[hallow stream]

[tender haven]

I also think as someone that came from Arc there is a massive difference in the communities. For the most part this discord is filled with people that love the game and love talking about things. The Arc one is just constant whinging.

[random gale]

Tbf ABMM killed the game for me

[bright nexus]

oh come on be serious

[queen falcon]

It's all of these fuck ass bots....ugh

[rugged saffron]

The whining happens in a different channel here KALJSDFJSAKF

[random gale]

The serious answer is whenever you feel like it

[late sphinx]

from new players/bad players/people who dont even play the game

[rugged saffron]

Playing with a group will be way better than not playing with a group and if you find a group of people who aren't jerks you can learn from them instead of get yelled at by them

[tender haven]

Agreed. Every game started feeling the same. When I play Marathon every game feels different

[queen falcon]

Take a glance at #1478943087957905550 😂

[rugged saffron]

I will NOT

[hot belfry]

I’m ngl I kind of find it funny how marathons community is very chill even though it’s a heavy pvp game… meanwhile arc raiders is a heavy pve game with a toxic community

[hallow stream]

There is no limit to finding a dedicated trio. Find a team that's good but willing to teach u the game since u starting out.

[coarse rock]

If you're bothered by MIDA I really hope you haven't done Sekiguchi yet

[sudden stratus]

Cal this contested contract is gonna have me crashing the fuck out

[queen falcon]

I just hate their fuck ass contracts is all....lol

[late sphinx]

took a glance myself and im seeing so much "this mechanic should benefit me and me only, no i dont wanna adapt"

[tender haven]

Right??? I feel like its because we all AGREE its a pvp game and so there isnt any hard feelings. The arc bois are all arguing over whether its PVE or PVP

[rugged saffron]

I mean Marathon feels like "always fighting, very rarely peace"

ABMM is an interesting idea. Glad it's not in Marathon though.

[hallow stream]

Idk bout very chill. Some folks in #🗣marathon-general-chat give narcissist vibes.

[random gale]

I havent been called a slur in this game a single time
I got called a slur 7 times in the first play session in arc

[late sphinx]

every contract has me crashing tf out if its not just killing things

[rugged saffron]

breachdeez nuts

[coarse rock]

the first Sekiguchi primary is like the MIDA ones but much worse, when I finished that one I felt like I had really stepped up in this game lol, it was tough

[tender haven]

Correct but you now this going in. I dont think I've had anyone run away from me in Marathon or try to just hide other than solos maybe

[rugged saffron]

MFs that act friendly and shoot you anyway gotta be the worst scum in any prox chat game

[coarse rock]

Idk anything about Arc, what is ABMM?

[waxen igloo]

.

[hot belfry]

Someone let me finish a contract before killing me so that’s already better then most community’s I’ve been in

[hot belfry]

Aggression based matchmaking

[rugged saffron]

Agression based matchmaking. They put friendly players with other friendly players and PVP players with other PVP players

[unkempt depot]

aggression

[hallow stream]

Aggression based matchmaking. More violent u are, the more likely u put in violent oriented lobbies. Its a spectrum.

[dreamy juniper]

If you don't kill players you get put in lobbies where everyone else also doesn't kill players and vice versa

[coarse rock]

Oh that actually sounds cool

[tender haven]

We did that last night hahahaha
We let them finish the contract before we started beefing

[rugged saffron]

Dude that's based

[hot belfry]

Thanks 😭

[rugged saffron]

It's probably good for that game.

Would ruin some of the magic if it were in Marathon though

[turbid plover]

I need someone to tell me what automatic weapon kills blue shields in 2 shots otherwise this guy is fucking cheating

[queen falcon]

It's honestly just the map and the bots. Like there's a section between processing and air field that has like 6 turrets all covering each other, and a point just outside processing where LITERALLY 4 bits chased me after I went invis....fuckin shit heads.

[coarse rock]

I mean I don't want it, the issue for me is I'm against anything that fractures the playerbase between different modes, but it does sound interesting

[hallow stream]

I dont like ABMM imo. At least for this genre. Kinda removes the element of mystery and more organic interactions.

[queen falcon]

No....that aggressions based matchmaking was put in to cater to the casual PvE players that were complaining about being killed.

[tender haven]

Genuinely ABMM is the worst idea that the could have implemented. Something around gear value would have made sense but not how much you shoot at eachother

[coarse rock]

Yeah Outpost can be tough, I know where you're talking about, it gets better when you know the map really well but just remember it's designed to be a tougher map than the others

[hallow stream]

It isnt the worst idea for an extraction shooter but it definitely softens the experience. It reinforces the idea that your shit is basically Weenie Hutt Jr mode.

[lunar elbow]

Thermal sights work on assassin when they're in a smoke invis?

[tender haven]

And to elaborate : I did my expedition on ARC and so now I have to start all over again. However instead of being in lobbies where I can actually loot etc I'm verding people that havent done the reset and are GEARED to the teeth.

[bright nexus]

any of you have found a regular group by purely matchmaking trios?

[hallow stream]

Yes

[coarse rock]

As far as this ABMM, I guess I see it as an interesting thing because I'm about 99% aggressive. I've had a couple times where I heard some people in another room talking to each other saying like "its so nice to find some friendlies in solo finally" and I left them alone because I just would have felt really bad lobbing in a nade after that or something but for most interactions I'm shoot right away

[lunar elbow]

dumb af

[hallow stream]

Physics

[queen falcon]

Oh I know....I think I'm more frustrated that they give tasks this early to go there. I always liked how Tarkov did their endgame maps(Labs specifically), no quests there, had to pay to get in, but it had some REALLY good loot and always good pvp fights. Forcing people into the endgame with quests/tasks/what have you....just frustrating as all hell.

[coarse rock]

Yeah for some it's odd, like Sekiguchi first contract is Outpost and then the second one you can do on any map, would make for sense if for a 5 contract chain the final ones were on Outpost, not the first and then the second isn't...

[grand tinsel]

uhm guys i just got a new inbox messsage saying something about TC4 terrain data

[ocean shadow]

not dumb

[random gale]

[lunar elbow]

Longshot makes it lame af on Marsh, Teammates I get, But taking away the invisible characters only shtick is kind of dumb

[ocean shadow]

its not "taken away" at all

thermals are not visible light

[thick token]

BIG NEWS

[blissful fiber]

did everyones dac get reset??

[thick token]

MAIL CRYO PUZZLE THING IN THE MAIL

[coarse rock]

My DAC is not reset

[random gale]

My bad, how about we just delete his model from the game world while he's invisible so he can just not be seen at all and no one can fight back against his 60 second cooldown ability

[coarse rock]

also #breach-protocol for the ARG stuff

[obtuse star]

what is the mail about?

[blissful fiber]

i was dac lvl 4, 100th on the leaderboard or so and now i am dac lvl 3 nr 3200 on leaderboard :(

[glad vault]

fix this new noise I can't keep wipinjg out 4 teams and getting killed by the last idiots waiting

this game aint fun anymore already

[random gale]

why you playing it like a tdm

[blissful fiber]

nvm now im dac lvl 5, lol

[noble orbit]

Hey, I just got an ingame email that says SURVEY MODE UNLOCKED

[earnest hound]

killing everyone unironically is the only way to ensure safety

[glad vault]

i'm not a team walked up on us, we killed 3 of em as a group of 2 another team was sniping from far away I downed one and another third partied us and we killed them as a team of two, and the team sniping from far away that I downed one snuck up and I downed his buddy and finally the triage got me and rezzed his buddy and killed both of us because we're worn out from wiping out half the lobby. Fix this third partying already bad enough but when the entire lobby knows where you're at as soon as you shoot its terrible. Legit every game has been like this I haven't had a solid run in a while... Shit aint fun.

[fickle iron]

yeah me too what does it mean? is it ARG stuff?

[odd pawn]

whats this in game mail we just got?

[tender haven]

What map ? I havent had an issue since the update

[odd pawn]

it says to look at our surroundings and that there are entry points on all three maps?

[coarse rock]

It's not like a TDM because the kills aren't what matter, the loot is, if it was a TDM you wouldn't loot anything too much risk

[glad vault]

dire marsh, but legit I haven't had a good game since this sound update. Idk if it just attracts everyone to you as soon as you shoot

[coarse rock]

killing players is the best way to get loot though, and the funnest and most satisfying

[tender haven]

If you're going to run around and try to fight everyone you're gonna have a bad time haha

[glad vault]

we were looting and got walked up on probably because I had to shoot an AI or 2

[rough spire]

lets hope they improve the performance for this game, dire marsh is basically unplayable for me rn, and yeah ik its partly my fault cause of my specs but wow

[brave sinew]

Does anyone else have strange audio problems with the game? I can't hear proximity chat at all, and when I record the game there is no audio recorded. I don't have this issue with other games, so I know it's not the settings of the software.

[lunar elbow]

Marsh is the worst map rn with 3rd parties

[glad vault]

but funny

seems like 90% of contracts are on dire marsh

feel like i've had less of a problem on outskirts even... I don't get it.

[lunar elbow]

Honestly The teams all running a longshot are annoying af making it impossible to fight other teams without getting shot in the back or side

[grave spear]

The reason for so many partys on marsh isn't the audio update, but cause lockdown is the best "loot" event at the moment

[autumn rose]

Damn bro it’s been a week

[grave spear]

so geared people are just hopping in, killing potential interuptions, and doing event.

[autumn rose]

Is it that bad

[noble drum]

hey does anyone know how to fix the audio in this game, Im using bluetooth headphones and in discord and the game sounds not good

[glad vault]

thats another thing been trying to get in on a lockdown event but I haven't seen one in about 30 dire marsh runs

[brisk nova]

HEEEEYYYYYY did anyone else just get a message about "Survey Module Unlocked"????

[glad vault]

@autumn rose Ya, and bungie already doing too much listening to people that have no clue. Like reducing AI health pools when half the playerbase hasn't gotten full golds to even see what its like to be juiced out... Also the sound update. Absolute trash, I mean i'm glad they're listening in terms of reverting the sound back at least, but cmon.

[wind wave]

i absolutely dispise the prossecing rooftop quest

[autumn rose]

Wow

[grave spear]

nah, AI health pools in the open beta last year were way too high. It's in a good spot now and actually allows for "stealthy" play by using melee to 1 shot all weak ai, and break shields on blue ai

[echo plume]

Should I feel bad for killing rooks right before final extraction on outpost? I keep killing them but I never have time to loot their body

[grave spear]

Kill every rook on sight. they'd do the same for you

[glad vault]

when it first released a week ago you could do all of that just fine. @grave spear

[tender haven]

That is strange.... the audio in this game is insanely good

[tepid jungle]

can anyone tell me why I do not have the lux after i upgraded

[echo plume]

Fr they like to team up, been seeing duos + trios

There can be 5 or more rooks on outpost so I guess it makes sense to kill on sight

[noble drum]

when I played on console it was good but for some reason it having issues with my bluetooth headphones. Sounds like its trying to connect via phone call audio. only game I have this problem with

[grave spear]

also, "quality" level doesn't change weapon damage. So grey, green, blue, purp, gold.... none of that actually speeds up kill times for ai or players

[signal schooner]

Don’t feel bad about it at all.

That’s said, it’s fun to chance it sometimes and see if the Rook is friendly.

[echo plume]

Oof man Bluetooth headphones?? What’s the latency like on those?

[noble drum]

none usually

[grave spear]

The only time color quality matters is for shields which, again, didn't really effect pve fights cause you can just leave a pve zone to heal.

[echo plume]

that’s really good. main reason i’d stay away from Bluetooth headphones is

1. Latency and 2. The radiation

[knotty zenith]

yes what is it ?

[cosmic flume]

Radiation? Just pop a mechanics kit

[random gale]

the deluxe only comes with silk. the 150 lux was for the days long delay where people didnt get their deluxe items

[echo plume]

Facts 🤣

[grave spear]

So the comment of "should have waited till people started getting gold gear" to nerf ai health doesn't really work out. It just makes it so people can clear ai faster for the inevitable pvp interaction.

[knotty zenith]

yeye i know what it looks like i have it but idk what it is

[echo plume]

I feel like AI should have never been nerfed, but at the same time, doesn’t anyone have video proof to show how it was nerfed? The bots seem the same to me, and if anything they’d been moving more unpredictably since the update

[sudden lintel]

apparently i duplicated myself in the lobby?

[half wigeon]

if I don't have my DAC, how can I download it again?

[random gale]

why do people fucking talk about radiation and wireless tech like it actually affects your health. While RF is a form of radiation, it literally does nothing to you at the power we use for wireless communication. Light is radiation as well, are you trying to block out light?

[glad vault]

right, but more difficult AI deters PvP, I thought it was balanced beautifully on release the past week and it changed and I honestly haven't felt worse playing the game. So, i'm just ranting because theres people that didn't play it smart for the first week, complained, got what they wanted, and now the game feels sloppy.

[spice palm]

My dac isn’t loading in my msg from null// any fix

[glad vault]

whether it's because the changes, or I have a brain tumor and now i'm not as good or something, idk, but something doesn't feel right about the way my teams been getting screwed every match this second week.

[grave spear]

more difficult ai only defers to a point. When you have stealth/invis, ganking/3rd partying players while they fight the more difficutly ai makes it easier

there is a bell curve there

[queen falcon]

Goto #leaderboard and click the DAC button

[coarse rock]

If anyone is on PlayStation I just realized there's a free DLC pack in the PS Store that gives you 3 weapon charms, had no idea that was a thing

[brave sinew]

Alright, so, if you hear gunsots that means the person is very close to you? I've been using Tarkov logic, where gunshots can be heard from across the map. No wonder I die so much.

[grave spear]

Its the same reason why the map bosses in the cowboy extraction game are the most dangerous. Not cause the bosses are hard, but because it gives enemy players a good chance to ambush.

[random gale]

nah there's a recent change where it's like... half the map on perimeter. the whole map on outpost

[torpid flicker]

I know stickers are limited, are charms limited?

[coarse rock]

Yes charms are limited, and I really want them to change that

[random gale]

they wont, so they can resell them

[coarse rock]

I don't like that stickers are either, but I can live with limited stickers, limited charms just sucks though

@NEKU At the end of the day all i'm saying is they're the game devs, not us. It's been one week, they really need to make the changes they need to enact. Not what a few whiners in the community say. Because from week 1 - week 2 at least to me, it doesn't feel as good as it did.

what is uploading your DAC? I have had mine but what do people mean by uploading it?

[maiden drift]

it's part of one of the args

we started with index now we're on revival
its part of a bigger arg to unlock cryo archive

[proven compass]

oh is that waht the letter in my inbox was when i logged in today?

[maiden drift]

no the letter is for a different arg I'm trying to solve in https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1482848925680533575
if you could post the letters you got in that message there that would be greatly appreciated

they might be connected but not sure

[proven compass]

posted

[maiden drift]

this could also straight be a red herring but it's the easiest out of all the main args so far and no one else is doing it really so I might as well

everyone in #breach-protocol is focused on revival atm

[warm cradle]

Cryo Archive

[iron quail]

Sorry not sure if I'm supposed to ask here or a different channel, but my DAC keeps receieving invalid credentials. I am late to participate in this event so I dont know if I locked out, or if im doing something wrong. Could someone offer some assisstance?

Have you requested a new one? I got mine but as far as uploading goes, Ive tried using the default extension and a png but nothing is working.

[white timber]

is there any news about the sound patch that they silently put in place last night? can't hear gun shots from far away any more. hardly find teams on perimiter because of it.

how do you request a new one

Hey mate - I had a similar issue it does seem you need to have it plugged in or steam bugs out. If you plug it in make sure you download the PS software and update the controller firmware that can also help

[maiden drift]

to get your dac run /dac in this channel
to submit the contract codes (found here #new-noise message) run /contract and copy paste them in
be aware there is a 2 minute cooldown on /contract so you have to wait a bit each time you submit a code

[wispy terrace]

whats that about?

[maiden drift]

the dac is only used for args that require it to be uploaded to a website like the current revival arg

Is the contracts channel for the ARG? Obviously it all references the Cryo Archives, or is it actual quests once the map launches? Apologies if this is a repetitive question, I've been looking for a minute and can't find anything.

[maiden drift]

[forest lance]

I need help i cant enter this game i just bought it and i cant see a soultion online

[maiden drift]

it's just a shitty joke there's much worse going around here

[gentle crane]

Because when I was in Paris all I heard was how good the food was and it was just expensive breads and dumbass cheeses with soups that I can’t pronounce.

It’s caused me to loathe them until my dying day.

[hazy zodiac]

so leave tf 😂

[tender haven]

*one person posts something about a french man (not a race btw)

"DAMN I DIDNT KNOW THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS RACIST"

[forest lance]

I tried that and still wont start.. i saw on support some guy from Bungie just said thanks for letting us know

[gentle crane]

The only Frenchman that I will not terminate with extreme prejudice whenever I take power is Olivier Creed, whose fragrances helped me meet my wife.

His bloodline alone will be allowed to persist.

The rest of France will be turned into a Bass Pro Shop.

[quaint frost]

look i think any actual French person knows such a line is a stupid yank falsehood anyways so they would just disregard it and eat/smoke their baguette

[tender haven]

Does it just not run at all? Like does it show it as running on steam ?

[deft terrace]

hey when I load into the game i have some missing graphics and textures that are all black, does anyone know a fix?

[forest lance]

It does for maybe 5 10 seconds and it stops

[viral perch]

it still makes me feel weird and sad and annoyed that there are still bigots and that nobody is taking any action against racist targeted attacks

[tender haven]

Make sure windows isnt blocking something

[forest lance]

Ill check now

[quaint frost]

yeah fk ur Duck Dynasty pedestrian outlook, dumb yank!!

[tender haven]

No one is being racist jesus christ

[quaint frost]

tfw you need a resource that only spawns in pinwheel or medical lockers

[maiden drift]

tfw you have to go into pinwheel and uesc gangbangs u

[random gale]

the uesc? 😂

[coarse rock]

For pinwheel I just wait til someone else opens it and sneak in

[maiden drift]

that or a trio with wstrs

[coarse rock]

I did try to open it myself once but playing solo I was not ready for all those UESC, think I could handle it in the future I just had no idea it would be so many

they should add killstreaks like call of duty

[tidal lagoon]

somehow after a week convince them to play
they like it

[glad mirage]

I wasn't a hater, but I said the tired phrase of "I wish this wasn't a live service game, I don't care to play an extraction shooter and want something SP." I even bounced off of the first play test when I touched it.

[forest lance]

Nothing is being blocked..

[glad mirage]

But I loved it almost immediately after my second run or so

[coarse rock]

When you have to keep selling stuff in your vault because you're trying to grind free kit skins and your vault is full 🤡

[hollow lance]

try harder.

[forest lance]

I dont know what to do anymore, i cant launch it no mather what i do

[spiral light]

explode

[arctic dock]

“I wish this wasn’t a live service game, I don’t care to play an extraction shoot and want something SP”

[floral mesa]

make yourself throw up

[hollow lance]

There has to be a kit for that.

[tender haven]

Interesting. If you've already verified the files then you can always try to re-install

[arctic dock]

So concord 3 when

[forest lance]

Ill try that now, hopefully that helps

[glad mirage]

eh, fuck all that doomerism hoping this thing will fail

[hollow lance]

You made Concord fail.

[forest lance]

Thank you for help

[glad mirage]

This game's good. I'm glad people are playing it.

[tidal lagoon]

Marathon is the Concord of bad games, the Highguard of low player numbers.

[arctic dock]

Nu uh, I made concord a freaky game 😏

[tender haven]

Only reason I say re-install is MAYBE windows fucked something on install and verifying wont help. Let me know how you go

[jovial cliff]

traxus sponsored kit needs to be removed. nothing you can do with a grey hardline. shit is ass

[arctic dock]

HUH

[tender haven]

It slaps. SO much fun every single run

[floral mesa]

interesting way to tell everyone you not very good on 5ive twin

[civic charm]

went on a date today. she was not the one. didn’t understand when I pulled out the marathon steam charts. called me a “weirdo” for doing the important work of critical analysis on player counts every 30 minutes, sacrificing my time for the greater good. I bet she doesn’t even know I mod the /r/gaming subreddit at the same time. multitasking is nothing for me. but fine, leave.

[arctic dock]

Hell na it’s good

[jovial cliff]

what is 5ive

[tidal lagoon]

Only thing this game needs is more maps.
FFS 3 maps total, with one being some more end game one, it maddening.
How many times do I need to have team deathmatch in Hauler?

[tender haven]

The Copypasta we didn't know we needed.

[viral perch]

agreed

[jovial cliff]

interesting that you think i'm in the "newby chatroom" to impress you

[arctic dock]

Aww look at the wittle baby

[zinc arrow]

“newby” chat room 💔🧏🏻‍♀️

[signal bough]

this is just better general LMAO

[coarse rock]

For me this is just better general chat, the general chat moves too fast and gives me a headache so I started hanging out here, better vibes anyway

[spiral light]

i have a bunch of bugs under my hat

[fierce mortar]

Be me a new player
I run into another Runner team
I die in one shot

[arctic dock]

I mean anything with a lil bit of race istm is better than general

[fierce mortar]

Bro just give me a chance when I'm playing this game, goddamn

[tidal lagoon]

I am a little baby runner, I only have a grey volt punch, I don't even have a single core, please don't kill me I need to spraypaint 'UESC SUXS" for GANTRY. :^((((((((((((

[late sphinx]

that, and the 30 second cooldown

[arctic dock]

That’s why you gotta get out the shotgun

[coarse rock]

Don't worry I just came up BEHIND a destroyer at match start in solos, confidently missed like 10 shots in a row and he killed me, couldn't have played it worse tbh

[stoic kite]

can we still get the drinkable cheeseburger background or is that perma gone

[random gale]

who knew that begging for your life as a rook lets you live

[arctic dock]

How dare you, the UESC is amazing I hope they become a playable faction so we can ruin peoples day and role play as police

[proven compass]

power went out in the middle of a run

[zinc arrow]

[tidal lagoon]

Just LARP as UESC when playing Rook.

[viral perch]

/playtest

[civic charm]

We already have UESC class at home.
It's called rook

[arctic dock]

lol

[random gale]

i was at the end of drone wing with it closed 😭

[late sphinx]

maybe killing enough runners as Rook unlocks Orion as a contractor...

[viral perch]

/get_playtest_demo_code_ closed beta

guys how can i sign up for the closed beta test

[arctic dock]

I bet UESC is sponsoring this game

[zinc arrow]

i get you had to do what you had to do to survive it just so happened to be a bitchathon moment

[proven compass]

wait does rook spawn in matches in progress?

[viral perch]

[civic charm]

only shell that does

[zinc arrow]

[proven compass]

[lapis veldt]

yes

[random gale]

you also only spawn into trios

[light scroll]

rook spawns in from minute 17-ish to minute 10-ish in active trio lobbies

[viral perch]

sometimes i want a girlfriend

[light scroll]

i do not know if rooks have a number cap but personally ive seen 4 active at once on outpost

[coarse rock]

Would make more sense for Sekiguchi to sponsor it than anyone, Shell sales through the roof

[hollow lance]

Ngl, just stick to a sponsored kit.

[viral perch]

u think they're selling these shells?

[coarse rock]

Yeah otherwise why would all the factions have customized versions of em

[viral perch]

is there a faction skin for every shell?

[coarse rock]

Yes from the free kits

[random gale]

yes, for running with a sponsored kit
well, besides rook

[viral perch]

arachne doesnt have a skin

[random gale]

it will

[iron sundial]

definite quest based matchmaking

[coarse rock]

Arachne is less a faction and more a way of life

[random gale]

[restive spear]

arachne NEEDS a skin. How else am I suppose to have a dope red & black cult skin for my vandal

[viral perch]

their skins arent red and black, the twitter already released a triage wip picture

It doesn't make sense though that Traxus is red/black and not orange/black

[restive spear]

Idk what happened at bungie but theyve been puttin in work and listening alot

[noble orbit]

that doesn't explain much 🙁

[devout fjord]

if you do /dac in this chat and the bot will send it!

[civic charm]

[torn crag]

you have to complete contracts to level up your DAC

[unkempt dune]

are the servers about to die??? this lag is making me vomit

[dense rune]

in any chat on this discord server?

[noble orbit]

how do I complete them???

[torn crag]

its arg stuff, you have to do puzzles

[devout fjord]

i think that it's just this one but i'm not totally sure lol. it'll be visible only to you

[viral perch]

RUNNAH

[frail quartz]

i tried and it failed and now i have a 1hr timer before i can try and see my dac again

[random gale]

sony was put in charge instead of their dumb ass execs from the destiny days that told the devs not to do shit the players would enjoy

[torn crag]

then you get a uuid which is formated like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx you go to #leaderboard click [contract] and enter the uuid

[dense rune]

omg it worked thank you so much:D

[stuck pulsar]

Encountered my first seeming cheater. Took 42 hours though. Better than most shooters these days.

[viral perch]

i feel like the bungie suits arent involved in marathon, otherwise they woudl've picked a less niche genre

[calm mulch]

Anyone know where to find the stryder outside of pinwheel?

[tidal lagoon]

be bungie game
my vault is full
Why does it keep happening

[restive spear]

haha now that makes alot more sense! Felt like a switch had suddenly been flicked. Thank god for this change then.

[viral perch]

fixing it this week

[random gale]

if you hover over the quest step it'll usually give you a more detailed explanation

[restive spear]

btw ive been playing for 30 hrs so far, and I keep seeing this term "POI". What does that stand for?

[random gale]

point of interest

[scenic hearth]

Point of Interest, any named location on the map

[viral perch]

people outside inside

[restive spear]

ahhh okay main area type of deal

[scenic hearth]

North/South Relays/Overflow/Station on Perimeter, etc

[calm mulch]

Not a quest, just the gun. I’ve only found 2 in about 50 hours. Both in pinwheel

[random gale]

oh

[jaunty scroll]

Anyone put it together yet?

Hi

[spiral light]

what

[mild mountain]

I’ve had decent luck finding them in generic arms lockers. There’s a building in bio research on marsh that spawns several if you get decently lucky.

smaller building on the side closest to complex, connected to the main building by the long catwalk.

[autumn rose]

Dead game

[karmic beacon]

anyone getting connection issues?

[coarse rock]

I am remembering wrong or in server slam wasn't there a "use sponsored kit" button on the queue up screen?

[stuck pulsar]

For whatever reason i remember it automatically equipping one if you had one in the bank.

[coarse rock]

Something like that I swear...

[autumn rose]

Don’t clown me cuz ur angry

[stuck pulsar]

Maybe folk disliked having to unequip them all the time or something so they changed it

[coarse rock]

You want to see a dead game look up Reflex Arena (RIP) on steam charts

[mild mountain]

you’re objectively just wrong but this is just a miserable attempt at baiting responses

[random gale]

nah it just automatically equipped a random one

[coarse rock]

and even Reflex Arena was actually playable and had matches going with peak players at 120

[static oak]

I think once you pass a certain level it stops. Dunno fs tho

[stuck pulsar]

I have em ignored I think they're just begging for attention.

[autumn rose]

Look at the player drop

[coarse rock]

all games have a playerbase drop after launch, literally everything

[mild mountain]

“look at the player drop” go outside and look at some grass instead of wanting something to fail lol.

[jovial cliff]

u need therapy if u go in as rook and fake friendly other rooks

[coarse rock]

go look at the 1-5y view of any successful game you'll see a downward trend, it's almost like that's what happens with games

[jovial cliff]

u need therapy if u fake friendly in any situation. tell your therapist

[random gale]

what drop? besides the first day or two the game has basically had a flat line

[autumn rose]

If this is marathons peak then sony wasted their money with bungie

[coarse rock]

yep first few days drop then its steady, just like any other game

[potent ledge]

True, the game is like just alright

[coarse rock]

Do you work for Sony? You the CEO? The CFO? Why do you care?

[karmic beacon]

go back to arc lolol

[jovial cliff]

@potent ledge @autumn rose yet you are wasting your sunday trolling a marathon discord

that is more sad than sony losing millions of dollars

[mild mountain]

60k concurrent steam users is a reasonable number.

but I don’t care about a games player charts lol. I care about if I like the game I’m playing and if it feels like it’s worth my time. this game feels worth my time.

The Finals is one of the better FPS games that’s came out lately and it doesn’t have a crazy player count lol.

[potent ledge]

I am not trolling, i just checked the discord which i do now and then, and agreed with a take

[coarse rock]

I'd play if it had 500 players, as long as I'm getting matches I don't even need to look at the charts

[random gale]

also we knew sony wasted their money when all the retention incentives went to the suits after they fired all the people sony paid to not leave

[silver perch]

When is update?

[dawn portal]

yo guys does this server have lfg channels?

[autumn rose]

Telling the truth = trolling holy cope

[jovial cliff]

i have second hand embarrassment for blackice

[karmic beacon]

might be maintainence for the update or something

[jovial cliff]

thanks for letting us know you just have absolutely nothing going on in your life. sad. alone. miserable.

[quartz tulip]

hes cheered me up at least

[earnest hound]

many such cases 😔

[karmic beacon]

if i was awful at this game id hate it too

[steep solstice]

If im being brutally honest this game is pretty decent a solid 7 out of 10

[signal bough]

i like when i go on the map and shoot the guy and get the loot

[karmic beacon]

after playing this and arc i can fully say that this is more enjoyable

[quartz tulip]

ill giv it a 8 and hope the next maps are up to par

[fluid flume]

it's the only extraction shooter i've actually enjoyed so far

[quartz tulip]

its not even close for me the pvp in this is 100x better than arc

[coarse rock]

for me this is a 10/10 game, I haven't been this into an FPS in years where I wanted to play every second of my time

[autumn rose]

I said give this game a month but it only took a week

[steep solstice]

Me too

[karmic beacon]

yeah arc got stale too fast. only so much fun you can have when theres zero buildcrafting

[coarse rock]

I liked Tarkov but I always knew it wasn't really my type of game, this is

[signal bough]

Tarkov doesn't have Destroyer in it so it's worse

[fluid flume]

i was fully ready to be disappointed by this game but the exact opposite happened

[coarse rock]

Yeah I was like hm I guess I'll give this a try and probably drop it after a day, but played nonstop in slam

[mild mountain]

most folks who have put meaningful hours into the game have really enjoyed it

[karmic beacon]

im a huge fan of the originals so this is like a dream comme true

[mild mountain]

people have gotten so used to just getting spoon fed everything that they lose their mind when something has a learning curve

[fierce mortar]

MArathon is to Bungie as Modern Quake is to iD

[steep solstice]

The core gameplay loop is pretty addicting. I remember being addicted to tarkov when that came out but that quickly faded when ai became too strong and shoot you dead with a shotgun across the map

[karmic beacon]

i cant wait to see how they flesh out the sph't and jjaro in this game

[jovial cliff]

i'm lvl 60 atm. only thing i would change is minor improvements to dire marsh rotations between highway/algea ponds

get rid of traxus free kit as well (i play with newb friends a lot)

[steep solstice]

Do you think well fight aliens

[quartz tulip]

prob before the ep files are released

[karmic beacon]

no doubt the compiler is the boss of cryo

[coarse rock]

I am usually a singleplayer game person but played FPS a lot in the past a long time back, this is how much I enjoy this game - I was about 80% through FFXVI before this game went into server slam, and I was really loving that game, I haven't touched it since this released. Keep saying I need to finish it and here I am every day, every second of free time playing this.

[karmic beacon]

the cosmic horror aspect reminds me of pre witness destiny

[open frigate]

I wonder if they'll have their own mode?

[mild mountain]

I think jd like duo queue but at the same time 2v3 isn’t too hard and it’s one less person I have to split loot with lol.

[quartz tulip]

yeah u get fat fast playin duo

[sweet seal]

ill take a competent teammate over extra gear any day lol. bungie gonna take it at the end of the season anyway

[humble gorge]

check the map list

[mild mountain]

unfortunately those are in short supply.

[opal whale]

is the redacted map new?

[polar grove]

not really, just dont use randos. use discords to find teammates. takes a few mins extra but after doing that a few times youll have a list of people to play with

[opal whale]

i went to have dinner came back and its there

[signal finch]

new map is now listed as “redacted” on the menu, probably not far off getting it

[restive spear]

Does gaining the fall resistance upgrades from Cyac have much of an actual effect on fall damage?

[mild mountain]

and build relationships outside of the ones I already enjoy? there’s just too much effort at that point!

[forest lance]

Still not working

I think it’ll be blue. because cold.

new map is on the UESC marathon, looks like we'll be fighting sph't enemies alongside UESC

[restive spear]

I bet itll appear once I go to work 😂

[restive spear]

Now thats interesting. Fighting something else other than just UESC? Dear god I hope so

[fierce mortar]

Does this mean there's a new enemy faction that appears as part of the PvE experience?

its done! check your maps in game

[thorny frost]

it was part of the bunch that released friday, not new

[rough aspen]

it's still locked 😭

://REDACTED

[sudden stratus]

that wasn't there before though

[urban tendon]

was meant to post this in breach protocol anyway, but I'll leave it here

[golden vine]

/confirminfluence POWER

[turbid plover]

At least we know the requirements now, you need to have established contact with all factions aka complete introducing: faction and be level 25

[small trench]

you saying the map is launchable under outpost?

[thorny frost]

from desc text of cryo archive map in-game:

:// analysis: uesc marathon signal activity detected.[...]secure)))~231o614]?//~~0xxx3129access does not require permission...
:// run sig patt disrupt 000000132

[polar crater]

not yet!

[small trench]

ok ok figured you were talking bout something else. newbie here

[solid osprey]

So the ARG is done and we just need to wait for the map to open?

[thorny frost]

oh presevation unlocked, more arg gogogo

[small trench]

they just gonna let us free kit it💀

[pure holly]

I love my best friend with all my heart, iv known this dude since middle school. But if he sells another raid where we are all rocking fully packed purple back packs I might just need to make him not exist anymore

[young arrow]

i dont think it is complete?

[brave forge]

CRYO IS PREPPED FOR UNLOCK

[dull acorn]

did the redacted zone just appear or am I just now noticing it?

[silk abyss]

just appeared

[turbid plover]

it's been like 20 mins or something

[pure slate]

MUST BE VIP WITH ALL FACTIONS + LVL58 TO ACCESS

[turbid plover]

real

[scarlet sandal]

Doubt

[pure slate]

me when I lie (often)

[turbid plover]

it's lvl 25 + unlock all factions, but either way real

[turbid plover]

spreading misinformation for sport is admirable

[jaunty scroll]

Lore drop the UESC is run by the irish?

[dim moss]

up the ra

[edgy leaf]

stop whining about the shotgun, what really is op is the knife

[turbid plover]

dw people whine about it too

[warm fractal]

bought the game game lagged on medium setting on rtx 3050 so i refunded hope they optimise it like arc raiders so ill buy it again then

[brave forge]

OH NO

[jaunty scroll]

The general in the 3/4 audio log for equitable distribution is irish

[turbid plover]

one of the sanest things I've read in this channel

[small trench]

have they been time gating every step for the arg?

[flat copper]

well if you're lagging, its your internet that needs sorted

[thorny frost]

lord this puzzle step is bananas

[misty sigil]

Yo, some info about the xbox playerbase: only 7.5% have completed 35 contracts

[turbid plover]

pretty much yeah

[sullen wolf]

the xbox achievement stats arefunny

[shrewd glacier]

what does this mean, how do i do this?

[warm fractal]

was really intersted but the fps drop when someone shoots at me got me annoyed so i refunded arc raiders runs on high settings for me this game cant be that graphic demanding for a shoother game

[thorny frost]

some, we just cleared revival and it unlocked preservation

[misty sigil]

Have you had a look at a few of the stats?

[restive spear]

Any good solo runners to watch on youtube?

[small trench]

dammm now we got to stay active just in case

[sullen wolf]

I’ve seen screenshots

[thorny frost]

last time they included a message that suggested waiting until today

[ember rose]

i wish i knew the current state of things so i could help out and participate

[misty sigil]

Ok so what was your take on the numbers

[small trench]

but with all the marketing im guessing their timing sponser streams for a specific date when they want to launch cryo archive, no?

[sullen wolf]

they’re funny there’s like more people who have died than exfilled/skipped the tutorial 😭

[zinc pecan]

is there any where to get a recap on the ARG if i missed the beginning of it ?

[cyan sparrow]

anyone has cluds about unlocking cryo?

[turbid plover]

there are some known issues with the game that makes it run like shit for some people, it's some serious spaghetti from what I can tell so it might take a while
I'm genuinely shocked that you just saw that game runs like shit and decided to refund it instead. Though I shouldn't be, this should be the norm lol

[misty sigil]

Absolutely I imagine they wanted the beggining to be focus on launch stability. I think this is why they asked game reviewers to hold their reviews as well

[thorny frost]

they gave a range "mid to late march" but this arg looks like it'll unlock it, so whenever we do it it's done

[small trench]

skarrow9 youtuber has a playlist and a recent update if its hard for anyone in here to explain

[thorny frost]

streamers should be watching the arg'ers and getting ready

[turbid plover]

They do lol

[small trench]

the hope is rising homes

[zinc pecan]

Thank you! My brain isnt big enough to get involved. But i LOVE seeing the community come together and solve stuff like this.

[proven compass]

Bruh i was about to go to bed wdym there's a new map about to unlock 😭

[turbid plover]

It won't be today dw, we have 2 more steps to solve

[proven compass]

tbh i was assuming next saturday. or tuesday based on destiny stuff

[turbid plover]

most likely

[proven compass]

i suppose to could do 2 more runs since im up now 😏

[turbid plover]

oh shit people are actually working on one of them already

[gilded maple]

how does one do these Dac contrsacts from discord?

[small trench]

resets are on thursday i think

[turbid plover]

I mean, I don't think marton today... I'm tired.

[proven compass]

that's gonna be so weird to get used to given 10 years of destiny

[small trench]

too bad their both weird days for my brain lul. like why is monday getting so much hate bro

[proven compass]

nobody wants to do serious work on a monday man. i do IT and we all use it as a slack day lmao

[small trench]

BUT ITS THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK! but i will cope and try to get through it

[misty sigil]

How tf only 82% of xbox players complete or skip first run

20% haven't died

[spare turtle]

i should be getting more frames than i am

[misty sigil]

Doubt

[thorny frost]

type /contract, disc will show you the rest. pasting in uuid codes is the thing, figure out the code and submit to complete contracts for fun points

[small trench]

yall should try to read the new arg pdfs lol

[limber shuttle]

how to we save our DAC to upload it on tauceti.world? my DAC is saving as a webp file and that isn't working on the website

[gilded maple]

where do i type /contract?

[spare turtle]

7700x and 9070 yes

[limber shuttle]

you can press the contract button in #leaderboard and it'll prompt you to put in a code

[misty sigil]

You lyin

[spare turtle]

lol fasho

[gilded maple]

ok ill try to figured that out thanks

[limber shuttle]

the codes for the current contracts are on twitter and they were enough to get me to level 2. there's a 2 min cooldown between submitting codes tho

[turbid plover]

#new-noise message

And twitter steals it from this server

[limber shuttle]

LOL

[buoyant dove]

5060 / I514400f and im also getting 65-70 FPS InGame 🙁 still cant imagine stop play the game

[vast vector]

It's okay. same fps too

[quick stag]

is use a 1050 basic and get 60 fps

[zinc juniper]

5060ti 16gb / i7 12700KF getting 110 max. their working on the issue with newer hardware. they admitted that they prioritized older hardware to ensure it was working for everyone so 50 series optimization is dogshit rn

[viral crystal]

Is there a way to see your points and contracts completed in the leaderboard?

[turbid plover]

Just realised that there is about to be a new wave of insufferable people that complain about cryo not being open yet

[silent vault]

WHY IS NOT MARATHON MAP READY 0/10

[zinc arrow]

💔💔

[buoyant dove]

I hope so. for me it dosnt matter bc im addicted but my friends wont hop in bc of that :c

[turbid plover]

Like vro we're trying 😭

[bold ether]

whats up with the crashes??? get about 10 raids.. then the 11th is a crash.. seems weird

luckily we can load back in lol

[buoyant dove]

didnt had one since release 💀 but yeah thank god they let us reconnect

[random gale]

finally decided to use my two outpost keys

[sweet kraken]

does anyone have any idea what the skin releasing schedule for marathon would be like

[random gale]

Only soul I saw was some dead vandal outside processing with no loot bag

[summer kindle]

worse than destiny

[neat sage]

Hey guys i receieved a new message in game that has a word puzzle to put together

[zinc juniper]

they sound insufferable lmao

[neat sage]

anyone found it??

[summer kindle]

pc players when they dip 1 fps below 70 be like

[scarlet temple]

Ew 70fps is horrible lol.

[summer kindle]

i am pkaying at sub 60 most of the time because of the dogshit optimization for mid end, what do you mean your friends ate that elitists lmao

[random gale]

its a good thing they did because I get into the 40s on outpost with a 2060 and a 9600k lol

[scarlet temple]

I'm usually at 160-200fps thankfully

[summer kindle]

ew this player plays thw game at the fps he can how such a horrendous fact

[earnest hound]

playing a heavy pvp shooter at under 100fps crazy work im not gonna lie

[jovial cliff]

people spawn in as rook to rat other rooks instead of looting up or playing solos 💀

[summer kindle]

nvidia shill be like

[buoyant dove]

how 🫠

[random gale]

my bad for not spending 20 gajillion dollars on a scalped gpu and then missing the short period where prices were normal before AI took all the fucking RAM

[summer kindle]

according to ign the eyes cant see above 30

[scarlet temple]

Dunno I have a 9800x3d and 64gb of ram and a 4080 super using dlss 4.5 override

[summer kindle]

fucking exactly

[buoyant dove]

there is my answer 😄

[summer kindle]

ah yes the magic press dlss for good framerate button gaymeerrrr

[scarlet temple]

Dlss looks better for anti asliasing than anything else so of course I'm going to use it?

[random gale]

real. developers need to optimize for NATIVE hardware and then allow DLSS to go beyond their optimizations

[summer kindle]

read what midwest just typed

[frail olive]

Hey I just downloaded marathon, I have been sitting on the loading screen to enter my first match after the tutorial for like the last 5 minutes

Am I doing something wrong potentially? My internet is pretty good

[summer kindle]

you arent even running thw game at native or even 900p you are running it at 720 and looking like 1440 because dlss is just that absurdly overkill

[scarlet temple]

I don't disagree at all. Devs need to optimize their shit for everyone and not rely on things like dlss to carry the burden

[random gale]

thats insane considering it only needs to match you with like 6 people 😭

[oak kayak]

Where do the medical cabinets spawn? This been driving me nuts

[random gale]

yes

[summer kindle]

try to relaunch it a fww times thats a new bug i havent heard

[scarlet temple]

Your bio says you have mental health problems. Might I ask which? If you don't mind sharing.

[summer kindle]

which region, tell me which part of the world are you from

[jovial cliff]

what is dlss 4.5 override

I am only getting 170fps at 2k resolution

[polar grove]

dont ask anyone that in a public forum lol

[scarlet temple]

Using Nvidia app to force marathon to use dlss 4.5

[random gale]

the only official one is ADHD 😂

[summer kindle]

if you are SA welcome to the club every matchmaking on SA is 3 minutes at minimun and over 8 at worst:D

[scarlet temple]

Ah I too suffer with adhd. But also bipolar and anxiety. I feel you brother.

[crystal coral]

hee hee hee har

[jovial cliff]

what does this mean

[summer kindle]

south america holy shit

[dry tusk]

Eyes can see and tell the difference between 120-240

[random gale]

hank dont abbreviate South America, don't abbreviate South America HAAAAAANK

[ripe zodiac]

☠️ '

[urban pebble]

Has anyone decoded the numbers on preservation yet

[polar grove]

region my dude

[polar grove]

just another reason to use the info they provide as joke material lol

[earnest hound]

I'm pretty sure they know and it was a joke if the ign mention didn't clue you in

[summer kindle]

my gpu cant even reqch 70 on most nowadays shit, go complain with the devs to let me see above 100 then

[dire violet]

Crypto archive out when?!

[forest walrus]

when is the new map gonna come out i got so many keys for it

[misty sigil]

As a player who has been told there is gear based matchmaking, can anyone elaborate?

[random gale]

It doesnt exist

[forest walrus]

i dont thuink thats true i run gold shield and gold augments and get matched into free kits

[earnest hound]

nobody knows how matchmaking works is the only real answer

[polar grove]

it doesnt exist

[scarlet temple]

Good to know

[quick stag]

bro you living under some kinda tech blog hype that you have little understanding of

[random gale]

what mf named themselves off of soy sauce 😭

[edgy leaf]

Every single fucking game i load into its freekits, lvl 50+ people still stay in freekits. this game showers you with so much loot its just insane to me how I have to team with gray shields still

[summer kindle]

its based on waiting for the rich guy of the team to die to steam his shit later

[quick stag]

this mf the provider of the salty sauce

[dusky flax]

Need help. Stuck on loading screen every time I load up

[forest walrus]

i think some people dont know how important quest are i have 3 factzions on VIP i get purple backpacks and shields on regular basis when i rank them up

[summer kindle]

ooohhh

[polar grove]

or and hear me out here, work together and dominate the match and split the spoils of war?

[summer kindle]

split
online game

whoever comes first gets the half DMG green shield that's the rule

[forest walrus]

it works if you have 2 mates you play with always we always do it that the guy who kills takes whgat he wants and the others the rest we just be wiping lobbys counting teams left 🤓

[summer kindle]

it works if you have friends 🤓☝️

[polar grove]

ahh youre playing with randos then yes i guess that would be the case.

[forest walrus]

yea random teammates tthe bag is empty before you arrive there

[quick stag]

my squad kinda lets me get first pick off loot then cleans the corpse

[random gale]

purple shields slow you down 😫

[scarlet temple]

Do they?

[random gale]

-15 agility and heat

[scarlet temple]

Oh damn

[visual island]

Yeah the have a negative agility and heat

[summer kindle]

they are purple, its a slow color

[visual island]

But you can use implants to counter them

[minor furnace]

actually that's false

[summer kindle]

imagine needing that

[summer kindle]

lemme bait in peace

[edgy leaf]

yeah well 90% of games I load into its no shields

[scarlet temple]

Don't bait too much it'll go raw

[random gale]

ok looky looky we have mr i exfil more than 50% of the time 😂

[summer kindle]

ok nvidia shill now go back to queue on your insta matchmaking region on your almighty master race

[brave sinew]

I just died because I thought a player was a uesc, so I walked up to him to stab him. He was just standing there in the middle of the room, lol.

[forest walrus]

#📽️run-clips message

this is with gold shield i play thief with the core that gives agility with stuff in the backpack so your even faster its still pretty damn good stats 🗣️

[quick stag]

@random galeyou just live to be salty aye, i see why you where intrested in my name

[scarlet temple]

How am I an Nvidia shill? I hate them I'd much rather have the next gpu amd puts out.

[quick stag]

dudes just filled with misinformation lol

[summer kindle]

uses dlss

[random gale]

soy sauce is goated frfr

[vagrant fjord]

did cryo just drop

[forest walrus]

😂

[scarlet temple]

Because it's what I have for a gpu right now so yeah I use it lol

[quick stag]

atleast you accurate on that

[summer kindle]

seriously you have no idea how good is dlss until you lose it

[random gale]

what am i misinforming abt 😭

[quick stag]

purple being a slow color

[random gale]

fsr 3+ is pretty good

[scarlet temple]

Fsr isn't far behind and I'm sure their next iteration of it will be even better

[random gale]

not as good as dlss but it is much better than fsr 1 and 2

[quick stag]

no idea what that even is lol

assuming some kinda rendering software ?

[random gale]

fsr is AMDs version of DLSS

[quick stag]

i see i use a 1050 with no bells

[random gale]

1050 💀

[earnest hound]

wtf

[quick stag]

i get 60 frames and sweep my lobbys

[random gale]

but yeah DLSS is deep learning super sampling
machine learning upscaling basically

[quick stag]

intresting

im partially blind so i never worry to much about that type of thing if im not frame dropping im happy i dont have to see people clearly to murder them

[atomic spindle]

Can you still level up your DAC or was that a prelaunch thing?

[polar grove]

that will change, def start hoarding shields when you can. imo its the most important piece of equipment we have. having a shield vs not having one is a huge game changer for pvp.

[wooden mesa]

I wan recon to have a combat roll into crouch ability so I can look cool

[viral isle]

is there no LFG channel on this disc?

[random gale]

purple shields are +80 health

[earnest hound]

there is but you gotta opt in, click on channels and roles at the top

[quick stag]

while i can agree i love coming in free kit wiping people in blue and leaving a lobby with 15-20k in stuff with no investment

[polar grove]

def time to upgrade man lol

[viral isle]

wild i was auto opted out of halve the discord xD thanks

[quick stag]

i plan to buy a whole new rig coming up planning to drop like 2-3k

no idea how much that will get me in the gpu armageddon but we will see

[polar grove]

what ya thinking of getting? i need to upgrade my 2080super as well just cant find a suitable replacement i like that wont break the bank lol

[quick stag]

i was looking at the battle mage tbh

[knotty viper]

Yo, wassupp

[polar grove]

gpu?cpu? ram? lol

[civic charm]

went on a date today. she was not the one. didn’t understand when I pulled out the marathon steam charts. called me a “weirdo” for doing the important work of critical analysis on player counts every 30 minutes, sacrificing my time for the greater good. I bet she doesn’t even know I mod the /r/gaming subreddit at the same time. multitasking is nothing for me. but fine, leave.

[quick stag]

i dont remeber the series but there was a newer one i was hearing great things about the bench marks i was seeing had it performing with a 5050 its a underated gpu from what i was told

[knotty viper]

5070 regular for 700-900 good buy

[quick stag]

and im likely to keep my 32 gb of ddr5 corsair and my gpu at the i9 13th gen idk will look at prices and take it at a time

[little cobalt]

Is the redacted map unlockable rn?

[polar grove]

its all breaks down to what do you want it to be able to do preformance wise? i can offer some suggestions. budget builds that preform great are basically my hobby lol

[knotty viper]

run everything ultra in 2k

[quaint frost]

think the ARG folks are still working on stuff

[polar grove]

it can be done, not cheap but we can get you there lol

[viral isle]

those are some real big brain people

[little cobalt]

Did the map pop up in the selection screen for you too?

[summer kindle]

MY DUDE ITS DOGSHIT

go see the comparasion of fsr3 vs 4 on rivals, the quality jump gap is literally from older dlss 2 to 4

[quick stag]

ill take recommendations i wont be buying a new rig till a few weeks at my new job but im looking to spend in the 2-3k range i want something with a beefy but affordable gpu that can run my master cams verify with out crashing out and run all my games with out slipping

[summer kindle]

its just that freacking obvious on how horrenduous the older versions are.
besides amd is crap for NOT letting older gpus use the newer fsr models, meanwhile nvidia lets older gpus use

[polar grove]

tbh if you plan to drop 3k we can do almost anything lol

[knotty viper]

that 5070 witha ryzen 7800x3d and you good to go

[polar grove]

not wrong lol

[dawn knoll]

love how 1k of that is ram lmao

[summer kindle]

cpu is amd gpu is nvidia dont question why

[polar grove]

right? lol

[quick stag]

im not crazy about bleeding edge tech i likey proven and reliable that will be 5-10 years future proof with maybe some upgrades in a few year

[tranquil ridge]

the breach protocol channel is genuinely useless spam

[knotty viper]

but that setup is easily knocking around $2k

[summer kindle]

nothing nowdays is 5 to 10 years future proof, i bought my gpu 3 years ago and its already running nowdays games dogshit, meanwhile i had a gtx 960 that let me use it for nearly a decade.

[quick stag]

thats what i have invested in this rig when i got it 7 years ago

[knotty viper]

unless you find a sale or prebuilt

[summer kindle]

optmization nowdays has just went down a drain that you NEED last year hardware to play todays games well

[polar grove]

i agree completely. im still using a 2080super bc of how well the cards were made. im gonna friend you if thats okay and ill send you some builds after doing a little research on prices etc.

[quick stag]

i dont play any of those bs bloat ware games i play literally only marathon now and do my CAM/CAD stuff on my pc

[quick stag]

that sounds superb

[polar grove]

i love that answer lol man knows what he likes

[summer kindle]

for a game that was developed for 7 years having performance this abbysmal yeah marathon can also be considered bloatware

[rare flax]

how does one unlock cryo archive? or do we just have to wait

[summer kindle]

d1 was developed in 5 and ran on a 360 like we dead ass

[polar grove]

i dont agree that you need the latest tech, my build proves that but optimization nowadays is awful. i mean look at dragons dogma 2. that game still has so many issues, and alot of games release in a broken state.

[summer kindle]

you have nvidia, games are MADE for nvidia. go grab a "same range" amd equivalent and you will SEE AND FEEL the performance hitting rock bottom

[polar grove]

i think id rather jump into traffic then go the amd route lol

[summer kindle]

my gpu is "supposed" to be a equivalent of a 3060, NEVER FELT LIKE IT. fsr is just that dogshit and dlss makes a 3060 still be relevant

[hollow hedge]

what the hell is going on this time

[quick stag]

bro im laughing so hard im guessing its your rig if my games slides butter smooth on this ol rig

[tranquil ridge]

This game is far from a performance mess

[hollow hedge]

so we are mad we bought a card that ended up being bad? im very confused how this is anyones problem

[quick stag]

i have everything set at stock settings fresh from down load on a 1050 and have zero hiccups

[polar grove]

ALWAYS go nvida man. lol

[summer kindle]

its called having a nvidia i already told you. i have a rx 6600, comparing performance of some games like alan wake 2 on this vs a 3060 hell even marvel rivals itself, shows how much BETTER made are games solely for nvidia :) its not me making shit up its a fact

[quick stag]

nvidia has abandonded us

[visual birch]

Ive got AMD and Im runnin 1440p at solid 120fps 🤷‍♀️

[summer kindle]

you must have fsr4 and the 7k to up cards i dont

[visual birch]

I have the same card, i dunno what your issue is XD

[polar grove]

when it works it works well i cant argue that, but gettin it to that point can be a pain for alot of users

[visual birch]

I also have AM5 and DDR5

[summer kindle]

so then enlightnem me about your whole rig and your graphics settings because on here the game never ever reachs even 70 on any map

[rose iron]

what does the marathon key thing do. got one from a tox warden

[hollow hedge]

i mean i run a consisten 70 fps and im not mad, is like 70 fps bad?

[visual birch]

no

[polar grove]

not the best but by no means bad

[quick stag]

also who really needs 100+ fps its starts sounding like a skill issue if you cant play at 60 frames

[summer kindle]

according to some elitists above its 120 or you are garbage

[hollow hedge]

maybe like the 90 to low 70s range in reality

[visual birch]

I lock to 60, but can hit higher.

[native coral]

wtf is going on

[summer kindle]

whats your rig and your settings you still didnt replied

[hollow hedge]

have to do some more optimization but otherwise the game runs a consistent frame rate dont rlly have any issues and i dont have a fancy rig by any means

[quick stag]

like 60 fps is insane i think people just get talked out of there money easily

[pearl wagon]

Has anyone noticed that the achromatic rush skin for your knife like isn’t actually applied. I have it equipped but it just shows the normal skin in game

[summer kindle]

welcome to bungo momento

[hollow hedge]

theres a knife skin bug thingy idk how to rlly fix it

[quick stag]

mine works fine

[hollow hedge]

been a bug since sever slam for me when i die my skin on the knife goes away

[pearl wagon]

I’m checking here before bug reporting because idk if it’s a me problem

[visual birch]

AMD Ryzen 7 7700x , 64GB DDR5, RX6600

[hollow hedge]

def not just a you problem i think ive seen a few others with the issue

[hollow hedge]

damn thats a pretty sweet set up you got going

[summer kindle]

thats not even mid range with a cpu and ram like that wtf

[prime thorn]

is there a answer sheet for revival? on cryoarchive.systems

[pearl wagon]

I figure it’s probably like a client side issue or smth

[dim nebula]

pretty sure sponsored kits dont have knife skins for some reason

[quick stag]

i was looking at that laughing cause like thats a recent build
