Were these devs doing meth when they put the WSTR in? Are they retarded?
Hes right you know.

>already casualizing the game on day 2ill omens for the hardcore crowd
Outpost is the best map made in gaming history. I played outpost and fully understand why they want you to wait. Its not that cryo isnt ready. The players arent ready. The step up in difficulty from dire marsh to outpost is insanely drastic. I genuinely cant imagine how cryo archives is gonna be. They are absolutely cooking right now. #Marathon #marathonthegame #MarathonTakeover
This game runs like SHIT.The gameplay is SHIT.The macro is horrible.Dead in 2 months because it's impossible to play if you're not a FPS tryhard veteran.
>>559574682We need to keep going. They are starting to listen.
I need a steam chart update
>>559574682what did they change? i haven't been kept up the date since last night
I know they're weaker but I love the reliability of the volt weapons. I know if I'm smart I will never run out of ammo and they still deal a fair amount of damage.
>>559574682really? is the game fun now?
>>559574621>John of Duty Sprints, Jumps and Booster Dashes into you from 50m away>one taps you with my double barrelHeh, nuthin personnel Runner.
>>559574801They put more ammo/med loot boxes on perimeter and free kits have more ammo
>>559574917oh cool can you raise the ttk now?
>>559574801They adjusted the starting ammo on some freekits and made some miscellaneous changes like making objective markers show up from further away. Other than that it's just been paypig stuff and we're getting a patch next week.https://x.com/MarathonDevTeam/status/2030099819587588389
>>559574801>Next week, we'll be issuing our first update for Marathon! We'll have full patch notes when it arrives, but here are a few previews before the weekend:>Increased the distance objective nav points appear from 10m to 20m.>Increased the number of Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates that can spawn on Perimeter.Increased the amount of starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne free Sponsored Kits.
>ping location in dire marsh>acknowledged>kill 1 member of another team, nearby kill a second, get downed>killed>wtf where are my other teammembers>they ran to the opposite side of the map like a minute beforehand holy shit these people are actual lemmings
>>559574762I think the UI is the biggest thing. Why is EVERYTHING hidden behind multiple menus?They need a quick option like Arc Raiders that allows you to quickly access your inventory/vaults/etc from any page in the menu.
SAVE ME OBAMA
>>559574986>>559575006>few previewsthat means it's not all the changes they're making
Can someone explain to me how deluxe keys work?
>>559575102This. DO NOT REFUND.
>>559575006>>Next weekwe're cooked
>Escape from tarkov>thermals are rare and expensive because they give you a massive advantage>Marathon>find one like every 10 minutes10/10
I played the game for 5 hours straight and got killed every single time.I havent regretted buying a game so hard since Diablo 3.
>>559574961Is the m77 good? I tried it like once in the slam and wasn't impressed, at least the stock version.
>>559575006Unless it's the F2P button being hit, game is done. They can't possibly recoup the insane dev cost on 60-80k daily players and that's assuming it doesn't drop lower. Not buying until proof that this game isn't going to crash and burn in a month and so far it's not looking good.
>>559575278Refunding is perfectly okay. If they make significant changes and it looks better you can always buy it again. If the changes aren't enough then it shows them that they need to fix their shit.
I've never been more conflicted about whether or not to buy a game than I am here. I'm not a big multiplayer gamer. I'm especially picky with PvP stuff. But the server slam really scratched an itch that I didn't know I had, albeit for only 4 hours or so. And I kinda want more.It's not that I'm worried about this being a Concord, its clearly not, even if Sony might have had some crazy unrealistic expectations for this niche-ass game, but how much longevity am I really gonna get out of this knowing that I will definitely not survive on the harder maps? To say nothing of the many single player titles coming out in the next month or 2, at least one of which will probably kill my interest in this (I'd put money on either Crimson Desert or Saros being the one to do that). Plus my current backlog of games I already own that I really should be spending more time with.
>>559575421You can't be THAT bad
>>559575565Go away doomie, nobody wants you here.
whats the lore behind the weird guns
>>559572145so this is where they hid the power spikes, in golden attachments.>>559574961>increases aim assistWHAT DOES IT MEAN? I DONT HAVE ANY AIM ASSIST>>559571109>>559570862if the timer goes to 0 and you didnt open an exil, one last exfil opens in the middle of the map (at least on perimeter) and you have 1 minute to get to itif you managed to open any other exfils before you can still use them during that minute
...
>If you don't play the game in this hyper specific way you're not playing it rightokay i wont play then
>>559575006they have to fix the ttk before the casuals get turned away before it gets good!
>>559575636Apparently the Bungie Bullet Magnetism™ is what gets increased, so you have a wider angle on that.
>>559575569Honestly I would wait. The game isn't bad but clearly wasn't ready for release.>how much longevity am I really gonna get out of this knowing that I will definitely not survive on the harder maps?This is also an issue. Even the "easy" maps are built for squads so if you don't have people playing alongside you some of the quests are pretty much impossible unless you feel like grinding them out until you get lucky.
>>559575353its crazy if you look at all the tree upgradeslike if you max out everything, you pretty much remove any sort of extraction part of the game because it just turns into 1 round rng counterstrike because you can just buy snipers and shotguns but no we cant allow you to buy a 3 round BR from halo 3
you guys need some realistic expectations. they won't be making any gameplay changes outside of a few number swaps here and there for at least a month. unless there is some catastrophic player falloff or rapid negative sentiment towards core systems they will wait until at the earliest all of their milesotne content to be out and experienced / reviewed before planning future direction
>>559575638Achievements are bugged. The reviews are extremely positive so I don’t believe that only 20% people have completed 21 runs.
>>559575569See>>559575421If you aren't good at PvP shooters, you're just going to be food for chads. Zero point in playing this game if PvP isn't your thing. You can try ARC raiders; they have far more lenient matchmaking and it isn't going anywhere. Still might scratch that itch with far less git gud bullshit.
>>559575913This. DO NOT REFUND.
>>559575421refundwe fucking told you, but Valve might pity you unless you bought on a third party site like a retard
>>559575913>Achievements are bugged.This sounds like a cope
I refunded and I refuse to try this shit again until they add movement.
>>559575836I mean I think I'd be fine in the short term just splicing in a few runs here and there casually before going back to Diablo 4 or Ninja Gaiden or whatever else.>inb4 just play Arc instead ya fuckin casualI've thought about it. I had a bad experience with that game in the beta so I kinda just wrote it off but I'll admit that I definitely didnt spend enough time with it. I dunno. I just really like Marathon's aesthetic and gunplay more.
Man I really like the feel of the M77 and the flip magnifier>>559574507>using the reddit image for the OPBut why
This might unironically save the game.
>>559576096>gunplayYou can count on Bungie games to be good at three things: gunplay, worldbuilding, and skyboxes. Anything that is not one of these three is a complete coinflip every time.
>>559576179I don't think STS2 needed the boost
>>559575638the game is not finished! hold of refunds until everything is fixed!
>>559573281>>559574624BUNGIE I KNOW YOU HAVE FUCKING MARKETERS AND COMMUNITY MANAGERS LURKING ON 4CHAN PUT THIS SHIT IN THE GAME ASAP YOU NEED TO LEAN IN MORE ON HOW DEADLY AND REACTIVE UESC IS
The people asking everyone to refund sound like bots to me. Most of the people playing are having fun, but the way these people talk is as if the reviews are overwhelmingly negative. When in fact it’s the opposite, especially with the release of the latest map, Outpost. At the very least, you should stick around until Cryo.
>>559576263>the full game launches March 5th>but actually the good part launches later >uuuh please don't judge now!Then why the fuck isn't it released with the game you retarded gibbons. Oh wait>we're Bungie, the greatest FPS devs on planet earth and EVERYONE will show up to our next MASSIVE HIT and EVERYONE will instantly fall in love because we're PERFECT IN EVERY WAYAlways count on the patented Bungie Arrogance. Can't wait to see this studio dissolved.
>>559575785im pretty sure its literally aim assist and MnK pc players just get nothing. hence why we had aim assist for mouse in the alpha as well. they just didnt come up with an alternative because its a console game.
>>559576263Also the game already released. Why would anyone hold their review when Bungie are the ones that decided that the game is ready for release? Either it is or it isn't.Also telling them to hold their review for WEEKS is stupidity on unprecedented levels. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Sony/Bungie are threatening to never give review copies again if their reviews aren't later/highly rated.
>>559576263>launch the game>charge $40>cash shop with $20 skins>premium battle pass>D-D-DON'T HECKIN' REVIEW THE GAMERINO YET IT'S NOT FINISHED, YOU HAVE TO WAIT THE GOY PERIOD FIRSTBungie deserves the bullet but any fucking publication that follows that guideline deserves a cartel torture death

>>559576593Did you live?
>>559575918Thats the weird part, I actually had a pretty good experience with PvP in the server slam. I did get my shit handed to me on a couple of occasions but nothing as infuriating as what happened to me in the Arc beta (had a decent run for the first time only to get shot in the back mid-extraction. Uninstalled immediately after this happened)
Are there more players on maps compared to server slam? I noticed a lot more pvp now compared to before.
>>559576726Some anon is convinced they upped the amount of solos in a raid but there's been no hard confirmation
>>559575636>>559575785>>559576469See this 4 year old reddit post for exactly how aim cones and aim assist work in Destiny 2/Marathon/Tiger Engine. The very short answer, is that there is an invisible cone coming out of your camera, with the center being the middle of your reticle. As long as this cone has a part of it touching the enemy, you will get a hit, or if it is touching their head/crit spot, you get a crit. This means you want your aim cone to be larger (higher angle). As you fire, the aim cone shrinks due to penalties. You want the penalty for this to be non-existent (as small as possible). I wouldn't be surprised if the range and zoom stat was also factored into this calculation without telling you, since it works that way in Destiny as well.And yes, all of these stats affect MnK as well as controller, only difference is reticle friction. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/nw2iac/massive_breakdown_of_aim_assist_and_accuracy_and/
>>559576096If you'd like a more PVE focus Arc Raiders does a good job of it now. Since they added aggression based match making you can end up in many matches in a row where nobody shoots each other and they focus on killing Arc/completing quests.That said, Arc has its own host of problems. They've continually made the game more of a grind and a little harder so it's not as new player friendly as it was. There also aren't a lot of quests and they aren't particularly compelling to do.
>>559576651You just made that person refund the game.
>>559576770I never played Destiny but I guess it's nice to get some parity with the AA stuff if you want to use those mods, though that may not be very purist of me to say.
>>559576770and you are sure this is the system they use instead of just literally bumping up aim assist for the controller chuds?
>>559575918I think this is going to get worse over time as the casual audience leaves and only the hardcore players remain. You won't have the balancing factor of 1-2 hit headshots like you have in Tarkov so it's going to be better gear wins.
>>559576910honestly, he should. i would've deleted my steam account
>>559576970It's the exact same shit, Bungie is lazy as balls and the entire game is a 1:1 recycle minus the models. Even the enemies are straight port of the D2 aliens, it's uncanny seeing the big bots hit you like the cabal or fallen/psions would in D2.
>>559576679That was with people trying the game out. Anyone that actually buys this game is a straight murderer. Zero chance of you surviving or even getting the chance to get better. Which is also why this game will fail; zero room to learn as a new player, you will be food and you will get dropped every single round until you give up. It's an inherent problem with extraction shooters and Bungie and Sony are so fucking stupid for never considering it at all when they pushed it to he mainstream. Dadgamers and casuals will not just die over and over and think "wow let me try again!" They'll drop the game and move on.
>>559576651>smoke the exfil>hail mary run>exfil successfullyThis is something I kind of hope they change. Make the exits have a timer so that you can run in and escape in the last second. Having that 10 second timer just heavily encourages exit camping.
Be honest with me.How many of you are just in this general for the schadenfreude?
>>559574507Yo you gotta stop using these pics for the threadstarter man
>>559576894The only thing I'd lift from arc is the aggression matchmaking. At least there it'd give pvp'ers a constant stream of fights.
game needs proximity text chat
>>559577148Oh 100%.
They’re refunding people past the 2 hour time limit for this game. Take advantage of it while it lasts.>t. got refunded after 263 mins of playtime
>>559577138the voertime exfil works like that. but yeah exfils are retarded as is. they should be instant as soon as you activate them. there's 0 reason to force you to wait 50s other than to encourage exfil camping. if they were instant then you atleast have a chance to extract by bum rushing or making a tactical approach
>>559576970they reuse entire weapons and animation rigs from destiny i don't see why they would do anything to change the same aim assist they've been using since halo
I could see them changing the exfils.
>>559577138they should at least do it for solos
Do you like this game the way it launched? Is it a bit too hardcore? I know the camping autists like it, but what's there to do besides the pvp.
>>559577042I'm a casual FPS player, i was good at boomer shooters back in muh days!So far i'm keeping up with the bullshit thrown at me but i dont know how long i'll continue doing so, i have probably <10% extracting success and even extracting full of loot doesnt even feel good because i KNOW i will lose all of it next run.
>>559577148I'm waiting for the game to go F2P
this is so fuckin funny because people made a stink about it and every comment was pretty much sayin DUDE ITS BUNGIE OF COURSE THEY WOULD DO THIS JUST ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS AND ALSO LOL DONT HAVE TO BUY ITits like all the fuckin glazing defenders for this shit tryin to deter people from voicing concerns and its actually makin them change shit. they dont realize how much power they have.now fix the ttk
>>559576915Those aim assist values are present on every weapon, just as a hidden stat. The gold mods are just copies of exotic weapon effects from Destiny 2, and they are modifying the aim assist values slightly. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a Last Word like mod at some point for a hand cannon.
>>559577686>The gold mods are just copies of exotic weapon effects from Destiny 2why liedoomcucks are so desperate lmfao
>>559577587its so over for us Marathon bros
>>559577686Oh so it's baked into the guns themselves and there's also mods for it, okay.
I don't play the male shells because they look fucking gayand black.
>>559577445100% Solos can be a miserable experience because it's so easy to exit camp. I straight up don't bother with early exists anymore because they are camped or another player rushes you 100% of the time. I just AFK on a roof somewhere and wait until 10 minutes and then work my way towards one. It's honestly kind of lame that the game effectively forces you to just sit doing nothing in order to exit more safely. Especially when it's early on and you don't have backpacks/etc so you fill up instantly.
>>559577796I thought George Droyd and the guy with the hoodie were the same shell for longest time
Bungie, if you dont give me a more than 20% extraction rate I will start to cheat as rook just to maximalize griefing and ruin other "people" ( if you can even call whoever plays this people) fun of the game.
BUNGIE LET ME INSURE MY FUCKING CORE MODS YOU FAGGOTS.
>>559577829>I just AFK on a roof somewhere and wait until 10 minutes and then work my way towards one.You should be doing this in solos anyways, ALWAYS linger on the map for a bit to scoop up extra shit or do some PVE. There are ZERO spawns after the initial wave, Rooks cannot join in and buttfuck you, they crave Trio Booty. After 15 minutes there's basically nobody left on the map and if there are they are likely doing the same thing.
>>559577042The thought of people dying repeatedly, getting frustrated, and then sitting there in the dull purple glow of their screen while staring at a moth sucking shit is amusing this games a prank on everyone.
>>559577882Don't worry they're in panic mode retooling the entire game right now to appeal to as many dadgamers as possible. They immediately failed the hype check and day 1 peak check. Hulst has set up a permanent phone to scream into as the leadership are pulling multiple all-nighters to figure out how they're going to right the ship over the weekend. But they're too proud to admit they fucked it by being a fuckin b2p multiplayer game in 2026 when all the kids are playing Roblox shooters lmfao.
we could only hit 78k today runners, tomorrow will be better don't give up hope
>>559577541The secret is selling all of it and building up a big stash of money so you can always afford the 2.5-5k sponsored kits and never waste a moment of your time fumbling around the ugly menus building a loadout your gonna lose in some bullshit manner anyway
>>559578136this. they react on uproar. if people dont voice concerns for shit then they will continue doing what they do.thats probably why i hate the people blindly defending this fuckin company. so many times i ask for a ttk change and get met with "its in a good spot :)"its your fuckin funeral, then.
>>559578014>There are ZERO spawns after the initial wave, Rooks cannot join in and buttfuck youYes I wouldn't be surprised if they change this later on. I have two screens so I just put a movie/show/youtube video on one and chill.Meanwhile in the game I play Thief and just use the time to drone in and steal items, and harass other players for their items if they happen to be around, and mess around.
>>559578136What a shitshow.Even shelving the game for a bit is terrible for casuals, since they'll be behind on perks on vault value lol.
I'm going to be honest.I watched a friend play this game on a discord livestreamIt doesn't look bad at all. Its alright but the first thing I noticed how was aimless it seems. My biggest problems when I watched him play for a few hours are - Loot doesn't have much value- shields (lol what the fuck?)- no limb systemIt doesn't seem like an extraction shooter, it just seems like a battle royale.
>>559578136The game isn't that hard tho? The only thing that's annoying is the monstrous amount of material farming you need for faction upgrades
>>559578367>it just seems like a battle royale.It is
>>559578367Shields are kind of weird rn since they don't function anything at all like Halo's. It honestly plays more like CS or more accurately Valorant than Tarkov or Stalker
>>559578367it's a battle royale for people who are too insecure/hipster to play fortnite
>>559578367its a battle royale but worseyou have to gear up and lose that gear
what's the highest value kit you've lost?during server slam i lost a 12k kit and today i lost a 6.2k kit [/spoiler]fighting the uesc...no other players were left on the map lol[/spoiler]
>>559578351>>559578014Also Thief's goggles are SO GOOD for this. Players miss so many loot boxes and items so you can easily get a lot of money.
>>559577148>Be honest with me.>>559576894>If you'd like a more PVE focus>>559577456>Do you like this game the way it launched?>>559577882>20% extraction rateVery good game. The only objective, is to kill those, who call in an exfil. Nothing else matters to me.
>>559578706you're a huge faggot, never post these clips again
>>559578385It's hard if you have no friends to play it with and aren't an absolute god at PvP FPS. Imagine being a casual ARC player who barely PvPs trying this game out. You queue solos and get smoked running to your first building by some dude with a thermal sniper. You try again, get to your first loot zone, and get gibbed by a rat shotgunner the first container you go to loot. You try again, and are once again blown out by some dude off spawn. You give it one more go, loot a few things, engage the AI and barely survive, then get creamed by the dude that came by to hunt you and clean up because he heard the fight you had with the AI. You then put the fucking game down and refund because who the fuck would keep a game after an experience like that? You're making the same mistake Bungie did: Assuming your massive playerbase are all hardcore PvP players with premade teams all ready to drop 40 bucks and poopsock the game for the next year.
so basically now we know all our favorite gaming journalists and reviewers are paid shills, I don't know how to feel about this
>>559578535so far i havent used a kit higher than 3kthe most i lost was like a 9k inventory bt that was looted from players
>>559578787>Assuming your massive playerbase are all hardcore PvP players with premade teamsA certain other shooter that came out recently and has a few days left to live also made this mistake.

Trioing with randos isn't actually all that bad.Haven't bought the game, but that's one hundred percent of what I did during the server slam, and I had something like a 50/50 exfil rate.Sure, 50/50 isn't amazingly /fun/, but it's not terrible either.

>no way to disable crossplayAlright, buying an aimbot now.
>>559579104>>the normie players discover the infuriating world of extract campersYou don't understand. I come from Arc Raiders, every day I reverse-boosted my account, to get into PvE lobbies, and kill on extract.I know what I'm doing and I love doing it to humans.
>>559577652This was always the plan it’s called anchoring. TTK is perfect. Don’t be a shitter
>>559578508Shields is so retarded in these types of games. Let me explainIn Tarkov the armor, penetration, bleed and ricochet system are so crucial to that game because it adds tensionRunning high tier gear and high tier gear does make you very strong but it never necessarily makes you invincible, you can die if you just happen to get shot in the face by a 9mm and I guess that's the one part that really sucks but there are a few items like armored face masks, visors and other bulkier helmets that protect you from buckshot or lower caliber gunsbut marathon doesnt have any of this shittheres no depth, it just reminds me of apex legends with extractionsthats about it.
>>559579193kekaroo really? I was about to on PC because consolefags never have mics and are always retards
>>559579212nope
>>559579158What's the reward for killing bullet sponge?A cool weapon or gear?
>>559579158Using the world rat is telling on yourself retard. You will be the last team standing at the boss point
>>559579231There's core and implants, but yeah I agree they feel rather shallow compared to an armor system. I think that you should be allowed to mod shields because they're functionally just another healthbar really.
>>559579231the shields in this should be your first line of defense. it should be what the majority of your health isbut its not, its just like a shitty extension of your healthbar
>>559579242Yeah, controller built in aimbotting is way too strong.Just plug a controller and try it for yourself with a freekit.

>>559579367the shop was fine too. dont know why they had to change itthe ammo was fine too, just dont be a shitter, but they changed thatthe pick up range on icons was fine too, dont be a shitter
>>559579424>roguesloppers eating up a reskinThis supposed to mean something
>>559578976It’s genuinely not people’s fault that shooting other players is only the only fun thing to do in the game and exfil camping is the most reliable way to find other players. Looting sucks, the environments suck, the objectives suck, there’s 0 reason not to KoS all other players.However my friend, to you I recommend trying out camping the NuCaloric building on perimeter or another location needed for a liaison contract. Guaranteed source of unsuspecting victims, often multiple in a game.This is just an extraction shooter with chores and you can bully the shit out of people while they try to do chores
>>559578706>>559579158these webms cured me of any temptation i had to play this gamethanks
>>559577456It's a solid 6.5-7/10. Solos are clearly tacked on.Melee is stronger than a lot of weapons.Exit camping is constant. (I've found people exit camping all the way to 3 minutes remaining.)PVE/Quests are clearly built around being in trios but the game releaSolo spawns are terrible, there are too many players at the start so you just turn and rush one side to find/fight another player within 30 seconds of the start.Trios feels too empty opposite solos. You could go 10+ minutes without even hearing other people shooting.Lots of bugs. I haven't encountered any gameplay breaking ones but lots of small ones.UI is a nightmare to navigate and deal with.Season pass is pointless.Skins are basically all recolours. (I don't care so much about microtransactions but I might as well mention them.)Shells are not all balanced.The game clearly wasn't ready for launch and the devs have admitted such by begging reviewers to wait until the end of the month (multiple weeks post launch) to rate it. Effectively saying "Let us try and finish the game real quick before you review it!"

>>559579158>"you're a rat! you're a rat!"arc redditor spotted
I’m having a VERY hard time understanding how anyone is enjoying this… I’ve put in 8 hours today and I’ve only extracted 3/4 times.Yes I’ve played solo and trios, none of my friends want to play this game, so I’m stuck with randoms.I’ve been playing PvP games for over 20 years, Im usually top 3 on destiny PvP randoms, COD, diamond in apex playing with randoms, and have no problem taking out multiple teams in arc raiders back to back; but something about this game is not clicking what so ever/does not make sense. I get the first shots off and they hit but why am I dying so much faster than anyone I’m shooting?I’m beyond exhausted from this ttk. I can not truly believe anyone out there absolutely loves this ttk. I think you’re all actually coping and trying to pretend it’s okay if you say you like this - or you’re just rats - plain and simple. I guarantee every single one of you have gotten killed and thought “okay, yeah that ttk is a little fuct”. I promise anyone that has played my raids today would be in this exact same anecdotal evidentiary position about this game.Not to mention the quests explanations are abysmal. They don’t explain anything and often leave something out so you’re stuck HAVING TO GOOGLE THE ANSWER, not because it’s a complicated puzzle; but because bungie dioesnt tell you shit like “you need this key or need to turn the power on before you can do step1”. I absolutely don’t think there should be hand holding but this is just plain negligence not explaining a lot of these abbreviations and terminology that only exists in marathon.
>>559579362I really like the game but I agree with this
>>559579490>says the raped, as he plays a destiny reskin
>>559579762>I’ve put in 8 hours today and I’ve only extracted 3/4 times.you just fucking suck lmfao I've extracted with free kits like 10-12 times today. Genuinely git gud.>you're just rats if you like the ttkarc redditor spotted, opinion dismissed.
>>559579762>Im usually top 3 on destiny PvP randomsi can already tell this is only quickplay you are talking about and not something that would actually transfer into marathon like trials or comp
>>559579762lol skill issue unc
>>559579762Source your quotes
>>559579762damn he had me on his side until he bitched about the quests
>>559579195And arc raiders survives because it’s only a minority of people like you willing to jump through the hoops the matchmaking imposes to filter you out of pve lobbies. For the average player only doing PvE lobbies it’s a rarity to run into someone like you. This sorry ass game won’t ever have the population to do that kind of segregation
>>559579762You are just a shitter. Seriously. I’ve extracted multiple times today with randoms. Go back to carebear raiders
>>559579762>I’ve put in 8 hours today and I’ve only extracted 3/4 times.I'm a solo queue retard and I easily have a 40% extract rate didn't read after this
I cant tell if im having fun.Its fucking pathetic and sad im unironically saying this. I also just keep getting upset about the player numbers and a possible quick death of this game.

rook on outpost is fucking awesome, honestly outpost is so fucking cool i cannot wait to see the marathon ship
>>559580101honestly watching this game crash and burn is going to be great just to piss off these retards larping as hardcore
>>559580292I just hit level 12 and I'm kind of scared to go in
>>559579158The real answer is that you need to take EMP grenades for shit like this and then PRAY that your team can keep the damage to kill him before he magically regens it all instantly mid gunfight. Atrocious design choices.
Wow had my first audible 'fuck this stupid shit' moment. Apparently if you start an exfil beacon right as the countdown to final exfil starts, it will do the entire normal exfil for you, including the animation of you escaping. And then count you as dying because you weren't at final exfil. I've done multiple exfils like this but starting with 10 seconds left, but apparently having your little ipad out when the timer hits zero means a silent go fuck yourself. I could have run to the final exfil, it was only one POI away.
currently ratting as rook on outpost waiting for final exfil to save all this loot i found, will i make it out alive?
>>559580301it seems like skill issue now but people aren't encountering the bullshit yetpositioning memes and playin tactically isn't going to make up for the sweaty mlg tards with railguns, thermal scopes and shot gun on taps.
>>559580334HOLY FUCK I NEED TO PREPARE FOR A FIGHT THAT I CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN!!!!! CAREBEAR RAIDERS HELP ME
>>559580383No you will be extract camped and not even looted.

How am i supposed to enjoy this game if players keep killing me not even 3 minutes into a match? :(
>>559580326go as rook and risk nothing, its the coolest map so far by far, just know almost all exfils are restricted and need a key, so ive found final exfil is the best way out unless you find a key for an exfil or do a guarded one
>>559580383rooks are fucking scarytook out two teams and boss on outpost earlier and the only time we actually truly were in danger of wiping was right at final exfil when two wastelander rooks rolled up on us

>>559580507pick one>erm thats how extraction shooters are >work on your positioning
The real answer is that the current and future player numbers would be fine for a mid level studio with a reasonable development budget and proper expectations. It could be a well done but niche extraction shooter and ride out a reasonable life. But this was THE save-the-company game from Bungie expected to be worth the massive amount of money Sony bought them for. That is why this game is done for. They made a niche game and pitched it for a wide audience. Delusion.
post vaults
>>559580140Dude I had good fun in server slam as solo assassin camping contract points and bullying trios trying to exfil as a rook, I’m just saying this game is gonna bomb because theres only fun to had for a niche player base and that fun requires everyone else involved to continually eat the pile of shit that is the rest of the game. You don’t even get to ruin someone’s good time, you’re just making their bad time even worse
>>559580526I will, thanks bro
>>559580721>look at me i put a bunch of attachments on random weapons i wont ever use to increase the value of my vaultjust sell it all like a man
>>559580721My vault is fucking FULL
>>559580812i havent had a chance to use them because i always exfil with more loot : ]
They need to buff the rate at which lore collectables appear, they are astoundingly rare right now.

>>559580645>>559580702How am i supposed to work on my positioning when the average player plays like a monkey on heroin? No matter what i do i always lose firefights.
this game will live and die based on on fast bungie can make the pve solo friendly
>>559581030then refund and get the fuck out of my game, it's not for you
>>559581030we dont like faggots here
>>559581057Make killing UESC units give some kind of fading shield that buffers against player damage, make players think twice about rushing at other people fighting bots
>>559580721damn you are way more loaded than i was at lvl 14
>>559577739OK then I will prove it. I am going down the list of prestige mods on the wiki.>Flechette split actionHipfire grip mod, or any of the guns from destiny that have a similar effect.>Lockout muzzle breakJust copying PRX legacy from purple pulse rifle frame from Destiny, which in itself is a copy of the BR from Halo 3 (copy of a copy of a copy of a copy...)>MIPS Slug ConverterMakes the double barrel into The Chaperone with Roadborn perk active>Interval MagWeird hipfire bonus with an iron sight bonus as well? Strangest combo, not a matching D2 weapon, but closest to the exotic perk is Revision Zero where the alt mode turns it into a sniper rifle with shots built up from precision hits in normal mode. >Rodeo MagThe Huckleberry. >Kingmaker MagModified version of Cranial Spike from Dead Man's Tale scout rifle (worse though)>Overclocked DelimiterJust turns a shotgun into a fusion rifle LMAO.>Lever Overhaul InterfaceModified version of Cranial Spike from Dead Man's Tale scout rifle (worse though)>Pistol ScopeJust adds a scope to the magnum. The Forerunner in D2 had a much cooler perk (gave you a bonus frag grenade)>Vital IntelLiterally copied the perk 'Threat Detector' from D2 and added the MIDA weapon effect of giving you radar while ADS.
>>559581057I think you mean how fast they make the F2P pivot. Nobody's going to buy a multiplayer game in 2026 lol.
this will be my gun but im sad i cant unlock it permanently in a shop. whats up with that?dont sleep on this gun guys
>>559581030Be slow, you should be shooting people in the back a lot. Also use the Volt Thrower SMG and don't shoot til you get a lock. It's a friendly weapon that will kind of just auto win you a lot of short midrange fights against people who can't insta turn and shotgun your ass.
>>559581110Nah, im gonna ask in the forums for a PvE mode untill they give in because this game is going to inevitably fail in 3 weeks max.
>>559581185worked for helldiversunfortunately sony is retarded and thinks helldivers is something they can repeat
how long till some fags gonna make a "HOLY THIS IS SO BUSTED" video and you see melee assassins or vandals every game
>game trailer has vandal do a rocket jump>try game>vandal cant rocket jumpI should fucking sue.
>>559581185Works for good games lmao
heres the list. thoughts?
>>559581176>Makes the double barrel into The Chaperone with Roadborn perk activeholy fucking based i need this immediately
>>559581297you need the mod implant for it which is unlockable via sengouku skill tree to unlock it in the shop to buy or something
Everyone keeps going to that stupid house in Columns fuck me!
if any bungie devs are reading the threadI would buy this game and spend thousands of dollars if you made a PvE more just saying
>there is a purple mag mod that turns you invisible for like 500ms every reload>desmondpilak is literally killing 10 people per game with shotgun cuz the invis is so brokenthis game is NOT competetive unfortunately
yea solo rook runs on outpost into the pinwheel are fucking sick, got my first purple shield, remember guys you can get into the pinwheel using the secret redlight method via the broken wing
>>559581185Except you?
>>559581271That was a co-op shooter. My bad I meant a PvP multiplayer game. People see value in co-op because it's guaranteed they can get better at it, unlock things, and ultimately see most of the game with time investment, and there will be difficulty levels and a tuned experience that's designed to be fun. PvP games? You're paying to get your brains painted into the dirt by ESP chinks and Adderall addicts. People participate if it's free for the "fun with friends" aspects, existing in Bronze and Silver rank brackets or playing fuckabout modes. But paying real money for that shit? Fuck no.Playercount is my proof.
>>559581423I would buy every skin for my favorite shells ngl.
How do I, as a solo player, even get blue/purple items? Or gold for that matter?
>>559581325>no shotgundelulu>>559581446wut the method
>>559581441>streamer forcing 10 people per game to uninstall this kusoge >this is bad somehow
>tag in dire marsh>5 minutes queue alreadydead game
>>559581519camp exfils and steal them from corpses of people you kill
>>559581530there are four red lights on the side of broken wing, placed randomly all over the broken wing, you need to blow them up and it will open the red restricted doors in, feels like no one knows this but me rn and i am cleaning up
What faction upgrades gives me purchaseable triage cores?
>>559581504I dont even have the game and I want to buy that vandal skin
solo ratting is hilariously easy why would i even run rook
>>559581423They should've made this a 6v6 team-based shooter instead of some stupid extraction shooter. But every fucking dev team is terrified to make something that's not rooted in either Call of Duty MP or Overwatch's hero shooter bullshit (dps/healer/tank)
queue on console with crossplay off is insanely long. i had to give up and turn it on again to get a game. is steam bigger for this game than ps5?
>>559581634(:
>>559576726>>559576758Maybe they changed the number, but also everyone is rushing quest objectives which makes the lobbies feel more populated. It mellowed out once I had more RNG objectives around loot.
>>559581519Do data caches and lockboxes, key rooms.
>you NEED a 2.7k shotgun to kill geared sweatsheadshots should have been the equalizer....
>>559581678It’s because you are looking for other retards who turned crossplay off. It’s probably like 5% of the PS playerbase
>>559581678turning crossplay off means you can only get matched with other people with crossplay off, which nobody is doing
>>559581705I feel bad for the guys trying to do the Tick Building quest, that's a very early filter if you get really aggressive lobbies.
How do I make it so I can buy the BR? It's so good.
>join autofill>nobody uses mics and they all run everywhere + blast randomlyWow i sure do love losing every single loadout and heal i hadWhat a shitshow this game is, worst playable game launch i ever played
i always wonder, does this work on players or only damage from robots?
>>559581756Yeah your average console user would probably have no idea what your talking about if you asked them whether or not they have cross play on
>>559581806ARC GLAZER DOENST HAVE FRIENDS AND RELIES ON CAREBEARS LOBBIES KEEEEEEEEEK
>>559581403I shouldnt need to unlock basic movement, and even if I could rocket jump, i need to charge it up for a year, its not just a quick projectile, and its ONE SINGLE SHOT with a 8 year cooldown after. Theres multiple layers of limitations making it dogshit, any type of jumo that uses more than one rocket is impossible, whats the point? They might as well have not had it all. I already refunded.
>>559581423>if you made a PvE more just sayingWhat?
>>559581325>overrunwhat
>>559581886Only fps i play except this one is CS
>>559581660No one would give any fucks about this if it was just Siege: Bungie Version.
>>559581325The Overrun fucking sucks?????
>>559581986This is why CS players stick to CS; No other game works like it and they can't easily adapt to other PvP shooters.
>>559581979>>559581530>>559582032heres another listi wonder if it depends on available mods. i know overrun can get a burst fire mod so its like the br33
>>559581660>They should've made shitter strikefuck off
>>559581893based rocket jump schizo
>>559582054What the fuck is the Stryder and Misriah I've literally never seen them before
Tomorrow, we're breaking the 100k player mark.The doubters? In absolute shambles. Hopegods will win again, we always do. Hope is what makes us human, bungie will flourish and the destiny adjacent leeches will finally die off.Numberfags will be swayed by the meteoric gains shown on Saturday.Their whines will turn into cheers, because this isn't a race... its a Marathon.
Quakefags btfoStick to your dead gay genre if you want to rocket jump ADHD all over the map lolWhat, do you want them to add bunnyhopping too?
I want to fuck my worm mommy
If the game doesn't go F2P this weekend it's EoS within a few months.
>>559582152ive picked up a stryder which is the mulltitool from destiny allah actually the halo 2 br and i honestly prefer the br33
>>559581660>broooo they should have made it slop of the week duuuuude
Truth is you are a gigantic faggot. Here we have a AAA developer trying to do something interesting instead of just doing generic sci-fi slop #35, they could've easily had high TTK, fuckton of shields, fights that go on for 5 minutes with low cooldowns but they didn't, because at the end of the day it just isn't fucking exciting anymore and everybody knows it.And all you faggots have to say to them is "waah why didn't you make the pve slop game that we USED TO like" or the "lobby based shooter that nobody gives a fuck about anymore". You faggots are living way too comfortably in the past, you'd want destiny 35 and halo 40 in the year 2150 even though you know It wouldn't be fun anymore, because that's the kind of faggots you are. You'd rather play something you're used to that's not fun anymore than play something new and exciting that you have to learn.Bungie really fucked up many times along the way with this game and they're barely holding it together right now but you faggots make it really hard for people that enjoy the game to not defend them when all you got is inane bullshit to muddy the waters.I don't give a fuck about your rape trauma from Destiny or your desire for lobby shooters to return, the game at it's core is very fun, it's atmosphere is interesting and it's visuals are refreshing. They are off to a fucked up start in many ways but there is clearly potential with this game, It's not Concord 3 it's not Destiny 3 it's not Halo extraction shooter, and if not for anything else I'll at least defend their ATTEMPT to make something different, radical and challenging in AAA space.>inb4 AI, Shill, Brown whatever retarded shit you got to say because people don't agree with your traumatized view of video games
How are people figuring out the story/lore of the game. I have no clue what is going on with all the flashy menus and stuff I basically only know what a shell is and its purpose.
>>559582178This game is truly buck breaking everyone. I’ve never seen anything like it. Bungie doesn’t miss
>>559582272>you guys just dont want to learn not to die quick therefore you're bad fuck you wall of text
>>559582272you're right, but people here aren't ready to admit that
I'm going to read the game's birth chart to see if it matches to what's going on and the future of the game. Well, try to read it.
>>559582280https://youtu.be/yu7uN6-lNhk?si=wboUXQTEF3yJzMY6
>>559582272This is a reddit post right? oh nvm it's just an unironic shill.Keep on with this hostile marketing it's gonna do wonders for everyone interested in playing the game, btw to anyone else reading, it's likely Valve will still take your refund, do it now before it's too late!
>>559582198>halo 2 brooooh okay
>>559582183I agree but going this weekend would make people who paid $40 so vehemently angry that might just backfire and kill the game.In months, not this weekend (I get you were probably exagerrating)
>>559582347i want something that is 3 hours long so i can fall asleep too. 15 minute audio book doesn't do it for me
more solo rook outpost
>>559582050NTA but CS is the king of FPS.You shills have switched to an aggressive stance lately, trying to appeal to LE HARDCORE CROWD now?
>>559582054why is the overrun meta? lolwho made this shit
>>559582425You're just an unironic retard
>>559582437Sorry I didn't know you were based like that, but since you are you can dyor
>>559575464concurrent player count != daily player count. daily count is usually 20x bigger, assuming an average session length of a bit above 2 hours
Be completely honest, will Marathon get shutdown?
>>559582426yeah br33 is the halo 3 br which is more of my thing. i dont like semi automatics on controller >>559582460again i dont know. probably just how easily accessible it is like the bully
>>559582272i agree with everything you are saying, the game is fucking awesome, it will grow and catch on especially if they build from this foundation. but its pointless to engage with these retards, they will go away in like 2-3 days and we can discuss the game
>>559582472lmao sure whatever helps you sleep at night, get ready for EoS.

>>559581756>>559581761oh ok, why does it work this way, i just don’t want to play with pc folks. it should match me with console players not just those who have turned crossplay off
Refunded. Gonna try Arc Raiders.
>>559582087I don't know what that is>>559582204woops i forgot extraction shooters are a solid idea for a big multiplayer game

>>559582272raped post
>>559582695how long does it take to refund on steam?
>>559582510It's likely the game will shutdown if it craters too badly before the end of the month, Sony must have their Katana at Bungie's throats threatening them to actually turn the game around or else, which most likely won't happen.>>559582551Fuck off stealing my gnostic schizoposting you shillbot, the Hylics are the ones playing the Bungie games, their games are all humiliation rituals.

>>559582695my good sirs, I believe this is a molestorcord brigadier, have at ye paedo!
it’s great that steam is refunding even if you go past the 2 hour mark. i cited the predatory mtx and they gave it to me even after 6 hours kek
>>559582765sengouku or whatever. the one that makes you unlock it with an outpost contract
>>559582750You have a 2 hour window. You can refund after that still but if you played under 2 hours then it's guaranteed. You get your money back within 2 days.
am i the only with this many mods in my vault?
>>559581201>cant unlock it permanently in a shopThis is every fuckin gun I like, it's kind of annoying.
>>559582876I just sell all mods, cores, and implants at this point because I'm still stuck with mostly green stuff
>>559582813>>559582873ok i have under 2 hours, but how long will it take for steam to accept the refund, i opened a case over an hour ago..... i don't want bungie to get any of my $$$ for this turd they call a video game.
>>559582876I'm a hoarder so I'm afraid to use them.maybe extraction games are not for me.
>>559583007It's not gonna take more than a couple of days dude.
>>559583041i could be dead in a couple of days, my head hurts after playing that visual rape.
>>559582876i sell anything below green and then i sell my greens if i need room
>>559583106Well what matters is that Bungie won't get your cash.
>>559583156i can at least die in peace knowing this
>>559582341So the game's main identity is Gemini ascendant, the big three are pisces sun, taurus moon and gemini rising. It's a very watery chart, piscean stellium on the 10th house. Dreamy, emotional, abstract.Mercury Pisces, mercury is the mental planet, it also rules communication and technology but its retrograde on the 10th house, the house of reputation and status. The stellium on the 10th house pisces seems to back the interest and lure of the world and setting and the let down of the genre to most people. It's a cult aspect.Saturn, a malefic planet has landed on Aries, which places the planet in fall. The 11th house is the house of friendship, alliances, benefactors and patronage. Chiron, representing the wound of the chart is also on the 11th house in aries.Aries rules over action, efforts, pursues.Neptune also here means no mass appeal, it has the potential of fine exectution.I am curious though, the 2nd house is the house of work or the money one earns through own efforts, the jupiter placement here, a benefic planet is in cancer, which is exalted...There will be a rework don't sweat it. The early stages of the project and release will be the worst.
