Is it true that a slower TTK would remove all positioning skill? That is what streamers say but I would have thought the higher ttk means postioning doesn't matter, only the first contact.
>>
>>559023878
>slow movement doesnt "reward" positioning, it requires it.
this might help me have another point why it just doesn't work for an extraction shooter like this. theres too many rng variables to consider low ttk and heavy positioning when you cannot balance engagements around anything

the balance is just super fuckin jacked and no casual will want to stick to this game like its halo 3

idk man, something just feels off about this game. really not engaging. just skulking around grinding faction rep, trying not to shoot the little robots otherwise somebody will blast you away when youre not looking. this aint it.
>>
>>559024067
the positioning rhetoric just means higher ttk would mean people tryin to fuckin snipe you out in a field with a couple boxes wont be able to kill you for "being out of position"
if anything its a map problem in any other game, or its just part of the map. but since its an extraction shooter, theres all sorts of nonsense to go with this justification

its all nonsense when you got hero abilities like destroyer who has shields and a jet boost or a whole character about double jumping and unlimited sprinting supers. or like, a guy who can turn invsisible and throw smokes

and you want to balance it around squads, what the fuck you think happens if more than one person, who can already delete you in 2 seconds, shoots you? theres no counterplay to that and already just rewards nonsense. if the gunfights and engagements just turn one shot melt fests then whats the point.
its just a fuckin mess dude.

Trios if you want actions, solo if you want to play MGS/Thief/Splinter Cell

How is this game supposed to last longer than one month when over half the content is inaccessible to 99% of the player base? I mean being able to get to Marathon and play on the map if you do get in, forget it. Having to get 2 other guys to do the little bosses in Marathon and get in Marathon forget it. So solo players are fucked, trying to trio with randos are obviously fucked. You need 3 friends who want to play Marathon and are good at the game, for a CHANCE to play on the other maps and get the loot.

This sounds awful.

high time to kill = it takes longer.
it takes quite long to kill people in this game compared to any other BR, extraction or pvp shooter.

the problem is mostly the slow movement speed and generous projectile size so its almost impossible to miss.
and the rock paper scissor balance.

an smg shouldnt be literally defenseless against a shotgun.

This game needs some sort of quick hub. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, what it needs to be is some comfy little cyberpunk apartment where you can interface with a computer screen, look out a window and with a little closet armoury or something while synthwave plays in the background.

the game needs some downtime for the player and a bit of human contrast to the brutal maps.

is low/high just subjective or did someone determine what constitute high or low? the fuck? am i gettin too old?

1 second is 1 second, thats like blinking your fuckin eyelid.

i hope for yoru fuckin sake you're not comparing other genres of shooters to this because this is an extraction shooter by bungie with a ton of gay hero abilities.

see >>559028916

1 second is very high for competetive shooters / BRs / extraction games.
the game that comes closest to this is Tarkov and there the ttk is much faster unless you use HP bullets against t5 armor.
>>
>>559030407
I cannot imagine a ttk faster than this. The game is already super fast paced with players everywhere.
>>
>>559030407
this isn't a military sim or a hunt showdown that warrants a low ttk due to weapon handling. everything in this game comes out of the box working immaculately. you aim, you shoot, your bullets aren't going to miss unless you allow them too

this is low for everything else surrounding this game. the fact they had to lower it from the last playtest means they had a vision for it to be higher in the first place.
this is just based off guns. are we not applying any sort of magical combination of explosives, abilities, or melee hits in conjuction like were halo 3 shotgun meleeing people?

the shields aren't going to alleviate anything either. you mention t5 armor but this game doesn't have anything relieving anything, theres no better/worst bullets. shit is there ready to be used and the baseline is already fucked to begin with
>>
>booby trapped runner bag
huh?

>>559030761

>>
>>559030879
It's true. Maybe to hardcore sweats it's slow but most players are not that hardcore.
>>
>>559030761
Is hunt even worth playing anymore
>>
>>559030761
The entire idea that this game needs little to no TTK goes out the window when you have an entire class system with players with different abilities. If you were playing as a run of the mill person with no magical sci-fi abilities sure
>>
>>559031271
the problem is that some people like assassin and triage have absolutely cracked abilities by default and dudes like destroyer and vandal need mods to actually be good
>>
>>559031271
even if the armor got better, thats just going to actually make shit worst for new players unless they have gear matchmaker
theres people already loading in with purple modded therma snipers and an inventory of shit ready to sweat and its only been 3 days.

all these loadouts and classes design to just melt you. it really shows the glaring issue with this game and extraction shooters and why you really need to carefully balance things or else its just fucked. lowering the ttk just carpet bombs it all and makes it worst and doesn't help anything.

this whole "well the other games did it this way so this feels off" is just a contagion. now people hop off from tarkov and hit up the new extraction sim thats the opposite of a fuckin military russian simulator and think man, why does this sci fi shooter takin place in the future with robots have people not die like my military sim? this sucks!
>>
>>559031608
Exactly.
Destroyer and especially Vandal feel like half of an idea or character.
Hell, we don't have access to them yet but Thief has three abilities too. Grapple, a butterfly robot that can scope ahead and steal items from people and they can actively see loot in containers without even interacting with them and show what rarities are inside
>>
>>559030761
>>559030757
this is mostly a mix of Tarkov, Destiny and Apex Legends, with 90% of the DNA being Tarkov.

and in Tarkov you die in 1 bullet to the face. or in like 4 to the body if you have good ammo, and thats from 800RPM guns.
this game doesnt even have 800 rpm guns. and all guns in tarkov are ballistic, so fast projectiles and not slow energy blobs.

what you also need to understand is the gear progression like in Tarkov. as you keep playing you eventually unlock purple shields from the store which give you additional 80 hp, greatly increasing the TTK.

a few weeks into a wipe everyone will be running at least blue shields and a bunch of mods that increase survivability.

again, the TTK in this game is not slow unless you only play MMOs or Destiny.
>>
>>559031698
Killing low gear players is the only reward and endgame in these types of games.
>>
I had more fun upgrading and playing Rook than any of the other characters
>>
Wouldn't longer TTK encourage retarded war of attrition battles where you tag enemy with a couple shots they hide pop all their meds and you do the whole song and dance again until one of you makes a massive mistake or runs out of meds?

1 second sounds like a short time on paper but in reality you need to land all your shots to kill and that doesn't happen unless enemy has nowhere to hide after your first shot lands
>>
>>559031802
I always assumed tarkov was balanced by being really slow and stealthy.

longer ttk would make you weigh in your choice if you want to engage or not if that was the case. you dont have to pvp. theres still the pve.

right now its just fuckin melt you right away since you're easier to deal with than the basic robot
>>
>>559032126
this game is fairly slow. if you remove slides and dashes the movement speed is almost identical to tarkov.
except in tarkov you can lean and prone and sit in dark corners, which people do a lot.
you can play fast and aggressive in tarkov, but the game has mechanics in place that punish skill, such as the aforementioned ratting, and slow ADS from sprint, and excessive pain and broken limb mechanics if you get shot out of nowhere.

also in tarkov PvE dies to 1 bullet.

i wonder if thats like the natural development of an "extraction shooter" is just devs tryin to make one game and realize they can't profit off it because live service slop is what makes the money so they start tryin to frankenstein a game with work they put time into already and hope for the best

It's a no-win scenario. If they make a PvE game it is just Destiny 3: The marathon.
If they make a PvPvE game then they bleed playerbase because sweats will keep farming ungeared casuals and casuals hate losing gear.

Just look how quickly ARC pivoted towards friendly servers once they realized that majority of the playerbase doesn't want to fight humans.
Ironically even Tarkov had to implement PvE because people just ran that shit locally.

This angers me the most, the not seeing enough players in PvP was a meme that streamers started, and of course, Bungie being the absolute retards they are they listen to them in everything and balance the game according to whatever complaint the popularize enough. It's how they were killing D2, making the game exceedingly tedious so streamers could make "content" more easily but turning every other player away. The last 2 raids they launched are unplayable on PUGs because they made them stupidly hard/tedious to coordinate with players.

He's better than the other runners by default

if they dont just have that be the pve raid i dont know what to tell them. arc raiders is gonna have pve only soon so cross your fingers

The new player experience has been notoriously god awful for years now and the story makes no sense, because it's full of characters you'll never be introduced to, fighting enemies you don't know from plotlines that don't exist anymore. (Not even the one that comes with the game disc).
The only relevant expansion and content is the newest one if you just want shooting experience stuff, I'm not sure what the state of meta weapons is anymore but you might need to raid for most of the good ones (that means buying more expansions)

When's the slam ending anyways, few hours?
>>
I just need to relieve some mild frustrations about the game.
I only ever play PvE games most of the time but I'm having fun with this game, a lot of fun but I'm also really, really, really bad at PvP.
Ok so what? 90% of my runs end before the two minute mark
>Team pings a location to go to
>Everyone heads in that direction
>We meet another team and proceed to die instantly
We last anywhere between 40secs to 1min and 50secs on the dot. Rarely do I even make to the ten minute mark let alone extract.
Everyones apparently watched some guy called Scare-Oh YouTube video showing how to go after other players and where their spawn locations.
I've been playing since the demo released and I'm just now halfway through Level 27
I don't even have anything in my inventory anymore and use the grey kit and trying to play Rook I just die instantly
>>
>>559035036
The miss to capture a fantasy
The slow tacticool mil sim of tarkov is a fantasy, thats why people like it.

In a sci-fi setting people want to feel like a cool robot or android with abilities and wacky movement.
Most of the runs I dont get to use my ults if somebody shot me first.

Its probably because Bungie took the absolute wrong feedback from the launch of D2. People tore that a new asshole because it was too dumbed down compared to D1, and it wasn't until Forsaken that they started to turn it around. But they began to lean too hard into drip-fed content and appealing to the streamerfags with "hard" or "watchable content" in later expansions that it just put off most normal players that just buy the game to play for fun, especially those that have to run the content by themselves. The irony too was that plenty of the streamers advocating for "harder content" aren't even that good at the game, they always get their shit pushed in whenever there's a World's First raid contest.
That led us all the way here where it is a game targeted for the sweats first and foremost. Of course casual players are going to turn away from it with that awful UI, dogshit community of KOSfags and gaslighting streamers, and of course they're going to mock any streamerfag clearly not having a good time with the game live.

theres upgrades to reduce the cooldowns on shit but i think my last two games before i stopped playin i died at the first poi from knife runnin right to it to loot. so i couldn't even really use any abilities because the cooldowns are so fuckin long for no reason other than the fact they wanted you to not die in 2 seconds at first

since anon wants to use relative subjective terms for ttk and this is clearly too high for him(or you), its safe to judge this based in comparison to tarkov's mobility to being fast paced.

Ends tomorrow at 10AM PST. Marathon launches 3 days after that, so they're probably counting on the game being so addicting that people are willing to shell out $40 or more to jump back in, like a drug dealer giving out a free sample.

You make it sound like Bungie has some kind of intent with their game design. They unironically just look at reddit and youtubers and just do exactly as they command at the time, that's why we've had flip-flop design since House of Wolves

Oh I'm not the guy that recommended it to you.
I can easily say that after 3500 across both games and 3 platforms, I would never recommend either Destiny game to anyone ever. It's literally a "you had to be there" game by its literal design (they said this outright)

He's technically not wrong, the actual shooting of mobs is pretty much 1:1 with how it's handled in Marathon and maybe a bit better in a bubble. The real problem is that the rest of the game and Bungie's baggage comes attached. There's a reason they're actively trying to suffocate it at this point

6/10. i do not hate this game and found it vaguely fun but the maps got repetitive and it felt kinda shallow unless you really like shooting other players. I would buy this at 19,99. But at 30 I feel like i can wait to see if it dies.

I'd give it a 6. It'd be a 7 but I know Bungie's history and what they're like with new toy syndrome. It's £27 on one of the key selling sites so I'm debating it just to fuck around for 10-20 hours, but I don't know if it's even worth that honestly

the fact that in order to get to the real cool stuff (Marathon itself and probably meeting the big names) you need to sweat in a PvP full loot shooter - except those sweats literally do not give a single shit about any of that
truly masterful design that appeals to exactly nobody
didn't r8 lower because someone in the team (read: art guys) clearly gave a fuck compared to pretty much everyone else

It's because they have to cater to the genre they've created. Despite the intro's promises, no quests, dialogue or codex entry can have significant narrative weight. It's like a sitcom, nothing is allowed to meaningfully change in the story ever because it might get in the way of doing a run
>>
>>559038345

Specific creates. I found a weapons crate in hauler that had guns. Loot is really weird in this game because there aren't really any clear places that scream "guns and shields here sir."

They are actually cooperative. You can ignore each other.

I've found weapons from bots but they seem to have fairly small drop chances from the enemies. Really annoying considering every enemy in the game seems to be a bullet sponge.

No matter how the gameplay feels, no matter how interesting the loot is, no matter how good or bad the game looks, I just don't trust Bungie.

supply drops, caches, 'major' enemies, any sort of objective that appears on the map, things that require you to buy keys in the shop, etc. guns basically require you to do something rather than being free pickups

What's the most efficient way to increase your season level? I want to get to 30 before the slam ends but I'm only at 20. I've been focusing on doing standard contracts and killing bots, but it's so fucking slow. I figure there's got to be a better way.

I knifed the 2nd dude in the trio after shooting the first guy down, then I saw the UESC going around to where the other person was hiding and put them down, I turned around and saw one of the two I originally downed try to crawl into extract and he almost got out but I shot him and killed him. His buddy didn't make it in and I finished him off.

Doesn't really matter how good the raid is if 80% of the playerbase is going to be barred from seeing it in the first place because of the requirements.

If it lands I might actually buy it. But it has big shoes to fill to match arc raiders pve.

it will never land, youd have to kill everyone else before you even attempt to kill the boss. otherwise somebody is going to rock your shit as soon as you engage with the pve.

This is why I don’t understand how bitchy people are being saying uhm Tarkov is lower and you can get doinked for less, and it’s like motherfucker you actually have to account a little for shot placement and bullet drop in that game when in Marton you got giga busted AA and shoot in more or less a straight line with no recourse. The only thing that keeps some things in check despite adding some annoyances is weapons that innately have a recoil pattern that jumps around and the solution is basic mod or using literally anything else, fuck that bad AR you know the one

Navigate the first six vaults by solving multi-stage security puzzles while fending off AI swarms and hostile player crews attempting to ambush or extract first.
Prioritize map control and loot efficiency—clear elite UESC units, secure Superior Keys for overflow rooms, and complete faction contracts during the run.
In Vault 7, combine combat focus and puzzle mechanics to defeat the final boss—an entity feared by the UESC—while surviving environmental hazards and potential PvP interference.

ALL MY DOOMPOSTING
>>
>>559042407
I’m about to rock this Reddit post.

The reason the TTk doesn’t work is because of distance in the map, enemy health and Destiny/Halo game kinetics (move speed, aiming, etc.).

The average time to take out a player should be about 2 seconds. Not literally 2 seconds, but 2 seconds on average to account for missed shots, movement, headshots, gun effectiveness, etc.

If Bungie want to keep the TTK, they need to teach players about hyper awareness when engaging AI and whatnot. The problem is that majority of players don’t think like this, ironically, from watching streamers who push people in partner lobbies.

Yeah there’s been a few idiots like Skarrow taking that stance and like even going full aggro mode, there were a few situations his team just barely overturned an engagement they were trying to swing dick on. That’s where I feel like so many of these #ad rats are being disingenuous, like yeah you pitched an essential BR hot drop battle and barely came out alive when you naturally had Triage nullifying any risk when having down time and situations where you beat people outplaying you with low ttk aimbot laser weapons or shitters beat you in similar fashion

It's to make sure rare items stay rare. So you always have to scavenge for rarer stuff if you want to keep using it.

This game is going to be a nightmare for 90% of the player population due to the arcane mixture of SBMM, level based, and gear based matchmaking they're using.

Due to it being the final day I equipped a bunch of blue gear and every single match without fail was against sweaty tryhards in VC's. I have zero desire to be farmed by twitch streamers, so I imagine the game will have a max population of 20k, and Bungie will be dead by next year. More niche than Tarkov.

I unironically agree. I think it will have a higher than normal launch because of it being a Bungie game but it's not an approachable game meaning retention will be an issue. I am sure it will have a dedicated but smaller player base.

Bungie made a game with a high concept sci fi lore and aesthetic only to make the gameplay literally consist of modern day shooting and the most generic procgen feeling maps ive played in a good while. You cant go into the "cool" building on dire. You want to? Be happy you get the 2 levels of literal warehouse design.


Even better,manage to draw people to the sci fi, aesthetic and cyborg/ai themes? Cater your game to pvpfags who never read lore, skip cutscenes and only care about sweating.

If the raid is like that, the game is dead with the audience who would care about it. did bungie think pvpfags, twitch, ninja and people like him are gonna care about the ship, or durandal? Lmao

Any controversial game becomes an instant hugbox on reddit because of the upvote and mod system. Helldivers 2 has four fucking subreddits that range from glazing the devs to hating the game. However, if you go outside r/marathon you can get some real opinions, these guys are basically saying what we're saying but with more reddit toxic positivity. Right now the r/marathon sub is very pro-game, but I expect after it comes out and the devs let the audience down like they eventually will, it will become very anti-dev and the hugbox will splinter off to a LowSodium variant.

The dodge thing he does is too heat heavy for sure. The double sprint feels fine to me with out upgrades. I dont think the shield necessarily needs a core, but it probably works better with one. I still havent found one that reflects shots. All my cores so far have improved his melee.

I think that person is also ignoring that PUBG often had clear sight-pictures and maps that players flow through naturally. (Despite being mostly made up of preset assets.) You could predict player movement.

High TTK starts between 2.5 and 3.5 secs. What the hell are you talking about?, 1 second is where the low TTK insanity spiral starts at because you would have to react at less than 0.5-0.2s and would need to hit an advanced mobility trick to get out of lasering range and then counterland full-headshots to the attacker with something with even lower TTK or that instakills:

He looks a lot like the BOGGART kit that Janissaries are rocking (Janissaries = knock off insurrectionist John Halos). But I get it, there's "shared DNA". Hell, when they revealed the Hell Drone or whatever it's called. A week earlier, the other studio revealed new lore MJOLNIR autonomous combat drones KOBOLD that look EXACTLY like the UESC ones.

Because it can create interesting situations and makes the decision on 'what to loot/bring' more thoughtful. It's in essence the same as when you decide whether or not to bring a mechanic kit.

>>559054372
not to mention guns have to be zero'd in if you want an accurate shot.
like the quickest kills were an obvious blatant broken Venator early on, but most of the time stitchers still took a full clip to kill with headshots, rattlers couldn't kill anyone unless upgraded wit headshots, and a ferro+stitcher swap was still way long enough that in retrospect, was pretty fuckin long ttk

but still, marathon should have it that way considering this game has more fuckin options going for it. in arc raiders you kinda have to accept it after you do your dogshit combat roll for cover

They "feel" longer because everyone is relatively on a level playing field where the only thing that will stat wise prevent a playing from two shotting with a Toro is Heavy Shields
Otherwise it is solely down to your positioning and the consumable tools you have
Not in Marathon where
>there's a class that can see you through walls
>there's a class that can turn invisible
>there's a class that can ignore all PvE threats with no downsides
>there's a class that can block incoming damage completely
>there's a class that can heal/revive from range
And abilities are not one-use, potential-loss items.

Engagements are also longer because the player scale with the enviromnent isn't retarded with very little in terms of cover, but marathon literally takes POIs to the extreme and PvE enemies in this game are nothing more than "COME KILL ME NOW" notifiers.

the ttk already feels too slow to be able to clutch against teams.
if you are a better player but outnumbers, you are out of luck. the higher the ttk the worse your odds of winning as you cant catch anyone by surprise.
the only thing that works is the shotgun i guess.
wish you could use lesser zoom on the snipers, that would solve the issue :^)

Let's be honest, the game's presentation is doing an enormous amount of lifting here. That neon genesis/ghost in the shell aesthetic that you see when you're loading into a game is just such a vibe, and that typeface when you finally see "EXFILTRATED" is just chefs kiss
>>
>>559054758
Recon's power isn't a wallhack though, it just pings everyone in a large radius about once every two seconds
Thermal scopes+smoke nades are super broken and the shotgun you can easily get early on and even its base store version completely mogs most guns
>>
>>559054675
So when Exfiltrated you dont lose your body? because when they beam down, there is no need to bug print the body. So I assume the same happen the other way around.

i still feel that way with george droyd. the fent droids are only useful if you actually have downtime to loot shit. the cooldowns so fuckin long that to get the whole team up and going takes like 5 whole fuckin minutes which you are probably already dead with how quick POIs get with a squad fight

Arc was even better back during the Tech Tests when the TTK was longer and shields mattered more. Combat had ebb and flow as both teams pushed and retreated. Utility was more important too. It was SO fun and at multiple points it literally turned into a melee as both teams ran out of ammo if they were using the free loadouts.

for some reason they should have had some way to procedually generate your shells instead of unlockable skins
make the unlockable skins just give a different set pattern.
that way if you die with the shell, you get a new printed one :)

The pvp guys will only stay on the first 3 maps because that’s where all the action is, and the pve guys are basically just the white boys in black prison.

The server slam is an older version of the game for stability. However the release will not be significantly different.

>>559055351
It's why I fell in love with Arc and I was SO SO SO disappointed in the changes going into their server slam and release. I still enjoy it and know the Tech Tests weren't perfect but I will always swear the game was so much more fun during that time. You actually had a chance to use movement and flanking.
>>
>>559055496
Absolutely 0, Bungie is very slow at creating content and they're selling Thief as well as the other two maps as this great "new" content that will be available on launch. This really is just all they could make with 4 - 6 years of development, 4 small, crappy maps and a copy paste of the majority of Destiny 2's mechanics.

Refunded.

if i was to somehow just give in and buy the game if they magically fixed the ttk by doubling it or tripling it, id probably just go all in on rook and fuck around.

That's what I've been saying all week. First person game is gonna be full of aim-pros, and crazy campers.
Arc Raiders avoided this, because it looks like a Sony movie game(Last of Us) and plays like Red Dead 2.

It's extremely rare for a good player to 1v3 against average players, because the movement isn't fast, and aim isn't so important. No skill gap in Arc.
>>
>>559063645
Im level 10 and i only succesfully extracted 4 times. I'm not spending shit on the game.

You can’t really be “good” at extraction shooters.
All you need for Marathon is situational awareness, that’s the core “skill”.

i know its bullshit. everyone solo just goes visinigga anyway. part of the bad balance decisions that should have been addressed in literally all the playtests.

>>
>>559063696
i only play solo and only died once this weekend
>>
>>559063645
see its a compounded issue when you lower the ttk like that.
extraction shooters dont need to be hardcore. thats just something they keep borrowing and copying from tarkov, the military sim. of course the military sim is hardcore. somehow led to some inbreeding and we have a fucked up dog with breathing problems.

all they had to do was halo with extraction shooter mechanics more refined and made some fuckin sense. now we got halo reach mixed with cod or something

Lower music volume, lower dialogue volume, raise effects volume to max.
Move a little, then start waiting, not necessarily in an obvious corner. Any random spot with something next to you, so you can press your back against it. Listen and listen, you'll get used to shooting exactly when people expose themselves.
Footsteps are loud, when they start getting close, don't make a sound. If they stop for something, or go past you, that's when you shoot.
Or you can let people go, just pretend you're not there. They'll run away, doing something.

I am on the fence. The beta has been fun for a few days here. But this game is $50 in Canada. As a solo player, I’m not sure I’ll get my money’s worth. Especially if endgame content locks solo players out. I’ll probably wait and see how it pans out.
>>
>>559070685
They could just make maps that would be more oriented towards a more FFA faction warfare or something of that nature.
