MARATHON VINYL

[strong cargo]

Fuck I love me some OST vinyls

[ripe matrix]

soooo good

[minor gyro]

what about... UTC vinyls

is that anything

[wispy field]

Gonna grab this when preorders open

[ripe matrix]

I can’t wait to get my hands on the Signalis OST

[minor gyro]

i dont know her

[ripe matrix]

fuck I love that design

[wispy field]

I've been waiting for updates on the preorder of the I Am Your Beast OST vinyl, personally

[strong cargo]

Omg I didn't know of this

[minor gyro]

why do i have so many fucking adv patchkits

[ripe matrix]

It’s a special Elster’s Eye edition preorder

[minor gyro]

girl whatever

[strong cargo]

Did you do what I did and run green the entire time and never change so now you have a million advanced ones

[minor gyro]

why delet

if you find out pls tell me i want to actually use this key hfjkhafkshd

[wispy field]

what's the key?

[ripe matrix]

ah you need to get the pump credentials from Revival

[wispy field]

It's vault 3. You'll need batteries, coolant, and the pump credentials from Revival, as Lilac said

Bringing the key in will show you where it is, or you could look at a map

[strong cargo]

You got dat pump goin on

[ripe matrix]

straight pumping it

I don’t recall where exactly vault 3 is sadly

[open shoal]

Are the pump creds always in revival? From my understanding its spawn/boss spawn can change

[wispy field]

oh wait

no you're right they're not always in revival

I thought I was in revival when I got them last run

[wanton forge]

anyone know how to get UESC Pump Credentials? The boss is not spawning for vault 03 so it's not possible

[ripe matrix]

it might be in the other area cross from Revival

[wispy field]

I was in Biostock

[minor gyro]

who up pumpin they station

[ripe matrix]

I know there’s two tranquility rooms and the credentials could be in either

[wispy field]

UESC Warden spawned in Biostock and had the credentials in that room

[ripe matrix]

I think there’s two spawns for each credential

usually in the rooms mirroring each other

[wispy field]

the shacknews map kinda lacking for cryo huh

[open shoal]

Seems right

[acoustic ridge]

What's #breach-protocol as a channel exactly for again?

[open shoal]

It was for the cryo unlock arg

Now its just here

[trail sigil]

do wardens on specific maps drop the same vault key each time? ex. tox warden dropping key 5?

[minor gyro]

cool girls club

[strong cargo]

ARG but now it's chill (sometimes)

I do miss the dirty as heck memes

[wispy field]

This seems unlikely.

[sullen nimbus]

Question

if you bring a key template in

[hearty scaffold]

if you mean || sp'ht || i found some last week

[sullen nimbus]

and exfil, does it make a key for THAT map or random

[hearty scaffold]

some chips say sp'ht

[oak gate]

Where do I find the funny cat everyone keeps talking about?

[candid yacht]

Im only going off patch notes

[candid yacht]

are they called punishment?

[sullen nimbus]

Bingus finds you

[hearty scaffold]

i found two chips doing X to sp'ht enemies last week

lost both to the freezer tho

[candid yacht]

:(

then it might be that

[west spade]

Its a random event. You will hear a meow but if you get close they turn invis

[upbeat perch]

i am back from earlier, i have used about 60 claymores

stocked up on the Zyniccini Alfredos, a lil bitta Saving Private Ryzyn, gonna be extracting outta Zynbabwe, havin some Zynichinos with the boys

[candid yacht]

Can we shorten Perimeter to Peemeter?

[rustic sandal]

we have exfil from cryo 3/5 times

[woven phoenix]

zyns are overrated try alps

[acoustic shard]

I don't have a preference, was just based on the picture shared.

[cobalt isle]

yessir

[edgy elk]

for me its siberia

MY FAVORITE IS SIBERIA

siberia white dry ❤️

[edgy elk]

yeahhhh

[woven phoenix]

33mg kinda nuts

i get light headed off 12

[half vigil]

I wept

[rustic sandal]

hey maybe weird chat, anyone know how these pings procced?

trying to figure out how because it happened to be super useful

they hit a claymore

so can you just ping after claymores hit stuff?

[glad stratus]

That suppressed Outland is awesome. At range, I've been shot by it and just had to guess where from.

[cobalt isle]

i have 70mg pouches rn lmao

anyone know how to get a cryo 6 key?

Its the last subroutine i need 💔

Implants
Some ping people who get damaged / effected by your throwables/deployables

[cobalt isle]

yeah they are interesting but i like them

[fervent swallow]

Ok, back to crypto after week's grind

Let's see how long my vault will last

[brisk cloak]

Lol I ain't even playing cryo this week until my friends buy the game. Cryo is just shotguns and bubble shield everywhere for me and crew fill ain't it🙃

[heady blaze]

This implant, it's super strong

[rustic sandal]

ahhhh

oop mis reply

[dusty cairn]

wish there was a way to test weapons.Im still not sure a suppressor is ever worth it over other attachments

at least for SMG’s, I can see the point fir a sniper rifle

[maiden gazelle]

yeah new rule for crew fill cryo. if someone runs the other way during exfil or starts looting random bs do not wait for their ass ✌️ just lost 60k exfil bc this dude thought it would be smart to try and loot a vault but the other team was still in there

[acoustic shard]

https://klipy.com/gifs/oof-meme-3

[ripe matrix]

always take the exfil

60k would kill me a lil inside

[maiden gazelle]

and that run was all the money i had left now i gotta solo outpost for some gear bc im broke

[ripe matrix]

rook runs?

[maiden gazelle]

lost so much money to cryo fills

[maiden gazelle]

nah solos with kits

[dusty cairn]

Damn, lwky tempted to trial cryo fills

[maiden gazelle]

im fucking POOR

[dusty cairn]

even ppl i. the lfg here can ve braindead

[ripe matrix]

HOLY BROKE

[dusty cairn]

damn you ARE poor

DAMN

[ripe matrix]

your vault's tiny too

[maiden gazelle]

60K FUCKING EXFIL BRO I HAD 4 PURPLE BULLYS ON ME

[candid yacht]

Hipfire acc plus low sound

[zealous wigeon]

Legit had my worst day of runs today 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

[maiden gazelle]

i havent bothered upgrading bc it never gets full ✌️

[candid yacht]

Depends on ur build

[zealous wigeon]

I had such good runs yesterday

[ripe matrix]

just do a bunch of solo runs and you'll get your shit back

that's how I got mine full

[candid yacht]

Gun stockpile 😭

[winter oxide]

are we flexing vault now

[maiden gazelle]

💔

[ripe matrix]

i'm saving them for the lose everything factory

[maiden gazelle]

yeah most of my vault was from rook runs before i lost it all to cryo

[ripe matrix]

got 6 bullies to burn in cryo

[candid yacht]

Those twin taps and brrts would get sold instantly

[ripe matrix]

the brrt's great though

[maiden gazelle]

60K FUCKING EXFIL BRO FUCK im not picking people up if they get full killed during exfil anymore bro

[candid yacht]

Bully better

Or volt thrower for spitting distance

[maiden gazelle]

i might have to take a vault key in with me just so my loadout hits the value limit for cryo bro

[ripe matrix]

eh. I got enough of both to play around with

[ripe matrix]

don't????

not without a team

[candid yacht]

Down bad 😭😭😭

[ripe matrix]

huge waste of a key when a single rook run can get you there

[candid yacht]

How does that even happen wtf 😭

[winter oxide]

cant wait to lose all of this to cryo again

tho i wont bring in my gold weapons

[ripe matrix]

shotgun brrt...

I want one so bad

oh nvm that's a copperhead

wait is it

[winter oxide]

i got mine yesterday from outpost, some dude had my WSTR in his face

and then i lend it from him

[winter oxide]

its the brrt

[candid yacht]

Its a brrt/drrvish

[ripe matrix]

yeah

the changed barrel just threw me off for a sec

one's back heavy the other's front heavy

[winter oxide]

lmao

copperhead is just free money everytime i see it

[candid yacht]

I do like the copperhead but it burns through ammo

[winter oxide]

i take it with me just to sell it

[ripe matrix]

I actually really like the copperhead

[candid yacht]

Its a better overrun

[ripe matrix]

it feels good to use but idk how much better it is than just taking a different smg

[feral parrot]

for 6k

[winter oxide]

well almost every weapon is a better overrun

[candid yacht]

I mean if you find it why not

[feral parrot]

oh sure yeah

[delicate dagger]

i tried a copperhead for the first time this morning, got killed by a squad behind me like 30sec into the game

didn't get to really shoot it but i guess its ok

[feral parrot]

i just see it in my shop for 6k and say LOL no

[candid yacht]

Yeahhh

[zealous wigeon]

Im hoping u get a good run soon

Goddamn

[candid yacht]

Looted a gold HAR mod but idk if I should run it in cryo

[zealous wigeon]

If i lost 60k i’d be fuming

[candid yacht]

Shotgun most important rest dont matter

[winter oxide]

tbh i think i will stockpile all my prestige weapons, just to have a vault full of prestige weapons at the end of the first season

[zealous wigeon]

I had to bring 2 extra backpacks to cryo to hit the ante thats when yk its time to log off

[candid yacht]

Im gonna use em for cryo i think

[rustic sandal]

life hack, just buy ranked tokens to hit ante

[feral parrot]

Just don't use them in fill

Then you're golden

[candid yacht]

Hope they fix that

[feral parrot]

And can blame it on people you know and can yell at after you wipe

[winter oxide]

i dont want some dude who just slides and shotgunes me to have my prestige weapons tbh

[candid yacht]

Not yours just your turn

[ripe matrix]

that’s when you bring your own shotgun and slide on them

[candid yacht]

Theyll be gone anyway

[rustic sandal]

its weird for sure but not really that useful, should just be unable to queue with randoms if you're doing it

[silver juniper]

is there an exfil outside of vault 6?

[ripe matrix]

also yeah if you aren’t using prestige weapons for cryo or ranked idk what you’re using them on

[winter oxide]

yes but bringing a prestige repeater into cryo archive doesnt serve me any good lmaoo

[edgy elk]

hi

[candid yacht]

Loot delivery service

[ripe matrix]

no but that shotgun brrt will put in work

[rustic sandal]

its endgame, just use it

[feral parrot]

perimeter

[winter oxide]

that one probably yeah

[ripe matrix]

or the br33 or mida multitool

[winter oxide]

you just want my prestige weapon and i know it

[candid yacht]

Goodnight

[edgy elk]

sweet dreams

[rustic sandal]

ok then sell it and buy something you'll use

[winter oxide]

nah but maybe ill use them in perimter or dire marsh cause those maps are long-rangish

cus outpost and cryo is just shotgun spam

[ripe matrix]

br33 kills in mid-range

you’d be a monster in Control

basically own the center of the map

[winter oxide]

you're forgetting all the 134 bubble shields

people are bringing in

[ripe matrix]

bring your own!

and some grenades

a lot of grenades

[winter oxide]

well then what does my prestige br33 serve me

[ripe matrix]

to pop bubbles and then kill them

[rustic sandal]

break the bubbles if it bothers u

[ripe matrix]

bring a br33 and a wstr

[winter oxide]

then i'll bring a blue br33 and a wstr same outcome

[silver juniper]

Does anyone know if there's an exfil outside of Vault 6 or is that compiler only?

[winter oxide]

because i wont be hip firing the br33

[quartz veldt]

does anyone know how to get into LFG crew chat

or why there's two now

why is there no mention of this at all in the discord

[tiny topaz]

what do you have to do for the cache rules contract?

[jolly goblet]

How do we feel about the har

[lyric trail]

What hair?

[open sedge]

its buns

[solar birch]

how do you do vault 5 puzzle?

does it spawn wrong panels or no?

[jolly goblet]

Why is every weapon buns bro I swear

[still stump]

holy shit dude

[wise jackal]

nice u get the sticker

[atomic sky]

just want to check, the "hidden cache" for cryo archives is the sec clearance 5 hatch in control, and the armory thing for another contract is the clearance 4 thing in the antivirus room between preservation and biostock, correct?

[midnight pier]

just got a double kill with a claymore drone on outpost solos ama

[maiden gazelle]

god im so good at this game

[polar jewel]

Indeed tells horror stories about u

[ripe matrix]

I can't believe my first gold shield came from leaving destroyed wing mid-looting session and jumping a thief at exfil

[edgy kestrel]

not bad

[edgy kestrel]

gold shield

yeah hope you die there

you are rich

so yeah

[maiden gazelle]

in the last 2 hours my vault value has stayed exactly where it is. at fucking 0. im done for the day bro im playing hunt

i literally got it from a prestige key that randomly dropped in pinwheel

wouldnt consider myself rich lmao

[edgy kestrel]

hmm alright

then

i will believe you on this one

good luck

random fill sucks for cryo

i just lost 5k backpack in cryo because my team was braindamaged

[maiden parrot]

im just waiting for solo queue or ill probably just stack outpost with a team at some point

been doing zero to hero on outpost loading in with a knife

shit is so profitable

[jagged beacon]

Where is the arsenal in cryo

Plz help

[lunar nest]

eneyone know what this key is used for

[maiden gazelle]

youd honestly have an easier time running no fill and trying to 1v3 sometimes

[maiden parrot]

used in cryo archives maintenance

[lunar nest]

cool

[maiden parrot]

nvm not maintenance

im braindead apparently

[lunar nest]

ok

[maiden parrot]

but its in cryo

[lunar nest]

i know that

[maiden parrot]

ask a silly question get a silly answer ahh

also if you didnt know, key rooms are pinged on your map

[lunar nest]

oh

[maiden parrot]

when you load into the map with it in your inventory

[lunar nest]

oh

ok

[maiden parrot]

lowkey there is also somewhere else where you can use that key, if you load into outpost and then go into pinwheel

[prime knoll]

What is this chat for?

[maiden parrot]

and then you wait for exactly 5 minutes in the centre of pinwheel

a random loot carrier will show up!

you kill the loot fiend... and BAM! free loot!

[edgy kestrel]

you cant do that in cryo

[maiden gazelle]

i thought cryo let you no fill into trios?

[maiden oracle]

sekking guchi

[lunar nest]

lies

[maiden parrot]

I think you need to be in a duo for it

You can’t solo queue

[maiden oracle]

Going back to perimeter after you wipe in cryo:

[maiden parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

Low-key it ain’t actually that bad to regear

Just lfg stack outpost

With the right team a few hours of grind and you’re set

Just don’t bring free kits unless you know how to drone wing with double red single yellow

[dusty cairn]

How do I know if materialist plus is working? There doesn't seem to be an indication

[torn hare]

For whatever reason there's no indicators, but it should increase all.the applicable salvage in your vault directly

[dusty cairn]

nice

[sour osprey]

I think it's 1-1, as in 1 materialist proc = one extra piece of loot

[dusty cairn]

also to clarify, the green shield and the reinforced green shield have the same health right? the reinforced one just takes one charge to heal

[dusty cairn]

yeah

[true thunder]

anyone else just DC from Cryo or just my entire squad

[unreal sedge]

The 'indication' is that it says transmuted, it doesn't show what it made though that would be nice

[maiden gazelle]

absolutely insane pull. saw "xur location" and instinctively went "holy shit I forgot to get strange coins this week" and I haven't played d1 since 2018

does vault 4 need coolant?

This dude just rage disconnected because I said I was trying to push teams with my free kit 😭 he said free kits are for gooping and I need a full kit to pvp. Level 101 by the way

[sharp pine]

Damn

[stuck timber]

Free kits are for GOOPing!

Gear Off Other Players! Which you need to kill to get! What the fuck did he mean lol

[sharp pine]

He was a man baby, he screamed unintelligibly for 30 seconds and then disconnected lol. Ended up extracting with a blue shield/backpack full with the duo fill

[north gate]

@thorny elk just got screwed by the servers, internet is fully up and working for everything on my pc, game starts rubberbanding and crashes with 2 minutes left for exfil when ive got 75k loadout, game takes 10 years to load up with the bs PlayStation screen and i load back in to die instantly, thanks bungie. just after looting a hard to get cyro room. I dont mind when we get disconnnect constantly on destiny but this is an extraction shooter, i should be getting gear back that i lose because of server instability

[slender saddle]

you guys wanna see something cool

[elder hornet]

no

[slender saddle]

https://youtu.be/nZRNfktzuiw?si=m9ji-9spHj6AstYg

there you go

[dusty cairn]

True

Why are randoms so bad T-T

[chilly path]

cause matchmaking bad

idgaf about the other teams but at least if i bring gear match me with geared peeps on my own team and if i bring a free kit put me in a free kit team. i f eel guilty when the game puts me in a team with 2 purples after i picked free kit and its annoying AF having to carry two free kits when i queue with gear.

[dusty cairn]

I ran cryo with a kit and only one dude had a mic. Both ran in circles the whole time.

[solar birch]

dont fill cryo its like fireteam finding a raid. use this servers lfg and find a good team otherwise its a lose everything farm

[dusty cairn]

yeah lesson learned but I also feel bad cycling through people on the LFG

[chilly path]

game should just have better matchmaking, we should not need to go outside the game to fix this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

team mic users with mic users

team geared with geared

and free with free

its not that deep

[solar birch]

even then getting someone geared does not mean they will be competent or knowledgeable

which is needed for cryo

[chilly path]

to a degree, yeah. it would still take away 90% of the annoyance with matchmaking in general though

[hearty kayak]

how do you decide if someone is a mic user or not

you cant go off if the mic is disabled or enabled

[chilly path]

its not that hard for bungie to build a check in if someone is regularly using their mic or not

[hearty kayak]

you cant log how often someone used the mic becuase that data could be inaccurate

[chilly path]

everything could be inaccurate, still beats having NOTHING

[hearty kayak]

someone could have the mic on but only spam music over the mic

[chilly path]

an attempt being made is better than this

[hearty kayak]

I think the game probably would do fine without having a crew fill option in the first place

either solo only, or find 2 others via other means

[chilly path]

the whole game is litterally made and balanced around three man mode, that is some dumb argument

[hearty kayak]

but it would solve the issue youre facing

[chilly path]

it wouldn't at all

[hearty kayak]

no?

[chilly path]

just make the issue worse if anything

[hearty kayak]

how could it make the issue worse

if you remove the crew fill option

cant crew fill, cant have mix matched players

[chilly path]

removing the 3 man fill would make it so most of the playerbase will not bother looking for a team outside the game and just go play solo killing the main game mode

[hearty kayak]

potentially

[chilly path]

so its worse

[hearty kayak]

guess its just a downside youll have to live with

[chilly path]

yeah or i can speak up about it here as feedback and hope the devs do something with it like with much of the other feedback

[thorny jungle]

Post-runs shoutout time:

• Team of 2 thieves i almost wiped with. One rezzed us and we limped over to a guarded exfil with practically no heals, dying to bots one or two more times along the way. I got grenade-ed in the face while destroyer-leaping which was funny
• team who helped me (finally) complete a Finish Runners bounty in hauler
• everyone on dire marsh who didn't find me as rook hahahaha

I finally found another marathon key. Friend and I only need 01 and 06 now I believe

But then we need to actually do it 😭

[icy summit]

well i say no deaths - 2 of us got full killed, one of us had the red. our teammate ran and was able to res us later, and we found and killed the team that killed us to get the red back

that was our only one too, wouldve been heartbroken lmao

and then vault 6 had a cryo template that gave me another red one :)

[torn hare]

How the heck, you're insane

[lyric spoke]

Hell yeah I’m just doing compiler attempts now since I got everything but 03 last weekend

[torn hare]

Well, that does explain it, gg

[icy summit]

i was running the unique light lmg and full auto misriah, absolutely slaps

the lmg generates ammo on kills so i never reloaded a single time

[torn hare]

Ah yes very balanced ... infinite ammo lmg 💀

me looking for competent cryo fills

[normal fable]

i just did my first run and we did great

slimed two and a half teams

the third of the second team got away

[bleak vessel]

ive only seen the first like three rooms

[prime hill]

i play this game to try and talk to folks but literally no one is remotely social

[normal fable]

all three of us were on comms

it was peak

[prime hill]

i dream of those games

[real falcon]

I had one where we all had mics and we instantly added eachother and ran it a bunch more 😆

I'd just love some casual LFG instead of the ripe sweaty LV802+ Know what to do.

Some of us just want a low pressure good time lol

[bleak vessel]

Maybe there is hope after all

[real falcon]

It's a shame it costs 5k+ to find out 😆

[bleak vessel]

Right lol

[bleak vessel]

Wanna run together sometime? 🫃

[real falcon]

Sure, I'll potentially be on this weekend but may already have a team. I'll give a shout if I have a space though 🙂

[woeful parcel]

Infinity belt on the conquest? Does it affect the base ramp up time at all?

Or is it faster only after kills

Aah the unique version. Damn

[wooden meadow]

Which upgrades have the most value for alien alloys

[candid yacht]

Yeah the unique slaps

Higher base and max rpm

[woeful parcel]

Right ye saw someone use it and it ripped

Any clue how it is with the infinity belt?

Like reg versiok

[frozen drift]

I have a key for cryo,the key of the room 3...play with me?

[edgy kestrel]

bruh player count numbers are concerning

[flat ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[candid yacht]

yeah the mod works the same

so you get even more rate of fire

and ammo into the mag

good for clearing bots or just holding down corridors

[edgy kestrel]

Nah that is true , have you seen a recent player count megathread on marathon subreddit ?

It makes me sad that player count continues to decline

[flat ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/not-today-no-woman-not-now-gif-8270668

[candid yacht]

if I was looking at the playercounts instead of playing the game id be miserable

[maiden parrot]

Bro most people play on weekends

Also just looking at steam charts isn’t a very good idea

Most of marathons population comes from consoles

Where they don’t have 40 different extraction shooters

[candid yacht]

I dont wanna rain on your parade but most of the sales are from PC

[sacred lake]

playercount numbers aren't all that relevant to how profitable the game is. The real measure is how many people are buying into the microtransactions

which is neatly impossible to know

[hushed stag]

Yeah like @candid yacht mentioned, PC sales were more than double of PS5 and Xbox combined lol

[maiden parrot]

Yeah that’s fair dw, but to be quite honest it does still seem like there are more console players on the game than steam players

[candid yacht]

if they do a free weekend type of deal like the server slam I think a bunch more people would hop on

[maiden parrot]

Every trio queue I run in it’s always consoles

[candid yacht]

thats anecdotal

[maiden parrot]

Again probably right i might be tripping

[hushed stag]

If you’re on console, you might have crossplay off lol

[maiden parrot]

I’m on pc

[hushed stag]

[maiden parrot]

Idk it’s mainly just what people have been saying though that on pc we got tarkov and allat and only real extraction shooters I can think that consoles have are Arc and Mara as far as I keep up to date with them (which isn’t very much). I could be completely wrong but

400k sales on console is still a fairly high amount

[woeful parcel]

Delta force

Hunt showdown

But ye its less saturated

What are the supposed numbers paul tassi is pulling from anyway. Dudes an absolute joke lol

Marathon yes most likely didnt make the sales they wanted. But im doubtful its going anywhere for a while

[candid yacht]

Yeah I wouldnt be surprised about like 3-4 seasons

Atleast

Hopefully Sony sticks with this, cus they have an amazing game here

But tbh I got my moneys worth for 35$

I just wanna see the potential with more content and story and lore realized

[edgy elk]

@candid yacht hi

[woeful parcel]

Once people get over their sheep hate for it, it should get a lot of players. All the reviews are amazing for it too. Player reviews that is

[edgy elk]

metacritic is busted but thats becausee it doesnt require ownership

[woeful parcel]

Ye fuck all of that. Steam and ps5 reviews etc

[candid yacht]

heyo

[edgy kestrel]

No most of the population comes from oc

[candid yacht]

even critic reviews are good

8-9s

[woeful parcel]

Ye but fuck those

😂

[edgy kestrel]

Micro transactions aren't that good yet and we still need more players,maybe not a higher online player count but at least 2x more players

[edgy elk]

i wish journalists made another clip similar to the cuphead one

[candid yacht]

I think one or 2 free weekends could do it

but they will probably do that at the start of next season

so they dont fight geared up people

[edgy kestrel]

You underestimate casuals,they simply won't play the game because they didn't like it during the first hours of gameplay. Also the game has some serious balancing issues

[next granite]

I actually think the game is pretty balanced as far as release goes, everything is pretty in line besides a few things

[edgy kestrel]

No it isnt

[next granite]

Why?

[edgy kestrel]

Pre-made teams are too overpowered. Gold and epic gear is too overpowered , teams with better gear win much more often and therefore their vaults continue to grow while casuals suffer

Every so often I get hunted down by a team with purple shields when I run a free kit

This is absurd

[next granite]

Why do you care if you're being hunted down when you run a free kit?

[edgy kestrel]

Price to entry to Cryo is too high considering the insane amount of sweats playing there

[edgy kestrel]

Because I don't want to get spawn killed by sweats ?

[shy hull]

Typically how it goes in extraction shooters or any other game really, better gear = advantage. But also a low geared player can take them out with the right tactics

[next granite]

What gold gear is too overpowered?

[heavy moon]

why should everyone be able to 1v3 a full purple team on a free kit? btw it's possible if you are insanely good, which imo is actually very well balanced

[edgy kestrel]

Shields,sniper rifle mods , shotguns

[next granite]

You arent naming specific mods, shields or "shotguns", each gold behaves differently dude

[edgy kestrel]

Yes except this advantage is too big and if you want to get better gear you need a good team ,which is not casual friendly

[next granite]

I think golds besides a few outliers are pretty whatever

[loud vault]

Gold should feel op, that’s Fine

[shy hull]

Not true, I play solo or fill and get plenty good gear.

[heavy moon]

you can get a 5k loadout with a single rook run

[edgy kestrel]

Basically pre made teams already have an advantage by having a communication compared to random fill, but eventually they get even more advantage by getting a better gear

[edgy kestrel]

And you can get nothing

[shy hull]

Have you played any other extraction shooters ?

[loud vault]

Well that‘s what a extraction Shooter is All about

[next granite]

I completely agree, pre-made teams do have an advantage. I would never play without one, I hate fills, so when I have no friends on I play solos.

[edgy kestrel]

I mean 5k loadout value is not so much of a problem compared to super sweaty players in cryo

[loud vault]

None of your Points make Sense Bro

Really none

[candid yacht]

gold and epic gear is supposed to be overpowered cuz its hard to get

[edgy kestrel]

So they need to balance Cryo so it doesn't feel pointless to run

[shy hull]

Cryo is meant to be sweaty, and full of th best gear

[candid yacht]

and with the ttk being so low anyone can lose it

[edgy kestrel]

It isn't hard to get for sweats

They have 200-600k vaulta

[edgy elk]

just aim for they head lol

[candid yacht]

how is it any different to any other extraction shooter

[next granite]

Players are not sweaty on cryo, there is good players, but I'm far from amazing and I die the majority of runs, but eventually I get absolutely loaded on the map.

One good cryo run pays for 5 losses

[edgy kestrel]

Well apparently bungo asked to hold off reviews until Cryo gets released, so it should be somewhat casual friendly

[next granite]

This game is difficult, but you don't have to be a sweat to succeed.

[edgy kestrel]

5 bubble shields and purple shields is a definition of being sweaty

[shy hull]

Imo the downfall of arc was its to casual friendly. I pray Bungie doesn’t fall into that

[edgy kestrel]

Even if I am better 1 vs 1 PvP I can't do shit with random fill against sweaty players who abuse meta and camp exfil terminals

[edgy elk]

learning how to use tactical gear doesn’t make you sweaty

[next granite]

Why do people run 5 bubble shields and purple shields?

[heavy moon]

what logic is that? having aspirational content that isn't made for everyone is actually good for everyone

[edgy kestrel]

I don't like arc but it is still better at player count retention

[shy hull]

Brother I’m far from good, and I take down trios solo all the time. Just grab a v11 punch

[edgy kestrel]

Marathon needs to be balanced

Otherwise it is a much better game than arc

[candid yacht]

because its as deep as a puddle

[next granite]

Marathon is not a game for everyone dude

[edgy kestrel]

Not trios with purple shields tho

[shy hull]

What other extraction shooters have you played

[shy hull]

Yes

[candid yacht]

youre making up boogeymen

[loud vault]

You should try tarkov 😄

[candid yacht]

this game compared to Tarkov is a walk in the park

[edgy kestrel]

Aspirational content =/= being almost a guaranteed loss for solo players

[shy hull]

10k+ hours in Tarkov and majority all solos against the 5 man stacks!🫡

[edgy kestrel]

I have only exfield once in 15 Cryo runs

[next granite]

@edgy kestrel Put in a little bit more effort to understand why you died every time you do and just play more, you'll get better, find an LFG to play with and make some friends and play with them

[edgy kestrel]

Well I almost exfield 4 other times

[shy hull]

And it’s a map that isn’t meant for you to extract every game

[next granite]

My friends don't play Marathon so I made some

[edgy kestrel]

Well I am already pretty good but I can't do shit against people who abuse meta with my free kit

[candid yacht]

people keep praising Arc for the social aspect, but if a game asks you to LFG and find teammates its the end of the world apparently

[shy hull]

Don’t use free kit…

[edgy kestrel]

7,5% succes rate is kinda terrible 😞

[loud vault]

Haha Tarkov is the definition of sweat 😁

[edgy elk]

this guy should try to solo goonsquad in tarkov

[edgy kestrel]

I hate tarkov

[shy hull]

Tarkov is the goat of extraction shooters

[candid yacht]

2-3 frags literally delete a squad

[shy hull]

Then improve it

[flat ledge]

i prefer marathon

[edgy kestrel]

Well I will but my aim is to do a compiler

[loud vault]

Sure you do, After Reading your comments here 😄

[candid yacht]

same but I might dabble in SPT sometimes

[heavy moon]

get a friend on the lfg then, this game requires a team and good communication to get the best loot, if they freely gave out gold gear to everyone all the gear would devaluate, nothing wrong with the game asking for certain player skills, in this case social

[edgy kestrel]

But I am just concerned about the player count

[edgy kestrel]

No it has nothing to do with the game being hard , I hate it's developers

[shy hull]

Currently so do I. But no denying that Tarkov is the OG and the best. I mean it’s been around for 10 + years with a solid player base even with some of its flaws

[edgy kestrel]

It is personal

[next granite]

Unfortunately you're going to lose to people who are incredibly geared when you have a free kit. You can't win every fight and it's okay to not take a fight and just let things be. If you're low on gear run rooks on outpost, find bodies, or just fight either way if you die, you at most lose about 10 minutes of your time.

[flat ledge]

same, i would love that here some day

[edgy kestrel]

Have nothing to do with gameplay

[candid yacht]

thats fine but you name "issues" (read as things every extraction shooter has), as the problem

[edgy kestrel]

You need to abuse meta to win in ranked or Cryo , which is clearly not a good balance

[shy hull]

So find a good trio and get r done. Compiler isn’t meant to do in one or even two weekends, unless you are one of those fancy streamers. You have all season to do it, then try again next

[candid yacht]

the fact that you can go from dog shit gear to Purples and Golds if you play well is the point of extraction shooters

[edgy kestrel]

This needs to be fixed and Cryo needs to be more accessible to improve a player count

[candid yacht]

even the next since the entry is tied to the codex I believe

[signal dirge]

anyone know if thief's drone can see invis assassins?

[edgy kestrel]

Yes but there is no solo Cryo or solo ranked mode where you could play fair 1 vs 1 pvp

You are always at a disadvantage in random fill

[edgy kestrel]

Yes

[shy hull]

I wish they’d add solo cryo but make us go against squads

[candid yacht]

they are already discussing solos in Cryo

[next granite]

You don't need to. I've ran cryo 6 times today and got out twice, and the first time we did we ran BLUE SHIELDS, BLUE BAGS, ONE BUBBLE SHIELD! and A low range blue bully with a WSTR.

You need to pick your fights.

We got security level 5

got the Compiler Trace

[candid yacht]

easy 40k

[woeful parcel]

You got incredibly lucky

Is all

😂

[next granite]

I can show you the clips of how many times i've done it

wanna see?

[edgy kestrel]

Well I am doing more or less well but ranked mode is absolutely broken

And decline in player count is not good as well

[candid yacht]

idk why id ever fill in ranked

[heavy moon]

imo cryo is one of the best crafted experiences in a shooter, it's basically 7 pvpve raids packed in a single map, that's insane, the balance in this game is so much better than people realize

[shy hull]

Ranked is also in “beta” changes will come

[candid yacht]

one of the best pvp experiences ive had

[next granite]

I dont fw ranked, it's bad for player retention in small regions

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah a fair point but it just shows some fundamental flaws with this game balance and meta . Some of the items are just too overpowered and get abused by sweats

[next granite]

Ranked should just be tied to your overall stats and performance imo

The only thing too OP is that fucking knife

[candid yacht]

its the great equalizer

[shy hull]

I see your point, but also if I go into ranked I am expecting nothing but sweats. Thats what it’s for

[candid yacht]

thats why the complaints about shields dont make sense

[edgy kestrel]

Well I don't really expect sweats in bronze 3

[candid yacht]

MIDA free kit can wipe purple squads

[shy hull]

Leave knife alone !!

[next granite]

Im okay with the knife being strong but it's a bit too busted rn, mainly because of the lock on.

[shy hull]

Everyone starts there, so I would

[hearty scaffold]

mfs be like 'knife OP' then let someone run up to knifing range

[next granite]

It needs that lock on and dash GONE

[heavy moon]

yeah fr, they really took everything they learned from hallo and destiny and put it into marathon

[hearty scaffold]

it's the first weekend ofc it's gonna take a bit for it to shake out

[edgy kestrel]

Nah it is unbalanced you get matched up against players in gold league

[shy hull]

Okay okay, you may have a point. That ol call of duty cammando perk is crazy

[edgy kestrel]

Maybe or maybe it won't , we need 1 vs 1 ranked mode

It would help with improving the quality of random fill

[hearty scaffold]

you can play ranked as a solo already

[shy hull]

They should do x amount of games to get placed in a rank depending on how you do . Rather everyone starting in one rank

[next granite]

"Let" is someone running up to you and placing smokes with a signal jammer. Audio is a bit inconsistent and sometimes you wont be able to swap to ur wstr of shotty until its too late. A player with a knife running at you is always faster

[edgy kestrel]

No I mean 1 vs 1 not 1 vs 3

[woeful parcel]

I wish they did rook runs into cryo last few hours of it being open or something. Or scheduled 1 hour everyday its open

😂

[hearty scaffold]

it is 1 v 1

[woeful parcel]

Only rooks

[hearty scaffold]

just knife them back then

[shy hull]

I think mostly knifes are fine bc it’s a gamble, especially in trios. Run up on someone and you may get one of them, but you still need to get 2 others before they take you out.

[hearty scaffold]

and who is running signal jammer + smokes to knife

lmao

[shy hull]

Oyy!

[heavy moon]

is someone uses a smoke and signal jammer to knife me to death that's a kill well deserved

[edgy kestrel]

Is it ? I thought it was 1 vs squads

[next granite]

By the time you can react and understand whats going on if ur not already being shanked, the weapon swap time to knife is too long, you got hit once before ur enemy its over

[hearty scaffold]

why would it be that if it has the same fill/no fill as every other queue

[hearty scaffold]

skill, issue

if ur getting run up on by signal jammer smokes knife players that's on you man

[next granite]

Yeah nobody is, but when smokes get into the equation of any CQC fight and has signal jammer on its over

[round ridge]

If someone gets me by going through the trouble of smokes and signal jammer i think it's just ggs well played and a learning opportunity for me to not get into a aituation where that's possible

[edgy kestrel]

I will do a run in ranked next week but I am pretty sure it was 1 versus squads

[normal fable]

rooks on cryo would go insane with all the free blue guns lying around

[hearty scaffold]

in my experience it was 1 v 1

[hearty scaffold]

icl I hate the idea of cryo rooks it would kill the flow of the map

[normal fable]

yeah it just doesn't make sense

[next granite]

Depends, audio is wonky, if an assasin ults you and already had signal jammer on its difficult to react in time

[hearty scaffold]

plus how would they work with sec clearance

[normal fable]

I've ran cryo four times now, extracted once. so so fun though

[hearty scaffold]

oh no, the assassin can assassinate using a knife which is an assassination tool? the horror

[normal fable]

need to get my stack in

[next granite]

I'm trying to talk to you abt the knife and you refuse to engage in convo bro

[hearty scaffold]

like again, if ur getting ulted by a signal jamming assassin and killed by their knife that's on you

[heavy moon]

exactly this, people that ask for rooks on cryo don't understand how it works, security clearance, the exfil mechanic, all that by yourself and with less than 30 mins is not possible

[next granite]

really?

[round ridge]

I kinda think that's the point of the whole thing, like if it would be easy for me to react to all that in time what's the point of the whole ult

[hearty scaffold]

because you're creating dumb hypotheticals where you get killed by players that don't exist

[hearty scaffold]

yes

[woeful parcel]

Ofc I know how it fucking works. It would be fun af lol

[hearty scaffold]

send me a clip of this happening

[next granite]

I had it just happened to me bro

[hearty scaffold]

to anyone ever

[hearty scaffold]

proof?

[heavy moon]

that's true it would be silly af hahaha

[next granite]

I didnt clip it bro

I literally told you what happened

I said

[hearty scaffold]

yeah it sounds like you got outplayed buddy

[edgy kestrel]

Damn that is wild , I might actually start grinding ranked but Cryo still feels infested with sweats who abuse meta

[next granite]

"My teamate had smoked, and then someone who had already had signal jammer on because its cryo came in and killed everyone"

[hearty scaffold]

no way, the endgame place has meta sweats ??!??!?!??

[woeful parcel]

@heavy moon and only rooks. No teams

Start at 30mins

[hearty scaffold]

lol

[heavy moon]

why not just solos then 😂

[hearty scaffold]

ur telling me he knifed 3 in smoke

[next granite]

now how do I counter

[hearty scaffold]

without anyone on your squad realizing

[next granite]

no he knifed 2

we all knew

[round ridge]

Like once again the whole point of asymmetrical shooters is using the asymmetry to get an advantage isn't it

[next granite]

we couldnt see him

I had my knife out

[hearty scaffold]

yeah sounds like you guys suck if he could find you but not vice versa

[next granite]

we had our knives out

ong i fucking slam u bro

[hearty scaffold]

maybe find an optometrist

[next granite]

run it up

lets run it up big guy

what servers cs

[hearty scaffold]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[woeful parcel]

Somebody needs to calm down and touch grass

Wtf 😂

[hearty scaffold]

nah what if the grass knifes him

[next granite]

Whats your region

hop on any game

FPS!

[woeful parcel]

Saddest shit ever lol

[hearty scaffold]

they might drop smokes and signal jammers on the grass

[next granite]

You refuse to engage in debates and just strawman the arguments

you dont put anything forward

[hearty scaffold]

be you
die to a knife you knew existed
mald

is that about it?

[next granite]

Strawman geeker

In a fight

I dropped 2 people with circuit breaker

[hearty scaffold]

how's it a straw man I'm describing what happened

there was a knife in smoke and they killed two of you without your squad reacting

that's the facts not a strawman

[woeful parcel]

Hes just using words he saw someone else use

😂😂

[hearty scaffold]

xddddd

here's my conclusion:
you could've run out of the smoke if you already killed two
you could've thrown nades into the smoke
you could've coordinated with your team to figure out where in the smoke the knifer was
you could've used your eyes since the knifer found you but not vice-versa

anything I've missed?

and no I'm not hopping on cs to 1v1 you

[woeful parcel]

Essent with the seethe.exe

Bro you suck with a knife, we get it

[edgy kestrel]

20 lvl doesn't sound very endgame to me

[hearty scaffold]

it's 25 firstly, and it's also just an endgame level idk what to tell you

[edgy kestrel]

You cant seriously gatekeep the whole map and boss and expect iPlayer count to grow

[hearty scaffold]

talking about player count tells me about the type of person you are

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah I think there should be decent random fill matchmaking for cryo

[hearty scaffold]

there is

[edgy kestrel]

Pre made teams should be isolated

[hearty scaffold]

why

[woeful parcel]

If you cant get lvl25 you werent going to do cryo anyway

[edgy kestrel]

Idk maybe because most of the time they have an advantage?

[hearty scaffold]

just shoot them better or use LFG

I'm not going to complain about my randoms if I'm not dropping bodies either

[edgy kestrel]

I am not saying lvl 25 is gatekeeping I am talking about absurd sweats in cryo

[hearty scaffold]

and if I'm not using LFG services I'll accept fill might be bad

[hearty scaffold]

not everyone in cryo is a sweat, I've extracted with sub-optimal gear twice now

[edgy kestrel]

And you will get matched up against higher lvl players in cryo purely because of player count and your region

[hearty scaffold]

do you want a challenge in your pvp game or not

cod has a campaign mode if you wanna win so bad

[edgy kestrel]

Not everyone but a lot of time there is a trio with purple shields running pure meta stuff

[hearty scaffold]

define pure meta

and if you say shotguns I'm gonna ignore you

[edgy kestrel]

Do you want a player count to drop or do you want people to actually play cryoarchives?

[hearty scaffold]

I want to have fun

and I'm having fun

[woeful parcel]

Whys he arguing all this. Hes the self proclaimed best player in marathon

[edgy kestrel]

Bubble shields, wstr shotgun , purple/legendary shields , sniper rifles,thermal scopes

[woeful parcel]

He tells his team mates to dc and then he solos it

Sit tf down lol

[hearty scaffold]

yeah alright man pack it up

[edgy kestrel]

Okay so why is the player count dropping and how do we prevent it from dropping?

[hearty scaffold]

no one cares about player count

[edgy kestrel]

Wdym pack it up ?

[hearty scaffold]

what I mean is be quiet

[edgy kestrel]

Sony does

[woeful parcel]

I tought he was baiting a week ago when he showed up but I think this is just how he is

[hearty scaffold]

yeah

steam chart riders are the worst

no one actually enjoying the game gives a shit

if the games not for you, move on

stop whining about it

[edgy kestrel]

Is it too hard for you to open the official marathon Reddit and see what people think about this game balance?

Like are you that lazy

[hearty scaffold]

using reddit to argue about balance

[edgy kestrel]

I have 60 hours in marathon brochacha

[hearty scaffold]

I have 70 in your mom

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah that's how it works

they drop bubble right before they die and crawl into it, I cant push it bc there is now a third team holding the bubble, we decide to pull back as a team to reposition, third guy runs past me which I cannot hear because of the shots, gets behind me into the smokes my tm8 put down to let the my other tm8 self res after losing a trade, guy comes in knifing and we have comms saying hes got a knife in smoke, we run into the smoke to trade and full kill the guy full split from his 2 downed tm8s that i cant confirm. we both go in knife out and start swinging and my tm8 gets knocked and I get tagged once, we could not see the guy. I back up to try to thermal him in the smoke with my bully and he is signal jammed, I take a position away from the smoke with my circuit breaker fully charged ready to drop if he runs out and then he runs back to tm8s who are now up, my tm8 self resses and get naded again while I down the guy knifing as he rushes at me directly and I have a fully charged circuitbreaker, his teamates are now close behind ready to trade, I push back into vent and throw 3 Frechette nades to block choke point, which cracks them, they make the right move and just chase me, in the vent because I'm already pretty low now and get knocked and just thirst. The guy in the smoke happened to just lock onto us while we couldn't get it and hit us first. Audio was too wonky and we cannot hear him run in, nor seen. The smoke was shit bad call by our Assasin but we couldnt even see the guy, and he just kept locking onto us, theres no time to react to a guy insta dashing to u

knife should be strong but the dash should not be that far and that strong of lock on

[edgy kestrel]

Wow even when making a stupid joke you need to make sure that 67 are close to each other what goofball you are

[next granite]

there is no counter play to that besides swinging aswell

and getting lucky

I had my chem nades on during the smoke fight so i cant even really kill him in the smoke with a good nade

it would just reveal the guy at most to which we would chase back into his tm8s who are up

and fight a 2v3

who also have a bubble

[hearty scaffold]

not reading allat 😭😭😭

touch grass

[next granite]

okay!

The knifes issue is it's dashing

[edgy kestrel]

People with lvl 25-40 should be able to enjoy cryoarchives regularly,no one should grind 100 hours to enjoy the game to it's fullest and it is not even about the game difficulty but about gear balance and random fill

[next granite]

people always argue that a WSTR counters knife, and while that is true to an extent you need to be able to hit an incredibly fast target with crazy dashes

[edgy kestrel]

What else should I use ?

[hearty scaffold]

pinnacle activities shouldn't be easily accessible to all.

[next granite]

this

[hearty scaffold]

if everyone can easily do cryo it's just another map

[edgy kestrel]

Are you joking ? Cryoarchives isn't a pinnacle activity , the only activity that should be pinnacle is pinnacle rank in ranked mode

[soft pine]

Me aswell and it was a trash experience , unbalanced because of the weight of the creature

[next granite]

If you dont believe you can win on cryo anyways ur already putting urself at a disadvantage

[edgy kestrel]

Everything else should be accessible

[next granite]

this has to be bait

[woeful parcel]

Tl;dr, touch grass

[edgy kestrel]

The game needs to be balanced and it is not about the difficulty

[lusty panther]

Games are allowed to be hard :)

[edgy kestrel]

Lvl 25 is all you need for cryo

[hearty scaffold]

cryo is a Pinnacle activity don't be dense

[edgy kestrel]

How is that a pinnacle ?

[soft pine]

No..

[edgy kestrel]

No bro it isn't

It is lvl 25 activity

[hearty scaffold]

ur just stupid then

[candid yacht]

its the hardest map with the best loot

[edgy kestrel]

Just like outpost

[candid yacht]

outpost is lvl 12

[hearty scaffold]

outpost is 15

[next granite]

It's THE end game map, the hardest one and the one with the best loot

[lusty panther]

W baits bro but maybe go get your vault up an you’ll be able to hang out in cryo

[soft pine]

You are more dense than i thought, no it isnt the only requirement

[edgy kestrel]

I am stupid but player count and bungie earnings keep dropping

[hearty scaffold]

no he's gonna keep crying because he lacks the skill to play the game

[soft pine]

Doesnt make you any less stupid

[hearty scaffold]

great! keep touching urself to steam player charts, I'ma go play the game I enjoy

[edgy kestrel]

Are you seriously telling me that you should be lvl 60-80 to successfully play cryoarchives?

[next granite]

steam plr count isnt even low

[edgy kestrel]

It keeps dropping

[next granite]

People are so like de-sensitized to huge games

[maiden parrot]

brother youre basing your information of weekdays

[woeful parcel]

People starting to realize why many have him blocked here. Bros like 12 ansd has never touched the game. Just regurgitating stuff others have said here

[soft pine]

Lvl 25 Isnt the only in game requirement Idk how many time you need to be told

[maiden parrot]

come and have this conversation on saturday

[woeful parcel]

He wants the doom bfg to be a crossover gun in marathon

[hearty scaffold]

him and ant gotta be the stupidest people in this channel

[edgy kestrel]

Why not make it lvl 50 to even access cryoarchives then ?

[next granite]

Arc-Raiders having the pop is not normal, the game is great and very accessible

those two are the reasons

[soft pine]

Block button looking sexy for both

[edgy kestrel]

What is the point of loading to Cryo and getting killed in the first 10 minutes ?

It is barely profitable for people who don't have a decent gear

[hearty scaffold]

have you tried killing the other players

[hearty scaffold]

get better gear then tf ?

guys I have terrible gear and keep dying, this is bungies fault >:(

[edgy kestrel]

I wish you could prove it 🙏🥺

[next granite]

You can succeed on cryo with the bare minimum

[hearty scaffold]

you do every time you hit enter

[candid yacht]

the possibility of getting the best gear in the game?

[soft pine]

Literally skill issue lmao Theres nothing more to it. If everyone manage to get out but you dont its a you problem

[candid yacht]

you can get good loot with just lvl 3 and 4 clearance

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah you need to prove it yourself

[candid yacht]

dont even need vault keys

[next granite]

others bring the keys for u

[hearty scaffold]

I've got out twice and I suck balls at PvP

and both runs were full random fill

rei is just bad at the game I fear

[edgy kestrel]

I am not talking about myself

Lmao

[hearty scaffold]

then who TF are you arguing with ???? the ghosts in your walls

[edgy kestrel]

I have exfilt once and was close to exfil 3 other times but died due to timer

[soft pine]

Istg if he is older than 15 Im bamboozled

[woeful parcel]

Youve never set foot in cryo buddy

[edgy kestrel]

I am in your walls

[soft pine]

Ok now explain how you being slow is a design problem

[woeful parcel]

Nah hes like 12. I asked him first few days he showed up and he ghosted the channel for 2 days lol

Report him for being underage 😂

[edgy kestrel]

I am talking about the average amount of time you need to spend to start enjoying cryoarchives

[soft pine]

Omg bruh 😭😭

[edgy kestrel]

Is it that hard to understand?

[hearty scaffold]

someone call his parents, he's got math hw to do

[edgy kestrel]

How many hours do you need to start enjoying matriarch ?

20 ISH ?

[hearty scaffold]

matriarch is a dog shit pinnacle activity

[edgy kestrel]

First few days of what ?

[hearty scaffold]

comparing that to cryo is skinnable

[woeful parcel]

I think he just gets off the humiliation

[soft pine]

Omgg bro just go play arc raiders lmao you can beat matriarch in 10 hours if you have two braincell and know how to hide behind a wall

[hearty scaffold]

I've been part of a lobby that fought a matriarch and felt very little of anything

my first run on cryo where I escaped hit like crack

nuff said

[next granite]

exactly

Arc-Raiders is a great game but its a babies game bro

[edgy kestrel]

There is 0 possibility unless you are prepared. With lvl 3 clearance you are not that likely to get legendary gear ( you can ) but to actually make a profit you need clearance 4-5 or vault keys

[woeful parcel]

Tbh almost every game in marathon gives you that rush

[hearty scaffold]

like imagine going into a WoW server and saying 'why does it take me 100+ hours to do a raid this is bad design'

[soft pine]

I have 500h in arc and 120 hours in marathon made me have more fun already

[hearty scaffold]

real

[candid yacht]

so its a hard pinnacle level activity

time to skill up

[woeful parcel]

Thinking you need lvl4-5 to make a profit in cryo tells us all we need to know about you buddy

[edgy kestrel]

And how many hours do you need to consistently exfil from Cryo or to complete a clearance 5 challenge or even beat a compiler ? 40 ? 60? 100?

[next granite]

Arc-Raiders gameplay depth and complexity only barely rivals, shapes and colours.

[hearty scaffold]

how many hours in WoW do you need for a Pinnacle activity. How many in destiny for raids

[edgy kestrel]

Why even let people access cryoarchives at lvl 25 if it is a pinnacle activity?

[hearty scaffold]

stop making a fool of yourself

[candid yacht]

to have the option?

[edgy kestrel]

I don't play destiny

Lmao

[hearty scaffold]

yeah clearly

[candid yacht]

Like wtf are these arguments

you have to option to go there and get good gear

or not

[soft pine]

Literally this, Im sure the guy didnt even went past the first 2 bot rooms bcz his complains are not reflecting what is cryo at all

[candid yacht]

you are the deciding factor

[next granite]

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-raven-crow-tiktok-gif-3869671553367641450

[edgy kestrel]

Why would I play it solo ? I had a friend who was grinding destiny 2 but I wasn't that interested in it to spend a gazillion of hours

[woeful parcel]

@soft pine hes never set foot into cryo. Doubt hes even done the tutorial

And hes not baiting either. Hes just like this

😂😂

[hearty scaffold]

have you ever tried having fun

[edgy kestrel]

Is it a massive circlejerk or do you want me to send a screenshot from a codex ?

[hearty scaffold]

I played D2 from launch till Shadow keep solo and never once complained that pinnacle activities required groups

[soft pine]

Nah he definitely did the tutorial its full PVE ! The real experience !

[next granite]

p[rove it man

[edgy kestrel]

Have you ever tried to use actual arguments and not circlejerking

[next granite]

It'll help ur case

[edgy kestrel]

?

[edgy kestrel]

Okay...

[woeful parcel]

Imagine your dumbest friend. Now realize that half the population is dumber than that.

[hearty scaffold]

I'm calling ur parents kiddo

[soft pine]

Send your vault value and
account level

[edgy kestrel]

What friend are you talking about? 😑

[next granite]

You've been argued with and debated but you refuse to move on your opinions and are too close minded to think you could be wrong

I tried debating you politely

but you just said

"legendaries are too op"

i asked which

you said

"shotguns, mods and shields"

[edgy kestrel]

You haven't got adopted yet ?

[next granite]

i said which again because each legendary is different and shotguns themselves cannot be legendary its the MODS

larp larp larp sahur bro

[soft pine]

@edgy kestrel Why are you coming to complain and dont understand that everyone doesnt think like you, What was the goal of coming to rant about losing in the endgame map you are not prepared for

[edgy kestrel]

You keep yapping instead of answering an actual question. Why allow people to play Cryo at lvl 25 if they are unlikely to exfil consistently? It is not like I am asking for people to be able to beat the compiler consistently but gambling 5k and not being able to exfil more or less consistently is just weird

[soft pine]

He Also mentioned the steamcharts the very best argument

[edgy kestrel]

What a weird argument, why would everyone think like me ?

[next granite]

@edgy kestrel You are capable of succeeding in Marathon, you just need to put the effort in. Nothing actually worthwhile in life comes easy, and will just be handed to you. Arc-Raiders is incredibly boring to ALOT of people, I don't think its a bad game but its incredibly boring. It does not challenge me

[hearty scaffold]

yo @edgy kestrel where's ur vault and codex

post it

why you ghosting us

post that codex rei
