new-noise

[grim flare]

Huh

@grok what does this mean

[valid spade]

it is good for your brain to learn a language

[crystal lynx]

ya

[valid spade]

i did a few years of german in high school, majored in japanese in university, and as a hobby learned a little french and am currently working on norwegian

and for the record, machine translation is still quite a ways off, enough to inhibit understanding in a conversation

[spice shell]

I’ve been trying to learn my native language, but it’s hard and I don’t have the time to really invest in it.

[crystal lynx]

what abt italian

[reef gazelle]

it's tough to learn something as complicated as a language without either stability or a lot of practical chances to use it

[crystal lynx]

wait say smthng in german

[valid spade]

genq do you mean a heritage language because in a linguistic sense native is what you have spoken since birth

well not since birth, you know what i mean

[spice shell]

In this instance native means “Native American” since I am Chickasaw.

[reef gazelle]

cool

[valid spade]

oh yeah indigenous languages in the americas can get really complicated if you're not a native speaker

[valid spade]

i'll be honest i hardly remember much of it, a lot got overwritten with japanese but uhh

der fernsehapperat ist wieder kaput!
(the tv is broken again!)

[grim flare]

Languages are very hard to learn when you don’t surround yourself with the language u are learning

[reef gazelle]

I just wanna learn another so I can make more friends outside the Anglosphere and read untranslated stuff etc

[reef gazelle]

which is tough when you can't leave your shitass monolingual country

[reef gazelle]

I used to know a little bit of German '-`

[valid spade]

i would like to have the courage and confidence to go to abroad vrchat instances to practice languages, but it's hard enough to have the courage to join and speak in a local instance of strangers

[reef gazelle]

yeah I used vrchat to silently look around at stuff lol

basically as a really slow janky vr model viewer rather than a social game

[valid spade]

i might be able to fumble my way in a japanese instance but i'm very far off from a norwegian instance

[reef gazelle]

I used it for it's intended purpose literally once I think

[valid spade]

i used it a few times, mostly during pride month because what's more gay and trans than hopping in vrchat

but also when interacting with people who were already friends of mine, which is much easier

[reef gazelle]

yeah I used it to hang out with one buddy once. I might try and do it more if I ever get a comfortable and non-damaged headset lol

[coral frigate]

whatehere goineer

[reef gazelle]

huh

[coral frigate]

im here to just say hi and mine the sun

[reef gazelle]

Anyone else's alpha code "already redeemed"?

[spice shell]

This is news to me

[terse thicket]

Butane can I be mini mod

[crude quarry]

Guys my thing says closed technical test on steam guys does that mean I’m hecking in 🤯

[terse thicket]

Due to an issue, Atrium will be personally executed October 10th 8 PM PDT.

[sharp veldt]

Hello 🙏

[loud tapir]

It’s nice here. No grifters around this chat yet

[frosty saddle]

[hot quartz]

Haven’t been in here for a while is it getting better with the delay?

[terse thicket]

im grifting it

[low fulcrum]

stop that ew

[oblique dome]

check it out I'm in the house like John Bungie/Flounder/Carpit/Clocks08

[cosmic adder]

Has any official music been released yet

[terse thicket]

Yes

[cosmic adder]

Sorry, I should have phrased better: any new OST been released since the AR stuff found half a year ago? That old stuff slaps was hoping some newer stuff had come out since then

[thorny olive]

new menu music i believe

[cosmic adder]

I'll have to look for it, ty!

[terse thicket]

I’ll never tell

[sullen surge]

Only on YouTube, I think.

[cosmic adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4F4V-wJ_J8

if this is it, it slaps

[thorny olive]

yeah

[sullen surge]

Opening my Spotify every day to NO new OST drops from Ryan Lott/Son Lux is killing me inside. 🥲

[cosmic adder]

The tone of the music and the artstyle from the first promo and the CGI announcement are peak. The unsettling synths against the humming bass against the flittering of high electronic sounds. Truly feels like a conciousness asleep inside a box on a space station. Fantastic.

[sullen surge]

Maybe this might satisfy your musical taste while we wait for the real thing to drop on our go-to music apps...

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4uBhXmv08grvxeCBghaLtY?si=1cE6dWTdSjuFDDYu5RfN7Q&pi=RNV4qaVlRrSdx

added ty! Been listening to the Arc Raiders theme and the Cyberpunk OST to get me in that mood, but I really like how industrial the sounds of the Marathon OST are in comparison. Excited to check this playlist out

[crystal lynx]

cute

[sour totem]

lol

[crystal lynx]

I WAS WATCHING THIS VID AND THE GUY SAID "HORSE JOCKEY" 💀 💀

[placid storm]

NO WAY 😂😭😂

[sour totem]

is there an NDA for the technical play test?\

[sullen surge]

yes

[muted ivy]

weiner

[terse thicket]

Due to an issue, Orzi is no longer able to hear the word Jockey without immediately thinking of the fucking minecraft movie.

[steep solstice]

how does that work

[austere delta]

Some dude needed cpr on my campus and there was a big crowd around him and so someone shouted out “chicken jockey”

Was funny Ngl

[severe raptor]

Only Bungie leadership team does.

[severe raptor]

Asking about NDA is like asking what's the first rule of the fight club.

[terse thicket]

69%.

[worthy sigil]

67%*

I wonder... Could I play Marathon on Meta's Ray Ban Display glasses?

I know I could run doom on it that's for sure 😂

[amber eagle]

[robust tartan]

Woohoo! got the closed technical test in my steam library! cant wait!

[deft cloak]

same, today's a good day

[robust tartan]

it sure is!

[deft cloak]

i bought that subway builder game rn and i found out i have access to the marathon tech test

[rustic widget]

Hi

[round gazelle]

Hello

[bright heron]

Same, I'm excited to see the progression from the initial closed alpha

[deft cloak]

i was in the very first alpha playtest but I never got in for any of the other ones. I thought I gave pretty good feedback too :[ but now we're so back

[robust tartan]

same here, glad to be back

[supple hull]

im excited to see what progress and dev work has been done. very cool to see i got access (i think?)

[full ermine]

PLEASE LET ME PLAY THE TEST IM BEGGING PLEASE

[formal shore]

Is there a way to understand if I’m being considered for the closed tech test beside the Steam placeholder? Like an access to a specific discord channel or so. Unfortunately I haven’t had access to the alpha

[frosty laurel]

Hey I heard signing up for playtest doesn’t work on phones is this real

[deft cloak]

I think you've gotta wait for an email, I think the only reason some of us got confirmation earlier was to clear up confusion around the steam app changing

[spice shell]

People have had success on mobile browsers.

[valid spade]

yeah i did it on mobile

[rancid lava]

Do you know what you should expect to see if you complete the survey, close the tab, and return to the link and sign back in? On mobile it shows me the start of the survey again, but on desktop it shows me an empty box where the survey would be

When I tested that today I got more confused about if my survey went through, I already submitted it twice (on mobile) and I’m worried either it didn’t work or I screwed myself by resubmitting it

I really want to give feedback so I appreciate you reading the above yap

[valid spade]

only your most recent submission is counted so you aren't dq'd but that means if first come first serve is any sort of factor that lowers you down the priority list

if the selection criteria is random then like idk it's fine

[robust tartan]

im sure you are fine if u have submitted it once already

[spice shell]

It can do that. Once you complete it you're fine. You won't recieve any email or anything that you completed it.

During the first test I sumbmitted mine twice and it was fine.

[tropic seal]

i really wan to play it, bungie take my money lol, i have faith in this project.

[exotic wing]

The previous test was definitely not first come first serve, too

[tropic seal]

cant wait

[mild jolt]

Huh? I thought they were rolling it out on the 22nd

Did you… read it

The FAQ still says they’re rolling it out on the 22nd

That message doesn’t say the new rollout time is the 13th

(It’s the 9th rn btw)

It says signups open on the 13th

Thank you tabescent

[hollow cloak]

Greetings. New potential runner here.
Incoming query: While Marathon is playable for PC, will it be possible to attempt participating the upcoming Technical Playtest using Steam Deck?
Context: The query was formulated && deposited due to previous software [Destiny 2] no longer being available/Allowed for steam deck users.
Incoming apologies: I could not find a place explicitly suitable to ask this previous query. Investigation on Bungie.net's FAQ did not yield conclusive results.

[mild jolt]

Jesus

[meager hemlock]

Probably not

I don't know why you're messaging like that

[compact violet]

Don't think so cuz it uses linux

[hollow cloak]

Just trying to get in the mood of Marathon for fun. Sorry.

[meager hemlock]

Nah you're chillin, rp isn't as common anymore sadly

but we cool so shouldnt be a problem fr

[mild jolt]

ME if I don’t get into the October play test lol

In fact actually it comes out in a couple days doesn’t it

[grim flare]

arc raiders comes out the 30th the beta for it is the 17th

[untold cedar]

Its open beta anyone can play

[mild jolt]

Waiders or marathon ?

[untold cedar]

Oh waiders

I wanted marathon to be larger scaled maps and such, the pacing was weird and too much bs happening

Don't like hero shooter mechanics in an extraction tbh

[mild jolt]

I literally will be happy as long as there’s full customization

[thorny olive]

I second this

[mild jolt]

This yeah I’m so tired of hero shooters I don’t care let me pick my playstyle AND my guy

[untold cedar]

Yup why Arc is bwetter

[crystal lynx]

fortnite is better bc it has wednesday addams

[loud tapir]

I wish arc raiders had more substance

[placid storm]

needs more ketchup fr

[oblique dome]

I haven't played a hero shooter since 2017

[loud tapir]

Calling Marathon a hero shooter is like calling Titan fall a COD game

[valid spade]

that feels disingenuous given hero shooter is very "has heroes or doesn't"

[grim flare]

Hero shooter is a pretty broad term

[compact violet]

how broad...

[grim flare]

Any fps with character abilities would qualify as a hero shooter imo

[compact violet]

relax

[rocky current]

Not in rocket league tho so eeeh

[compact violet]

why did u actually delete it 💔

[grim flare]

Now Neeyth feels bad

Smh

[rocky current]

Don't delete it 🙁

[dry flint]

Definitely more going on than marathon lol. And no one has seen the full product yet. The first playest (still under NDA) compared to the second is night and day. And lets not mention atleast two maps, a pletheral of more items, guns, and arc robots that where taken out for these playtests until the real release.

[compact violet]

I feel like the broad gaming community sees hero shooters as characters who say voice quips and has a theme for themselves

Though any character with abilities would, be a hero shooter/operator

But I think when people say hero shooter they mean the cringy quip type shooters and not stuff like siege or something #idk

[grim flare]

I never took hero shooter as literal hero/shooter but maybe it is idk

[valid spade]

i'd classify siege as a tactical hero shooter easily

[compact violet]

I took it as any character with abilities and a theme around them

[steep solstice]

I'd like to see an antihero shooter

[compact violet]

so no abilities then ❓

[valid spade]

doom (1993)

[compact violet]

or, no characters, ur just a floating gun 🤫

[steep solstice]

Idk somebody else figure it out

[placid storm]

OW is the only hero shooter i enjoy

[wise fox]

Didn't over watch have...allegations.

[placid storm]

the who farted allegations

[rocky current]

Sniff sniff

[loud tapir]

Arc raiders is literally just great design with no content

Looks great, sounds great, and plays great but there’s nothing below the surface

[nova geyser]

I’m pretty hyped for both games

I think they’ll be great additions to the emerging cyber grunge genre that’s picking up speed

[muted lake]

"this game has fantastic design, great sound, and phenomenal gameplay, but nothing else going for it"

[loud tapir]

I said it plays great not that it has great game play

[muted lake]

how much of the playtest did you play?

[loud tapir]

Doesn’t matter how good a game looks if there is no gameplay loop to come back to

[loud tapir]

The entire open beta

[muted lake]

the gameplay loop is actually pretty solid compared to most extraction shooters imo. The robots add an incredibly unique challenge most extraction shooters are just lacking. It was especially fun when the quests specifically asked you to hunt down certain robots and return their parts

for an alpha playtest I thought it had far more content than marathon's playtest

and the reviews of both kind of speak for themselves...
excited for marathon. but arc raiders is definitely in the lead here

[loud tapir]

I made it into all the bunkers day one and was already going after the big spider three days in

I have a feeling it’s going to lose most of the player base within a few months

Will more than likely have a dedicated player base but not a big one

[muted lake]

agree to disagree. The playtest reviews were incredibly positive across the board.

You can compare both games but i would say an overwhelming majority of reviews were in arc raiders favor in almost every category. I personally had an incredibly fun time and I think theres a reason its number 16 on steam before even coming out yet

[brisk geyser]

Also do keep in mind that the arc raiders beta was there to test both progression pacing, player interaction, and all that sort of gameplay loop/retention stuff. Which they have given us details on how they have been changing it and adding incentives and the like. I assume we were made to get access to things fairly quickly for the limited time of the test to play with the toys

[light scroll]

wokenes s

[oblique dome]

i have dared like 15 people to name a gameplay mechanic from arc raiders and no one can do it

[low fulcrum]

shooting guns 🤫

[native pond]

im convinced people hate on arc raiders just to be different loll

[oblique dome]

name a gameplay mechanic in arc raiders

[loud tapir]

I’m not hating on it. Never said it was a bad game ether

[native pond]

i havent played arc raiders to know

[oblique dome]

1 just 1 literally anything give me 1 cool unique thing it does that sets it apart from other extract shooters

[native pond]

it has a cool grappling hook i saw a clip of that

[loud tapir]

The secondary extraction sights are actually a nice addition I will say

[oblique dome]

#16!!! THE 16TH PERSON WHO CAN'T DO IT!!!

[native pond]

unique robots that have different behaviours based on what part of them you shoot off

i gave you 2 lol

[oblique dome]

alright now that does sound somewhat interesting

[oblique dome]

sorry i missed the first message until now

[loud tapir]

The robots really don’t act any differently than any other enemy ai in other games

[native pond]

if you shoot off 1 propeller you will see the robot drifting in a specific direction or struggle to move in a certain way depending on which foot is shot, arc raiders has a lot of stuff you just gotta actually look into the features, i never got to play to know tho i only know based on some clips and reactions

is arc raiders the only extraction shooter with robots?

[loud tapir]

The enemies are actually one of the weaker aspects of the game imo

[native pond]

also you can extract while being knocked down, so when you go to the extract point you character will limp and try climb onto the panel to get away its cool stuff in there

https://youtube.com/shorts/lRV19DBjjUw?si=VjsPAqo-mIJGXmvs

[loud tapir]

They ether provide zero threat to you and are a minor nuisance or just one shot you from two miles away no in between

[native pond]

enemies i feel like will always be kinda hard to balance

[muted lake]

lmao same. It's universally loved even before release. I haven't talked to anyone in my personal life who didn't enjoy the playtest

[tough vine]

How do I know if I got in the next technical test? Cause I forgot after some time. I already applied, so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to see lol

[sudden grotto]

@native pondsomething about peanuts and faces i believe

[compact violet]

Emailed on Oct 20, or if you've been in the public non NDA alpha, it'll change to technical test

[tough vine]

Oh, yea guess I’ll be waiting for oct 20

[pulsar tartan]

Who want's to find some artists with me?

[severe raptor]

Hi Butane!

I actually wonder if Marathon would work with Valve Index or Quest 3? That'd be cool..

[keen hemlock]

You technically can take any game and use reshade to render it stereoscopically and feed the pair video out into a generic app that grabs steamvr. Quest absolutely not though. Official support for VR? Also basically not going to happen, I have no inside info or anything, it's just, infinitesimally unlikely they'd add vr support.

[austere delta]

Was typing for like five minutes but I forgot the word stereoscopically and was trying to explain it too lmfao

[stone tinsel]

i’m itching for some new marathon news

[deft cloak]

same

i wonder if they kept the color grading the same. In the first playtest that the foliage/nature assets in the game were pretty much pastel.

that would be fine if everything wasnt already neon in the game, which makes the nature look washed out. im hoping they add some saturation and darker tones to give contrast between nature/human built structures

[keen hemlock]

They did say several times that shader and material and render passes were happening very last

[deft cloak]

tru

[reef hemlock]

when will it be released

[deft cloak]

im just hoping for something of a grittier atmospheric vision

somewhere in 2026

[hexed hound]

game's pretty atmospheric already

I get the gritty part tho but I'll give it benefit of doubt since most of marathon's set on the ship itself and m2 and m.inf's on an entirely non-earth-like planet and a dreamscape

[hazy otter]

well like i signed up for the form so how do they contact me

[dusky verge]

email or through the same link you signed up

[hazy otter]

okay thank you

[dusky verge]

you will also get access to more discord channels

[hazy otter]

theres a playtest access channel but i cant like view it

[dusky verge]

you mean #🐛playtest_access or one of the nda channels

[hazy otter]

yeah the one u linked i am guessing thats not important then

[dusky verge]

so long as you have filled out the form you should be fine

they will let you into the nda channels which no one has access to at the moment if you get in. Good luck!

[hazy otter]

thank you brother

[grave moat]

Will there be a separate channel or voice chat for those who play in playtest to find a party?

[scarlet aspen]

I’m under 18 and got into the closed beta, but I can’t even apply for this new test

Anyone have an idea why they have an age minimum?

[spice shell]

there an nda associated with the new one which requires you to be over 18 to legally sign.

[scarlet aspen]

Oh okay. Thank you

[drifting oriole]

Anyone else sign up for the test, bookmark the page it says to check, and now that page is the registration form again? Have people been getting notifications that they are accepted? Does this mean I didn’t get in?

[twilit nacelle]

@drifting oriole every time I check in, after logging in it says my form has been submitted. I havent received a confirmation and from the wording it sounds like confirmations will go out on and after the 20th (this is my interpretation of the wording on the page. Take this with a grain of salt)

The exact wording is as follows:

Application Received
Your application to the Marathon Closed Technical Test has been received. If you opted in to email communications, you’ll receive an email if you’re selected. Otherwise, bookmark this page to check the status of your application starting October 20. (Note: Participation in previous tests doesn’t guarantee acceptance into the Technical Playtest.)

so seems like at or after the 20th, check those inboxes!

[drifting oriole]

The 20th then

[fluid mortar]

For some reason the forum is letting me apply again even though I already applied, should I reapply or not?

[drifting oriole]

This is what I was referring to, I didn’t reapply.

i think it gets sent via email to yall

[spice jewel]

Ah…I see

[fossil ore]

i think whent he time comes u can go back to the playtest access channel and hit /playtest click the link and itll tell u if u got accepted or not kinda goofy but it wouldnt be a bad idea to request on steam on the 13th as well really make em confused

[manic wolf]

ye 👍

[spice jewel]

Pretty much while you wait

[spice jewel]

Especially if you got in #pt3-nda-general-discussion that’s when you been accepted

[torpid crag]

omg when's the brazil play test 😭

[opaque bay]

I'm sure this has been asked like 20 times in here but I know they said that if your steam name for marathon goes from alpha test to closed technical test you'll get in right but do you have to do anything else to sign up like in the playtest_access channel? Not saying my game name changed or anything just asking for a friend 🧐

[hardy gale]

[ashen sundial]

so if the game in my steam library says closed technical test instead of closed alpha test I'm already in?

[opaque bay]

idk I'm just going off what I read in marathon news

[trim lava]

[ivory fulcrum]

Thanks

[half burrow]

Hi

[frozen wing]

I hope Marathon turns out to be as dynamic and gamer driven (feedback wise) as BF6 😣

[trim lava]

Some bug im sure but you need to be 18 to sign their NDA

[placid mortar]

game will be good if they remove heros and bring back full character customization like they originally planned

[ivory fulcrum]

Yeah sounds like I can't be bothered. I'm too old for the hassle 😂

[valid spade]

obviously recent playtests are under nda so no one can give details but the whisperings say "chin up gamer we're so back"

[placid mortar]

mfs always say that man

look at cod

me when people enjoy something so they say it's good

[spiral canopy]

Gotcha. Thanks buddy

[still fog]

Isn’t just based on the birthday you select in the dropdown?

Or do they also check your bungie account birthday?

[trim lava]

Probably bungie account

[lapis jackal]

yeah your bungie account

[cosmic edge]

My destiny account getting banned makes me feel they trying to push this game wdym a cheater in my squad got ME banned wtf

[hot kraken]

You think they are banning you from Destiny to get you to start playing Marathon?

[placid storm]

high IQ motive

[hot kraken]

If I've understood you correctly, that is so idiotic that I genuinely respect you. Like I want to pat you on the back.

That's going to give me a smirk for a good 15 minutes.

can't get over people bitching that marathon is $40 when I just paid $70 for Battlefield 4 and a Half

[low fulcrum]

70$ straight to saudi arabia 🫡

The only reason I didn’t buy BF6 is cuz I fuckin hate the Saudi’s

i have so many games to finish and then buy still 😭 busy till GTA VI

just took the kind of shower that makes your water bill go up $10 because you just stood there for 20 minutes contemplating your life

just reinstalled RDR2 so i could shoot stuff and not feel left out

[low fulcrum]

was it worth it

[oblique dome]

it needed to be done

[hidden iron]

seriously though. marathon is potentially 40 and that would be a fantastic price with every other game going up in price. looking at you nintendo

[oblique dome]

my brain is doing all the emotional and personal development shit all at once the past couple months that it was supposed to be doing over the course of the past 5-6 years

[oblique dome]

$80 for mario games is circus territory idk how we're letting them get away with this

[midnight citrus]

Nah, they send a squad of armed guards to eliminate you

[stoic egret]

excuse me but the marathon website told me that under 18 cant participate in the playtest... but im 22 yrs old? 💀

bruh what

[tight gulch]

i will buy marathon it is cheaper and i hope it will be a good game

[flint spear]

/playtest

[dire oak]

I got the steam title change to "technical test" and the game says "PURCHASE" instead of "PLAY" now. Just to confirm, does that mean that I will definitely get into the playtest?

[sharp edge]

Skill issue. Guy like me would be 22 years old.

[severe raptor]

What exactly seems to be the problem here?

[nocturne birch]

bro cant read

[real lance]

Did you put the wrong birthday down somewhere?

[frosty depot]

Has anyone gotten an accepted email yet??

[slate bear]

Hi, I signed up for the alpha on October 6th for Steam. I just read on the website that they’ll start sending confirmations from October 12th for Steam, did I understand that correctly, or does that mean they stop accepting people on the 12th?

[acoustic juniper]

How is anyone supposed to know when they’ll stop taking applications for the test?

[frosty depot]

You can sign up until the 16th. I guess the 12th is just the start of acceptance and people will get accepted right up to the test on the 22nd?

[slate bear]

I guess

[frosty depot]

I want my unfinished game now!!

[slate bear]

I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking xd

[slate bear]

😂 X2

[compact violet]

They stop accepting on the 16th

Steam signs ups are the 13th, aka meaning you don't need to go through website, u go through steam

[slate bear]

so the steam users only have 4 days to be accepted

[compact violet]

if they didn't sign up since the 6th, and waited for the steam opt in sign up from steam itself yes

If you already signed up w steam through the play test link your fine, this is just an alt method for those who don't wanna go through discord

[frosty depot]

If my 5k hours on D2 don’t get me in I’m not buying

[slate bear]

I did it from the Discord page, but they still haven’t sent me anything

[compact violet]

Emails not until the ,20th

[slate bear]

Damn, I only have 873,1 hours

[slate bear]

DAMN

[autumn frost]

1k hours myself lol

[slate bear]

Okay, okay, it’s just that I keep hearing people celebrating that they’ve already received it, and it’s confusing me

[compact violet]

Yeah that's due to their playtests from the first public alpha being changed to the technical test

So if that happens to you, you're in if not, wait for a email

And for console users, you get a update, cause I got a update to change mine to technical test, which meant I was in

(you can also check Bungie game code section to see if your previous closed alpha play test code became technical play test, to check as well)

[slate bear]

Okay okay, a billion thanks, really, I was worried ♥️ ♥️

[errant lance]

Where did you get confirmation of that theory?

[compact violet]

#marathon-news they say it here, that if your closed play test changes to technical test you're in and that for console they'll get a update

[acoustic juniper]

But it literally says the opposite

[errant lance]

I didn’t get an update, but It says that in my bungie code. I think this theory is not going to hold up

[compact violet]

for steam users it says they are admitted to the test

[acoustic juniper]

You said console

[errant lance]

It’s the exact same code I had for alpha playtest, just the name says technical

[compact violet]

if it's says technical then you're in cause mines switched to technical, and I was able to update and whatnot (I am on console)

[errant lance]

For PS5

[compact violet]

I was able to login too

[errant lance]

I am not able to update I am on the PlayStation app and the game isn’t even searchable

[acoustic juniper]

Bro read the news, it literally says that doesn’t confirm anything on console

That idea is only relevant for steam

[errant lance]

That’s what I thought

[acoustic juniper]

Neeyth is just lying here for whatever reason

[compact violet]

okay I think I just got accepted then, cuz I was legit able to login

[errant lance]

Oh I see guys if you bungie test went from alpha to technical you’re probably in right

On the bungie site

[compact violet]

that's only applicable for steam I guess, though it was working for me on Xbox im #confused now

[errant lance]

For console players

[errant lance]

They said if you see a title update on the console itself it is just housekeeping. You’re actually right I think still

But if it’s on the bungie website site that you’re now technical that’s different than the console app being update to saying it

[compact violet]

it's best to wait until the 20th for that confirmation email this wording they use confuses me sometimes but they have in very big bold text in #marathon-news (that I somehow missed) that it doesn't guarantee anything

Either that my comprehension level at zero rn 🥀

[spare vortex]

"If you see the "Marathon Closed Alpha Test" replaced by the "Marathon Closed Technical Test" in your Steam library today, this means you will be admitted to the playtest. All players admitted to the playtest will also receive an email confirmation in the future."

"As we continue our preparation for the new limited technical test later this month, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players will receive a title update for the "Marathon Closed Alpha Test", turning it into the "Marathon Closed Technical Test."

"This is only housekeeping and DOES NOT guarantee access to the test."

So for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a title update does not mean anything and you should wait for a email.

[compact violet]

thanks cuz I was spreading misinfo 🐬 #oops

[nocturne birch]

it didnt ask for a birthday lmao, just denied me

[real lance]

not on the survey, but Somewhere.. whatever account you're logged into might be flagged as underage somehow

[topaz vector]

Is there any sort of confirmation if I sign up for the play test? I didn’t see anything and I wanted to make sure I’m actually in the pool.

[real lance]

the best way to see if you're in the pool is... just pee and see if ppl start screaming

[junior zenith]

Not yet unless you got in.

[real lance]

to answer your question though, no. there was no confirmation email or anything.. the page itself should have said something along the lines of "your application is complete" or something

[cosmic adder]

ty for the answer. Between this, Arc Raiders, and a few other titles releasing this month, wanted to check if I had been accepted or not. Looking forward to the test, but there's a lot going on so I'm worried I may miss it if they send codes through emails p late.

[cunning raptor]

Played the old one, saw them mention that if ours had its steam name change we should be accepted(mine is now called Marathon Closed Technical Test). But when I launch it says "Access Denied Your account is not provisioned for Marathon" did I just not get into the next test or is it bugged?

[low fulcrum]

only the ppl that played before know if they get to play everyone else has to wait for email

[silver osprey]

It has to say play then you are in if it says purchase you are not currently in but still can be. Your message is based on what they thought at the time but isnt true

[crystal lynx]

WDYM WHAT AM I SAYING WRONG 😭😭

[cunning raptor]

nothing said purchase so i think we gucci

[silver osprey]

if it doenst say play then you arent in thats what u r looking for play button

[low fulcrum]

anyone can get in

[cunning raptor]

like in steam or ingame? i said i got ingame but it said press any key to continue or w/e and brought up that error

[split cape]

Alright team if anyone kills me in marathon technical test I’m gonna lose it

[dry isle]

SA players can't be invited to play marathon playtest?

[hard moss]

incorrect, it says in the tweet ONLY if your copy was updated to the closed tech test youre in, nothing related to purchase/play

[silver osprey]

thats wrong. that is based off old information. the devs have mentioned this multiple times in the closed alpha channel

[silver osprey]

if it says play you are in for sure if purchase you arent yet

[hard moss]

Going off the public information there is nothing stated, so if that is incorrect information it should be stated or changed. I even doubled check the FAQ which also doesnt mention that

[silver osprey]

@hard moss that is fine im just going off what Devs have been saying in closed alpha channel as of recent. also their repost on twitter follows what im saying regarding consoles and prob just havent updated the PC players properly. The reason is if you never uninstalled the game it changed it automatically to closed technical test. for example my did but they posted saying if it says purchase you are not in and if it says play you are in. Mine says purchase unfortunately others say play

[hard moss]

I did see the console info, but to me that reads very differently than the steam one. Interesting if devs are stating differently, I guess I'll see then

[silver osprey]

yes but it came after too once they realized the mistake probably

[hard moss]

Certainly could be, but still doesnt mention steam 😵 but maybe they're just lumping it in

[silver osprey]

@hard moss they just need to publicly pinn it. do you have acces ot the alpha channel?

[hard moss]

just the playtest access request one

[silver osprey]

@hard moss i highly doubt the dev would be leading us the wrong way especially since his statements as of recent

[limpid mango]

Wait do we hear something today about the test?

[forest mango]

steam applications open

[rapid palm]

It doesn't allow me to request access, its only showing the previous alpha that I was in

[spice chasm]

I wonder how many people will be in this steam test.

[forest mango]

i think if you were already in the alpha you're automatically applied

[rigid robin]

I've applied for access, hope to see yall there if i get in ❤️

[rapid palm]

big if true

[sick beacon]

GL on access everyone <3

[austere delta]

“Play the marathon playtest now!” Hell yeah

[opal whale]

We are so Mpreg rn

[forest mango]

there was smth like that in the actual announcement FAQ i believe

[twilit dew]

That's what it said in the initial announcement about the steam listing's name change, that if it shows the closed technical test in your library you're already approved.

[median hound]

One question about the game, how does it preform with proton?

[rigid robin]

Promise lol

[oak thistle]

Already been selected LETS GOOO

[dusty epoch]

I can play arc raider stress test then play marathon test that is good

[dusty igloo]

Heh

[rapid palm]

life is good

[empty reef]

Good for you 😀 I’m So happy for you 😀

[feral valley]

Have any invite waves came out yet?

[dense sigil]

[normal raft]

hey! was wondering where i can go to get some support! i have marathon in my steam library but dont have access on my bungie account, i cant request access on steam and wondering if ill still be able to participate in the upcoming test?, dont really know where to go to get help with this

[bitter mulch]

[rapid palm]

thank you!

[feral valley]

I have

[remote wadi]

/signup

[opal whale]

mpreg to register ur spot

[bitter mulch]

then u gotta wait

[rapid palm]

read a littl above you to the replies to my messages, we already have access

[normal raft]

i see

[oak thistle]

You'll be the guy i'll invite if they let us

[old sundial]

/playtest

[twilit dew]

I would be so happy if they include at least one or two guest invites when the official notifications go out. It would be nice to bring my regular gaming group along

[opal whale]

/mpreg

[rigid tide]

/mpreg

[normal raft]

i remember the last playtest i had it on steam but no access on my account so i couldnt play even when the test was going on

[empty reef]

Thanks booty king I’ll give you a big fat smooch

[idle crystal]

/mpreg

[bitter mulch]

i wonder if they’re gonna add a crap ton of content for the closed alpha test, it was kinda lacking just a bit for the open one

[trail fiber]

/mpreg

[opal whale]

woah i got a confirmation after /mpreg confirmed

[rigid tide]

They gave me access, guess that means I have to mpreg all of you

[dusty igloo]

Seems like I have access haven’t gotten any emails yet though

[reef vault]

😔

[opal whale]

/mpreg its an arg code they gave us for the nda test

[lilac lodge]

The joke isn’t that funny lil bro

[lilac fern]

Hey guys I have a question for the people here

[civic copper]

😩

[rapid snow]

this might be a dumb question, but is applying through steam better than applying through website

[proud smelt]

Wait I thought confirmation emails wouldn't go out till like Wednesday at the earliest

[thorny olive]

[opal whale]

unless you solved the ARG

[proud smelt]

It's the same application

[civic copper]

I've got the rank so 🤷‍♂️

[twilit dew]

I suspect most people here are trolling, but Bungie did say that if you were in the alpha on Steam and it's still in your library renamed as the Closed Technical Test then you're guaranteed a slot.

[grand fulcrum]

they explicitly said the opposite of that

[twilit dew]

for console they did, for steam they said the opposite

"If you see the "Marathon Closed Alpha Test" replaced by the "Marathon Closed Technical Test" in your Steam library today, this means you will be admitted to the playtest."

[lilac lodge]

That is the case, and most likely no access until tomorrow evening

[civic copper]

oh yeah look at that it was replaced

[lilac fern]

When exactly is the Playtest

[tough ingot]

22nd to 28th i believe

[daring spire]

your automatic applied you have access

[oblique sail]

I wonder who's art they stole this time

[sullen yacht]

if the apply button is missing on the steam page for you because you already have the application, are you autoapplied or do you still have to reapply through the website

[lilac lodge]

Rumors are saying they stole those AI woody songs this time around

[lone sedge]

so if i've already applied through the normal survey i don't need to bother with the steam application

[glossy sage]

[jolly temple]

one question

[static terrace]

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a good day. Do we know when codes will be sent out ? For Private Play test ?

[jolly temple]

yea the name was changed in my steam library

[static terrace]

@silk kayak I have been dying to play the game again 😪

[cold wigeon]

next monday

[jolly temple]

but I deleted the game after. There will be no problems anyway?

To get the code I mean

[static terrace]

@cold wigeon thanks Gang hope you get a code 👨🏻‍💻 too

[twilit dew]

I suspect we're ALL getting new codes in those notification emails they're going to send

so you're probably fine?

[cosmic sinew]

Is this the performance test chat?

[sharp beacon]

The optimist

[jolly temple]

I hope :/

[static terrace]

I know we can’t talk about the last play test but does the game feel different to anyone that has played it ?

Last run I had during the beta was crazy 😭🔥

[rigid robin]

Maybe its made from the skin of the innocent

Id support that bungie w
