[calm talon]

Og daps you up

[burnt tinsel]

Back when i first joined we all knew eachother

shakes stick at router

[calm talon]

You probably joined at the realignment step

[past cloak]

Also im in europe so i could not join the firsts tests

Sadly

[calm talon]

Me too and i joined LOL

[past cloak]

Hmm maybe dont say that too loud...

[calm talon]

Back then you could join from anywhere but the ping sucked

[calm talon]

Nah they know we did it

They knew where EVERYONE was connected from

[past cloak]

I think some people did it yes

But i rather not risk that

[calm talon]

Eh. It was a good run. Pls don't ban.

[past cloak]

Anyway, hoping i get a reward for being 386 on the leaderboard

[calm talon]

They said for participating so maybeeee

[past cloak]

Yeah

[calm talon]

Hopefully

[remote rampart]

I think a lot of people just lied about their location lmao, I allegedly made a whole american account just to play the first alpha when it dropped

[molten fox]

I don’t wanna embarrass myself or anything but how do i get faction role

[calm talon]

channels and roles

[remote rampart]

go to the channels and roles section

[calm talon]

Top of the menu

[molten fox]

Omfg i need to check up my eyesight

[calm talon]

Same bro. Same.

[remote rampart]

lol, happens to the best of us

[past cloak]

They prob still used the data

[calm talon]

100% they did

[past cloak]

The / me command used to work before too

Kinda wanna use it again to see my stats

[calm talon]

What stats?

[past cloak]

Dont remember exactly

[opal iron]

yo bungie where are my leaerabord rewards at

[calm talon]

Ong

[opal iron]

been waiting forever😭

[silk parcel]

is there a command to see howmany contract points you got

[past cloak]

Yes, / leaderboard

[opal iron]

most likely top 50 will get something

hopefullyt like last time

[calm talon]

Awwww...

I was 53...

[opal iron]

rip bro

there is probably goin gto be another set so dont worry

[minor wind]

"If you participated, ensure your DMs are open."
would think that everyone could get something 🤷‍♂️

[opal iron]

im so close to top 20 🙁

[burnt tinsel]

Wait how

Oh you didn't do all 9

[frosty cloud]

/ contract Give them there just reward.

[past cloak]

How many contracts you did? And whats your dac level?

[sharp crag]

getting marathon edits on my fyp... im becoming truly marathon pilled... just a small glimpse into my marathon mind..

[past cloak]

Hmm

[remote rampart]

you're thoning it

[silk parcel]

ive got dac lvl 2 and i did 5

[south fiber]

DAC Level 4, 11 Contracts

[past cloak]

Thanks for the info.

[silk parcel]

hoping ive got sum

[past cloak]

The contracts or the uuid codes?

[quiet sphinx]

[past cloak]

9 contracts dac level 4 here

[opal iron]

they removed the old contracts the 11 are over for this set

[remote rampart]

i think dac levels have to connect to the rewards somehow, especially if there actually are 5 levels

[polar crater]

Do you mean 'how did we get the solutions'?

They were hidden, easter-egg style. We had to infer a lot from the clues and go from there

[calm talon]

11 contracts. Dac 4

[past cloak]

Collective work mostly

[fading wren]

Hey, you're the guy in the top 20

Actually, you're the guy that got 2nd lmao

Crazy, congrats

[opal iron]

theres a big discord server that does teh contracts when they come out

[past cloak]

Is it clade?

[opal iron]

ye

i think everyone in top 20 is also in clade as well

[south fiber]

Damn, I've never even heard of clade

[opal iron]

ill send u a invite if u want

[placid vault]

surely they'll give me their beloved 957th highest something

[past cloak]

Im already there

[opal iron]

for other people

[past cloak]

Yeah

[past cloak]

There is also the old og marathon server

[fading wren]

Sounds cool, like a ctf competition in hackatons lol

[primal haven]

It was pretty far from a ctf, finding uuids in youtube descriptions for example

[drifting swan]

join clade

it's a peak marton server

[silk parcel]

can i get an inv

[calm talon]

Oh god

[fading wren]

Yeah, send me an invite also, pretty please :^))

[past cloak]

We dont know yet i think

[primal haven]

Have ppl gotten rewards yet

[minor wind]

nope

[vocal slate]

^

[burnt tinsel]

not yet

[random pilot]

"shortly"

[vocal slate]

Why wouldn’t you be able to extract?

[past cloak]

Because they get killed lol

[tawdry dome]

How long is the beta ?

[burnt tinsel]

till the 2nd

[vocal slate]

Oh, yeah you’re (we all are) gonna die ALOT ,

Then die some more

[remote rampart]

speaking purely from opinion and assumption, but i think it'll be available to anyone but have a similar mechanic to other extraction shooters where you can only run that map if you take loot with a certain value in, but thats just an assumption it could be like arc and you can run it any time, gear just makes it easier or harder

[drifting swan]

so it's about skill? I mean if it's too hard yeah don't buy it

[vocal slate]

Don’t let it discourage you though, it happens in these games .makes the winning more thrilling

[drifting swan]

that's true also

[loud radish]

in arc the different maps are unlocked purely based on how many games youve played, so id be surprised if marathon doesnt follow suit - it may be moreso that everyone can quickly access the map, but the danger of the map is what deters newer players from trying out harder maps

[burnt tinsel]

you will be in a team, so if you run medic then you might be able to carry

[fading wren]

You just need to find an e-boy to carry you

[drifting swan]

but you have to be prepared to fail and lose it all

[vocal slate]

SOLO LIFE

[drifting swan]

marathon goes by player level I think?

[burnt tinsel]

As a rook main i feel ya

[loud radish]

true, it will probably be based on level then - once you reach level 20 you get perimeter, level 30 you get cryo etc etc something like that

[drifting swan]

Yeah

[vocal slate]

Just learn from each death , you’ll survive!

[burnt tinsel]

Oh yea i didnt do my bit today

[drifting swan]

the game is cool indeed

[honest elm]

did anyone receive rewards for the dac already?

[burnt tinsel]

LF1 goth girl to verbally abuse me when we fail to extract

[past cloak]

Cryo i think its level 50

[calm talon]

[vocal slate]

Should be level and quest locked 🫣

[drifting swan]

same here

[loud radish]

intriguing so it is based on player level - in that case, we;ll see if the contracts (which are the main way of leveling) will require you to successfully extract or not, because if they require success itll be harder for less good players to level up as quickly

[remote rampart]

i mean isn't cryo is supposed to unlock into the first season? so i assume that wont be level gated since it would hurt the hype

outpost is likely level gated tho

[calm talon]

If i make it to lvl 30 day one of the slam yall owe me a beer

[vocal slate]

Beers on me

[burnt tinsel]

One of these days ill manifest it

[ruby cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/facts-brother-so-true-my-friend-halo-wars-spartan-meme-gif-26451791

[calm talon]

I'm definitely gonna do a 12 hour stream if i can

[past cloak]

You level up quickly anyway so thats not an issue

[burnt tinsel]

Im going to no life the bash b/c ill be gone after launch day for a week

[vocal slate]

NHL season starts back up same day as slam 😭🫣

[loud radish]

yeah hopefully the quick level progression will make death less of a drawback, meaning you dont need to spend as long outside of actually playing the game - the main reason i dont enjoy the arc gameplay loop

[toxic kraken]

Get yo ass back in Tau ceti

[remote rampart]

i believe a good amount will require you to extract with an item

[loud radish]

I want to spend less time crafting and preparing before a round and more time actually in round

[calm talon]

NHL can suck my dihh. This is marathon.

[vocal slate]

Luckily I have a portal and will play and watch 😆

[past cloak]

Thats understandable

[burnt tinsel]

ItS My DoWn TiMe I CaN SpEnD iT hOw I WanT tO

[loud radish]

it looks like marathon wont have that issue though because theres no crafting mechanic, your loot space will simply be mods and weapons and other basic stuff, so itll be a lot faster to get back into a round

[past cloak]

You still have to take your time to think about your loadout

[vocal slate]

At first may take a bit longer, will have to read cores , stats etc. once you get it down it’ll be faster tho

[tawdry dome]

Do you need PLUS to play the beta ?

[vocal slate]

Ps plus?

[past cloak]

I believe so

[vocal slate]

Yeee

[loud radish]

true but eventually ill get used to everything in my inventory that i know what meshes well together and i just slap together a load out and run

[loud radish]

yeah hopefully everyone will have that issue when they start so i can spend 30 seconds reading each thing in round before i pick it up LMAO

“wait dont shoot me let me read what this does first“

[burnt tinsel]

Imma be the first to get the achievement for no lifeing in the vault

[vocal slate]

I’ll be chill at times

[loud radish]

yippee

[past cloak]

Just pick up everything and read it after extraction

[vocal slate]

Just to get close enough to skin you

[exotic wing]

nab stuff, get out, read in your vault

[past cloak]

Lol

[loud radish]

i guess but when theres limited space in my bag id rather make sure im getting the goodies

[past cloak]

Basically this

[past cloak]

One is in theory, in practice youll feel the heat

[vocal slate]

Only profit if you get out, so imo run fill up , get out, repeat is better and faster then taking whole round to find “best loot”

[loud radish]

ill probably read up before i start my runs online just so i know

[loud radish]

i think im gonna play assassin purely so i have the invis time to read what im looting lMAO

[vocal slate]

Be careful , you can still be seen 👀

I won’t have a “main” per say, but will change for whatever goal I’m trying to accomplish

[past cloak]

I like recon

[south fiber]

I'm a recon girl

[past cloak]

Is what im gonna use the most

But thief looks cool

[calm talon]

While being a NuMart girl? No can do

[vocal slate]

I liked recon a lot

[past cloak]

We will see the meta tho, thats gonna be interesting

[past cloak]

I just use it because i think it fits me

[calm talon]

Probably the best squad is recon, destroyer and triage

You get everything

[vocal slate]

What if you solo ?👀

No friends life

[feral belfry]

best squad is ur friends, playing what they like playing 🙂

[calm talon]

Then recon ofc. You need info if you alone.

[feral belfry]

o

[past cloak]

That or rook

[vocal slate]

Tru. Thats what I ran most in test

[calm talon]

I ran void most of the tests because i love stealth games

[calm talon]

True. I think rooks thing is the UESC disrupt. Idk tho.

Since the trailer showed it

[past cloak]

Yeah

[vocal slate]

Such a scared little rook

[calm talon]

It's actually pretty neat

[south fiber]

I'm a rat, mainly, as are my friends getting this game. We're not rats in the way ARC Raiders has twisted the word. Rats don't camp; we have honour, we have a code. We're waiting till the shots are quiet. We're waiting until the exfils have all but gone. No one has enough room for all of the loot, and that's where we come in. You won't see us, you won't even know we're there

[vocal slate]

I felt bad 😆

[calm talon]

Bro emptyed a whole mag into that destroyer

[south fiber]

That Rook trailer was so good

[vocal slate]

BC HE WAS SCARED

[calm talon]

Then yeah definitely triage, destroyer and recon

[calm rune]

this is where i would put my fire writing gif if i could

[vocal slate]

Rat comes from Tarkov, but yeah chill “rats” are cool. I see you more as a sneaky , raider, runner etc. true rats , camp extracts etc. which is fair game but dirty

[atomic remnant]

Rats are just villains

[calm talon]

Oh wow look, another aztecross video

[atomic remnant]

Evil but necessary to the story

[calm talon]

Mfer accept my fr

[vocal slate]

SORRY BOSS

[calm talon]

I followed you on twitter too LOL

love ya

[vocal slate]

AYOOOO! Thank you!!

[calm talon]

No worries. Just silly social ol me

[loud radish]

yeah from the beta its not the easiest to see when not moving tho

[vocal slate]

I don’t use discord much except for args really. But the marathon discord has kept me staying around .

But Twitter, I use that ALOT

[loud radish]

yeah im used to playing only recon/support in most games i play, but thief has a very similar drone to my main in another game so it may be up my alley to use it for recon

[vocal slate]

😆

[calm talon]

Same. I used to not give an f about dicord now I'm daily here

[fading wren]

Smells like Crypto in here

[vocal slate]

Daily since I want to hop on those contracts ASAP 😆

[loud radish]

been playing him since he came out lol

throughout his numerous downs and some ups

[calm talon]

Now that they're gone i cant leave discord

[vocal slate]

THEY COULD COME BACK ANYTIME

[calm talon]

Not during the slam that's fo sho

[vocal slate]

Yeah that’s what i figured

Exoborne did a arg during a test which had you go to a game location and figure stuff out

Was kinda cool, but I don’t think Bungie gonna do that

[calm talon]

Exoborne was cool until it wasn't

[vocal slate]

Yeah they’re radio silent now. Their ARG was pretty challenging

[calm talon]

Tom = tom

[worthy silo]

Speaking of twitter, I'm always fascinating just how the algorithm can really quick. Like for example, I like pretty alternative fashion and follow a couple of people who makes that sort of aesthetics. I see a post about some farmer talking about tomatoes or whatever, I like the post because he made me laugh and now all of the sudden I get so many posts about farmers 😭

[calm talon]

Thats my arg

[vocal slate]

Yeah one view or like outside your norm can mess up your page for a little lol

[past cloak]

Mida≠tom

[calm talon]

Community is key

[vocal slate]

Mine is all video games, occasionally I’ll look at a ufc video for example, then I’m seeing fights for the next hour lol

"A little" is an understatement but very true!

[broken fog]

I used to be CyberAcme but the marathon profiling said I’m a worm

[inner summit]

can one get the link to that website?

i wanna know what i am

[broken fog]

Why are the bots so hostile

[broken fog]

Sure I gotcha

[past cloak]

I cant even represent that faction 😭

[white isle]

I got Mida

[past cloak]

So im gonna stay cyac for now

[white isle]

I suppose grenades will speak for me

[broken fog]

Do you have a DAC?

[thin galleon]

https://tauceti.world/profiling

[calm talon]

Come to us. Come to mida.

[broken fog]

https://tauceti.world/profiling

[thin galleon]

you don't need a DAC

it's optional

[white isle]

U can also request a DAC

from the leaderboard tab

[past cloak]

Better with one

[broken fog]

Yea but it’s more fun, plus it links to ur discord

[calm talon]

A dac is your identity

[past cloak]

Nah i like CyAc

[calm talon]

Idk tbf. I'm a computer science major so i might also join cyac

But mida provides

[white isle]

Leo they aint rejecting

[south fiber]

Does anyone else rotate Tau Ceti IV to make the Marathon spin around it like a little plane?

[calm talon]

I just check if there is any other secret location hidden on the map

[broken fog]

Tbh I only went on the website for the profiling

[lament crow]

Does anyone know if cross progression is available for the server slam?

[broken fog]

I always have my DAC so

[calm talon]

Yes?

We don't know tbf

[broken fog]

No but as you level it’ll give u rewards for what level u are

[past cloak]

I think so

[thin galleon]

that's why i said it's optional

"share it and be forgotten" you know the rules (and so do i)

[calm talon]

Ahhh you know what. Imma do it

There

[past cloak]

Rickrolled in the marton server

[white isle]

I cant believe u did that

we will destroy ur corporations

[calm talon]

My favorite d2 emblem is the cyac emblem so why not

[broken fog]

I wonder how is everyone’s DAC different like what AI did they use

[tawdry dome]

Whats the best weapon in the game ?

[calm talon]

No. Lue

No clue*

[broken fog]

I pray there’s no meta

[thin galleon]

mida multi-tool

[broken fog]

I hate metas

[past cloak]

Ofc there will be meta

[calm talon]

Don't ask that in marathon

We will skin you

[broken fog]

Right

[past cloak]

I was gonna say this

[broken fog]

Only time I’ll join the skinners

[potent echo]

how manyy points do u need for DAC lvl 3

[harsh dune]

well a lot of them are similar/the same visually but the special thing is in the image data itself. if you open it in your browser you can see that it's a googleapis thing they used that tracks how you've used it

[calm talon]

We don't know

[past cloak]

We dont know...

[broken fog]

It’s too late now leaderboard contracts closed

[calm talon]

No clear answer

[potent echo]

ok thanks

[calm talon]

Bro I'm sleeping on the floor tonight

[past cloak]

In the clade server the owner found that you only need the first 9 pixels of your dac for it to work properly, not even the name

[lone flicker]

Hello if you see any link from me dont click it

I got hacked for a moment

[calm talon]

It's only the outer circle of the dac

[wintry patio]

Dang i ended at 255

[potent echo]

w person for lettin ppl know. respect

[calm talon]

255, 255, 255

[wintry patio]

What dat mean

[past cloak]

Really? He said "first 9 pixels of the dac" so i assume it atarts top left of the dac counting until 9

[calm talon]

White color

[white isle]

U have insane lore in mida restricted comms ever since u defected 😂

[past cloak]

Colors

[potent echo]

whats the DAC for anyway?

[calm talon]

I shall be remembered

[calm talon]

I remember our talk being the outer circle is your identity

It's what matters

[marble iron]

I thought the dac would just have some metadata for your username. That's cool it's encoded in the img

[white isle]

at first we called u a spy, but doing what u want is super MIDA. you are a double agent now>

[wintry patio]

Ah mb 😭 the last time i messed with color pallet data it was 5 bits for each of the colors

[calm talon]

0, 0, 0 is black

255, 0, 0 is red

R, B, G

[wintry patio]

No no i get that

[calm talon]

For the others LOL

[past cloak]

Well im not sure then

[harsh dune]

They used a storage.goolgeapis thing for it which I think is an XML thing. Then linked it to your account.
beyond that I'm not sure how they did it

[calm talon]

I'm pretty sure all of the dac matters

[wintry patio]

On the ps1 white would be 31, 31, 31, 0 i think

[calm talon]

Damn

[past cloak]

Yeah im saving mine whole

I like how it is anyway

[calm talon]

Mine was with me since day 1

It was my pfp since the arg started with dacs

[white isle]

I had to request it again from the leaderboard tab, I lost it after day 3

[calm talon]

I think mine changed once tho. Idk if its true.

[past cloak]

Ive got two dacs, one of less quality that didnt work properly then the new one im using now that is level 4

[calm talon]

Yeahhhh that's why i remember two

[naive hatch]

im trying to figure out a game i can play until the test comes out

genuinely cant wait, i just wanna play

[restive sedge]

You guys think there will be Deluxe Upgrade Pack after purchasing Marathon, just like in Destiny?
I want to give the game a shot in server slam, then in official release and if I'll really enjoy the game I might upgrade to deluxe, you think this is very likely to be implemented as an option in the store?

[broken fog]

Guys are our DACs gonna be used ingame?

[thin galleon]

I remember soon as the DACs were rolling out, everyone began trading DACs or just sharing them out until they realized there was meaning behind them.

[surreal halo]

Game comes out right when i leave my country and cant play

sick

[calm talon]

No clue

[naive hatch]

I remember we all had the same one because no one was getting their dacs for a while

[calm talon]

It's a whole ID card

[broken fog]

Well the deluxe edition is just some weapon and shell skins, items, and a pass to the first “season”

[white isle]

where are the credentials in the dac, I downloaded the png and cant find it

[valid pine]

I would definitely hold on to it

[broken fog]

Literally basically our ID in marathon 😭

[calm talon]

All of it. It's a combo of all the shapes in the dac.

When we used it for the profiling mine had my name on it

[broken fog]

It’s jus crazy to me everyone has their own DAC

[past cloak]

Just save it as a whole

[white isle]

so downloading the png is enough, I dont need to find a certain file to download.

[broken fog]

I save mine everytime I upgrade it in case I need it

[calm talon]

Nope

[past cloak]

Is like a QR

[calm talon]

Yes

[white isle]

sweet

[calm talon]

Special QR

[thin galleon]

I put my DAC on my uni ID card - it's fully functional

[past cloak]

They are pretty easy to make

[calm talon]

There is a whole website lol

[broken fog]

Fr? Show me

[fallow vale]

wait what happened to the contracts ?

[broken fog]

There down now

[shut breach]

Closed for now.

[past cloak]

I know, but the one the devs are using is prob different

[broken fog]

Over wit

[calm talon]

Oh fo sho

[fallow vale]

dac level 3 is the highest we can have rn right ?

[broken fog]

No

[calm talon]

Anyways i need some sleep. Gnight yall.

[harsh dune]

4

[naive hatch]

Ive got lvl 4

[fallow vale]

dam

[calm talon]

Some people have a lvl 5 dac

[past cloak]

Highest is 5

[broken fog]

You had to be around for the very beginning for that

[fallow vale]

ohhhh ok

[past cloak]

Gn

[shut breach]

I want to make sure my DMs are open. Can someone try messaging me to ensure?

[calm talon]

Done

[naive hatch]

tried too,

[calm talon]

I turned off msg requests

[naive hatch]

is open dms like the message request? or is it something different

[calm talon]

Can someone check for me?

[tawdry dome]

Arc raiders lost many players this month if this game is even decent its gonna sell big

[shut breach]

Dang! Haha. Thanks everyone. It’s in there as requests.

[calm talon]

Yes

[past cloak]

And they said "shortly"...

[broken fog]

SOMEONE FINALLY SAYS IT 🗣️

[calm talon]

Its been 4 hours or more

[naive hatch]

can someone who isnt leo message me to see if mine works

[harsh dune]

sure why not someone test my dms. I think I have them open but yknow

[shut breach]

Perhaps we were not high enough level to receive DMs?

[minor wind]

shortly and soon tm in dev speak could be even weeks or years or decades if we look at star citizen xD

[calm talon]

Or just not in the top 10

[minor wind]

not even the top 10 got there dms

[naive hatch]

if it was top 10 i think some of them had left cause the name was redacted in leaderboards?

[shut breach]

Must’ve missed that!

[calm talon]

We'll wait and see

[naive hatch]

ive got a feelings its gonna be like an icon in game or something

[past cloak]

Sent

[shut breach]

I ended up at 591. 😔

[calm talon]

I just changed my privacy settings again can someone check?

[south fiber]

I'd love to have an emblem or something. I remember getting one of the Bungie Forum emblems for Destiny 1 and it felt good having legacy rewarded like that

[calm talon]

Still works

Perfecto

[naive hatch]

mine comes through as message requests but the marathon team have messaged previously? so i should be good right?

[calm talon]

Ong

[calm talon]

Yes

[naive hatch]

ok soundy sound

[past cloak]

Im 387 so i hope 500 or 1000 first ones get something

[safe frost]

oooooo that would be good!!

[naive hatch]

How do people know what rank they are in the leaderboards? i could never figure that out

[vocal slate]

./leaderbaoed

[safe frost]

do /leaderboard and click the autofill popup!

[vocal slate]

Spelled correctly

[safe frost]

you tried <3

[south fiber]

tbf, looks like there's been at least 4,500 runners so ar, so 10% of that is still a good chunk of people

[vocal slate]

It’s how we say it here in Detroit

[naive hatch]

oh im like 1800 on the dot, gg

[safe frost]

cant have shit in detroit

[torpid relic]

Why ppl talking about DMS did bungie say they gonna DM ppl?

[valid pine]

I just , out of boredom, checked every Bungie Dev currently online in this Server. Of the 38 of them only 3 dont have the Arachne Tag, and most ONLY have that one. Are we screwed folks?

[calm talon]

Ohio

[naive hatch]

mustve missed 2 or 3 of the new ones

[harsh dune]

yeah same someone try dming me

[vocal slate]

YOU DONT DAY THAT

[calm talon]

Yes

[past cloak]

How do you know there has been 4500 runners?

[safe frost]

[shut breach]

I’ll forever be upset that I was broke when the first shirts came out.

I’ve been looking online but they are… expensive.

[calm talon]

Imagine thinking that

[calm rune]

Almost certainly won't be dead, but you should at least play the free weekend before buying if you have hesitations

[past cloak]

Play the slam test

[velvet tree]

It won’t be dead but try it before you buy if you want

[cosmic cargo]

just buy it whenever bro, u playing it or not wont matter

[narrow venture]

yup im thiking of playing it

[calm talon]

The pink ones?

[ornate lion]

currently one of the top selling on steam pre server slam it's probably fine

[grave arrow]

Check steamdb man, game has 0 players rn. Game's dead as hell 😭 🙏

[quaint surge]

Probably the 1000th person asking. Any info on preload? Want to be able to play instantly tomorrow when coming home from work

[south fiber]

Nothing yet

[thin galleon]

probably get noti'd on twittter 10mins prior to the Server Slam going live

[hoary wyvern]

Prob won't be a preload to prevent the servers getting absolutely slammed and turned to ruin

(Tarkov I'm looking at you)

If everyone has to download the game before logging in then the players will trickle in instead of shafting those poor, poor servers

[thin galleon]

All we know currently is this:

You add the Cow via Channels & Roles

[pseudo wigeon]

Peta has been notified.

[loud pebble]

Dude go chill.

[lunar pendant]

they'd have just put it down anyway

[polar crater]

Don't stress; depending on which ones you had done, you were going to be limited in total anyway

[loud pebble]

Lets go

[hazy dew]

Omg I genuinely cannot wait for people to see this in game. It’s going to turn so many heads

[timid moth]

Lmao I clicked it but I was already watching the video. Confused me why yt wasn’t updating to show me the linked content

[dreamy grail]

i just quit caring about it tbh i'm employed

i got to level 3 and was like, wow, this is still going? it's starting to burn into my free time too much

[timid moth]

Yeah I got to lvl 3 as well. Do we know what the highest is atm?

[dreamy grail]

the last i heard was 4. could be 5

[torpid relic]

5 I believe

[lethal parrot]

damn

[lost apex]

Level 5 by 2 individuals.

[half heath]

I made it into the top 3000 yesterday, after ignoring the contracts for a long time. I feel like I *might * have gotten lucky

[lost apex]

How many people partook in the contracts?

[timid moth]

Daaaaamn there’s lvl 5s

[lost apex]

Im #532

2 i believe. They got enough 1k points last arg and this one.

[timid moth]

How do you see rank?

[lost apex]

With the 11 contract they closed the gap.

[lost apex]

/leaderboard

[timid moth]

Damn, #1168

[torpid relic]

#382 here

[lethal parrot]

369 lets gooo baby

[polar crater]

Can confirm, there are L5 DACs out there

[timid moth]

Yeah yeah number 2

[polar crater]

I'm not one of them, but I have seen them stream generated

[timid moth]

I see you

[lethal parrot]

we see you

watch your back

[timid moth]

And your front

[modern gyro]

is there a pre download option for the server slam at 26? or i need to pre order the game first?

[uneven finch]

I swear I got a lv.4 DAC at some point but now it's lv.3
Is it related to your position in the leaderboard?

[past cloak]

im 386

[polar crater]

Trust me, once I got there, you could feel the target on your back

[polar crater]

No, it's related to your placements overall from the bot across all ARGs it has been involved in

[lethal parrot]

unless i am dead first

[lost apex]

I think it was related to score from both ARGs. Enough people did 21 contracts but didnt make level 5. But 2 people made over 20,000 points.

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

Thats what i calculate from BOTH ARGS ACCUMULATED

[timid moth]

With Sekiguchi Genetics, death is a concept of the past. Shed your mortal coil and reiterate with us today!

[lost apex]

FROM BOTH ARGS

[past cloak]

how many contracts were in the first arg?

[lost apex]

10

[past cloak]

let me check something

[timid moth]

There were 2 args? I’m behind af

[lost apex]

This one and last years.

But the game got delayed so i image thats why the reset the score board.

[polar crater]

Last years ARG was wild

[lost apex]

Im at 14,350 points.

[halcyon crow]

did anyone get messaged

[past cloak]

maybe youre right but the devs still need to confirm it

[lost apex]

Im pursuaded thats the case.

[lost apex]

No

[halcyon crow]

got me checking my dms like a fiend

[uneven finch]

I hope everyone who participated gets a T-9 Cheeseburger weapon charm

[past cloak]

so there is prob like less than 50 runners with a dac 5 right?

[lost apex]

2 total

Im just curious how many have level 4

[past cloak]

why only two?

[timid moth]

Yeah, they messaged me like 5 minutes ago

[vocal slate]

Had to complete last years arg and get full points this time around

[lost apex]

I believe 2 people scored high enough both sets of contracts (21 total contracts) that they exceeded the 20,000 score they needed to make level 5

[past cloak]

if they completed all 10 old contracts (with 1000 each) and completed the 11 recent ( with 1000 each again) then it should be at like 20 runners or so

do the math

just the first 20 in the leaderboard have already at least 10k

[lost apex]

In terms of score? The current top 20 all didn't make top 20 last time. If all of them did 21 contracts and it was based quantity not score then there would be more level 5s. But since only 2 made it then they had to make over 20k from both sets and the others either are close or just made 20 this set.

It has to be based off score.

[past cloak]

idk where in the leaderboard gets below 10k, maybe 30 or 45?

[past cloak]

im talking about score too no leaderboard position

[lost apex]

Yup. Only 2 people got over 20,000 accumulated.

[past cloak]

how can you be sure? unless you can see both arg points

i doubt there is only two

[lost apex]

How else would they make level 5 without anyone else?

[past cloak]

im saying that more runners have more than or at least 20k

[past cloak]

im not debating your points theory rn

[loud pebble]

This guy make a truly good job dude, I'm still watching with a cup of coffe.

[vocal slate]

Riloe the OG

[past cloak]

im talking about how many of them have dac 5

[lost apex]

Only 2 so far. If anyone else has then theyve been very hush hush. Even then the onlh way the criteria of making level 5 is score and i mathed it to be more than 20,000

[loud pebble]

Because they start from the begining thats all

[past cloak]

beginning of what

[vocal slate]

First arg I’m guessing

[loud pebble]

Of the Discord Server from Marathon.

All start there bro.

[past cloak]

i did the first arg too

[lost apex]

Hes asking how do we know only 2 people are level 5 DACS

[vocal slate]

All points?

[loud pebble]

But Dac is not important just enjoy the game.

[past cloak]

i got into this server at maybe 5k runners

[shut breach]

If I didn’t lose the passkey to my first Discord, I would have the 2025 contracts as well. 😔 Feels bad.

[lost apex]

So you must be level 4 @past cloak

[past cloak]

yes

[vocal slate]

Ayyy we joined same day

[past cloak]

yeah

[loud pebble]

And you make all the things that he does?

[vocal slate]

Where you at on leaderboard

[past cloak]

the only thing i missed from this server was the SoP

[past cloak]

386

[vocal slate]

And persistence

[past cloak]

yes

[lost apex]

I need 8 contracts with each at 750 to make level 5.

[loud pebble]

I remember some guy share a video as a guide, to get almost all the points.

[vocal slate]

Nd likely didn’t get full 1k points

[lost apex]

😭

[past cloak]

yeah because i came in late. not gonna happen again tho

[flat copper]

cant remember my join date but you can see it on my profile, never once done a contract, all I want to do is kill in-game

4/20 is when you joined.

[flat copper]

hehe funny number

[shut breach]

Also, KR header is goated.

[deft cairn]

Any bets on rewards? I assume top 100 get a special cosmetic or something and everyone participating maybe an Emblem?

[loud pebble]

me to 3600 Dac 3.

[past cloak]

360 or 3600?

[loud pebble]

I´ts says 3600

[past cloak]

I don´t know if it is wrong I double chek it haha.

Top 50 was the cut off last time

Gotcha

[polar crater]

Sorry boss, the contracts have been turned off for now. See #marathon-news

[nimble apex]

Wonder what the reward was this time

[vocal slate]

We’re waiting

[deft cairn]

Reward last time was priority que codes for the alpha at the time right?

[vocal slate]

And a t shirt I believe , for top 20 or 50

[deft cairn]

Ah cool, then maybe top 50~ get some irl swag then some digital thing for them plus another 100~ and a basic emblem or something as a participation trophy for the rest as a 'I was there for the arg'

[nimble apex]

Hopefully it’s a little more then top 50 this time but I’d understand if it wasn’t

I’m sure we’d all like some cool free stuff

[vocal slate]

[vocal slate]

I wish

[opal iron]

8 hours is pretty long

[surreal geyser]

Less than a work day for me

[opal iron]

Then they should’ve said that rewards will be given out in. 1-2 buisness days instead of shortly💀

[inner bison]

just me or the dragonfly in rook video remember me of bingus

[opal iron]

I’ll wait just playing but they keep baiting us with contracts it’s actually funny

[next blade]

Will Marathon be on GeForce now, imma be on a trip when it releases

[vocal slate]

We should just be happy we get anything(if we do) no one forced us to do this. And a lot of people were just fed the answers 🫣

(Not saying you specifically)

[stable scarab]

The reward is gonna be like a high five bro its not that serious

[safe frost]

ill be hyped for an in-character dm tbh im not expecting anything fancy

[stable scarab]

Ben starr in my dms save me ben starr

[safe frost]

i need john marathon to hit me with that "good job runner" dm lmao

[vocal slate]

Same. Just glad they do things like this bc they are fun, and bring the community together !

[safe frost]

yes!!! it was SO much fun working on the contracts and seeing them get figured out here in real time

[inner bison]

u can do that with steam

[next blade]

I can’t game on the cloud with steam, imma be on a Mac then

[inner bison]

well yes u can, but on mac idk

[next blade]

That’s remote play, not exactly gaming on the cloud

[inner bison]

yea u right but its kinda better

[next blade]

Yep, but my steam is glitched and only gives me a black screen, so I use gfn

[inner bison]

ok right well i hope it will be on gforce

[next blade]

Same

[teal trellis]

d2 is on gforce so most likely

[next blade]

But Sony own bungie now

And they’re picky

But hey, Bungie is all for it so hopefully

[teal trellis]

putting it on gforce gives them more money so sony wont care

[next blade]

Fr, I hope, I preordered the deluxe

[teal trellis]

me too :P

been waiting for 2 years, now theres only 2 days left

[inner bison]

maybe they talk about it directl yon the gforce app

[next blade]

I still stuck in bundle nostalgia from when they made halo and then destiny, and yes, I too have been waiting since the announcement

[teal trellis]

yea keep an eye out wherever they announce that, i dont use it so idk

[next blade]

They only announcing march games on march 5th cause it’s the first Thursday of march

[sharp crag]

how long will the collectors edition be available for?

[next blade]

Idk, but I won’t bother

[inner bison]

until sold out

[teal trellis]

i havent played destiny tbh so im coming straight from halo

[inner bison]

xbox version alread sold ou

[sharp crag]

yeah the price is kinda a lot for me

[next blade]

It was pretty good, but then they lost the vision kinda, it’s still good, but in the beginning they had something amazing

[inner bison]

ive compare i ito many collector edition and its a pretty good price

[sharp crag]

probably gonna pre order the deluxe edition tho depending on how the server slam goes

[teal trellis]

so ive heard

[next blade]

I already did

[magic rock]

Yea I was gonna get it but it’s like $50 overpriced for what I want to spend on it

[runic prism]

[magic rock]

I was talking about the collectors edition

[sharp crag]

80?

[magic rock]

Deluxe was only $60 right?

[teal trellis]

80 bucks

CDN

[next blade]

Yes

[sharp crag]

oh

deluxe is 60 usd

[inner bison]

its pricy but its worth the price

[sharp crag]

pretty much the price of a normal game anyways now

[next blade]

Same as Arc Raiders but I have a feeling I’ll like marathon more

[magic rock]

The collectors edition? Idk man it is a lot of $ for it

[inner bison]

i mean the collector edition

[next blade]

Oh, alr

[sharp crag]

I mean you can get collectors edition without the game for 170 usd

[magic rock]

Yea $40 for marathon is 100% fair price they could probably do $60 but I’m glad they didn’t

[inner bison]

but its worh the price. the quality man..

[sharp crag]

With the game is 230

[inner bison]

thats what i did

[nimble apex]

170 plus tax and it’s like 210 tho 💀

[next blade]

Idk why Sony wouldn’t allow them to put it on gfn because Arc Raiders is there and that’s their main competitor

[stable scarab]

The collectors is really clean

Only collector from bungie ive gotten

[magic rock]

Yea I guess without the game price it’s a fair price

[nimble apex]

Oh also 30 bucks shipping forgot that

[stable scarab]

Or in general really

[sharp crag]

yeah the collectors is alot, I'm fine with just the game

[inner bison]

for me im from canada so i ad to pay 100$ shipping plus the conversion of canadian money to usd

[nimble apex]

Oh nice. 💀

[magic rock]

Same I opted to get deluxe bc I don’t need more shit sitting in my shelves LOL I’ll spend the $ on skins

[inner bison]

but still worth it

[next blade]

Do the devs ever interact with us

[teal trellis]

yes

[vocal slate]

Yes but not much of a reason now

[teal trellis]

well in the nda chats anyway

[next blade]

How do you ask them stuff

[teal trellis]

type

[vocal slate]

What would you like to ask?

But yeah you type and it might be seen

[next blade]

The Gfn availability cause they haven’t stated anything

[teal trellis]

you probably wont know until its out

[vocal slate]

It may get answered, it may not

No for sure way to get them to come, I’m sure they’re busy

[next blade]

It comes out the day gfn updates their game library with new ones

[inner bison]

yea but take a look at the brand that does the thief figurine, they sell like 1k figurine, hi hqaulitty

[teal trellis]

perfect then!

[next blade]

Hopefully, only god knows

missing the state of play one probably the biggest regret of my entire life

[next blade]

You must live a good life then

[fierce falcon]

[vocal slate]

A firm “GOOD JOB”

[calm rune]

Top placements get sent a hard copy of all existing marathon lore from 1994 till now.

[loud pebble]

This closure may not be permanent. Don´t wrry is just a pause to give some rewards

[woeful bear]

A hug from the bungie team

[south fiber]

A letter from my little Pocket Infinity from the farm upstate

[uncut glen]

[digital island]

😀

[inner bison]

PureArts

[safe frost]

why do you have the equivalent of your social security number as your pfp. im taking it and using it for a loan <3

[inner bison]

ea dac lvl 6...

[jovial chasm]

i dont even think DACs can go up to 6

[inner bison]

not my real one

[bright dove]

Will dac 4 do anything 😢

[jovial chasm]

dunno thought 3 was the highest

[safe frost]

still gonna steal it <3

[junior fox]

more than 3 and less than 5. or nothing at all :/

[polar crater]

5 is the highest as of now

[bright dove]

I haven't seen a 5 but I heard of them

[polar crater]

But only a select few have them

[bright dove]

Yeah like the leads of the arg investigation

[inner bison]

i tink they are only 2

[jovial chasm]

mine is 3 so not 100% but im content with 3 out of 5

[south fiber]

I got 4

[safe frost]

hey a 3 out of 5 would be a pass im happy with that

[polar crater]

Unfort. I am only 4 🙁

[junior fox]

I got 4 only because of state of play 🙁

[past cloak]

4

[jovial chasm]

yeah i was bit busy that SoP day so didnt get to do it and the domino effect kneecapped me hard

[south fiber]

I think I got DAC 4 prior to SoP

[junior fox]

I got 4 doing all contracts from the beginning back in 2025

[jovial chasm]

did you do the ARG before this one?

[marble iron]

Anyone messaged yet?

[south fiber]

Yep

[jovial chasm]

yeah i didnt was before my interest of marathon wasn't formed at that time

[south fiber]

That's fair, but hey, you're here now ☺️

[stable scarab]

Im surprised they didnt do a larger arg leading up to release

[junior fox]

If you all had to guess, do you think rewards will be physical or digital? I hope same digital for all, only physical for top leaderboard

[junior fox]

it takes so much effort and resources from them

[jovial chasm]

very true, cant wait for the server slam and release, destroyer and thief are so gonna be my goto

[south fiber]

Hell yeah! I'm probably going Recon mainly, with a good helping of Rook

[safe frost]

rook rook rook rook rook

[uncut glen]

Wort wort wort

[jovial chasm]

Recon is a smart choice and rook is the little bot that could, and i love the new trailer they gave them.

[frosty marsh]

Thief. goop. more goop.

[calm shale]

on god marathon save me from embark hell

[south fiber]

So what has happened to ARC? I've seen a few people come in here from ARC and be relieved

[novel onyx]

Nothing game is just not* built for cod players

[calm shale]

theyre trying to cator to the care bear player base and nuking pvp, slow with updates and terrible balancing. happened in finals too

game lacks any tension now with abmm being so violent

[novel onyx]

the casual is more important to the company it's about bussiness

[calm shale]

yes thats obvious, but those casuals are the kind of players that will get bored looting the same places, killing the same arc without varation after 100 hours

pvp gives it replayability

[past cloak]

it has 232,958 players rn on steam

[delicate peak]

The 2 new arc is lazy design, copy and paste

[hollow dove]

Also arc’s approach to cheaters has been quite frustrating so it’s nice to see Bungie saying there’s not going to be second chances, plus dedicated serves and new anti cheat tech

[novel onyx]

tbh I like the insta ban but steam family exist unless its hardware and in D2 the AC sucks

[past cloak]

the peak being 372,367 players on steam

[south fiber]

Ah, fair enough

[marble iron]

with any big game an amount will be unhappy with the direction. im glad marathons out as itll give much needed competiton as ARC is like, basically the only non-extremely-hardcode extraction rn
