Doees anyone know what font is used for the big text on the contracts?

or just general fonts used for promo stuff

wait worng channel myb

[tribal steppe]

There was a tweet that mentioned it

TRAXUS SUPERIORITY

[split wind]

so dac levels are2k per I guess - all us losers below 6k at stuck at dac 2 until the next contract

[marsh raft]

can you still do some of the older ones?

[vocal slate]

And the highest that I know of is 4

[marsh raft]

if so does anyone have the answers for them?

[burnt tinsel]

Im at 6k and at level 4

[vocal slate]

I don’t think from first ARG but the ones that are in contracts page you should be able to

how can you even see your xp total?

There’s 8

But one you can’t do anymore

[surreal geyser]

[calm talon]

but... i did all contracts..

wonder what the dac formula is then

[marsh raft]

does anyone have the answers to the current ones? 0-0

[gray dust]

Where would one acquire their codes-

[heady trellis]

I am at 6250 and DAC level 3??

[vocal slate]

One from yesterday state of play?

[lilac pine]

I think you get docked xp for pace

[calm talon]

yep

[vocal slate]

Mmmm , first ARG?

[calm talon]

OH yeah i did

[surreal geyser]

I'm at 6250 and only level 3

[vocal slate]

Huh, weird

Hey does anyone know roughly what fps the recommended specs on steam are meant for?
also for alpha players, how well optimized did it feel on mid-range pcs?

[vagrant mirage]

its usually 60fps

[brazen gale]

hope iam good. AMD 7 5700X ,32gb ram , RX 7700XT

[daring folio]

Time to buy that rtx5050 lmao

[vagrant mirage]

yea of course thats more than enough 1080p

even 1440p

the game is very cpu intensive like destiny

[fossil ore]

You should be more than fine.

[cursive thunder]

my ass is cooked

[fossil ore]

What are your specs?

[rough stream]

Finally I did all the 7 contracts

[edgy spindle]

[daring folio]

Bungie games tend to be fairly well optimized. Hopefully this remains true with their updated Tiger Engine

[fierce salmon]

I think you should be able to no confirmations but still if the game is even decently optimized it will be fine!

[sullen haven]

who ?

[split wind]

Some destiny opinion head

I really don't get how a collection of special "gamers" with opinions suddenly became gate keepers for what would or would not succeed - Things were so much simpler in the days of Computer Magazines - feedback was sufficiently slow enough to let things bake without massive over reactions by extreme elements

The "internet" has not really improved things ....

[swift vale]

They said the comeback was impossible...

How do you return from this....

Honest to god D2 has been more damaging to his game's rep than Antireal atp

[bleak hearth]

how to we complete the discord contracts?

[fossil ore]

You should be good, most recommended specs are for running at 1080p on high settings at 60fps. In a game like Marathon you should ideally be playing at low or med settings.

[cursive thunder]

oki ty

[rough kayak]

Same question here

[daring folio]

JakeTheAlright has a good video on youtube if you just want to complete your 7 contracts

[slim flint]

doesnt it only show for the first 5 though?

[rough kayak]

Thanks for that!

[uncut shoal]

Should they check or disappear once completed?
Been so long since doing the alpha arc stuff

[daring folio]

Yeah but the other 2 are done with commands which are unique to each person (supposedly)

[shadow radish]

WURM

[daring folio]

Unsure what you're asking. There's currently 7 available contracts listed in #1354446976242028658 . Did all mine and they're there

[uncut shoal]

Gotcha, that answers my question

[daring folio]

You can also check if you've completed them by checking the leaderboard using the /.leaderboard command

there is like reward from completing all contracts ?

[buoyant rain]

Last ARG, top 20 or 50, can't remember, received a t-shirt. For this round, no one is really sure what the end will bring.

[ruby oar]

What was it?

[fossil ore]

Iirc the top 100 on the leaderboard during the first round of contracts got priority alpha codes.

[buoyant rain]

Oh yes, now that you mention that, yup, I forgot that piece

[vast heath]

there's a code at the bottom of the graffiti stickers poi, on outpost, on tauceti.world

but code is so goddamn blurry that i dont know what it is other than it starts with 31

[buoyant rain]

Try this one:

34fb592c-9d0e-499a-9c7b-cfd0b0dc9454

[rough kayak]

how do I check my experience / contracts completed?

[fossil ore]

type /leaderboard

[buoyant rain]

'/leaderboard'

[marsh cloud]

What's the maximum Dac level? 🤔

[vast heath]

okay apparently that's the correct code

how the hell did you figure that out

the code is so small

[buoyant rain]

I know some at the top have DAC 4

[vast heath]

i think i might be blind

[frosty wraith]

any idea what the rewards will be for doing contracts? assuming DAC level won't translate to XP in game

[buoyant rain]

Another Discord I am in had a few folks quickly grab the image and zoomed in. Can't recall their process but they were super speedy at it.

[marsh cloud]

I would assume some kind of emblem based on ytour DAC tier or something

[fossil ore]

On the stickers poi you can use crtl + to zoom in.

[ember musk]

Top 50 might get a T shirt again

[marsh sleet]

Yeah I just went into the channel today and seen the leader board.

How do you guys even know what to look for?

[tidal onyx]

What is a soft shell?

[marsh sleet]

A type of skittle 👀

[fossil ore]

The #1354446976242028658 has hints where to look for the codes.

[tidal onyx]

I will look for u in game 15days lol

[polar crater]

We dont, we have hunches

with the clue "mark the coordinate" we know to look at a map and on that map a specific point will have our info, according to the last line of clues

the last "map" we have is the tau ceti website, so we use that

the latest map shown was outpost, so we go there first

then we click and inspect every item on that map that can be clicked

We noticed there was a grey string of text at the bottom of the graffiti POI video, so we zoomed in and saw the code, voila

[frail sage]

Well it says on the image the "planetary map"

So it's evident it's tau ceti world

[polar crater]

the trick is to not overthink it

figure out what 'the ask' is of the clue and hunt there

basically the clue says look at map and find clue, so thats what we did

[quaint needle]

can someone link me the TCIV website where you can inspect all the colony maps? I forgot what the url is

[marsh sleet]

Cheers mate - I'm a prone overthinker but got a few going now 🥳

[jovial radish]

oh nice

[idle musk]

Man sucks to see all the forced hate

[lost apex]

Who knows how many points to get to level a Dac?

With all 7 contracts I have a level 4 DAC.

[native light]

truly gaming

[polar crater]

We dont know really

[surreal geyser]

How many points do you have?

[polar crater]

Some people have had DAC4 for a while now, some are just hitting it

[lost apex]

5250

[burnt tinsel]

Dang bro, Nice DAC

[surreal geyser]

I have more than you and I'm only 3

[lost apex]

Okay I think then I got it.

Level 1 is 750

Level 2 is an additional 1500 (2250 total)

Level 3 is an additional 3000 (5250 total)

Level 4 is an additional 6000 (11250 total)

[slim flint]

i have 5250 and still at 2

[lost apex]

Huh...

[surreal geyser]

Yea i was 2 at 5250

[slim flint]

could be based off points and placement on leaderboard

[lost apex]

Maybe its 3000 score every level then?

Well im at 7 contract with 5250 score now. The first ARG allowed me to get more score

[surreal geyser]

I think the first one kept your dac level but reset the score

[lost apex]

Yes thats correct.

[slim flint]

Makes sense

[surreal geyser]

So you can't use score to determine level

[lost apex]

I think every level is 1000 x n (n being the level)

Because to make level 4 you need 6000 points. To make level 5 itll be 11,000 points.

[prisma portal]

How do you find how many points you have?

[polar crater]

Edited cause im dumb lol jk

[lost apex]

Since the MIDA DAC (the black one given when shit hit the fan that one time) is level 99 I think we can say you'll need 4,950,000 score to have a max dac

So therefore we can have a shit ton if contracts to level our dac (4950 exact for 1000 score each) to make max rank on our DACs

[polar crater]

I am surprised they didnt add the final contract for 7777

[surreal geyser]

Dac goes up to level 7 most likely

[polar crater]

Last arg was 10 contracts total, so 333/333/111, but oh well

[woeful garden]

!dac

[lost apex]

Yeah thats a bummer

[polar crater]

our solver group has a few top50s from the last arg and they only have L4 dacs

[lost apex]

Fair... so its not a x2 every level. Its exponential

[polar crater]

So IF there is a L5, it is only going to be a select few people out there

[lost apex]

So the leveling is a concave curve than a steady lone

[surreal geyser]

There's not a level 5

[lost apex]

True. But I habnt heard a level 5 person yet.

[polar crater]

Yeah we're in agreement there

[surreal geyser]

19/20 top 20 people are in another discord
The top 6 people have perfect 8k scores and they aren't 5

[lost apex]

And I made 750 all 10 contracts so I should have been level 5 at 12k score. With what I have now I have 12750.

Including these 7 contracts.

[polar crater]

A few of us have been L4 at the beginning of this arg and they havent leveled up

[polar crater]

Holla~~

I was #2 yesterday, but todays contract was tricky

[surreal geyser]

That might mean the old dac level remained but your current contacts aren't effecting it

You might need a total score to progress and not an accumulated score

[lost apex]

I made level 4 with this last contract

[polar crater]

this tracks with how rewards went out last arg

[lost apex]

Thats what im saying

[surreal geyser]

That would be ideal imo because then tons of people would be missing out not having done the first arg

[lost apex]

Im trying to understand the rate it changes level to level so we can predict what it takes to be a level 5 or 6.

[surreal geyser]

And that would be unreasonable to expect many people to have participated back then when the game was very unknown

[wraith vale]

/contract 084b9ab3-3daa-4420-b8fa-3e687a20c2a7

[polar crater]

eh if we get another free t shirt I'll call it a win

the game will come and go, good args are rare

[surreal geyser]

Idc about a t shirt I won't wear

[polar crater]

i mean the free t shirt WAS a worm shirt lol

[surreal geyser]

I still wouldn't wear it

I guess I could cut it out and make a poster

[polar crater]

it's a great gym shirt

[lost apex]

Sekaguchi worm shirt?

[polar crater]

Y, I'll dm you

[surreal geyser]

Yes

[lost apex]

I bought that one. Nice to hear it was just free.

[polar crater]

ah ok youve seen it, some havent

[lost apex]

I have it.

I just had to buy it.

[polar crater]

aahh yea the bot sent out DMs after completing the last contract if you placed well

[dense flare]

I want worm shirt 😭

[lost apex]

Okay how about this.

Level 1 is 750.
Level 2 is 2250.
Level 3 is 5250.
Level 4 is 11250.
Level 5 is 23250.

[polar crater]

we dont know the reward, but play the arg!even if you dont place well you'll likely be able to get the reward at the end

[dense flare]

Anyone know what the /handshake one is? I keep trying but it isn’t working

[polar crater]

yes

[lost apex]

So it every level is X + (750 x n )where n increases double and X is the score required to make the level.

750+(750×2)+(750×4)+(750×8)
+(750×16)

For level 5

[sleek mural]

anyone have lvl 5 dac?

[polar crater]

i mean sound but that means L5 is impossible, max points from April iirc was 10k, assuming this one runs the same 1k contract x10 contracts, we'll never see it

[polar crater]

No

[lost apex]

All people who have 1000 on contracts since last ARG is at 18,000

[polar crater]

Correct, assuming pattern does not change max will be 20k

[lost apex]

So if they make it when they do 6 more then we have proof of this being the math model

[sleek mural]

I missed one contract bc I was at work :C

[hollow dove]

What’s today’s contract solution?

[lost apex]

Solving the DAC leveling system

[polar crater]

[surreal geyser]

34fb592c-9d0e-499a-9c7b-cfd0b0dc9454

[hollow dove]

My goats

[lost apex]

How funny would it be its supposed to how many contracts you do vice score for leveling

[sleek mural]

tbh there is no way to figure it out, it's not score based, it's not how many were solved

[hollow dove]

What’s the highest level right now that’s confirmed?

[polar crater]

4

[sleek mural]

dac lvl 4 bc I have it

[lost apex]

How do we know that though

[sleek mural]

I have it

[hollow dove]

I feel like I’ve seen 5’s but I forgor

[lost apex]

How do we know that

[polar crater]

I mean we dont know EVERYONE solving, but all of the top placers are solving this together, and none have L5

So that narrows it a bit

[hollow dove]

Oh word

[sleek mural]

i'm not sending it in chat, but it's real the message is uniuqe per dac level

I'll send that

[lost apex]

No im not talking about your DAC. Im talking about how do we know its score based and not contracts completed based.

Like all we know is last ARG stuff counts for our dacs.

[polar crater]

It's not contracts done as some have had L4 before this ARG started

[sleek mural]

oh

[hollow dove]

The plot thickens

[sleek mural]

it's not ether

[lost apex]

Oh there you go. I had level 3

[sleek mural]

some who have done both only are dac lvl 2 though

[lost apex]

Or 2.

[polar crater]

Im not going to lie, we have posited on DACs for a while and we genuinely dont know how it works

for certain anyway

[hollow dove]

I’m at 4 but only 4500 points and the top people have 8000 so I feel like there’s gotta be something higher than 4

[fossil ore]

DAC levels are just the friends we made along the way.

[hollow dove]

Maybe like a 6-7?

[sleek mural]

Well if you look at the role accociated with it

it goes to 7

[lost apex]

So i think we know the leveling is a exponential curve and we need someone to make 23250 to hit level 5.

I think 99 is the max level as we see on the MIDA DAC

And so therefore we will have a shit ton if contracts

[fossil ore]

Well the MIDA DAC was not supposed to happen.

[polar crater]

We dont think the level really means much as they gave everyone an ovveride that AFAWK still works

[dense flare]

There’s probably a bonus for the first so many people to do each contract or something

Maybe small amount for server activity

[lost apex]

Right. And its a 2 digit slot and they picked the highest 2 digit combo to put on it.

[polar crater]

Contracts reward 1k up to a certain amount of reedems, then decrease by 50

[surreal geyser]

First people get 1k points

I got 1k this morning

[lost apex]

Yeah. Thats to allow early solvers to level faster

[dense flare]

Right cuz I’m pretty sure I’m caught up on all but the removed one and I’m still
Only Dac 2 and never got more than 750 for any of them

[lost apex]

I think levels matter when we need to use our dacs to do accessing again.

[sleek mural]

This here is the perm level for dacs

[polar crater]

To get the 1k points, you have to be quick AND yolo

the yolo is b/c if you are wrong or mistype, you are locked out for 2 minutes

and with that you can kiss your placement goodbye

AND it does not help that these drops are truly wtf random-ish

[lost apex]

This is what I THINK so far for levels to score

Level 1 is 750.
Level 2 is 2250.
Level 3 is 5250.
Level 4 is 11250.
Level 5 is 23250.

[sleek mural]

I was long below 5000 for level 4, they are not associated

[lost apex]

This round?

Did you do last ARG contracts

[sleek mural]

I did, but again, there are some who did both in high placements who are only dac lvl 2

[lost apex]

?

Ima need a burn account and start fresh to find how it levels with the 7 contracts we have rn

[oblique laurel]

Did they change the art?

[sleek mural]

@sly sage did you get dac level 4 yet?

[dense flare]

I just started like yesterday and did all contracts that are available and got 750 for each and am DAC 2

[vocal slate]

I’m at 6500 and level 4

[viral perch]

what are you talking about?

marathon or a different game?

[vocal slate]

Marathon , DAC level

[viral perch]

in game or some arg stuff?

[vocal slate]

But not in game, it’s ARG stuff

Contracts tab

[lost apex]

Did you do the contracts for the last ARG

[fossil ore]

2250 is DAC level 2.

So seems about right to what you are thinking.

[lost apex]

Is this confirmed?

[tribal steppe]

i got dac 4 after going through the old contracts from before state of play yesterday

[fossil ore]

Yes just got level 2 on my alt account, have never done the arg on the alt account before.

[brave sonnet]

i'm at 5250 points and completed 7 contracts and my DAC is only level 2 but didn't do any from the beginning ☹️

[tribal steppe]

i got 8 contracts done, 6350 score and level 4

[lost apex]

What about level 3?

[tribal steppe]

so who knows how it works

[fossil ore]

Working on it, this cooldown is hindering me lol.

[lost apex]

Okay

Level 1 is 750.
Level 2 is 2250.
Level 3 is 5250.
Level 4 is 11250.
Level 5 is 23250.

Thats my prediction (this includes old ARG contracts that got wiped)

[tribal steppe]

that doesnt make sense tho? or did the old contracts being wiped erase the score

[lost apex]

Yea but the score is still applied to your DAC. Not on the leaderboard

I did math

[tribal steppe]

ok so youre assuming it kinda doubles for dac to level up?

like exp in a game going up exponentially i see your point

[sleek mural]

and points transfered from he other arg

[lost apex]

Its x + (750 + y) where x is the past level score required to level and y is 2, 4, 8, 16... based on level

I assume not because MIDA DAC is maxed at 99

[tribal steppe]

yea unless they do like a pre release arg after the free week

or a weekly contract

[sleek mural]

the highest by perm level is 7

[lost apex]

But we reset contracts because of the delay

Assuming no reset we will have this the longevity of the game

[lost apex]

I got them archived!

[tribal steppe]

would be nice if they let us put our dac as a like emblem in game tho

or a patch

[lost apex]

You can do it as a gamer pic

This is my alt accounts DAC

[tribal steppe]

its a secret tho! no sharing!

[buoyant rain]

Our personal DAC as a in-game emblem, totally unique, would be super rad. Equip that and never look back

[tribal steppe]

yea fr

keep it clean, always doc the codes 🙂

im surprised you are only Dac3 rn @sly sage

:/ if it drops on me I'll ping you

I tried to ping as many as I could when it dropped

[lost apex]

@fossil ore how's it goin?

Level 3 yet?

[fossil ore]

Did all contracts and the DAC didn't pop up, usually does when you level it up.

[lost apex]

Yeah...

Might need 6k?

[gleaming imp]

Just type all these 1 by 1 for completion?

[polar crater]

dont copy the /contract part, type that to activate the code insert box. paste the actual code

[gleaming imp]

What about the confirminfluence one? I'm not fully understanding that

[polar crater]

for that, type /confirminfluence and type POWER in the code box

the bot commands are a little specific to avoid outright copy pasting

[lost apex]

Okay im dumb.

Level 1 is 0,
Level 2 is 2000 score,
Level 3 is 6000 score,
Level 4 is 12000 score,
Level 5 is 20000 score.

I think every level needs double needed from last level to make it to next level. (0+2000+4000+6000+8000...

[polar crater]

You will get a DM from the bot. Paste the Unique code ID that the bot gives you

[polar crater]

yeah if this is the case, L5 is going to be exceedingly rare

[rough stream]

That doesn’t seem to be accurate, I’m lvl3 and I don’t have 6000

[polar crater]

I dont think anyone in the top 5 right now had max points last arg

[lost apex]

Did you do last arg?

[carmine pebble]

Give me 15 minutes and I cna check my DAC again lol.

[rough stream]

Yup I was lvl 3 even before the last arg
I now have 7 contracts complete

[lost apex]

So you sidnt do all of them last arg?

I did all of them and these so im at level 4.

[rough stream]

The only thing I haven’t done is the one that is disabled now because I was sleeping when it happen

[lost apex]

People who 1000k every one of em should be able to make it to level 5 next wave

[rough stream]

Also no one’s have 12000 score
the highest one in the leaderboard is 8000

[polar crater]

I dont think anyone in the top 6 right now had max points last arg

[lost apex]

After the arg ended they reset the scoreboard but people kept the leveling.

[lost apex]

Okay so it will be rare.

[polar crater]

like literally one person rare yeah, if it happens at all

[lost apex]

Damn.

I think based on your level you will be able to unlock something for release day

[polar crater]

again we really dont know how it functions. we had L4 dacs before this arg even started

and those people have not hit 5 and are in the top 10

[lost apex]

Dude I think thats why you shouldn't show it off because there rewards or access based on its level.

We may have to pair our discord to our game accounts and based off the discord claims you get it ingame.

[polar crater]

i mean in the old ARG its intention was to make it your unique login id, as the DAC has a UUID attached to it

[lost apex]

Kinda like twitch pairing.

[polar crater]

so if they have another webby that allows a similar function to give access to exclusive merch (like the last arg bot link) that would be dope

[lost apex]

Can you unlock stuff for games with discord?

I remember infinite you can get an emblem based off your discord.

So maybe thats how our DACs will tie ingame.

[covert barn]

I still don’t really understand the whole discord thing, is it the arg I keep hearing about I honestly never paid attention to it

[fossil ore]

Would be cool if it was for a unique emblem in game.

[lost apex]

Yeah

If you look at your DAC file name its a code like the contracts.

I bet that is used to unlock items

So thats why you dont share it.

[barren spruce]

i dont think it will do anything in game

[lost apex]

I think so.

[barren spruce]

its like a lore thing, never heard anyone say anything more

[vagrant mirage]

maybe bungie store stuff

[charred geyser]

i remember someone saying something about there is a possibility on their website or whatever we upload our own personal dacs that have metadata inside unique to us, so linked accounts will literally gain rewards because of our personal keycard

the images have text hidden inside im pretty sure

[lost apex]

Boom

[barren spruce]

oh maybe lowkey never crossed my mind

[lost apex]

That is the legit way

[lost apex]

So we level dac to give them more money?

[charred geyser]

it’s supposed to be so that nobody spreads the same png of a level 4 dac around

[lost apex]

Okay

Ultimately just level your dacs!

[barren spruce]

im missing one of these contracts but idk what

[polar crater]

ngl contracts would stir me up every wipe, if you get a certain placement, exclusive emblem available that wipe only

[barren spruce]

like discord contrcts? bad idea

[polar crater]

i mean a week before wipe is when extract shooters are their most 'dead'

so a small ARG the week leading into the wipe would be a hot way of keeping the oven on, so to speak

[lost apex]

There was contract that was available tor a short time yesterday

[fossil ore]

Okay so confirmed 5250 is not a level 3 DAC.

[lost apex]

So then this maybe...
Level 1 is 0,
Level 2 is 2000 score,
Level 3 is 6000 score,
Level 4 is 12000 score,
Level 5 is 20000 score.

I think every level needs double needed from last level to make it to next level. (0+2000+4000+6000+8000...

[polar crater]

Funnily enough, I still have my original L1 DAC from before the bot crash. After they brought it back online, Ive had a new one that has leveled up

[lost apex]

If you can unlock one more contract at 750 and level to 3 then thats it. It confirms the math model.

[polar crater]

750 is the min so any contract complete will do

[fossil ore]

We'll have to wait until next contract wave, if there is one.

[polar crater]

There will be, we are sure there are 10

[lost apex]

I think there is to let people try to make level 4.

[barren spruce]

wait so what do you guys think you might get for dac in game

[polar crater]

my crackpot theory is a website that uses your DAC as your login (like the april ARG) to access an exclusive merch store

DAC level adds more merch

[barren spruce]

i could see that more than in game stuff tbh

[polar crater]

either that or the DAC is an exclusive login tool on a bungie website that can unlock like an emblem, or care package like tarkov

[lost apex]

Maybe a skin?

[polar crater]

maybe? skys the limit really

[sleek mural]

bro I'm hungry

[lost apex]

All we know is higher DAC level, the better an item you get access to.

[barren spruce]

no way lol, hardly even gave a skin for preorder, and didnt for collectors

[polar crater]

I mean we dont know, but we can def dream 😄

[barren spruce]

i mean do we know?

[lost apex]

I thought collectors included deluxe items.

[polar crater]

it does

[barren spruce]

because it includes the deluxe edition.....

the collectors edition itself only includes emblems

[lost apex]

Oh withought the game?

[barren spruce]

yeah the collectors edition price factors in the $60 option to buy game

[lost apex]

Yeah thats if you got deluxe on Xbox and if you decide to go back and get the statue you can still

Im thinking of getting collectors... but I got other collectibles in mind.

[sleek mural]

You could get the collectors without a game code

[barren spruce]

no it just costs 60 extra with the game included

[vocal slate]

As far as I know there are no level 5 DACs and I’m at 6500 with level 4

[gilded pebble]

I kinda hope level 4 is the max so I don’t have to get them so fast 😅

[sleek mural]

btw chat is there a way to buy a game code for a specific platform?

[lost apex]

This is including last ARG contracts

Just buy in the platforms store

[barren spruce]

yeah the preorder links are for diff platforms

[vocal slate]

Not sure what you mean. But I’m pretty sure 4 is highest currently. Unless someone has higher..?

[lost apex]

Like your accounts accumulated score includes last args contracts before the leader board was wiped and reset.

[sleek mural]

for CE, yeah but I want to just get a code for the deluxe edition for giveaway

or do I just get a CE and send the actual CE to somewhere else

[barren spruce]

i think you can just preorder the collectors edition no?

[sleek mural]

What I want is just the game code not the CE

[barren spruce]

oh i see what your saying, yeah what platform do you want?

[sleek mural]

steam

[broken sand]

What’s going on in this chat

[barren spruce]

weird i assumed you could just buy a preorder code

[polar crater]

DAC speculation atm

and contract assist where needed lol

[broken sand]

Ah I bought the collectors edition and got a code

[lost apex]

Hell yeah

[broken sand]

$272 dollars later

[polar crater]

eh ive blown more on less

[sleek mural]

I'm about to buy another CE to give to a friend

[polar crater]

least i have something to show for my 200 dollary doos

[broken sand]

Shhiii I just got a promotion and worked a load of hours before that so they gave me the promotion raise for that paycheck

And alright bandit

[lost apex]

Congrats, great way to celebrate that promotuin

[broken sand]

lol I appreciate it. I’m about to go harass peanut on ark

[wind furnace]

yoooo i just watched all the vids for this game and it looks sweet

[broken sand]

On god it does

[barren spruce]

what code?

oh like just for the game

[broken sand]

Game code

[barren spruce]

ok, cuz im still waiting for the emblem/banner codes for marton

[broken sand]

Hmmm i seee

[sleek mural]

I got those too, in email

[wind furnace]

prolly been asked 100 times but the stress test do you have to buy the game first or is it like a free play? i couldnt find anything about that

[sleek mural]

if you want u can use mine

[barren spruce]

huh???

[sleek mural]

I don't play d2

[barren spruce]

oh

[charred geyser]

free

[barren spruce]

im talking about the marathon emblem/banner

[wind furnace]

sweet thanks!

[sleek mural]

like the one for playing in the upcoming Server Slam?

[barren spruce]

nope, the CE says that it includes a emblem and banner for marton, but afaik they havent given out codes for it yet

[wind furnace]

starting the 26th is what i was talking about

[barren spruce]

unless the code for the delux edition includes those too, but i dont think it does

[marsh raft]

just preorder it dog

[sleek mural]

I want to giveaway, I already have mine, steam doesn't allow me to pre-order and just recive a code, I have to gift it to a friend

[marsh raft]

oh yeah you can only gift as an option for that

could do steam gift cards

50$ cards

idk if they have a 40$ one

[sleek mural]

haha, I might as well just get another CE and send the physical elsewhere

[polar crater]

You have to type the name of thre user using "@"

So "@Miseri.."

[solid merlin]

I’ve done that already, like I’ve pinged them

I’ve directly copy and pasted

[polar crater]

It's a bot/fake user

direct copy paste does not work, this is by design

Full stop, you are doing something wrong, am trying to help!

[solid merlin]

I get that, I’m just explaining what’s not been working so we can figure it out quicker

[polar crater]

Ok, the command works if you manually type it in

[solid merlin]

THERE WE GO

I see the problem, I removed the “#0000” at the end of the name last time I did it

[polar crater]

aha, thats good info lol

[solid merlin]

Thanks for the help man

[polar crater]

The solution entry method is built to not be copy pasted to an extent

Npnp glad we got that figured out, I didnt know it failed if you went deeper lol

[solid merlin]

And that’s all contracts done

[sinful patio]

Letsgoo I got a level 4 Dac

[solid merlin]

I only have level 2 sadly

[polar crater]

Dont worry about DACs, afawk it's just a holdover function from the last bot

There were some of us that had L4 before this most recent spin of contracts came up

And some that have JUST hit L4 now despite being in top50 last arg

[solid merlin]

Didn’t know there was a last arg

[polar crater]

yeah, the april arg + contract combo was wild fun

[sinful patio]

I'm coping there's a new arg with all 4 dac levels

[polar crater]

like actually brain teasingly fun

if the bot didnt die and the websites used for the puzzles were fortified to handle the load it would have been perfect imo

b/c they did not expect it to be this popular lmao

[sinful patio]

That poor dac bot XD

[polar crater]

i still have my OG pre-bot crash dac

[sinful patio]

It was so funny when it came back up to immediately crash again because of the requests

[polar crater]

i would love to be a fly on the wall on the post-mortem discussion for this arg+contract management

[solid merlin]

It’s so weird people are saying this is concord 3 or something, very clearly isn’t

[polar crater]

cause that had to be so frustratingly funny

[sinful patio]

Yeah

that one was negative iirc

i have screenshots of the coordinate solutions but not which one was which

like the +714 for the first

[sinful patio]

Let me find out

[sinful patio]

Oh transit was negative

[polar crater]

so that one, lol

[sinful patio]

Lol letsgo

but yeah i remember..the first time w'ere getting the second satellite in position, it suddenly turned into a hotdog spinning at mach 5

like 3 hours of work down the drain instantly

[sinful patio]

Yeah

[civic pasture]

whats this chanel for? i dont understand (srry)

[sinful patio]

It's like general chat, but sometimes it'll give hints for contracts.

Originally it was to identify a user as a spy and the channel was locked down

I also might be misremembering that part tho

[civic pasture]

contracts ? like kyes

[civic pasture]

XD

[stiff wolf]

Sooo where’s the beta sign up?

[sinful patio]

It was a way to progress the arg that happened last year

[green field]

pretty sure its open

[solid merlin]

Yeah open server slam

[stiff wolf]

Done have to pre order the game to play?

Do*

[sinful patio]

I'm pretty sure it's free

[stiff wolf]

cooool ty

[sinful patio]

I assume they want to stress test servers before they actually launch

[terse rapids]

By exhuming the self from the sepulcher of linear causality, you collapse the distance between the architect and the void, crystallizing into the unmoved mover of your own subjective eternity.

[solid merlin]

Hell yeah(?)

[terse rapids]

Shatter the clock; become the storm. No longer the echo, you are the voice echoing back from the silent abyss.

[solid merlin]

Hell yeah

[hearty aspen]

Yep. The server slam is completely free to play and open to all across all platforms. It starts on February 26th at 1pm Eastern Standard Time. You don't need to pre-order the game. If you do end up buying it, make sure to play on the same account you do the free test on: there is carry over rewards based on progress in the open to play period, which ends March 2nd!

Do you Know specifics on download time availability? And if we purchase do we have re-download on the day of the release or will it stay downloaded

[tulip knot]

[cyan sparrow]

SEKIGUCHI gen and thief is not available during server slam, also cryo archive and outpost was not able to play, my guess is you download part of the game for server slam, when released you would download the rest content as game update

[wise cosmos]

I have the same questions!

damn why no thief

Or any role for that regard

[remote rampart]

do we know if the DAC is gonna be usable for anything in game come launch?

[placid vault]

/playtest

[barren spruce]

i thought no, but some people are saying maybe?

[remote rampart]

Fair enough, curious to see, would be cool for a skin for doing the whole arg, but if not, I had fun

[barren spruce]

Id be shocked if its a skin, there wasnt even a skin for buying the collectors edition, and barely for preordering the game

[barren spruce]

most realistic guess ive heard was access to something on the bungie store

[hoary wyvern]

/contract 34fb592c-9d0e-499a-9c7b-cfd0b0dc9454

[brittle timber]

I wonder if everyone DAC is the same or if their unique randomly gernerated?

[burnt tinsel]

The immage can be the same, but the UUID or the string of text when you download it is unique to you

[lone stag]

Solus!

nice seeing you here

[vital night]

helow

[lusty grove]

Sorry if this is asked a lot, but is there a site or document somewhere that sums up the lore of the ARG? I feel like I've just seen all the codes and not much of what's been worked out about the story

[celest kestrel]

marathon.karnemir.com

is the one used for arg stuff

u can also take a look at marathon.bungie.org/story

also has arg stuff

[calm talon]

6550 points, 8 contracts baby.

[fierce falcon]

Is the one back up?

[slim flint]

nope

[fierce falcon]

Ough

I have 7 and still a level 2 dac

[slim flint]

same

[calm talon]

So i guess the dac level is backed with your overall points

Cuz mine is still 3

[fierce falcon]

Yeah I'm at 5350

[atomic flame]

I dont understand the contracts 😭😭

[azure wigeon]

how do you check your points?

[night salmon]

What are this contracts

[shadow silo]

Why the last contract gives "XP" and not "Points"? Or it's just a typo?

[minor wind]

all contracts have as a Reward XP

but xp = points so it didnt really matter tbh

7250points with 8 contracts

at least something

[shadow silo]

Do they? I was sure it said "points" last time. Maybe Im schizofrenic

[minor wind]

could be if u referre to the first ones in April
but the new one that came out the last days or 1 month ago had Reward xp

[shadow silo]

Must've been a schizofrenia then

ty

[minor wind]

np
not that really matter that much if is XP or Points in the end its only to lvl up the DAC

[inland bone]

like how we do contracts? i dont get it

[unkempt meadow]

Booo

[unkempt meadow]

U do / contract and u need to put a code I’ll dm u two of em

[polar crater]

contracts are hidden unique IDs that are 'hidden' around different areas of Marathon. They could be hidden in the marathon website, steam page, arg website, trailer video, etc.

once you find one, use "/contract" and insert the UUID to claim the points

the clues are cryptic on purpose

[steep sandal]

IS TH3 GAME OPEN?

hello! should we link our bungie accounts to discord somehow or is that not available yet?

[polar crater]

i dont think thats a thing (yet)

[wet sierra]

I see, cheers <3

[fossil ore]

I don't remember how to do it but you can link your Bnet to discord.

Edit: If you go to connections in your discord settings you can find the bungie icon and link accounts.

[wintry patio]

ty

im rank 204

[polar crater]

I tell people to do them, even if you dont have a high placement

you might still be able to get exclusive merch at the end

i think as long as you did most of them last contract cycle you could get the merch at the end

Are there 2 codes for unregistered coordinates? I only got 750 points

[dense drum]

I’m pretty sure only the first (however many) amount of people get the full 1000

[opal whale]

What are the contracts about?

[abstract kayak]

Ahh got you

[polar crater]

they're small puzzles that led to exclusive merch the last time they were live

[opal whale]

Ah rip, thanks for explaining

[polar crater]

We don't know if this one is the same, we all likely expect something, but we dont know for sure

so right now its love of the game

[polar crater]

No rip, do them! Even if you dont place high, you're likely to still be able to get the merch (IF it's merch this time around againwe dont know for sure)

people that didnt place high still got access

[opal whale]

Where do I start?

[polar crater]

i got you fam, hang tight

[polar crater]

typically you type "/contract", then insert the code into the code box that appears

one of them you type "/handshake" and then tag the account, like @polar crater

the contracts now are a bit old, but youll still get some points!

[opal whale]

Alright sweet, thanks for the help I appreciate it. New to everything so I’ve been digging around trying to learn stuff.

[polar crater]

contracts are 100% side content related to the upcoming release, there's no pressure if you dont wanna do them

And dig away! There's a ton of lore to digest, factions to discover, etc. have fun 🙂

[buoyant rain]

I didn't realize that. That's awesome. Interested to see what may result from this one, if anything. Should find out soonish I hope.

[polar crater]

I hope so too! Even if there's nothing at the end, I still had a fun time solving them

I wanna stress though that we don't know if this time is like the old one. We assume but we really don't know

So it's all for love of the game

[surreal geyser]

I'd expect this time around it's tied to the game

I bought the deluxe edition - but Does any1 feel like its kinda underwhelming the skins that you Get?

[knotty remnant]

If they feel underwhelming, why did you buy the Deluxe Edition then?

[glad pawn]

Ill Get it anyways - but its sad if they have skins that Are better when the game Launches that you would rather have bought with the +20 dollar Markup

Would be nice if they showcased the launch skins and pricing

[sleek barn]

it be better if u can customize different parts than just a full body skin

[glad pawn]

I Think they should Only change colour and decal not the model types of the runners if they want to be taken serious in e sports

[knotty remnant]

e-Sports? bruh

[sleek barn]

i dont think e sports should be the priority, but id atleast like different colours on different body or different skins per part i guess

[deft kraken]

Salut les Français. Je construit un discord pour la communauté française de Marathon. Envoyez moi un MP si vous souhaitez avoir le lien 🫶🏻

[knotty remnant]

e-Sports Marathon:
"And here we see xXxCoochieSLayerxXx skulking around the map in his Rook shell. He's been roaming the edge of the map for the last 10 minutes. That Rook ability to blend in with UESC sure is coming in handy for xXxCoochieSlayerxXx there, Mark!"
"Right you are, Ron! And on the other side of the map we see Donald, Kell of Macs, scoped into his sniper for the 50th time this match, waiting for the team that went into South Relay and hasn't come out yet. Does he not suspect they got killed by the USEC?"

[minor wind]

esl in a extraction shooter lmao xD

[glad pawn]

They have ranked and 60 tick servers and the game runs crazy optimization and the graphics Are easy to read information in - its natural that this would become esports

If Apex can this game Can also - its a lot more slow pace and less bloated with ability spams

[knotty remnant]

Just because the game has those features, does not make it a good candidate for an e-Sport

Apex is not an extraction shooter, it's a BR. Mechanically these two games are very different

[glad pawn]

Just wait till gambit is introduced it Will be huge xD

[knotty remnant]

Marathon is Gambit with permanent invasion

[glad pawn]

That was a joke but they could make another mode where you could bring in your loot and maybe have it as a Search and destroy mode where your loot wouldnt Get wiped? It would be gambling with in game currency

That would be cool

[knotty remnant]

That game mode would be dominated by people with end-game loot, because there's no risk of losing that

[glad pawn]

Matchmake by loot value

[knotty remnant]

So then, lower player pop because people would be more incentivised to go in with high-value, more powerful loot.

And even then the people with the highest loot value would have longer mm times
