[lunar cove]

and he probably hated getting ordered around

[subtle oracle]

no joel just has this headcanon (thats been proven wrong already) ab there being a 2nd attack. But iirc he was saying the attack at the start of the launch cinematic was the 2nd attack "because theyre wearing suits"

[scenic iron]

A quick question about the Rooks. They are just UESC robots that are hacked?

[rotund stump]

hijacked UESC frames yes

proto-shells planetside

[scenic iron]

Oh ok 👌

[sage lark]

But the date is…… ok i get it now

[subtle oracle]

Anyway topic done, any new important stuff from cryo?

[subtle oracle]

yeah exactly bro 😭

[rotund stump]

oh tranquility is vault 5 I just got the key for it on my last run

snazzy's vault 5 rn

[pure wagon]

I’m waiting for someone to post the compile trace lore. Ik some ppl got it already

[rotund stump]

imma check clade

if somebody's in the cyac discord got check that too

or the cyac site itself

[subtle oracle]

idk if it has lore tbh

some dont

[pure wagon]

It should. It’s in the codex in game

Right in the same spot as all the other lore having items.

[rotund stump]

if it has a codex entry the item tab would have an extra popup on top right

[pure wagon]

I’ve been spamming refresh on it but nothing so far

[rotund stump]

total silence in clade 💀

guess we'll wait

[subtle oracle]

oh good looks my bad

[rotund stump]

best source would be the stream rn honestly snazzy's getting super close

[pure wagon]

Np friend ik everyone’s fiending for info as badly as I am

[rotund stump]

skarrow also got massive progress

[pure wagon]

The trace was found pretty early on tho. Didn’t have to kill a compiler

[rotund stump]

lmao snazzy got bodyblocked into a laer 😭

[dreamy hawk]

The dev is asleep rn I believe so I’m sure more will come over the weekend.

[rotund stump]

oh my god snazzy please get out

they're so lost rn LOL

1 min left

oh that is the WORST exfil holy shit

rip run

[lunar cove]

been there done that

[dreamy hawk]

Anyone going to be on in ~30min and wanna carry do a run with me?

[rotund stump]

welp

time for the needle in the haystack

[lunar cove]

I can be on in theory but my internet connection is not great right now for some reason

[pure wagon]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HD46YvnbgAAMnaH?format=jpg&name=large

[dreamy hawk]

It’s a bit windy here so we can both play dangerously.

[rotund stump]

o7 snazzy it's over

[pure wagon]

Neat chip

[rotund stump]

35k down the drain holy

gold m77 gone 😭

[lunar cove]

rip

[rotund stump]

think he had a subroutine too

[lunar cove]

well, a ship is only safe in a harbour

[rotund stump]

ouch

cryo's like the size of marsh and the verticality of pinwheel

[digital plaza]

Can i please stop getting third patried 6th raid in a row man i just want to exfil some lore goodies 😭

[dreamy hawk]

My advice for you is the same as what you gave me last time. 😂

(But also I’m sorry and sending you good energy!)

[rotund stump]

honestly just keep it quiet in general

there's no considering engagements since reinforcements spawn like every 2 minutes lol

I'd say avoid players if you can

[digital plaza]

If not the third party we would unlock 4 lvl room too

:(

[pure wagon]

This

Don’t get greedy for now. Just go a bit in, grab some lore goods, and get out of dodge

Since there’s no rook allowed to get a feel for the map and mechanics you gotta play it safe

[rotund stump]

OHHHH TYRAXE DOUBLE DOWN

[pure wagon]

What

[rotund stump]

1 body per wstr shot

cracked

[pure wagon]

Bruh

[digital plaza]

Nah i want some skin, we win every fight we start but every single time there is another team coming right at us

[rotund stump]

mans just slid in a bubble shield and emptied his whole mag on 2 bodies and they crawling 😭

tyraxe and snazzy both have 4 skarrow's back in the broadcast seat

[digital plaza]

WHAT LMAO

[rotund stump]

I feel like skull pfp with a gold chain and sunglasses and the about me says enough LOL

oh so cool

rule of cool is smoke cigs wear chains and shutting people up in a public discord server

[digital plaza]

Joel even got his sidekick that spawns every time he's in this chat xdddd

[rotund stump]

can't go anywhere without his yes-man 😭 ✌️

frat boy behavior

[subtle oracle]

Judge me by my enemies

[dreamy hawk]

Incidentally, I am hiring a “yes man.”

Open to all genders, of course.

You just have to laugh at my terrible jokes.

[pseudo mica]

ROOK

[rotund stump]

diffizle unfortunately not making much progress

snazzy's teammate pulled a red key from the random drop

[late nacelle]

Why does Mida run propaganda ads on Outpost — they’re speaking to a bunch of bots??? There isn’t a civilian pop on Tau Ceti IV — or is it for the runners? Or just a really cool plot hole?

[subtle oracle]

I havent even opened the game today bc I love watching the race

[rotund stump]

sending a message

[dark remnant]

does the marathon being in the shape of a sword mean anything?

[balmy wing]

holy fuck snazzy just hit a diabolical clutch

[rotund stump]

mida can and will be everywhere

[rotund stump]

right after flubbing a run by missing the exfil 💀 💀

[lunar cove]

probably tbh

[subtle oracle]

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durendal)

[lunar cove]

the insane AI that kind of controls the narrative is named after a historical sword

[pure wagon]

The same reason they ask us to smash 50 windows in abandoned buildngs, graffiti abandoned locations, and call Orion a dweeb in a single run.

[rotund stump]

the dirt that never leaves their nails

doesn't do anything but it hinders their general activities lol

meanwhile corpos just kinda do it as a side thing while they continue scraping the planet

not to discredit them either they're fighting an ideological and potentially political warfare

if they're not the true-anarchy org that we've been thinking nu-MIDA is

[dreamy hawk]

Where do I know this concept from? 🤔 Resist by creating minuscule inefficiencies that add up to be significant over the system? There’s something specific on the back of my mind. 😕

[rotund stump]

nothing comes to mind for me 😭

I tried LOL

OH snazzy's in vault 5

THEY GOT IT

PLEASE GET OUT WITH IT

[ionic bone]

A dagger piercing a heart ? Hmmmm…

[rotund stump]

oh they're fighting the warden

last time I got tranquility credentials the flame warden spawned

oh it died already

[subtle oracle]

Is this snazzys 5th subroutine?

snazzy our lore king

[rotund stump]

snazzy's on 5 yeah they can do 6 next run if he STOPS LOOTING VAULT 5 PLEASE LEAVE 😭 😭 😭

OH thank god

5/7

[subtle oracle]

Snazzy is a king lmao

[rotund stump]

snazzy ad break

I can't fucking believe

he's actually gonna be the first I'm stoked

[balmy wing]

do we have one or two left

[subtle oracle]

hes just prepping for the next run

[rotund stump]

snazzy's 5/7

[subtle oracle]

someone has 5/6 subroutines and we have done 5/7 vaults

[rotund stump]

vault 6 next run

[balmy wing]

i see i see

[rotund stump]

oh tyraxe is also on 5

[balmy wing]

no way snazzy doesn’t get it he’s the goat

i was gonna sleep tonight but i don’t think that’s in the cards

[cunning shuttle]

has anyone actually fought the compiler yet?

[subtle oracle]

nah

[rotund stump]

nope

snazzy and tyraxe are both on 5

stream just swapped to salta

skarrow flubbed the joke LOL

[subtle oracle]

Milo and skarrow are so fucking funny

[rotund stump]

I got uni in like the next 2 hours for 4 more hours straight imma watch this in class

[subtle oracle]

Im so glad I have a job that lets me watch this

[rotund stump]

it's ok this class today lets me sleep anyway 💀

[balmy wing]

i have two essays due tonight but i can tank the late penalty

[terse wren]

Bruh do not do this lmao

[cinder vine]

please do your essays

[lunar cove]

do the essays

[dreamy hawk]

Super not worth it.

[cinder vine]

when you're done with them, we'll know more from the people who have made it to higher levels of the archive

Right now, it's not worth it to just not do them only to wait

[digital plaza]

I JUST HIT A JACKPOT

OH MY GOD

[cinder vine]

of lore? cuz that's what this channel is for lol

[digital plaza]

BEST RUN EVER

[eternal shell]

show us

[digital plaza]

Yea yea, i got a shitton of lore items

[balmy wing]

truth nuke actually

[digital plaza]

Wait up a little need to read/listen them

[cinder vine]

I mean, I came here hoping for people to be discussing the stuff we've learned from the archive, instead I see people talking about... loot.

[pure wagon]

Lore is loot

Loot is lore

[cinder vine]

It most definitely is not.

[pure wagon]

A’iat

[cinder vine]

If you just wanna show off loot you can take it to general or run clips

[pure wagon]

.

[rotund stump]

I think they meant valuables?

[cinder vine]

That is the same as loot.

[rotund stump]

no need to rile up here lol

[pure wagon]

Lore is literally loot tho

Like you don’t get the lore unless you get the right item

[cinder vine]

I just want the lore channel to be about lore? And no, it isn't. Lore is story.

[pure wagon]

And how do we get the story in marathon?

[cinder vine]

Not with "loot."

[warm thicket]

heck yea

[pure wagon]

.

Right…nvm

[warm thicket]

Airlock

[cinder vine]

I get that you're new here but this game is a series that has been around since the 90s

[tepid widget]

its the contract hatch

[balmy wing]

that is how you unlock the codex entries

[cinder vine]

You complete contracts to unlock the codex entries

[balmy wing]

there is another…

[pure wagon]

I actually could see this happening. You get there for the contract and then death

[warm thicket]

hehehe

[balmy wing]

you also unlock a significant portion of lore through extracting valuables

[pure wagon]

Rook in outpost has been my savior for finding lore. The xenobiopsies had me pressed

[subtle oracle]

outside of priority contracts, all the lore is tied to valuables actually

[balmy wing]

holy shit tycho is that really you

[digital plaza]

It is man huh

We get lore from collectibles

[balmy wing]

i’ve been ripping rook runs trying to find folklore

[tepid widget]

yeah now watch me shoot sheepycakes out the airlock

[digital plaza]

I got a ton of those just now

[cinder vine]

What is your problem?

[subtle oracle]

*Inside the game

[balmy wing]

i have no idea if they spawn consistently in one spot

[pure wagon]

DUDE SAME AND NOT A SINGLE ONE DROPPED FOR ME SEND HELP 😭

[cinder vine]

Why did this chat turn into an extension of the toxicity of general

[subtle oracle]

theres tons of lore outside the game in the arg and cinematics ofc

[warm thicket]

Mmm I shoulda used rook more for codex files

[feral rune]

is this durandal before or after merging with thoth and is this even a timeline at all in line with the previous entries. will we see our security officer ascended into godhood or is he just gone forever doing whatever Jjaro-tech creatures do

[subtle oracle]

it isnt that serious tbh

[minor crag]

Any one running marathon rn

[tepid widget]

this attitude

[cinder vine]

how is this an attitude? I'm just stating a fact?

[pure wagon]

No idea. All ik is Durandal here is a bit of a sadist I think

[digital plaza]

Sad that i didnt get compiler trace lore entry, random got it but he was such a gigachad so i dont mind

[subtle oracle]

Ive been here almost a whole year before you and some of the coolest ppl ik here have joined recently

[pure wagon]

As long as SOMEONE POSTS IT PLEASE M’LORD

[cinder vine]

oh...kay? what does that have to do with anything?

[subtle oracle]

Dont be shitty to new ppl

just bc theyre new

[cunning shuttle]

i wish that guns had codex entries, i like learning little bits of fictional weapon lore like in mass effect

[feral rune]

new timeline, new shenanigans, schizo theory time. what if its Durandal merged with Tycho? it would explain why Durandal is playing so coy, a trait he did NOT have before.

[cinder vine]

how is saying "this is a game series from the 90s" being shitty? hello?

[subtle oracle]

what did you say before that

[digital plaza]

Damn if only i knew that you can get it at the bottom of the panopticon, in one of my first raids we got 5 sec lvl

[subtle oracle]

same message

[pure wagon]

Maybe he cannibalized both of them? That would be uh

[subtle oracle]

like come on it honestly isnt that serious just be chill with ppl

[pure wagon]

Concerning

[cinder vine]

so you're saying that because I pointed out that they're new, that in and of itself was shitty? are you okay?

[subtle oracle]

im not continuing this shit. I dont get why you got your shit in a twist but atp im done with ppl being unneccesarilly aggressive over clear jokes and teasing

[feral rune]

him cannibalizing thoth would be weird, him cannibalizing Tycho would be fucking nuts.

[pure wagon]

Don’t worry about them friend. I just have them on ignore. It’s not worth fighting over.

[cinder vine]

my dude, YOU are the one who got aggressive with ME over something completely innocuous

[subtle oracle]

Ik this stuff just drives new ppl away from this channel

[cunning shuttle]

like tell me why and how the V-11 was adopted by the UESC, tell me which companies made these guns

[pure wagon]

True. For me i just roll with it all.

[cinder vine]

You can't make this shit up I swear, I say something compeltely normal and people act like I killed their fucking dog

[subtle oracle]

better for it

[pure wagon]

Now who do we shake down for that compiler trace

[subtle oracle]

ive seen ppl grab it under panopticon

[latent python]

cannibalizing tycho, or ummmmmm

[subtle oracle]

true! everything seems to have it except guns and I would like codex entries breaking down the guns after getting a certain # of kills with it

[warm thicket]

If you'd like to know more Hamish made a website from the 90s containing a bunch of information from the game that the Bungie writers and designers have used, they thanked him for the website and everythin

[feral rune]

There's a major tone shift in how Durandal behaves after merging with thoth, he is significantly more calm after the fact. that tells me we're probably playing with Durandal/Thoth merged after Infinity. however, if i remember correctly, the marathon was taken over by Tycho in that timeline, so honestly tycho being cannibalized too may be a theory worth some merit. @pure wagon

[warm thicket]

marathon.bungie.org

[subtle oracle]

@pure wagon Also the primer #📚marathon-lore-discussion message

[cunning shuttle]

EXACTLY i made a suggestion feedback thread for it too, like lemme know things about the guns so i can pick which one fits the lore and personality of my runner the best

[dreamy hawk]

I like it. Do you think he and Tycho share the same favorite? 👀

[warm thicket]

Perhaps

[subtle oracle]

Esp if they had like tips on use or secrets

[warm thicket]

They gotta do something for the wastelander

Marton classic right there

[rigid elbow]

Is durandal just the first super advanced AI humanity tsundere?

[subtle oracle]

SNAZZY IS OUR LAST RESORT FOR 6 RN

[rotund stump]

teye and tyraxe dead

keys are gone lol

snazzy please make it

[zealous laurel]

He is also in a toxic yaoi situationship with Tycho

[subtle oracle]

the crazy thing is seeing how good the teams that streamers are hitting are

[rotund stump]

wallah 2 reds??

[subtle oracle]

Tyraxe is doing dry runs. Key still good

ID and I are absolutely just watching the cast rn

[tropic horizon]

Heyyy

I just wanted to let you know everyone

[subtle oracle]

If this is mr beast scam

is2g

[tropic horizon]

@zinc needle he is a guy

[pure wagon]

I’m just going off how…concerningly insane Durandal is coming off as. From what I’ve read he’s now extremely callous and sees organic life as tools for experiments or something. The way he is now, and with how we have lore entries on all the colony AI, but not rly any whisper of the ship AIs, just makes me wonder if Durandal didn’t just consume them for more compute power or something. Would fit the horror themes so far

[rotund stump]

o...ok lol

[subtle oracle]

My reaction exactly 😭

[tropic horizon]

I’m artist and he is scam me of 300 bucks

[subtle oracle]

what do you want me to do ab it like

ohhhhhhhhh

[tropic horizon]

Be carefull everyone

[keen dagger]

🇱🇺LFG, looking for dutch people. Dm me. Lvl 52. Eu

[subtle oracle]

Prep your boots

[rotund stump]

not exactly wise to ping him

[tropic horizon]

I have all proved

[subtle oracle]

#lfc-any-zone #1484690684190658690

[pure wagon]

…

[subtle oracle]

better luck there 🫡

[pure wagon]

Does uh this weird kinda stuff happen often here ?

[feral rune]

The behavior he's exhibiting, and how we haven't seen Tycho at all, makes me think that Tycho is now part of Durandal. you've convinced me i like your theory

[warm thicket]

I expected him to be waaaaaay more sarcastic

[subtle oracle]

I think its just part of it being a large public server

sometimes stuff happens

[pure wagon]

Exactly. But he’s just menacing and …Idk man but im not sure we wanna fuck w him at all rn

[warm thicket]

In M1 and M2 he's very condescending like here but it's in more of a joking way

[eternal shell]

he's still getting used to us

[pure wagon]

Alternatively, he could have also consumed whatever the aliens had for AI as well. Might also explain his attitude toward humans now

[eternal shell]

it's like a very large digital cat

another point for the durandal is bingus theory

[pure wagon]

Yea here I didn’t get any joking vibes

I got “you’re an insect” vibe

[feral rune]

The aliens only used Tycho and Thoth from what I remember, right?

[subtle oracle]

I mean after your buddy being a mjolnir and then seeing us be a cheap imitation id be mad too

[pure wagon]

The bingus cats are probably Joy

[pure wagon]

Oh true

[warm thicket]

Somethin aint right

[subtle oracle]

Snazzy is cracked

[tepid widget]

anyone get any encrypted communiques yet from cryo? i got one which mentions tycho failing a diagnostic check

[pure wagon]

Yk what that’s valid af

[pure wagon]

I haven’t but “uh oh”

[warm thicket]

He shouldn't be on the marathon either cause he already escaped in Boomer

[pure wagon]

A lot doesn’t add up

[feral rune]

the security officer was way more than just a Battleroid, he was a dude who managed to survive being augmented with Jjaro tech

[subtle oracle]

esp bc like where is M 54

[subtle oracle]

Yeah doesnt he stay with durandal until the end of the universe

[pure wagon]

Or the other battleroids.

[warm thicket]

There are entries from other security personnel

[pure wagon]

The surface shouldn’t be a wasteland without barely a body

[subtle oracle]

we've also seen a very minor part of the surface and now marathon so

they could be somewhere we dont like

[pure wagon]

….

[subtle oracle]

maybe in a mass

[pure wagon]

Oh boy

This is gonna be bad

[subtle oracle]

I wanna see how horror bungie does this

[feral rune]

i think? its kinda not explained well

[warm thicket]

It's one of the lore collectibles in cryo

[feral rune]

The battleroid also went from effectively a corpse augmented with some tech, into an actual fucking demi god

[subtle oracle]

Yeah and this is only 80 yrs post what we know of lhowon

so mjolnir 54 should be somewhere

if not on Lhowon still ig

[pure wagon]

In one timeline

[subtle oracle]

yeah we drk what happened in those 80 yrs

[pure wagon]

Maybe not this one

Maybe in this timeline strauss didn’t bring them

[subtle oracle]

and even then we only have bits and pieces of the attack to now too.

[pure wagon]

Jaspers journals suggest that earth already knew about tau ceti being dangerous and that everyone on the marathon was “set up”

So this timeline may be very different

The anomaly alone and the things it spawns like the mimics and what it does to some ppl isn’t smth I remember reading from the old games

[warm thicket]

He did, they're mentioned in Nona's tale

||Some heard he placed his warriors on a boat about to cross the great sea… ah, but that's the beginning of another story.||

[subtle oracle]

They had basically zero idea ab it past it was "habitable"

and the UESC ofc didnt give the whole details

Dodo drop incoming?

[subtle oracle]

So durandal was basically a baby

[warm thicket]

thanke senor kat

[subtle oracle]

and was overseen by leela and tycho

and they reported to strauss

[warm thicket]

Seems Durandal wrote the Gheritt White story

It's an implication but he wrote poetry

[digital plaza]

Snitched*

[subtle oracle]

Holy shti

[digital plaza]

:D

[subtle oracle]

Strauss purposely is sending Durnadal into rampancy

[knotty remnant]

oops

[subtle oracle]

The fact that durandal acting out and pouting is what strauss is aiming for is crazt

[warm thicket]

Yeah it was implied in previous sources that strauss set Durandal loose but this confirms it

I hope that the farewell passage is an audio log

[digital plaza]

Boy i cannot wait when bungie will update these logs icons and i'd have to redo all thumbnails

[subtle oracle]

HOLY SHIT FIRST DURANDAL CODEX

FIRST TIME HES TALKING TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE US

Durandal is a fucking tsundere 😭

[digital plaza]

Oh by the way theory that Durandal is Traxus IV might have some grounds, second marathon model log says that all ships AIs were produce by Traxus

[subtle oracle]

😤

youre all weclome

[digital plaza]

"Series: Traxus IX-A"

[subtle oracle]

What if rampancy is a traxus issue not an ai issue 😭

Vulcan rampancy incoming

[digital plaza]

Lion bout to eat her head if that would happen

[subtle oracle]

🤫

[livid lion]

They just continued the line, doesn’t mean there’s some kind of genetic lineage. Actually since they are all a totally different model then he can’t be Traxus IV.

[pure wagon]

Wait I thought the lion was the actual agent and the woman cyborg was just the device the lion spoke through

[livid lion]

Nope

[pure wagon]

whoops

[livid lion]

I mean it’s an avatar so it’s not like either way can be true but the person is supposed to represent the AI

[raven marlin]

Would it be spoilery to talk about stuff from Cryo in here? There’s some cool stuff I’ve noticed

[subtle oracle]

Not at all

this si the place to do it

[drifting mulch]

you can use the spoiler tag like this ||spoilers here|| if you think it's particularly spicy but so far it's everything goes

[digital plaza]

"Durandal oversees the operation and maintenance of the UESC Marathon itself, a task not very far removed from AI's planetary management roots. His basic responsibilities afford him close connections to the crew. [feels insignificant, come back and add more]"

@subtle oracle

Thats how he is able to talk to Pike's lineage

[lucid ruin]

[Level 41, NA East, PC, Sweaty] Looking for a few homies, preferably 2 already playing together to start prepping for ranked, and Cryo Archive play. Also creating youtube content so play times may differ for me!

[subtle oracle]

Its interesting hes taking an interest in specifically pikes lineage

[subtle oracle]

#lfc-any-zone

#1484690684190658690

[digital plaza]

Yeah i guess, just saying

[subtle oracle]

Notice that he hasnt talked to anyone post colony attack from what we know

[digital plaza]

Maybe because of the name, he feel connection to them because they got this heroic name and dont do shit, and Durandal is in the same situation basically

[raven marlin]

Oh I just saw on the big stream there’s this metallic “ferromagnetic”goop that pings as “tick nests”. It looks like SIVA. Just thought that was interesting.

[digital plaza]

Maybe he feels guilty?

[subtle oracle]

Myabe? Maybe hes not there

[digital plaza]

Yeah saw that too

[subtle oracle]

yeah thsi seems the case rn

[subtle oracle]

Ping them all bc if one pops up as "colonist" thatd be crazy

I assume something does that to organic things

[pure wagon]

theres a third party

gut feeling there's a third party

[raven marlin]

I’m not in there yet, just watching, but yeah I’ll be checking everything out. Kinda nervous with how intense it seems that there won’t be a lot of room to take in the sights and sounds.

[digital plaza]

Also lion might indicate how Vulcan is bounded by all of the security shit so that Traxus IV wont happen again

Or something like that

[subtle oracle]

True it may be a like backup thing

[pure wagon]

i ran one earlier. there isnt time for anything other than surviving and moving as quickly as you can. if you stay and stare you will get slimed brother

[subtle oracle]

Also it looks like vulcan is in some straight jacket deal?

[pure wagon]

oh thats smart

[pure wagon]

a poncho

[livid lion]

A strong theory

[digital plaza]

Nah, its intense only in mid game when all teams got to the control hall

[raven marlin]

😥 Dang, my favorite thing in these is exploring around.

[pure wagon]

idk about that man, we had two teams jumping us from levels 2 and 3

[tender depot]

I love what’s going on with Durandal, especially the implication this one was the one that was copied and left behind, that guy might be PISSED he isn’t dimension hopping

[pure wagon]

yea i feel the same. thats why im kinda bummed there's no rook allowed in cryo. like idc if i dont get loot as rook i just wanna explore the place

[digital plaza]

Never got jumped when clearing the rooms lol

[pure wagon]

oh bugger that might explain a lot

[pure wagon]

luck sack take me with you

[digital plaza]

BUT I DID GET THIRD PARTIED SIX TIMES IN A ROW THO

[pure wagon]

nvm yall stay on that side 😨

[raven marlin]

I wonder though if they’re tying back into that old terminal where the big D loops back around and meets himself? Meeting his copy after trying to escape spacetime unsuccessfully.

[pure wagon]

wait what

[raven marlin]

I might be butchering that one. Trying to find it.

[tender depot]

The immense aura from this meeting if true would kill a person

[deep solar]

Fuck Cryo is the Salty Spitoon, Outpost is weenie hut jr by comparison

[digital plaza]

"Next will be Darius and Naraah, relocation to Anchor and Abyss, respectively, before Darius eventually transitions between AgHug sites."

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ABYSS

Huh???

[copper hinge]

anyone seen any new codex things yet? the website aint up yet and I'm at work

[digital plaza]

Also there is a lot of infrastructure, very interested to see them in game

[subtle oracle]

Anchor and Abyss absolutely maps incoming

[digital plaza]

Yea got some audio logs uploaded https://www.youtube.com/@Tasty_DODO

[pure wagon]

whats this from?

[digital plaza]

UESC Marathon Model, TAU CETI IV COLONIZATION (4th one)

[pure wagon]

tyty

[digital plaza]

I think Hearth is going to be first

It got mentioned couple of times and sounds super cool gameplay wise

Colony AIs got Traxus X-A series

[subtle oracle]

Do we think a new map will come mid s2?

bc only night marsh is in the roadmap

[digital plaza]

I hope so, night marsh i think is ready considering how long ago they first showed it

[subtle oracle]

Maybe a summer games fest announcement?

idk if thats a bungie deal

[digital plaza]

Yeah they dont do those

More like state of play announcement

[subtle oracle]

Ohhh true

bc sony

Mf Joy from Pixar’s inside out is in Marathon too? God damn

[digital plaza]

😊

[subtle oracle]

interested to see naraahs role in the contagion and Icarus' role in the attack

Also arthur's interactions with the ship Ai

[distant palm]

😊

[keen plank]

We still haven’t heard from Arthur, Bastion, Naraah, and Icarus yet iirc.

[digital plaza]

UESC Marathon Model got hidden message by the way

[subtle oracle]

the redacted one?

[keen plank]

I think Lilith’s had a line or two but not much.

[digital plaza]

"writtenh", "undere", "medicall", and "duressp" spell the word help

[pure wagon]

w-who authored the model text

not the place to ask

oh that was fast

[subtle oracle]

written under medical duress

is

insane

[pure wagon]

oh god

i didnt even notice that

[subtle oracle]

who was dying and hid the word help

[lunar cove]

"Written under medical duress. Help!"

CAPTAIN OF THE MARATHON????

[digital plaza]

Yea

[subtle oracle]

OH FUCK

Thats juicy

It feels more cosmic horro than pfhor

the pfhor are like rip and tear

[digital plaza]

She also repeats herself couple of times, when she does she remarks that this sounds familiar DOC please cross check

[open shore]

Has anyone fought the Compiler yet

[digital plaza]

No

[subtle oracle]

the fact we've been caught on vault 6 for like the entire time its taken to get the other 5

bungie didnt fuck around

[digital plaza]

Salvations edge day one situation?

[subtle oracle]

would be crazy

especially bc its not bc of puzzle difficulty just the loot situation

[digital plaza]

xd

[raven marlin]

TheSnazzyRock is close I think

[deep solar]

I need the lore on the runner I was just squadded up with that had the fakest southern accent I’ve ever heard (I’m from deep Alabama)

[lunar cove]

that's John Texas

[subtle oracle]

Midwest southern. Seen it a lot

[lunar cove]

I should do more fake accents in public chat that could be a good bit

[digital plaza]

Cool that we got to see Durandals visualisation, like the one that faction representatives have

He looks dope as fuck

[lunar cove]

I should be running through Cryo archive as a Toronto mans

Wagwan Durandal

Bare S'pht here, croski

[deep solar]

Durandal has to be hot, he’s played by Ben Starr

[lunar cove]

I could be Australian

[deep solar]

Do a Midatlantic Accent

[violet kettle]

Gang

Just completed my first cryo run AND got all the Bernard journals

[deep solar]

One last Cryo Archive run for me then I’ll be out of good shit

[digital plaza]

Is the last log text one or an audio one

[violet kettle]

About to check

[timber loom]

For casuals like me Cryo will be a generational thing to solve

So much stuff, so hard to get

Kill the compiler, delete the game

[lunar cove]

I lost half my good shit today so I'm just building back up

[violet kettle]

Text, it talks about the contact with the pfhor

[digital plaza]

Gotcha, thanks

[lunar cove]

it's rook scavenger on outpost time fr

[deep solar]

Back to the Outpost mines to build back up

[timber loom]

Yeah, I'm done for this weekend I guess

[lunar cove]

I'm down to one purple shield, one purple backpack, a handful of blues of each

[timber loom]

Need stock up my vault on full purples till next weekend

Also figure out lfg

Crew fills are insane on cryo

[lunar cove]

my second cryo run, neither of my teammates had mics, none of them used pings or in-game chat, and somehow they were the best teammates I ever had

we made out like bandits

[timber loom]

I mean, there were good people, but we had bad luck

Like zero terminals

[violet kettle]

My teammate went the other way and he died while me and the other guy got out

[lunar cove]

lmao

way she goes

[timber loom]

Grinded tags all the way till level 2

Then got level 3 only to locate damn exfill terminal that is already activated

[dreamy hawk]

Lo siento

[timber loom]

We started to exfil with 8 minutes on the clock and still couldn't make it, insane

[lunar cove]

oh not your fault I lost it all before we started

[dreamy hawk]

Lo siento all the same.

[violet kettle]

Oh wait cryo is only weekends right?

[grim dock]

what happens when the final exfil doesnt show up???

[timber loom]

It always does

You just don't see it

[lunar cove]

I basically just bought a new green backpack, shield, and rifle every time I ran with you and your buddy

[timber loom]

Yes

[timber loom]

Afaik you need to use scanner but you need level 4 clearance for it to show up

[pure wagon]

i had

like 6 lore items and we couldnt find exfil

[violet kettle]

Oof

Cryo is tricky

[pure wagon]

we had even taken out all the other teams

[digital plaza]

Text logs from this series is also very intresting. In the first text log first Pike rejects the idea of BoBs being this inferior race of people and says "But not my boy. Not my Ulyssees." In the second text log it implies that Durandal hacked Gabriels systems to approve third Pike generation after two rejects, and that Durandal is listens all the time to them. DURANDAL IS OBSESSED WITH THIS FAMILY

[pure wagon]

😭 we had a whole run of the ship

[violet kettle]

What were the lore items

[pure wagon]

like 3 strauss journals a cryocontainer or w/e and 2 marathon models

[violet kettle]

Shit

[woeful steeple]

I love when this happens. Just three people in sync. Vibes based extraction.

[pure wagon]

yep

[pure wagon]

my autofill runs have also been very nice luckily and ive now jinxed it

[lunar cove]

I was glazing the destroyer player in here earlier

we got into a fight with two teams, I was fighting two guys and trying to revive our dead buddy, and the two of us found him afterwards with four player bags in front of him

[violet kettle]

I don’t know if I’m right on this but it seems Benard thought of durandal like a son

[grim dock]

HUH?? how can i not see it?

[violet kettle]

From what I’m reading from the last journal

[digital plaza]

Dont have it yet so idk

But i was not talking about Durandal - Strauss relations anyway

[violet kettle]

True

[sterile seal]

Roots, Traxus IV is Durandal confirmed lol

How do you come to LORE DISCUSSION and go "yeah ill lfg here"

same. tbh its not hard to go get stuff back anyway, especially when rook exists

[subtle oracle]

TYRAXE GOT 6

[green plume]

six for nothing

sad

[balmy wing]

dude if i was snazzy i would've crashed out so hard 😭 what a diabolical cooler

[balmy wing]

that's how it looks right now

absolutely psychotic game design if that's not a bug

[green plume]

I could see it being rng for 1-5

[subtle oracle]

Would not put it past bungie with how much they punished us with the arg

[green plume]

but the red key?!

[subtle oracle]

Ziegler gotta be the most psychotic mf

[balmy wing]

yeah having to lose a red key for a chance at it is insane work

i expect we get to see the compiler within the hour tho

[deep solar]

I’m so excited for everything involving the compiler even if I never get there myself

[eternal shell]

durandal's favorite soap opera

[subtle oracle]

this is hopeful considering how hard 6 was

[visual lynx]

if the pfhor took a bunch of slaves and a bunch of the survivors turned into sctlactr fungal zombies who got locked up in cryo it should

[visual lynx]

Tycho was captured by the Pfhor in that timeline, like in M2

[green plume]

think the compiler allied with the humans to protect vault 7?

[subtle oracle]

tbh yeah more than anything I wanna see the lore items and honestly? I bet cutscene after vault 7 exfil

some item def triggers a cutscene

[balmy wing]

iirc tyraxe doesn’t need to do anything else before the compiler

[green plume]

you don't need batteries or cryo packs for it?

[subtle oracle]

they have to do dna network access and after that make it to vault 7 and do whatever else it needs

[green plume]

apparently they need batteries and coolant

[balmy wing]

fuck i forgot about the sct’lac’tr when i was thinking about the fungal zombies

is that confirmed or a theory

[dreamy hawk]

What’s the parallel between the sct’lac’tr and fungal zombies in general? I don’t remember it having a specific effect that was mentioned, but I also don’t remember fungal zombies in the OG games, which have been mentioned, I swear. 🤔

[balmy wing]

i think they were a concept for M2 that never got added in

[eternal shell]

wasnt it a s'pht made virus weapon

[latent python]

and then obviously the idea for the sct'lac'tr was revived for the flood

[austere elk]

not enough apostrophes

[balmy wing]

there were fungal pfhor designs that got scrapped, the virus itself is mentioned in This Side Towards Enemy

[dreamy hawk]

Thank you!

[dusk crypt]

did anyone figure out how to get the network access?

or no

[deep solar]

I’m curious as to how the Phfor would hypothetically show up, perhaps defeating the Compiler kicks off a chain of events that alerts the Phfor

[balmy wing]

yeah ofc

[dreamy hawk]

I didn’t actually know this.

[dreamy hawk]

#🎨marathon-community-art-chat message
@balmy wing so do we think that’s the image of them?

It’s from the terminal.

[balmy wing]

yeah that wouldn’t shock me

[dreamy hawk]

TIL. 😁

[balmy wing]

actually i stand corrected

that’s a simulacrum, the pfhor suicide BoBs

[deep solar]

Be a BoB, looked down upon by the earthborn, phfor invade, kill entire family, catches fungus, loses hog.

[visual lynx]

which are mentioned in nuMa lore in a few places

[balmy wing]

oooooh where

[visual lynx]

the "THANK GOD ITS YOU" graffiti and this log entry:

GRIEVANCE || HUMAN RESOURCES Twice now morning crews have found discarded airlock greens placed conspicuously outside the locker room. Absolutely unacceptable. Worker logs from the days before the incidents are included but nobody who lived through that would think it's a joke. Pull the IDs of the frosties who toured through the days before and search for a matching name, if the same guy shows up in both tours, there are plenty of old BoBs here who would like some time alone with him. —491221M

cf

Do you remember the Pfhor-built human simulacrums during the Tau Ceti invasion?

The elaborate Pfhor bureaucracy has a Ministry for the Eradication Through Imitation of Hostile Species Unsuitable for Enslavement, Phan Pfhar Sfaern-Wsawn Tshah, which is responsible for the design and construction of such machines.

They meticulously constructed seventeen different human body types and mixed them with sixty-one unique facial models. The resulting walking bombs were in every way indistinguishable from real humans.

Their one mistake, dressing every last one of the six thousand simulacrums in the plain green overalls of a Marathon airlock
technician, had the amusing side-effect of making all the real airlock technicians wander the ship naked during the invasion.
https://marathon.bungie.org/story/volunteers.html#M2.06.1.2

[balmy wing]

excellent thank you

[latent python]

but the real airlock technicians weren't frog blasting the vent cores

[eternal shell]

well, maybe in their free time

[balmy wing]

day 1 of asking bungie to add frog blast the vent core somewhere in game

[eternal shell]

some of us has been asking that since the game was announced 😔

[visual lynx]

no that's Doug Zartman, who

provided not only the voices and screams for the Bobs, but also modeled for the artists as they were working on the assimilated ones. Like them, [he has] two toes, red eyes, snaggle teeth and no [REDACTED].
https://marathon.bungie.org/story/sphtkr.html#M2.28.2.1

[balmy wing]

it should be a vandal voice line

[dreamy hawk]

Do we have any representation of the fungal zombies from og lore?

[balmy wing]

fuck i can’t post images hold on

https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/15gb4gq/i_hope_marathon_202x_brings_back_the_cut_fungal/

there

[sterile seal]

So if all the ship AI are Traxus products, I wonder if the TraxIV string assigned to the recompiled Tycho isn't related to Durandal?

[timber loom]

Aren't AI produced by CyAc?

In codex there is a CyAc manual how to operate Durandal

As in never treat him like a living being and just state that he will need to open doors

[sterile seal]

I think Traxus makes the bird and CyAc the cage, as it were.

[marble tangle]

Anyone know where to consistently find coolant?

[subtle oracle]

Underneath panopticon has a fill station from what ive seen

[digital plaza]

Ship and colony AIs are created by Traxus

[burnt nebula]

Any UK or EU lore enjoyers tryna find a team out here?

[digital plaza]

From UESC Marathon Model

[keen plank]

Cyberacme is the operating system. They’re kind of like Windows or Apple.

[sterile seal]

Traxus is the original AI company of the setting based off their ARG lore IIRC

[subtle oracle]

Cyac is the computer systems that the ai basically have access to that control the ship/colony systems

[sterile seal]

I don't think NuCal, Traxus, SekGen, and CyAc are even really in meaningful competition with one another, they seem to collaborate a lot.

[keen plank]

Traxus is the largest megacorp and has a particular focus on infrastructure and architecture. Their exploration into AI is newer and only happened in the past several hundred years. It’s implied they’re responsible for the Traxus IV AI that went nuts on mars.

[sterile seal]

Ain't their OG name Traxus Intelligence Systems?

[green plume]

I wouldn't be surprised if they were all holding hands in some way

[visual lynx]

collude more like it

[keen plank]

They focus on different technologies with only some overlap. For example, NuCaloric also has an architecture division. Meanwhile SekGen’s shells (at least some and the ones we use) run on Cyberacme’s OSI.

Of the factions, we know that only MIDA tends to generally work against the others. But Charter is notable for assassinating a Traxus board member before disappearing and joining Arachne.

I do wonder who Arachne’s “patrons” are.

[burnt nebula]

mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos

[balmy wing]

tycho

[sterile seal]

Doesn't NuCal make the healing items for the shells?

[digital plaza]

Tyraxe fighting the Compiler!

[elder berry]

Lfg

[balmy wing]

shit looks so sick

damn they got FUCKED lmao

[floral slate]

THEY FUCKING BOTCH IT SO BAD FUCUKKKKK

[distant palm]

Bungie was really generous in letting them back out and exfil outside the room tho

[balmy wing]

they had full golds too

[floral slate]

Also damn the compiler is literally just a destiny boss

atleast he do be cool

[subtle oracle]

This is now in the top 4 longest bungie raids

[balmy wing]

yep

[subtle oracle]

when does it hit top 3

[balmy wing]

16 hours

[distant palm]

damn. you need to be tight with your timing to get to and kill the Compiler in time

[balmy wing]

last wish and salvations edge were both 18+

[subtle oracle]

Oh nah i think we have an hr or 2 left

unless somehow theres something post compiler

[cinder vine]

When people have never fought a compiler before and don't realize that green spot isn't in fact a weak spot...

[subtle oracle]

which would be hilarious

[floral slate]

it really do be like deep stone crypt its crazy

[balmy wing]

battleroid cameo trust

[floral slate]

battleroid eating a burger in the back

[subtle oracle]

ONI comes in and just screams FUCKING RUN RUN RUN GET OUT

YOU CANNOT FIGHT THAT

[cinder vine]

SekGen wants battleroids again so we'll see

[balmy wing]

adam smasher flashback type beat

you just get instagibbed with a crazy ass glory kill animation on you

[distant palm]

Honestly if Oni ever pulls some shit like that I'm fucking listening 💀

[subtle oracle]

Yeah if any of the ais started panic screaming my ass in listening

Realistically itd be battleroid running at you and ONI going "forced recall intitiated. 3... 2... 1..." And we get transmatted right as the battleroid grabs the shell

Makes me bummed that compiler seems to be the end goal

[deep solar]

Affirmation: GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

[distant palm]

Remark: are you sure what you are doing is worth it?

[haughty locust]

30 mins is among longest? Wow

[deep solar]

If we ever get a fight against Durandal in some form it’s gonna be a lot like Rhulk I bet. Just toying with us

[floral slate]

well we yet to see what happens after it dies i guess

[echo sundial]

idk if durandal would want to fight us tbh

maybe its possible

he always doing his own thing so to speak lmao

[deep solar]

Maybe to test us or to just kinda see what we’re like

[floral slate]

durandal wants us to die, not to fight us directly

[echo sundial]

plus like one spht compiler is basically childs play to durandal that mfer crazy

and this compiler is fucking our shit good!!!

[balmy wing]

yeah 3 full gold players almost died

that’s not a good sign

[lunar cove]

oh have people been compiled yet?

[deep solar]

We’re never fighting that compiler whew

[echo sundial]

3 full golds who are top 0.01% in the skill bracket but also like its the endgame boss its not that crazy considering what last wish was like

[echo sundial]

no kills yet tyraxe is the closest

[balmy wing]

yeah tyraxe went for it just now and had to back out

he’s looking good for the next attempt rn tho

[lunar cove]

dang

[echo sundial]

yeah I think they get it on this attempt or the next

[deep solar]

I would imagine as the weeks progress the knowledge will get out there for everyone to have more successful runs

[echo sundial]

for future reference you need a dude who can focus the balls

[copper edge]

Lfg lvl 77 triage cryo cross play off

[echo sundial]

yeah it's like a day one raid rn on contest people just dont know whats going on yet it'll get easier

its like day 1 pinwheel

but worse

[balmy wing]

it’s not a super complex boss so i imagine now that they know what’s up it won’t be super hard

[deep solar]

Pinwheel is definitely weenie hut jr by comparison

[balmy wing]

the biggest issue is the health pool

[digital plaza]

Wild out of context statement

[echo sundial]

I agree although getting to the boss is very very hard, even harder than the boss.

[floral slate]

top 0.1% and they couldn't figure out to match the 2 symbols

[echo sundial]

ball fondler is going to be the name of this role im certain

[floral slate]

compiler using a child's puzzle to protect itself

[deep solar]

And hey it worked

[floral slate]

IT REALLY DID

[echo sundial]

lmao it did

[digital plaza]

Day 1 pinwheel was super easy its not the same

[balmy wing]

yeah i’m really hoping they change the RNG elements

because i’d ideally like to experience it firsthand in my lifetime

[echo sundial]

well its like, maybe its an easy raid boss but bro you got 6 other teams trying to kill the same guy you gotta kill them too and thats hard af

[floral slate]

thats true too

[balmy wing]

yeah i’m noticing a lot of time getting eaten by teamfights

[digital plaza]

BALL FONDLER VS JERMA COMPILER?

[naive sky]

why does everyone only do free kits, its annoying 🙁 Keep going into lobbies with decent shit, lose basicly 1v3 cuz my fills always just die

[deep solar]

Once knowledge disseminates, better runs will start to happen. Like me and my squad couldn’t even figure out how to exfil just now

[balmy wing]

gotta run solo or squad up with the lads

[echo sundial]

yeah but then you'll start having teamfights in the boss room cuz two or more teams are gunning for the boss!!!

[balmy wing]

i don’t take any kits better than green into pubs

[echo sundial]

ur gonna get third partied in the boss room

[distant palm]

At first I was very against the AI subroutines being complete RNG because I had the impression that you had to bring them in to unlock vault 7 and could therefore lose them. Now knowing they unlock permanently, I think I'm still against it but not to the degree of "this is game-ruining"

[echo sundial]

i 100% expect it

[balmy wing]

idk watching snazzy burn his one red key and get to the vault first for literally nothing felt real bad

[deep solar]

Did they say what worlds first gets?

[distant palm]

Like it's the one thing I'd change by making it a guaranteed vault drop but otherwise Cryo seems pretty good

[echo sundial]

nothing its just glory

community race

rn

[balmy wing]

yeah if subroutines were guaranteed it would be perfect

[naive sky]

yeah... going to have to start grouping witgh ppl in this discord, cuz randoms are doggy

[distant palm]

Oh no I do agree, I do think it should be changed, it's just originally I thought it was way worse than it is right now

[balmy wing]

because it should be hella hard to fight the compiler that’s the fun of it

[subtle oracle]

at least guarantee it for 6

[digital plaza]

Funny that two leading teams did world first salvations edge

[balmy wing]

ngl i thought you would need to do all the vaults in one run

[deep solar]

I have a few irl friends that play but it’s hard when we’re all grown ass people with different schedules

[subtle oracle]

Im watching some of the worlds best raiders throw

[deep solar]

Randos haven’t been too bad so far

[distant palm]

7 vaults in 30 minutes is a fucking achievement right there

[balmy wing]

watching tyraxe fuck up that fight made me so mad 😭

[echo sundial]

dude lowkey I might wait a little to hop into cryo lmao if these dudes are getting dumpstered I got no chance

[digital plaza]

Cryo randoms either okay or really good

[balmy wing]

the ante probably helps a lot

[echo sundial]

what is the ante

[deep solar]

Minimum gear score

[echo sundial]

or ig what is an "ante"

[echo sundial]

ah okay

[deep solar]

The actual definition is an initial bet you place but in this context it’s your minimum gear score

[subtle oracle]

Its a lot of the nerves of being first. I think taking a few weekends to get your subroutines and then doing compiler runs will be the meta

[digital plaza]

I hope that all bad players lose their gear and i get only skilled guys with me on cryo

😊

[echo sundial]

nah man I wanna die 500 times on cryo too though lowkey

[balmy wing]

surely they’ve got it this time

[echo sundial]

this feels just like beating halo 2 on laso was for me

[subtle oracle]

A lot of the top players will filter to ranked for a few weeks imo

[deep solar]

I had some good randos last few runs, won a bunch of team fights

[balmy wing]

14 minutes is a lot of time

[echo sundial]

being in the 0.1-0.5% of the people who gets those achievements is so personally rewarding

halo 2 laso was insane and im sure I can do this too given enough time

[digital plaza]

Alright they are going in again

[echo sundial]

yup yup

[digital plaza]

Hope this is it

This is the one

[deep solar]

I see all the Cryo pods and bags and I’m just thinking “those are all BoBs that could be helping us”

(I know most are probably earthborn folks)

[subtle oracle]

they are all sol born

[echo sundial]

What do the terminals do are they matching symbols

[subtle oracle]

yes

like a certain arg step

[echo sundial]

I understand the freezing floor greenlight thing how do you match

[digital plaza]

Damn im so happy to see this raid like bossfight

Reminds of good ol destiny days

[echo sundial]

is it just press all the terminals with the same symbol?

[deep solar]

It really is. Takes me back to the first Calus race

[digital plaza]

Yes

Then damage phase

[echo sundial]

first encounter deep stone crypt lmao

that was so fun

[digital plaza]

Really simple if im being honest

[echo sundial]

I remember beating that raid day 1

what a blast

[subtle oracle]

they cant make the puzzles too difficult

bc of the nature of the game

[echo sundial]

yeah I figured the boss would be easy but like soon you're gonna be fighting players and also this boss at the same time

[digital plaza]

True

[echo sundial]

people will try to steal ur boss kill for sure

[digital plaza]

Still cool and fun tho

[digital plaza]

True

[echo sundial]

keep in mind they have full gold shields this might be very hard on purps

[subtle oracle]

this and also it becomes a heal sink at some point

[echo sundial]

the amount of meds they've used is easily like 15-20k in just meds

[deep solar]

I ain’t even seen a purple shield yet

[digital plaza]

Insane how many panacea kits he got

[subtle oracle]

oh absolutely. crazy thing is they picked most of them up

bc other teams and the loot rooms

[echo sundial]

it honestly might be easier rn because no teams can really get to the boss room atm besides worlds 1st guys

next weekend might be nuts with boss room 3rd parties

[deep solar]

Compiler just sitting there confused as to why they’re all fighting each other and not him

[subtle oracle]

Oh itll absolutely get harder to one team compiler as season goes on

[echo sundial]

lmao this team getting fussy

this fr happens every day one raid

always last encounter lol

[digital plaza]

Bro what are they doing xdddd

[subtle oracle]

I think ammo crates might be clutch here

[echo sundial]

they deadass didn't bring enough ammo

[olive niche]

N1 looking for PvP sweats cryo who know what there doing

[digital plaza]

#lfc-any-zone #1484690684190658690

[olive niche]

Oops

[subtle oracle]

It might be a thing of prioritizing certain people for certain consumables

[visual lynx]

missed this earlier: it's my theory based on the fact that in the cinematic trailer the sickness begins and a compiler is shown in the segment set in 2812, which is one year after the S'pht rebellion begins, suggesting to me a connection between the S'pht and the sickness.

[echo sundial]

FFFFF

they have no ball fondler this is why they're losing

[visual lynx]

and we know the S'pht have their s'ct'lac'tr bioweapon and that it was originally supposed to cause fungal zombies and that the sickness is fungal soooo....

[digital plaza]

Idk why they just wasting ammo

[echo sundial]

like fr the ball guy was a great idea and they just dont have a ball guy

idk why

[balmy wing]

jesus christ they had to reset again

[balmy wing]

i see where your head’s at and i like it

[subtle oracle]

I wonder if airlock resets the encounter

[echo sundial]

nah i dont think, but it does exist to counter 3rd parties I think

another team pushing is gonna have to go through there

[balmy wing]

i’m curious about the ticks, they certainly can’t be the ones from lho’owon but the room right before the compiler is full of em

[echo sundial]

if you bring nades they're cooked

[distant palm]

bro brought in 800 heavy rounds and still did not kill it

[latent python]

I'm going to guess if you win you can go forward instead of having to go back

[balmy wing]

insane work actually

[subtle oracle]

looting ammo crates to drop in the airlock might be the call

[balmy wing]

yeah

[echo sundial]

what about the spht damage mods

and the circuit breaker and shit?

[distant palm]

Ahh..... the humble ammo crate....

[subtle oracle]

oh absolutely but thats rng if you even have one

[digital plaza]

Oooh nice idea

[visual lynx]

seems more likely that they're a reinterpretation of what are interally called Lookers in M1 but which are never actually named or identified in-game at all

[subtle oracle]

The free kits were training us the whole time

[echo sundial]

there are also gun mods that drop ammo when you deal dps

which might be crazy for this

[subtle oracle]

Theres def some type of meta for this

[echo sundial]

I def think you need hella bubbles and insane amounts of ammo and meds for compiler kill

[balmy wing]

the fuckers from Fire! Fire?

[subtle oracle]

The biggest deal is defending against the balls

[echo sundial]

like idk if you can beat this w/ no bubs

[distant palm]

"Bring new land beyond and use kinetic synthesis"
-guy in Tyraxe's chat

[echo sundial]

yeah and you need a ball guy too lol

[digital plaza]

XD

[echo sundial]

I would bring like 8 bubbles and a shitload of flechette/nades to toss in the airlock when a new team shows up

[visual lynx]

and elsewhere yeah

[latent python]

has anyone else gotten into the room

[echo sundial]

imagine being the poor souls in there when my volley of grenades lands at ur feet

in the airlock lmao

[pure wagon]

The uh

[subtle oracle]

still hunt solar hunter time

i havent played since thats been the meta lmao

[pure wagon]

Layout of the marathon doesn’t subtly change each run does it ?

[balmy wing]

yea i can see that

[echo sundial]

nah I dont think so

[latent python]

the puzzles change a little bit

[pure wagon]

Ok so it’s just me then

[distant palm]

God. I remember when a blue rocket launcher with cluster bombs was the meta for Riven cheese

[pure wagon]

Did a few runs and the place was making my head hurt. Couldn’t keep track of where to go

Felt like the halls changed

Probably just cause it’s so big

[digital plaza]

OG games experience

[subtle oracle]

"Im back in the fucking building again!"

[distant palm]

i know why they cant beat compiler. its because no one is running well lock

[subtle oracle]

God imagine a prestige or superior bubble that heals while youre in it

[pure wagon]

Oh are ppl are compiler now ?

[echo sundial]

dude do yall remember that one sniper you had to have to beat atraks 1 in dsc

[visual lynx]

someone just needs to go up and start punching it to stun lock it

[subtle oracle]

yeah its race to finish compiler atp

[subtle oracle]

It hugged someone at full shields and health and insta down them 😭😭

[digital plaza]

Bog is now on compiler

[echo sundial]

I can't remember the name but it shot lighnting bolts and you had to grind a nightfall for it

[pure wagon]

Three destroyers just beating the shit out of it

[digital plaza]

Imagine if he does it first try

[subtle wagon]

bog's at compiler now

[subtle oracle]

M54 somewhere like "thats my boys"

[distant palm]

WAIT. I. I KNOW THIS GUN

[pure wagon]

GoodAnswerNephew.jpg

[distant palm]

WHATS ITS NAME 😭

[twin trout]

cloudstrike?

[echo sundial]

it was a sniper and it was absolutely necessary to beat DSC on day 1

[distant palm]

BINGO

[echo sundial]

yup thats it

[twin trout]

the pvp menace

[pure wagon]

DSC…home….

[sterile seal]

Imma be honest I think Marathon 4 would suck without the codexes and terminals because that's like the iconic Marathon thing, glad they nailed them.

[distant palm]

The fucking parkour section between Atraks and Taniks 1 will forever be engraved in my soul. that shit was so peak

[echo sundial]

bog's team getting dumpstered crazy style lmao 😭

[pure wagon]

The song bro the view the everything my HEART 😭

[subtle oracle]

theoretically

with 3 bubbles

[echo sundial]

it took us like 12 hours to get to that part and it was just the coolest thing ever man

[subtle oracle]

you could lock the compiler

[distant palm]

Clovis's speech too

[subtle oracle]

or just bubble the compiler while you do terminals

[echo sundial]

beyond light was meh but DSC is honestly one of the best destiny raids there is

it was so fun to play on day 1

[pure wagon]

Beyond light was my first expansion. I started d2 middle of it all. DSc was my first raid. It was amazing

[digital plaza]

One of the best raids ❤️

[pure wagon]

Can you actually perma stun lock punch enemies?

[distant palm]

i picked up d2 during Forsaken, I think Black Armory just dropped

[pure wagon]

Has anyone tried it ?

[echo sundial]

bog's team is retreating

back to tye's stream so I can juggle the two teams in the lead lmao

[subtle oracle]

i dont think so. But i think the compiler cant get in a bubble so maybe it cant get out either?

just pop a bubble over it at center and do terminals

[pure wagon]

That’s a shame. Cause three to six crayon eaters screaming SUFFER NOT THE XENO TO LIVE while punching it to death would have made marathons GOTY to me

[digital plaza]

WHAT IF BOG AND TYRAXE WOULD STREAM SNIPE EACHOTHER AND TEAM UP TO TAKE OUT THE COMPILER

[echo sundial]

Milo is not an amazing igl lmaooo

those comms were crazy

love him but that was so funny

[distant palm]

Bungie without fail always cooks on raids

Only (kinda) exception is RoN but it was still great in terms of art direction and lore

[twin trout]

I mean RoN performed really well as the "hook" to bring more people into raiding

while yes it did spawn the "I'm on ad clear turns off mic and refuses to listen to people" breed of player, that's still more players than before >w>

[distant palm]

true..

[echo sundial]

honestly I quest destiny 2 after DSC because of school, I kinda wanna go back and see what I missed but the game being so dead is really sad

[sterile seal]

How difficult have the Cryo quests been?

[digital plaza]

From vow of the disciple to ron was crazy fumble

[echo sundial]

I don't think I'd have anyone to play the raids I didn't get to play, my old day one team is all probably married and working now

[distant palm]

Witch Queen was peak, Lightfall was honestly mid but not terrible, Final Shape is absolute peak

[twin trout]

herald of finality so cool :3

gosh the music for salvation's edge was soooo goog

[digital plaza]

You mean weekly contracts?

[echo sundial]

We'll see, one of my destiny friends that I knew committed suicide last year and its been hard to even reinstall the game thinking about it.

but thats on me lmao not the game

[terse walrus]

fyi you can reroll cryo contracts for free right now and it cycles through what the rewards are for so you can target weapons shields and backpacks

[distant palm]

Verity OST went so hard even though I never actually did the raid

[subtle oracle]

i swear that keys were a reward but it may not be listed

might be a chance reward

[terse walrus]

i dont know i only cycled so many times

[echo sundial]

oh thats sick

[sterile seal]

Yeah, the repeatable stuff.

[echo sundial]

if I were to reinstall can I still play the campaigns, do I have to buy all three of the DLCs?

it might be worth just to do that

[distant palm]

youd have to buy all three DLCs still I think </3

[digital plaza]

They fine i guess, not super hard

[twin trout]

shapes: the encounter

[sterile seal]

Haven't had a chance to try Cryo yet been at work all day lol, probably won't even attempt until next weekend when my vault is a bit more full

[distant palm]

Geometry Class

[terse walrus]

also just discovered specter protocol perk on body cores

precision kills turn you invis for a few seconds

[twin trout]

yeas :3

[terse walrus]

im f tier sniper but seems pretty rad

[twin trout]

if people complain about assassin now just wait until more people get the alt invis methods

[distant palm]

Only slightly related but its sometimes funny to find weapon mods where I read the description and go "oh this is a D2 perk"

[echo sundial]

ill check the price but itll have to wait

my fucking car got towed today lmao

Im short like $300

[digital plaza]

lol

[terse walrus]

why did all my sticker and profile icon status's get unread

like ive seen them all already and clicked them what happened where i had to go click on them all again

[twin trout]

that happened to me too <w<, there's a read all button though :D

[digital plaza]

They updated those systems

[subtle oracle]

Theres a read all button

should be

[terse walrus]

it didnt work last time i tried that

did they make it where we could use one charm on multiple items?

or do we still need to buy duplicates

honestly we need charm size and sticker size sliders

i want some chonky mf charms and big ol stickies

[sterile seal]

Are those just kills that aren't explosives?

[terse walrus]

head shots

[digital plaza]

Nothing changed, they just updated some stickers placement and sorting i think

[twin trout]

shoot bad guy in the head

[terse walrus]

weakpoint shots

[twin trout]

plink a skinny uesc bobot and become invis

headshot will make me invisible

when no-one hears a woooord

they saaaay

is the memory gone are you feeeliiing numb

[terse walrus]

people think that emoji is salute but its actually headpat
