Marathon

[lament pecan]

but also M77 doesnt struggle with having heavy ammo like the impact would and also doesnt do so poorly against bots that its unusable

[neat nest]

Hmm what does have the best dpm (I'm literally just multiplying Firepower by RoF)

Ok so it's the wstr so far

But not really

Seems to be wstr then Zeus then Brrt then Impact

[lament pecan]

warframe moment where you genuinely need to consider mag size and reload speed for DPM

[neat nest]

Makes me thing this is maybe not the best stat to look at

I think it's almost impossible to actually fire the BRRT at 1000 rpm

[twin rain]

yeah I think that assumes the burst RPM not sustained salvo average

[neat nest]

So in practical terms it's gotta be the Zeus

[sand sluice]

Impact har is a weird precision automatic rifle

It's benefit is mainly being able to shoot up to 60m base over the 46m base of the m77

But like the same thing with the bully

Range is largely a position thing that you can just, W key forward

[neat nest]

Lowkey I think it's in a weird spot from being a god gun in the MCTT and then getting nerfed

[sand sluice]

If thats the case then yeah

Misriah only started getting more use recently without the slick mag due to wstr getting hard nerfed

[neat nest]

It was largely the same back then but it dropped a lot more and the ergonomic stats were... pretty much the same as the M77s by my memory?

I remember it being one of the dedicated endgame guns

That was admittedly the True Thermal Meta though

Since range limits hadn't been invented

So every fight was like "dedicated thermal spotter making callouts and then 2 people who pull triggers"

[sand sluice]

Meanwhile me right now, "I gotta get my vault full of purple bullys and keys somehow because getting DNA access cards are a pain"

[cinder hare]

i think the impact HAR just needs a slight ADS speed buff

it doesnt need it it just doesnt feel good to ADS without a bunch of mods

Somewhere in the heavens… Signal Jammer Man is out there… waiting…

[tidal terrace]

@cinder hare i have been working on creating the reserve

despite being just a little baby season level 23 goblin i have the capacity for items that fucking kill anyone

[neat nest]

That’s a good reserve

[tidal terrace]

i have so many mips too

honestly part of what i do to stock up on ammo and salvage is i run rook on outpost and then dont go to pinwheel

[cinder hare]

That's solid asf

[tidal terrace]

because everyone is in pinwheel

i can just loot everything they left on the ground and then leave

it usually gets me like twenty to thirty salvage pieces and a few thousand dollars

[sand sluice]

Ye

[tidal terrace]

in case youre wondering about my ammo reserve

theres a few mips i have backed up for using

[cinder hare]

I have like 0 ammo lol

[tidal terrace]

i like having ammo in backup so i can pull whatever i want out the inventory

[cinder hare]

Oh yeah funny but stupid fact

The repeater has a DPS so low, even with only headshots im pretty sure the overrun with only bodyshots is better

[tidal terrace]

i mostly have it for money

[cinder hare]

Understandable

I want them to give the repeater like, 3x headshot mult or something crazy

[tidal terrace]

sometimes you have two backup wstrs and brrts and longshots and youre still impoverished

[neat nest]

It’s already very high at 2.1

It’s really weird because it has a low fire rate but also cracks blue shields in 1 shot

[cinder hare]

Yeah i just think itd be funny if they buffed it like that

Realistically it just needs faster RoF and reload speed probably

[neat nest]

Good on teamfights since your buddies can finish people off and it gives sniper level scares without scope glint

[tidal terrace]

i gotta get so many unstable diodes and gunmetal

[cinder hare]

Yeah it's just weird

[tidal terrace]

theyre putting me in the perimeter relay baby jail and darsh jail

[cinder hare]

Its got good stats in general but it's also just kinda ass at the same time lol

[neat nest]

I think the repeater is a pretty good teamfight gun but it’s bad for dueling

It’s like a budget Ares

[cinder hare]

Then again part of it is snipers being really strong in this game

[tidal terrace]

speakijng of snipers

where is a good place to get the defeat a runner from 20m above achievement

[cinder hare]

Outpost has a lot of vert

[sand sluice]

destroyed wing on outpost looking down at red key

[neat nest]

The various rooftops on darsh work iirc

[tidal terrace]

its the last one i need for vandal mastery

[chilly pebble]

There's also a really high place you can get to on.. north relay? on perimeter, where the locked room is

[neat nest]

I think it’s south relay but yeah

[tidal terrace]

And station

[tawdry sequoia]

South is the one with the keyroom up high yeah

North has a pretty tall rooftop too though

[chilly pebble]

no I did mean north relay

There's a (prestige?) locked room on this big antenna

with a jumping puzzle to get up to it

[neat nest]

Oh huh

There’s also something like that on South relay

[tawdry sequoia]

Yeah it's mirror with the broke end in South has one

Fun spot

[mossy bridge]

i am B'roke

time to do some rook-ing

[cinder hare]

Rooking: When the rooks get a little too strong together

[chilly pebble]

I do find it funny that someone on another discord went "Maybe we'll see p'fhor enemies replace uesc enemies later on!" as if the current endgame boss of the game isn't the tiniest baby man p'fhor possible

[mossy bridge]

wow i forgot how much i suck when it's a 1v3

[tidal terrace]

weakest sphit'ca versus strongest destroyer

[mossy bridge]

i think i can fix that statement actually

wow i forgot how much i suck

[oak glacier]

Okay, sure

[neat nest]

It would be funny if the Pfhor stayed normal enemies but the Spht were beastmode

[mossy bridge]

we could absolutely take most phfor

i wouldnt say an assault trooper is less dangerous than like

a warrior

like sure juggernauts? cyborgs? nah

[tidal terrace]

not helped by the rook kit being like

heres six dollars and bus fare

go, my child

kill them all

[chilly pebble]

More like 4 dollars after the wster nerf :v

[tidal terrace]

it was 10 dollars back thne

now its six dollars

tbh if youre jus taiming for money on rook dont take fights

[mossy bridge]

half a penny (as in an american one sliced in half) and a pack of gum that was left in the cup holder of a car baking in the sun for a year

[tidal terrace]

most fights are gonna drop more stuff than you really can carry and also will drag out in comparison to just picking stuff up and leaving while everyone is elsewhere

[sand sluice]

My main thing rn for Rook runs are purple weapon mods for bully

[mossy bridge]

wow i expected like

better loot or at least some more discreetness from outpost supply drops but uh

nope! just the same as anywhere else except the same colour as like, loot boxes in locked rooms

no lonmger completely rinsed and got a br33 bully and brrt from the drop

[sand sluice]

Nop

Supply drops are supply drops

[mossy bridge]

i guess

[sand sluice]

Outpost having armories + pinwheel + convoy are best loot sources

Arguably if you lobby wipe with a dcon mission

You can inf farm bot drops

[mossy bridge]

i mean im just rooking it

[cinder hare]

the evil and intimidating shroud rook:

[sand sluice]

Cause if you put the wrong thing in the dcon it spawns in uesc bots

[mossy bridge]

lol what

I think it just spawns them regardless I've put the right stuff in for a quest and it sends them anywho

[sand sluice]

Yeah but to activate dcon you need the quest

Otherwise you cant interact with it IIRC

[mossy bridge]

im not sure

i'd have to see

[placid oxide]

[mossy bridge]

[tidal terrace]

got the classic darsh death 😔 happens to the best of us

lost some of my good cores though which im more annoyed about

[mossy bridge]

they need to take all the nerfs from the WSTR and knife and give them all to grenades ten fold

Every player encounter being "who is able to throw the most grenades well" is not fun

[sand sluice]

I mean there's some skill to grenade throws, the issue with it rn isn't the grenade throwing it's more the spam aspect because you can basically do constant AOE damage of differing types until you get a pick and then unga

[ivory laurel]

Make all grenades 3 slots instead of two, you cowards

[neat nest]

Add ogryn bomb Bungie

[sharp plover]

add the hellbomb

[tidal terrace]

popped a recon who was looting a bag by crawling through a vent into their room lmao

honestly felt bad for them they didn't even hear me crawl in and the whole thing took only a couple shots

[mossy bridge]

if they added the box of grenades from darktide i would not even be mad

[placid oxide]

It does feel like a comedy bit almost when most engagements in enclosed spaces start with an entire fireworks stand being thrown at one another through some doorways.

[patent thicket]

I mean, even in real life a lot of clearing a room is opening a door or window and chucking a grenade in before proceeding.

[placid oxide]

Sure, but it feels like a more Looney Tunes version when it is 15 continuous seconds of explosions, chemicals, fire, and seeker shards all flying in.

[patent thicket]

Then the dust settles and you didn't actually kill anyone.

No one died, but everyone is deaf.

[cinder hare]

Pullout animation!

[patent thicket]

It's a very Halo-esque grenade throw, with the grenades being a lot more powerful than the ones in Halo.

[neat nest]

[tall lily]

is there a way to upgrade weapon color

[twin rain]

[neat nest]

It's just based on mods yeah

[tall lily]

oh ok so if I pick up a M77 it gets better with good mods

[neat nest]

Yeah

No weapon upgrades themselves they just get better with mods

[twin rain]

yeah, makes grey guns a decent pickup if you've got a lot of mods in vault

[neat nest]

I have not learned Outland bullet drop yet

[tall lily]

Very flat and then it falls after 70 or so meters I think?

[twin rain]

I don't think it does

[tall lily]

I can't really tell

[neat nest]

The trail looks like it doews

But maybe it's misleading

[lament pecan]

when traxus has a barter that's 1 reflex coil for one purple precision barrel and you actually realize its just a little bit tempting

[neat nest]

I got a purple salvage for Cluster Payload one

https://tenor.com/view/test-gif-27464430

just kidding i bought 2

[lament pecan]

...arachne has a purple hurting hands with triage cloak,

[lament pecan]

oh dear i see that one too...

im not nearly as flush with the salvage for it but it seems to be a lot easier to get my hands on if i look for it

[mossy bridge]

think I realised the in universe reason why rook isn’t allowed on the marathon

Compilers and robots famously do not mix

Unless your name is Durandal

[chilly pebble]

I mean he's a hacked UESC bot, which are already on the marathon

[mossy bridge]

true but pair that with an uploaded consciousness controlling them

[oak glacier]

We're only allowed on the marathon because durandal highjacks our transfer to tau ceti is how I interpreted it

And he has no interest in allowing rooks to hack in

[patent thicket]

That seems like a reasonable assumption to me. We’re there by Durandal’s whim and he doesn’t want his ship full of raccoons.

@twin rain

Fixed an issue that could cause Runners to get stuck behind barriers in the Drone Wing while completing the Mida Truth/Lies 2/6 contract.

😩

we got stuck in there with two complete priority contracts that just needed exfil, loot from a teamfight, 5+ minutes on the clock, and free run of pinwheel

[twin rain]

Nice! (That the bug is fixed)

[tidal terrace]

Me and a couple others put a whole crew inside baby jail using this bug lowkey. Because they thought that they could use our conveyance.

New icon for reinforced shields

[neat nest]

Lmao

Happy for the wstr buff (fucked up to say) they hit that gun way too hard

[placid oxide]

Yeah it went from being a menace to being a confetti gun

Hopefully this brings a bit of balance now

[tawdry sequoia]

yeah I've been on the other end of it once with someone from a trio we were fighting getting stuck in there

[ivory laurel]

I feel hitting it to hard and un-nerfing it is the better way than doing a little at a time, as people might feel that Bungo ain't dealing with the issues appropriately

[chrome meadow]

I have just bought marathon.,.....

[patent thicket]

They’ve been generally really on the ball.

[chrome meadow]

are servers down rn?

[twin rain]

Yep! Weekly maintenance/update

[chrome meadow]

that'd do it

[twin rain]

Should be back up in the next 10-15 tho

[chrome meadow]

I just got a new ethernet cable to play actually lol

couldnt even get through the tutorial before my wifi broked

[tidal terrace]

They kept trying to back up conveyance after we disabled that and we deadass wiped two teams and a rook that way it was really really funny

Did I feel bad about it? A little. But they started swearing at us after the second conveyance attempt so it mostly became funny

[obsidian latch]

Bungee please make Signal Jammer Guy a real NPC you can run into that jump scares you that would be really funny I think

[patent thicket]

He just comes out like

https://tenor.com/view/pumpkin-head-cemetery-funny-dance-gif-14375451

[chrome meadow]

damn

damn

uesc- uesc got hands

[obsidian latch]

1/1000000 chance he runs up and stabs you before running away really fast. If you shoot him enough he doesn’t die but drops a special weapon

[neat nest]

Yeah they are much more dangerous than some similar games’ pve

[mossy bridge]

That's funny. That's so funny. That's so funny that you fixed this after it happened to us.

[patent thicket]

Drops mini-jammer chips and Signal Jammers.

Yeah.

[mossy bridge]

atlas#0790

[cinder hare]

170 damage, which is... blue shield 2 tap i think?

[neat nest]

Just under it

Blue shield is 180

[cinder hare]

Given he has a favorite room and everything, he feels like a picky little cat whose like, "meow meow meow ewwwww rook [anti-rook words] meow meow meow" while the other runners are like, "did you hear that cat use the z word?"

[neat nest]

It just makes it less likely for partial misses to make it fail to kill grey and green shields

Also goes out further I think?

Also means 2 good shots+any one bullet kills blues

[cinder hare]

I guess the meta is now nade -> WSTR

[mossy bridge]

doesnt he embody a cat

the pink kity that appears sometimes

[patent thicket]

Durandal has always been cat-coded.

[cinder hare]

Its just a theory but I believe in it

[mossy bridge]

i mean

cat that opens doors and hangs around major events

[neat nest]

The cat is another being I think, but Durandal seems to favor it?

[cinder hare]

Possibly geah

[placid oxide]

Could see him using the cat as a way to keep eyes on the surface?

Sparsh lives

[tidal terrace]

SPARSH LIVES

I hope they give darsh 5 team

[neat nest]

Same it’s great for the pacing

My last regular darsh run was like back to back to back fights

[tidal terrace]

It's just as stressful but less random

Regular darsh has six locations (intersection isn't real) and six teams

[neat nest]

It was fun - we racked up like 9 runner kills - but we wound up getting a tense 2k and then fucking off to exfil because we spent so much time fighting

[tidal terrace]

It's really unsurprising that you inevitably meet

Sparsh gives you the opportunity to encounter or to get a lucky rotate

Outpost has a sort of similar issue

Cause early on there's only like three places and until pinwheel opens there's gonna be at least two teams fighting for control of one place

[cinder hare]

im

why are there fully kitted gold teams in bronze ranked 😭

[tall lily]

I actually really like marathon's visual design because I can actually see enemies

hunt and tarkov I do not have the monitor or possibly the eyes to see background-colored people against the background but marathon its not bad

[neat nest]

Word, despite how intensely colorful it is it’s pretty visually clear

[mossy bridge]

smurfs

[neat nest]

It’s later in the season I can see people going ranked with very strong gear boxes

[cinder hare]

im so not sorry for being the cruelest rook alive

like im sorry but ive been betrayed so many times

also you had a whole stack of meds

and the purple bag... im sorry but i need bags

Also you threatened me when I met you and forced me to kill someone for you to live

[sand sluice]

As much as there's cheaters, there's not really smurfs because no reason to smurf.

Ranked literally only has 2 queues and anybody who isn't cheating would never go into high stakes queue because it's pointless

[cinder hare]

Honestly SBMM or something would help

[sand sluice]

Yeah prob

Then people who die for w/e reason doing co-evolution 4/5 will get easier and easier lobbies until they can eventually do it

Same thing for cryo and every other map people struggle on

[placid oxide]

There’s some really basic dividers that folks have theorized exist, I think mostly tied to seasonal level

[sand sluice]

I would say so

[neat nest]

That’s all Bungie has confirmed yeah

[sand sluice]

Yeah this is pretty much how you should play, it's tarkov 101 and it's similar in marathon. Marathon is just less req for payoff.

It's why I always say to just W key places because you generally get more success w keying objs than trying to sneak when everything makes noise

[placid oxide]

Key templates are the one thing that really encourages stealth as a full playstyle

And even that is basically “sit in the most obscure corner possible until you can exfil”

[sand sluice]

It's also why assassins annoy me cause the smoke and cloak are such gimmicky things with rps answers instead of you being able to 50/50 them with knife like you used to, but it's w/e, marathon is a solo 2nd game tbf

[sand sluice]

Yeah, doesn't help keys are weirdly loud in marathon

But it makes sense when you think of the trios design

[neat nest]

I still gotta try the signal jammer trick even though I don’t think it works

[placid oxide]

?

Pop a jammer before using a key?

[neat nest]

Supposedly you don’t trigger the key room farm alarm if you have a jammer active when activating it

[placid oxide]

I’ll try anything for science

[cinder hare]

ngl im curious how marathon would feel if they had a BR mode

[sand sluice]

Like slower apex + no reason to have solos

I would not want it

[cinder hare]

id play apex if apex was marathon instead, if you understand me

[sand sluice]

Eh

[placid oxide]

Sponsered is the closest you’ll get

[cinder hare]

i tried apex and it just doesnt "feel right"

[sand sluice]

I would enjoy it more but I probably wouldn't play it

[cinder hare]

something changed after i quit and it just doesnt feel right

[sand sluice]

I mean

[cinder hare]

also bungie guns feel infinitely better

[placid oxide]

I’m an old and cannot hang with the sweats anymore

[sand sluice]

Apex accepted techs with high execution requirement (to the point of which the execution of said tech is 100% easier with hall effect keyboards)

[cinder hare]

mantlesliding being built in tech is 100% a good change

[sand sluice]

They then proceeded to, for w/e reason, nerf every low execution requirement tech, and introduce hitstop

[cinder hare]

i think its just b-hopping doesnt feel "right"

[sand sluice]

So no basic bhopping

[cinder hare]

oh god hitstop? no fucking wonder movement felt so jank

with deadlock at least i can just buy juggernaut and ignore 50% of your slows, or get unstoppable, etc

[sand sluice]

I feel like it was maybe done to better support movement ability chars

[cinder hare]

apex sounds like it needs a total floor-up rework lmao

then again, same with overwatch in some sense, and so many other live service games

[sand sluice]

Ehh

[cinder hare]

then again, a bit of it is Carmen being Picky As Fuck about her games

[sand sluice]

To me the issue with OW1 was doing OW2 and then doing w/e it is now

But I'm looking at it casually

[cinder hare]

I do want a Satisfactory-movement, bungie guns, deadlock tech kinda game

[sand sluice]

Titanfall 2 with bungie guns

[cinder hare]

yeah, not exactly titanfall, but really good movement either way

[sand sluice]

Granted titanfall 2 has titans so pilotsvpilots

[neat nest]

I don’t think Bungie guns would actually feel that good in Titanfall

[cinder hare]

i think titanfall is just too fast somehow

[neat nest]

I am a Titanfall 1 grog though

[sand sluice]

Then you'd have to be more specific what you mean by deadlock tech

[cinder hare]

like i guess somewhere between satisfactory and marathon right now?

[cinder hare]

cornerboosting, mantlesliding, some walljumping

the technical side of it

[sand sluice]

That kind of exists already

You just most of the time don't have a reason to do that sorta stuff because you can hit max speed off a grapple or by grenade boosting

[cinder hare]

oh yeah

im not really talking about titanfall rn

[sand sluice]

If that's the issue then maybe more like, og quake

[cinder hare]

mmm

[sand sluice]

Granted Idk how you could make corner boosting super workable in an fps

I guess it would be first person blind timing

Idk maybe Brink-ish movement

Regardless tho I'm decently satisfied with Marathon atm

I am curious about future experimental queues and am still excited for night marsh

[mossy bridge]

i would deeply enjoy if we somehow got the insane armored core quickboosts the assault troopers and commanders have

[sand sluice]

It's what destroyer has just slower

[slate field]

I was just about to say, lol

[placid oxide]

I’m excited for Season 2 while also hoping that things like rep grind and material requirements are reduced enough to make it possible on a reasonable amount of playtime

[neat nest]

I think they should scrap materialist and reduce salvage requirements

[mossy bridge]

it's more the around corner stuff

that's whati want

[cinder hare]

i can get behind that

[lament pecan]

wanted to play some free kit solos in DM and get contracts done
traxus free kit day

[cinder hare]

also make events more common, give an extra like, 45 seconds to the intercept mission

As we get deeper into Season 1, we've been monitoring your feedback around the current combat sandbox closely. We wanted to talk a little about a few of the topics we're seeing frequently from the community, and some updates we're planning.

Bluesky · Apr 28, 2026, 10:08 PM

Looking at grenades, gold ares railgun, and discussing the wstr changes

[twin rain]

it would be pretty crippling if grenades didn't stack at all

[placid oxide]

Damage numbers feel like an alternative place to look

[neat nest]

This is basically canon given half the stuff ONI says

[placid oxide]

ONI’s positive affirmations getting much spicer than expected

[neat nest]

I’d have to try it to see how it feels

[twin rain]

thinking on it more it'd probably be more punishing mid-run as you would be enticed to drop em in favor of something else, but it would still be possible to bring a bagful at the start to trade em for the first opponent's bag.

[neat nest]

Yeah I’m inclined to agree

I think for a quick and dirty fix there should just be a 7 second cd between pushing G

[placid oxide]

What about an arbitrary limit on equipment that can be brought in?

I’m not in favor of it necessarily

[neat nest]

Doesn’t help so much on Cryo especially since you just get piles of hand grenades

[placid oxide]

Stacking changes won’t impact Cryo much either though when you can refill from every folio and resupply cubby

[neat nest]

True

I think the best places to attack are a cooldown or increasing the fuze timers

[cinder hare]

Pullout animation

[cosmic flame]

evil voice grenades are compromised material

[neat nest]

They should add plasma grenades

weirdly i think i often feel more annoyed by runs where i have good loot i want to take out then runs where i have good loot i bring in. the rat is strong in me

[cinder hare]

Same

[tidal terrace]

We gotta run it back tomorrow and get the purples we were robbed of

I had a good rook with nice blue that I lost from incompetence and messing up extil

but I've got a purple longshot ready to go

[cinder hare]

Yeah we need to

[slow rock]

I maintain that adding fuse timers is the way to fix the spam. bungie please hire me.

[echo scroll]

I had a run last night where someone nearly jumped me in command wing but I just started screaming over voip and he was like “hey we can clear the room together” so we cleared it and when he went to loot a box I hit him in the head with my Outland, poor guy is never gonna trust anyone ever again

[sand sluice]

Should have kept his guard up

[echo scroll]

Like he found the body of the last guy I killed and was like “oh the bots must’ve got him”

[tawdry sequoia]

we let a rook go last night but I've never teamed up with one

[neat nest]

Teaming up with rooks is very hard

It’s hard for them to tell who to shoot and the added time to do IFF can make you die

[tawdry sequoia]

I'd also just not trust them not to get ideas tbh

the ambiguity is a problem

and anyone going 'I'm just a smol bean, a little baby boy, and it's my birthday, don't shoot me' is inherently suspicious to me

[sand sluice]

There's no real benefit for a team to trust a rook or to let them live

Carri event doesn't apply to trios for outside their own trio

[placid oxide]

9/10 times I will just put them down, it isn’t worth the risk of them deciding to be cheeky and putting a claymore down when you are turned around.

[wraith vector]

I usually give them like a moment of 'hey I know you exist and don't HAVE to kill you with my friends' but they always usually use it to shoot me so welp

Very rarely they are polite and receive a Mech OS or somesuch

[neat nest]

I’m cool with exfilling with rooks but I don’t want to team up or anything

[tawdry sequoia]

yeah

[wraith vector]

It feels like encountering a raccoon while taking the trash out

We're not going to be friends but we don't have to be enemies

[tawdry sequoia]

there were a few times where final exfil just has some rooks stalking near the edge of the exfil like wild animals

if you're cold, they're cold, let them in 😔

[patent thicket]

“You can exfil with us but we’re gonna break your knees first.”

[placid oxide]

I have done that before, put them DBNO to make sure I don’t catch a wstr to the head when they are in with us.

[patent thicket]

You did that while I was on your crew once.

[placid oxide]

Had too many Rooks try to jump in and get a cheeky kill while they back out and get a bag off a team.

[cinder hare]

New map got leaked by @tidal terrace :3

Also fun fact, the Volley, HAR, and Bully share parts from each other, like the HAR and Volley share stocks, and the HAR and Bully share trigger / chambers

So the HIGH ROF on the Overrun is almost 100% because there's a LOW ROF version out there, god bungie cooked with these designs

[mossy bridge]

can we get that low ROF overrun please and thank you bunglo

[cinder hare]

No.

[neat nest]

It’s the M77 I think

i was duo queueing w a friend who does not care if i take the good stuff

[patent thicket]

Do you need those to get into CA?

[lament pecan]

no, they're just like key room keys for CA

[twin rain]

they're for the Vaults, super key rooms (they need more than just the keys)

[patent thicket]

I see.

[neat nest]

<@&1474420814979010821> anyone up for some runs

[patent thicket]

Maybe in a bit.

[twin rain]

I could in 10 or so

[slate field]

I might later

[random vessel]

I can be in in a bit

[tall lily]

in an hour or so

[tidal terrace]

yes

[cinder hare]

i keep thinking about a theoretical support assassin whose kit is like:

invis: vs player only, UESC still sees you, also works vs thermals
smoke: includes temp sig jam for all allies
v: no longer a smoke, gives sig jam to nearby allies for a while, somehow reduces how much players can see you in adverse weather (only if weather becomes wilder and changes more regularly?)

[slate field]

Invis vs. players only?

Why?

Is this because of your weird beef about Assassins being able to avoid UESC?

[cinder hare]

i mean there's just this weird tension between rook and assassin

[slate field]

No, there isn't. I don't know where you got that idea

[cinder hare]

in terms of abilities and where they can go though

[slate field]

And? Half of the shells have abilities that give them additional aerial mobility

That's not a problem to be solved

[cinder hare]

yeah, but that's a tradeoff of the kit

i get rook being weaker than others in general, as a scav option

but it feels weird to me that rook's basic skill is weaker than assassin's in every regard

[slate field]

That's... the point?

[cinder hare]

also because part of it is because i feel like assassin being the number 1 solo pick feels annoying

[slate field]

Ah, so this is just complaining about Assassin

[cinder hare]

not really.

[slate field]

Pretty sure the mods made it very clear that isn't allowed.

[cinder hare]

I'm not saying the design is bad.

[slate field]

But you keep going on and on about redesigning them

[cinder hare]

I sent that once, today.

[slate field]

I've seen you bring it up multiple times

[cinder hare]

yeah, i just like doing design-stuffs too

[slate field]

This probably isn't the channel for that, then

[cinder hare]

im not even saying the current assassin is bad, i'm just talking about a theoretical other designs

[slate field]

Try the Marathon Discord

[cinder hare]

i dont stay in that server.

[slate field]

I don't blame you, lol

[cinder hare]

but seriously, you're being quite hostile for when i'm just trying to talk about an alternative concept

i dont like assassin, but im not complaining

[slate field]

Uh-huh.

[cinder hare]

Like, I did word it somewhat poorly

but what i was trying to say is closer to like, I feel like Assassin's kit could be more fun or interesting with more support anti-info tools, and if it's capabilities were either more distinct from rooks or opposite to that (such as rook invis to uesc, but not players, and vice versa)

even though rook is wholly it's own playstyle due to filling into trios with a WSTR, clays, and a backpack (which is its own ability in a way, thus replacing the need for a stronger ult through a strong kit on entry), i'd prefer when every ability, in general, is distinct and has it's own usecase other skills dont have

[slate field]

I imagine they might introduce alternative models for the shells that change up their kit in some way, later down the line

[cinder hare]

like Vandal vs Thief, Thief's is a lot easier to use and can get much more vert at once, but Vandal's is massively more accessible and regularly available

[slate field]

An assassin that messes with signal jamming might be interesting, but the invisibility is kind of key to his whole core design

[cinder hare]

but in the case of Vandal vs Destroyer, I think Vandal needs some changes or Destroyer needs some changes due to how Destroyer has the whole air-boost

which offers much more flexibility than Vandal's slide

[cinder hare]

yeah i wouldnt be certain on changing the invis wholly, but at the least it shouldnt remove aggro, so the UESC keeps on their "active / hunting" state for the duration

or make it so when you run UESC can still see you to an extent, similar to Rook's

[slate field]

I don't think they should touch his invis period

I think it's already in a good place balance-wise

[cinder hare]

yeah this is less about balance and more about how his gameplay is

[slate field]

Okay but in a multiplayer competitive game you have to take balance into consideration

[cinder hare]

because there's also situations where a character (shiv from deadlock, for instance) is balanced but not fun / in the best place for the game

[slate field]

That's just a no-brainer

[neat nest]

Bring back MCTT assassin

[cinder hare]

what was he like again?

i remember alpha fully-invisible assassin being broken AF

[neat nest]

4 more seconds of invis and the smoke bomb is 1 huge circle not a string of 3 grenades

[cinder hare]

like, appear behind you, delete you, disappear

[slate field]

Deadlock is a third-person MOBA shooter that's still in beta, and not very comparable to a fully released first-person extraction shooter

[neat nest]

Oh and I think like 15 seconds off of the CD

For invis

[slate field]

The invis is quick enough to recharge with a few tactical recovery upgrades, 15 secs off the base would be insane

[cinder hare]

yeah but it's still a good example of balance flaws

[slate field]

I do think his smoke abilities feel like the weakest part of his kit and could use some tweaking

[slate field]

It really isn't.

[cinder hare]

I mean, i'm not comparing the games, i'm talking about designs being innately flawed in one way or another

[slate field]

Yeah, I'm not gonna get anywhere arguing about this with you so I'm gonna ask you politely to please drop it

[cinder hare]

I'm honestly just confused by your argument, really

and why you decided to frame it as complaining about assassin in the first place

but ill stop now

[slate field]

Please drop it.

Thank you

Anyone else been having issues lately with icons in menus being glacially slow to update?

Nvm, it's not happening anymore for some reason. I think it might be because I wiped a bunch of old drivers and reset my Nvidia settings

[cinder hare]

skinning or red room?

[tidal terrace]

both

slimed the entire map within 5 minutes of spawn and got pinnacle

[twin rain]

to be fair we basically fourth partied a fight to put 7 bags on the floor

[cinder hare]

How the fuck

[neat nest]

Literally everyone decided to fight under drone wing

[cinder hare]

Ngl i have a slight suspicion being level 91 means we get queued into lobbies way harder than normal

[cinder hare]

That explains it

[tidal terrace]

this party has an average level around 60-70

[neat nest]

We learned from Bungie support that 71+ is one of the level buckets

For anomaly anyway not sure if it's anything else

[cinder hare]

Yeah true, I just get queued into level like, 150+ lobbies regularly

I've met level 200s multiple times

[cinder hare]

thas a lot of guns

[tidal terrace]

more than i need

[cinder hare]

my stash has about... 6 guns

[cinder hare]

maybe 7

it's like, gold magnum, gold wstr, gold bully, and then 3 more guns that i save for actual usage

most of my storage is salvage, meds, and mods

i wish we had separate salavage space, cuz it takes up like, 150 slots

[neat nest]

same yeah

[slate field]

<@&1474420814979010821> Anyone down for some sponsored Darsh runs?

[patent thicket]

I would, but it's quite late here.

[sand sluice]

I could make more space if I got rid of purple shields but trying to have a fair bit in my inv

[placid oxide]

Same, shields being the one thing I can’t buy at purple means I’ve got more of that saved than anything else.

[sand sluice]

Yeah the metaprog be rougher than tarkov

[cinder hare]

it would be really nice to either have a separate salvage section or allow you to "preinvest" into stuff

[sand sluice]

Separate salvage section would be nice ye

I get what the devs are trying to go for though

I kinda wish I could like

Extract d2 knowledge from people so I better understood how bungie does stuff

Omg

Bungie apparently broke rank for pinnacle rank

That's so funny

They changed holo tag buy options so pinnacle can't buy anything below plat but nobody realistically will buy anything above gold

That means anybody grinding codex entries get stuck at low pinnacle unless they get lucky on queues

Apparently you can get around it by stockpiling holotags of lower ranks though

[lament pecan]

vault space is like my #1 deterrent from playing long sessions...

[indigo oriole]

Just gotta die more

[lament pecan]

suffering from success moment

but no lowkey i wish i didnt come out of super successful runs and just go "oh right i dont have room for any of this" because of a bunch of minor pain points that just really add up

[sand sluice]

If you sell it all for credits

You can get more vault space

[lament pecan]

if i sell it all for credits... i cant use those credits to get a lot of it back...

im sure i'll have the opposite problem tomorrow when cryo archive opens back up

[sand sluice]

heads up rook has voiceline bug

actually nvm, maybe I misheard the voiceline

[sand sluice]

rip me, I'm def gonna need to take a break from this game soon

[patent thicket]

I’m totally out of leg and head implants, nearly out of body implants, I have two cores left and I lost most of my blue and green shields yesterday. Guess it’s a Rook day today.

[sand sluice]

I was having some bad rook runs

So I did free kit runs solo on outpost

I killed 3 runners and got into pinwheel solo

I even had 3 red keys

I don't feel much anymore when I extract successfully

I am definitely ready for s2

[patent thicket]

Yesterday was abysmal. The worst day I've had so far, I think. Hopefully today will be better.

[sand sluice]

Perhaps

The loot giveth

And loot taketh

The only static unchanging thing is the flow of loot

[patent thicket]

The loot mostly tooketh yesterday.

[sand sluice]

I hope it giveth to me this weekend

[neat nest]

That was me on like Sunday

[sand sluice]

I want to beat compiler so I can say I've completed the game

[tidal terrace]

Yesterday was brutal

[slow rock]

I doubt I'll ever hit compiler. I'm considering the game complete once I do truth/lies 6

well, I've already done it technically. but not for myself

[neat nest]

I’d like to do compiler but idk if it’ll happen this season haha

[slow rock]

getting the coolest priority contract done and then I'll see what I do for the rest of the season

[neat nest]

My season goal is level 100 to get all the cheevos and feeling comfy on Cryo

[tidal terrace]

Id like to do compiler too

Would need better gear but yknow it's chill

[sand sluice]

Honestly compiler itself isn't the struggle part

Its doing vaults 1-6

After that you just need DNA access card and get good enough rng on a lobby

You can hit clearance level 5 without running into players with enough luck

[neat nest]

That’s good to hear that’s what I was feeling

Vault runs seem awfully time consuming to learn

[sand sluice]

Compiler only actually requires clearance 3, clearance 5 is the extra loot room but they nerfed it IMO

Biggest pain is getting the DNA access cards cause those are rng and seem to come out of vaults

[neat nest]

I’m at the “ok so I know the objectives now but my PvP on Cryo feels 2 standard deviations worse than on any other map because I don’t know the map well enough” and that makes it feel agonizing to feed keys to people lol

[sand sluice]

Pvp on cryo is like

Stalemate->pick->wipe

And honestly if you get caught in a stalemate better to just gtfo

Cause they're always a 50-50

Alternatively throw more grenades than the other team

Learning each vault and having the keys is def the biggest pain points

Esp cause 06 key is contraband

Ideally if you do it. The key holder keeps both tags and the key and if a teammate goes down you just run and exfil rather than risk it

[tidal terrace]

Yeahhh same

Wstr might be a consistent way to hit the ante requirement though

But map knowledge is so important

The only reason I'm as good at outpost run backs as I am is because I know that map like a rat

[slow rock]

some friends of mine were doing two wstr loadouts as a bootleg way to do "free" kits for cryo exploration

[tidal terrace]

and cryo i know nothing

i do like knowing outpost like a rat though

[neat nest]

Cryo is hard to learn too

[tidal terrace]

the double kill I got yesterday with cyan and blade was really funny

[neat nest]

It’s huge and maze like

[tidal terrace]

they just chased after you guys while I was crawling in the vents and then stabbed them to death lmao

[neat nest]

Oh my god that was such a weird fight

[tidal terrace]

Best part of knowing outpost like a rat is the memorisation of all the pinwheel exits tho

it was so funny

it had to be infuriating for them

[neat nest]

The sum total of my contribution was being rezzed and noticing the invisible assassin sneaking up behind Blade

[tidal terrace]

They picked you, tracked down blade, and then this weird ass vandal crawls out of a vent and stabs your assassin to death and then stabs the destroyer when they come for backup

[neat nest]

Otherwise I just blundered into all 3 of them at once and died instantly like a red dead redemption character at the end

[tidal terrace]

id quit the game for the day after that

[sand sluice]

Cyan has anti assassin vision confirmed, I'm blind af that they have to be running

[tidal terrace]

the funny part btw is that the assassin didn't see me chasing them

Because they thought I was upstairs

god what a cluster fuck of outpost yesterday

[tidal terrace]

It was very cool to show you the orientation drop off though

Reason I like doing that is because it denies rooks entering and most people forget about it

So you can just leave through the walls and they'll lose track of you

[sand sluice]

Orientation drop off?

[tidal terrace]

there's vents in the walls of destroyed wing that drop you right into the front door of orientation

without needing to open the security door

and without going to the regular exits elsewhere

[sand sluice]

Oh pinwheel exits

Yeah

Those are super rarely used

Generally cause most people exist in like the dead or fed state

[tidal terrace]

I use them all the time they're great

they're awesome just for denying rooks

[patent thicket]

I still think they should do a thing where you can set up a premade kit to compress a whole loadout into four spaces in the vault.

[sand sluice]

I don't but again, usually I just 1 tap headshot rooks with the outland. Or last night where a rook killed a rando when I was in trio fill.

They put down a claymore and sat behind it and I was playing vandal and charging the arm cannon going, "shame" before I blew them up with their claymore

[patent thicket]

Looney Tunes type shit.

[sand sluice]

P much

[patent thicket]

Rook standing there like Wile E. Coyote

[tidal terrace]

I like stabbing them to death

[sand sluice]

I should have grabbed all the red keys tho but I didn't do it cause I assumed the trio fill lobby was gonna be more dangerous

[sand sluice]

Instead it was 25 or so minutes of me just walking around deleting runners with the outland as they and my teammates bumbled around the map

Such a different game when you know all the spawns and know where you can sit for free info from the spawns

[tidal terrace]

Sadly I still don't have the "stab 25 people to death" knife

[sand sluice]

I don't either but tbf I think that's just combat eliminations so can just do it off one good cryo run of stabbing bots

[tidal terrace]

Despite my best efforts

[tidal terrace]

it's just hostiles yes

but I just keep barely missing

I had 23 the other day

[neat nest]

Apparently I do and I genuinely don’t understand what’s happening

Do I have weird settings?

[sand sluice]

Could also just have game file corruption somehow but that's thinking zebras when you hear hoofs

Likely some sorta settings thing

[patent thicket]

I can usually spot them. They shimmer in a similar way to Infiltrators in PlanetSide 2.

Unless they're holding totally still.

[tall lily]

I'm betting its a color depth thing

[patent thicket]

Maybe.

I'm gonna be doing Rook runs for a bit but if anyone wants to group up, I'm down.

[sand sluice]

Inb4 this is how some people find out they're color blind

[ivory laurel]

I have stuff to loose

[patent thicket]

What do you see in this circle?

[patent thicket]

I just started a run, but it's Rook so... y'know. Please tand by.

[sand sluice]

Sixty sev---how dare u

[patent thicket]

Yeah if you can only see a six, you're colorblind.

[sand sluice]

I see the seven

I'm good

[ivory laurel]

What if I want to go to the Marathon?

[neat nest]

How about this one?

[sand sluice]

"Skin 1 billion runners"

[tidal terrace]

please post a colour blindness test instead of a brown blob next time

[ivory laurel]

Only if it's consensual

[tidal terrace]

but yeah assassins look heat shimmes

cyan do you live further south or in a tropical area

maybe people who see more heat shimmers have anti assassin vicion

[neat nest]

Not really

[sand sluice]

See to me there's nothing if they crouch walk

[neat nest]

I do like to play assassin so maybe I get more time looking at the shimmer

[ivory laurel]

Lmao

Why is it called a biotoxic disinjector anyway

Wouldn’t having your biotoxins disinjected be good??

[sand sluice]

Because it disses on people, or did

The grenades are secretly beat down raps

[placid oxide]

The gun is rapid disinjecting the green slime at your foes

[woeful tundra]

i've literally never seen this gun in operation but by a direct read of the etymology without the modular subtranslations (toxins as english word, injection) it kinda means "removal device that is toxic to life"

like if you point it at somebody and all their proteins blast out of their pores

that would suck

[placid oxide]

Makes the runner's cognition core or w/e it is called eject from their skulls pretty rapidly

[tidal terrace]

so canonically in the original game i belive its kind of like the dna gun in cruelty squad

where it kinda gloops you by just fucking your entire nervous system beyond belief

[neat nest]

It’s also like loaded with ferrofluid or something?

[random vessel]

weekly cryo free kits finally

lot of people with money out there that don't normally got it

[tidal terrace]

first cryo run went well but wasnt familiar with exfil procedure

i feel confident in my ability to run it back and pony up gear to stake

[random vessel]

every cryo run i've had the team's bumbled around in our spawn before someone else with more security clearance comes in to blow us away

[ivory laurel]

I am more confident in finding exfils now as well

[sand sluice]

Find exfil terminal with lvl 3 clearance and hit the button.

Then run to that exfil

[ivory laurel]

Bigger issue was finding said terminal

[neat nest]

Exfil terminals are near yellow corridors near the corners of Control

[patent thicket]

I think it went pretty smoothly until the end!

[tidal terrace]

our group was all people who were on their first cryo run lol

so we did not have a lot of the knowledge we needed

aside from eku

[indigo oriole]

learning via being exploded

[tidal terrace]

i was trying to find the terminals but we got a bit rushed and panicked, i could have probably gone ahead and found one of teh exfil terminals but got a bit spooked

didnt lose anything

also i finally got the knife skin

i have all of the "you are not a good person" cosmetics now

[ivory laurel]

Not my first, but still in single digit

[sand sluice]

I desire to get cryo first runners when I'm going for compiler

[twin rain]

[neat nest]

They’re making the Marathon artstyle real

[tidal terrace]

It's called Arturia

And it's already real

[cinder hare]

im constantly code weasle'ing

[neat nest]

Like the synth company?

[tidal terrace]

But seriously Arturia synths are very marathon

[tidal terrace]

ye

check out their website and their hardware and software

It's extremely marathon

it also happens to be my program of choice

[neat nest]

I can see it

[cinder hare]

im never gonna friendly a rook ever

[neat nest]

I think it’s a little less so but this cardputer thingy is also stunningly Marathon

[tidal terrace]

I'll pull up some of their very marathon

[cinder hare]

it is such a pain getting 3v1'd outta nowhere

[tidal terrace]

like these

arturia has a distinct visual style

[neat nest]

Ooh that second one in particular yeah I see it

[cinder hare]

wait those are actually affordable

[cinder hare]

<@&1474420814979010821> it has been an hour

fucky wifi tho

[mossy bridge]

fuck it we ball first run of the day will be cryo

oh you have a third my bad

[lament pecan]

when you learn some of the less obvious flank routes in outpost the map feels CRAZY fun actually

[mossy bridge]

wow i completely forgot how bad trio fills are

they also do not know of this lovely thing called push to talk so i need to hear them slurp soda into the mic

[cinder hare]

@tidal terrace @ivory laurel I shouldn't queue since the wifi is just too inconsistent to run reliably

I feel like if I went in id get code Weasle'd the second I try to run

[mossy bridge]

@tidal terrace do you need a third

[ivory laurel]

I think so

[cinder hare]

god i wish cox internet wasnt so shit

also i think it might have to do with marathon servers

[sand sluice]

CW: meat sandwich

In a Single Run:
Eat Fresh 0/1

[cinder hare]

[sand sluice]

<@&1474420814979010821>

[patent thicket]

I think I've got a couple runs in me.

Just need a few minutes.

Quad Damage#7599 whenever you're ready.

[sand sluice]

still good or no?

[random vessel]

I'd be down to clown if we can get a third

[tidal terrace]

im gonna have dinner but i could play in 30-40

[patent thicket]

Ah, sorry, didn't see the ping. I did a bunch of Rook runs, but I'm good to go again if you want. I probably have energy for a few runs.

[tidal terrace]

I will be free 👍 for marton

[patent thicket]

I managed to refill my stock of guns, but I need to get more blue shields.

[tidal terrace]

Nucal time for you

[patent thicket]

This is what came to mind immediately for some reason.

"Why did you Destroyer Explode?"
"Teleport to Dire Marsh."
"Darsh."
"It's Dire Marsh time for you."

[slate field]

I can fill any empty slots later if y'all will have me

I wanna take some serious cracks at Cryo Archive

[random vessel]

hearing "we'll take care of you" as a rook

[random vessel]

<@&1474420814979010821> lookin for a third if anyone's up

[cinder hare]

I wish I could run today

[twin rain]

[tidal terrace]

[neat nest]

My aunt’s visiting so I’ll be away for a lot of this evening and tomorrow haha

[tidal terrace]

stabbing people in perimeter

[patent thicket]

I’m a stab enabler. 🙂

[random vessel]

<@&1474420814979010821> slot opened up

[tidal terrace]

first successful cryo exfil

@cosmic flame the humble Punishment Mod

i wonder what THATS for.

also did prove that my theory of being able to hear final exfil more easily than spot it

[cunning portal]

<@&1474420814979010821> Anyone wanna play?

[mossy bridge]

it’s like nine AM UCT

[cunning portal]

its my one night/morning off i had to see lol

its about 5am here

[mossy bridge]

fair

[placid oxide]

Also an international discord

[ivory laurel]

Ye, we are pretty international. Like it's just past noon here

[tawdry sequoia]

If I was home I'd have been game yeah

[strange wren]

Yeah, I think that if you opt into a role which isn't timezone specific, you have to accept that folk outside of your timezone also exist.

[placid oxide]

As someone living in the American south, I wish I didn’t live in my own timezone.

[tidal terrace]

Are you in Brazil time

[cunning portal]

Im in EST but I also work nights so im on weirdo time lol

[placid oxide]

Central time here

[patent thicket]

EST.

[tidal terrace]

gaius posted something so bad even his friends were down on it

[mossy bridge]

Let’s get you patched up.

[tidal terrace]

Akira psychic blast image flash

[cinder hare]

Ok I need to see that

[neat nest]

What was it yeah

[vagrant carbon]

Trying to find motivation to play this again

[sand sluice]

It's okay to not play

If it wasnt for me randomly queueing cryo and getting AI subroutines I would probably just be spamming random trio fill runs going for shell mastery

I got vandal yesterday shooting down from destroyed wing to get the 20m from above

[tidal terrace]

Captioned "let's get you patched up habibi"

[neat nest]

Lmfao oh no

[placid oxide]

The spinal curving that poor shell is experiencing

[tidal terrace]

had to explain marathon lore to my gf over breakfast today

now she's mad at me for increasing the backlog

[sand sluice]

Nah just tell her that shells are basically just web packets trying to inject themselves into http requests and getting a return is them successfully extracting

[tidal terrace]

She wanted to know about the original triology

[sand sluice]

Oh

oh no

[placid oxide]

There’s some great 5 hour youtube videos that can do it justice, lol

<@&1474420814979010821> Anyone up for a few runs?

[tidal terrace]

Give me like twenty mins and I can

omk im free

[tidal terrace]
