new-noise

[elfin wagon]

i think you will have higher chances once the alpha actually starts and they actually start increasing server capacity and stuff

[still laurel]

I was raised by my russian Armenian neighbors grandma. Taught me how to speak it and the history behind 1915. Rest her soul. Her cooking was amazing

[pastel fjord]

im guessing most will come out day of

[tiny viper]

will marathon get a battleroyal mode?

[robust geyser]

go back to pubg bro

[tepid cosmos]

блин, хотел позавидовать xD

[elfin wagon]

no

[eager surge]

Yeah I havent given up lol really excited for when it begins

[tiny viper]

i cant i live in australia it dead here 😦

[elfin wagon]

yeah wish you luck though!

[robust geyser]

Its dead in the US too, at least im pretty sure it is(?)

[placid storm]

don’t give up skeleton!

[tiny viper]

thats why marathon should be battleroyal

[robust geyser]

i think it should have a campaign mode that incorparates the pvp

[hollow river]

born to play marathon alpha, cursed to be european

[placid storm]

jarvis, tomato that guy

[robust geyser]

like the more you progress and loot the more campaign you unlock

[tiny viper]

i agree and battleroyal

[pastel fjord]

born to play marathon alpha, cursed to have bad RNG

[robust geyser]

do me a favor and disband the EU thanks

[elfin wagon]

you do have main story quests

[robust geyser]

are you sure ur allowed to tell me that

[robust sable]

Please, no. Leave out the fortnite kiddos

[elfin wagon]

yes its in several developer qnas with content creators

[tiny viper]

marathon could be a better battleroyal than fornite

[robust sable]

Sure, just ignore the biggest player base in almost all games 😁

[keen scarab]

Hurray for skeleton, by the way victory ahead!

[pastel fjord]

[robust geyser]

=disbanding the EU does not mean genociding the europeans wtf, and last i checked most europeans hated the EU anyways

[tiny viper]

hey at least they forced apple to use usb c

[robust geyser]

true

[robust sable]

I'm European and that's propaganda tbh

[hollow river]

sorry i cant disband it because im not actually in the eu we only have a deal with em

[tiny viper]

but yea f the eu

[placid storm]

praise dog!

[robust sable]

Nobody wants to get rid of EU. That would send us back to medieval times and make us more vulnerable to us/ru influence. But enough politics

[robust geyser]

most germans ik and people who moved from europe (germans, italians) always criticize the EU, i dont wanna get political though, im careful to avoid the US propoganda since im muslim

[lofty mesa]

ز

[tiny viper]

i think the eu should make marathon battleroyal to redeem them selves

[robust geyser]

keefa haluka?

[elfin wagon]

for clarification the story is likely not going to be in the alpha tests but they will give placeholder quests instead... they probably wont do anything story related until the game actually comes out

[robust geyser]

thats smart

[pastel fjord]

i thought the story wasnt written yet

[tiny viper]

look man i also play dark souls give me some respect

[elfin wagon]

not a mida activist?
smh

[tiny viper]

and i think nighrein should have been battleroyal as well

[errant wren]

how many hours till servers are open?

[robust geyser]

you should play ghost of tsushima

[tiny viper]

i have such a fun game

[robust geyser]

google.com will tell you, idk tho

[keen scarab]

Elden Night Reign is a battle royale already

[robust geyser]

u should play celeste, it literally makes you want to do bad things to yourself

[frail tiger]

If you are interested to SWEAT this game like its a SAUNA BABY then hit me up in a DM, I am trying to connect the most focused players in town for a fun time together

[errant wren]

couldnt find anything

[keen scarab]

Chadpilled

[tiny viper]

ur not gonna believe this

[frosty ore]

[royal mortar]

where's my code

[robust geyser]

i stole it

[tiny viper]

i also played celeste and made my switch have stick drift 2 times

[elfin wagon]

in your email right now

[covert beacon]

Where is my code 😭

[elfin wagon]

made you look lol mb

[pastel fjord]

im believing you let me go check.......
Awwwwwww

[robust geyser]

ive literally debated throwing my ps5 controller into a wall like 5 times playing that game, im debating buying the pro controller just for celeste

[tiny viper]

hahahahaha

[pastel fjord]

just the normal story or bonus levels?

[robust geyser]

i have 23 hours ands am only on like 3 B-reel

[elfin wagon]

play it on keyboard its better

[robust geyser]

or 4 B reel idk, also keyboard was like 200 times harder fym

[royal mortar]

False

[tiny viper]

i beat it solo hardest boss i ever fought against out of all from soft games

[robust geyser]

ive spent the longest on Bonus levels lol

[royal mortar]

😤

[elfin wagon]

helps with guaranteeing you are going in the direction you want if you are not used to a joystick

[tiny viper]

absolut chad

[robust geyser]

Im used to joystick but the risk of misinput is so high LOL

[pastel fjord]

i too like keyboard better for celeste

[compact lagoon]

Hello

[robust geyser]

i connect the controller to my gaming pc, i dont rly play games on ps5 anymore, my little brother uses it more

[elfin wagon]

yeah celeste was built with keyboard in mind wich is so AWESOME

[robust geyser]

yea, its set up like older platformers too, where you ignore the mouse

[keen scarab]

Greetings

[elfin wagon]

why would you use a mouse for a 2d platformer?

[tiny viper]

bro same hard to not use it after getting used to it

[robust geyser]

no but like, the controls are designed for left hand as your prescision hand (as contrasted as your right hand as your precision hand, due to using mouse) and you right hand as your general movement hand(like wasd but ur right hand)

[elfin wagon]

you can use arrowkeys or wasd doesnt really matter

[chilly orbit]

@silk kayak you forgot to give me a code for the alpha

[robust geyser]

yahmar im talking about the default keys hahaha

[robust geyser]

they aint not giving u one after that message

[chilly orbit]

but why not im very polite

[swift oasis]

they just gonna explode you for that

[lusty pivot]

bungee, since I didn't get an alpha key, can I get your car keys instead pls

[radiant yew]

👋

[robust geyser]

bungie i bought silver like 3 times can i pls have key (jk)

[elfin wagon]

dang i thought i bought more silver than most people with only twice

[robust geyser]

whisper skins plus izagnagi skins lol

[chilly orbit]

my friends (who are not enlightened about marathon) would likely make very bad assumptions if that was my name

[silver gull]

hello, how to get alpha key?

[robust geyser]

go to las vegas

[orchid edge]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-marathon-hop-on-marathon-glitch-gif-14212486810448612752

[radiant yew]

Lol.
Honestly, am just very curious to see how Marathon plays out.

[robust geyser]

you get good loot just for a three stack to absolutely eviscerate you and your duo

[elfin wagon]

ah i did it for shaders and winter armor ornaments when i didnt feel like grinding for bright dust
and i think i got a skin for some exotic but i forgot

[radiant yew]

So Tarkov?

[robust geyser]

yea but with sensory overload

[burnt thorn]

When complaining for codes you gotta do it all passive aggressive like

[radiant yew]

Totally doesnt make me nervous at all. Lol

[languid hemlock]

Hope I get an Alpha code. 😊

[burnt thorn]

“Why is my email empty? Someone made a mistake!”

[robust geyser]

If god wills it, you will all recieve codes, if he does not, it was for the better, dont let it let you guys get down

[lusty pivot]

To get an alpha code you have to go outside and scream "marathon alpha code please" 3 times

[chilly orbit]

honestly, dont even care about the alpha, im more of a beta myself

[robust geyser]

emailing pete rn, got a classic porsche for him to buy

[onyx breach]

Mashallah

[robust geyser]

where im from, lets just say they call me the sigma, heh, heheh

[fluid parrot]

God i cant wait for marathon i pray for alpha so i can see if its gonna be more fun than tarkov 😭💔 (dumped 2k hours and hate that game) im also praying bungo does focus about the story bc im really interesting in that

[robust geyser]

hahah you got me, whatever bro

[olive steeple]

Hey guys. Im afraid im not gonna get a key. So does anyone here that has a key wanna maybe stream it to me so i can see the game 🥹

[swift oasis]

tbh I just wanna play an extraction shooter that isn't 40% cheaters ngl

[chilly orbit]

they deleted my message i def just got blacklisted

[robust geyser]

😂 always watching

[fluid parrot]

So many messages being delete

[swift oasis]

maybe but it'll be better than tarkov

[elfin wagon]

tbh i feel like a lot of alpha testers are looking for an already complete game and thinking this is a way to get into it for free and early

in reality the alpha test will have quite a number of bugs, balance issues, and issues with the overall gameplay loop that still need ironing out

[fluid parrot]

Thank you to the bungo gods always watcjing over us

[chilly orbit]

bungie, my bungie and steam account is not ALSO Dinostoned. i swear, please believe me

[lusty pivot]

I was joking, don't do that

[robust geyser]

im expecting it to be completely half baked but i feel that would make it so much more fun, imagine cyperpunk release level bugs in a public lobby HAHAH

[fluid parrot]

Oh im ready for the bugs im ready for it to be more broken than og tarkov and excited

[olive steeple]

Makes it even worse when you think about all the people that got in that are expecting a finished product and they are all gonna say its a bad game lol

[fluid parrot]

I just want to make some content on a bungie game bc d2 feel stale and d1 isnt ported to pc so cant make content on me playing through that 🫠

[elfin wagon]

i mean when they did the pre alpha test with the content creators and others it seemed to be smooth but it had balancing issues and it was mainly JUST the main gameplay loop

there were also some unfun things like not being able to remove attatchments from guns

[elfin wagon]

yeah i agree

[ruby geyser]

pls give the access, bungie

[burnt thorn]

I swear half the people that got in applied the code to the wrong account

[teal jetty]

Xd hah

[chilly orbit]

i do think it'll be fun even in the alpha phase, my only concern is a lack of content and a reason to keep playing. obviously if the game is fun, thats reason enough for a while, but i really like grinding of cosmetics and the like.

[fluid parrot]

Did they already send codes?

[forest ibex]

do we know how they were distributing codes? where would I check is it just an email?

[undone plaza]

they're sending waves

[chilly orbit]

to some yes. i believe they're slowly rolling out codes over the next few days even after the alpha goes live.

[swift oasis]

yeah

[feral hinge]

the underaged kid got banned

[hollow island]

There's gonna be a million streams up, just find one with like 2 viewers, pretty much same thing right?

[olive steeple]

Nah i wanna talk about it not wait for someone to read my message

[fluid parrot]

Is it through like steam codes? Or they making it like a redeem in bungie website to get special launcher ?

[lusty pivot]

email

[chilly orbit]

after you apply you could get an email and or receive a code on the bungie website

[swift oasis]

I'm pretty sure it'll just be a steam code considering the alpha is on consoles too, idk for sure tho

[empty hound]

I got mine a little over 12 hours ago. They send an e-mail but all it does is tell you to go get your store code from bungie.net. An extra "Game Codes" tab appears on the Code Redemption page and has a code and indicates what platform it is for.

[fluid parrot]

I see

[keen scarab]

If you applied for PC then you get steam codes. You'll get them either through email or Bungie's website so make sure to check both

[elfin wagon]

the way you should think of it:
expect bugs.. infact look for bugs

look for issues with the game and then give your feedback about it
also just play the game and have fun but make sure to give your feedback even if you did have fun so they know what they did right and what was wrong

but certainly dont say the game is terrible because they dont have something in the game... its unfinished.. its an alpha test for crying out loud... it will change

[chilly orbit]

thats what i heard anyhow. i have yet to get a code myself (despite my prayer and sacrifices)

[burnt thorn]

Also gjallarhorn is required. Don’t bother signing up if you don’t have one

[olive steeple]

Good thing i owned rise of iron

[oblique haven]

i still have codes (for gjallajorn for d1) from the local fred meyers closing

[elfin wagon]

if there will be vcs in this server i will likely stream here sometimes but i doubt it

im sorry but im not joining any discord servers just to stream the game and i dont think im the type to hangout in a group chat

[empty hound]

Rise of Iron = ROI = Return on Investment

[elfin wagon]

that is also to say if the game runs smoothly on my pc

[chilly orbit]

and if i dont get into the alpha then i'm avoiding this server to prevent worsening the crash out

[burnt thorn]

I already went through my crash out. In recovery phase

[chilly orbit]

thats not a threat, dont listen to him bungie!!!

[elfin wagon]

you are more likely to get in once the alpha actually starts because they will be expanding the servers as the alpha goes on.. they are starting small and they will slowly increase it to stress test the servers

[chilly orbit]

yeah i just wanna go into it pretty blind. if bungie are keeping secrets about certain aspects about the game, then i'd really love to uncover them by myself or with the help of my other friends. having the community do all the work for you can be lame (for me personally)

[boreal ginkgo]

hopefully in ranked there’s more friction for the more veteran players

[empty hound]

They're making a raid 2.0 on the Marathon

[elfin wagon]

well yeah a lot of the secrets bungie has will either be revealed by them as time goes on or they wont be in the alpha

[burnt thorn]

instead of Tetris in menus we should play breakout in the menus for more friction

[empty hound]

They should have Marathon playable in game just like Metroid Prime did with the original Metroid

[dapper frost]

[chilly orbit]

thats a good point but i feel like since content creators got to check out the raids mechanics that we have a good chance of doing so as well

[opal whale]

so what are the odds you will eventually have alpha access if you got in this early

[chilly orbit]

@silk kayak i think i put too much milk in my protein shake so its really foamy and i dont like it. any ideas what i should do?

[rancid siren]

Chuck it at a person

[chilly orbit]

id do that for a code yeah...

[elfin wagon]

this is true but a lot of it will still not be totally finished by far

ultimately if you dont want to ruin the game for youself and want the full experience... play the game when it releases and not when its in alpha

[robust geyser]

we getting wrath of the machine in marathon before destiny 2 smh

[chilly orbit]

im kind of a die hard bungie fan. thatd be like asking me to wait till marriage

[burnt thorn]

Given how many people will be watching streams I wouldn’t anticipate they put anything in the alpha particularly spoilerific

[elfin wagon]

lol ok true but hey first time is usually the most special true for games and well uh

[chilly orbit]

i feel like we're building towards a mpreg moment

[storm bough]

Can we have a twitch drop tomorrow?

[elfin wagon]

you caught me

[storm bough]

😭 🙏 My friend have a code but I dont have

[dry flint]

I dont think ive ever been so involved in a game😔. Ive never played a bungie game and like marvel rivals took me over when it came out I have 300 hours and im gm, but I can tell this game is about to ruin me bro

[keen scarab]

What's your profile picture from?

[rugged lagoon]

Are there no more waves going out?

[elfin wagon]

ive tested games countless times before but never something on the scale of bungie

[burnt thorn]

we are all ideal specimen for alpha

[dry flint]

I tested a few games, rivals being one I played the alpha and beta. I hope to add this one to the list🥺

[chilly orbit]

i guarantee you if there was a cat walk we all had to strut down for the chance to win a code you all would be in trouble

[rugged lagoon]

Supervive was the last closed test I participated in and I loooved it. Went by Project Loki.

[dry flint]

Holy shit supervive mentioned

[chilly orbit]

i liked supervive a lot

[keen scarab]

Oh nice, thanks. I was actually meaning to read Armor sometime, didn't know this was the cover

[rugged lagoon]

Lobbies were like, half former OW/League pros and super sweaty but we were all still figuring it out so it was tons of fun.

[rugged lagoon]

Void was oogghghh- teleports in any kit are so good.

[elfin wagon]

hard flex and i probably cant really prove it but i beta tested lethal company

idk why i even felt the need to say it since it feels like just saying "oh im cool because i am friends with a cool person" lol

[chilly orbit]

i forget the names its been a while, but i liked Felix i think his name was. dude with the flamethrower

[dry flint]

Nah thats cool I like Zeekers games, im gonna tweak out if they dont drop another update for it though 🥺

[rugged lagoon]

Yem! They weren't played that much.

[elfin wagon]

trust me he is working hard on a new update just been in a creative lock

[frail path]

did anyone get a code yet?

[chilly orbit]

i also liked the lightning girl, but i wasnt very good at her. much more consistent with felix

[rain glen]

many people have, just keep waiting as they arent done sending out codes

[rugged lagoon]

Joule - stacks lightning and pops them for % health damage. Is a one trick pony type character.

[frail path]

thanks bro

[dry flint]

[elfin wagon]

oof i hope you get in on this one later on though
praying for more keys to be released sooner rather than later

[chilly orbit]

fantastic character design though. i loved her

[dry flint]

Never stop hopeing🙏

[keen scarab]

Damn, yeah it looks cool. Any other recommendations?

[real lance]

if you get a code they'll give you the "CAP" role on teh server for Closed Alpha Playtest

[errant wren]

l;alalala

[elfin wagon]

mentioning this as a guy who has been folowing him watching his every move like a creep...

[royal obsidian]

question. is the alpha play test able to be downloaded already?

[elfin wagon]

yes but its just the main menu

[royal obsidian]

im in the US but just says to wishlist

[rugged lagoon]

Yeee. I played Void / Myth (she got so much nicer to play on full release) / Ghost / and Oath. Sometimes Shrike when not in stacked lobbies, for funsies.

[rain glen]

should already be in your library if you redeemed the code

[royal obsidian]

ahh so if i didnt get the code i wasnt picked?

[arctic peak]

Which runner are you guys playing first

[dry flint]

Should I genuinely pray to bungie tonight for a code

[chilly orbit]

yeah it was a great game. pretty good community too in my experience

[rain glen]

no but you should check your email bc you have the closed alpha role

[keen scarab]

And if not in the email then check "redeem codes" on Bungie's website ^

[shut inlet]

lucky

[royal obsidian]

oh i see it, thanks i dont check my emails lol

[rugged lagoon]

Saaame. There was only one streamer dude I had an issue with that came in with ego, didn't shotcall at all, and then complained when the group was following me instead lol.

[rain glen]

yup! just copy n paste it into steam and you should be set

[burnt thorn]

I don’t check my email either except compulsively every 2 minutes for the last two days

[rugged lagoon]

Other randoms that'd popped in were chill for the most part.

[shut inlet]

at work i saw a sign that says "marathon" and my brain rot triggered

[chilly orbit]

right yeah. like i dont remember getting flamed even once

[royal obsidian]

im getting clowned on fr, these gifs are fire

[chilly orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-jerma985-deranged-stare-gif-25525909

[shut inlet]

IT SHOULDVE BEEN ME NOT HIM

ITS NOT FAIR

[dry flint]

The stare memes will always make me laugh though😭

[rain glen]

you have to make peace with not getting alpha before you get alpha

[dry flint]

I am NOT that emotionally mature

[royal obsidian]

IM SORRY SPARTSYYY

[shut inlet]

im literally getting crazy anxiety the alpha starts tomorrow and i am accessless

[royal obsidian]

spartsy im away for the start do you want my code?

[rugged lagoon]

Same. I luv games that are best played with coordinated groups even if they usually end up being niche.

[rain glen]

you cant transfer, its linked to your bungo account

[patent mortar]

am i too late to get an alpha code I only just joined the discord

[shut inlet]

as honored as i am and as kind as that is, the code is yours and you earned it sir

[royal obsidian]

frick lol

[dry flint]

Lets combine our spirit so we get double the chance to get a code

[elfin wagon]

do not give away your code

[shut inlet]

AYE

[chilly orbit]

YES. thats exactly what i hope marathon will be

[rugged lagoon]

Evolve Stage 2 dying as quickly as it did. q-q

[dense raft]

If they said preorder gives access to alpha i would payr RN

[royal obsidian]

i do not deserve it o7

[dry flint]

The one game I never got to play. Damn shame

[rain glen]

the gods chose you sir, that makes you worthy

[burnt thorn]

It’s not the code you deserve, just the one you need right now

[shut inlet]

bungie has deemed you worthy
go forth with our blessing

[chilly orbit]

i LOVED Evolve. people said the gameplay loop got tiring, but it never overstayed its welcome for me. goated game.

[rain glen]

will you rise to the occasio

[frail path]

Bungie i have 10 years under my belt on destiny if u give me a code my life is yours

[rain glen]

sounds like it already is (me too)

[elfin wagon]

if you give away your code:

1. you will no longer be able to play the test
2. bungie will not be able to get your proper feedback on the game that they gave you alpha access for

[shut inlet]

sounds about right

[keen scarab]

What of the discord?

[rain glen]

its also not possible bc the code is linked specifically to your bungie account and isn't transferrable

[shut inlet]

as desperate as i am for a code, im too nice and itd feel wrong for me to take anyones code

[dry flint]

He can only use your code if you let him sign into whatever account you have lol it will never be his code

[rain glen]

anyone trying to sell codes is either intentionally or unwittingly scamming bc it just straight up wont work

[rugged lagoon]

Awwh it was greaaat. I ended up getting snagged by an amateur team as a monster player and bringing them to finals twice. They had busy lives and I was still a teen so I had more to spare scrimming. It got me hooked but game died within like, two months? Three?

[elfin wagon]

idk if it works like this but if the code is also account bound too then thats awesome

[shut inlet]

@royal obsidian but again ty for your offer it really means a lot but its yours ❤️

[rain glen]

it is i promise

[dry flint]

Yup they are account bound

[rancid siren]

Chat am almost done with work

[dense raft]

Why would not work? Isny the key to redeem on steam?

[rain glen]

yes but your steam account has to be linked to your bungie account and the bungie account is the one that matters

[elfin wagon]

yeah its a code you redeem on steam but also steam knows who the code is for and wont let other people use the code

[shut inlet]

oh hi dax i remember you

[rugged lagoon]

Yea. It had so much depth on both sides. I'd say monster could've used a few more options and one of the biggest issues was perks not being immediately available to new players. It's like old League having the % increase pages, I forgor what they were called.

[rain glen]

this is ominous what

[dense raft]

Oh i see :/ i was looking for someone seeling it, thanks for the heads up guys ❤️

[dry flint]

thats crazy, I used to watch videos of people playing it all day, never got it though because I was younger maybe like middle school and i dont remember if I had the right systems or if my old computer could have even ran it.

[shut inlet]

from a few days ago we talked about my theory that bungie is only giving access codes to non destiyn addicts

[rain glen]

oh shit lol i didnt recognize ur user

[elfin wagon]

sorry but that is very false

[rain glen]

is only jokes

[shut inlet]

i know its false it was just a theory i came up with so i can create more copium as sustenance

[rugged lagoon]

Oogh. Maybe one day we'll get something similar. The only alive 4v1 game I know is Dead By Daylight and it can be fun but you'll get death threats and toxicity if you do well. >,>

[royal obsidian]

sorry but could someone link to "game codes" im struggling

[chilly orbit]

hopefully we see something like Evolve again eventually. too many great memories were made to not be recreated into something else, even if its not from the same studio

[rain glen]

i'm betting they pulled a small group from a bunch of different pc specs/gametime etc

[rugged lagoon]

Same. I miss it so much.

[royal obsidian]

never mind im special

[dry flint]

Fun game but way to hard for new players swear everyone left is a sweat. I litteraly only four stack with my friends because we actually have fun and run around. Love killer tho

[elfin wagon]

ah lol well i mean it would be funny if it was that way lol

sadly i think ive encountered at least 5 people in this chat already today that are alpha access and have spent their lives on destiny

[rain glen]

i'm like 1.2k hours on d2 but also like 200ish hours on tarkov/hunt showdown

[dry flint]

Evovle 3 please ☺️

[rugged lagoon]

Iunno how they do their matchmaking but I didn't have tooo much an issue getting used to the game when I first got into it as killer. Other than the meta being Dead Hard (not nerfed) annnnd I forget what the other one was they paired it with.

[chilly orbit]

i have like 50 hrs on D1 and 8hrs on D2. let me in bungie :)

[shut inlet]

ive got nearly 6100 hours in destiny i need friends

[dense raft]

Anyway something strage happened to me, last week i submitted to the aplha ad did the survey, so i started checking my email and also sometime i tried to type here again the alpha command just to be sure i did averything right and in fact it used to tell me “you already completed this survey” or something like that.
BUT this morning i did the same thing and it made me fill the survey once again, so i was wondering if i did not even got in a potential list of testers to be choosen to begin with. :/

[hollow island]

I should try Hunt again, it was fun the few times I played, but then they wanted me to do a 60GB patch :/

[elfin wagon]

i used to be a destiny 2 addict but i fell off during the sunsets of the redwar and forsaken but i picked it up again after a year long break but im also playing it less overall just for my sanity and mental health

[rain glen]

yeah they updated the whole engine lol

[hollow island]

Does anything cool apart from Hunt actually use CryEngine? I know it exists but I never hear about it

[rain glen]

the crisis games

[dry flint]

Probably the player pool left, when I first started playing back in like what 2017 it was nice obviously alot easier but now coming back maybe its because im too high of a level im always against ttv people on crack hitting spin moves and blinding me

[rugged lagoon]

I wish there was a scifi / high fantasy version of Foxhole but that's my current fix rn. And yea Crysis and Prey.

[elfin wagon]

ive since moved onto LOTS of other games but still hop on destiny like once or twice a week

[chilly orbit]

kingdom come deliverance 2 (my game of the decade probably)

[hollow island]

*within the last 5 years then lol

[vagrant ingot]

Bungie can you honestly let me in the Marathon alpha? You’re so epic, Bungie. Your games always blow my mind, you always make me hyped. You literally make me want to grind harder to be a better gamer... I really cherish every moment I spend in your worlds. I wanna be your tester. My time has no value unless it’s spent playing in your worlds. I tell all my IRL friends how legendary you are. Thank you for being you. Whenever you need a tester for anything, know that I’ll always be right here, ready to pick up a controller. I’m so stoked. I don’t think you realize how much this alpha means to fans sometimes. Gaming isn’t as fun without a chance to try it early. Your extraction shooter vibe is straight-up fire. I want to be a runner in your closed alpha. The way you craft gameplay, your mechanics are insane. If I had a star for every time I dreamed of playing Marathon, I could light up the whole galaxy. You guys are honestly creative geniuses. Please, let me in the alpha. I’m not even calling it just testing anymore because I know I’ll be all in for the full release on September 23, k? I ADMIT IT, I’M OBSESSED WITH MARATHON, OK? I hecking love your game, and it breaks my heart when I see others get alpha codes or streamers flexing their access - esp ppl not even in a faction. I just want to be your tester and have a wall of Discord pings hyping me up. I want to be in a team, talk in the Marathon Discord all night, and extract with my team, but you seem so uninterested in picking me, it hecking kills me, and I can’t take it anymore. I tried to sign up with that / alpha command, but it didn't work and I care too much about this chance, so please, I’m begging you to either pick me or let me know I’m out and never tease me again. It hurts so much to say this because I need to feel like a Runner, but if you don’t choose me, I want you to pass me over clearly, because seeing those alpha invites in Discord crushes me every day of my life.

As a killer player, the bully squads were annoying when I was new.

[chilly orbit]

it did for me pre-barber patch. after the update it runs worse overtime. maybe its a dlss thing or something, but i find myself wanting to give the game a restart every couple hours

Halo 2 was my fave Halo campaign

[shut inlet]

ok friends im gonna drive home now maybe ill be back in 30 min

[half folio]

Some people don’t have it?

[chilly orbit]

ofc i know it

[narrow seal]

I’ve played all their games religiously, except for d2, and they won’t let me in

Its sad time hours tbh

[velvet bronze]

i played all their games religiously and d2 specifically and they wont let me in lol

[chilly orbit]

for me, halo 3 holds a special place in my heart. though i acknowledge that halo 2 has a better story overall.

[mental hemlock]

I played more so I should be in the alpha/beta is a sad take

[worthy obsidian]

marry datto and your child will get a code 🙏

[narrow seal]

I can’t even prove I played marathon religiously as a child, but I did, and they still won’t let me

[chilly orbit]

YES imagine if they redid the little alien screeches from the OG games. GOD i would swoon

[rugged lagoon]

I think Halo 3: ODST had a cool theme to it

[worn river]

make sure to check ur junk mail, that's where mine was

[velvet bronze]

yeah

[narrow seal]

Bungie shaped my autism in a way no other game could 😩

[rugged lagoon]

Halo Reach was my favorite multiplayer though. I spent tons of time in forge modes with friends.

[subtle python]

Probably a dumb question but if I got a code for the alpha do I get 2 for friends or is that not for everyone?

[narrow seal]

I stopped liking halo after reach tbh, by halo 4 it felt like an imposter game and they massacred the shotgun 😭

[chilly orbit]

ODST is also kino. Halo 3 also my fav for multiplayer since i just enjoyed those custom lobbies a bit more (also vidmaster achievement grinding was fun for 7 year old me)

[candid drum]

what email was it from?

[rugged lagoon]

Same. I didn't get anything past Reach.

[narrow seal]

343 just had boots they couldn’t fill

It’s not their fault honestly

[rugged lagoon]

Younger me didn't get toooooo into 3 so I don't have a strong opinion on it.

[chilly orbit]

CRUEL

[elfin wagon]

halo infinite pvp was fun its just the gameplay is always the same to me so it slowly just gets boring over time

[chilly orbit]

i actually really really liked Halo infinite. i just wish they didnt go down the free to play model and supported the game in a traditional manner. i even liked the campaign a lot and ik im in the minority for that

[narrow seal]

I felt like they missed out on a lot. The classic weapons were what made the game and most of them were just missing in favor of being fused into lack luster combos :/

[chilly orbit]

i hope them rebranding to Halo Studios isn't too dramatic since I think they struck a beautiful balance between 343's realism and Bungie's style

[narrow seal]

I prayed every day for the carbine, only to get left on read by god

[elfin wagon]

i sadly didnt buy the campaign yet even to this day... originally it was because i wanted to finish actually playing through the campaign of halo 4 but i didnt have my xbox with me in college so i would have to buy it on pc
but now its just like idk if its worth getting at this point

also im a pc gamer now for over 3 years so xbox gaming is difficult for me

[rancid siren]

Work done, time to vibe

[chilly orbit]

i mean if you're willing to set aside a month, i recommend xbox game pass. you can play the master chief collection with all the games (excluding Halo 5 unfortunately, but you can stream it to your platform of choice if you're so inclined), then play Infinite after that. Once you're done, cancel the subscription

[elfin wagon]

true ill keep it in mind

but mainly its just one of the things i havent gotten around to yet

[chilly orbit]

ofc. you should just also keep in mind that if you do do that then you owe me an essay on each campaign explaining what you liked and disliked about each of them. oh and that you owe me $40

[elfin wagon]

lol

been too focused on marvel rivals, valorant, destiny, monster hunter, and lots of singleplayer games and such

one game im kinda working through is satisfactory

[wanton niche]

Who How to Claim Border

[chilly orbit]

yep. and an oblivion remake is supposed to hit in like checks watch 5 hours?

[elfin wagon]

cant anymore quest is gone forever banished to the shadow realm... life is dead as we know it

[narrow seal]

Can I give you a non essay about halo 4

[cloud pelican]

Tem gnt até falando inglês

[chilly orbit]

so like a sentence? lol sure

[narrow seal]

Everything is brown. The color grading is mg first and biggest issue

Idk how people don’t notice but it literally has a poop brown color grading to it

Like we went from vibrant blues and reds. To literally even the sky has a poop hue, in halo 4

Compare 3 and 4 and it’s more noticeable. everything is tinged brown

[frozen kestrel]

no

[narrow seal]

Maybe I’m just more picky about it but I didn’t appreciate the art style in 4, at all

[elfin wagon]

i heared this in a video about the game too a long time ago

[narrow seal]

We all like different things of course, but I really couldn’t get past everything having a brown hue layered on it

[chilly orbit]

i see more blue and white than brown. theres definitely brown levels. my complaint with the visual style is that there's just too much detail if that makes sense. bungie kept their designs simple and let their textures breathe. its funny bc for some reason i think halo 5 looks better, maybe bc its a higher resolution so you can actually see a lot of that work better.

[narrow seal]

That’s very interesting tbh, I don’t mind the gameplay. I got my problems with it, but the colors and art, really ain’t it for me

[chilly orbit]

any The Division DMZ lovers in the chat?

[elfin wagon]

tarkov hater here

[narrow seal]

I’m the worlds number tarkov hater 😤

Jk I’ve never played it. Only consumed a few pieces of media regarding their struggle to deal with cheating

[elfin wagon]

like i like tarkov but it has way too many little things that just block you from playing the game

[lusty sapphire]

[elfin wagon]

like i think the most annoying this is getting gear in the game... like you have to learn a loot route or you just wont get much and wont know what you are doing

huge gate to entry for new players

[sharp tree]

but the realism is cool and such for a couple runs

[dry flint]

Chat can you let me know if I appeased the haters 🥺🙏 https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1364185649351229500

[narrow seal]

I also want your money

[elfin wagon]

yeah realism is awesome.. gunplay is cool... i like the inventory and the loot.. just sucks you can die in 1 shot but also you lose so much

[narrow seal]

Hear me out on this one. Plz ☹️

[sharp tree]

thats why its cool for a couple matches but then gets annoying after having to continue to deal with it

[elfin wagon]

also if you run out of gear and missing gear you cant do a scav raid back to back... you have to wait a while

[thin pebble]

Worm

[elfin wagon]

the idea that factions can sponsor you with gear for your raids in marathon though is awesome and i hope its like they will do that all the time

[elfin wagon]

especially since ideally it would be like low grade gear and you are trying to loot to get high grade gear like gold rarity and stuff that has special effects and things

[narrow seal]

How long is the timer? I think the one in Contractors Exfilzone was reasonable, 45 mins. If you’re good at the game, can reduce the timer later with hideout upgrades + mitigate that timer by lasting longer on your scav runs. But also depends on when it drops you in for scav runs

If you get dropped in with 30 mins left in the raid you’re good to go and just need to survive

[mellow harbor]

You can always dial up PVE difficulty

[tender vine]

did someone get a key since 20th?

[narrow seal]

Oh that’s a good question. If nobody else has since then, that means I’ve got a chance still

[elfin wagon]

idk its been about 2 years since i last played tarkov but it was like only every 15 minutes minimum and a raid is usually 5-10 minutes if you dont want to stick around and die

or was it more like 20 mintues

[deep oak]

Key check 🙂

[glass finch]

Are they sending keys now?

[deep oak]

No key 😪

[narrow seal]

They likely got it balanced around keeping players addicted, so makes sense on those timers

[elfin wagon]

also hot take:
fun pvp doesnt reside in realism.. it comes when you have a struggle but you can then overcome said struggle mid fight

[narrow seal]

That isn’t even a hot take

[deep oak]

Me personally, the realism of games is what makes it fun, I can get immersed easier. But any good game has a sense of challenge

[hexed summit]

do you know how many players got invited so far?

[mellow harbor]

Fun PVP to me is just balanced fights that allow me to out play my opposition.

[elfin wagon]

personally i can get immersed into anything as long as they actually put the work to make you feel like you are in that world

[narrow seal]

I wonder how much hardware plays a role on their invite waves. I know the game isn’t horribly high on spec requirements but I’m very curious where it puts people in consideration. They’re unlikely to only invite folks with top end hardware

[vocal flint]

This^^

[elfin wagon]

yeah in that case:
the struggle being an enemy is damaging you... you can either use an ace up your sleeve and damage them a ton or run for cover and heal really quick before getting back into the figtht this time initiating it

[narrow seal]

I can’t. This is going to sound horrible depending on how folks choose to take it but I can’t get immersed playing female characters. It’s not for a lack of liking women, etc. I just can’t fill the role

[elfin wagon]

i assume i was chosen because i have a low end rtx graphics card being an rtx 2060

[narrow seal]

They wanna get that tasty feedback on their optimization levels 😫

[marble crown]

[elfin wagon]

yeah makes sense
i consider myself pretty androgynous so i kinda dont focus on the gender at all of a character in a video game i play as and i think of it as more just me but feminine or me but masculine

[deep oak]

For me.. yea I enjoy Tarkov medical system at times (at others times I don’t and feel like it’s overdone) for others they just don’t like the game or features and that’s okay.

[narrow seal]

Not being able to relate, definitely plays a factor in that for me. I’m glad you put it like that since it’s rather on the nose about how I feel as well

[elfin wagon]

yeah it makes total sense to me why that would ruin immersion

[narrow seal]

Me saying that could be interpreted poorly though and im pretty bad at putting my thoughts into writing usually

I don’t wanna become anybodies enemy unless it’s in the game

[dry flint]

You wanna feel like your you? (Im assuming your a guy)

[elfin wagon]

yeah idk how you would word it better but overall its basically females usually like and do feminine things while males like and do masculine things

also if in the game you are being refered to using she/her pronouns it can ruin immersion because you usually use he/him pronouns

there is a long list of reasons i can add

[narrow seal]

For sure. But there’s obviously tons of overlap. Like I play dress to impress with my friend Jords just because she likes that game lmao probs wouldn’t otherwise

[elfin wagon]

think about it.. its the future... youre a cybernetic android body... you can keep track of things using waypoints... boom there is your immersion

youre telling me in the future they dont have motion tracking and waypoint systems?

[narrow seal]

It does make sense in game though, I’m sure if enough folks needed reduced ui visuals though they could certainly add options for what you information you want on screen

[ionic sun]

These takes are horrendous

[narrow seal]

Whole point of testing is to gather feedback so I’m sure bungie would appreciate thoughts on it

[ionic sun]

Not completely removing it

[elfin wagon]

yeah this game is meant to focus more on the actual pvp and not the "oh where did that person's bag go" moments

[shut inlet]

hello im back

[radiant pier]

Have they give out the alpha keys already?

[opal whale]

[narrow seal]

I’m sure as well that they’ll be reading most, if not all feedback once the test starts. Since it’s easier to manage when it’s invite only, they’ll likely be able to read/ address most things

[shut inlet]

[elfin wagon]

yes but check your email for access every so often since they will send out more over time

[vital gale]

no more keys, I ate them

[radiant pier]

Alright

[narrow seal]

I’m gonna need to learn to practice witchcraft and spell casting to commune with demons, just to get an invite 😩

[radiant pier]

Don’t

[zinc pilot]

let it go bro

[narrow seal]

Gonna have to sell my soul just for a chance to lose every single match in game

[vital gale]

too late, they in my belleh

[elfin wagon]

how many people do you think went to #🐛alpha_access and only typed /alpha without clicking the link thinking that was all they had to do and not actually reading the message the bot sent them?

[narrow seal]

True. I should. But, I’m hype for the game

hello again cult

does anyone in the chat rn have access? and if so how is the maneuverability with glitch’s microjets

[vital gale]

hola soy culta

game is DOA as soon as it’s released watch

tbh tho if you cant read messages maybe joining a closed alpha isnt for you

[shut inlet]

HOLA CULTA
SOY SPÃRSTÍ

[shut inlet]

you make a good point sir

[radiant pier]

You don’t

[elfin wagon]

doubt

[vital gale]

if one couldn’t read, how does one survive in a extraction game

[red bone]

[narrow seal]

Unlikely, lot of d2 players will stick around just for the gunplay. I wouldn’t doubt it having less players due to being an extraction shooter, but I can’t see the game failing, since it’s bungie

[vital gale]

don’t wha

[shut inlet]

if one couldn't read, how does one enter the discord in the first place

[elfin wagon]

facts

[elfin wagon]

you would be surprised

[vital gale]

one simply dies going to a dead zone rather than a safe zone cuz they couldn’t read a sign saying “minefield”

[cobalt hemlock]

It’s an extraction shooter, tarkov, arena and delta force already rule that space. It looks like reskinned destiny 2, and I wonder how much AI they’ve used to make the game

[vagrant mirage]

TIL that my VHS tapes can get messed up if I set them up on top of my CRT TV

[near spruce]

In a discord with 300,000+ people excited to play the game
"Hur durr dead on arrival LAWL"
????

[elfin wagon]

ok and you joined the server just to complain about the game?

[cobalt hemlock]

If it’s good and doesn’t die then that’s great. But looking at the state of destiny I cant really have high hopes. Even though I was extremely hyped when the first trailer came out

[shut inlet]

@near spruce love your pfp and background

[jolly pagoda]

no one has heard of those games

[umbral holly]

i dont understand the hate for extraction shooters i personally really like them

[vagrant mirage]

dont drop out of school folks

[shut inlet]

too late

[narrow seal]

You just sticking around for negativity then? Who knows, you yourself might end up enjoying the game. Can’t really say unless you get to try it before launch. Thinks there’s also supposed to be to be an open beta around August?

[elfin wagon]

first off its 2 different teams that work on destiny and marathon... 1 game doesnt manage the other in any way

[cobalt hemlock]

Zero hate for extraction shooters actually. I play tarkov and delta force and enjoy them. I just can’t see this game lasting at all personally

[covert jay]

Tarkov is pretty popular tbh but that's it lol

[vital gale]

hes prolly one of those people who hates marathon just cuz bungie shifted their attention to marathon

[near spruce]

You're right it's probably rage bait imma disengage lol

[jolly pagoda]

wait is that that game with dr disrespect loot in it?

[near spruce]

Thank youuu! I like yours too!! 💚

[umbral holly]

i guess we just have to wait and see. my only complaint is the choice of heroes over classes

[vital gale]

yea kinda is although a lil mixed for some people including me even tho I played it

[cobalt hemlock]

I have a huge fondness for the original marathon actually

[covert jay]

I'm pretty sure
I'm sure there's a clip where his gun jams

[vagrant mirage]

its also just their opinion, weirdo behavior to share it like that in a marathon discord, but its still an opinion

[silver falcon]

Sadly I'm from France, so I can't access to the alpha T-T

[shut inlet]

guys lets instead direct all of our hate to me instead ill take one for the team

[covert jay]

Don't quote me on that I barely touch the game

[trim zinc]

U can but u would just be on like 100 ping

[torpid jolt]

Guys let’s direct all your hate towards me I’m not cool enough for alpha access 🤗

[vital gale]

Oh yea there’s a red armor vest

[elfin wagon]

like yes destiny and marathon are both made by bungie
but each game has its own game director and team below that working to make the game
all it is they have the same developer company name and use the same tools like game engines and things

[shut inlet]

:(

[narrow seal]

Nah. Can’t let you get too powerful bro 😤

[torpid jolt]

You ain’t never heard of rizz cat?

[umbral holly]

someone charge my phone remotely please

[void ivy]

on it

[vital gale]

fr weirdo behaviour lmao, they have to go all the way to marathon server to complain when they can just look away/ignore the game

[vagrant mirage]

Im a Halo old head and I went through the Destiny change and it went pretty alright, Im excited for a new IP now

[near spruce]

God I love when someone comes in and says some dumb shit and the entire discord incinerates them. Hope for Marathon restored 🥹

[torpid jolt]

Yes but you won’t be allowed to buy another monitor until alpha is over

[elfin wagon]

this cat will take more battery from your phone right now

[zinc pilot]

hope this won’t end as concord 2.0

[cobalt hemlock]

weirdo behaviour not quoting me btw. I’m trying to be optimistic but after seeing the train wrecks that came from destiny it’s not hard to think it’ll fail LUL

[vagrant mirage]

probably has no one to talk to about it, discords for that, cant blame em

[vital gale]

honestly I just wanna see if marathon is good and fun enough for me to dedicate to cuz honestly games been a lil boring lately lol

[shut inlet]

wait im so confused why is everyone arguing

[narrow seal]

That’s where I can’t wrap my head around it tbh. Negative discourse and opinions are good, and expected in game servers, but going out of your way to voice that you think/want a game to fail, in a server full of its fans is odd. A big ol cry for attention imo

[queen hemlock]

How do I sign up for alpha

[shut inlet]

#🐛alpha_access

[vital gale]

Frfr

[vagrant mirage]

person giving pessimistic opinion, arguement started

[near spruce]

It's not likely to. Like I said, there's a whole discord full of 300,000-odd people clamoring for a chance to play it. Seems like people are excited enough to at least play it at launch.

[cobalt hemlock]

Also not a cry for attention. As I’ve said. I was hyped, still trying to be optimistic.

I’m assuming a discord server about the game is the place to talk about it lmao

[vital gale]

going into a server saying that it’s gonna fail ain’t optimism

[rancid siren]

I'm so fucking wanting Marathon right now, any other game is complete dogshit to play atm

[elfin wagon]

people saying this is concord 2.0 dont know how game development works...

[vital gale]

Zamn

[vagrant mirage]

I dont think they ever mentioned concord

[narrow seal]

Yeah I just don’t think you’re approaching it the right way if you wanna discuss a displeasure on anything regarding the game. Calling it DOA ain’t gonna do much here

[torpid jolt]

More like delete windows

[upbeat sonnet]

does anyone know if there is still a chance for those who have not yet obtained the qualification for game testing to do so

[jolly pagoda]

quit crying

[shut inlet]

im just gonna silently slide into general chat 🥸

[rancid siren]

At least Siege is complete dogshit :3

[torpid jolt]

Fr

[vital gale]

bro started switching to optimism right after saying it’s gonna DOA

[cobalt hemlock]

concord 2 is a huge reach, concord was doomed from the first announcement LMAO, at least this game possibly has the chance to be good, or it'll die. either way they're trying to revive a good series i guess

[snow tangle]

everyone who got a code willl be able to invite two friends right? if so where are the extra codes

[elfin wagon]

alpha keys will drop throughout the entire alpha testing period from april 23 to may 4

[fallow bobcat]

Not everyone no.

[vagrant mirage]

@cobalt hemlock you are complaining people dont like your opinion, the Alpha is coming tomorrow, people are hyped.

Your opinion is valid but its such a bad timing

[oak zinc]

Join MIDA

[torpid jolt]

Y’all are getting codes 🤨

[cobalt hemlock]

hxh is overrated, still one of the great shonen series, valid opinion.

[deep oak]

Fingers crossed I can make it to the alpha

[terse thistle]

anyone got picked for a code?

[upbeat sonnet]

Thank you

[exotic beacon]

what does a man got to do to get an alpha key

[terse thistle]

the code is a myth or for streamers only

[fallow bobcat]

If not, there will be other tests

[torpid jolt]

Pay 1 mil to Bungie

[vagrant mirage]

I have code

[deep oak]

Must be big streamers then lmao

[terse thistle]

nice duuude

[narrow seal]

It’ll likely be done in game, to avoid mismanagement of codes and folks trying to sell access to it for profit

[vital gale]

man there is a lot of people asking for alpha codes

[terse thistle]

no shit kustegov

[exotic beacon]

Who needs a big fps gamer

[deep oak]

Everyone wants to see how it feels ofc

[torpid jolt]

Bye y’all nice yapping with ya back to work

[elfin wagon]

its bungie trying to move away from pve which they have been doing for the past 10 years to go back to pvp like in halo and stuff
and before yo usay they are cooked because of that... they do have pve in in this game too ontop of the pvp

[cobalt hemlock]

like geuinely, i hope it's good and can compete with the other extraction shooters, a game in this style with that gameplay would be nice. and i'm not really fussed if people don't like my opinion, but i do hope the alpha is fun and bungie actually listens to the community instead of causing another destiny 2 trainwreck

[vagrant mirage]

so straight?

[vital gale]

yus

[terse thistle]

i feeel like they should give codes to destiny loyalist

[cobalt hemlock]

if they can move back to core pvp then that's good imo.

[terse thistle]

another slap in the face from bungoooooooooooooooo

[deep oak]

Never played destiny tbh

[terse thistle]

it was a good time but on to new horizons friend

[narrow seal]

On that note, I’m very interested to see how the pve is. Hopefully there’s enough diversity in encounters and content and it steers clear of being too similar to d2 in how ai behaves

[elfin wagon]

well its clear they are listening to feedback

they literally have a feedback forum in this discord and they also mention that they want to hear your feedback about the alpha even if you are a player and you only watch people play

[terse thistle]

i love extraction shooters, and i love destiny pvp. im the demographic they lookin for, give me my damn code

[vagrant mirage]

I will give the best feedback I can during the Alpha, been playing these Bungie games since 01

[vital gale]

I’ll watch the vids if any released

[narrow seal]

Gonna have to get in line and pray to the almighty worm

[cobalt hemlock]

see i wanna believe they'll listen to feedback instead of pulling a d2

[deep oak]

I’ll cheer from the back goodnight everyone

[terse thistle]

ill put salt on that damn worm

GN bro

[vital gale]

hey pass the salt I need them seasoned

[narrow seal]

Sacrilege 😩

[distant adder]

is there gonna be any more sendouts till the release tomorrow? or is the first wave already secured

[terse thistle]

good question nunu

[river warren]

Does anyone have an extra code? I’m trying to make videos on the game.

[elfin wagon]

yeah i mean the issue with destiny 2 is the team hasnt really actually had places for feedback to flow in and they have a super wide range of audiences to cover while also have a SUPER huge game with countless systems and stuff that could break at any change made

[vital gale]

if this is the first wave, I’m hoping the second is expanded towards Asia

[thin kettle]

i love cyberbingus

[vital gale]

hungy….

[narrow seal]

Nobody has invite codes. It’s most likely going to be handled in game.

[pearl mural]

has it been confirmed that he alpha is only picking people that live in America?

[manic bridge]

Do not eat the sacred worm

[cobalt hemlock]

they've had numerous places for feedback to flow in. i agree you can't please everyone but they stopped trying tbh

[tender bough]

the other issue being that the Destiny community has a lot of people who provide awful feedback that would make the game worse if they tried to implement it

[narrow seal]

The most obvious reason is so folks don’t run to gray market sites to sell off invite codes.

[elfin wagon]

marathon is still in its baby stage so its a smaller game overall by far

[minor seal]

America and Canada from what the survey says

[vital gale]

It’s too late, it’s in my belleh

[thin kettle]

how will the codes be sent out? discord?

[terse thistle]

i was just bouta offer money for a code

[minor seal]

Email I presume

[oak quarry]

Yes

[narrow seal]

Alpha invites are email. Friend invites though are tba as far as we’re aware

[tender bough]

got someone in another server who got a code in their e-mail

[terse thistle]

Ima carry the hell out of ya if we match up

[manic bridge]

You will revive an Email saying you jave been selected for The Alpha, with the codes located on the Bungie sight.

[elfin wagon]

yeah true
the game is perfect for long time players that play frequently
but the issue is new players and players that dont keep up as much fall out and have the worst experience possible

[thin kettle]

do they get your email from here cuz I thought you signed up for the alpha by joining this server

[cobalt hemlock]

imo bungie needs a redemption arc, they need something to bring them back from the abyss lmao, i genuinely hope marathon does that for them

[manic bridge]

No its thru the survey in #🐛alpha_access

[minor seal]

Complete the survey, you will have to put an email in

[thin kettle]

ahhh

but I can't post there ;_; or see anything

[elfin wagon]

i hope so too but yeah keep in mind its entirely different teams working on the different games

[minor seal]

Fingers crossed my 2000+ hours in destiny and several other games me me a viable alpha player

[manic bridge]

Do "/Alpha"

[thin kettle]

omg I'm dumb

[cobalt hemlock]

i'll try to be more of an optimist then, the pink cat thing in the trailer is cute as shit tho i cant lie

[tender bough]

which is something they're currently working on. Edge of Fate has a handful of systems and changes explicitly designed to help the new player experience. it's always gonna be a little opaque (literally every MMO struggles with new player introduction) but they are adding new systems

[gray topaz]

Still no beta invite 😭 how rare are they

[vital gale]

if they have progress wipes I think it makes it more fair even for new players cuz everyone would be on the same level

[manic bridge]

Uh roughly 10% of the server has gotten in, less

[tender bough]

from what I've heard of the gameplay, being geared doesn't make you immune to getting ganked, so even if a new player joins late in a season when everyone else is geared they probably still have a shot at doing well

[minor seal]

Bungie give me an alpha code and my life is yours

[manic bridge]

Im an E-Gorl?!

[elfin wagon]

yeah i hear it currently wont be in the game directly but maybe it might make an appearance

honestly bungie missing out on that i think my first feedback would be i need a pink cat that follows me around or something

[onyx swift]

🫃

[minor seal]

I’ll be whatever bungie wants me to be

[zinc pilot]

so glad i put myself as trans ngl

[tender bough]

and then there's what a lot of the content creators have been saying- that you can avoid fights and sort of rat your way to success by being careful and having good map awareness

[terse thistle]

spread it, the wallet it mean, thats what they want

[minor seal]

I have little money but I will play as much gambit as they want me to

[manic bridge]

I haven't spent a LICK on bungie games.

[elfin wagon]

people are down bad for bungie... is this how the world ends?

[terse thistle]

heely bouta carry the gambit population

[manic bridge]

Its like the good ol days

[narrow seal]

Nothing wrong with skepticism, but an open mind is key 😁

[tender bough]

means that even if you're in a match with a ton of overgeared sweatlords, as long as they're not sweeping the map to annihilate all life (which isn't really the best way to get gear anyways, so I'm not sure why they'd do that?) you're probably fine

[minor seal]

Give me hours, and it’ll be done

[tender bough]

concord was doomed from the start lol. boring character designs, basically zero marketing, and the worst ludonarrative dissonance I've ever seen in a video game

[minor seal]

I will single handedly become John Gambit

[cobalt hemlock]

eco and rat runs will be king in marathon tbh, best counter to chad sweatlords is to just not go near them LUL

[tender bough]

can't shoot what you never find

[terse thistle]

im the chad sweatlord ill take care of you baby

[hushed tiger]

[narrow seal]

Ngl that game woulda popped off if all the characters, both male and female, were more attractive. The gunplay was actually pretty good, but nobody wanted to be ugly characters for no reason

[elfin wagon]

i didnt even hear of concord until asmongold mentioned it

like genuinely worst marketing ever

[manic bridge]

Truly the worst blessong

[terse thistle]

watching the trainwreck of concord through youtube was so entertaining

[tender bough]

it's one of the reasons why, despite me not liking PvP much, I'm actually looking forward to Marathon. I wanna rat around, explore maps, find cool stuff, get in gunfights with the UESC.

[jolly pagoda]

ewwww u watch asmongold

[cobalt hemlock]

quadruple cheeked up token black lady, weird alien man etc. the gunplay looked alright though

[rustic mist]

is there a confirmation to tell me that i signed up for the alpha?

[terse thistle]

just like watching the snow white shit show unfold

[minor seal]

asmongold
Do you enjoy burning your eyes

[elfin wagon]

i watched to see how badly he trashtalked the game

im not a frequent viewer of his by any means

[terse thistle]

theres something that tickles an itch watching people fail

[narrow seal]

Same. Only mf that remains genuinely neutral, nowadays

[jolly pagoda]

i know u smell

[manic bridge]

What

[terse thistle]

moonglade is actually an avid amouranth viewer

[vague crag]

don’t forget the insane amount of money wasted

[tender bough]

I found Concord fascinating because it was this giant property with a ton of effort put behind it and shockingly solid fundamentals that completely fumbled every element except the gun feel. It's this weird anomaly where so many people invested so much into it, genuinely skilled people who knew what they were doing, and it failed harder than any game I've ever seen

[narrow seal]

Not at all, don’t gotta agree with his lifestyle or be like him, to engage in content

[jolly pagoda]

clean your room

[narrow seal]

It is lmao. I can just send pics. Not everybody on YouTube is chronically online lol

[gaunt quail]

If i haven’t gotten a Code for play test dose that mean i won’t get one this go around?

[terse thistle]

he could just pay consuella $100 bucks to clean his space, he just built musty

[minor seal]

There will probably be several waves of codes

[narrow seal]

Weird take, for you to have brother. Couldn’t imagine thinking watching a creator means someone is like that creator

[manic bridge]

There will be multiple waves, hold out hope runner

[gilded thunder]

WHERE CAN I GET A KEY I NEED KEY

[minor seal]

Pray

[terse thistle]

how bad you want it dizzer

[manic bridge]

Sign up like everyone

[elfin wagon]

bro wasnt neutral when it came to marathon

clearly took the side of bad game and made up reasons why it is bad just from the looks of the trailers he watched without even internalizing the info that was presented

[gilded thunder]

Where do I sign up

[minor seal]

#🐛alpha_access

[manic bridge]

#🐛alpha_access, type "/Alpha"

[gaunt quail]

❤️

[jolly pagoda]

he isnt human

[gilded thunder]

Or cockroaches as asmongold bugs

[gaunt quail]

❤️

[terse thistle]

i love how committed nero is to the marathon aesthetic, respec

[gilded thunder]

"/Alpha"

[narrow seal]

True, but most of the time he is. I also don’t watch him religiously like other bro assumed. When I got time to be on YouTube I check out some of his content lol

[elfin wagon]

like i watch asmongold just to see what his viewers will now think because he said said thing

[manic bridge]

This is the Way

[terse thistle]

even if they didnt choose nero, nero chose them

[minor seal]

Don’t say that! Cockroaches don’t need an even worse rep

[terse thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/hunter-x-hunter-gif-26279223

[manic bridge]

No ya i fell in love with this artstyle. Its why im here tbh. Ima be ass at gunplay 😭

[normal hill]

How many people are in the alpha channel I don’t have access to?

[minor seal]

Asmongold

[gaunt quail]

I’m hyped to give this game a try having over 4000 Hours in other extraction shooters

[terse thistle]

add me ill carry nero

[manic bridge]

30k i belive

[trail dirge]

codes going out daily?

[minor seal]

When hell freezes over

[jolly pagoda]

maybe if he gets banned for being racist again

[manic bridge]

Unknown

[terse thistle]

his hair look greasy

[reef bridge]

Got a code, hope my friend will get one too.

[terse thistle]

nice duuud

[elfin wagon]

can say some of the content is good from what ive seen but overall he just isnt my type of entertainment... sometimes its something interesting but usually its just something im not interested in

to me he strikes me as a react content creator that just reacts to things and because he reacts a certain way his viewers are driven to react the same way

[minor seal]

Loud incorrect buzzer noise

[terse thistle]

im just ready to take yall loot

[narrow seal]

If he’s racist, that’s not my problem and nor does it have anything to do with me brother, I just watch his videos on occassion, yall the ones with intense feelings over content creators

[trail dirge]

i watch asmonbald and i am hyped for marathon man is hatin

[mental hemlock]

Game seems live early

[terse thistle]

ill let nero walk though, nero an rper

[jolly pagoda]

dont call me brother

[elfin wagon]

can say you will have a live bounty above your head if you are an asmongold viewer and you play marathon

[brazen galleon]

guys can anyone on Xbox who has the alpha check if u can play it? some people are playing rn

[terse thistle]

[trail dirge]

[minor seal]

[mental hemlock]

[terse thistle]

[elfin wagon]

im also not good at reading and timing fast things... i struggle on medium difficulty of any rythm game no matter what

[mortal mural]

I’ll be watching you play the alpha and cry in the bathroom

[terse thistle]

[elfin wagon]

[terse thistle]

[elfin wagon]

[terse thistle]

he was bad energy off the jump

[wispy fossil]

You can’t say the F word in this server, for a game about killing other players. How does that make sense?

[mortal mural]

Maybe you will in game chat

[trail dirge]
