn’t work at all in an extraction game it rlly doesn’t value your time. I RLLY want this game to survive I love it sm

[ebon wave]

Lol part of me wishes simply jumping would be considered high enough to drop the smoke but I understand why its not

[wise prawn]

You need to play really slowly as rook. Or be really good at pvp

[echo thunder]

With rook it becomes a stealth game
Its so fucking cool

[trim scaffold]

⚠️ steam charts update ⚠️
the imagine dragons capture the flag hero shooter only has 160 players, its so over 😭

[shut needle]

Guys what’s better for PvP a blue overrun or a blue LMG

[summer stratus]

honestly if they ever find active camo problematic i would love for them to add a new trait, make dive his tactical and let you activate it grounded

[wise prawn]

Lmg

[echo thunder]

OVERRUN IS A BB SHOOTER STAY AWAY FROM IT AT ALL COSTS

[summer stratus]

i think the coolest assassin moments are when you're playing around smoke and shroud compared to just using active camo by itself

[stable terrace]

Ngl I kinda don't like the Biotox now, i don't like how it feels

[ebon wave]

Yeah, im still learning the game only about 10 hours so far so I am sure I will get better as time goes on. I think the reset coming up will be helpful too since I just got the game 2 days ago so I have never had the equal playing field experience yet until this mode that just came out where I have been absolutely shitting on people (sponsored marsh)

[cyan sonnet]

Pellet gun

[quasi socket]

Like, i just want people to be kind...

[fathom lotus]

Which you can already do with any invis chip or the invis ability, or a smoke grenade. I use it all the time for movement, but it rarely is useful during a fight, unless I already lost the fight and need to back out. Which I think is bad kit if it’s only good when you lost xdd

[blissful cairn]

i don't think that's the answer, but i just want more incentives to be kind

[ebon wave]

In a game about killing people? where one of the better factions rewards you for killing people?

[shut needle]

Thx

[opal silo]

im making it my mission to slaughter every single rook on outpost

[wise prawn]

Fair

[regal lark]

[fresh ingot]

Daily cryo fill run getting rushed on spawn by full gold lvl 200s I really wonder why the game is dying any ideas?

[echo thunder]

Im gonna sound insane anthony but trust me on this, you want a level playing field?
Run outpost on a free kit
You will get so much money from the runs you manage to make it out with

[fathom lotus]

This is a wild comment LOL

[blissful cairn]

humanity as a whole is built on the fucked up mindset, but there's always need to be an incentive to not be dicks. and it needs to be overwhelmingly in favour of being kind

[summer stratus]

smoke grenades have a fuse and the invis chips/camo dont help with swift movement, camo is only actually useful vs good players when stationary or crouchwalking

[trim scaffold]

overrun isnt absolutely completely useless if you tapfire, and youre right above someone, and they have no shields, and you fully magdump into their head, and you have a pistol to swap to to finish them

[echo thunder]

In the game with the death cult people should not expected to be kind
Hell in no extraction shooter

[wise prawn]

And you have infinite ammo

[ebon wave]

Are there regular exfils on outpost or only the guarded ones btw? I have never seen a normal one but I cant tell if its just cause people used them so fast

[summer stratus]

even uncrouched walking is fast enough to break "perfect" camo

[neat thunder]

people really are just random filling cryo stoned out of their mind

"bro where'd you go?"

"up the ladder"

"what ladder bro?"

"the ladder right in front of you, I pinged it"

"oh shit bro"

[blissful cairn]

there's death cult in real life too. we just don't incentivise it

[wise prawn]

Guarded exfills or locked exfill

[trim scaffold]

that was me my bad

[ebon wave]

Nah in ARC raiders it makes sense to expect some kindness tbh

[summer stratus]

only guardeds and restricteds

[neat thunder]

nobody minds so long as you can handle your shit, just don't go so hard you lose spatial recognition

[echo thunder]

There are but your best bet is to find the red keys and where they spawn
Go to pinwheel
And find a key based exfik

[quasi socket]

I guess i want to understand why, when i say "I don't want to fight" people seem hellbent on doing anything but that. if someone asks me not to shoot or leave them alone...I do? its just polite?

[trim scaffold]

cryo is a whole ass maze dawg idk where the hell i am 😭

[ebon wave]

I dont think ive ever gotten inside the pinwheel ive only ever found one half of what I need

[echo thunder]

True but also
Arc is an extraction lite
Its more of a socializing simulator

[fathom lotus]

I’m doing a video on this month long mindfuck with this guy who screwed us on the first day of Marathon. We added him without him knowing it was us, and we just activated our plan today.

We ruined an insanely successful run of his for revenge. It ended very unexpectedly tho, so I’m hoping it’ll be a good vid LOL

[summer stratus]

this is actually a good thing because restricteds are silent and guardeds are way faster to activate, normal exfils become terrible once you're in sweat lobbies because it takes so long to activate that people will be fighting you before its even close to popping

[trim scaffold]

arc is friendslop for gamer dads that dont actually have friends

[summer stratus]

this is called throwing a game because you're a sore loser

[ebon wave]

I died on outpost with an amazing 0 to hero run with one second left on guarded exfil and I got sucked too much smh

[echo thunder]

If you cant find keys on outpost
Prep with weapons wait for someone to get in to pinwheel
Get in because it unlocks for everyone
Kill them
Profit

[regal lark]

I bougrh It Yesterday, error weasel, but i have open upnp in my router and not work with hotspot too, someone have solution? Windows 11 , gpu 9070 XT CPU 9800x3d 32 gbd ram
, Where can I contact this poor support? @warm owl @sour wagon🌙

[fathom lotus]

Wah wah, it was amazing.. also it wasn’t a sore loser situation. He just took extract without us. Basically super petty revenge and it was funny af

[ebon wave]

When I play ARC raiders I always play a character. I like being the elevator guard or a field medic or shit like that its fun. Every few runs I decide to be somones villain origin story

[north latch]

If I was good enough at rook I'd do this as well, most of the time I'm just the outpost rat who waits for command wing to open tho

[open flower]

Another triple lockdown completed
Still no prestige salvage
The struggle continues

[summer stratus]

what happens in a run stays in a run, doing a weird elaborate plot to get him in your game without him recognizing you and then throwing a run is not ethical idc what he did to you

[mighty vine]

Since when does marathon queue games in less than 30 secs bru o my goodness

[neat thunder]

idk about ethical but it seems kinda over the top tbh

[ebon wave]

My favorite finisher I hit today was when I downed someone in solo and they were in a hallway full of UESC troops and I was low on health so I said on prox chat to crawl inside my room and I would mercy kit him if he agreed to help me fight the bots and then when he crawled in I closed the door behind him and said "Sorry bud" and finished him lol

[north latch]

'Say your unemployed without saying your unemployed'

[summer stratus]

if he broke tos it would be justified and very funny but over exfilling without teammates is crazy

[quick briar]

"not ethical" bro is invoking the broneva conventions 😭

[opal silo]

not ethical? are we fr

[ebon wave]

Maybe not ethical but it is funny as fuck

[summer stratus]

its called being a decent human being and not intentionally throwing a run because you dont like the guy 😭

[gritty lichen]

Cryo fill teammates are not real

[quick briar]

yever been outside?

[fathom lotus]

Who gives a fuck about it being ethical. You’re like the people who blew up the sykkuno situation. You have no idea what happened. It’s a video game. I’ll spoil it for you. He loved the idea and he’s on our squad now.

[summer stratus]

paid actors clearly hired by the squad who killed me in a boosting operation

[gritty lichen]

No genuinely this guy I'm playing with right now must be an AI program designed to get loot or something this can't be a real person

[north latch]

I mean if he's a paid actor than why are you even bragging about it lol

[alpine crown]

Sometimes I hope the enemy runner has a bad time when they don't cooperate in MY games.

🗡️ 🔪

[summer stratus]

inting people because they did slighted you is a flex now ur just not in the know

[north latch]

Teammate trolled a winnable fight, millions must die

[fathom lotus]

He wasn’t an actor, it was a real scenario, but he just found it funny af cause of the outcome. You can enjoy a game when you die sometimes, shocker.

I’m not saying the outcome, yall just assuming if it was you, you’d be a cry baby. Either quit empathizing as if it matters to you, or watch the vid when I drop it lmfao

[cyan lily]

anyone know what the cryologist redacted codex is

[summer stratus]

called out for morally questionable decision
immediately brings up latest e-celeb scandal for some reason

[wise prawn]

Killing compiler

[opal silo]

I used to wish I could torment rooks even more than by letting them self res and downing them again, thanks to mercy kits I can torture them for so much longer.

[cyan lily]

the other one then ig

[carmine nacelle]

The amount of rounds I threw for the sake of a few laughs on CS2.
The laugh outweighs the victory.

Though your point on the latest "e-celebtrity" scandal just makes no sense overall LOL.

[summer stratus]

its exfilling goopinator 9000

[north latch]

I mean if he found it funny in the end that's all in good fun, doesn't really change the fact that you seemed way too vindictive for a pretty trivial videogame act when you were typing it out

[summer stratus]

agree

[cyan lily]

ive done that as well

[ebon wave]

Also bro makes it sound like hes defending the e-celeb who is a serial cheater so that just adds to the morally questionable things on his behalf lol

[fathom lotus]

It was all for the funny. It was this giant revenge arc kinda thing. Was never like, actual hate. It’s a single match out of our 100s of hours together.

[stable terrace]

Today has been awful ngl, wasted three DNA cards because every lobby has been eating batteries and we just didn't kill the other quick enough :(

[north latch]

I men yeah sure that's fine, I'm just saying you were presenting a completely different tone before lol

[ebon wave]

ggs you'll get em next time king

[summer stratus]

do u have the blow up a vent w/ a frag one

[stable terrace]

I lost a gold kit today :(. I have to use my 7 other gold shields oh no

[cyan lily]

oh no, might be that thx 🙏

[fathom lotus]

I said that cause he’s acting like he knows how the guy we did this too feels and feels the need to defend him from what we did. Similar to the gf of the e-celeb who clearly is pissed everyone is talking about it lol

Just a reference

[ebon wave]

Never have gear fear it can always come back brother.

[summer stratus]

if its the one directly below compiler kill (requiem for a compiler) then thats the one

[stable terrace]

Yeah I'm just mad cos I only have 2 of the gold wstr, now one

[carmine nacelle]

Fair, fair. 🙂‍↕️

[cyan lily]

yep, been wondering what it could be lol

[ebon wave]

I aint even seen anything above blue yet lol

[echo thunder]

Pinwheel

[north latch]

Nevermind, screw you, the less WSTR guns in circulation the better

[stable terrace]

And I had a gold leg implant with carnage cartridge

[summer stratus]

losing a backpack full of salvage is 20x worse than losing a full kit

[stable terrace]

Oh wait nvm, mine only had 1 trace left so no one gets it :)

[carmine nacelle]

real

[fathom lotus]

We lost our 3 too. We had two fights with the compiler, lost cause one of our mates is a lil slow.

We know how to do it now tho

[opal silo]

losing lore items makes me homicidal

[summer stratus]

lowk harder to farm salvage than it is to farm purple kits

[north latch]

Based

[echo thunder]

How hard is compiler actually

[fathom lotus]

You gotta get the click somehow 💀

[summer stratus]

you can always coinflip win a fight vs players who outgear you but salvage farming has no such shortcut

[carmine nacelle]

day 1 lw equivalent (i'm lying)

[north latch]

It's always rough playing videogames with a good friend who's a bit slow at that game, even worse when that person is yourself lol

[summer stratus]

the fight itself is the easiest part, getting access to compiler and then getting there in a run is the hard part

[valid stone]

They need to do some serious work to make the new queue actually fun. One, it should support Duos only (duh), but also the loot is bad

[carmine nacelle]

Isn't duo-queue in the works right now?

[stable terrace]

We got a 6 key from a stacked gold team and lost in next match because I pushed poorly and it would of been fine but we got fourth partied

[fathom lotus]

It’s pretty fucked actually. As a “above average” player, who has the opportunity to fight it, you really need to study and have a game plan.

If your plan falls apart, you lose in that fight. Either everyone for themselves, or your roles need to stay your roles.

[valid stone]

They already did Duos once and took it away to... work on it again I guess

[echo thunder]

So a raid fight?

[north latch]

The playercount is fine, but it's defintely not enough to support a duo queue in my opinion, I can't imagine they're adding it back without a map rotation

[stable terrace]

Vault 6 dropped me like 3 gold shields when I did it last btw, it's fucking stacked

[carmine nacelle]

On par with a dungeon, just that you have invis hunters and titans waiting around corners to kill you.

[echo thunder]

Well shit
I mean i have only 2 ai subroutines so i guess thats a future me problem

[fathom lotus]

It’s like… you have constant orbs killing you, and you need someone destroying them while others are activating terminals in coordination. Then damage phase happens. Then do it again

[north latch]

I thought it was just the compiler, are there other enemies or is this just a d2 metaphor

[carmine nacelle]

d2 metaphor

[stable terrace]

Compiler is really ez, just have an ad clear while you and the other donnie do terminals

[gentle sleet]

Anyone know where I can get the sound effect of the vaults opening in cryo

[fathom lotus]

Yeah, but if someone fails it’s gg. It’s really fragile

[echo thunder]

I have seen every key drop except 6
Fuck labs key

[summer stratus]

punishing but not challenging is how i would describe it

[fathom lotus]

You’ll usually have less than 10 minutes to do it too, so it’s rough

[stable terrace]

6 is really rare, but the drops are so worth it

[carmine nacelle]

backstabbed and downed a runner as a rook while signal mask is active, codex entry not counted.
i stand sad today.

[echo thunder]

Is there like a must pick shell combo?

[gentle sleet]

It’s drops in outpost red key room I’ve seen it 2 times

[fathom lotus]

Just like what we did to that guy

[north latch]

If they're going to keep the compiler fight in its current form this game needs a lfg feature, not offering that in such a communication heavy game is already a bit nuts

[echo thunder]

Ive done it 25 times never seen it

[fathom lotus]

Two destroyers and a triage… but it’s not necessary. Just makes it easier

[north latch]

You have a thief on your team? Bro might be stealing them

[gentle sleet]

Unlucky rip

[echo thunder]

Never lmao
Triage destroyer recon usually

[regal lark]

, Where can I contact this poor support? @warm owl @sour wagon

[blissful cairn]

ah people are always dicks. the game just missing a crucial component where cooperation is not incentivised until CARRI event, and even then there's no gold mod that you can get from it, or anything

[fathom lotus]

We’ve found it once and did the room maybe 100 times or so. It’s just really rare. Gotta get lucky. It’s not where the 02 key spawns, it’s on the other island table

[summer stratus]

destroyer ult helps w/ dps and triage drones stop you from spending meds on chip damage
its completable with any comp though imo and if they ever add solo cryo assassin will be the play for solo compiler since invis stops the balls from tracking you

[blissful cairn]

watch the same pvp people turn 180 when they see CARRI points actually allows them to give them a gold mod or smth, it's fucking silly

[echo thunder]

Damn

[blissful cairn]

now its no longer a hardcore shooter extraction, its a CARRI extraction

[summer stratus]

im very confident none of the pvp bloodthirsters i know would care about getting a gold mod from CARRI points when they can just kill people for them at a more efficient rate

[echo thunder]

Anyone wanna go key grinding?

[open flower]

A solo assassin tried to do stats for it and got it once in 50 runs, as in opening the room 50 times
Current odds for prestige and contraband stuff expects you have like a fucking 80% success rate with objectives or something

[fathom lotus]

Stealing it from people in Cryo by camping the area, or finding it there is your best bet though. So keep hunting.

[north latch]

I mean at the end of the day this is a pvp game, you shouldn't really be going out feeling entitled to kindness in this game. Having said that some people are such fucking losers lmao, the fuck do you mean your gonna kill me at final extract without enough time to even loot my body

[blissful cairn]

the rate would dramatically drop, i can assure you of that. it would be less of an issue

[summer stratus]

i wont lie i be killing rooks crossmap and not looting them just because its fun

[stable terrace]

I mean, it's a PvP game.....you are walking loot for me to take

[open flower]

Because funni Arachne larp

[fathom lotus]

I’ll do this everytime to my enemies. You’re not my teammate and it’s Tarkov etiquette to welcome someone to Tarkov. Lol

[open flower]

Now the Rooks are staging an uprising and devouring Outpost whole 😌

[north latch]

I respect it, but your on my hitlist now. When I become emperor of the First Oceanic Empire your ip address is the first one I'm going to nuke

[fathom lotus]

Yeah, 17:30 is horror time

[echo thunder]

Youre telling me youve watched the marathon short movie
And the trailer
Where people die by other runners over and over
And you think about politeness?
Thats fine dont expect others to do the same

[summer stratus]

you are a fool if you think their schemes were not already in motion

[stable terrace]

Most rooks don't even loot anyway, one less problem

[regal lark]

I bougrh It Yesterday, error weasel, but i have open upnp in my router and not work with hotspot too, someone have solution? Windows 11 , gpu 9070 XT CPU 9800x3d 32 gbd ram

[open flower]

Some people just choose not see any social aspects in this game, that's all

[wheat pond]

It's good sport to hit a long range headshot one-tap with an Outland on a free kitter running in the open.

[fathom lotus]

Also it’s a game… about stealing… why would I not steal someone’s loot

[open flower]

How has Cryo been for peeps?

[summer stratus]

i mean i think its suboptimal to chase free kit players down sometimes cause its just not worth the meds/ammo

[stable terrace]

Okay runs today, only lost once but it was a run when I decided to go in with gold stuff, but it is what it is. Everything I lost was replaceable

[echo thunder]

I cant count on my hand the number of times people talk on prox chat

Tau ceti culture is shoot first thats all

[fathom lotus]

I just don’t want them lurking. When I see white, we turn on full ego mode

[summer stratus]

this only applies in rook active maps tho cause like they are just gonna be replaced by the rook fleet at some point

[north latch]

On rook it's pretty common, basically never on trios tho

[open flower]

It's also a game with friendly voice lines and prox chat and limited loot space. It's a choice not to engage with that aspect one way or another, but it is there.

[echo thunder]

I rarely rook lol

[merry wigeon]

anyone know if the dire marsh sponsored duo queue(fill off) is working now or still broken?

[stable terrace]

I like ragebaiting when we win against a team because it brings me joy when they get made and such "oh you're shit" and such even though their team is dead

[serene basalt]

I'm starting a go fund me page for bungie. This is purely to hire staff that can fix issues and maybe add a anti cheat that works lol.

[brittle mica]

why my arachine reputation pack never refresh. It just disappeared from my armory

[wheat pond]

All the "friendly" bs was just tacked on bc Bungie probably felt pressured by Arc Diapers

[summer stratus]

i would rather leave free kit lurkers alive to occupy player slots in the lobby so rooks who will just run at you eating your resources on repeat are less frequent
