[runic sinew]

Oh also... funny story.

I was on dire marsh earlyer. The anomoly spawned and someone turned it into a physical sample. I open the map and watch it to see where it was headed. For the entier match... it didint move an inch. We were confused to say the least, we knew someone had it, but it wasnt moveing. We heard gunshots at algie where it was snaged. But despite all the fighting there around the anomoly it never moved at all. We were like... uhh, are they useing it as bait? So at the 6 munite mark we approached it. We found 3 rooks SCOWERING the area looking for it. 3 teaming rooks all looking for the anomoly. We kill all of them... and find it in a dead guys bag 20 metters away from the rooks search area. Apparently the team that grabed it traded with another team... they both died and somehow no one was able to find it. It sat there in the bag the entier match swarmed by players and rooks. We find it with 3 munites left... and exfil with it🤣 🔥

[noble gyro]

lotta max wins today in cryo + finished all subroutines + looted hella golds #yuuup going for compiler

[dark rampart]

You got it by tomorrow ez

[jaunty crystal]

simbiont in the musky waters of dire marsh channels you into a different wavelength dude

[brave jewel]

I like how everyone decided to finally lock in and get their subroutines this week (me included)

[grim tulip]

Same

[green copper]

Subroutines?

[jaunty crystal]

got my second routine today, 4 to go

[sullen lagoon]

I wonder if I'll still be able to do subroutines next season

[grim tulip]

I only need 2 more

[jaunty crystal]

yea it saves in your codex

[noble gyro]

tbf I was already done with 1-4, did 5 yesterday and 6 today

rest of the runs were helping my friends get theirs, and we got hella golds from other teams

[runic sinew]

A sub sandwich that you routinely eat

[brave jewel]

I have one vault 6 key and my crew has 3 others so we luckily have room for error

[mellow pivot]

marathons queue time is too long

[rocky cape]

Codex entries you need unlocked to access Compiler

[sullen lagoon]

Invent cloning so we can print more players

[mellow pivot]

is that last cryo week in season 1 ?

[crisp cloak]

Seems like you’re wasting your own time. I’d rather kill you or you kill me so that I can have more efficient runs.

Seriously, take my gear. You’re the one losing.

[brave jewel]

No

[noble gyro]

we only had 2 lost the first run nearly insta due to literally everything going wrong (lmao) and then second one went of fwithout a hitch

[mellow pivot]

i shouldnt be waiting 3 miniutes for cryo game

[burnt wasp]

If you bring a green shield into cryo I'm straight up not reviving idgaf it's your own fault

[mellow pivot]

how to do vault 6 and not to die to timer ? you need clearance 4 right ?

[noble gyro]

we just brought antivirus to keep field up to keep us safe

[tall bloom]

bro i hate searching marathon on youtube looking for a lore video to fall asleep to and being greeted with the stupid ass marathon is dead/dying videos

who gives a fuck about playercounts
either you find the game fun or not like that’s loser shit

[fluid fox]

YO I CANT LOAD IN

[wintry bough]

People really are allergic to playing the game, huh. And you people want random matchmaking 💀

[dark rampart]

Bring Thief and cheese with clearance 3 ez

[tall bloom]

it’s lame bringing a green shield into cryo

but a reinforced green is the same as blue

it’s also lame to expect crew fill to be competent n throwing a tantrum when they ain’t

[west ember]

Reinf green is the same as blue?

[green copper]

Do you guys have any luck on cryo with randos?

[warped bronze]

thats a myth reinforced is 20 extra hp but 50% reduction same as green, I have tested this with the strider

[wintry bough]

Why so many arachne tonight....

[west ember]

Me no Arachne

[long oasis]

yeah i only had one group who was good with randoms

[noble gyro]

MIDA gang rise up

[warped bronze]

no

[west ember]

Exfiled 1/2 rando runs
So… idk, coin flip?

[tall bloom]

i can admit i’m wrong about the shield shit but point still stands about expecting crew fill to be anything but ass

[celest raft]

idk what the fuck I did but this game runs like at least 20 or 30 percent smoother for me now

[crisp cloak]

It takes half damage from most sources. Very good value.

[warped bronze]

the visual length of the reinforced shield is misleading it’s understandable

[west ember]

Yeah
I’d love a purple or gold reinf shield

[crisp cloak]

Are there reinforced Blue and Purple shields?

[celest raft]

if only their buys/upgrade tree wasn't so underwhelming

[dark rampart]

Almost did Compiler with a random yesterday but they had no mic and drooled at the boss screen panels instead of hitting them and died 10 times in a row, it was possible tho

[warped bronze]

reinforced gold but it is equal to gold, as it only gives u two bars

[noble gyro]

I was the grenade tyrant and then they nerfed barters 🥀

free antivirus and agility is good tho

[crisp cloak]

Ah right. That one exists.

[west ember]

That one triple down today 💀💀💀

[green copper]

I just feel like cryo without voice chat coordination is like trying to shit on the ceiling

[crisp cloak]

I want them to copy certain Borderlands shields.

Like a copy of The Sham where enemy bullets can be absorbed and added to your ammo.

[noble gyro]

they didnt even know what hit them 🔥

[tall bloom]

yeah but you gotta igl n play like ur teamates r idiots for it to work

4/4 today on crew fill n doing vault 1

[long oasis]

my life by mary j blige. you’ll thank me later. 😘

[west ember]

🔥🔥🔥 i was worried that you pushed without us but it went so well

[noble gyro]

I play with blooperly a lot and he's just learned to trust my insanity because I know how and when to push

[west ember]

Fair enough

[long oasis]

would love to learn a thing or two from mida corp

[noble gyro]

I'm surprised they didn't even try to trade me though I didn't even need to heal I just 1 magged their team

[west ember]

Yeah

[noble gyro]

i've made a few committments to do runs with people from here so hit me up for sure

[west ember]

Also yk it may appear on the run summary that i did no work BUT i DID down quite a few guys

[noble gyro]

it's okay I know you did your part even if it looks like I just got 8 solo kills

[west ember]

Yaya
I played so well against that one team down in the basement

[noble gyro]

you did!

[west ember]

It was magical to me i was like WHAAAT MY DECISION MAKING SKILLS ARE GOING CRAZY???

Also i hate it in cryo when fights just drag on
Like neither we nor they want to push cus both of us are between a rock and a hard place
Happens in other maps too but a lot less often

[digital pelican]

i love this game so much but the 3 times ive almost 1v3d like a badass, ive died to a bug like phantom melee or reloading not happening sooooooo annoying. worse than loosing loot is losing to a bug lol

[noble gyro]

were you there for the pve run or did I show you

[drowsy stag]

What a great name you have 😂

[west ember]

Yeah i was there for the pve run

[noble gyro]

yeah lmfao sometimes the correct call is to just piss off because they're clearly not going to do anything

[west ember]

I am carrot! And i am a very strong carrot!

[tall bloom]

i usually j rotate out after 2 min of waiting

[celest raft]

how is the react guy still doing ts

bro needs a job
and the mods here do FUCK all

[drowsy stag]

He created another acc

[west ember]

Yeah that’s what i learned as well

[dark rampart]

The mods banned Lemark

[noble gyro]

another easy block

[celest raft]

that is the saddest shit

[drowsy stag]

He will be server meme

[west ember]

Yeah it’s depressing

[noble gyro]

he cant react you if you block him #technology

[drowsy stag]

[alpine crown]

Y'all need to find peace

[jaunty bobcat]

This is so awful when you stuck between objects and get killed just because of that

[drowsy stag]

[alpine crown]

😝

[noble gyro]

another easy block

[runic sinew]

Hey patrick i thought of a number funnyer than 24

[noble gyro]

keep making accounts dude I can block them faster than you can make them

[west ember]

[viscid anchor]

🤡

[drowsy stag]

I actually found this double burger in outpost and died.. sad

[fervent vine]

first time ive seen u speak

[alpine crown]

I've created a monster... 👩‍🦽‍➡️

[noble gyro]

actually made him mad enough to break character

[drowsy stag]

Did you do it

[fervent vine]

🫃 👨‍🦼‍➡️ 🪷

[west ember]

I exfiled all 5 drinkable burgers

[alpine crown]

I blocked the first two and he made a third and it's been like that since

[noble gyro]

breaking character to reply to me is insane aura loss cuz I'm in his head now

[west ember]

Why’s there specifically a mobility scooter and a wheelchair emoji 😭 they’re the same concept

[alpine crown]

posting lotus, hidden chud

[noble gyro]

@alpine crown got all subroutines today I'm so :dogzensticker:

[heady mica]

i just got a perimeter game where my team was the only team on the map does anyone know whats happening?

[noble gyro]

and I went on the nastiest max winstreak after too, hella golds and purples, trying for compila now

[alpine crown]

[fervent vine]

i was so stressed i was playing like shit lmfao but after we got it done i was beasting on people

[fervent vine]

i have done nothing but run cryo all day and no exfil. the cryo archive hungers

[alpine crown]

Trial by fire has forged a new warrior

[west ember]

Dude yk what core i want
I want the thief one that pings enemies when ur drone’s near

[noble gyro]

yeah i played with carrot and dropped like 8 elims they were so worried for me

[fervent vine]

[west ember]

Hey hey now there don’t go claiming all the glory for ur 8 elims

[alpine crown]

🧘‍♀️ I'm rotating on the Y-axis in your mind

[noble gyro]

it's too late carrot, unfortunately history will not remember it that way because I have the screenshot and it reads me - 8

[west ember]

NOOO

[dark rampart]

I did a 12 man Compiler run today idek wtf that game was, most mics ive ever heard in the game

[spiral peak]

What age should one stop wearing graphic tees?

[runic sinew]

Can gold wstr 2 tap golds or nah

[eager forum]

102

[west ember]

Never
They are forever

[noble gyro]

I think teaming is cringe and we backstabbed someone begging to team compiler when they wouldn't shut up

[inland quail]

Holy fuck this is dumb. Killed team that did vault 01, tried to get out, got lost, and then got lost again and couldn't find last exfi;

fml

[west ember]

If i were him i’d just ask truce and leave lol no need to keep asking

[glass cipher]

watching tarkov gameplay and holy shit imagine if the game played like this with all the corner peaking and limb damage guhhh

[dark rampart]

Idk im ok with it if its natural and you dont kill any other teams by teaming up, ive been helping a lot of ppl see Compiler for the first time, but yes shooting ppl is also fun

[spiral peak]

Took my niblets out to eat wearing my 'GET SMOKED' mirror hat and "senpai in the streets, kawaii in the sheets" shirt. Half thought it was great, half cringed so hard you could hear a crinkle sound of their souls.

[west ember]

Corner peeking sounds like hell on cryo

[noble gyro]

we said to f off the first time, they should've ran as soon as they heard my voice enthusiastically going "yeah sure!" after we murdered half the lobby LMAO

@dark rampart they were so mad it was hilarious

[fervent vine]

📜

[glass cipher]

ngl thats a feature id like, being able to lean BUT its not very bungie so

[dark rampart]

What is this Siege

[west ember]

Oh yeah maybe idk tho which buttons would u even use for those keybinds

[wheat flax]

you mightve been in my lobby lol

[celest raft]

just curious chat, what map runs the worst for yall, if one does? Outpost, I imagine, probably with the rain and heat cascade and all?

[alpine crown]

Tom Clitty's Rainbow Six Siege

[noble gyro]

erm

[dark rampart]

Outpost by far

[west ember]

Nah darsh

[wheat flax]

performance wise or gameplay

[celest raft]

performance

[glass cipher]

yknow what they could just add the simple 'ads at a corner to peak around it' and that wouldnt change any controls. but like i said it doesnt feel like a bungie mechanic

[west ember]

Oh then it’s outpost

[wheat flax]

marsh. i notice pop in on it sometimeas when theres no fog its weird. and my pc is fairly beefy

[ebon bluff]

Is Cryo matchmaking different if u do solo crew fill vs 3stack vs duo crew fill?

I've had such a fun time doing solo crew fill, but today i did duo crew fill and it was awful, lobbies full of sweats w/ gold gear rushing rooms everywhere.

[noble gyro]

I honestly don't know I have like 72 frames at all times LMAO

[glass cipher]

cryo sometimes gets some bad stutters when i first load in but outpost gets me down to 40fps which is still very playable for me

[final peak]

It'd be incredible.

[dark rampart]

Sounds like Siege or Delta Force when i played a little before Marathon to introduce me to extraction shooters

[west ember]

Yeah my frames drop sometimes but it’s usually all good

[alpine crown]

chess has 312k online players right now

[celest raft]

same here, changing my laptop's power mode to performance instead of auto helped me MAJORLY

[wheat flax]

maybe? this weekend specifcally the lobbies seem different whether that be player count in match or how stacked each team is

[glass cipher]

HELL yeah happy to hear it :D

[noble gyro]

only 312k after 2000 years? washed ngl.

[azure urchin]

reinf green is the same as a normal green

[alpine crown]

dead game 🥀

[celest raft]

for the longest time I was like "why tf am I stuck at 40/45 frames this makes NO damn sense"

now I can break 60 reliably, although it's not perfect still, but much better for sure...

[west ember]

Yeah i know but i was questioning him

[celest raft]

im at only 134k vaulted am I washed???

[west ember]

Not 40 billion concurrent players? Tough luck

[noble gyro]

honestly yea

[glass cipher]

fuuuuck the wipe is coming in a few weeks i cant wait to see how it happens

[wheat flax]

Idk why it does it but I noticed my setting for performance never stick. DLAA is always forced on after awhile. But I’m also always only getting 70 fps no matter the mode so it’s weird

[west ember]

I’m at almost 200k in my vault

[celest raft]

I like that unlike Tarkov, you can come into this game late wipe and not get IMMEDIATELY fucking flattened because of how loot distribution works and because of how cryo is limited

[glass cipher]

my vault is currently like... 380k i think?

[west ember]

Hopefully my subroutines don’t reset I’d be really sad if they do

[final peak]

I'm curious what the start of wipe clusterfuck is gonna look like for this game. I usually just ratted for a couple of weeks in Tarkov so that the early quest locations would die down.

[glass cipher]

thatsssssssssss actually a good question since bungie said codex doesnt reset but the subroutines are a part of the codex iirc? at least partially

[celest raft]

what are those??????? What is the purpose of them? I am still confused about that from the cinematic and in game

also, what do we think the "Cradle system" will be???

[wheat flax]

Imagine the wipe becomes effective mid match 🤡that be kinda funny

[mellow pivot]

What lvl ?

[west ember]

Bro rats and doesn’t run into danger like a true runner

[dark rampart]

Sub routines shouldnt reset because Codex wont, but im sure Cryo wont be available right away

[glass cipher]

125 ive got like a total of 1.3 million accoutn value

[eager forum]

The only thing I dont like with wipes is doing again the same contract. In arc ir is really not fun

[final peak]

That's... not really true? Like, purple and better shields are still pretty accessible outside of Cryo time, and Cryo being limited just means that people who would otherwise mostly grind Cryo are now shunted back into the other maps, thus increasing the average loadout value on the map. And gear diffs matter a LOT more in Marathon than EFT.

[mellow pivot]

Have you done the compiler ?

[alpine crown]

Damngst... I'm broke too but I'm rich in friendship and purples

[west ember]

Subroutines
Must get them to fight the compiler

[celest raft]

im only at 64, granted I burnt myself out and took a break to go back to Arc...

[glass cipher]

NOPE ive just only done my first vault today actually 😭

[dark rampart]

You grab each one from its vault and it goes to your codex, when you have all 6 you can fight the Compiler

[wheat flax]

I’m grinding crazy rn to reach 100. Im at 85 rn

[west ember]

I did my third vault today

[mellow pivot]

Which one was it ?

[celest raft]

is it a MAJOR spoiler to ask what the compiler drops or is it just goated loot?

[glass cipher]

01 (though we did it twice in a row so thats something)

[mortal sequoia]

Good morning marathon what's the player count

[west ember]

Item no, but they have codex lore

[sterile wraith]

friendly rook gaming got me a golden hpr today and several thousand credits worth of loot. i never saw their names, but whoever the all arachne skin squad on outpost who opened the pinwheel room with me were, you folks rock severely. i helped them clear uesc :)

[wheat flax]

||Goated loot and small chance to get super secret loot ||

[noble needle]

more than 1 less than 1 marathillion

[dark rampart]

Compiler doesnt drop anything apart from the item called a Ganglion you can trade for golds in your shop, the room after him tho is full of golds and purples

[celest raft]

enough™

crazy how people whine about steamcharts here but I can still get into a match in less than a minute cough TARKOV cough

[formal moss]

Does anyone have alot of entries under the "loot" section of the codex filled out that could help me with something?

[merry flame]

What is up, my Runnah's

[sterile wraith]

several

[wheat flax]

Has anyone managed to get those secret Favor items yet?

[celest raft]

aren't there red rarity items? Are those rarer than yellow?

[glass cipher]

marathillion players

[west ember]

Runnah,
[0/4] Spray paint “UESC SUX” on the bathroom walls in outpost

[sterile wraith]

not all but i have a fair few, what's up

[dark rampart]

I have a decent amount of them filled out

[inland quail]

eu?

[mellow pivot]

To do vaults you need to: 1)watch the YouTube guide on each vault (use the first video that pops up , it has a sniper rifle on the subnail)
2)As soon as you get clearance 1 you should leave your area and go to control to collect clearances around the map(there is a guide) for this as well. When you get to clearance 2 you should go to control and farm clearance 3 in : Steerage,Biostock and Cargo (from bots) when you have got a clearance 3 you can open a locked room in Steerage to get Cryo coolant. Also you can try to get additional monitors on the map outskirts

[celest raft]

I forget who said they were at like level 120 but I have to assume that temporal fragment juices atp

since it scales with season level

[formal moss]

Im looking at it and it says 43/58 but when i look in it im only missing 1 in combat utility and one in weapons. That leaves 13 things unaccounted for that im not seeing at all

[remote finch]

my salt cry for the night, whoever ended our six key very cool, awesome.

[wheat flax]

Maybe it wasn’t you I’m NA. But we just had a lobby where our team and 2 others were in a stalemate and my team stole the final exfil by luckily guessing which one spawned

[sterile wraith]

huh, that's odd. one sec, lemme launch the game and see what's what

[dark rampart]

Once it hits lvl 60 or 65 i think its the only part that matters, after that you either get golds or you dont

[celest raft]

I got to try the Outland finally, hits like a truck

[dark rampart]

I lost my outland and gold volt thrower earlier💔

[sterile wraith]

you had better hit, though

[celest raft]

I have one sitting rn, I lost another tho

and yeah, Longshot is more forgiving/better for follow up shots

[wheat flax]

A couple of my entires are like that too maybe it’s a glitch

[kind depot]

just got my first gold mis from outpost back pinwheel room

[celest raft]

chat, what do we think of the Impact H-AR

is it a vault decoration or chad laser beam

[glass cipher]

thank god for marathon its gotten me into video editing for stupid little edits and its fun as hell

[dark rampart]

Depends, has to have the right attachments but then its pretty good, especially on Triage or Vandal i feel

[celest raft]

pro tip for pinwheel is to rush the end of each wing when you get inside and IMMEDIATELY go for the strongboxes at the end of each, they have easily the best loot there usually, at least the most in one spot

[celest raft]

is it good enough to justify bringing over M77?

[glass cipher]

wait are the Theologians new lore in Marathon, i dont recall these guys being mentioned in the og games with their 'gods'

[dark rampart]

No not really the M77 is too good

[celest raft]

sounds like it, I haven't kept up properly with the development of the lore

[woven rock]

depends, legendary version with good recoil grip for impact does major damage + the heat, m77 with the unique or gold beats it by far tho

[kind depot]

clicked right through the lore tbh

[forest vale]

I do truly wonder if dire marsh could be worse but we will see in season two!!!

[celest raft]

I have 9 rn lol

its just the do anything gun really, the built in optic is also fantastic

[glass cipher]

alright just making sure because it sounds important, specifically being on the marathon its new lore and they might go somewhere with them, some alien worshipping human cult maybe thats my guess

[sterile wraith]

which category are you missing them under specifically for each? i,e weapon type, and utility

[crisp cloak]

Some people really like it. Others prefer an LMG or something with a faster rate of fire.

I find it a solid chunky auto. Reminds me of an aggressive frame in Destiny 2. High damage, lower ROF, but a nice workhorse.

[formal moss]

Combat utility and weapons. 2 kills within 7 seconds with the twin tap and the trap bag kill

[sterile wraith]

basically requires the recoil reducing foregrip, but then it mows UESC pretty damn good and is no slouch vs runners either

[dark rampart]

Impact feels good with Vandal in her ult though and you can like 5 tap people in the head, it is a solid gun

[reef plank]

M77 better but good with investment, needs too much investment tho

[celest raft]

overall I thinik that the Misriah is probably the scariest gun in the game to run into, hits like a WSTR practically but it has like 6 or 8 shots instead of two lol, better range/spread too iirc

[glass cipher]

m77 is probably my favorite AR, it shreds like hell

[woven rock]

got 14 fully kitted gold mizzys, i am a scary man right now

[dark rampart]

Yeah if you dont have slick mag Misriah in Cryo its mostly ggs

[worn quarry]

holy shit 765 million lost, thats worst than concord

[celest raft]

Cryo?

[glass cipher]

nope :D thats projected value of Bungie themselves, not actual money buddy

[worn quarry]

it really was concord 3 after all

[woven rock]

ranked/cryo yeah

[dark rampart]

I have 5 gold and two purple, waiting for that Ganglion barter man

[sterile wraith]

yeah i dunno what to tell you, looking at it even though i have 49 unlocked i can see all the ones i don't have

[celest raft]

"grrrr Sony executives are making slightly less money than they theoretically could, time to put a shit ton of people out of work"

[formal moss]

Maybe if I complete them it will update

[worn quarry]

theyre still coping in the chat to OMG ITS BAD BOYS. theyll drink big gulp of copium until they close the servers ig.

[teal zealot]

what is bro saying

[formal moss]

Why are you here?

[dark rampart]

Why do yall always have no pfp

[celest raft]

very positive on Steam and 86 on Metacritic btw

[sterile wraith]

very weaksauce trolling attempt i guess but sony's said they intend to continue support for the game 🤷‍♀️

[crisp cloak]

I dunno. It’s essentially an adaptive frame shotgun that feels like the Destiny 2 Wastelander M6 (note the name). It’s all around great and easy to use.

I still find certain weapons more terrifying in the right hands. People sleep on the Chanel Rifle for example.

[glass cipher]

he's speaking to someone not here gulp

[worn quarry]

yea bro very positive, everyone lloves marathon, they lvoe it so much they decided not to play it anymore. congrats on ur 40 dollar sunk cost.

[formal moss]

Because they are to embarrassed to do it on main so they hide behind an alt

[celest raft]

I havent fired the channel rifle once, its too valuable to not sell imo

[oak oriole]

i bet ur mom sees you as a 40 year sunk cost

[worn quarry]

bros are playing a game with 10k aactive players on a daily lmaooooooooooo, im crying

[glass cipher]

40 dollars for 400 hours of hype moments? fuuuuuck well worth the cost 👅

[glass peak]

is there a weapons tier list

[sterile wraith]

are we supposed to care what you think?

[crisp cloak]

It’s the only gun in the game with what’s essentially hitscan. Terrifying in the hands of good Triage players.

[celest raft]

im sure everyone will migrate to it since Embark is making Arrowhead level decisions in balancing and showing that they're "experts" of making a game up as they go

[mortal sequoia]

Marathon game security update? Did marathon get hacked?

[quaint adder]

You play rivals😭

[formal moss]

There are a couple with and without pestige attachments. You should be able to find them online

[worn quarry]

im sure everyone will migrate to it he said BAHAHAHAH, omg bros are coping so hard. im dying. im sure there willl be a massive migration soon bud for sure. let me check active players on steam right now

[glass peak]

whats the general consensus of vandal? i’ve heard she’s around B tier right.

[sterile wraith]

reverb fart

[celest raft]

yeah its weird how bullets work in this game

they're not hitscan but velocity is so high it might as well be mostly, except for energy weapons

[crisp cloak]

No. It’s just communication that they’re actively working on addressing cheating and banning cheaters.

[glass cipher]

he's legit like an escape mental ward patient :( its kind of sad

[dark rampart]

📊🤓

[worn quarry]

a whopping 7,801 players online, omg 10/10 ign, huge migration soon guys

[formal moss]

Shes good but has a high skill ceiling

[sterile wraith]

reverb fart

[eager forum]

Honestly I almost gave up on the game several times. But now it is one of my favorite game. Dont change the fact that the experience for newbies and casuals is miserable and something need to be done if we want to play this this for a long time

[celest raft]

Arc sitting at mixed on Steam btw

[dark rampart]

Mid early game, great late game when you have all upgrades and access to her best cores etc, def a learning curve for her playstyle though

[worn quarry]

i think an 11 year old game destiny 2 might over take its numbers soon guys.

[formal moss]

Thats how wipes go usually

[glass cipher]

gulp this dude doesnt know about destiny 1, the TRUE destiny

[celest raft]

disagree, I think a lot of people who play games are way too pampered now, I had very little issue ranking all my factions and unlocking each map solo or not

[sterile wraith]

imo the best way to play vandal is to be an annoying shitbird

[worn quarry]

i think near wipe they might as well close doewn the servers sense there will be like 100 players online LMAO

[formal moss]

I dont really thing he knows much of anything but we dont talk to roleless users

[sterile wraith]

just be a twitchy hit and run mosquito and use that vertical mobility for all it's worth

[glass cipher]

its fun though 😭 its like talking to a little chimp at the zoo banging on the glass :D

[eager forum]

Still the game need more people to play it. If you are a good player good for you but most people find the game too difficult

[crisp cloak]

That’s the Tyger engine. (Most) Bullets have real distance falloff and velocity.

It’s why range is one of the most important stats. Especially on, say, SMGs.

[dark rampart]

Well yeah, getting off angles is her specialty, a lot of people want to just slide into a team with a shotgun and then complain when they die though

[celest raft]

my point is that you don't even have to be GOOD to actually progress in the game as long as you're persistent enough..

[worn quarry]

the game has no good players, its just a bunch of freaks who suck at every other video game coming to a game no one likes or plays so they can be good at something, or at leats think they are

[sterile wraith]

yes, that's what i'm saying - the key is to play her like scout tf2 mixed with faith from mirror's edge and i'm not joking

[glass cipher]

exactly what happened with me, i was terrible at pvp for a long while but i managed to climb the totem pole regardless

[crisp cloak]

You joined this server today and have a default pfp.

[celest raft]

this game is set up in such a way that you will make incremental progress over time as long as you don't just rage quit after 3 hours and act like you actually tried

[digital pelican]

"this game has no good players, just players that cant be good at other games so they come be good in this game" bro contradicted himself

[dark rampart]

Her triple jump and boost jump height cores let her get into crazy spots on Cryo

[olive vortex]

W ragebait 9.6/10

[sterile wraith]

you kidding? it's some of the weakest bait i've ever seen

[simple plank]

Is there a Hidden weekly Quest for cryo Archive, which wants one to exfil a Compiler Ganglion? If i reroll all my Quest it does Not come Up. I want the Codex entry for doing all 7 Tasks in a weekend

[supple thunder]

Get a life

[worn quarry]

why else would you be playing thi sgame, its like the dad diablo 4 extraction shooter game.

[forest vale]

Other than frag grenades is there anything g that needs a major nerf?

[formal moss]

Its all about having a stable mental

[crisp cloak]

It’s funny how the 3-4 hours seems to be the magic number for it to click for most.

[olive vortex]

Oh. Well I don't ragebait cuz it's stupid so I wouldn't know

[glass cipher]

recon my beloved i need to get her some crazy ass cosmetic or something, i play her too much to not buy her something

[celest raft]

you can't SERIOUSLY complain about this game being too sweaty/difficult until you reach Sekiguchi contracts, then you have a leg to stand on.

[sterile wraith]

yeah for real, she can be downright infuriating to face in the hands of somebody who really knows how to use her

[formal moss]

Need to start buffing instead of nerfing. Alot of stuff is in a good pace rn

[celest raft]

just play sponsored Marsh and lock the fuck in for 5 seconds its really not that bad

[odd totem]

it's ok for game to be hard and people to be sweaty. not everyone has to complete everything and some content being aspirational is good

[crisp cloak]

I play for the drinkable cheeseburgers.

I don’t think there are any other reasons.

[sterile wraith]

neither do i but i've been around the net a while, this isn't even 1/10, this is like .25/10 tops

[worn quarry]

i work 60 hours a week, and ahve 3 kids extraction shooter.

[olive vortex]

Oh you mean arc raiders

[crisp cloak]

Can this man type a complete sentence without typos?

[celest raft]

too many people mistake this as a personal sleight or that the game is designed for no one effectively

sponsored dire marsh was a great step in the right direction too

nice seeing you here btw

[worn quarry]

arc raiders sucks

[forest vale]

A good portion of the legendary guns fs need a buff ngl

[olive vortex]

Bro probably is genuinely heated that's why hes making so many errors

[eager forum]

True but think about it casuals dont have tons of time

[worn quarry]

if you love extraction shooters just go play tarkov, why playa dead inferior version of it

[celest raft]

I wanna try the gold BRRT mod that makes it a shotgun

[odd totem]

personally hate the sponsored kit modes because I play the game as an arena shooter and if I win a fight in sponsored kit mode I don't get shit out of the engagement

[olive vortex]

Tarkov is so gross now

[supple thunder]

This is so wrong and you don’t even know why

[forest vale]

That mod is so good only bad thing is it burns through ammo

[glass cipher]

dude the DRRVSH or however its spelled is HELLA good, i got it in vault 01 and its gnarrrrly

[celest raft]

that's fair, but this game isn't on the level of Tarkov where you have to play for 6 hours straight to do anything meaningful, just a couple of successful runs can gear you for a fat min

[formal moss]

I think its just the nature of the maps rn ngl. If we had a cryo difficult map that was large like perimeter those would prob see more use

[odd totem]

i have lost so many drrvishes I can't tell if the mod sucks or I suck with it

[quaint adder]

Holy I know you

[celest raft]

it looks disgusting from what I've seen

[worn quarry]

its like im a chud, i doubt the game is horrible, i bet its even fun, but like why play that when i could just go play tarkov, or even that knock off is probably better than marathon, so many other bettter games to play.

[odd totem]

why play tarkov when you could play a fun video game

[dark rampart]

Drrvish unironically buffed when wstr got nuked

[formal moss]

Believe it or not I can play more than one game at once

[worn quarry]

like if im going to waste my time on an extraction shooter mindaswell waste it on the god of extraction shooters

[supple thunder]

Why are you here? Just a trumpy minion

[odd totem]

i am many places, none of them serious

[formal moss]

to ragebait

[forest vale]

I like the gold charge shotgun but it feels inconsistent at times

[nova stump]

I’d recommend blocking the complainers it makes chat funny and denies them the attention they evidently crave

[glass cipher]

yknow what ill give you this bud, tarkov does seem pretty cool

[celest raft]

so far I've only found a gold punch mod, I forget what it did

[odd totem]

ragebait will make me god

[violet harness]

Once more contents in the game, this will probs be better than Tarkov

Well imo it is ahah

[worn quarry]

40 dollars for a eh game, thats most likely on a downhill slide. just not worth it, go play tarkov or cs 2 or league, or rivals or littearly any other game

[supple thunder]

You can’t rage bait with the stupidest comments ever 😂

[odd totem]

I think I've used all the gold mods at this point but I have over 500 hours so.....

[glass cipher]

aha but you see, the same way you like those games is the same way we like THIS game :J

[formal moss]

Ill play Marathon AND those

[celest raft]

I like the idea of Tarkov more than playing Tarkov in reality even though I think it does a lot of cool stuff

the raw gunplay/PvP is peak though and it does make me want to get Arena for more of just that with none of the baggage or shitty optimization (at least on Streets...)

[worn quarry]

if you like marathon and its your first extraction shooter, and you love it, you havent seen anything yet, its like a gateway drug to tarkov

[supple thunder]

The Clown has spoken

[formal moss]

Thats how I feel about Rust lol. I enjoy watching it more than playing it

[wraith gyro]

[crisp cloak]

Why not try and enjoy both? You’ll appreciate them and the genre more deeply.

Instead it seems like you’re wasting your own time intentionally trying to rile people up with a discord account thats been on this server less than a day.

You can certainly continue. But no one’s going to lose more from it than you will.

[odd totem]

tarkov is designed to not be very fun

[worn quarry]

you're smokign weed when you could be doing heroine, and if you're gonna be a drug addict mindaswell do the best drug no?

[celest raft]

thats another thing about Tarkov, its one of the most fun games to WATCH someone else play, that's why it blew up on Twitch I think

[glass cipher]

hmmm i think arc is more of a gateway drug considering how open it is to new players but you're right, tarkov looks like the most extreme extraction shooter

[formal moss]

Tarkov is good man, def something id reccomend playing even if its pve

[celest raft]

Tarkov isn't "fun" from what I can imagine, but when the dopamine hits do arrive its like nothing else either, probably

extraction shooters as a whole are kind of like gambling but with a bit more skill to them lol

[wraith gyro]

Marathon helped me quit gambling ❤️

[celest raft]

Arena actually seems pretty fun, on the other hand

some of the loadouts seem weirdly designed/balanced tho-

[formal moss]

ong some people complain about the new player experience in this game, You should try Tarkov lmfao

[glass cipher]

no they should try destiny 2 😭 its horrific trying it out for the first time

[wraith gyro]

And cocaine

[celest raft]

they did actually improve the new player onboarding for Tarkov significantly imo, but its still brutal of course lol, compared to before though its downright friendly

Starting on GZ and all, I mean

[nova stump]

Mfw my new player billets literally can’t harm Kevlar

[odd totem]

there's just too many bullshit mechanics

I don't care about hunger or thirst or fatigue or limb damage or carrying good ammo none of this adds to the fun of shooting people

it's literally why I like marathon over other more "hardcore" extract shooters bc they don't serve the pvp focus I like as well as shield kit or heal kit does

[forest vale]

Can you even fully enjoy the game without pulling out your wallet?

[formal moss]

For sure, I went back and put hours in when 1.0 released. SO much better lol

[glass cipher]

HHHHEEELL NO LMAO, my destiny friends are like "dude we NEED to play witch queen" and it costs 30 bucks rn 😭 (though i think the entire dlc bundle was like 6 dollars a couple weeks ago so yknow, its a good deal)

[odd totem]

like I have idk 50 or 60 hours in tarkov so not a ton but enough to determine what I didn't like about it was more than what I liked about it, I really fuck with marathon's immense pvp focus and just play it purely as an arena shooter by rushing spawns on outpost 24/7

[rich bone]

Hey yall im tryna find matches in dire marsh as a fill, but i'm never able to get a match. Is there a priority queue for mic'ed players or something? I don't have a mic and im getting one in a few weeks but for now i just cannot find a match to crew fill in without going solo/rook

[supple thunder]

Marathon is the only online game I play now

[celest raft]

I dont mind hunger/thirst but the RPG style soft skill mechanics are what fuck with me

why does my allegedly "trained PMC" reload like a snail and hold their gun like a toddler, I don't care if I just started playing smh

[odd totem]

it's peak. lobby wiping outpost feels like a good javelin 4 match lol

[forest vale]

Game is also like 200 GB so they make sure you can’t play anything else!!!

[nova stump]

You sadly can’t get into raids without spending money. Fortunately they routinely go on massive sales

[wraith gyro]

Same. I might play Fortnite or Mortal Kombat once in a while but marathon got me by da vajayjay

[formal moss]

Its def that line of one being significantly more competitive than the other

[nova stump]

Trained, doesn’t mean trained well :)

[glass cipher]

i enjoy how marathon is a hardcore extraction shooter in the same vein as tarkov but it doesnt have the same evil immersion depth that tarkov has, the gameplay is satisfyingly optimized to keep the game challenging without delving into having to eat food and drink water or worry about your ammo type

[sour fern]

The new sony quarterly statement $765m impairment loss with bungie now

[supple thunder]

Marathon is the techno of extraction shooter, if you get it you get it. I’d rather not minger with the garden variety “edm” people

[celest raft]

Private military corps only tend to take the best of the best tho...

[odd totem]

some of my tarkov buddies are less a fan of marathon because it's impossible to stealth and avoid fights a lot of the time but that's a thing I really like

[nova stump]

There is a mic or no mic split. You can try solos if that helps? Or if you happen to be OCE I can help

[wintry bough]

God I wish we could ping mods. But that's Bannable apparently.

[formal moss]

Yea it doesnt really play like an extraction shooter. Or at least not like how the genre has been played for the past x amount of years

[quaint adder]

You don’t remember me smh

[celest raft]

[sour fern]

7,000 players in game right now??? Floperoni

[glass cipher]

MAN i hope sentinel is that UESC shell we've seen screenshots of, i loooove their design

[rich bone]

not oce but thank you, im guessing non mic split is super unpopular. For now i need teams to progress contracts on stuff since only perimeter is solo

[odd totem]

ah yeah i don't play solos lol

[celest raft]

also, for anyone who's played a lot more EFT than me recently and played leading up to 1.0, did the performance improve with 1.0? I can't tell if its just my settings or the game as well...

[sour fern]

Why are you asking that here

[glass cipher]

im really unable tell ngl, ive stopped paying attention to my framerate a while ago 😭 (oh wait escape from tarkov bru)

[celest raft]

it was relevant to the discussion above? Try scrolling up?

[nova stump]

I feel like that’s definitely possible. Many fights I engage in I could’ve booked it with very few fights I couldn’t disengage from

[formal moss]

Yea they did for sure. Streets is the only map that still sorta chugs compared to other maps

[sour fern]

Why dont you just look at the patch notes

[rich bone]

i think its pretty good for a $40 dollar game, might spike with a few discounts or smth later on, or with more content in general cause extraction shooters are an established market, this isn't the new Lethal Company or anything after all

[nova stump]

Wdym only Perimeter is solo? You can’t turn off team fill? Only Cryo shouldn’t allow solo runs rn

[celest raft]

asking is faster

[sour fern]

No it wont

[rich bone]

wierd ill try again maybe im being dumb but i couldnt make a game yesterday

[astral turtle]

the continued discourse around this game is incredibly funny to me, especially from people who loved the Destiny franchise

[rich bone]

no it wont how Mr genius?

[celest raft]

now, Ill say it once more

BUNGIE, RESTOCK THE WEAVEWORM PLUSH, AND MY LIFE IS LAID DOWN FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nova stump]

If you turn off crew fill while alone it will queue you into solo games, doubles does you as 2 into trios queue rn

[supple thunder]

As long as they keep at it, it will grow. This culture war bs is going to blow over

[sour fern]

Cause the game has only lost 90% of its players nothing will fix this game nothing will fix the nearing $1b lost revenue sony spent on bungie

[nova stump]

Knowing D2’s history it will never blow over and complainers will just move goalposts

[formal moss]

Dooming must be fun

[celest raft]

people at large are way too dense to realize that long term player retention is so much more important for a live service than peak numbers early after launch

[sour fern]

This game has no player retention

[glass cipher]

gulp we've got someone in disguise over here, this mf is a FRAUD you dont uphold the Arachne principles

[celest raft]

either way my point is made, even if that is the case, and it's why people continue to dogpile this game for no real relevant reason

[brisk bay]

Is anyone else in oceania (AU/NZ) getting an obscene amount of server lag and/or error codes the last couple days?

[simple plank]

Is there a Hidden weekly Quest for cryo Archive, which wants one to exfil a Compiler Ganglion? If i reroll all my Quest it does Not come Up. I want the Codex entry for doing all 7 Tasks in a weekend

almost how most games with wipes would theoretically would & have worked lol, go play a rust wipe the last week & see how may active players are balling around

[simple plank]

argh, unlucky, but thanks. wont try it then

[glass cipher]

yknow what maybe we shouldve attacked ubisoft, they're one of the worst games companies in recent years 😭 every game of theirs is like 60% cut corners

[eager forum]

It is because maps are small in marathon it has a lot of friction between players. It is why I am advocating for larger maps, more vertical with tall building, for pushing the game a little toward more of an extraction shooter (with the ability to play stealth, loot and exfil if you can like in tarkov ) and a little bit less toward pvp. It could with one two more maps that would be larger.
Also make the game a little bit more PvE oriented with new boss… even for casuals (now tbh it is odd the compiler is pure PvE but only available for people good at PvP for accessing it).
And eventuall add a new faction favoring coop (could be inspired by what they did with carrie).
I think with these changes a lot of different people would be happy with the game not being so different for hardcore players and being more interesting for casual and newbie.
I really wish bungie could read my message and consider it

[rich bone]

The all time peak on steam is about 77k, active playerbase 8k. Figures seem normal, especially since the game is in early stages with far less content overall. The fact that it has very positive reviews on steam demonstrates why the sony product teams (who are a LOT smarter than your dumbass) are continueing service for the game. Not because of playerbase number but because of retention

[sour fern]

I havent played marathon since before the newest map I just saw the new sony financial statement and bungie is now nearly $1b impairment loss to sony seeing if people were still thinking this game wont be shut down in 6-12 months

[formal moss]

Don't really understand why
You just complete 6 quests and 7th will replace solve a vault with extract ganglion

[eager forum]

Do you think it would be worth posting this message in feedback? I am afraid people will hate for it

[wintry bough]

Fuck Ubisoft, EA and Activision started this behavior in the first place.

[celest raft]

they do need to add Orion as a raid boss at some point, I'd be hype as hell

[sour fern]

Yeah because theres 8k people that will maybe buy some mtx and their going to tey to get what they can before they axe the game its not going to grow its not going to even be around this time next year

[formal moss]

WE NEED MORE FIFA

[glass cipher]

at least my GOATS at bethesda have NEVER done anything wrong :J
-# gulp

[fallen echo]

the impairment loss is because Bungie is no longer working on the like 5 projects at once because they stopped a few and handed one off to Sony, so the capital development which is what had the loss does not warrent as much money as beforehand

[unborn sundial]

we should throw bethesda into the bad batch too

[supple thunder]

don’t engage with a guy who can’t read, sony made a direct statement about marathon & its future, if he’s too lazy to read that then he shouldn’t be dooming about in a discord meant for the game

I wouldn't say Warframe is a game for everyone

the PvE is pretty brainless more often than not, until you get to Steel Path. Conclave is...conclave. There's also the timegating.

[formal moss]

I love WF but its so overwhelming lmfao

[granite fulcrum]

the evil with a face is still more trustable than the faceless evil

[sour fern]

No its not an impairment loss is an unrecoverable loss in this case its an over evaluation of bungies 3.6b cost to buy so right now what that means is sony is taking a non recoverable $700m loss which will only grow

not gonna say who for personal safety reasons but they are direct blood to me. Not HR either but internal software (again not gonna specify) and also makes more money in a year than you will in the better half of your life, especially since you probably dont actually have a job. Diminishing what i have to say by saying 'oh probably just a distant long lost cousin makes you look as dumb as you are. At least try to hide your stupidity

if you were the triage who tried following us into complier and got beamed by us and waited for us to die to boss. We didnt, get fucked LMAO

[fallen echo]

also curious you didn't actually mention capital development like the actual document did... care to comment?

[wintry bough]

Maybe tell them to stop their greedy practices and they might get more good grace

[astral turtle]

& they can join up on a free to play weekend start of s2, which definitely w sony talking about this games’ future & their own plan to get more people to try the game, expect that. why force people to try the game end of season against lv200-300s

[sour fern]

Impairment
loss occurs when a business asset suffers an unexpected, permanent depreciation in fair market value in excess of the book value of the asset on a company's financial statements. Assets can experience this decrease in value for a variety of reasons

[formal moss]

They said they are continuing support for the game and intend to focus on growing it so who cares. Just enjoy it or not lmfao

[fallen echo]

a variety of reasons such as?

[rich bone]

It does? I can literally get access to lower confidentiality internal statistics, not to mention the PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BROADCAST states that they are continuing support based on RETENTION not playerbase

[celest raft]

the sad part to me is that people just don't want two (or three if you count Tarkov) cakes

why can there be only one successful extraction shooter lol

[nova stump]

You see if they don’t keep complaining they won’t get attention that they evidently lack

[astral turtle]

maybe if you’d apply how much you hate this game towards getting a job you wouldn’t be unemployed at 25+ years of age sitting in a discord

[supple thunder]

Yes, I think a free to play event might be good. Could be a week long

[sour fern]

Lol

[novel birch]

fr. its not hard to ignore the steam ccu/pocket watching bozos. let them talk to no one and they'll tire themselves out and leave.

[nova stump]

Free to play weeks on wipes would go hard. Plus a big sale?

[celest raft]

Embark and Bungie should do a bundle with this game and Arc for like $60

they'd literally both benefit from it

[rich bone]

Woah hold up dude i dont have that power over them lol, besides they do make good money aside from what grifters on youtube say, so i think good graces aren't their number one priority

[astral turtle]

have them set up a 50% deal for a week after a free to play weekend idk, they want more players & who knows how they’ll go about that

[formal moss]

Really if you look at whats on the market rn there is a little something for everyone tbh. Takov is more real and hardcore, Delta force is like cod extraction, Arc is more pve oriented, and Marathon is more pve competitive. Its really neat to see

[sour fern]

What kind of dumb is this

[tulip echo]

Why would embark attached themselves to this sinking ship

[supple thunder]

Plus, every friend I played with who lasted over a week end up playing it almost everyday

[obtuse orchid]

im tipssy WHEEE i love this game :333 im nugget i love marahtotn

[astral turtle]

get a job

[celest raft]

because people can play more than one game, and like good deals?

[cosmic forge]

Such a good idea. Every wipe should have a free to play week at the start.

[dusky locust]

Nah, if you kill too many players in Arc and queue again you get put into a Cryo lobby

[fresh raptor]

Delta is nothing like CoD extraction, there is a literal cod extraction game

[sour fern]

Ok

[azure urchin]

embarks ship is sinking faster

[dusky locust]

And if you die in Perimeter in the first 2 mins in Marathon and queue again you get loaded into Arc Raiders carebear lobby

[tulip echo]

Lol no its not

[formal moss]

Its the only thing I could compare it to honestly. I put some time in but not a whole lot and I completely forgot about DMZ lol

[nova stump]

Unironically a free week and sale on the wipe, with better new player experience would be like crack in the 80s

[supple thunder]

Or be rich and learn how impairment works

[unborn sundial]

DONT GET A JOB it SUCKS

[sour fern]

Explain it

[cosmic forge]

“I completely forgot about DMZ” who hasn’t, really?

[azure urchin]

its just bigger man its sinking

[celest raft]

Riven Tides was so fucking lame

map has exactly no loot basically and way way way too much PvE, the only fun spot to fight at is the hotel, we've gotten the worst map condition yet, and you have next to zero reason to fight the Turbine let alone have to go near it

not to mention the most godawful balancing updates of all time possibly

[fresh raptor]

Thats fair, DMZ is still completely active just has a cheating problem

[nova stump]

I should get a job QQ

[dusky locust]

DON'T DON'T GET A JOB it SUCKS TOO

[tulip echo]

You really are delusional lol

[wintry bough]

Meanwhile me...
Everybody's hiring but nobody's getting hired

[cold stump]

arc raiders at mixed reviews

[formal moss]

Wait deadass? Thats actually pretty neat

[unborn sundial]

my ass would be collecting disability if it were actually enough to live on i have worked enough for 1 lifetime

[supple thunder]

I don’t help retar ds

[astral turtle]

job market is poop all pettiness aside & im lucky to have gotten a job I enjoy, if that isn’t an option for others I get it

[sour fern]

Thats why you cant help yourself

[formal moss]

Usually with Cods coming out so fast youd think people would move on from it

[fallen echo]

You're either not an accountant or you're just a bad one if you think the impairment loss of a subsidiary because of decreased capital development, brought on by the fact Bungie no longer has as many projects that require more money to be warrented to them, means anything significant toward this games particular performance.

So I'll just assume you're a ragebaiter

[nova stump]

Ngl I straight up think 90% of the job ads literally exist to harvest data. Why is it while I was actively searching for jobs I got way more scam calls and ads than when I don’t. Weird coincidence

[unborn sundial]

ppl gettin fired all the time in blue collar fields tbh

[celest raft]

it deserves it rn, they ruined gun durability and destroyed the photoelectric cloak as an item basically lol

punished players for trying to avoid the insane Arc spam on the new map, when there's next to no loot that's actually worth it unless you have a key and it's night lol

[astral turtle]

anything Nexon owns is a scam waiting to happen

[celest raft]

you make a good point

[fresh raptor]

Yeah, just a week or two ago Activison updated what the servers were hosted on and migrated them from Vultr to Google servers to fix some exploits.

[supple thunder]

“Don’t” & “can’t” are different, tiny R

[obtuse orchid]

im nugget im 4'11" i olovee marathon :3

[cosmic forge]

It’s spelled “Nestle”

[celest raft]

looks at Maplestory
"STOP STOP HE'S ALREADY DEAAAAAAAD!!!!!!"

[nova stump]

The smallest thing ever

[unborn sundial]

bench press your way to 6'4 lil bro

[formal moss]

OH and Redsec, forgot about battlefields as well

[celest raft]

I tried Redsec and thought it was better than Warzone, which isn't saying much, but it's something I guess

[astral turtle]

ex ceo of Nexon crying that was unfair sold me that they have no values

[formal moss]

Early Warzone was some of the most fun ive had in BR

[nova stump]

@wintry bough you have a very nice pfp fyi. I don’t know if you saw my dm or not but he

[mint trench]

your bio literally says that you are not nugget, who are you then?

[dusky locust]

Extraction Shooters are an incomplete genre. What we need are Extraction Soulslikes.

[obtuse orchid]

im drinrking so much white wine like a white womana (dont even call me that agian)

[unborn sundial]

what the fuck is going on

[viral snow]

redsec the game was better, but playing against the players is so shit, wz players will actually run at you (if ur not in bot elo)

[nova stump]

What does this entail

[formal moss]

untapped market, get to it

[celest raft]

I do think that Embark is a really talented team of developers that are capable but they really have made a lot of choices with Arc that don't satisfy me, despite how excited I was for it in the first place since playing in tech test 2 and the server slam

everything you pick up that isn't a blueprint, gun, meds, or rare materials feels like absolute trash, none of the items hold any true weight really

[dusky locust]

It's just Dark Souls but everytime you die you lose everything.

[mint trench]

hop on nightreign bro

[odd totem]

you leave your souls on the ground and have to pick them up next run ezpz next question

[sour fern]

What

[fallen echo]

nice, you understood none of that

[inland quail]

Imagine screamings of casuals

[brave marten]

a duo q is all i ask

[cosmic forge]

Wasn’t there a CEO who publicly complained that Valve was winning digital distribution and said something along the lines of “it’s not fair, they provide a service of such a high caliber that it stifles any competition”.

[celest raft]

Arc is almost too easy come easy go when it comes to gear

[formal moss]

Its coming next season

[sour fern]

Cause its dumb

[nova stump]

Pretty sure they said they’re gonna have it in testing next season, like they’re doing with sponsored and stuff

[brave marten]

better be for every map

[fallen echo]

you still haven't addressed the capital development btw

[odd totem]

ngl i burn my entire vault and wallet every weekend i feel like gear is easy come easy go in marathon too

[astral turtle]

for a bunch of ex dice devs they put their newfound faith in a shitty shareholder, so I could care less about them indefinitely, they release games for a profit as a live service & don’t do shit with them past their first updates

[mint trench]

just do no death runs

[formal moss]

Wasnt it the EPIC CEO? That mf has it out for Valve

[inland drum]

guys i got a problem on marathon voicechat, yesterday i was running cryo with lfg and iwe were talking just fine, then the suddenly i couldnt hear them and we had to join discord room. anybody knows why?

[sour fern]

Because that doesn't matter at all in anyway

[viral snow]

think i remeber this 😆

[formal moss]

Prob not cryo but who knows

[nova stump]

I have noticed this as an issue yeah. I had to fiddle with the settings to fix it

[fallen echo]

the fact you say this is case in point why you're either not an accountant or just a really really shit one 😂

[celest raft]

I agree with you, it's easier to get an abundance of good gear/weapons but the loot still feels meaningful because there's valuables that are ACTUALLY WORTH A LOT OF MONEY

the most expensive valuable in Arc is like 10k coins or so? 20k maybe? That's absolute fucking peanuts especially when the expedition used to require 5 million to get the max skill points

[cosmic forge]

Yeah that was him. Like, dude…. Make a better product. You are like definitionally not entitled to be a competitor.

[nova stump]

@viscid anchor little bro why don’t you talk? You scared?

[astral turtle]

do you lack friends or family that this is what you do all day instead? id have some sympathy for your attention seeking behavior

[calm wren]

I shid my pant

[formal moss]

I spht my pant

[brisk bay]

I love being a rat in Hauler and knifing people in the back while they're nose deep in arms lockers

[dusky locust]

We need a true extraction shooter. If you die you can't play until next wipe. Last player on the server is crowned the goat.

[wintry bough]

No I didn't, I have dms off or on request.
But thanks

[sour fern]

Explain how the capital development effects the absolute and un recoverable $700m

[celest raft]

every time you get shot in game you get shot with that bullet in real life

[nova stump]

There was also CEO’s at SKG that were complaining bc they had to kill games to improve sales numbers iirc.

[wintry bough]

Let's make it a full dive VR game while we're at it.

[fallen echo]

because they literally said it as the reason if you actually read the document, or even just the footnote of the games and networking tab in the presentation slides 😂

[sour fern]

They said what explain it

[odd totem]

why don't we actually send a ship to tau ceti while we're doing stuff may as well just go for it

[violet harness]

Bahahaha I’m one challenge off my first title thing

[mossy grove]

Is anyone just de-motivated to play when none of your friends are online and you have to lfg?

[wraith gyro]

No

[cosmic forge]

I remember that too. It’s almost like executive is zero skill made up job that involves invoking bullshit buzzwords and weaponizing your own misunderstanding of how businesses work.

[sour fern]

Yeah about 80k people

[nova stump]

You tried solos b4?

[formal moss]

Use the lfg channels, there are some cool people that play

[crisp cloak]

“On today’s episode of Tau Ceti Crimson Slaugterhouse, we pair two destroyers against 19 Rooks….”

[unborn sundial]

hello nah i just solo queue

[violet harness]

None of my friends play marathon, I just try to lead my randoms

[fallen echo]

yeah you didn't read it lol

[wraith gyro]

I’ve literally made a grip of consistent teams through Lfg either here or just randoms I find on crew fill

[nova stump]

@quartz remnant why don’t you talk? You scared little bro?

[brisk bay]

Friends??? Put on a podcast and go solo spamming sponsored kits, your life is currency and you are a millionaire at the wishing well

[sour fern]

You cant explain what your trying to say

[celest raft]

this game has one of the best loading screens of all time ngl

[unborn sundial]

wish theyd add in game clans and lfg

[nova stump]

Emoji react clowns back at it in full force

[wraith gyro]

Just b yourself and have the right attitude when you play , communicate and you’ll find cool people to play with

[subtle turret]

Hello marathon losers

[wintry bough]

I still think solo modes need a bit of love.

[brisk bay]

Forreal, though, relatable :(

[unborn sundial]

i will never recover from this

[fallen echo]

neither can you,
"Impairment losses against Bungie, Inc.’s intangible and other assets (120.1 blnyen) and expenses resulting from a correction in the amount of certain previously capitalized development costs (18.3 blnyen) recorded in FY25"

oh look, it's what I said

[rich bone]

J*B, pplication, Eployment, ********

[brisk bay]

I'm loving solo so far, feels abit like Tarkov

[sour fern]

Wow

[inner raft]

Game is completely different in solos. You just want to low profile free kit for quests until your friends are back online. Unless they adjust solos TTK by giving some extra HP when you're running solos, it will always be that way

[celest raft]

has anyone else tried Active Matter? I gave it a shot during the playtest and liked it a lot, it's like Tarkov but with the anomalies of Stalker, there's even gravitational anomalies that let you walk up walls

[wintry bough]

It's just super empty other than kinda ratty pvp and then you have the occasional good run. Endgame content is locked behind a squad too.

[potent sand]

I can't wait to get subnautica 2 and be too scared to play it just like the first one

[fallen echo]

and next you'll say that the capital development cost is the small number and you're still right because big number even though it also says that it's for the intangable assets which is what I said the impairment loss was initially that you then told me I was wrong for

[azure urchin]

0 dollars were lost, impairment losses are tax write offs under the gaap so its literally fake money

[sour fern]

Your a different breed of I Dont Actually Know Anything

[brisk bay]

It's not too bad but yeah, I agree about the rattyness

[unborn sundial]

NOO NOO NO NO NO WHY DIDNT I LISTEN TO JOHN YOUTUBE 300 HOURS WASTED NOOOOOOOO

heres ur reaction u wanted

[obtuse orchid]

ikm nugget :3

[fallen echo]

and you're just a redditor larping as an accountant without actually talking to one

[unborn sundial]

i am getting mixed signals from u atp

[hardy vortex]

Trying to do dna access I have the card already just need good players I’m lvl 230+

[sour fern]

This is discord

[fallen echo]

I said what I said lol

[hoary crow]

Imagine caring about a companies investor calls when you have no investment in said company 🙃

[azure urchin]

sony is optimistic about marathon they said it in their report

[sour fern]

Yeah you said alot dumb

[unborn sundial]

devastating retort

[fallen echo]

I care that people apparently care only to use it to make their point when it's misinfo

[amber hedge]

We've got a bunch of ETFs, I should check how much exposure to Sony we have

[sour fern]

I said what I said

[fallen echo]

yeah and you haven't tried to dispute what I gave you since I gave it and instead have just resorted to just saying I'm dumb, if you actually knew anything instead of fuck all you would have actually said what's wrong about it

[unborn sundial]

jokes on u i cant even read taht shit

[sour fern]

Because you didn't even give me anything to argue against nothing you did that quote even are not even at all in anyway disagreeing with what an impairment loss means

[obtuse orchid]

im sooooo tipsy

[frank bison]

Hahahaha this slop? Its the best made shooter they have made

[potent sand]

nah Halo 2 was. you take that fucking back

[fallen echo]

it said for the intangable assets for the first value and then capital development for the second and you said it wasn't for that so idk what you think you're trying to say dude

[sour fern]

This chat currently has probably 50% of the active players in it right now

[frank bison]

At the time halo 2 was… that S.A. loooong time ago

[unborn sundial]

@sour fern @fallen echo i love and respect u both but i believe you have made your respective points and are now just talking past one another 👍 it is time to agree to disagree and part ways

[subtle turret]

No, it doesn’t there’s 400k members yet only 15k players

[sour fern]

That has nothing to do with what an impairment loss means go to google and look

[potent sand]

tf is S.A.

[celest raft]

sponsored kit marsh is fun ngl

[fallen echo]

you're straight up ignoring what the literal point is and saying it's wrong

[crisp cloak]

Easy. This is one of the most impressive games Bungie’s ever made and is certainly better than both Destinys and most Halos. But games like Halo 3 and especially 2 stand above it.

I do not say the above praise lightly. This is an incredibly deep game.

[sour fern]

You cant agree to disagree when theres only one true answer and his is the wrong one

[subtle turret]

Imagine telling investors you have lost 700 million and only 15k players to show for it

[unborn sundial]

the human condition strikes again

[potent sand]

Halo 2 my beloved. Take me back

[teal zealot]

the nuh uh champions

[azure urchin]

stock market money isnt real 0 dollars were lost its a tax write off

[fallen echo]

funny, straight up ignoring actual reality and trying to will your point into it
the human condition indeed

[sour fern]

The point is sony has lost nearly $1b on bungie thats not up for debate thats what they said

[frank bison]

Its just not a game for the masses. I killed the compiler Yesterday and used 30 mins just looking at the skin. That was peak you wont Get from many games

[unborn sundial]

stick to your legos lil guy

[crisp cloak]

It’s a miracle that game released at all. Let alone came out as good as it did.

[subtle turret]

I will at least my Lego has value

[amber hedge]

You guys should share a NuCal 187, that makes all things better

[potent sand]

the best part were the endless bugs that came from it being unfinished which just made the game have even more replayability and increased skill expression. super bounces, quad shots, bxr, getting out of map, butterflying, endless

[sour fern]

The Lego batman is gonna stomp marathons numbers into the ground

[fallen echo]

they have marked down what they previously estimated the companies worth to be when they aquired it, that's not lost money dude that's a correction of an estimated value of something intangable, you should know that if this is your job

[unborn sundial]

It will fade when you hit puberty

[crisp cloak]

Nope. It’s absolutely not a game for everyone. And you can ask the question whether or not it as good idea to make a game in a niche genre that’s this punishing. On the flip side, it also is likely less expensive to maintain and develop than say, Destiny 2.

[sour fern]

Yeah that means lost money you goober

[fallen echo]

so where's the debt

[subtle turret]

I been playing Bungie games longer than most of you losers

[crisp cloak]

Probably. Game looks cool and it’s an entirely different kind of game.

[unborn sundial]

that shit really got to u huh

[sour fern]

The debt is in the $700m impairment loss what are you on right now

[potent sand]

it's like buying a car and now the car depreciated in value heavily. no debt, but not fun

[fallen echo]

yeah and now you have nothing but to reiterate what I literally have just told you is not the case and why
again if you are actually an accountant you are straight up a bad one

[sour fern]

Its not like that its like buying a broken car and not being able to return it

[azure urchin]

thats not debt thats re evaluation

[potent sand]

a broken car you thought was a nice bugatti

[fallen echo]

THANK YOU, OH MY GOD YOU JUST SIMPLIFIED WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING IN ONE SENTENCE

[sour fern]

Thats A LOSS OF MONEY its not debt because sony isnt expecting to get it back thats why its and IMPAIRMENT LOSS its unrecoverable loss

[subtle turret]

https://youtu.be/reaXYMihM1Y?si=5imPzXtGp5MGvQQ9

[brave marten]

they lost $500 mill from destiny 2 alone in that evaluation so cant blame marathon for all of that

[azure urchin]

its a TAX WRITE OFF according to the GAAP which means literally 0 dollars are lost

[unborn sundial]

but the GAMING NEWS headline told me to be ANGERY

JOHN JOURNO TOLD ME THIS WAS BAD

[sour fern]

No they lost $215m this new quarterly is now up to +700m

[potent sand]

is that actually a full tax write off?

[sly owl]

Even if 0 real dollars are lost they still aren't gonna keep chucking money at something that clearly isn't a good investment.

[brave marten]

yes and 500 mill from that 700 mill was from destiny 2

[azure urchin]

idk specific % that is but most of it yes

[fallen echo]

idk if it's a tax write off I'd have to check, could be, but it is definitely the accounting of the intangable assets like goodwill and stuff, things with no measure and just re evaluating what their worth may be due to a variety of factors

[amber hedge]

Sony are saying that if they were to sell Bungie today then it would sell for less than what they paid for it. It's hypothetical because they're not selling. And screw everyone because I do have to do this corporate finance stuff for my job and it's the weekend and I don't want to think about it!

[sour fern]

It can be but this is not also GAAP sony is a Japanese company

[subtle turret]

Marathon cost 250 million to make and excess amount to up keep it

[potent sand]

yea I'm curious what %

[azure urchin]

do you know what the gaap is,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[fallen echo]

see you I actually believe work in corporate finance rather than this other guy 😂

[brave marten]

thats cool, dont try to blame the whole 700 mill on marathon though

[unborn sundial]

JOHN JOURO SAID 700 GORILLION CREDITS GOT GO DOWN

[potent sand]

Man I was studying accounting and it was the most boring shit ever 🤮

[sour fern]

Its not hypothetical because we know that they cant sell and if they did then its no longer hypothetical

[unborn sundial]

you’re replying to a teenager

[brave marten]

mans wrote a stroke

[fallen echo]

mans dunno what to write anymore 😂

[sly owl]

The excess amount is included lol

[subtle turret]

I been playing Halo since the early 2000’s

[unborn sundial]

uh huh

[crisp cloak]

They didn’t lose it. They purchased the team.

They’re never making their money back until decades of ownership have passed, but they bought them specifically for their talent so they could help other first party studios make live service hits

Sony has 3/3.5 so far out of maybe 10+.

-Helldivers 2 (which they don’t own.)

• MLB the Show
• Gran Turismo (depends on your definition
  -Marathon (modestly)

[sour fern]

Yeah and taxe system in the US is not the tax system in japan

[potent sand]

I remember the first time I played Halo was at Fries Electronics. I asked what they were shooting and the dude said "aliens" but I thought he said "Indians". For a time I thought we were killing native americans lmfao

[obtuse orchid]

we're getting 2.5 years of marathon, take it or leavee it

[azure urchin]

its not a us only system and its not a tax system

[subtle turret]

Won’t even last year

[obtuse orchid]

i can't use the words im thinking of using on you (i'm gonna get another warning) but just know feb 8 2028 will be an interesting day for you

[sour fern]

You said its a tax write off what can or cannot be a tax wrote of in the US is not applicable to a Japanese company

[potent sand]

lmao

[subtle turret]

What’s so special about 2028

[obtuse orchid]

dont drive in 2028

[sly owl]

Maybe that's his birthday

[amber hedge]

hah that's like the film Aliens where the actress playing Vasquez auditioned thinking it was about aliens as in Mexicans

[potent sand]

I don't think that's how it works. It's not like Bungie is following Japanese tax law

[open flower]

Marathon: Shareholdings and investments.

[sour fern]

Sony is the company were talking about they are a japanese company

[potent sand]

lmfao that's hilarious @ denbe

[subtle turret]

Shareholders most be shitting themselves

[azure urchin]

sony is still operating in the us they still have to follow some level of us laws for certain things

[obtuse orchid]

Marathon reminds me how stupid and r||word||ed the twitter gamers are cuz this is the only game where people are brining up SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

Just PLAY THE GAME or FUCK OFF

[subtle turret]

Shareholders “ Sony shutdown this slop”

[sly owl]

Well tbh that big of a loss doesn't happen often lol

[wispy yacht]

Hey is exitlag safe to use for marathon ?

[sour fern]

Yeah their US based subsidiaries but Sony is HQ out of Japan

[reef summit]

You are already banned

[obtuse orchid]

you dont know that, because this is the first fiscal year you've pretended to care about

[wispy yacht]

What ?

[potent sand]

yea but I think it depends on where the impairment loss occurred which was america

[manic cairn]

hey has anyone seen the unique impact HAR

[sly owl]

I mean it's kinda everywhere you look, kinda hard to miss ya know...

[azure urchin]

does it even have a unique?

[reef summit]

Anything that tries to mess with your connection is gonna get you banned.

[obtuse orchid]

this is the first fiscal year brought up, because the marathon ahte is manufactured, and if you fell for it, I have to feel sorry for you, because any other emotion would be cruel

[sour fern]

No it matter what country the business pays taxes in which sony is a japanese company

[manic cairn]

I don’t know i’ve never seen it that’s why i was asking 😭

[brisk bay]

Can you buy more vault space? Ingame currency or otherwise

[amber hedge]

btw, I don't think this is about tax, or even about US vs Japan. It's a quarterly financial report. Sony isn't selling Bungie, but they do have to keep track of the value of all their assets (and liabilities). That's just basic stuff for a quarterly statement.

[wispy yacht]

Okay

[subtle turret]

https://tenor.com/view/track-running-tired-im-done-gif-3429786

[sly owl]

Brother the 750 mill loss isn't good regardless of how you wanna spin it.

[unborn sundial]

I MUST DOOM

[sour fern]

Its extremely very bad

[azure urchin]

its stock market money which is 90% fake so 0 dollars were actually lost

[potent sand]

so sony owns bungie, but bungie is based in california or wtvr. are you saying that there are no taxes paid to the american government since a Japanese company owns them?

[reef summit]

Sony thought they'd earn 700+ million more than they currently have, from their Bungie purchase, so they revised the possible income from the purchase down by 700+ million. That's what the impairment loss is. If you think its something else, you're a BoB.

[unborn sundial]

I REFUSE TO PLAY I MUST DOOOOOM

[sly owl]

Again whether it's real money or just value, it's still not good either way lol

[subtle turret]

They’re delusional

[sour fern]

No thats very clearly not what im saying

[azure urchin]

it also has nothing to do with the game, seeing as sony is literally optimistic about marathon

[potent sand]

yea ik I keep messing up what you're saying in my head. I'm tired, boss

[sly owl]

Oh are you referring to the corporate mumbo jumbo where they say they will continue to support it? What did you want them to say? "Unfortunately we are ending live service and shutting down." 😂

[merry flame]

@quasi mantle

[sour fern]

Thats what theyre saying but the reality is that everyone who isnt playing defensive line for this game knows is the game has failed bungie has failed and soon they will be both no more

[subtle turret]

This game will never be Halo 3 peak level

[unborn sundial]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[sly owl]

Like ofc they are gonna give people who still play hope, why tf wouldn't they 😂

[fallen echo]

bro the report is from March, the month the game was doing great 😂
it takes a couple months for these reports to actually be processed and presented

[dawn owl]

they could buy embark with that money

[azure urchin]

they literally quote all the metrics of the game youre dooming over your own slobber

[reef summit]

Leave the discord already

[sour fern]

Imagine if they said what they really think "we messed up shouldn't have ever paid 3.6b for bungie were gonna be working to close the studio and keep parts of the dev team into our other projects and maratgon will be shut down once we get as little back as possible"

[subtle turret]

We had it all we were the kings of Xbox and we throw it all away for slop and micro transactions

[sour fern]

The report just came out like yesterday

[sly owl]

Nah I'm just a realistic person who isn't seeing everything through rose colored glasses, this game is failing and will continue to bleed players, I've seen no evidence saying otherwise.

[azure urchin]

the game is failing according to WHO?

[subtle turret]

Sony 700 million

[sly owl]

According to metrics! Crazy I know!

[azure urchin]

what metrics are you looking at that say the game is failing

[dawn owl]

there is no ps store sale, that's what we get now

[sour fern]

Everyone

[warped bronze]

completely full prime ability at the start of every run or blue chip mods for purchase including blue stack overflow

[fallen echo]

yeah the report which is the report from March because like I said it takes a couple months to process before it's presented

keep up

[sly owl]

Bro idk wanna say it but steam charts, and yes it's a real metric with real numbers....

[reef summit]

Imagine having nothing better to do than sit in a discord for a game you dont play and dont like, screeching about it

[azure urchin]

you dont understand the steam charts then or the natural process of games

[warped bronze]

completely full prime ability at the start of every run or blue chip mods for purchase including blue stack overflow?

[sly owl]

Ahh yes I'm sure my monitors just upside down and the graph is going up.....

[celest raft]

running an 11.5k loadout with a purple H-AR on Cryo 🗿
purple med bag, a dozen shield charges and like 6 advanced ones, same for patch kits

[digital pelican]

just hit 500 hours

[sour fern]

Why does that make any difference at all

[subtle turret]

I don’t want to know that game they’re playing is failing because they’re delusional and just delusional Bungie fans but can’t recognise why the game is bad

[cold stump]

got a gold cryo key and a purple marsh key from a free kit perimeter match

[fallen echo]

it makes a difference because you literally just said this

[sly owl]

Like I get you love the game but holy hell quit smoking the copium 😂😭

[sour fern]

People aren't even loading into full lobbies

[azure urchin]

its a season based extraction shooter like tarkov, the dip is because its later in the season and itll go back up after wipe thats how this sort of season based game works. same shit happens for every poe league as well.

also look at arc raiders its been losing players at a higher rate but its "doing better"

[sour fern]

Shut up dude you havent said anything of value or meaning

[subtle turret]

Dude it be dead by the end of the year it’s only matter of time before under 10k however I’m surprised it’s still at 15 k

[brisk plover]

Seeing my teammates kill the rook I let go earlier in the round kinda hurts

[sly owl]

While you are correct the players will go down, marathons numbers have plummeted and fast.

[azure urchin]

you look at the numbers but disregard their meaning, you have no sense of telling whether the game is failing or not

[final peak]

Noooooooooo you don't understand, the funny clicking on drones game with the AI voices is the golden child and can do no wrong. Drone game at 3 players is good. Bunjee game at 10k is dead.

[sour fern]

Arc raiders already won by way more than they ever expected to the game can shut down today and its a massive financial win

[crisp cloak]

Hell yeah. Good luck on using them.

[fallen echo]

how to say you're rage quitting without saying you're rage quitting lmfao

[azure urchin]

"plummeted" it just released that happens for LITERALLY every game release way more people buy the game than actually continue playing it because they get filtered this happens for EVERY game

[tight wedge]

ive been trying out Arc Radiers and i have to say: Marathon is by far the better game ime thus far

[amber hedge]

Ladies and gentlemen, I have Tau Ceti-shattering news. We have AUD$1751.39 worth of Sony stock in ETFs. This Bungie impairment has literally affected me a tiny amount (I just did the sums)

[sour fern]

This is absolutely not true

[subtle turret]

15 k is bad for a Bungie game Halo 3 had over 1 million players on release

[azure urchin]

go look at darktide steam charts, game lost 96% of its initial players from release but its still an alive game

[viral snow]

every time i look in here its people arguing why the game is dying 😭

[sour fern]

If you think LITERALLY EVERY GAME losses 90% of its player base in two months your cwazy

[fallen echo]

tis the obsession of the normies who want to larp as though they know everything

[sly owl]

This game didn't have a soft decline though and it's peak was horrible. Like I said I understand you like the game, that being said you'd have to be blind to not see the issue....

[crisp cloak]

It’s a strange comparison considering we get hundreds of new games a week nowadays.

[sour fern]

Pretty much any passable game can retain more than 10% lol these goobers

[brisk plover]

Yea but some games happen to "plummet" at a way faster and unsustainable rate then others. And for some games that doesn't matter much but unfortunately this is a live service game.

[viral snow]

🥀

[sly owl]

Like that's what I'm saying it wasn't gradual lol

[tight wedge]

if marathon is cancelled it wont be for months

[sour fern]

Anyone who is trying to say that bungie and then marathon was not colossal mistake and nothing more than a bad series of judgements calls is wrong

[viral snow]

who gives a fuck if it was a bad call, game is fun 🤷‍♂️

[dawn owl]

speaking of shutdown, I should get the platinum this season right? Im 6 season levels away from platinum. I think it will be impossible in the next season, since it will be a dead mans land

[sour fern]

Well enjoy it while you can wont be here by next year

[sly owl]

Marathon needs a forge mode

[sour fern]

It needs to be a different game

[brave bridge]

Unpaid financial analysts

[viral snow]

so be it, i dont control that, if it was like you said doom from the start my opinion on the matter changes nothing, so all that is left to enjoy fun game while its around 🤷‍♂️

[sly owl]

Yea I work for free, for the love of the game

[sour fern]

Thats what I just said

[brave bridge]

You should use analyse why you haven’t been employed for these skills

[sour fern]

This guy scrolled so far up to that comment holy cow

[reef summit]

Just block this loser already.

[sly owl]

I've had offers but declined

[sour fern]

SUFFER MEEEEE

[brave bridge]

That’s very week ragebait

[viral snow]

i come from apex games like that fast paced shooters, and this game has fun gunplay, if i enjoy shooting my gun in ur fps thats probably the biggest thing i care about

[unborn sundial]

u heard it folks it’s not halo 3 it’s literally so over success is strictly binary

[warm crescent]

does anyone know how to get the 7th cryo contract? I'm at 6/7 and its saying depleted for me

[sour fern]

Its the weekend for me

[viral snow]

did someone say 6 7?

[sly owl]

I say before they shut the servers up, let's all meet in dire marsh

[sour fern]

Mmmm no

[viral snow]

and we should all throw frags at our feet 😊

[brave bridge]

If it ain’t a chart they can’t read it

[tight wedge]

people need to stop scaremongering about marathon tbh

[sly owl]

😳

[sour fern]

Scaremongering? Your scared?

[brave bridge]

Btw you can’t lie on a earnings call

[tight wedge]

its also way better than arc raiders

Not scared, ijust don't like wasting money 😄

[sly owl]

Who mentioned arc raiders?

[sour fern]

Dont be scared its gonna be ok

[brave bridge]

The games failure was promised to you 3000 years ago

[tight wedge]

i'm nogt scared, i just wish ppl would give the "omg marathon is DEAAAAAAAAAAD" crap a rest, people only post this shit for clicks on YT anyway

[sour fern]

Oh

[sly owl]

I'm gonna start posting for clicks

[sour fern]

Click me harder CLICK ME

[sly owl]

I can't wait for dire marsh but night time

[sour fern]

We defeated the entire discord chat gg man

[true cedar]

Hi guys i’m new here

[nocturne willow]

just a friendly reminder that reset is about 3 weeks away and we still have never once had a week where numbers have gone up

we are not going to have more people in S2, and the numbers will continue to go down, the point isn't that the game is "dead now", it's that the game is GOING to be dead very soon

doomposting in this discord exists to shock people into the truth because every other method is failing, and doomposters are probably the people who actually care about the game the most

[sly owl]

Hi zoro

[sour fern]

Bad time

[viral snow]

save yourself while u can

[true cedar]

What’s happening 😞

[sly owl]

We are doing a conference call about sonys earnings

[sour fern]

Game died

[true cedar]

WDYM game died, I just bought it 😭

[sour fern]

Return it

[sly owl]

This discord really is really quiet rn, did discord mess up again?

[cyan nest]

the game is really good

[true cedar]

wait are yall fr? It’s a really cool game, what’s happening?

[sly owl]

(duck smoking a cigarette shaking its head emoji)

[unborn sundial]

Nothing people are just reactive and have poor judgement

[viral snow]

game is fun, might not last forever but game is fun 🤷‍♂️

[sour fern]

It is sort of definitely not alive if my friend asked me if they should get it id say no

[sterile smelt]

fu is that response bro 😭

[sly owl]

😂

[unborn sundial]

Do you not see the direct line of logic between these points

[viral snow]

???? idk how u can be confused by that

[sour fern]

Yes I do see the logic

[viral snow]

ill pay 40$ for a game that i grind the piss out for a year if the shit is fun idc if the game dies as long as i get mine out of it

[amber hedge]

welcome to Marathon and to the discord! Go and play the game and have fun

[true cedar]

I really fw the art style man 🫶

[sly owl]

The last few marathon enjoyers, embrace for we are strong not divided, but as one!

[sterile smelt]

its not confusing. you just said something like "im okay, global warming is killing us all, but im okay"

[sour fern]

Yeah but the game is struggling to breathe now people aren't even getting full lobbies

[wet talon]

I love marathon. I will till i fry.

[viral snow]

crazy ass straw man for a video game LMFAO

this shit is not that serious man

[true cedar]

Is this just the server for the game or are there people from the creator side as well?

[restive olive]

????????????

[unborn sundial]

Creating this discord was a huge mistake

[sly owl]

This is my life runner! Tis not a game!

[sour fern]

Bungie? They died too

[amber hedge]

there are absolutely Bungie devs and representatives here, but for their sanity, they stay quiet

[restive olive]

this is the official server but the devs don't talk here they're too busy blasting your ass in cryo

[sterile smelt]

content creators and devs dont talk here

[sour fern]

You think theyre just in here watching the chat they're probably doing resume updates

[true cedar]

I am not sure what that means but okay

[viral snow]

end game map

[restive olive]

oh are you new LOL welcome!

cryo archive is the endgame map its one of the coolest maps in any game ever but it's complicated and hard and you need to hit a minimum gear requirement to get in

[sly owl]

I'm somewhat of a creator, I sometimes knit and also enjoy painting on the weekends.

[amber hedge]

well, we all have an ass, and this is a first person shooter so you can blast other people in it! "Cryo" means Cryo Archive, which is an endgame map

[restive olive]

ignore the idiots who doom about the game like the dude below me this game is fantastic and devs clearly are committed to it

[sour fern]

Ok bye everyone bye marathon I'll cry when the funeral happens

[sly owl]

Bye bull, I'll see you in marathon 2

[restive olive]

I just blocked him lmao

[sour fern]

I blame israel

[viral snow]

can u imagine being just some bungie dev doing their job and having to read all this 💀

[restive olive]

oh shit hytale server dude you should hop on sometime with me I'm a top pvper LOL

hytale pvp is awesome

[amber hedge]

personally if I were Bungie, I'd just feed the entire thing into ChatGPT and get it to summarise and filter out the shitposting

[sterile smelt]

🧍‍♂️ ⬅️ ❓ who is this guy? /j thats cool

[sly owl]

Ive been away for a bit waiting for updates 😅

[restive olive]

I'd be way more flattered by the 200000 people who say how much this game rules vs the 2 in 100 people who whine about the game

[untold rock]

If you have time to paint on the weekends that means you don’t play enough cryo

[unborn sundial]

Basically nothing in this discord is worth reading unless you like discord PvP, I’d just play game if I were u

[viral snow]

hope ur right and its not the reverse lmao, maybe ive just been lucky with games before this, but dam these marathon players are miserable

everyone i actually meet in the game is honestly really cool and chill

[sterile smelt]

its the d1 vets

[restive olive]

no the community overall is great this game just has a really dedicated haterbase

the thing is people want to see shitty games like concord fail
the problem is they've identified this game as a shitty cash grab even though it's not

[viral snow]

i mean this game def got big problems, but the core game is mad fucking fun

[restive olive]

and then the salty destiny players latch onto that too

[unborn sundial]

biggest problem is recon glute size

[viral snow]

i thought apex and dota players were miserable man 💀

[hardy lantern]

I feel more mad each time I open a cryo card source when it's not a cryo 6 card.

[restive olive]

if you just start blocking everyone who's annoying you'll quickly stop seeing them it's just a group of like 30-40 people really they're just VERY loud

[unborn sundial]

all I’ll say is you’ll notice shitposting peak when school lets out in the US TZ

[peak herald]

No it’s when Australia is online

[restive olive]

the thing is that anyone who actually plays this game is super chill because this game absolutely necessitates good mental

[unborn sundial]

This too unironically

[viral snow]

oh i get mad as fuck, but its usually cuz i did somthing braindead 😂

[hardy lantern]

The sun down under stings different.

[sterile smelt]

whys australia complaining? they dont even have dedicated servers

[amber hedge]

keep talking and I'll sic my dropbear army on youse all

[sullen lagoon]

you're either chill or you die in 5 days from your heart rupturing

[restive olive]

no here's the thing there's a difference between getting mad and having bad mental ovbs you'll get mad sometimes

[unborn sundial]

Bc they live in Australia
