[empty estuary]

Man they kneecapped the free loadout HARD

[hazy jackal]

it would be like PUBG and CoD Warzone coming in and then apex coming in with a different combat and artstyle that pops

[hollow gulch]

Oh man. Tier 4 capstone upgrade for Arachne lets you start with the DB on Rook

[zenith blaze]

but i feel like gunplay and lore are a shout, marathon's lore has been something thats been delved into for a long while, the marathon franchise was bungie's original baby afterall

[hazy jackal]

free loadouts fucking suck but I ain't complaining because it gives a means to learn wtf the weapons are

though apparently I've gotten enough vaulted gear that it's no longer tossing me into newbie lobbies

[hollow gulch]

Free loadies were always intended as quest fodder and scouting

[balmy mason]

Managed to finish 3/4 of the server contracts

1 left

[hazy jackal]

i've also haven't even managed to do that stupid quest in dire marash

[cold musk]

was t dmz the open world zombies ngl i liked it

[hollow gulch]

Find a proxy chat friend

[hazy jackal]

i've been killed by teams while trying to do that contract or my team just doesn't do it

i haven't encountered a single person on voice chat yet

[zenith blaze]

also extraction shooter, you might be thinking of the cod zombies one that was from, i think, mw3

[cold musk]

cant remember whitch cod had dmz

yea it was warzones but with zombies

[zenith blaze]

mw2 was what had dmz

[balmy mason]

Any of you managed to get the Twitch drop btw?

[hollow gulch]

Cold war had an open world zombies map

[balmy mason]

Mine is not progressing

[hazy jackal]

after i finish eating dinner I'm going to do the fucking mida contract instead

gonna just smash some windows

[cold musk]

cw was outbreak

[zenith blaze]

dmz wasnt the zombies one though, it basically played like a very average extraction shooter

mw3 had that open world zombies thing

oh wait, we could just ask kat

[empty estuary]

Extraction shooter with pretty much 0 risk

[cold musk]

yea it might be mw3 one

[zenith blaze]

@bright crown KAT

[cold musk]

summon the cat

[zenith blaze]

which cod game had the open world zombies thing

it was basically warzone but zombies

[cold musk]

other then cold wars

[hollow gulch]

Whenthe menu music starts hitting those guitar plucks

[empty estuary]

Mw3 with MWZ

[balmy mason]

Nice it's counting

[sharp scarab]

Free loadouts are prettt strong in this game

[lone mountain]

I wish I could send a image

[sharp scarab]

Just be active and you’ll unlock it

[cold musk]

free loadout so you can go in with random stuff?

n if you die you lose it

[hollow gulch]

Not at all

[lone mountain]

I know I am pretty active

[sharp scarab]

It’s free

[lone mountain]

I just needed to send some but I’ll wait

[sharp scarab]

You not losing it

[hollow gulch]

You get a basic nothingburger kit for free, go in and can take as much as you can hold back out

[balmy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/zzz-zenless-zone-zero-belle-image-perms-gif-16211658476521656189

[hollow gulch]

With or without slaughter

[cold musk]

i wan try it but pvppve isnt my thing

to much to focus on lul

[hollow gulch]

You dont have to do pve if you dont want to

[zenith blaze]

yeah, if you die with the free loadout gear it wont technically matter

[zenith blaze]

honestly, you rarely bump into people because its a fairly big map with 8 teams of 3 runners

[bright crown]

HAI YE

[bright crown]

mw3 it was modern warfare zombies

[zenith blaze]

@cold musk there is thy answer

thank you kat

[bright crown]

MWZ

[bright crown]

np

[cold musk]

thanks kat^^

[zenith blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/fuwamoco-internet-debate-bau-bau-gif-12436518011737535757

[cold musk]

yea was saying i actually liked it

[wanton wasp]

ngl i would like a duo queue in marathon

[cold musk]

open world zombies is fun

[wanton wasp]

2v3 kinda sucks sometimes

[bright crown]

honestly it was enjoyable for a bit

[cold musk]

i always played alone n helped random teams n left not caring bout loot

[bright crown]

but the onyl repeatable gameplay is doing the dark aether elder sigil rewards for the blueprints

so after you get all of it theres not much else

[cold musk]

they even asked if i wanted to join em

imo i LOVED cold wars outbreak

idk something bout open world zombies is hella fun

[junior flume]

WW2 zombies was my fav.

[wispy tundra]

There's free kits so you're never going in with nothing and there's also rook which is like the tarkov scav run equivalent

Rook being forced solo + you load in with a randomized kit + you join a trios match in progress

Plus has no abilities other than being able to disguise itself as uesc so you're able to just loot goblin and ignore the Ai if you want

[sharp scarab]

Free loadout for the win

Just took some purple gear from someone

Free loadout needs a timer or something

[wispy tundra]

It will have one

The economy in this beta is boosted a fair bit

[empty estuary]

I wish we could view the actual in game map of a location before we load into a match, idk if im loading into the right map

[wispy tundra]

In the alpha you got one free sponsored kit daily and then any further uses would cost credits

[sharp scarab]

Yeah but free kit with no timer is op

[wispy tundra]

I'm guessing it'll be like that outside of the big open beta

[sharp scarab]

Just run in use free loadout and kill extract

[wispy tundra]

Yeah that's why I just said it will most likely be limited to one free one a day

[empty estuary]

Nah

[sharp scarab]

Nah

[wispy tundra]

That's how it was for a majority of the playtests until they turned on the economy boosts for them

Unless they changed their mind on that I would expect that to still be the intent there otherwise rook is pointless

It's not like buying the sponsored kits was super expensive either and you could easily go positive on credits on a run you died just from data cards

Which convert to credits in pickup and don't need to be extracted

[red slate]

dps? never heard of them

[sharp scarab]

Ever since he got flight

[empty estuary]

Just had a 3 kill match

Im so goated and shi

Nvm it was two kills

Though i accidentally stole one but i just third partied

Stacked on green shields now cause of those kills though

Oh that mida intro is kinda cool

As cool as text screens can be anyways

[wispy tundra]

Oh they weren't even secretly reducing player density for the opening day they just had it defaulting to the lower player density version for people lol

[wanton wasp]

I'm liking marathon so far

The ttk is good I reckon

Not a fan of no duo queue tho

[wispy tundra]

Yeah, I'm not sure how they could do duos rn though

Trios are separated partly because of rook

[hollow comet]

people would realize this if they could read

it's in plain text

[wispy tundra]

Since rook always tries to load you solo into an in-progress trio lobby

[wanton wasp]

I have just found that if it was duo queue we'd actually win our fights

[wispy tundra]

Would be weird to have duos since idk how they'd even want that to interact

[wanton wasp]

Also I don't have a third irl mate who'd play marathon, it's just me and my brother

[empty estuary]

NuCal seems really good to level early on just so you can log in and stack heals even when you dont wanna play

[wispy tundra]

Yea a lot of the quest rewards are nice

[empty estuary]

Shields for purchase too which is huge

[wispy tundra]

Also doing the contracts happens to be a really good way to wander into pvp lol

Since everyone else is trying to do them too

[empty estuary]

Ive noticed

Ive stolen a handful of peoples shields and backpacks from early quest rewards because of it

[wispy tundra]

Flashbacks to trying to do some of the tarkov quests early in wipe

[wispy tundra]

There was one where you had to grab a key from a random forklift in a parking lot with no cover and people would just camp it

[wanton wasp]

So if you want to do solo you do rook? Get fucked if you do duos so trios is somewhat mandatory?

[empty estuary]

i almost feel comfortable running shields and backpacks already

[empty estuary]

theres normal solo queue, rook is for ratting in trios

[wispy tundra]

There's normal solo queues too, rook loads you in with a random loadout halfway through a trios match and his only ability is to disguise as uesc

So just a loot goblin/rat character

[wanton wasp]

I need a duo queue please bungie :(

[wispy tundra]

They might do it

They only even added solo queue like two technical tests ago

[wanton wasp]

I just feel like no duo is really weird and fucks over a majority of players who don't have a third

Cos like fuck squad fill

[wispy tundra]

Worst case it'll probably work like arcs duos where it just prios other duos but treats it like a trio lobby

[gloomy lagoon]

wait, maraflop is out?

[wanton wasp]

I'm pretty sure arc raiders duo is duo only

[sharp scarab]

Neverrr

[wanton wasp]

I could be wrong as I haven't played pve slop raiders in a bit

[sharp scarab]

[hazy jackal]

how does destroyer q even work

[wispy tundra]

Arc raiders duo queue just tries to fill with other duos first but if there isn't enough pop it'll grab trios

[hazy jackal]

i'm still not 100% on that one

[empty estuary]

Free trial, its pretty fun

Its clicking with me more now

[wanton wasp]

Hit someone three times and it launches missiles at them

[hazy jackal]

my only compliant about looting in this game is how there is 10 healing items but you don't realize that until you look them

[gloomy lagoon]

wait, the free weekend or something?

[hazy jackal]

oooh

[wispy tundra]

Week but yeah

[wanton wasp]

It has a block metre at the top which fills with each hit

[gloomy lagoon]

yeah.... think I'll pass

[wispy tundra]

Basically just an open beta before launch like arc did

[hazy jackal]

i wish there was a little colored icon that tells you if an item is a healing consumable or something

[wanton wasp]

Now it could be more than three for full auto weapons I'm not sure

[gloomy lagoon]

since I just dropped 1.6k CAD for a GPU

[hazy jackal]

honestly it would make more sense to wait a few months anyway

shooting range will be added in a few months and playing an extraction game without one is kinda shit

[sharp scarab]

All items have the + symbol gg

[hazy jackal]

then that's a failure of the UI cuz the icons are tiny

[gloomy lagoon]

b-but muh meta curb stomping skill curve!!11!11 /j

part of me wants to be there at the start, like before whatever Fortnite build mode had become

[hazy jackal]

I just want to know how my scope looks like on my gun

[sharp scarab]

Free loadouts

[gloomy lagoon]

what I meant was.... Everyone loads into the game is all noobs

I wanna be there at the fresh start, and watch the decay set in

[empty estuary]

It might be easier to start later cause everyone wont be chasing the same quest objectives

[wispy tundra]

I mean I'd consider at least trying the free beta rn

Everyone is clueless rn so it's kinda fun

[hazy jackal]

like how I keep dying in dire marsh trying to do that stupid quest

[empty estuary]

The traxus quest?

[hazy jackal]

yeah

[gloomy lagoon]

I would LOVE to

[empty estuary]

I love 3 step one run quests!!!!

[hazy jackal]

everyone is trying to do that quest rn

and we're all dying to each other

[gloomy lagoon]

but I also have final exam for a half-term course this week

[empty estuary]

Id probably just hide somewhere and ket the match progress

[wispy tundra]

Oof

[gloomy lagoon]

like the course is only 9 weeks

out of a 20 week semester

[hazy jackal]

at one point there was three teams in the same room

it was ridiculous

also half of them were assassin

i'm pretty whelmed by all of the assassins that I've seen

turns out being invisible doesn't make you any quieter

punched a guy to death

man I fucking suck at pvp

this game is perfect for me

[cold musk]

i hv to side i suck at pv then one i like lock in n get like 20 kills

[wispy tundra]

It's part of why I like a lot of extraction shooters ngl

Even if you're really bad one good decision can put you on top

Marathon hits a good middle ground with ttk too

Isn't like tarkov or hunt where more often than not you get dropped in one good shot to center mass

[hazy jackal]

yeah, the fact that I was able to fight back kinda in a 1v3 was nice

sure I still died but hey, I was able to fight back

[balmy mason]

I know at least 1 person in the official server is complaining that the ttk is too fast

[hazy jackal]

they're used to arc ttk

which is like 10 years compared to tarkov

arc ttk is absurd after awhile

[wispy tundra]

I think slowing it down any more would make fights start to be frustrating because you'd lose a lot of kills on people who got completely caught out just because they have enough time to walk around a corner

[cold musk]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-meme-youtube-meme-gif-1109123238450490160

[hazy jackal]

probably my favorite thing with marathon is that you can just jump out of windows and this is perfectly viable as an escape plan lol

[jade sundial]

every pvp game to ever exist has had ttk complaints

[empty estuary]

Jesus that traxus quest is intense

Killing that commander is rough

[hazy jackal]

the traxus quest also has by far the most amount of people trying to complete it

[empty estuary]

I had the lmg and it did fuck all

[hazy jackal]

dire marsh rn is just pvp central

[wispy tundra]

I'm glad they finished replacing all the gun animations with unique ones

[cold musk]

This might be the honeymoon talking but this might be my favourite RE

[empty estuary]

Im just gonna level nucal for shields and shit

[wispy tundra]

Earlier playtests reused a lot of d2 animations for the guns and it was so jarring

[hazy jackal]

i need to get biomass so I can buy backpacks lol

[hazy jackal]

i mean, a lot of things still reuse d2 animations it only makes sense to reuse what is already functional

like grenade animations are the same

wasting resources when you already have perfectly functional assets is dumb

[sharp scarab]

The anomalies are pretty cool

[wispy tundra]

Yeah but I mean like, the B33 Volley Rifle for example genuinely was just reusing pulse rifle animations and it is so jarring to pick up a gun and it's secretly the messenger from destiny 2

[hazy jackal]

i can see that

[sharp scarab]

They reused halo animations in destiny

If it isn’t broken don’t fix it

[hazy jackal]

it's why they are able to make so many yakuza games after all

they've been reusing the same assets for the past 10 years

[empty estuary]

Yeah i think leveling nucal is the play while everyone kills each other over traxus

[hazy jackal]

yeah I was thinking that I'd just do mida and smash some windows

[cold musk]

Wonder when halo remake will release this year

Or was it next year

[wispy tundra]

I have no problem inherently with asset reuse but the gun animations I feel like cross the line a little since they're so core to bungie shooter identity

[woeful lark]

There seems to be more PvP in solo than trios in marathon?

[wispy tundra]

I mean it's all gone already anyway

[sharp scarab]

Not with me I shoot them all

[wispy tundra]

I was just reminiscing over picking up a gun and getting destiny jumpscared

[upbeat dirge]

I think the fact you distinctly remember what that looks like is more of an issue

[wispy tundra]

I believe solo fills in a lot more individuals so they're going to spread out a lot more since they're not clumping as a team

[lone mountain]

How we liking marathon so far. I like it better than arc raiders that’s for sure that game might as well be pve only for how much they bootlick casuals

[wispy tundra]

Someone reminded me of it earlier bc they compared the marathon pulse rifle to feeling a lot like messenger

[woeful lark]

Yes and it’s beautiful 😿

[sharp scarab]

Vulcan has aura

[wispy tundra]

If you want pvp just try to do contracts tbh

People are clustering around those areas

[sharp scarab]

I just remembered spawn points

So I attack them from there

[lusty bridge]

Hearing the word ONI in a Bungie game

sends me back

5 years ago, when I first played Halo on the MCC

[lone mountain]

Can someone please explain to me how I died here? How is he not low? Is the Claymore trash or my gun?

https://streamable.com/h4z1o3

Or am I trash?

[empty estuary]

Recon is so fucking cheesy

[empty estuary]

You just got fucking mowed down

[hollow comet]

well you're shooting his legs and only like 2 shots hit

also fire rate diff

[empty estuary]

Yeah you wanna hit where it hurts with guns like those

[wispy tundra]

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.

[hollow comet]

[empty estuary]

Ok game crashed and now it doesnt detect my mouse

[hollow comet]

💀

[empty estuary]

first thing i see on reset

[steep frost]

Who are those losers on the left side

[empty estuary]

Oh shit

Ok good cryo wasnt in there

The screenshot can stay

[zinc coyote]

that human guy streaming looks like a real fucking ass

[empty estuary]

Fuck you cryo youre british

[steep frost]

Bro isn’t even awake bruh

[empty estuary]

Idc hes still catching strays

Im struggling with this nucal quest

[wispy tundra]

it's partly the gun too

[empty estuary]

Those invis enemies are kinda bullshit

[wispy tundra]

you're using mida multi tool marathon edition so legshots definitely werent doing much

[empty estuary]

Holy shit i got clapped off rip

Thank god im using free loadouts for this

[lone mountain]

My dmr damage should account for lower fire rate tho no?

Also he got hit by a claymore let’s not forget

[wispy tundra]

thing is that's not a proper 'dmr'

[lone mountain]

Wdym

[wispy tundra]

it uses light ammo and is literally mida multi tool

not exactly the hardest hitting gun ever

[lone mountain]

Explain in non destiny terms

Ok so the gun is buns to the point where I’ll lose a gunfight even if he’s low from a explosive

[wispy tundra]

if you dont hit the head yes

or even chest

[lone mountain]

Also it shoots heavy ammo

I can’t send a fucking photo

[empty estuary]

Ok this nucal quest is apparently impossible too

Jesus christ

[wispy tundra]

precision weapons have terrible limb modifiers and that gun in particular has low in class base damage with the tradeoff of having good performance at most ranges

[empty estuary]

Its a plink weapon that you whipped out in cqc

You set yourself up to lose

[lone mountain]

Plink?

[empty estuary]

Longer range

[lone mountain]

The only reason I didn’t switch to my other gun is because he was low from a Claymore so I thought the higher damage might DMR would’ve been more effective

Any other game that would’ve made sense

[empty estuary]

You also threw yourself right in front of him, he had more info

That was 100% your fault

[lone mountain]

He had 0 info you didn’t know the fucking situation

If he had info, he wouldn’t have ran straight into a Claymore

[empty estuary]

You still jumped down a ladder at a guy who had you pre aimed

With a semi auto weapon

You did that to yourself

[wispy tundra]

since when

is that not the stryder m1t

[lone mountain]

It’s the hardline pr

[wispy tundra]

wtf the icon in the bottom right looked exactly like the stryder

[hollow comet]

always give yourself the best odds, that means not jumping in front of a guy with a long range weapon

[empty estuary]

That was not the hardline pr

[wispy tundra]

even then though any weapon in the precision rifle class is gonna have terrible limb mods

[sharp scarab]

Btw if you have a free loadout you can wear the persons back pack to get more space

[lone mountain]

Omfg i’m gonna literally lose my mind

I can’t send photos to prove what I’m saying and this guy is acting like a Redditor

[sharp scarab]

I just killed a guy with some high teir loot tyvm

[empty estuary]

That was the stryder

[sharp scarab]

[empty estuary]

Not the hardline

[wispy tundra]

yeah that's the fuckass mida ornament

[sharp scarab]

Cat diver

[empty estuary]

You dont even know what gun youre using and wondering why you got shit on

[lone mountain]

Ok wait your right idk when I switched weapons all I did was look at the weapon I have equipped

Still I should not have died

[empty estuary]

You shouldve

100%

[lone mountain]

I just won’t use precision weapons I was suspecting good damage and a slower fire rate

[empty estuary]

You got insanely greedy chasing a kill

[fringe surge]

hows marathon treating yall

[wispy tundra]

you clearly shield popped him on the first shot and then you shot him in the legs which was probably doing like 17 damage a hit

[empty estuary]

Brutal

[wispy tundra]

6 bullets to kill yippee

[fringe surge]

bugs?

[empty estuary]

Everyones chasing the same quests

Its a bloodbath

[fringe surge]

[wispy tundra]

early wipe extraction shooter things

its kinda fun though

[jade sundial]

can already tell u aint talkin bout arc

[lusty bridge]

So I didnt realize we get a vault

[empty estuary]

Bro

[lone mountain]

What is a UESC target acquisition device?

[hollow comet]

when more vault space bonji

[jade sundial]

how many slots

[lusty bridge]

I thought everything was gone when we died

[empty estuary]

Uav terminal at major PoIs

[lone mountain]

Yea a couple

[wispy tundra]

me when i dont shoot back ever in arc and eventually get put into the peaceful mode lobby where i walk out with 5 mil in loot and also trade some shit for a blueprint i needed over prox chat

[sharp scarab]

Smh is goated

[lusty bridge]

Finally a place to store my green gear

[wispy tundra]

depends on faction ranks

some faction rewards increase your vault size

[empty estuary]

Bully smg is highkey an early game monster

[empty estuary]

Kinda small at first but its much more comfy even after the first upgrade

[jade sundial]

is it more than density vault

[hollow comet]

no

[wispy tundra]

much more limited on porpoise

[jade sundial]

lies, d2 has like only 50 slots

[lusty bridge]

Gonna be 4/4 on runs incomplete

[hollow comet]

destiny 2 vault if it was good

[wispy tundra]

900 smoke jumper pieces and 100 slots

[lusty bridge]

I thought I could exfil whenever I wanted

[jade sundial]

only when I say

[lusty bridge]

but I have to find some exfil plate to stand on smh

[hollow comet]

well yeah you just have to get to it and activate it and live

[wispy tundra]

you just have to get to the exit

the exits are also one time use

and open up as the match goes

[hollow comet]

just extract bro smh

[jade sundial]

put the fries

[lusty bridge]

I mean, with a vailt that keeps everything, this whole thing becomes a whole lot less stressful

[hollow comet]

take everything in with you

[jade sundial]

if u dont care

u wont stress

[empty estuary]

after one upgrade

[jade sundial]

[empty estuary]

not really

[lusty bridge]

im keeping my medpacks and ammo in it

[empty estuary]

you accumulate a ton shit through the season

youll be stacked and wont have to worry about losing shit

idk why the video was black for so long

ms clip editor sucks

[summer barn]

I told a squirrel girl main that they play a character that smells like deep fried ass and they said they were gonna report me💀💀💀

[steep frost]

Yeah you gotta get an actual program

The one on win10 was good but on win11 is fucking terrible

[hollow comet]

fuckass clipchamp or whatever the fuck

[steep frost]

Yeah

[fringe surge]

bandicam

goated

[empty estuary]

Please god let me finish this quest

[summer barn]

Hold up why does this new moon knight skin have him looking like he's about to start voguing

[jade sundial]

THE MOON

[summer barn]

Nah it's THE MOON 💅

[empty estuary]

Im almost tempted to take my own loot into this quest but that feels like a bad idea

[lusty bridge]

Yep. 4/4

Titanfall 2 destroyed my ability to care about failing in a game where losing doesnt matter

[empty estuary]

Well thats the mindset you want in an extraction shooter

[lusty bridge]

Yeah but its almost to the extreme

[empty estuary]

Yeah thats the idea

Also its early wipe

[lone mountain]

Bro, how the fuck do I scan the stacked shipping container? It’s just poison everywhere.

[hollow comet]

for the traxus intro quest?

[sharp scarab]

I’m going to steal it

[sharp scarab]

Shoot the poison plants

[lusty bridge]

5/5 lets go

[hollow comet]

the only thing around the traxus shipping container is the UESC guy you grab the thingamajig from and his fellas

[lusty bridge]

Its gonna be amazing if I go 10 runs without completion

[upbeat dirge]

Quite literally just stabbed someone in the back as they were trying to exfil and then I go ahead and exfil in front of them, this game is so fun

[steep frost]

Bro is just bragging about being a bad person

[upbeat dirge]

hell yeah I am

[steep frost]

We are so back

[hollow comet]

average Arachne cultist

[sharp scarab]

I tried to let someone extract and my teammate just killed him

[upbeat dirge]

we are so back

[empty estuary]

I got the quest done

Died but idc

I killed

So many people

[sharp scarab]

I got purple weapons now I’m complete

[summer barn]

guys does this mean im a pro?

[wispy tundra]

ngl i really like how vast majority of quests dont require extraction + there's no stupid safe item pouch

[hollow comet]

i'd like it more if you could do multiple contracts at once

[empty estuary]

4 people on that one building

[sharp scarab]

Safe item pouch is goated

Especially if it’s a material for upgrading

[upbeat dirge]

It would be nice

[upbeat dirge]

The ttk in game is either really fast or green shields suck ass

[empty estuary]

aw my clip was set to 16 seconds

15

[lone mountain]

Just died because I decided to abandon the exfil for my teamate

[empty estuary]

thats the risk you take

[hollow comet]

should have left him

[sharp scarab]

Should have left him

[upbeat dirge]

Marathon really does not like getting recorded/streamed in fullscreen

jeez

[empty estuary]

lots of problems with it rn

it hates recording software

[hollow comet]

https://tenor.com/view/mundo-feliz-onetreehsll-world-if-gif-14071235670792471304

the world if tiger engine could handle a few overlays

[cedar pumice]

*the world if tiger engine was actually good

[hollow comet]

d2 also hates overlays but less i guess

[wispy tundra]

fucked up this gets autosold

[upbeat dirge]

I am green

[zenith blaze]

the work around is to just record your entire screen like i did earlier

[upbeat dirge]

I know

but it's bothersome

[zenith blaze]

what shell are you running normally

[upbeat dirge]

the one I just posted

[cedar pumice]

I like installing BattlEye a second time

[upbeat dirge]

I don't know what it's called

[balmy mason]

My DAC is now Level 5

[wispy tundra]

on win 10/11 you can also just window capture

[upbeat dirge]

my DAC got deleted

[upbeat dirge]

why do you just have this

[wispy tundra]

Window capture -> capture method: Windows 10 (1903 and up) should just work fine for the game iirc

[hollow comet]

for right now

[zenith blaze]

i havent used her yet, interestingly i havent actually heard about any runners feeling too strong or too weak yet as well

[wispy tundra]

game capture also works for audio still for some reason

so can use a second game capture to get the game audio isolated if you want

[upbeat dirge]

call me a movement chud the way I cannot live without double jump

[empty estuary]

NuCal just told me to go eat rocks

[hollow comet]

literally just got it right now specifically for this

[zenith blaze]

ik its too early to tell but usually by now people start complaining

[empty estuary]

Oh theyre here

[zenith blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-venture-ventureow-gif-8093938181533583164

[wispy tundra]

this is an early stage bungie game so it's still like 95% gun focused

give it a year and glitch's rpg will be oneshotting from full shield or something

[hollow comet]

who's glitch i only know Vandal

[hazy jackal]

i dunno, i've only played destroyer so far

[wispy tundra]

oh right

they renamed them

[hazy jackal]

the new names are probably what their internal dev names were tbh

nothing wrong with it imo

[wispy tundra]

i think the new names are just what the old names were before the attempt to switch to distinct charactes

[hazy jackal]

descriptive but easy to remember names are always better than fancy ass names trying to be unique for the sake of it

particularly for these sort of games

[empty estuary]

[hazy jackal]

also I imagine the unique names will just be tied to cosmetic lines for the shells anyway

[wispy tundra]

the other names were fine too but i dont blame them for wanting to get away from the hero shooter association

[hazy jackal]

I give league shit for the names they give their champs at times

[empty estuary]

I hope bungie finds a way to do some cinematic story telling in game, ai overlords giving me the skyrim lead poisoning stare while they tell me they hate me and hope i die will only be cool for so long

[wispy tundra]

i think they already have some planned

none of that is gonna be in the beta anyway but i have to assume there'll be some crazy story shit in cryo archive as you work through the vaults

[hazy jackal]

it will never not be funny to me must how many league champs have names that start with the letters A, K and V and that's not even getting into how many start with S and T

[upbeat dirge]

I don't know, I think it'll still be cool considering they're ai corporate overlords who don't give a fuck

[hazy jackal]

like those 5 letters make up the first letter for a solid 40% of the names in the game

[upbeat dirge]

I need to hang up my marathon already, just had the absolute worst gun fight

ever

[wispy tundra]

win a run or run a real marathon challenge

[hazy jackal]

i'm not running a real marathon

i can hear the feet pain already

[hollow comet]

No safe loot

[blissful pagoda]

oh safe pocket

[steep frost]

Doesn’t arc raiders has safe loot?

[blissful pagoda]

i replied to the wrong message

[balmy mason]

Mtash and Skarrow are on a wipe streak lol

They are actually getting tilted by the PvE enemies

[sharp scarab]

Yes

I think he was talking about marathon

You don’t have safe pockets

[steep frost]

Yeah I got that

[blissful pagoda]

[sharp scarab]

[steep frost]

[empty estuary]

Much more casualized

Pvp is discouraged in arc

I was working on an objective but noticed a guy extracting and ganked him

nothing crazy but a nice way to pad out some essentials

[full saddle]

oh damn

[jade sundial]

the game cant be THAT good

[blissful pagoda]

time to try marathon for the first time

[ebon dew]

Help

Im cursed

[jade sundial]

dont forget water

[blissful pagoda]

[balmy mason]

Mtash got tilted so hard he is taking off lmao

[empty estuary]

nice little supply of backpacks and shields going

need to keep leveling nucal so i can buy blue shields

[balmy mason]

Rememer that you are not keeping any of these after the slam

[empty estuary]

i know

[balmy mason]

The main goal of the slam is just reaching lvl 30

[empty estuary]

but the quests im doing are just hold e on this terminal so theres not much reason to bring loot

[lone mountain]

I’m fucking losing it

I can’t get this damn contract completed and I keep getting trash teammates

And if it’s not me dying to a full squad with no teammates, it’s fucking spores with poison

[balmy mason]

The yellow flowers?

[lone mountain]

Yea

I died with a reflex coil

I wanna get this damn contract completed. I don’t care about anything else.

[empty estuary]

It might help to just give it time and focus on other contracts, everyones piling on it right now

Itll also give you a chance to get more gear to better handle that contract

[balmy mason]

I'm looking to do more Rook run

[empty estuary]

Rooks nice for when you wanna do low stress gameplay

[balmy mason]

Low stress

Would you mind if I take this clip and upload it in the official server?

[upbeat dirge]

nah

[wanton wasp]

Spag what do you think of marathon?

[upbeat dirge]

I think it's a breath of fresh air from Arc Raiders

[stone whale]

Is marathon lowk boring

[wanton wasp]

I was getting sick of arc raiders ngl

I'm not sure if I'm sold yet for marathon tho

Feels good, I like the ttk but like who do I have to play it with

[blissful pagoda]

first run

and dead

[wanton wasp]

Also knowing bungie if I play with yg the ping will be fuckig horrid

[empty estuary]

It has slow moments, it has brutal ones, just the nature of the genre

I like it

[stone whale]

Imo there isn’t enough gun fights between players

[balmy mason]

Have you been running in the Beginner map

[empty estuary]

Do your faction missions and that will change very fast

[stone whale]

Yes

[empty estuary]

Thats why

It has less players

Youre playing the noob map

Select the non beginner variant of the map

Or the other map

[stone whale]

Also in the non beginner

[empty estuary]

Do your faction missions

Everyone is running to the same spots on the map because theyre trying to level their factions for more vault space and higher tier purchases

[stone whale]

Just to get an idea how many gun fights u fight each game

[empty estuary]

It early wipe shit

[empty estuary]

A lot

Im encountering players every single match

All the white backpacks were from other players

Most of the shields too

I even won a 1v4 in a solo lobby

[stone whale]

interesting

I will give the game a second shot at it

[upbeat dirge]

these close calls are getting a lil too close

[balmy mason]

Done

[vagrant summit]

I gotta learn back where stuff spawns, I keep ending up in gunfights without a fucking bullet to my name

[empty estuary]

Ammo feels more scarce than i remember

[zenith blaze]

tbf, bullets are so scarce

i just rely on bringing a ton of ammo when i go in or pray i find an ammo crate

[vagrant summit]

Im sure it nust bd like the beta where it's just some select gun lockers and other nice tidy stuff spots

[lone mountain]

I finally did it

[zenith blaze]

rn i think my only complaint about running is just making ammo a bit less scarce

[lone mountain]

Ammo is so abundant wdym

[zenith blaze]

ive had a few runs where my team and i just have no ammo

[vagrant summit]

I did find a gun locker in maintenance and I was set for ammo p well

But healing items are a little scarce for me too atp

[zenith blaze]

heals as well actually

yeah

[empty estuary]

I dont think heals are necessarily scarce, but i think they could stand to heal a little more

Cause lowest tier heals almost nothing

[vagrant summit]

Ah ill catch some of the staff or uke this w-e andwell hash all this out

[wanton wasp]

Dude those invis uesc bots are so scary

[buoyant moon]

I see why people hate the ui

[vagrant summit]

Oh yeah the switch from low tier heals to these shitty ones I honestly dont see the point

[wanton wasp]

Actually king von bots

[vagrant summit]

Theyre just so so shit lmao

[zenith blaze]

the depleted shield heals a bar of shield, the other one is like slightly smaller, if not, the same amount

[empty estuary]

Yeah you could have multiple stacks of tier 1 heals and theyll all be gone after a single fight, it feels awful

[vagrant summit]

Lil bit

[empty estuary]

Yeah shield recharges are so much more generous assuming you dont get hit and cancel out the recharge

[vagrant summit]

Ye

Hp heals are atrocious tho

Shield ones im fine with

[empty estuary]

I dont think itd be too much to ask for t1 heals to do at least like 1/4th of your health

Maybe even 1/3

Probably 1/4th woukd be fine though

But like the 1/10th or whatever it is wont cut it

[upbeat dirge]

I got a knife skin, cool

[empty estuary]

Shield recharges could maaaaaybe recharge the tiniest bit faster but theyre fine for the most part

[upbeat dirge]

they're fine imo

[wanton wasp]

Btw the invis guy is completely invisible right?

[upbeat dirge]

pretty much

[empty estuary]

No but its pretty damn close

[upbeat dirge]

there's an ever so slight distortion around him

but when the environment is foggy or rainy, he might as well be full invis

[empty estuary]

I think it should maybe a bit more obvious though lol

[empty estuary]

Yeah

[upbeat dirge]

definitely

[empty estuary]

Hes kinda like the defacto solo shell rn

[upbeat dirge]

I keep thinking I'm seeing him when it's raining but it's just the rain hitting my shell giving me the same effects

got me acting like a schizophrenic

[empty estuary]

That energy pistol is also highkey kinda insane

It feels hella ammo efficient

[zenith blaze]

it chunks

[empty estuary]

I think its gonna be a sleeper pick for a bit till people realize energy weapons are kinda cracked

Like its kinda slow-firing but the damage really makes up for it

[balmy mason]

Rn I'm just tap firing even with AR

[empty estuary]

Yeah any full auto weapon is really good rn

I think weapons will really start to separate themselves once more people get blue shields

[steep frost]

Do I trust this lil guy?

He shot me

This is why I don’t trust people with the big iron

Blue shields easy to take down

[mental brook]

Some people are just super talented

[steep frost]

It’s honestly insane

I do kinda want to get into painting minis but my wallet does not want me to

[balmy mason]

I'll yoink this clip too if you don't mind

[upbeat dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-fly-gif-21566290

go for it

[mental brook]

I've only ever bought 2 packs

Maybe I'd consider a Dreadnought but a 3D printer is apparently more profitable ig

[steep frost]

My buddy has a ton of age of sigmar that he paints

Yeah a 3d printer is cheaper long term

I don’t really have any interests in the actual tabletop game I just like the figures

[mental brook]

Same

A deathwatch team would be nice

Or even painting Trench Crusade if I had a 3d printer

[steep frost]

A deathwatch team would be really cool

[mental brook]

Simply of my favourite chapters

[wanton wasp]

I have like a third of a tau army that's been sitting in its box for years

[blissful pagoda]

ok so

i don't like marathon

[wanton wasp]

How so?

[blissful pagoda]

i dont really go for pvp in general

[steep frost]

I love the pauldron with all the wording on it

[blissful pagoda]

unless its something exceptional like overwatch was or deadlock is rn

[steep frost]

It’s a really good touch

[blissful pagoda]

and it's a lot more uhh
personal?

[mental brook]

Many such cases

[blissful pagoda]

because its an extraction shooter so you always feel strapped for resources

[mental brook]

All of my characters in space marine are all deathwatch

[steep frost]

Hell yeah

[pseudo sparrow]

I have a friend who paints minis and prints accessories for them

[mental brook]

Except Techmarine because he just didnt get the pauldron

[pseudo sparrow]

He also buys the bigger figures from joytoy

[mental brook]

I've been doing this

Been tempted to make customs

[steep frost]

I just thought the first space marine after beating the second one

[mental brook]

Hell yeah

[steep frost]

I already like fighting orks more than the tyranid

[pseudo sparrow]

There are orcs in SM2 now?

[steep frost]

No

[mental brook]

Nah in the first game

[pseudo sparrow]

Ah

[balmy mason]

Try the Rook

[mental brook]

It was Orks and Chaos undivided

[pseudo sparrow]

I see

Not gonna act like I know what that is

I've got near zero warhammer knowledge

[mental brook]

Basically chaos that isnt assigned to a god

[steep frost]

They’re people who worship all the chaos gods

[mental brook]

SM2 they had a god they were under

Possible high chance in SM3 we may get Necrons next

[steep frost]

God I hope so

[mental brook]

How tf they're gonna implement that I got no clue

Necrons are OP

[steep frost]

Yeah idk

But necrons are so cool that I don’t care

[mental brook]

True

And for chaos idk

[pseudo sparrow]

So the chaos marines and such?

I remember fighting those the slight time I played sm2

[steep frost]

Yeah the thousands sons

[mental brook]

Yeah those ones worship Tzeentch

In a way cause they're all made of sand

https://tenor.com/view/thousand-sons-warhammer-40k-warhammer-thousand-sons-warhammer-40-thousand-sons-warhammer-40k-thousand-sons-gif-3911330265893084421

[mental brook]

You are also one

Especially Sandy

[pseudo sparrow]

Speaking of nerds, new mech LMAO

[mental brook]

I got that one

[pseudo sparrow]

Yeah I bought a used one since it's a couple years old

Was a good opportunity

Shit was in superb quality

[mental brook]

I'd love to get the DND set

[wanton wasp]

I should try and paint my green tau arm ngl but I don't have anything to protect it from the dust

[mental brook]

Should get a case

[junior flume]

Is that a Gundam I see? 👀

[upbeat dirge]

just to answer your question by the way

[junior flume]

That is awful.

And technically shouldn’t happen if I’m not mistaken.

[upbeat dirge]

You genuinely cannot see the motherfucker

[junior flume]

He shouldn’t be able to go invisible unless he’s in smoke.

[balmy mason]

...His tactical ability?

[blissful pagoda]

maybe
also you should just activate notifications when you reply to me

[upbeat dirge]

Nah his invis is just a regular ass ability

that's the worst part

[blissful pagoda]

his smoke is the 'ultimate' lmao

[junior flume]

I know there’s an ultimate for his smoke, but read the abilities. Anytime he touches it, he goes invisible. LmAo

[blissful pagoda]

a good run

[upbeat dirge]

yeah one of his traits is that the moment he hits a smoke, he gets invis

[blissful pagoda]

apart from me nading myself and my randos had to run back to pick me up

[upbeat dirge]

and then his tac ability is the active camo that doesn't need a smoke

[junior flume]

Hmmm. There’s gonna be some balancing done. Haha!

[upbeat dirge]

I should hope so

[blissful pagoda]

playing this has solidified my interest in arc raiders

[junior flume]

I gotta say, though: I wasn’t impressed yesterday playing marathon. I fully admit I’m bad. Gonna try again today and see how it goes.

[blissful pagoda]

i really like the idea of 'its the apocalypse. lets help each other to survive.'

instead of the 'its the apocalypse. kill whoever you want >:)'

[junior flume]

The visuals are gorgeous, imo. The gameplay… not so much. If I’m going into a room to loot stuff, I shouldn’t have to feel around the entire room like a blind man. A cabinet for example should be easily lootable.

[upbeat dirge]

personally I haven't had any issues with the looting, for me it's the movement, I guess I might just be too used to faster paced games but the overheating is just crippling

[junior flume]

In Arc raiders, if it looks like it can be looted, it probably can be.

Yeah, the overheating is rotten.

[blissful pagoda]

contracts paused for Rook?? @balmy mason

god damn

[junior flume]

Who would’ve thought that silkworm silk could generate so much heat?

[blissful pagoda]

im not playing Rook then.

[junior flume]

What’s the point of rook if you can’t do contracts? Just to grab random loot?

[upbeat dirge]

well yeah

[junior flume]

I feel like the sponsored packages solve that issue, though.

[balmy mason]

It isn't the apocalypse. You are a mercenary. Anyone isn't in your immediate group is a potential threat.

[junior flume]

Yeah, the load out is shite, but you really don’t feel the loss of anything if you die. IMO.

[balmy mason]

And yeah

[junior flume]

Also, why does it say I have notifications if I don’t? 😡

[upbeat dirge]

in what

[junior flume]

Says I have skins unlocked, but I can’t find them for the life of me.

In customization.

Says I have two items that need attention, but there’s nothing anywhere in that tab.

[upbeat dirge]

and you're sure it's not weapon stickers?

[junior flume]

Hmmm. I can check again, but I didn’t see any notifications there.

Remind me where those are in the menu again.

[upbeat dirge]

Go to weapons and then click on any weapon, then there should be customization options like stickers and charms etc

[junior flume]

Ah! That was it. Thank you! Shit was driving me nuts. They definitely need to rework that somehow.

[blissful pagoda]

ah

[balmy mason]

You skipped the cutscenes didn't you

[blissful pagoda]

yes

Absolutely freaking worthless teammates! Bah! Screw this game!

No

Dont feed them. Let it die

Gaming 2026

Then I want GTV VI to flop

[lavish forge]

This is very much just a skill issue

[fossil patrol]

If people like it then that's good

It's good when people like games

If they don't like it, oh well, off to a game you like, you deserve to spend your free time on what you like

We are not children, this thinking isn't difficult

[lavish forge]

If you are shooting 30 rounds at someone I'm willing to bet that you're missing 2/3 of your shots

[balmy mason]

Gonna try a quick Rook run

I hate how games nowadays don't let you skip the publisher logo intro anymore

I shot another Rook and the bots came in clean up both of us lmao

[vagrant summit]

that doesn't sound likely, that happens to me and I'm the goat

[lavish forge]

you are not goated

that's just your jealous side speaking

[balmy mason]

Not bad for a quick grab before I head out

Fry is right, the energy weapon is kinda goated

i broke someone's shield

they went around a corner

i prefired and i still somehow died from a barrage of tracking projectiles

very excellent

if that happens to me I'm leaving for the day

[blissful pagoda]

yes i think

i got a lot of xp from arc damage

but it was a rocketeer that did me in 😭

[junior flume]

Rocketeers are brutal. Even when you hit the weak points, they shrug it off.

[blissful pagoda]

came across a random person

who let me open up a field crate

and then hid elsewhere and shot at me

great

[vagrant summit]

Lmao

Grinding

[junior flume]

That… that’s new for me.

[blissful pagoda]

i didnt even get good shit from the field crate

but its the fact that he saw me, didnt shoot me

let me loot

and then hid in a corner and shot me like a fucking rat

what is this

[loud compass]

i wish i didnt feel bad every time i killed someone in marathon 😭

[balmy mason]

Free labour

[balmy mason]

I blasted another Rook in my Rook run earlier. Then the bots came in and cleaned up both of us

Damn it haunts me even here

[loud compass]

my only complaint about marathon rn is the bots and players are hard to tell apart sometimes

[loud compass]

i just went into a squads game and we got rolled by bots while facing players

[boreal ether]

Is this a bad thing?

[loud compass]

im not sure

[boreal ether]

Wow thanks so much

[balmy mason]

How come

The bot have very distinct silhouette

When will Marathon add a 3 lane 6v6 gamemode that has players fighting for progressively more difficult objectives over the course of a long match?

Please look into this bungie!!

[balmy mason]

Damn

[round fable]

this is new right?

[balmy mason]

No idea, I wasn't part of any alpha

[round fable]

i don't recall seeing that

[sullen ember]

marathons pretty alright

i don't think it has the staying power to contend with arc for players

but it'll probably develop a niche

[balmy mason]

There's a Short in their channel showcasing this item

[boreal ether]

Idk how that worked but alright

[balmy mason]

Rook down

[boreal ether]

I swear the first guy I genuinely thought was one of the pve enemies at first

Until I saw in the killfeed that it was a guy

[tender helm]

@boreal ether you doing runs rn?

[boreal ether]

I just did my first successful run and my 2nd in total lmfao
