Bungie is going to do a "wipe" on Marathon???

For those that don't know, wipes reset your progress to 0 and was used as a beta testing tool by tarkov. Why the fuck is a supposedly fully released game doing this?

This is LITERALLY the content sunsetting all over again.
>>
>>738867868

No matter what game, this is retarded

I have started a new Factorio game probably 30 times right now. I just started a new game a month ago. The amount of effort and challenge in that game is far greater than Marathon. These people are bitches.

no. several big games in this space dont do that, including the godfather of them all, Tarkov.

>>738868995
Nothing's happening to any cosmetics, it's just quests, armory/stat unlocks and all the gear in your vault
>>
>>738867868
I mean no shit? The timing for this has been known since before the game released. Seems kind of pointless since within a few days there will be a huge power gap again but whatever.
>>
>>738867868
when I started I really wanted to unlock all the upgrades and get stronger since the game is so brutally difficult. But the more I unlocked the harder the game got, I guess because it matchmade me against other high level people. So after a wipe what incentive do I have to level up? it's just gonna be downhill from day 1

They are also vaulting the playercount

The reason I hated the Stop Killing Games initiative from day one is that it is aimed to protect this kind of predatory videogame business industry.

>>738867868
Someone in the room needed to say "How would you feel if all your progress got wiped because the devs wanted new players?" and point out that this creates a perfect offboarding point for people who are kinda getting tired of the game. Devs really need to plan during development how they're going to bring in new players without disrespecting their core base.

The literal faggots and soulless suits who are running the AAA industry aren't smart enough for that.
>>
>>738867868
Bungie said this long before the game released.
>>
>>738868721
Yup. I can't wait for the wipe to kill every casual's appetite for this game.

Streamers, NEETs and cheaters are going to be owning Outpost until Cyro opens. After the first week, they'll be running around in legendaries while the casuals will be in green and blues.

As far as I know Warframe, a live service game that has been masquerading as a "beta" for 15 years now, still has the disclaimer that they may reset your progress at any time once the full release is out. Imagine the salt if they actually did it
>>
I don't understand why game developers abandoned the bread and butter that was campaign and multiplayer. It could have been great. A short story on why the colony on Tau Ceti was destroyed, a bit of customization for your shell, and then through players into classic multiplayer matches. It's that easy

They told you it would reset every season from the very start. Also just spam pinwheel until you get your purple gear back, takes like 3 days tops, this game is not grindy when it comes to gear at all.
>>
>>738870154
>they told you
Told you where, though? Most gamers are casuals and normalfags and aren't on leddit or reading Steam news posts about a game, or anything. Unless there was a huge banner in Marathon that you can't skip that said 'WE ARE RESETTING YOUR PROGRESS EVERY SEASON', the reset is going to surprise and annoy these people.

What they do next will be the interesting part, and my money is on them dropping the game.

money really, making good campaigns takes time and money, extraction slop is an attempt to keep retards entertained giving them barely any content, by making them just fight each other repeatedly, then removing whatever they get so they keep doing it forever while raking in microtransactions.

alas only a very small subset fall for it.

amuaingly enough this was their dream with destiny too, the whole vaulting and sunsetting debacle was about them wanting to make stuff unupgradeable so youd have to grind for it over and over and over again, thus removing the need of them to make new stuff, while also allowing them to revamp old content and run it again and again and again.

they took their own operant conditioning bullshit too seriously, unlike hamsters and pigeons and the like humans detest doing the same shit over and over, and theres a lot of competition for peoples time, thats also free and far less ugly.
>>
>>738869763
Samefag here.

Something that a lot of games do some variation of is introducing new gear sets and/or giving seasonal progress buffs for starting fresh (so for example a new character might have a track to get a strong gun). That's obviously less annoying but might actually require effort on the part of the devs.
>>
>>738870292
why do you care about normalfags so much
>>
>>738870014
That is literally supposed to be Destiny and Bungie couldn't even do that properly.

A main campaign that funnels people into hardcore PvE dungeons and raids and PvP trials game modes.

That is just too hard for modern Bungie. Look how well they've been managing that game.

The studio NEEDS to be shut down.
>>
Part and parcel of living in extraction slop city.
>>
>>738871443
If there's a single studio on this planet who's natural audience is busy millennial/gen x dads, it's Bungie.

But even leaving that aside, obviously the devs should loudly and frequently remind players of something that major in the game itself. If you think that being reminded that they're going to lose their gear might make them stop playing the game, maybe you should scrap that approach altogether.
>>
>>738871443

No I don't, and the weak interest at the start and dwindling numbers are proof of it. But that's still who Sony marketed the game to and spent millions on trailers, influencer spots, ads, and other shit. Without normalfags or extreme luck, your game cannot make back a AAA budget.

i was playing ranked yesterday and the two other guys matched with me said they hadn't played the game since april and asked for my guidance. people are coming back FOR the wipe, and the player count reflects that, the game is on track to soar back to 20K with the mere promise of a clean slate and new content, i'm not sure how you ppl who think somehow the wipe is bad will cope with it

It's a valid question. The sweats are the strongest they can possibly be, so if you're not at that level, all you can do is get eaten by them. What incentive is there to be an appetizer for a player who has gear you can't possibly match?

Not if there's no growth. If it's just the same beaten housewives coming back and the game isn't selling, the very minor MTX sales won't be anywhere near enough to overcome the running cost of the game let alone chip away at regrouping its development costs.
>>
>>738875714
the events you'd know about if you followed the game. and like i said, i have first hand experience with people who dropped the game returning yesterday with the mere announcement of those events. this weekend will see more players than the last for the first time and it will only accelerate once actual new content is out.
>>
>>738876003
I just checked the official Steam forum for Marathon (on PC, the lead platform) and there's not a single post I saw talking about these events.

THE SHORT VERSION (TL;DR)
There’s a lot of words ahead, but here’s the gist of it:

>With the first season of Marathon we’ve created a strong core community.
>We're embarking on a multi-season journey built around growing from the seed of this strong community.
>We’re looking to solve some pain points for players:
>Making the game less grindy, more rewarding
>Making improvements to things like the UI/UX, matchmaking, end game meta, playing as solos/duos, etc.
>Smoothing out onboarding
>We’re also going to build out more of the core game:
>Adding new fun and mind-bending content: new and updated zones, Runner shells, new combatants, weapons, loot, and more
>Building systems to make progressing more interesting
>We want to build more survival experiences for different moods, like if you want to full sweat or lean back and chill.
>Exploring more pure PVP, PVE, and PVP-lite experiences
>Continue experimenting with experimental queues to learn more around these experiences

Other highlights:

We're bringing back Duos for Season 2 with a rotating Duos queue.
We're testing some experiments in Season 2 around PVE and PVP-Lite modes.
We’re expanding the max size of your Vault and increasing faction progression rates in Season 2.
We’ll talk more about Season 2 content like Night Marsh, the new Cradle progression system, and the Runner shell Sentinel, the week of May 25.

They thought extraction shooter shit which combines both was the next big thing. Its not. Its extremely niche. Now they're backpedaling trying to put the choice back. The problem is the game might die before the course correct

Yeah this is the same game director that said PvP was important because extraction shooters are like Lord of the Rings LMAO.
This is Bungie in complete panic mode and Sony is probably giving them a year to coursecorrect.

>>738881367
Bungie only make changes based on data. This was one of the reasons why being a d2 player was so frustrating.
If the community were vocal about something being really unpleasant, bungie would go look at their data and see if players were still engaging despite the complaints and based their changes on that information.

>Bungie only make changes based on data
That data was immediate and obvious as far back as the Server Slam.

Even if you had doubts, it was completely, undeniably clear by the end of March.

The hardcore 3v3 PVP mode was uniformly rejected by anyone except this niche crowd of players. When retards on /v/ can look at your game in a free playtest and say 'Hey, this is going to flop,' you don't need a team of six figure business analyst dickheads looking at charts and data for a month to reach the same conclusion.

Upset by this post not knowing that Destiny DOES have an economy, just not one that trades between players. Usually Bungie just let's this shit rot so it is nice to see they are trying to be proactive with Marathon, in some way. What Destiny 2 ended up with for almost its entire life was the old dedicated playerbase having quite literally impossible to spend amount of currency while new/more casual players being permanently poor.

They've all just outed themselves as not having played Destiny.

Compared to any Bungie game that came afterward? Yes.
Halo's bad guns aren't even unusable for the most part. There are some outliers, but you can usually find some application for any weapon in the game.

>Halo's bad guns aren't even unusable for the most part

I mean if you consider the matchup between the Halo 1 pistol and the Halo 1 plasma rifle - with theoretical kill times of 0.6 and 1.98 respectively I think most people would consider the balancing there to be quite fucking insane.

They probably had a fair variation on kill time by Halo Reach but goddamn Halo 1-3 were just insane.

>>738875427
No one gives a fuck if a reset on Marathon changes the dynamics of the game because the only dynamics people are interest in seeing from it is its twitching corpse and flagging player count.
>>
>>738901119
Just circle strafe with the plasma rifle. It slows both movement and turn speed when you hit something with it.
>>
>>738868028
no it actually makes sense if you consider their work ethic is next to nothing
they don't have to work as hard on new content if you're poor every three months
>>
>>738901407
Sure, I strafe and dodge your shots that have travel time and I bean you 3 times with my hitscan pistol and kill you.
>>
>>738867868
i will continue to do nothing
>>
>>738900321
It's because these games are pvp by nature, and that letting the general playerbase become stronger and stronger will make it borderline impossible to get into

>>
>>738908278
Tarkov only did a wipe once and it was for the release when it went out of beta
>>
>>738908278
They used to have forced wipes before the release version, this was because it was the testing phase but because every extraction shooter is based on tarkov they just copied this.

So they didn't copy tarkov? tarkov has had no wipes on release

That's why good ones encourage players to prestige. Forcibly deleting player's progress without their consent is weird.
>>
>>738912914
To be honest I've been clean of Warframe for 5 years so I don't know what the situation is now, but for most of its lifespan this was the case. They've been treating it like a live service game but it's still technically a "beta" and most if not all of the playerbase has agreed to terms that say their accounts can be wiped in the event of a full release

So mask off?

Bungie is just admitting that this game is early access slop that'll take another fucking year to reach the full vision? Apparently?
