breach-protocol

[cerulean swan]

I do see purples around.

[marsh zodiac]

dang bad luck how often do you play the game? you can find purps in the smallest containers

[cyan nest]

Im at lv 72 and 70% of my vault is blue. Lol

[cerulean swan]

tfw you find a purple savlage and go "Can we leave now?" :p

[marsh zodiac]

golds are harder to come across

[cyan nest]

Every night for 4 hours a day since launch

[honest wadi]

Rookie numbers

Gotta pump those numbers up

[woeful parcel]

Just run anomaly or 3 red key pinwheel

[cyan nest]

I start at 7-8pm and get off at like... 1am

[honest wadi]

4 hours a day since launch is 84 total hours gameplay

Might be missing a week

[lyric sluice]

give or take a week

[cyan nest]

I only ever found 1 gold. It was a gold bully i riped off clanker supriem and i died with it in the same match to 3rd party

Havent seen a gold weapon since

[distant blaze]

I work 35hr a week so i’ll hop on and play for maybe two or three hours every other day with some friends

[honest wadi]

Damn

[lyric sluice]

ive done 154 hours so far, i love this game

[distant blaze]

Other than that rounds are too long and too complicated to run in between things

[honest wadi]

I just passed 200 hrs

And I work full time

[lyric sluice]

the marathon bug is real

[honest wadi]

And I went and saw Kodak in concert Monday

[vivid panther]

haven’t had great luck on anomaly, honestly. but I also just don’t like playing on marsh. have had some okay luck with the new pinwheel but haven’t found gold salvage yet.

[honest wadi]

There hasn’t been a game this addicting since OG Fortnite

Or the release of Val

[cyan nest]

Whats val?

[lyric sluice]

yeah ikr, i had to get my friends to get it yesterday its too good to miss

[honest wadi]

Or prime Destiny 2

[vivid panther]

just scratches a really specific itch and I can’t really articulate what it is that I like so much about it.

it just feels so good.

[honest wadi]

Skill ceiling

[distant blaze]

The game hits the same bits that destiny 1 did for me. Feels great and casual

[lyric sluice]

i like that im 150 hours in and still going HUH i didnt know that at least once a day

[honest wadi]

The fresh meta

[cyan nest]

I wouldnt say...casual

[honest wadi]

There’s a casual base

[lyric sluice]

were like semi casual, pre sweat

[vivid panther]

relatable. I just found out earlier this week that if someone uses a conveyance request you can just perpetually call the drone down lol.

[woeful parcel]

But have you opened the 3 red room?

[vivid panther]

yes I have.

[cyan nest]

Yea but like... 90% of the lobbys are just... kill kill kill kill.

Unlike arc thats... heyo frendo want a blueprint?

[honest wadi]

I’d actually give this game its credit and say its sbmm is really good

[lyric sluice]

ppl just gotta stop being afraid, it all wipes, test it all. use it all. die come back again. make mulla

[woeful parcel]

Aight. Ye its not a given itll have gold but still quite often

[vivid panther]

yeah I’ve only really done it like twice. my gear was looking bleak so I had to run a few rook runs last night to stock back up on better guns again.

[woeful parcel]

Just run it solo free kit

[ripe matrix]

Infil > loot > exfil/die > infil

[vivid panther]

I don’t like free kitting unless it’s the mida free kit. and even then, easier to resupply on rook that it is a free kit in my experience.

[honest wadi]

I’m trying to summarize the things that make this game good in a message but it keeps getting to long

[lyric sluice]

[honest wadi]

Free kit is the wave

[lyric sluice]

the raindrops on my face

[ripe matrix]

if it’s a shit free kit I just swap to rook unless I’m in desperate need of contracts

[honest wadi]

Kit with teams

[vivid panther]

yeah exactly. really like my odds better with a punch + a WSTR than a bullshit kit like the free sekiguchi or nucal kit.

[cyan nest]

Ok so i just checked. Ive been playing since day 1 every day. And so far this is my playtime

[honest wadi]

Playing this game is like playing destiny 1 and heading to Venus on Vog release day trying to figure out how to open the door the scenery is beautiful there’s a light layer of fog

And then just when you’re like damn this is amazing you hear a light rain look up and droplets of rain fall on your helmet

[lyric sluice]

then having a trails team spawn in as your looking at the skybox to put you down💀

[woeful parcel]

Doesnt matter. Point is rush the 3 red cards, conveyance and be out before anyone else gets in

Assassin best as you can invis when opening and smoke the room

[honest wadi]

Definitely don’t have time to look at the skybox in marathon 🤣🤣

[lyric sluice]

the amount of times ive died looking at stuff

[woeful parcel]

So you dont have to kill any bots

[lyric sluice]

well i mean, no. but yes

[cyan nest]

Do u have time to stop and look at a random pink bingus?

[honest wadi]

That’s actually wild your vault is blue

[cyan nest]

How so??

[honest wadi]

If the Bingus has time for me

[honest wadi]

Cuz what lvl are you

75-80

[cyan nest]

Um... 73 i believe

[honest wadi]

You need to pray to rngesus

[keen otter]

What level are you in trying a figure out how long it will take me to hit level 100

[queen raven]

I’m lvl like 55 and have 2 rows of purple

Can’t you just buy purple atp?

[unreal sedge]

It's just karma at this point😅

[vivid panther]

that’s not accounting for a lot of RNG like someone else getting a couple of cards or finding conveyance before you.

I get what you’re saying but even if my run doesn’t go perfect I still at least like to get something out of it. never mind if I’m caught out or run into someone else rushing the red cards with an actual loadout, I’m probably cooked if I’m stuck with the volt thrower or the scar.

[honest wadi]

If your factions are ranked

[queen raven]

I mean I’m not hard focusing them at all but I got Arachne/cyac/nucal to 20 so those contracts drop purp

[vivid panther]

I’m closing in on lvl 100 and I still don’t have that upgrade unlocked so I can actually purchase purple shields lol. but also kill enough people with them that it feels arbitrary.

[opal bloom]

bro getting these reflex coils is so hard T-T
-# #sendhelp

[honest wadi]

PvP only and you can get too 100 sub 150hrs prb

[queen raven]

That’s such an expensive upgrade

[unreal sedge]

Changing the inner vault to triple red is pretty awful tbh. Used to be easy to get a red card for an easy exit on rook or trios but now they are permanently gone

[queen raven]

Rip them off a commander’s corpse

[honest wadi]

By the time you get the unlock you won’t need it unless you lose everything at the lose everything factory

[unreal sedge]

That works for trios yeah, making that much noise as rook gets you killed

[vivid panther]

yeah was just typing this basically.

I don’t feel like I need that upgrade. have like 10-11 purple shields at any given moment.

[honest wadi]

Cyac gives me a purple backup almost every rank up at vip

[cyan nest]

I got a decent bit of purple guns. And some purple salvage. But the big thing is i still very very rarely ever see any purples lol. As u can see most of my vault is indeed blue appart from the salvage and few purple guns i got from contracts giveing out purple mods and such

[vivid panther]

lucky you they keep throwing me bullshit green bags lol.

[queen raven]

Fat

[vivid panther]

love buying the purple bag from them though because I don’t feel so bad about losing a plain purple bag as opposed to a med or ammo bag.

[honest wadi]

I like my toast burnt

[honest wadi]

Do you actually notice a difference when using med bags

I don’t even pay attention to it

[cyan nest]

I could .... buy a few purple sheilds with the enzyme replicators but im saveing thoes for the nucaloric blue sheild upgrade

[unreal sedge]

It's very noticeable yeah

[honest wadi]

Not worth the trade save em for Arachne upgrades

[cyan nest]

Whys that. Once nucal is maxed u can get the gold sheild

I believe

[unreal sedge]

Eh I disagree lol def worth the trade for me. Enzymes are way easier to get than purple shields

[woeful parcel]

Get traxus or arachne to vip and youll be swimming in them

[queen raven]

You can’t buy blue shields yet?

[cyan nest]

Nope

[woeful parcel]

You get a million enzyme replicators from pinwheel

[cyan nest]

No i cant

[woeful parcel]

Probs gotten over a hundred out without any materialist bs lol

You 100 should get purp shields with them

[queen raven]

Dang idk what your faction leveling path is but it’s something

[cyan nest]

Well like... again i struggle so hard to find the purple salvage

Ive yet to see or get any prestige salvage

[honest wadi]

I never find any I always get neural insulation

[cerulean swan]

as I udnerstand it prestige salvage is in lock rooms and you CAN get it it now from dire marsh anomoly events.

I just wish the game was waaaay better at telling you what you got from those

[queen raven]

Same

[cyan nest]

@queen raven

[woeful parcel]

The biolense seed for the blue shield upgrade are EXTREMELY hard to get if you dont run lvl3 lockdowb

Like outside of it ive found maybe 3 of them

So not having it is not a wierd faction upgrade path lol

[honest wadi]

Biolens in quarantine or greenhouse container hacks

[cyan nest]

Ive yet to do a lockdown. I want to tho. Just need someone to do it with

[queen raven]

Blue shield barter tho

[opal bloom]

thank you

[woeful parcel]

Ofc, but we were talking about the upgrade to buy em lol

[cerulean swan]

having the option to outright buy it is a nice thing to have even if it doesn't actually make economic sense to buy it constantly

[woeful parcel]

Its ez solo. Dont turn off the red field

[lilac plume]

Thought about inviting you until I saw your profile that has to be a joke lmfao

[lyric trail]

How much does it cost?

[cerulean swan]

I dunno how much blue is sold for by the store.

[cyan nest]

....isint turning off the red feild kinda the point???

[woeful parcel]

No

[lyric trail]

Oh blue is only 2k I thought you meant purple

[woeful parcel]

Keep it on and only people with anti virus can get in

[cerulean swan]

Virus field on lockdown keeps other teams from third partying you

[honest wadi]

no

[lyric trail]

I stockpile 5 blue shields every day

[woeful parcel]

You dont have to deactivate it to start the event

Turning it off is just asking for third party lol

[cerulean swan]

at least complete broke guys from third partying you.

[honest wadi]

people put out videos telling people to turn it off to start the event so they could get easier third parties

LMAO

[woeful parcel]

Kek

Ofc

[cyan nest]

I thought that there were like 3 waves. And each wave gives u better stuff or sumthin.

[cerulean swan]

one anti virus pack easily gets you through it.

[queen raven]

As long as you have an antivirus

[lilac plume]

Hmmm that’s a good point actually

[cerulean swan]

There's three potential events.

[queen raven]

If you don’t you’re SOL

[cerulean swan]

but the waves are the same if I am not mistaken

it's just by the time a third one might spawn you'll have little time to do it

[static hazel]

I haven't got jack shit from the lockdowns, fattest goop I've got is 2x ballistic turbines from the final lockdown

[cerulean swan]

generally if people are doing lockdowns it's a team I'd want to avoid if I wasn't the one doing them. 😛

at least if I am poverty kitted

[lyric trail]

I got 3 biolens from the third lockdown the other day

[cerulean swan]

gib.

I need them

[static hazel]

That's not bad

[lyric trail]

I already had blue shields unlocked lol so it went towards reducing heat cascade damage

[static hazel]

So fun fact if you full kill somebody their anti virus resets to zero

[cerulean swan]

oh lol.

[woeful parcel]

Yup its ass

[static hazel]

If you snipe somebody that's inside the data field trying to do lockdown, shoot them till full kill and you can force the team doing it to turn the field off for you

[lyric trail]

Biolens drop frequently from med cabinets so I had a rook route I used to farm them for blue shield upgrade on dire marsh

[woeful parcel]

Frequently

They do not lol

[lyric trail]

Ya

[cerulean swan]

I haven ever seen a biolens in a med cabinet, huh.

[lyric trail]

Works on my machine

[woeful parcel]

Just lucky

[queen raven]

How often were you finding em?

[cerulean swan]

granted, if you roll enough times above 0% chance you can get there ventually.

[lyric trail]

Maybe 1/10 runs if the cabinet was unlooted

[static hazel]

I got almost all my biolens seeds from MIDA vip levels, they give tons of grenades so contracts from them are always worth it

[cyan nest]

Same. Expecialy considering i only have 3 blues and 3 purps left. Once there gone ill be stuck with greens. I atleast need to be able to buy blues as a relyable fallback when i run dry of sheilds

[lyric trail]

But then I woukd go hit the 100% tarax spawns in greenhouse if I didnt get a biolens

Lots of good barter mats

[cyan nest]

Also its kinda crappy cause its kinda difficult to progress past capstone 3 in most factions without purple salvage

Nucal and cyac are the only ones i got past capstone 2

[wind nexus]

if you really wanna grind it out you get a lot of purple salvage in VIP so just do questing for the xp and you'll get everything you need after a long time

[cyan nest]

Cyac is my only vip rn i believe.

[unkempt sage]

personally I haven't ran dry of shields since I got to 4 blues in the vault. They snowball fast if you bother picking them up. It looks like you've got a nice collection there and I imagine you'll have a similar experience.

That being said, being able to just buy blue shields for 2k kinda ruins the tension of dying a bit ngl-

[mighty elm]

blue key room got me acting like a demon i need to get out of here

[unkempt sage]

bringing a gold backpack with a green shield is some demon shit 😭

[wind nexus]

its a long grind and pretty demoralizing at times but it does get you mats so it's an option for sure

[mighty elm]

i FOUND the bag JUST NOW in blue key room

solo too so its all mine

[cyan nest]

That kinda depends on if i can kill the guy wearing it. But i get what u mean yea

[vital matrix]

Dudes playing Cryo without a mic or any comms at all.

[honest wadi]

im still missing 2 vault keys

[static hazel]

That's how they rush in when they manage get a down on one guy

[cyan nest]

How i lost my cryo free kit

[mighty elm]

extract successful just got my first gold bag

[honest wadi]

good shit RUNNAH

[mighty elm]

https://klipy.com/gifs/gold-medal-kiss-winner

[plain smelt]

Well that’s not fair

[upbeat perch]

i dont think ive seen any of these

[cyan nest]

Time to bring out the New Malpais

[young sonnet]

Thank god scouts have unstoppable this season

[novel shale]

Nah pre nerf Chill Clip

[plain smelt]

good thing I pull lement from cryo last weekend

[young sonnet]

Guillotine off warden last night so dont worry about barriers i got em

God roll obvs

[cyan nest]

If we talkin pre nerf stuff its lament all the way

[heady blaze]

Throw enough heat grenades to trigger an ignition to stun the unstop

[young sonnet]

If were talking pre pre nerf lets just push him off map

[dusky kelp]

Unrelated. Almost done building my PC.

[pseudo mantle]

Jealous mines in the mail as we speak🥲

[dusky kelp]

Ayyyy

[pseudo mantle]

I’m just running a ryzen 7 rn but I can’t wait to upgrade

[dusky kelp]

My first PC build. I bought a prebuilt a few years back, and its very limited. This time Im doing it right.

[swift perch]

Can we get this as a sticker in the discord

[mighty elm]

I found chuck norris

[pure prairie]

RIP

[mighty elm]

broke my spine over the table

[cyan nest]

This is why i dont like playing with super sweats. 1 tiny slip up and u suddenly become the most hated person to ever exist.

....according to them

[zenith meadow]

When they slander your main but they lowkey right 💔🥀

[mighty elm]

i hate this so much but its so damn true

[bronze robin]

How would you fix her movement tho is the question

[edgy kestrel]

what are the bets legendary mods you have ?

[bronze robin]

Her, thief, vandal, and destroyer need their abilities hard swapped around imo

[edgy kestrel]

i recently bought 2 of them for ryo

1 for bully and one for b33

[bronze robin]

That or make her abilities just better

[zenith meadow]

You can’t really they need to flesh out her individuality as it relates to her “recon” role. Clearest and most concise buff is having her ult function like a tad and give intel on actual runners, remove the green ping or make it much larger so th area she casts it from doesn’t get spammed with bullets and grenades, fix the tracking on her drone or rework it to give more information and intel for a general area, maybe increase her movement speed when she kills people who initiate her stalker protocol.

[arctic topaz]

Holy shit that guy is whiny little bitch

[static gazelle]

holy moly its john dark and darker

[unreal sedge]

I think making her actually function without pushing insanely hard would help a lot. I've said it before but interrogation should be on elim, not finisher. And stalker could really be a ping instead of the trail, it's useless without los.

[static gazelle]

her gold core is literally on down you ping everyone else, and guess what, it makes her insanely op

it really shouldnt be basekit

[unreal sedge]

On down yeah that's nuts, elim still is a higher bar

[static gazelle]

elim is literally an extra 5 rounds on the person you switched down

its a higher bar, its not a high bar

[unreal sedge]

If they don't crawl out of los immediately or you get peeked by their teammate

It also is harder to get with util etc

Grenades get knocks pretty easy

🤷either way it's gotta be better than requiring a finisher. That's such an insanely risky requirement
Not only do you have to close with the downed mark but you also have that crazy long animation lock where you are just begging to get shot

[arctic topaz]

I think they should have named her kit "Hunter" tbh - but yeah agree she could use some buffs, will be cool to see what the devs do with her shell

[pliant timber]

Make her able to sniff people

Scent trails everywhere

[signal linden]

Rename recon to Sniffa

[pliant timber]

Yep

This guy gets it

Unfortunately would be useless in marsh because that place probably stinky

[signal linden]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-deniz-deniz-gif-23653159

[heady blaze]

lost it all on cryo

how's everyone else's cryo going

[arctic topaz]

haven't even been inside cryo yet ... I usually am solo. .. doing a good job losing stuff on outpost though!

[brittle walrus]

Fuck its hard being this sexy

[heady blaze]

bruh

[lyric trail]

Change her to bounty hunter, make her drone inflict an unclearable debuff that marks target for everyone on the map and gives gold salvage to whichever team kills that person.

[pliant timber]

ok now fit them into your implant, core, shield, and equipment slots or I’m unsubscribing

[cobalt isle]

my best kit yet

boutta go cryo and destroy everything

no one will stop me

[pure prairie]

Yknow, we haven't seen Mr Beast in a while 🤔

I wonder if that roblox malware got taken down

[granite tartan]

Get yourself an MG mag

[balmy cairn]

bring about 400 more lmg rounds big dog

[lyric trail]

Bring back mr breast

[cobalt isle]

oh shit didnt even notice

good catch

okay put mega belt on and brought more rounds as per suggestions

now im rlly bout to tear it up

brb

[balmy cairn]

take another stack of each green heal too if we’re being honest

unless you’re wiping teams you’ll need them for prolonged fights

[cobalt isle]

oh im wiping teams alright

but ur rifght

[arctic topaz]

I don't think I have enough time or skill to be that sexy jfc you must only play marathon and like ... nothing else?

[cobalt isle]

better

[cobalt isle]

yeah this dude is a coded in boss or some shit lmao

[arctic topaz]

I mean I guess if I only played Marathon and did literally nothing else all day I would maybe get there, but I'm an old man now too.

That or they're cheating but I wouldn't actually accuse someone of that without real proof.

[cobalt isle]

yeah nah i dont got time to be playing like these folks either T_T wild amounts of loot

[feral lagoon]

Song?

[bronze robin]

Nah he's a different guy

He's like my frenemy

[torn hare]

He's probably in Saudi Arabia at his new theme park 💀

[halcyon atlas]

one person shooting a single gun btw

[torn hare]

Biotoxico momento

[scarlet yew]

They gave their lesson

[still stump]

HOLY FUCKKKK

[queen raven]

Pinwheel or cryo?

Ah I see the missives

You made out like a bandit

[keen fox]

so this happened in cyro

[granite tartan]

teamwiped by melee rip

[keen fox]

no melee I was already outside the map before the team arrived

[still stump]

cryo

dude the random i was playing with popped the fuck off and killed like 7 people with a wstr in like 15 seconds

im tryna get the clip from him

[fringe summit]

everyone in cryo be like: stay together guys we got this!!

no you dont the biotoxic is coming

[pure prairie]

💀 Not with the evac order

[woeful parcel]

Crazy how theyre listening

[vivid panther]

okay so that makes her much better already lol.

love how responsive they are.

[pure prairie]

Well that was fast

[woeful parcel]

Its all I wanted for it really. Still keeps signal jammer relevant but doesnt fully fuck the ability

[pure prairie]

It's honestly a good middle ground resolution

I'm down with those changes

[woeful parcel]

Yeh its perfect

Recon atm just feels like the recon player can take advantage of the pings but not the team

Shit just overwhelms you with a shit ton of pings

[torn hare]

Yep

[cobalt isle]

lost everything

i mean tbf i did wipe teams

[woeful parcel]

Very interesting what vandal will look like

[analog roost]

Oh dang that's huge for recon!

[cobalt isle]

i just have no idea how to exfil on cryo we got to exfil station and it was a 3 minute counter but it didnt exfil us at the end

[twin shuttle]

new recon buff is 🔥

[woeful parcel]

@cobalt isle you have to go to the guarded exfil it pings

Not stand at the console 😅

[cobalt isle]

ohhh

the secret exfil thing?

[woeful parcel]

Its a mad dash once you press

Ye

It only shows up for your team

[cobalt isle]

ah hell nah that was all the way across the map

[woeful parcel]

Yep thats the point

Itll take like 2 mins to get there

[cobalt isle]

and im supposed to beat a compiler bruh and exful

for the skin

[woeful parcel]

Just gotta leg it. Its the same for everyone

Complier kill has its own exfil

Lol

[granite tartan]

basically using the console is taking the golden idol and the exfil timer is the giant ball that chases you

[cobalt isle]

man i wish i could game as much as i used to i would love to do all that shit

[woeful parcel]

You also gotta clear all vaults and exfil the ai subroutine in each(not same run)

I mean you can work on it each weekend

Just get a vault done and get the subroutine out

[granite tartan]

did they say if the subroutines are being reset over seasons or not

[woeful parcel]

Then you can run compiler "free" (need a purp key that drops in cryo)

[cobalt isle]

yeah ive been trying with my brother but we barely have anything in game yet so we arent geared enough to do that stuff yet, am worried it'll wipe by the time we even have gear

[woeful parcel]

Aint nobody know. Afaik codex should stay but idk... Seems a bit op if it stays

[pastel anvil]

made some notes for cryo archive for me and my m8s, thought i may aswell share ts to try and help sum ppl out

[woeful parcel]

Youve got 2 months still. You can do it

Run outpost 3 red key room for keys

[cobalt isle]

2 months left? not bad

[woeful parcel]

Always drops one

[cobalt isle]

bet ill start watching guides too and ill read that pdf

[woeful parcel]

Sick ty

@cobalt isle if you dont make it this season itll still be there next season

And youll come more prepared for it

[static gazelle]

WE WON

[cobalt isle]

true i need that skin imma have to get it soon

[woeful parcel]

Yeee the skins are sick

[high sparrow]

biotox is so stupidly overpowered man there's no counterplay

[woeful parcel]

As it should be

😅

Should maybe be 1 per run tough, not 3

And have to bring ammo with it. No free ammo

[pure prairie]

🤔 Now how can we improve Vandal

[twin shuttle]

@cyan nest recon buffs came out

[pure prairie]

The only things I can really think up are decreasing the charge time to full charge on the arm canon, and maybe giving the slide more velocity...but that doesn't really address her kit for trios

[granite tartan]

we don't even know if these are all of her buffs

[zealous wigeon]

Heheheh i called it

[granite tartan]

actually sorry we know these are not all of her buffs

"A preview of some of the Recon buffs"

[twin shuttle]

yes

[candid yacht]

Looks like good buffs without having to rework her kit

[zealous wigeon]

Very happy with the recon buffs, their ult at the moment works kinda counter intuitively for me where it just overwhelms me and gives my position away

[high sparrow]

nah man its insane that when i get a drop on people wiith biotoxes they can just all right click at the same time and its a guaranteed wipe of our team

[woeful parcel]

My fear is they make you able to shoot when sliding. Itll be so broken 😅

[candid yacht]

And decrease the time to activate ult

[zealous wigeon]

That’s likely way too strong but as a diehard Vandal main i kinda want it …

[woeful parcel]

If you did all that shit to get compiler kills. Yeah it should be op.

[woeful parcel]

Oh I want it. But it will be so broken lol

The amount of people with the compiler gun is such a small percentage it dont matter if its op as shit

[zealous wigeon]

Vandal gets outclassed so hard by thief with repositioning capabilities & then Thief has so so much more they can do

I say its fair Vandal gets to be strong …

[woeful parcel]

Eh its on a long cd

[zealous wigeon]

Yeah but ur not usually using many slides in a fight

[woeful parcel]

Vs vandal constant. I played thief for a good 100h first before going back to vandal. Its so much better

[zealous wigeon]

Since its such a long animation

[woeful parcel]

Use it for repositions

Not getting in

[zealous wigeon]

Thiefs grapple just gives u sm more distance and gives u height too

[zealous wigeon]

Well yeah thats what im saying thief is better for

[woeful parcel]

And again its once

On a long cd

🤷

[zealous wigeon]

Well yeh but its sm more efficient and effective

Idk

[pure prairie]

Would it be that broken? We have 'dolphin dive' adjacent movement abilities...kind of

Not omnidirectional, but you get the vibes

[candid yacht]

I just think the vandal slide for reposition can screw you sometimes

[zealous wigeon]

U can get height off of 1 click and have advantage just like that

[woeful parcel]

You really want vandals sliding in with signal jammer blasting shotguns?

😂😂

[zealous wigeon]

Idk how u buff their slide without it being too broken its a v slippery slope

[woeful parcel]

It is

[pure prairie]

Hyperbole aside - Compared against Destroyer movement it doesn't seem that absurd.

[woeful parcel]

I dont think she needed any changes personally

[pure prairie]

You're just...lower to the ground

inb4 someone says "It makes you harder to hit" aim down 💀

[zealous wigeon]

I’d like slight buffs but eh yeah they’re capable, i’ll never stop playing them just coz they’re the most fun

[woeful parcel]

Make the blast more usable and less time to shoot AFTER youve slid

[twin shuttle]

i think they will make it so that you can bind normal slide and charged slide for vandal as one of the changes. that would balance it no?

[woeful parcel]

Is all id want

[zealous wigeon]

Maybe something like generating abit less heat for double jumps & slides

[woeful parcel]

Thats what your ult is for

[zealous wigeon]

That sounds interesting

[pure prairie]

The ult could probably use some love

Even if it's just a number adjustment

[woeful parcel]

Thatd be ass for console players

[twin shuttle]

that way you can charged slide > short slide into an engage

[zealous wigeon]

Yea true … just throwing around ideas

[woeful parcel]

I dont see em doing it just because of controller

[high sparrow]

hell no ur braindead for thinking that

no offence

[pure prairie]

Are we ignoring all the other console games that allow you to slide and aim at the same time?

[woeful parcel]

Fuck you too 😂

[pure prairie]

I mean fuck, COD

[unreal sedge]

Yeah there are way too many of those circulating around for them to be broken

[pure prairie]

Apex

(Those are the only two that come to mind rn lmfao)

[zealous wigeon]

Like being able to cancel out of ur long slide, but still being unable to shoot whilst in that animation?

Idk if thats what u said tbh

[woeful parcel]

No he means being able to do a normal slide

And not just power slide

Lol

[zealous wigeon]

Ah

[twin shuttle]

nah more like you still have the charged slide, but you have the option to normal slide if you want

[zealous wigeon]

I got u now

[twin shuttle]

i FEEL like they would add that

[zealous wigeon]

Being able to cancel ur long slide dosent seem too op? As long as ur unable to shoot whilst sliding still

[woeful parcel]

@high sparrow Glad you lost all your shit. I hope all you meet is people using the compiler gun

😂

@zealous wigeon i tought about that but it would still go hard

Being able to cancel into ads

[zealous wigeon]

Yeahh

[woeful parcel]

Still basicly means shooting while sliding

[zealous wigeon]

It might be too strong

[woeful parcel]

But

I guess destroyer can do that

But he cant spam slide like vandal

🤷

[unreal sedge]

The destroyer horizontal burst movement is so fast too. If you can aim while doing that, you kind of deserve it

[woeful parcel]

Afaik adsing cancels it

Least my buddy was talking about it. I could be wrong

[zealous wigeon]

Destroyer is the only shell i’ve only played once, and it was my first even game during the server slam

Lmao

[woeful parcel]

It feels like playing a different game

[zealous wigeon]

Im mostly staying away from them because i find the design boring

[woeful parcel]

I love it but cant wrap my head around it. Ill play him start of next season

[zealous wigeon]

They seem rlly strong

Getting peeks for free with a shield is ridiculous

And the cooldown is so short

[woeful parcel]

Destroyer is insane in the right hands

I try to push our destroyer to do those crazy plays but hes a bit scared haha

[zealous wigeon]

lol

[cyan nest]

Sweet. Where are the buff details, i wana read and see what they did

[woeful parcel]

As part of our mid-season update planned for April 14, we've got some notable changes and updates on the way. But by popular demand we wanted to share just a few early - specifically, a preview of some of the Recon changes that are incoming.

• ⭕ Echo Pulse: This will now distinguish between the Runner and UESC targets that are pinged. We're also reducing its visibility to enemies, making it a bit tougher for enemy Runners to gauge if they're in range. Notably, if you're a Runner who cleverly used their Signal Jammer before Echo Pulse hit you, you'll also show up as UESC. Use this power wisely.
• 🕷️ Tracker Drone: Your friendly neighborhood Tracker Drone is about to get a bit more aggressive. With 1.0.6 we're improving its tracking strength and allowing it to find a new target to track if it cannot reach its current target. Runner beware.

That's just a taste of what's to come. Keep some tick milk on ice, we'll share the full patch notes closer to 1.0.6's release date.

Give me deets on vandal 😭

[zealous wigeon]

These changes to Recon r gonna make them so so strong

Atp i wouldn’t be surprised if u can slide cancel with Vandal

[woeful parcel]

Yeah I think they might over correct

One of the codex entries is "kill a runner after power sliding"

So they clearly want you to do it

[zealous wigeon]

I think it’s specifically with a shotgun too

[woeful parcel]

Maybe they were scared so they toned it down for launch

Yeah with a shotgun

[zealous wigeon]

I never use Vandals slide to push in

[woeful parcel]

Nah. Youre a sitting duck

[zealous wigeon]

Its way way too risky

[cyan nest]

The echo pulse one sounds great

[woeful parcel]

Also

Vandal

[zealous wigeon]

That mastery achievement makes it seem like they want u to use it offensively u r correct

[woeful parcel]

😂😂 Signal jammer doesnt hide vandal

[cyan nest]

But....why tho

[woeful parcel]

The sleeves still show up on thermal

[zealous wigeon]

Oh? I didn’t know

[woeful parcel]

Ye

[zealous wigeon]

Sounds like a bug

[woeful parcel]

Yeah I just saw it today

Its why as vandal you might trigger lasers

And be like wtf

Because the sleeves have a hitbox? Idk

[zealous wigeon]

Well thats good to know lol

[woeful parcel]

Happens with all the skins

Also ive spotted so many people with thermals because of the heal drone showing their location

😂

[lyric trail]

Wait you arrnt supposed to use it offensively?

I assumed you were because of the mastery achievement

[woeful parcel]

Well yeah but you really cant

[lyric trail]

That explains why she felt so ass at cqc when I used her 2 or 3 times

[woeful parcel]

Takes so long after using it

[lyric trail]

I thought I just did something wrong

[woeful parcel]

Before you can shoot etc

Using ult helps a little

But sliding into people/close is still a death sentence atm

[lyric trail]

Yeah I was confused why I couldnt shoot my shotgun

[woeful parcel]

Mm

Itd be op af

Haha

[granite tartan]

45 melee damage, 3 light knifed a blue shield destroyer who decided to step in my bubble when i was on exfil :|

[lyric trail]

She needs it

[woeful parcel]

Nah

Itll be insanely op and people will whine so hard lol

And im a vandal main

😂

[lyric trail]

Little bro

You have to underplay these things

Dont let them see your hand

She needs it shes so weak

[woeful parcel]

I dont want it because it will be ass to play against

So ass

[lyric trail]

Lol

[granite tartan]

I just dont see why her slide is "enhanced" over other shells but can't do things during slide like other shells can

[woeful parcel]

Itll be fun af to play

[granite tartan]

at least let me melee ffs

[lyric trail]

Honestly I think she does need consistant access to rocket jumpjng though

For series dna if nothing else

Let me get the core in the shop when I want

[cyan nest]

Or.... make "Tag" blue and "cut to the chase" green.

(But ngl i like tag being green. Tag feels op for a green core. Lol)

[zenith meadow]

I have to get my ass blasted in Cryo for two weekends b4 the recon buffs 🥀💔

[lyric trail]

Tag is awesome yeah

Vandal gets a better recon ult as a green core 😭

Does cryo go live today btw?

[cyan nest]

I think

[twin shuttle]

it's been live yes

[novel ridge]

live rn

[cyan nest]

Also... i kinda wished ARC or Marathion would have a 1 in a million item that can only be found on cryo thats litteraly just called... the kitchen sink. (And its litteraly a sink)

The runners took everything... even the kitchen sink

Obv there not ever gonna do this but it would be funny af if they did

[lyric trail]

Lets go I may get to play it this weekend

But only iron sights....

the irons are pretty clean

ive shit on people with it numerous times

[torn hare]

Yea they arent too bad

gimme a countdown lets queue at same time

[vivid panther]

I had to spend last night doing rook runs to get my gear back up. took L after L

[vernal crest]

getting at this late but yeah its how i thought about it too until i tried to slide at a turret to knife it and i slid directly into it, then off of it and quickly past it without being able to do anything because you have to wait to fully recover from the slide animation before you can attack or shoot, and the power slide being longer means it has a longer recovery before you can shoot

its stinky

[trail sigil]

CAN THE NEW BROKEN WING POWER BOX THINGS BE PLACES OTHER THAN ON THE WING OR ORIENTATION?

woops didnt mean to caps

[vivid panther]

they go out pretty far. Have found one in that little hangar deal between airfield and orientation. the one that has the ladder/platform you can use to climb up outside of orientation.

[radiant gale]

I thought it was removed XD

[vivid panther]

they turned it back on in the most recent update.

[radiant gale]

Oh neat

[trail sigil]

word, ill check there too ty

[vivid panther]

to specify I don’t mean the two hangars in airfield it’s between the two but I’m sure you get what I mean

[trail sigil]

yeah i know the one ur talkin about

[vivid panther]

someone has the spawns updated. might be one of the interactive maps you can find online.

[torn hare]

Damn bro u gotta ... i forgor

[opal bloom]

HAHAHAAH

[cyan nest]

5 rooks

[chilly cove]

Destroyed wing is honestly useless

No reason to do it when u can get conveyance 30 seconds into the match

[pearl cave]

They just need to make the game feel like an extraction shooter!! Make the loot good on all maps!! Nobody is looting, people are just pushing spawns, killing and resetting!!

[upper solstice]

extracting loot from other players is pretty key to an extraction shooter

[pearl cave]

^^ this guy is a call of duty TDM player

[granite tartan]

I mean, a lot of people are looting, otherwise there would be no loot economy

[pearl cave]

It’s the same experience every game. Push spawns and take other teams loot. No point in looting because you know it’s gonna be shit unless you got a key. The game doesn’t have a live economy? So it wouldn’t be a loot economy lol

That’s why the player base is dropping every week.

I love the game but they need to realize what they got wrong and change it or Sony gonna drop it like a bad habit in a year.

[glad geode]

Now put that on cod.

It’s the same every game, spawn with your guns and run to shoot the players on the map

[pearl cave]

Also need to add material exchange and maybe a live market like tarkov to make faction upgrades obtainable by all players

[glad geode]

You sound like someone who sells items

[pearl cave]

LOL, that was good. I’ll give you that one

[lyric trail]

Just squad filled with a guy in cryo who could not stop burping over open mic

Every breath out was a burp

Holy shit im dying rn

Cant stop laughing

[unreal sedge]

Open mics are hilarious

I had a guy have a full on fight with his SO mid game

Push to talk cannot be this hard. To be clear I prefer open mic to no mic but ptt is far superior to both

why? you get to keep leveling after 30. and you get mostly purple rewards by doing so. there's nothing wrong with it. its a good thing

[brittle walrus]

another 4 for the collection

[upper solstice]

That's why

[granite tartan]

why haven't you been opening them 😭

[woven marten]

free vault space for backpacks ngl

[woven marten]

it is, but also, cyac is super easy to get post-vip levels

for other factions, they tend to give blue/purple salvage, and they are deffo worth opening asap until you get all upgrades

[granite tartan]

@brittle dawn you tell me lol

[brittle dawn]

Okay, So how do you grace the livestock?

[static gazelle]

im very happy with the buffs :)

holy shit
how?

did u just do the event over and over again

Brother your insta feed almost exclusively spies on content you already consume and talk about near your phone, trust me I know from personal experience

u should see the destroyer + assassin yaoi

how will my 2d art ever compete with these renders

[torn hare]

Send it here rn

[pastel harbor]

sad

[pastel harbor]

go seek it yourself

i'm ngl i prefer thief over the other female shells

[brisk garden]

comparison is the thief of joy :3

[dusty cairn]

Vandal the baddest no way

[pastel harbor]

no, thief is the thief of joy

[brisk garden]

as easy as it is to harp on about such, I know actually fighting these thoughts is a much more difficult notion <w<

[brisk garden]

wait you're so true

[pastel harbor]

nyehehe

[torn hare]

Fair lol

[pastel harbor]

lol

idk i feel like most of the down bad art hasn't been that like

idk

[strong dawn]

When is the recon buff coming out?

[pastel harbor]

not rlly for me

anywho

[pastel harbor]

supposedly soon?

[strong dawn]

im so excited

[torn hare]

Milk is 100% right here, study other art you love and use models for reference and you'll improve before you know it

[brisk garden]

call me whole milk the way I be 100%

ahem sorry I had to

[torn hare]

Like not too freaky? I agree, i think alot of that is because the shells themselves are super unique and not sexualized from the get-go like alot of other female characters in games especially

My rule of thumb is it's good fanart as long as it matches the characters attitude, style, and proportions

3rd one is important for more risque art imo

[pastel harbor]

yeah i mean like i just feel like i haven't really seen a lot of fanart that's super marathon-y for me

idk

[torn hare]

Ah i misunderstood

[pastel harbor]

most of it has just been 3d renders

[pastel harbor]

oh

[torn hare]

Glorp

[pastel harbor]

no like there's def super freaky ones

[torn hare]

I see i see

[pastel harbor]

i've seen the yaoi it goes insane

[cerulean swan]

getting the graphic style to come through on 2d art is certainly a challenge. It requires a different skillset than illustration to get the graphic design schtick to come through.

[torn hare]

That's a good point

[pastel harbor]

yeah

i mean

[torn hare]

Combo of 2d and 3d is always fun to see like with typography overlaid

[pastel harbor]

i think the one i made most recently was really marathony

can't find it

it was the one where thief was eating the burger

[cerulean swan]

I need to get around to working on some marathon inspired stuff.

Too busy working on the things that put food on my table.

cryo gonna be fun this weekend

[pastel harbor]

i found it

dis wan

btw did i mention MY WEAVEWORM CAME IN THE MAILLL

yEAAAAH

[brisk garden]

you can also buy them by getting mida's 5th capstone :3

[cerulean swan]

besides going a bit crazier with the text, like offset repitition, that's rpetty good.

[torn hare]

@pastel harbor i can say that I myself haven't seen a ton of crazy freaky fanart thus far mostly more tame stuff, maybe it's certain parts of the community that you happen to see more often

[dusty cairn]

Dude why are cyac actually loansharks

[torn hare]

This is dope love the clothing

[pastel harbor]

bahah i see every side of the community's fanart

[dusty cairn]

I had like 200k and buying all the upgrades brought me down to 50k

I will say I am getting a fairly consistent 10k per rook run on perimiter which is nice

so uncontested today

[pastel harbor]

Nucaloric® Burger™

[cerulean swan]

I intend to make a pngtuber that is shell style, though my computer struggles to stream the game without killing the framerate too much.

[torn hare]

Besides, I think some degree of nsfw or whatever fanart is pretty much guaranteed for any game with remotely attractive characters lol. So imo it's not really a big deal, there's plenty of non freaky fanart to consume with Marton

[cerulean swan]

now the people that don't include the clearly artificial doll like joints are cowards.

[pastel harbor]

true

[torn hare]

I mean yea like I said it's always better when the model or art is accurate as possible

👍

[pastel harbor]

i had a phase where i drew characters with doll joints

icl it's really really cool

i like

i think it makes it more interesting to have a character have like

a prosthetic or sumn

[torn hare]

Sounds fun

[pastel harbor]

mmm

is tiring

i haven't drawn much recently

tired and busy

[prime kayak]

message to devs , add a VR traiing where you can play with the guns

all players, go away

its great that in DS2 i can play with my new toys, in marathon you can not play with your toys

[robust sierra]

Fellas is there anyway to fast track some cheater reports , I got 3 on EU that I keep queing up against and they are nearly level 200

[prime kayak]

if a player of your game gets one of the new weapons you designed, wouldnt it be great it you allowed them to use it in a training environment?

wouldnt it be cool if you could play with the weapon?

[torn hare]

I'm sure we'll get a firing range of some sort eventually

Would be dope

[arctic topaz]

I think we all want at least a firing range of sorts, I do hate that I can't practice with guns - the railgun I feel like is terrible but might be situationally good especially against UESC heavy dudes but I can't get the timing down well and it's too expensive to risk losing just to try to learn it

like I"d rather sell any railguns I get and buy other guns like ... any ... other guns

[unreal sedge]

Yeah the railguns are just significantly worse than the snipers

[prime kayak]

i rlly wish there was an option to "play" with all of your tools

imagine trying to play deadlock without having like 40 hours in bot matches

[thorny jungle]

Yeah they seem much mote viable for UESC than PVP

[prime kayak]

the marathon devs have successfully made an extremely interesting environment, but i cant ever explore it

i still dont understand why most MP games dont allow solo maps, where it is only you

[torn hare]

... yes you can? I die in like 60% of runs and have hundreds of lore entries unlocked

The maps are compact and extremely easy to explore

[thorny jungle]

Firing range would be great. This wouldn't happen but I would love some sort of exploration mode. No progression or looting, optional PVE, just getting to observe the map and stuff.
Closest we have are Rook runs. Less heat, no contracts, so more time to explore

[prime kayak]

i hear ya but why cant i just join a map solo without it being an online server

i wanna explore like it was gamecube

[arctic topaz]

I think the railguns are meant to be used to get good initial shots off against the biggest UESC baddies; at least that's how I would try to use them if I didn't bring a few in and absolutely beef it every time then decide to swear off them.

[torn hare]

Would massively split up the player base and remove any sense of threat or tension from the map, imo

[prime kayak]

i swear this is fake news, allowing players to explore your maps would not break up the base

[torn hare]

Ok

[prime kayak]

let an explorere explor

[thorny jungle]

How? It'd be offline solo.
No progression, no loot, maybe optional PVE. Just getting to look around the map, learn POIs, stuff like that

[arctic topaz]

maybe the reason is just because they don't want to spin up the stuff server side and I don't think you can actually run maps strictly on the client side?

[torn hare]

My point is it is genuinely completely unnecessary, literally all the priority quests, gameplay loop, and hundreds of codex lore entries are easily accessible and the maps explorable in normal gameplay

[prime kayak]

your name is orange how am i supposed to believe you

[arctic topaz]

I genuinely don't know I just know I've heard a lot of talk abotu how much of this isn't client side so that could be part of it?

[torn hare]

Oh yeah tons of the game is server side, isn't it less than 20 gb?

[prime kayak]

kidding btw

[arctic topaz]

Traxus just has the cool drip, I don't actually worship at the altar of our corpo-overlords I do all their bidding

[thorny jungle]

Traxus is my least-favorite in terms of like lore but goddamn their drip goes hard

[arctic topaz]

just like the rest of us grinding those goddamn quests (right now trying to get all my factions to 10 for the priority quests) - being solo I think makes my progression for factions slower?

[prime kayak]

if you think being able to explore your 3d realm is pointless, i have no idea what to say to that

[thorny jungle]

Anti-caution? Fire
Vulcan? hot af incredible aura
Industrial brutalism aesthetic? Sick

[torn hare]

I didn't say that. I said exploring the 3d realm already naturally happens for everyone as you play the game normally.

[prime kayak]

forgive me

[torn hare]

Hence making an offline solo exploration mode a waste of resources

[prime kayak]

u rlly think offline solo is a waste?

[torn hare]

Would require moving most of the game client side anyway

[arctic topaz]

Here's another consideration about exploration. You can go in with a free kit or as a rook and explore with zero risk. Just go run around; sure you'll get murdered sooner or later if you're just being crazy with your movement but if you'd just be doing single player stuff with zero progression or loot, same dif

[torn hare]

Yes, the entire concept and design of everything in the game including all the exploration, lore discovery mechanics, and genre center around a combination of multiplayer pvp and pve

[thorny jungle]

Yes and no. There's not often time to check out all the nooks and crannies when you're booking it to an objective
For instance (hear me out), you could learn the different ways to access Pinwheel solo so ur not floundering in a match

[torn hare]

You learn the ways to enter pinwheel through triall and error quite quickly in a few runs

if this is true, why is there no proper solo que

i dont wnna hear about rook

[torn hare]

...there is.

You can queue solo with other solo players

[prime kayak]

what about solo queing with no mic, purelky alone?

[thorny jungle]

Like singleplayer?

[torn hare]

That's not the same as a solo queue, this is not a singleplayer game

[cyan nest]

VANDALizeing public property

[torn hare]

🔥

[prime kayak]

yes

[arctic topaz]

This is not a singleplayer game.

[prime kayak]

you should write that on the steam page for your game

[torn hare]

It quite literally is categorized as a multiplayer team based extraction shooter on steam

[prime kayak]

it sucks ass that its impossible to play solo

[torn hare]

You cannot expect every game to completely change up its design and genre to suit your personal preference

[torn hare]

What? It isn't though

Why make stuff up?

[prime kayak]

i CAN expect that the balance of solo would be different that mp

[torn hare]

I've played 170h mostly solo and yes it's obvious that it's more difficult than trios but it's still brutally fun

[prime kayak]

why not just,,,, balance a seperate mode for solo?

[torn hare]

It kind of is a different game than trios lol

[torn hare]

Solo is not unbalanced though, it has minor issues but at the end of the day players can easily adapt to solo OR trio whichever suits the given contract or way that they wish to play

Most of its issues are easily fixable

[prime kayak]

what if i said that games should be able to be played solo

[arctic topaz]

You can play solo queue with other people that are solo... you can't play a single player game.

[rustic geode]

they need to make every single player game multi player

[prime kayak]

this is a problem imo, why is the game inaccessable unless you have a team of 4

[arctic topaz]

very true, there's definitely differences in the way you have to play in solo vs trios.

[prime kayak]

even arc shitters fixed this

[arctic topaz]

it's not? I'm playing solo right now

[torn hare]

That's your personal preference, again you cannot expect game designers to bend over backward to accommodate that in their game when it is literally not meant to be a singleplayer game in any of its promotional material, description, cinematics, or design elements

[torn hare]

4??? 😭

Ok you're just trolling

[prime kayak]

i dont see how forcing teams is good

solo is more intense anyways

[torn hare]

Are you going to go advocate for Overwatch to become singleplayer?

[torn hare]

Not in all cases

[prime kayak]

no because who tf plays overwatch

[arctic topaz]

yeah greypanda is just a troll idk why I'm over here trying to talk lol

[prime kayak]

im not troll i just wish devs were better

[jolly goblet]

They’re adding 6 person teams next patch and you all get one of the runner shells and you’re also going up against a team of 6 and there’s an item shop where you get credits off UESC and you can get kit and there are 3 lanes in pinwheel where UESC spawn and there are zip lines that take you to lane faster and the compiler is this tower boss that protects your durandal ai core that the other team has to kill to win

[prime kayak]

you were paid to say this

[hearty kayak]

but who funds Arachne

that is the question

[torn hare]

Hundreds of thousands of people

[torn hare]

Why are you even here?

[prime kayak]

im having fun, are you not?

[torn hare]

You want a completely different game and seem to believe that game devs are obligated to add what YOU personally want even if it means switching up the entire structure of the game from the bottom up

[fallen sail]

They're funded by the UESC to spread antirunner sentiment

[jolly goblet]

Me

[torn hare]

True lmao

[prime kayak]

[arctic topaz]

i kinda wish that those skins were themed after the spht not the literal cryo chamber

triage looks like a terminator tho

which is kinda awesome

[prime kayak]

do the devs plan on adding solo mode

it would be nice to know if solo players are allowed or not

imagine not being able to test out your new weapon

[brittle walrus]

cryo 100%'d new map when

[prime kayak]

never a solo mode?

do the devs play any games with friends?

[brittle walrus]

wdym i only solo and have 100%'d cryo

no squad fill ever

[prime kayak]

some people like CBT

[brittle walrus]

sound like it might be a skill issue

[prime kayak]

tell that to the entire playerbase

"the ai enemies are dogshit levels of difficult, have fun"

[brittle walrus]

sounds like it might be a skill issue

[prime kayak]

"just play a certain class" and still get rolled by the ai that spawns from nowhere

atleast in *** ****** it feels good to shoot down an ai

didnt these devs make destiny 2?

[cyan nest]

Lol

[fringe summit]
