Remember to eat the path, bros
I loveeee not having the option to duo, I loveee always having dead weight and every fight being 2v3
AAA AA AA WHY DID THEY INCREASE THE PLAYER COUNT PER MAP
the game is saved
I want to fuck a maratroon
>Catch White Shield Vandal by surprise with Devastator>6 headshots out of like 30 shots with a lot of body shots>she turns and wins with the energy pistolWhy the FUCK are the LMGs so terrible?

>>559645283Were you use ADS?
>>559645354Yes, and I feel like the Arachne sponsor kit gave me AIDS
>>559645283I straight up won't use the LMG's because they feel awful. I can't remember the one I was using but it had a wind-up. Stop shooting for half a second? Have to FULLY wind up the get again which is more than enough time for an enemy to full 100-0 you.
have YOU put a claymore inside the sekiguchi outpost scanner today, anon?

what
so what's the optimal way to use the knife in pvp? right click? does aiming matter, I've tried hitting bots in the head but it never seems to do anything extra
>>5596459163 hit combo with left click will generally kill another player
if you're playing solo do not underestimate destroyer's boosted sprint, that thing is insane when it comes to getting around fast
Still haven't passed the Highguard peak
oops I was wrong, highest credit limit is 9 million.>>559644090>>559642803thank, doing it.edit: did it, that fag wildly exaggerated. that wing is practically empty.
Weapon ranking?
>>559646119>f2p game vs 40 dollar game
>>559646158S tiershotgun, sniperD tier: rest
I reluctantly bought the game although I only sort of enjoyed the server slam because it was only $34, but I’m really just not enjoying the loop. The rounds where you’re using shit guns and healing with no shields trying to get back into gearing up into decent runner mode. At least in Destiny I could solo into PVP and still do well, but solo queue and getting retarded teammates feels way worse here.
>>559646265so...same as halo
>>559646163>game from a no name company vs game from Bungie
>>559646373yeah doesnt change the fact one was free
>>559646373look, if you WORTHLESS RETARDED FUCKS hadn't been slamming this game since it was announced, it would've done better. IT PISSES ME OFF.
>>559644648Don't you just love being matched up with a free kit fag while you have an actual load out?
>>559645549The Arachne sponsor kit is so fucking bad I can't even survive long enough to reach a TAD to do this dumbass CyAc contract
why the FUCK are free kits not autoequipped on death why do I have to go into the armory every time
>>559646781It's weird. Sometimes they are and other times they aren't.
played this game for three days straightalso played server slamserver slam and release day were really fun, mainly because of crew fill and people on proxy chat who would actually work with younow though? nobody talks anymorenobody even plays as a team anymore, they just use other teammates as bait and hang around in the background to steal kills or use others as meat shields or just ignore teamplay altogether and run off elsewherenobody even responds to pings or callouts, not even on mic>inb4 play solotried it, its boring. basically just walking simulatorif I wanted to do that I'd go outside>>559646781they were yesterday, they changed itor maybe it was the server slam>>559645283>>559645549>>559646691glad I'm not alone in this kekthey're awful at both long and close range too
>>559646609Bungie deserve it after all the shit they've pulled. Looking at the monetization in Marathon it appears they haven't learned anything.
>>559647081People talk every single match, just start it yourself. I even just write some helllo or something in chat and people start to talk. People need an invitation
>dire marsh, trying to do quest objective>spawn in clusterfuck with bots everywhere>try to make way to objective, turns out an area boss was spawned from the start of the match too, nearly die and use all the free healing items while trying to run away from 500 turrets and bots>void sneaks up behind me kills me and starts teabagging meyeah enjoy the free kit retard
>>559647192>every single matchnot that anon but no, they sure as shit do not.YOU have gotten lucky to get talkers every run, apparently, but don't assume that your experience is indicative of everyone else's.
how much are the 16x bags? 2500 or something?
I suck...I've only killed like 3 runners so far playing some matches today. I've been giving away my loot from the slam (i never even got blue items there)maybe i made a mistakesome deaths are just bullshit, liek the tripwire laser buildings
Blast status?
Is this supposed to be old art for Thief? I noticed during the starting cutscene/tutorial that *this* is the shell you enter and not the ones in the game currently.
ONEFORONE
thanks anon, I got my first successful outpost extract only in the 4th raid.>>559646324its a shame really, combat with ars and smgs feels excellent. getting onepumped by an invisible assassin fag or one stabbed feels like cancer aids.
Do energy weapons make enemies explode after you load them up or something? I've noticed the really cheap energy pistol seems pretty strong considering. At least compared to the light ammo rifles.
>>559647603Alysa wants you to never give up! Don’t let her down!
Bwos!!! I finally did it. After trying for 3 hours solo. I even extracted in the overtime minute in the last second. I'm so glad and I'm fucking tired.Thank you for your attention to this matter and subscribe to my blog
>>559648125I am going into my next run with hunger for killing. I need loot. My vault is so fucking empty bros...
>>559648038The weapon balanced feels fine (but a little underwhelming) in trios. The TTK in solo feels awful because it's almost always shoot first = win unless they're knifing at close range.
>didn't beat D2 all time peakCONCERNING
>>559647603>le whole world has a crush on hershe was only 17years 11 months old in these pictures you sick bastards>>559648058its a chip mod
>>559648292Are you done yet? The games a small success. Let it go.
PLAYER COUNTS GOING BACK UPLETS GO SISTERS
>>559646125I don't understand why he's acting like that strategy existing is a personal attack with him. He just sounds like an A-hole. The real issue is that basically the entire game is built from the ground up requiring an organized trio. It's really going to hurt them as players realize they are locked out of basically the entire game if you're not playing with friends.
Thief is so much better than the others because of her full inventory passive. Literally free autoaim
>>559648424>no weekend boost>the bleed actually continues downwardIt's not looking good.
THIS IS WHAT MY FUCKING GAME CONSISTS OF>>559648125i cant do it...i might refund
>>559648594don't you get bored of saying the same thing over and over
What's the logic behind the Midnight Decay skins? Are runners just flaying themselves pre-infil? Wtf? Surely Sekiguchi isn't printing damaged, bloodied shells, right?
>>559644090Just got gifted this game on steam out of the blue by a friend, what should I know before jumping in post wage-slaving.0 prior experience with any Extraction Shooters / Bungie games.
Looks like they fixed the Thief Pinwheel exploit
>>559648962Not really, no. I've been waiting for Bungies downfall since 2012. This is all quite cathartic.
>>559649074You're in for a good time, trannyposter
this game is great
>>559649139That's quite sad
>>559648584>best passive by far>can see gold & purple shit in peoples' inventory and just take it>great mobility>hacks enemies>can just shortcut her way to loot rooms>can just suicide bomb your whole teamthief is the best girl and it's not even close
Booty kinda nice though..
>>559649042That's what they are supposed to be? Most of them just look like edgelord outfits covered in blue accents.
>>559649395You know what to do.
>>559649042They look like incomplete prints that have already seen combat, given the blood splatters are from external sources. Obviously that doesn't make a ton of sense after you just failed a run but hey take what you can getYour shell should track damage and be visually scuffed between runs
>>559649272Why would you use Vandal when Thief exists? Literally invalidates>recon, thief’s visor is better>vandal, thief’s grapple is better>triage’s power up, it’s a passive for thiefAnd you get a cool scouting tool that is very useful if you’re on comms. Sure it’s useless if no one speaks, but that’s a minor downside.
>>559648584Her auto aim only for consoles unfortunately. I think her ultimate can be extremely fun but the extremely long cooldown and makes it a challenge. Especially since 99% of loot is inside containers and not loose. I was really hoping they would allow you to use her ability to help with questing but every single quest requires you to physically be there or kill something for the item to spawn.
>>559649395A sniffa
THEY ALREADY PATCHED IT LOL
>>559649183I'm having a blast!
>>559649943The drone is still really useful for scouting, arguably better than recon’s. It can harass and be a distraction, and give immediate updates on enemy positions.Thief does multiple things that other classes do but better.
>>559649918The catch is that none of her abilities are really combat oriented and she doesn't synergize well in squads. All of the others have abilities that work in groups or in combat.
>>559650085Good, faggot
>>559649918>vandal, thief’s grapple is betterI can double jump constantly, and if I'm overheated, well shit I can prime and then double jump like 20 more times
>>559644953In, itself, it's not.The reason why everyone is so Doomed Pill is due to entirely Sony and to a lesser extent Bungie.Arc Raiders was a AA Dev Team and didn't make their game for over five years with the sixth year (don't quote me on this) being delayed nor did it require as much money, to my knowledge that Bungie/Sony used for this project. In the same light Tarkov never had a Publisher they were beholden too compared to Bungie with Sony; this also includes Tarkov using even more money to make their game than Marathon.We also know from all the ARGs since 2023 and even an entire prank commercial that dropped yesterday that they've dropped tons and tons of money. On TOP of all of this we know that Sony's CEO was replaced and this project, Marathon was under the previous CEO; this one is from Japan and he's been killing development teams left and right since he was put in a few months back.Sony is advertising this game like its going to be or expecting to have 100k+ players but the only outliers to this is Arc Raiders - every other extraction shooter doesn't and has around 40k to 70k co-current players. Again its fine the problem is they're advertising this game expecting hundred of thousands of players but that wont happen, Extraction Shooters already is a niche sub-genre to the PvP genre and the extraction shooter genre is innately a self-cannibalizing one to boot.The take away? Sony is expecting Destiny 2 Witch Queen numbers but instead it's getting less than Arc Raiders and they killed Destiny 2 for this game; delaying their newest update too. Now Destiny 2 only has 8k players on it. It's dead in the water as well. This game hasn't even gotten the numbers it had for the free weekend a week or two ago either.
the people having to tell you they really enjoy marathon are more pathetic than the people spamming steam numbers and saying its shit. im tired of pretendinglike i really like dmc5 but i can tell you theres some bullshit things wrong with it. why cant people admit theres glaring issues with a game but still say they like it?
>>559650130it's kinda shit that Triage and Thief have 3 fucking abilities while everyone else just sorta has to make do with their two. At least Assassin's synergizes with smoke nades.
>>559650242Destiny is a console game primarily
>>559650170You really don't think grapple is useful in combat?
>>559650268Anybody still posting on 4chan in 2026 is equally pathetic in my eyes!
>>559647081lmgs straight up trash. hip firing with a retaliator for a good 2 second couldn't kill someone for me. could be dsync or something. who knows. they are fuckin trash
>>559650268There's been nothing but criticism regarding shell and gun balance along with how contract grinding is
>>559650404thats fuckin new to me. has reddit woken up? i cant say how twitter goes due to my algorithm switching to dsp not being able to play golden eye and i expect people on 4chan to already know whats up
>pat hasn't even started the tutorial because the game runs like ass and he has to fuck around in the settings
>>559650268I don't think many of us think the game's totally perfect. I think it's a massive fuckin failure that it generally doesn't become fun until you sink like 3-5 hours into it, and the UI doesn't get better, you just learn to tolerate it. There are numerous small balance things to criticize as well.But overall, it's fun. There's weight to your actions from losing shit, but not to a debilitating degree like Tarkov, and it's not essentially a PVE game like Arc - that gives it less mass appeal so in business terms that's probably not a good thing, but it's nice.
>>559650215You can also use it mid combat multiple times to maneuver. Thief's has a huge cooldown so you can either use it once aggressively or save it as an escape not both. Thief is entirely a utility character and I hope isn't really nerfed. >>559650280Assassin has 3 as well. Two smokes and an invisibility. Honestly I think Rook's abilities are the most underwhelming. Maybe it will be better on other maps but his healing isn't super useful once you upgrade him and his "stealth" is worthless when you have teams camping all of the POI's after killing every bot there.
>>559650170Bwo… her full backpack passive on console literally stabilizes and gives you better auto aim… and it’s constant unlike Triage…
>arachne>worst free kit in the game>worst weapons in the game (railgun and mgs are shit and shotguns are insanely overpriced given knives are free)>questline literally just turns into nothing, no cutscene, after completing the first thing after the intro, no further questlines, no lore even>free kit doesn't even have free cosmetics attached to it like all the others>standard contract tasks are all annoying shit tooliterally the worst faction, all they have is le death cult gimmick aesthetic
>>559650628>literally stabilizes and gives you better auto aimOnly on console. On PC (which lets be honest is where most of the players probably on are on) it makes basically zero difference.
>>559650594if only people were more honest about it during that shill period between the slam and release>it will get better i promise!and its like okay, how?and i get it now. because you upgrade all your shit and pretty much eliminate the rng of having to find all your gear when you can just run an upgrade rook to farm a quick run, and/or just buy all the good shit from the shop you unlockedbut no they couldn't explain it because it was just huffing hopium so others would buy it so they didn't feel regret in their own purchase.
>>559648421>small success>failed to break 100k players, playercounts already falling massively>hundreds of millions invested in marketing and development>streamers almost universally shitting on it, even the paid ones
>>559650337According to anons in this thread so is a hardcore, twitchy extraction shooter lmfao.
MY VAULT IS CONSTANTLY FUCKING FULL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>559650679>free kit doesn't even have free cosmetics attached to it like all the othersits supposed to give you the black n red though
please delay your reviews
tell me about the mothwhy does it eat the cable
>>559650731The devs are saying the same thing. "Just wait it gets better! Don't put your review out on the RELEASE version of the game wait until the end of the month!"Like...if the game is ready for release why would reviewers have to wait a month?
Recon is kind useless isnt she/it?
>>559650815>Aztecross fully pivoted hard into this game >he also shilled Highguard relentlesslyI know the man isn't genuine but holy damn he's made some bad calls lately.
>>559650995it's the only shell I've played I'm afraid to branch out
>>559650085>>559638146>>559638973>>559637293ANON SAY SOMETHING
>>559644953Because it's not just an extraction shooter anon. This was Sony's next big live service from a proven studio with a proven IP. And it can't break the numbers that Bungie's recent expansion had that was a significant underperformance and the marathonn delay forced Sony to write down their total company valuation by 200m+. This is undeniably underperforming for something that cost 250m+ to make, and so the studio is very liable to be in extreme jepeordy from a corporate "restructuring"
>>559650731People are kinda just shit at communicating in general.>>559650548Wow the guy who already hated the game and has said that like 500 times and yells it constantly finds something to dislike. I don't dislike Pat but he has completely fucking retarded fixations and is only worth listening to about things he likes.>he manages to get his jank garbage stream setup to 100fps>instantly chimps out about how shit the game is
>>559650881nummy good good electrons mmm zzzzap ehehehe nyumnyum prrrr grnargnar hmmmmzzzzz gugugugu fffffftttf
>>559650964regardless its just like right now, its a loot gambling simulatorkilling people is so fuckin easy that i dont get dopamine from killing them quick, its just to see what shit they had.the pvp part is fucked but people love seeing blue and purple loot
>>559650995I think they've intentionally kept her abilities weak because if they truly buffed them she would be completely broken.>A grenade that automatically tracks enemies and rushes them for tons of free damage.>Free wall hacks with both her ability and her passive.
>try to knife some grenadier because everyone says knife is op>it turns around and kicks me into a wall and shoots me to deathi was gaslit. it worked.
>>559651212>he didnt upgrade melee once>he didnt use a single melee implant
>>559651212>Knife is OP vs players.>Uses it on the enemy that takes 6-8 stabs to kill.
>>559650523Read the threads here dummy
>>559650598Rook's 'ability' is more like his kit is guaranteed to be good outside of his gun
>>559650995In solo kind of. Isn't she ironically the only shell without mobility abilities or passive ones?
>>559651212Upgrade your melee and use hurting hands
>>559650598a lot of capstones upgrade your rook tho. i havent unlocked them but i thought that was the tradeoff
>>559650523The official Discord is still on full simp mode. If you say ANYTHING that criticizes the game they freak out and attack you. I said the game has good parts and bad parts but feels like a 6.5-7/10 early access title and they lose their minds.
>>559651421Well her passive is if someone pings her, she knows and if she breaks shields she can track a dudeUnfortunately with such a low ttk, it's kinda worthless
>>559651497>going onto any official discordRetard
>>559651302>>559651446you guys have upgrades?
>>559650881The moth eats the synthetic worms to shit out the material that makes up the Shells. Is what I inferred.
>>559651421I do feel like a slug playing her. If you dont start with her it's hard to switch over to her later on after playing the other sanic speed shells.
I decided to refund sadly. The game is fun but only in like the most boring way of fun. I got tired of losing, maps are boring (i only unlocked dire and perimeter) Thief is cool but I didn't quite like the game. I suck, yeah....but now I realize I have no interest on extraction shooters.
>>559651769>im bad, im bad and finally im bad so i didnt get to the rest of the mapslol
>>559651553I was about to say, "What upgrades?" They're all locked behind like 15 levels in every vendor.
i'm dogshit and trying to play solo no fill. what are best shells for solo play? want to try something other than assassin
Can someone explain why a shitty M77 AR sells for nearly 1.3k and costs like twice that to by from the store when it's a piece of shit? The balancing and costs of guns in this game are bizarre, the Bully is the best close-mid range weapon in the game and it's like 300 credits. Meanwhile shotguns cost 4-5k to purchase and get styles on with knives
>>559651883are you guys for real right now? fuck man. I'm struggling here with this default kit with the LMG and I thought there was a better way... it's marathover...
Does Bungie make sexy characters or is Cortana the only one?
>>559651880I just got no interest in this genre. I tried but this shit is so ass. I shall be playing Taimanin VNs, Starless VN and pathologic
New skins when? I'm getting a lil bored of these. And I'm not gonna grind quests for skins.PvP Only
>>559652120only thing ass is you, bye loser
>>559651880It's funny how the boot lickers always use this excuse. If the game isn't enjoyable because it's not approachable that's not the player's fault.
>thief xray vision says it blinds people>fight some guy with xray on>hes not blinded>dogshit lmg runs out of ammo>he kills meonly thing thief is stealing is my playtime. fuck I'm so bad.
>>559652137>caring about skins in an FPS gameEh.
>>559652049>what are best shells for solo play?Recon, throw the Spider before shooting someone. You'll either make him panick, or deal damage without firing a bullet. Don't rush.
>>559652309>>caring about skins in an FPS gamePeople get pissed off when they die to a huge pink skin that costs money.They're reminded they suck and are poor
>>559652049It depends on your play style. If you just want to grab loot and get out go with Thief. Assassin if you want a mixed experience. Recon is better for PVP.
>>559651553yeah? doing contracts isnt hard and progresses you fast
>>559652327Literally every other shell is better for solo. Just dont be shit. I admit the grenades good though
Did they had a Hub yet?
>>559652137Are there any decent skins you can juat paypig and get. Thinking of getting the game and am generally a cosmetics whore.
>>559652327>>559652453thanks i've been able to exfil a couple times but i didn't encounter anyone. i';ve been doing the smash glass and kill uesc quests now though and every time someone comes and kills me. i've only killed one person so far in like 5 runs
>>559652624>Are there any decent skins you can juat paypig and get.These for now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDYKPyGAV90I bought all of them
>>559652223This, I tried the game but I'm gonna wait until most of the stream fags file out into next paid flavor of the month. At least there a lot of the players will fuck off too leaving things more approachable.
>>559652764I am garbage too dont feel bad. Ive definitely died more than ive exfil'd. It takes time and even on "good" runs you might very well never encounter anyone.
>>559652764>i've only killed one person so far in like 5 runsThat's fine, you don't need to kill a lot.Just hear the one who is looking for you, lower the music and dialogue volume. Keep Sound Effects volume maxed, and you'll hear footsteps.Then throw the spider towards the footsteps. You'll be ok, free kit works no problem with Recon.
>>559652807I want to kiss vandal. Not really but imagine tho
>>559652120>show up to gay bar looking extra zesty>say you're straight and clap your cheeks as you exit????
this game is falling off fast, did the traxus and nucaloric questlines and now I apparently gotta grind dogshit standard contracts to 10 before the next ones?barely any lore or story hereit also doesn't help that there is very clearly some sort of enforced win/loss MMR going on here, did a few solo extracts successfully and then proceed to lose 5k kits back to back in silent trios where we instantly get killed before the first extract even comes up
>>559652903>Ive definitely died more than ive exfil'd.That's not what being bad in this game means.Getting greedy is worse.Don't get bloodthirsty and greedy, don't chase people as soon as you see them. Don't loot immediately, wait and listen before looting.You will be rewarded.
>>559650831The one that Traxus gives you?
>>559653248Whenever you extract with a free kit it gives you a corresponding skin for that faction/shell you are playing.
>>559653206Surely losing constantly in 1v1's doesnt mean youre NOT bad, right? I just cant aim or some shit.
>>559653112>enforced win/loss MMR going on here, did a few solo extracts successfully and then proceed to lose 5k kits back to back in silent triosAnon, are you squading up with good, top 10% players in trios?Because if you're not working with sweats, you're losing the 5K kits because of shitters.I'm extracting nearly 8 out of 10 times, with like 3 kills each time. No MMR or SBMM.
>>559652137the quests are pretty fun
>>559653523>are you squading up with good top 10% playerslmao, if you think I'm going to use an LFG site you are insane and so is Bungie. no shit that guys like that in trios extract 8/10 times, that breaks the SBMM.
>already fixed the thief exploit on outposti thought you guys said it would take weeks?
>>559653592>the quests are pretty funeven for this thread this is egregious and awful shilling, what do you mean the quests are fun, they're literal fetch quests that require you to frequently cross the entire map back and forth in a single run.
>>559652120wait anon be my marathon egf we can do duos i will carry you!
>>559653725Pretty easy to do when your entire team is working triple shifts to re-tool the entire game for F2P launch.
I wish they added a way to save the ammo from your guns when you reload. Like one that takes 3x longer but allows you to keep it. Getting stuck with a choice between throwing away 7-14 rounds or having a full magazine is lame.
They should add duos...and fours.Yeah I said it
>>559653462>losing constantly in 1v1'sChillax and camp. 1V1 in Marathon only takes skill, when you get shot first.It takes almost no skill(ZERO) when you ambush someone. I love the game, but Recon camping is absolute, 100% unfair bullshit.>Sit, listen>Send spider>Win
>>559653857Wait, Marathon doesn't have magic magazines like most shooter games?
Repping a corp with their corpo skin should net you 10% extra faction rep on extract.
>>559653857there is no ammo loss on reloading, unless you mean batteries
I don't know why people are so focused on the player count. It's a Saturday night, it's not peak gaming hours. Just wait.
>>559653768i think they are fun, the mida ones for example have been pretty fun, gives me a nice larp
>>559653638>>are you squading up with good top 10% playersYou realize you're getting the bottom 50% on your team. While the top 20% is beating everyone.>Muh SBMMSBMM is not strict in Marathon, at least currently.
>Keep getting that one random that just goes off in a direction and diesJust queue solo at that point man. It's genuinely easier for you and you don't handicap your two teammates.
>>559653980>unless you run in a premade sweaty vc using stack you are going to get repeatedly farmedyou're not making a good argument even in your case, that's how you get a playerbase of 10k (and dropping) within a month
im too stacked
>>559654225>10k (and dropping) within a monthWho says that's not gonna be Marathon.Good players don't go solo. They get invited by other nerds. SBMM can't do shit about it.Black Ops 7 got assraped by parties of sweats. Nobody can do anything against parties. Solo players are beginning for Solo-only modes.
>>559654138all the randoms i have that dont use the mic just go to the first outpost, kill every bot they see, run aruond and loot rooms haphazardly, then die to a squad
>>559654278Where you stealing stuff from that little hole exploit?
>>559654412>Solo players are beginning for Solo-only modes.???Do you mean begging? Either way there are solo-only modes
>>559654412There are solo only lobbies you fucking retard lmao
>>559653310Yeah but Arachne doesn't
>>559654412>good players don't go soloI am literally the best runner in the marathon. anon
>DUUURRR THEY WILL NEVER PUT THE W'RKNCACNTER INTO THE GAME
>>559654684>There are solo only lobbies>>559654517>Do you mean begging? Either way there are soloNot in Black Ops 7. I said Black Ops 7 is an example of a game with SBMM, STILL getting dominated by parties of good players.Randoms always lose to parties
>>559653768I like how interactive they are but there's a couple points I despise with them:>Quests that only one person in a match can do, meaning you're FORCED to rush and PVP to do them.I am currently fighting that Traxxus quest because of this. The Hauler is always camped and the item is already gone most of the time when I get there.>Quests that render an area useless outside of the quest.The infested lab for example. There is literally no reason to go there after the quest because the enemies can deal quite a bit of damage and the loot inside isn't any better than random loot elsewhere.>Many practically or outright require a team of 3 to complete."Kill this boss. >Icons are hard to find.They already increased the quest marker distance because it's such a problem identifying the location. It helped but didn't fix it. Objects like TADs, interactable computers, etc should really be colour coded and easily identifiable too because unless you memorize their locations now you will never find them.>Buggy.I've mentioned in other posts that the tracker/map will randomly screw up making some quests exceedingly harder than they should be. I've already failed the Traxxus quest because the DCON locations just flat out didn't show on my map.
>>559654873>cool intriguing lore>in your fucking sweatlord pvp shooter>your core demographic is going to see story and CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKbravo retardo bungo
Is it worth it if I'll mostly be playing soloing? I don't want to fill with 2 randoms in this type of game.I'm not expecting the game to to grow in popularity any time soon, either.
>>559655093That's me.I aint readin allat.
>>559655093They've been doing this since the company was founded.Even Oni, which I personally think is their most lore light game. still has a decent amount of world building.
>>559655093I figured most bungie players are big lore heads who like reading weird esoteric shit
>>559655156Please believe me when I truly tell you with heartfelt confidence, "No."It is not a bad game but it was not ready for release. The solo mode is effectively tacked on and the game is completely built around playing in an organized 3 stack.You can play solo and have an okay time but you will not truly be able to progress past the first couple of maps.
Are DCONs really only for quest objectives? I should be able to offload shit.
>>559655156Yes, it's quite good
>>559655093it's even worse>have interesting lore>tie almost all of it to randomly spawned extractable items>make it so that they almost never ever drop normally>make it so they they only drop in significant numbers from world event bosses and trio content>make it so that solo players (the primary demographic that would be interested in the lore) literally can't unlock most of it
>>559655367Why not?Solo queue only queues up with other solos so it's not like you'll be fighting trios and we don't know just how hardcore Cyro Storage on the marathon is gonna be yet.The only thing is that ranking factions will take significantly longer since you're not getting crewmates completion bonuses.
>>559653592Same, I like the contracts and I wish solo wasn't such a shitshow so I could drop in alone and just play like it's sci-fi stalker, doing jobs and getting paid.
>>559655482>make it so they they only drop in significant numbers from world event bosses and trio contentme when I fuckin lie
>>559655093>>your core demographic is going to see story and CLICKCLICKI skip cutscenes, because they're dogshit. But I read lore explanations and mission descriptions.>Go destroy data that was set to sabotage NuCaloric operations>Data reaveals that NuCaloric is a monopoly and has multiple AI systems under control>NuCaloric has the answer why crops started dying>Nobody can force the answer out of them>You are destroying data that could be used against themPretty cool
>>559655514because the dude gets raped by AI and assumes you will too
>>559655321Does Oni exist in the confines of the Marathon canon?
>>559655482I also hate that they have lore tied to extraction with these rare items multiple times. It was cool to see at first but now I'm frustrated it's effectively locked behind RNG.
>>559655332The 10k Bungie fans left in the world, sure. Their target audience they need to court for their 400k concurrent megahit? Literal CoD retards.
Whats the counter to smoke grenade spam? Cause it's getting really tiring every single pvp fight there is a faggot using it
>>559655662Play Thief. Use Visor. It sees through smoke. Alternatively use thermal sights.
>>559654515i only managed to do it for a single raid before it was patched
>>559655514>>559655595>AI designed for trios becomes 3x as hard solo with no changesWho would have thought?
>Downed players can trigger the extract/escapeI thought you fags said this was hardcore? That's carebear as fuck
>>559655436DCON's were extremely clearly designed at one point to be a functional equivalent to the safe wallet from Tarkov, but mid mission. All the mission items require like 4 slots at max yet, curiously, the DCON inventory is capable of holding a single full weapon. There is also supposed to be a minor risk element attached ("oh no other players can open them and steal your loot if they get to them before it fires off") that literally makes zero sense when the only thing they usually will have put in them is worthless quest items or at most shit like 8 diodes or hunks of metal.I genuinely have no idea why they changed this at some point, since it would alleviate a significant number of problems in the game and especially with solos.
>>559655367Yeah I played solo during the server slam, and it felt like I was encouraged to just slink around and try to extract instead of engaging with the map. There's a good foundation but this game is missing some sort of hook.What you see is what you get.
how is the game when playing with randoms?
any Recon/Black Bird enjoyers?wish the cooldown for her main ability was lower though, it takes a brick and a half for it to be used again
>>559655662>Whats the counter to smoke grenade spam?Vandal's hand blast blows smoke away, Recon's drone jumps on people through smoke. EMP makes bodies glow in smoke(barely though)
>play 30 raids>extract 7 timesI got fleeced outta 40€ bros...
>>559655804It definitely feels like there is a huge amount of design choices to encourage PVP....and the PVP isn't even good. I still don't understand the glazing where people keep saying the PVP is great.
>>559655791They can call in extract? I figured they could only leave.>>559655804It would make sense if they changed them last minute, but they should revert the functionality if that's the case.
>>559655824mixed, but mostly okay.
>>559655579It's literally not a lie jackass. I've been playing a ton since the Server Slam. Across launch and that period, I've unlocked maybe 4 lore collectibles, and that's across dozens upon dozens of map crawls and successful exfils where I've combed locations from top to bottom.Do you know what dropped 3(!) lore collectibles in one single inventory? The trio only boss on Dire Marsh. Do you know what dropped 2 in one go? The Wraith in perimeter.
>>559655093thats literally every souls game and they are super popular especially the lore videos
>>559655972At least you get the kits and credits aren't hard to get, it's not as brutal as tarkov
>>559655972you never thought that you might be close to being okay and should keep learning?
>>559655093It's like forcing people to play only cruicible so they can unlock lore.
>>559655824>>559635387You are rolling the dice on awful ones or just okay ones.
>>559655156i play only solo and love it, you just need to be willing to play it tactically/steathily, every raid feels like an intense stealth mission basically >>559655367what im solo and on outpost, it plays great solo
>>559655763because people weren't meant to fuckin die so fast. since the last playtest before slam it had a higher ttkthats one thing about the low dogshit ttk is how solo is pretty much annoying as fuck
>>559655093Ngl I love sitting in the menus listening to the cool music and interacting with the UI reading codex entries. Games are a full experience.
>>559655936>Vandal's hand blast blows smoke awaythis is very good to know
>>559655589Mostly to do with Joy and her going rampit.You can get five codex related items that tend to drop in the Pinwheel itself in Outpost (they spawn outside the Pinwheel too but it's not as likely)>Each codex entry is voiced>Colonist Higher-Ups are getting concerned because Joy is taking care of all the normal people and realizing how fucked all the coperations are and what they're doing to the colonists>Joy and a bunch of the other AIs started killing all the higher ups by putting them on lockdown and saying they're hazards waste and burning them to death>Last entry 4/5 has someone pounding on a door screaming while the perspective is of an AI watching outside>Liquid Burgers are actually toxic waste and human waste mixed in with grinded down Tics>Can find most of the toilets on Perimeter with Flood-like appendages coming out of the toilets>One of the spawn points on Outpost has three pyramids in the distance/horizon like the pyramid from Pathways into DarknessCan't wait to go back to the Library from Halo CE which is a reference to the story of Pathways into Darkness but now we might be going back underground to nuke Tau Ceti to make the god go back to sleep like we did on Earth
>>559656141Thanks for the confirmation, now I know what to farm in Trios :^)
>>559655867>any Recon/Black Bird enjoyers?Recon 24/7, but not for the UAV.The spider drone is the best ability in the game, for ambushing 1V1.It makes it a 2V1 every time.
>>559655546i personally only play solo, i just play very slow and tactically, once you get the tempo of solo down its better than squads imo
>>559656186How is that average?>>559656162The kits are useless for me, i lose all gunfights.>sneak on a dude>start shooting>he turns around and kills meFeels like the game is designed for extreme sweats, i can have fun but not when im getting thrown into dumpsters almost every game.
>>559656354return the cat Nathon
>>559656384>averageyou mean most people dont/cant do this? yea, i know
these fucks are going to patch out putting c4 on thief's drone aren't they?
>>559656294>>Liquid Burgers are actually toxic waste and human waste mixed in with grinded down TicsWhen I heard liquid burgers, I imagined a Big Mac or cheeseburger in a tube. Why you do me like this SAAAAR
>>559655807Yes all fighting the AI in solos does is put a giant "Shoot me in the back" sign in the sky above you. Especially since many of the quests require PVP. Granted that works for teams too but at least then you have people watching your back and you can take out the AI fairly quickly.
>>559656485Anon, the exfil rate for solos during slam was about 40% on perimeter, i have ~24
minor vault tip/cope; you dont need more backpacks/shields/etc, than you have stacks of 3shield/3patches
>>559656384The game is unironically harder on PC when you don't have the aim-assist doing the work for you. Console don't really have to worry about flinch.
>Friend refuses to play cause of the 3 month forced wipesDoes Bungie know how hard this is cucking them?
>>559656440>return the catI took her out of a shelter, she hates other animals(gets agressive), so her original family "surrendered" her to the shelter.Now we are best friends, together as one. Cat hates animals, I hate people.
>>559656621i wasnt following you; are you playing solo? because solo is not normal. also do some rook if you havent. its great
They should've made the shells fully customizable instead of heroes. It's antithetical to the genre and makes every engagement predictable.
>>559656847They'll always use the excuse that it's for "Clarity". Give it a month and we'll have $30 specialty skins that completely change the profile of the characters.
>>559656753to be fair, max upgrades pretty much makes people always have an advantage of whoever the fucks going to start playing unless they are transparent on how their matchmaking is
>>559656753it would just be total aids for new players if that wasnt the case, full upgraded, full gold vault players just shitting on white shield players forever
Im having fun
>>559656773Yeah i played all games but one in solo.One i played had a french dude obviously on extreme amounts of weed getting downed left and right, and another dude being mute and playing solo.
>>559656996>>559657058should be at least 6 months like tarvoc and arc raiders has it be optional and seems to be doing fine
>>559657124That's because 80% of Arc Raiders players don't even use their guns lmao
so uh, whats this VIP rank 1 required thing in the skill tree?
Do you lose your charms & stickers if you die?
>>559657481No they're basically just an extra part of the skin and people can loot it and it will look the same if they keep it and never change it.
>>559657481no. the game has a pop-up that tells you this.
Game is full of tryhard sweats.I'm simply going to cheat once a decent one is available.
>>559657585That is one of Marathon's biggest mistakes.>Expecting people to read.
>>559657585I was drunk launch night
>>559657215There will be ranked/events later on that add those.Someone screenshot this because I am calling it now. They're going to add an event where you pick one of the corporations to sponsor you and you lock in with them for the bonuses. It will be a shit show as everyone picks a single faction because it has the best perk and breaks the event.
>>559658007...>>559645690...i was right
>>559657838understandable.please drink in moderation.
How is the controller/console aim assist in this? I remember this being borderline aimbot in destiny
>>559658007whats with this dude posting these multi-paragraph posts, no one is reading this shit lol
Why the fuck are people saying solo is "in the works" when I've been solo queuing all fucking day?
On the terminal things where it shocks you if you pick the wrong one, is it just one of them you need to get right or do you have to do them all in a correct order? Is there a way to tell which one it is without doing it over and over? Haven't managed to get one yet.
>>559658007the fudders are really out here writing full on LARP stories, please find something better to do with your time
>>559648618can't you only refund up to 2 hours of playtime? I put in 10 hours and im feeling filtered.
>>559658007>solo and duos as well are in the worksSolo already exists larper. Two different modes in fact.
>>559658007lmfao
>>559658269its crazy. theres even hidden aim assist attributes on every weapon
>>559658269It's an actual aimbot. If you're on PC just use a propah aimbot to even the playing field.

Marathon has a 96% paid user rank on Playstation store(can't give it a rank, unless you buy)Microsoft digital store(Console only) Marathon is number 9(Nine) out of top 50.
Be real with me guys, is this game going to survive a year? I really like it, if it doesn't I think I'm just done with multiplayer games
>>559658483>>deletedI missed it WHAT WAS IT
>>559658810Depends on what you mean survive?Keep this population level/attention? Highly fucking doubt it.Not put in EOS or mothballed? Seems likely it'll survive.
>>559658810no
>>559658916See >>559658627
>big weekend push somehow managed to lose another 5k playersholy moly 10k by the end of the month
>>559658806Highguard had 97k launch day peak numbers while this can't even break 90 on Steam. Sure Highguard was F2P, but it was dead within a month. You really believe Sony who spent probably a fucking eye watering amount of money don't have higher expectations? That anon was probably larping, but it wouldn't shock me if this game is cooked in the long run. They fucking nuked Concord and shut that whole studio down for that. I don't see how this can't play out all too differently.
>MIDA>we ARE the resistance, death to UESC, FIGHT!>missions are just being a pain in the dick vandal.made me giggle
>play for 3 hours straight>die everytimeYeah...This game has no future.
>>559659084Highguard opened at 97k, 2 days later it lost more than half and 3 days later it was at 10k.. Anyone making this comparison is a fucking moron who doesn't know what they're talking about
>>559659084Highguard was also F2P and had people launching just to leave negative reviews.
>>559659084Highguard cratered in 3 days lmao it didn't last a month
>>559658806These numbers are always skewed. If you look on Steam the "Very positive" rating is all people that have played for 0.3 hours at time of rating and many have admitted to putting a positive rating because they are "Scared of it being brigaded".I am sure the actual reviews are somewhere in the middle. There is no possible way the game is actually "Very positive" without being skewed.
>>559658687>Did you at least loot that guy before exfil?Most of the time I don't loot on exfil, I pop a heal and bunny hop. Donut stand still on exfuill for 5 seconds, some will delete you.
>the encrypted loadout gives you a blue backpackNeat.
>>559658007>handing D2 off to another studiothis is how I know you're larping
Bungie is a fascinating thing, and in my ignorant youth, I may have seen it as aspirational. Like Escharum. I see this force for what it truly is. GAAS is a trick of Bungie. An illusion! Nothing is forever. But these Marasissies entertain me. I will use their ignorance. Shower them with lavish rape, with DOOM. I will watch them dance into the grave of EOS for my amusement.
>>559659084>Highguard had 97k launch day peak numbersFake news - Unpaid numbers.No pay = numbers don't matter>B-but FortniteFortnite posts Paid micro trans(action) money.
They should add leaning, prone and make the TTK even faster, actually, while adjusting gun damage models to make sure that pistol cartridge weapons always do less damage per shot han rifle cartridge weapons.
>>559659404So true, my Opulent Emperor
>>559659481I'd rather they actually add armor or have shields be actually more advanced than rarity and higher number
>>559659195>>559659217and Marathon had 20k near the end of the FREE server slam lmao you retards, Bungie are absolutely shitting bricks over these numbers. If Concord was estimated to have cost 300mil+ I promise you this shit show was in the same ball park or even worse due to the delays.>>559659396Dead IP being sold isn't a shocking development, if Bungie does croak, I'd 100% expect either Destiny 1-2 are shut down or they're sold to another publisher.
>>559659481>They should add leaning, proneCareful what you wish for
>>559659578waow you mean the server slam limited time event had less players on the final day, at the beginning of the work week?
>>559659481Leaning would be sick, prone no. Did you know you can actually tuck under certain tables if they're tall enough and you're crouched?
>>559659679The Overwatch beta back in 2016 got nearly 9 million players for comparison's sake across all platforms. It's fucking cooked, but keep believing otherwise.
>>559659763Covid absolutely raped modern gaming anon
>>559659763Hey try larping about how the game doesn't have a solo mode again that was really funny.
>>559658806>Marathon is number 9(Nine) on xbox>stable 70k on PCIf that was some random ass devs dropping their random ass game, it would be a success.You can bet your ass that sony wanted at least 250k on steam and top spots on console charts. They didn't spend billions to get a decent-to-ok game.
>see vent access to outpost that lets people loot inside with little effort>some people were able to abuse it for 7 hours>do it once and it gets patchedwhyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>>559659679After everyone knew progress was getting reset, even!
>>559659954Sony wants a lot of shit apparently and they make absolutely retarded decisions constantly so they'll probably keep Marathon running forever
>word of mouth: spreading>population: stable>doomers: coping>burgers: drinkableSee you guys planetside.
>>559659954Sony also didn't buyout bungie just for marathon.They wanted the stacks Destiny was printing and to try and tap into Bungies, apparent, live service know how to make more cashcows.Not all their eggs are in this basket and being honest even if marathon was like GTA tier successful both short and long term it probably wouldn't satisfy just how much money bungie has cost in the long run.
>>559659084It's really funny how you guys keep mentioning a f2p game like it matters
>The boss (Sony) tells us we need to make a huge live service game to bring in consistent revenue.>Lets make a game focused on the most niche segment of a niche genre, surely that will have tons of players!They made the game to appeal to like 0.0003% of people and can't be surprised that is the audience they get.
>>559660086>population: stableits been losing players every day
Friendly reminder, Sony will shake Microsoft's Indian hand, and put Marathon on Xbox and PC Game PASS.Sony will put Marathon PsPlus (((free))) games.Because Sony won't butcher Bungie yet. PlayStation Six is coming and they want a Time Exclusive game with Bungie's logo. Bungie will be developing at least 1(One) more AAA game.
>>559660174Pretty much this.Casuals are all leaving.All that will remain are sweats not understanding why they arent winning >60% of encounters, blaming cheats and starting to cheat themselves.
>>559660174they aren't surprised, not sure why you keep saying that
>>559660086I'll be enjoying my schadenfreude from this general when the inevitable EOS tweet comes along and the devs are re-tweeting each other from the layoffs.
God forbid a game tries to do something interesting for a more niche, faithful audience as opposed to being just another pustule on the Mass Appeal Normie Tumor that is modern live service gaming.
>>559660251>Marathon on Xbox and PC Game PASthat's when i'll play it then
>casuals are leavingnigga it's been two days.The average normie needs at least a week for their cattlebrain to process they don't like the game.

>>559660408>watch marathon championship finals>24 minutes of ratting
>>559660324The amount of "people" complaining the game is riding trends while in the same breath complaining its too niche and ruthless for casuals is really funny.
>>559660368this. it took like a month for the arc raider normies to get over how fun it was being friendly and realize how retarded the stitcher ismight be sooner for marathon since theres no pve only distractions

>>559660324>as opposed to being just another pustule on the Mass Appeal Normie Tumor that is modern live service gaming.bro that's what this fucking game is lmaoits a GaaS slop shit with microtransactions up the ass, single-use cosmetics, a seasonal pass that's worse than even destiny's old one and requires online connectivity
>>559660238It's okay, anon. They patted the servers twice and said, "This player count isn't going nowhere."
>>559660368My friend lasted 5 hours and just went "I'm over it" and went right back to playing Helldivers 2 and CS2. Extraction shooters will never be for normies I don't think.
>>559660497>>watch marathon championship finals>>24 minutes of rattingThey learned the META from /mg/ webms.
>>559660512its even more ruthless than every extraction shooter out there with the amount of balance issues going on with itthe low ttk just amplifies the issues to be very obvious and glaring
>>559660065Sony is retarded so we don't know how they will react to Marathon not being a smash hit. Ideally they would let bungie cook on a hope that eventually they would struck gold.>>559660098They did not, but bungie managed to kill destiny dead. that bitch has less players than niche fighting game, and as far as their GaaS knowledge goes, sony axed pretty much every game in development after concord debacle. At this point all their eggs are in Marathon bucket.I just hope they let game grow long term and not try to squeeze it dry before throwing it out.
>>559660556>GaaS slopCan't be helped in this modern landscape, at least they're trying to be less egregious by not making their battlepasses fomo.>Hero shooter slopDebatable, I barely see people utilizing their toolkit or doing any kind of movement like in other games.>Extraction slopA hyper-niche genre compared to contemporary shooters like Bf6.>Typical FPS slop gunplayPointless statement, it's like complaining an RPG has stats.
my problem with the game, I did a solo run exfil and its just boring at times. I never came across another player
>>559660661Cosmetics that don’t affect gameplay at all aren’t a problem, the game is plenty unique and cool you’re just a soulless boring fag that can’t appreciate good art. There’s nothing like this on the market, you can keep being salty about it being an extraction shooter all you want though
>>559660801>>559660814
>>559660681ITS GRIM.
>>559660661>single-use cosmeticsWhat where, the stickers? I agree they shouldn't have a hard limit, I wanna put worms all over my guns.
It's possible cryo archive is two weeks later because bungie plan on charging 4,99 to access it as a small dlc.
>>559660905Cute but they said it was free already.
>>559660801Some lobbies you never see another player and others it is like every single person is pushing you over and over. In solos it can be exceptionally boring because you know someone is sitting like a rat nearby when you're just trying to get your quest done but there's more players roaming the map so it's more likely you'll find one. Trios can be boring because it could be no other team approaches your POI leaving it just fighting AI.
>>559655093I like marrying sweaty pvp and cool lore desu
>>559661042Couldn't imagine playing Trios and not bloodthirsting across the map.
>>559660324>Mass Appeal Normie TumorThese niggas tried to mass appeal to peanut and blatantly pretended their game was friendly like chungo raiders in his shill streams before release. They just failed because their game sucks and now you're running defense for bungie by saying>THEY NEVER WANTED THEM ANYWAYSOh my lord.
>>559660880Yes currently you can only use your sticker/charm once to one specific gun.
>>559660956Maybe you can buy marathon key cards for access?
>>559660324God forbid a goopa get a little motion
>>559660756>utilizing their toolkitTriage and Thief are absolutely fucking cracked ability wise
>perimeter solo, spawn at one of the relays>within a single minute get into a battle with another player, down and kill them>immediately get killed while weakened by a third playerthey need to unironically halve the playercount solo, or at the very least rework the spawns because this is absurd. there is zero reason for 3-4 people to spawn on a single POI (no, it was literally impossible for someone to have ran from another one to it). in some cases I've died or killed people less than a minute into a match because of how fucked up the spawns are.
>>559660814>there's nothing on the market like itTarkov? Arc Raiders? A bunch of other F2P Extraction shooters that are as shit as Marathon is? The Hunt? There's also a lot more extraction shooters coming out in the next few months that aren't made by large studios. I can appreciate good art and shit but even as a diehard "I will ignore the lacklustre gameplay for the art and stuff surrounding the game", Marathon is still a GaaS fuck-fest that has a bunch of cancerous industry standards that are worn out and boring at this point. Its ANOTHER live service video game. Whoopde-fucking do. Sorry if I'm not excited. Mirror's Edge isn't one. WipEout wasn't a live service. Both had similar aspects of art styles to this game (well, they were "influences" apparently). They're not the height of the best gamplay ever. They're still games I'd rather play over this, and Mirror's Edge is a niche as fuck game and WipEout as a franchise is dead and has only been popular in the UK post 3.It could be whatever it wanted to be. I don't care, but when I see a game come out from a company which I know has been a bunch of trend chasing faggots who hopped on a bunch of wagons to get more money? That's what this is.>>559660756>Can't be helped in this modern landscape, at least they're trying to be less egregious by not making their battlepasses fomo.Why even have a battlepassWhy even make this game GaaS Slop in the first placeYou're saying that Bungie were "forced" to make it this way. Okay. How is it my problem?
>>559661106Peanut won't even play it on Stream. You have some saying it's because the hate train..Personally, I think it's because the game is exceptionally boring to watch and since there's no real player interaction he can't make great content off of it. I also think they paid big streamers like Shroud and him to play as part of the marketing.
>Game is literally unplayable till they add duo'sSee you guys later I guess, sick of losing cause of dead weight retard randoms
>bungie asks all reviewers to delay their review for a month so everyone can get to the end game>everyone confused>bungie drops the new endgame content update as a $14.99 DLC imagine
>>559658810No. Anthem sold 2 million copies, verified, and they shut it down. You think all this bad PR is going to encourage shareholders to let the game live? It's bad enough the faggots who play this game think they can complain about MTX prices as if this game is free to sustain.
I saw someone on reddit say that solo queue has reduced loot spawns on the map, is this true?
>>559661286Yeah getting to this point as well, me and my friend are forced into constant 2v3s cause they give us some free kit retard who literally just does nothing and is incapable of reacting to anything going on around them, not sure why it didn't ship with duo's, its a pretty basic thing.
>>559661316I think the whole>WAIT WAIT WAIT we have so much to release at the end of the month!Is a ploy just to prevent the game from being completely DoA. Imagine if every single review wasn't great. Multiple reviewers said they are waiting until after CES and/or the end of the month update.
>>559661283>there's no real player interactionThis anon has not played on outpost
>>559661283Yeah he streamed it today with #ad, and immediately stopped once it was overI'm with you, he likely knows it is very boring to watch, he tries talking to the enemy team and his prox chat doesn't work, and when it does work nobody talkhops on arc raiders and immediately everyone is laughing and having a good time with the enemy team because they got outplayed and need a revive, besides he ended up putting the chat in sub only mode, so at that point if his chat was still a problem, its the people subscribed and paying him monthly
>>559661348>ou think all this bad PR is going to encourage shareholders to let the game live? Wait do you retards actually think you're going to kill the game by shitposting? That's...actually really funny, lmfao, holy shit
>Couldn't beat Arc Raiders despite Arc Fatigue and no real content update in months>Couldn't beat Arc Raiders despite no other big game coming out in its release window and paying every streamer to shill their game to tens of millions of viewers>Somehow managed to keep losing players on opening weekend every day since release>3 maps, all very samey>loot runs all the same because no real community interaction, just KoS bots with no mics>fourth map gatekept by hard requirements and wont be seen by the majority of the communityshits cooked im afraid 25k players by end of month

>>559661547Arc raiders is slowly pivoting to very hard pve.
>>559661692>Why would I need to do anything for a dead game to die?yet you're dedicating hours of your life to posting the same drivel over and over, curious
I will use the free kitI will hoover up your killsI will extract with your rightful loot.
LOL
>>559661486I am not just talking about PVP. He built his whole audience on joking with and against players thay aren't just his squad. That doesn't happen in this game.
>can't complete contracts unless you have them selected even if you already have that one open >can't get lore item unlocks if a teammate extracts with one and you don'tbaffling game design.
I'm seeing a lot of art for this game on X (formerly twitter)
>>559644648what's the obsession with shooters and having trios? it should always be solos and duos; with duos you won't have a dead weight, you'll have better coordination and it would help with the loot distribution, and with solo it would make fights better since you only have to worry about 2 people, get this trio garbage out of here.
>>559661812>One of the best games of all time is more popular than a just ok extraction shooter from a dying studioaint no fuggen way
>Bro Arc Raiders is opened up the people's eyes on extraction shooters.>They're gonna want something with a little more grit and hardcore pvp in it.>Bro the vibes have shifted.>Trust me bro.>200k peak EZ.>Nobody likes the game? We don't want them anyways. Never did.KWAB
>>559661864It does though? Players say it happens. In places.
>>559660801It's good for the gameplay loop IMO because of varying stress levels, with chill matches on one end of the spectrum and hellfire on other.On Bungie's side it's a hard problem to solve because more players on the map = more third parties.
>>559661486>player interaction>shooting 4 colored lights or finding random keys across the mapwaow
>>559661953>In placesYeah in your fucking imagination.
>>559661912Solo makes only really one sort of class optimal, and duo only makes you want to pick classes that directly benefit each other. Three hits the sweet point where you can have enough freedom to matter.
>People are just sitting on roof tops camping with one shot snipers nowI think I'm gonna play something else, good job sweats you're gonna actually kill this game
>>559661912So much this! I don't mind trios but it's frustrating that seemingly every single PVP game anymore is built around having a full squad of 3 players with solo/duo being a tacked on experience.
>>559660875>ITS GRIM.29% lol
is marathon going to get big collabs like re9?
>>559661657Nah, his Q is good for taking out commanders. V is good for any fights.As a solo he is very economical, since you got the drone.
25% finished 21 runs.
>>559662161You are 100% going to get Vandal in Fortnite.
Can you forgive me for sitting in a corner for the first 15 minutes of a match to wait for everyone to die/exfil before I play?
>>559662242>>559662114It's actually over.
the stash is just too damn fucking small to save some cool stuff to try builds. implants, cores, guns, some backpacks and ur full
>>559662290Marathon on Xbox and PC game pass soon.Also "free" with Playstation plus. Still not EOS.
>>559662280>Sit in corner for 15 minutes and wait until everyone is dead/extracts.>There's still someone camping quest objective.>There's still someone camping the exit.
>>559660875>>559662114if you go to basically game ever created you get even lower numbers than this for completing the first level
>>559660875The experience death award has a 93% success rate. Does that mean 7% of players have never EVER died?
>>559661280>Tarkov? Arc Raiders?Are you retarded?
>>559662418Never happened to me
>>559662114do you still play arc raiders?
>>559662480Nice, you really got me there
>>559662486It has happened with me consistently unfortunately.
*~# HEAT CASCADE #~*
Arc Raiders is a fun game but it's the second most least extraction extraction shooter in the genre, losing to Hunt Showdown.
>>559662427>if you go to basically game ever created you get even lower numbers than this for completing the first levelArc has a much higher percentage(36) for 100 matches.>>559662490>do you still play arc raiders?No.
>anons told me the AI was impossible to deal with solo>V11 Punch just rapes even commanders with no effort???????
The Security Officer lost this war years ago. Your shells are broken. Scattered. Hunted! DEFEATED. By me. I wish I could tell you it was difficult... but it wasn't.
I do find it a little funny that everyone was freaking out about the skin prices "Recolours for 1/2 the price of the game!" and now that they've lowered them there's no complaints when the skins are still recolours for 1/3rd of the price of the game.It's like everyone fell for the blatant marketing move of putting the prices high to begin with to make it look good when they "lower" them.
Do you have a gentleman code?I only kill players if they're in my way, and if I kill someone at extract I'll let them leave (unless they were camping the exfil).
>>559662535Why is GaaS ok when it's an MMO? Not to mention, I find this much more interesting than wandering around an open world for 100 + hours. Here's the reality, there's not as many extraction shooters as you say there are and even at that rate Marathon has it's own thing going for it. I skipped Arc Raiders completely and I haven't played Tarkov for like 3 years, must I play Hunt before this too? I mean you're not making much of a hardened argument you're just kinda whining and saying you don't like it, which is fine I guess.
>>559662771they did fall for that marketing move, anyone who complains isnt on reddit making a heavily upvoted thread
>>559662785>Do you have a gentleman code?Friend to no one. Predator to all.I camp every extract.
>>559662801>Marathon has it's own thing going for it.What thing? It's an extraction shooter. You swear Bungie is somehow reinventing the wheel for slow Apex gunplay and slapping an extraction mode on top of it.
>>559662704its been out for like 4 months more and it is much more successful, your point? im talking games on average, a lot of people buy and bounce of most games
>>559662785I try not to kill any Rooks while Rookin' it and most of them time, like 70% of the time other Rooks are chill as well. Some Rooks are real fucking bloodthirsters though.
>>559662785Ive had a few solo games where we spotted one another and just decided not to shoot each other.
>>559662927I will find you and attempt to take you down in a reasonably assertive fashion.
>>559663054This is why you're retarded, you're just like >oh hey you can shoot! you can extract! it's just like all the othersMeanwhile ignoring the entire rest of the games appeal
>spawn in w/ 2 assassin freekits>walk 30 seconds out of spawn>one is SHOOTS a tick nest and gets jumped by a squad that spawned beside us??>i wipe their squad>2nd squad jumps methis is all within... ~2 minutes, this wasnt drawn outdire marsh spawns, man
>>559662927The Predator does have standards, thoughbeit. They only kill worthy prey.
>>559663056>its been out for like 4 monthsIt's a much easier game, with strict SBMM for noobs.That's why the percentage is higher.
>>559662056The only game that seems to have sweats that exist to ruin other peoples fun is rust. Every other game is killed off by them or segregates them away.
>>559663054I genuinely think it's funny that you are just incapable of understanding someone enjoying a game, despite it mostly just cribbing from other games in the genre, because it does it in a way that feels good to play.
>>559662927>Predator to all.Not the children!
>>559663162I played a round of arc yesterday and the little drone guys were beating the shit out of me and another player came and shot them all for me. It's a very different experience to marathon.
>>559662785Only friendly if there's no chance of backstabbing. I'll help people at guarded exfils if they get downed, if there's a door/bullet proof glass I'll make myself known and then fuck off. Elsewise kill on sight.
>>559663313By rights that makes you his boy-wife back in Speranza.
>>559663054You have to understand this is some normalfags first extraction shooterand to be fair to bungie, its a AAA one and pretty well put together for what it is, if you ignore how its a completely flawed game anywaybut if you never played tarkov, or played it a long time ago, or just never played extraction shooter to compare this to anything, then it genuinely does have its own thing going for it, especially with the whole aesthetics and feel, they did a good job at least nailing the alien but still human feel of everyhting, game still sucks though
>>559663169Yes that is the entire reason why SBMM exists in its current form. Cheaters and 'sweats' only have fun when others don't. I hyphened sweats because there is a difference between being competitive and ranking up in a game like CS2 and 'sweats' that cry about SBMM because they're not breaking 40-3 in a game like CoD.
holy fuck algae pongs always has like 4-5 people there at all times i just need my fucking crafting mats fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>559663401I played Tarkov, then played STALKER Gamma, then kinda grew disgusted with the slavsim milslop aesthetic so that's why I like Marathon nowI do admit I'm kinda dissapointed that while guns have customization, shields and shell cores/implants are literally just individual items
>>559663134May as well call Arc unique if we're going off vibes and feels then despite it not really bringing in anything new.Actually Arc does bring in something new to the genre, carebear lobbies which can be said has never been done before in this genre. Marathon? Nothing nobody hasn't seen before. Yet you praise the shit Bungie trawls out for you.
>>559663401it's also the only extraction shooter that has like high quality/modern shooting
>>559663151>worthy preyThose who desire to live, and are brave enough to call in extract, are always worthy. >>559663115>I will find youMeatheads who search for death, don't matter.
>>559663584Hey Hunt has some pretty fucking good shooting, or at least had, stopped playing after the 1896 shit.
>>559663584The CoD/BF extraction shooters had fairly high quality shooting in my opinion. The issue is that they completely missed the gameplay hook to keep wanting to extract.
An actual bit of criticism, I don’t think the contract stories are interesting outside of Mida and Nucaloric. The rest are archetypes based around shooter archetypes (the kill em all clan) or the games world, but not the immediate Marathon Tau Ceti story.
>>559663573except the entire theme, artstyle, aesthetic, lore and everything else. But yeah all shooty games the same xd
Im sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you use Destroyers special? I activate it and then nothing happens other than a readout HUD showing up. Yes I am bad at this game. Yes I play Triage and hide.
>>559663650All your loot cannot buy class.
>>559663732I think the other factions are gonna get more focus in later seasons desu, hard agree that NuCal/Traxus/MIDA are the main narrative throughline.
>>559663753>xcept the entire theme, artstyle, aesthetic, lore and everything else.>May as well call Arc unique if we're going off vibes and feels then despite it not really bringing in anything new.So all you can hark back to is>muh vibes and art style
>>559663708I thought those were battle royales like fornite?
>>559663650I'd uninstall, he just wanted to exfil
>>559662801>Why is GaaS ok when it's an MMO?I don't know. In their modern context? I could only gesture as to MMOs back in the early/mid 2000s having the allure of playing with a shit ton of people unlike most other genres, you had a cultural/technological argument to it. Doesn't really exist nowadays.I've played Tarkov, Marathon (was in playtests and server slam) and I've played Arc Raiders. People splitting hairs between these games in the genre apart from making generalised assumptions about "how you play the game" rather than how they're built and designed from the ground upwards are playing tribalism for a genre that is ultimately not as niche as people say it is, and the fact Arc Raiders is doing the numbers it does, and the fact that Marathon is even doing the numbers its doing right now as a Bungie shooter is proof that the "extraction shooter is SO niche" thought-process is dumb and retarded.The genre doesn't matter. The way the game is designed is. And the game is tied around the same shit that's cookie-cutter for this industry at the moment. Boring battlepasses full of trinkets and shit that no one wants, non-refundable or earnable currency for steaks, seasonal release schedules and roadmaps and launching with day one patch bullshit up the ass with twitch sponsors, discord quests and tie-ins and a load of other crap.
>>559663775You have to shoot stuff for it to active, every X amount of shots you'll fire off a few micro-missiles. It's a standout in PvE but a bit more situational in PvP, you can kill yourself with splash if you're too close to a wall. His thrusters are the real PvP standout since you can boost dash around corners/into people and fuck with them. Pairs well with the double barrel.
>>559663775you got to shoot fuckers a few times before you shoot rocketsi only really use it to kill uesc fast
>>559663732That's mostly because everyone, including the corps, are just setting foot on Tau Ceti now.No one has anything to say about Tau Ceti because no one really knows what the hell happened yet.UESC is the only faction with any information and they are not sharing.
>>559663827They've made both BR's and extraction shooter modes with every release.
>peanut playing Apex againMaraxeros...
>>559663814>noooooo you're not allowed to like those things!!!! it's not apart of the hecking game cause i said so
>>559663732>An actual bit of criticism, I don’t think the contract stories are interesting outside of Mida and Nucaloric. The rest are archetypes based around shooter archetypes (the kill em all clan)Yes, and there's a bright side. The lore isn't too bloated or fucked up.>Super AI Dandan what's his name, wants to become God, he thinks the universe can collapse>Super AI finds Jarro Alien technology>Does something with it>Planet starts mutating>Crops changing, people dying>Invasion happens>Super AI disappears, and an unexplained Anomaly Barrier pops up>Now everyone wants to control the Barrier, they think it is the key to becoming God, escaping death. >You are a slave, endlessly dying with new body shells. If you get powerful enough and tap into the power of the Barrier, you may escape this, and become God(same as the Super AI).
>>559663992I can see it. You want the style of shooting and gameplay mechanics without all of the added crap on top from Marathon.
>>559664041So like STALKER and the Wish-Granter? I hope we get an equivalent to Monolith then
>>559663778>All your loot cannot buy class.I am a spiteful subhuman, in a shell, equipped with combat tools. I do not care for class, I want to kill (You).
>>559664034>its like nothing else in the market>bro there are dozens of extraction slops out there>no but you see this one uses 12 different fonts in its ui so its the bestestoooooooooooooooooooooooook
>>559662669I like that Arc is a better balance of pve and pvp. Since Arc was made as a pve game originally the pve enemys are actually fun to fight.I thought Marathon coming from Bungie would mean the pve would be good but the pve enemys suck, balanced around 3 mans mag dumping into them, shoot hitscan weapons and the games like 90% pvp anyway.
>>559664096We are Monolith
>>559663814>muh vibes and art styleYou mean the exact things that help set a game apart? I don't even know what you're trying to argue about, this isn't even a graphicsfag things but having a cohesive visual aesthetic is what helps games stand apart.
I mainly like Marathon because it doesn't fall into the two aesthetics of shooters that I absolutely despise where everyone either looks like a fucking Fortnite crossover mess with no coherent artstyle or they just look like a hobo that shops near exclusively at the surplus store
>>559664137>i'm subhuman thirsty for kilsmy knees are kneeling
>>559664167>I thought Marathon coming from Bungie would mean the pve would be good but the pve enemys suck, balanced around 3 mans mag dumping into them, shoot hitscan weapons and the games like 90% pvp anyway.
>>559664139Exactly, I didn't shell out for the other ones because they didn't interest me, despite Arc Raiders massive success I didn't feel like there was anything too alluring about it. Marathon has an interesting theme and world going on, that's part of the package, it's part of the experience. Crazy concept I know!
>>559664227SEX IS MELTING NOOOOO!
>>559663561rook (or trios)... solo is rolling the dice
>>559664227MilSim Tacticool LARPing can be fun but it's nice to have a different aesthetic on the market.
>>559663732This is something I immediately knew was going to be a problem, they literally had nothing actually relevant for the lore or impact on the players. It's fine if they want to start running in season 2 but there SHOULD be something at the very least to get interested in.Its classic Bungie story-telling where at the moment the lore is doing so much heavy-lifting because fuck-all is currently happening. It's not like they didn't have a jump-off point to establish what Durandal actually is at this point (is he still combined like in Infinity) or to at least give allusions to Leela being around somewhere. All we have right now is that there's a compiler, at some point there are aliens coming in the next season (this is because bungie keeps everything an open secret) but there's quite literally no build-up towards that in the game currently.
So I'm a Marathon oldhead who's been playing the originals since 2012 and the only extraction shooter I've been exposed to is MW3 zombies, should I pay the $40 and play this game if I only got a 1060?
>>559663561If you need poop just go to Overflow dog, Algae Ponds is basically a micro-PvP zone.
>>559664528No. Watch lore videos on youtube and the streamers when they do lore raids on Marathon.
>>5596645281060 is fine
>>559664528I get like 40+ fps on my 1070.Also probably not.
>>559664528The game is very well optimized. you'll be able to run it.
>>559664528Eh... maybe, might wanna see how other people's performance is on 1060s.
>>559662785>if I kill someone at extract I'll let them leave (unless they were camping the exfil).>>559663853>he just wanted to exfilFellow humans, when you let people exfil, you're letting them gather resources to kill you with, in the next match.If you don't deny them resources, they'll get strong. And show no mercy.Stop being a pussy.
>>559664528The games lore is only told to you in stuff like text logs and video calls but you need to be good at the game to get them because they're rewards for beating missions and doing achievements.
i like that knife is actually cracked in this
evil ass rape room
>>559664612>The game is very well optimizedActually laughed out loud
>>559664528>the only extraction shooter I've been exposed to is MW3 zombiesYou will be getting raped by players who are hiding. They won't let you kill robots(zombies) in peace.
>>559664528theres an ARG going on right now to unlock the marathon ship
>>559664704every gun is cracked, even the knifethe games a mess
Explain to me why theres no way to remove mods from guns outside of equipping them and then holding the F key to remove them there if the whole idea is the mods make the gun and maybe I juat want to strip a gun of its mods and toss the gun itself. Instead I have to drop my current gun on the floor.
>>559662669it's obvious people want a "PvE extraction shooter"Extraction shooter mechanics are fun, when you boil it down>you load in with whatever loadout you want>do some quests, kill some shit, loot and explore, maybe do a "puzzle">if you die you lose your loadout>but if you extract its more stuff for your stash>so theres still risk and permanent reward>and then you can bring that stuff next timemaybe it just doesn't work as a pure PvE genre and thats why arc raiders hit so well, its not just you and 2-3 other guys exploring the map on your ownyou're sometimes running into other players, and it makes the loot and enemies you may be hunting into a scarce resource, as opposed to monster hunter where its just>yea obviously you do this map>kill the monster>and leaveArc Raiders seems to add some variability to thatbut people do seem to want a "PvE extraction shooter", or at least one thats more PvE focused and has similar mechanics just not so focused on the PvP part, hers a review from Forever Winter
more of the terminal logs should be VA'd
>>559664704>boost dashing into someone with the knife and stabbing them in the head like Trunks killing Cyborg-Frieza
>>559664913This is starting to feel like it's just an evolution of the mmopvp genre.
>>559664827the lmgs and assault rifles kinda suck
>>559664913isnt that basically just destiny
>>559662785i am a good boy, but i will kill other rooks if they don't see me before i knife them
>>559664913I think people just want a balance of pvp and pve, arc raiders is the only one that tried to balance both ends. tarkov and marathon are mostly just pvp, hunt showdown is mostly just pve, helldivers which was a giga hit is basically just a pve only extraction shooter.
Player interaction in extraction shooters is fundamentally driven by the prisoners dillema and pve removes that game element and turns it into another boring co-op shooter
>>559665051Kind of, I don't really know how to put my finger on it nor do other gamers hence why people cant articulate their feelings about marathon or arc raiders
>>559665225When the most dangerous thing in the prison are the other prisoners, we simply need to make the guards rapier
I played a 4 hours session and i didnt even exfil once. Its already over i'm getting matched against good playere while im below average.I saved money for months to buy a new mouse and this game and now i regret it, it could have been spent on meat or food that isnt shitty bread and PB.Fuck me i feel like crying.
Traxus objectives are awful and nonsensical. It’s purposefully designed to be annoying and nothing else.
>>559665181Not related exactly but hd2 has incredible presentation. When anons say marathon looks like a ps2 game sometimes they aren't exactly wrong.
>>559662785I don’t use shotguns because they’re bullshit unfair weapons. Any I find I either take so I can sell them or hide so people cant find them.
>run towards gunshots >hear someone reload in the bushes>hear them pop stealth>pop thief visor>grapple>shoot the void dead midair with a free kit>get all this lootthat felt so cool holy shit, now will i make it out?
Rook is so fucking hard bros. Every fight is a 1v3, everyone wants to kill you immediately even if you’re only there for the leftovers, your blend in ability only lasts for a few seconds and doesn’t work if you sprint.
Is this how im supposed to see people's POV after death? Whats that shit on the left side.
>>559665356>When anons say marathon looks like a ps2 game sometimes they aren't exactly wrong.except they are? the game looks fantastic and is well optimized too
>>559665225>>559665258personally i think that's why arc raiders does a good job, there is that PvP aspect to it, but it is PvE focused, with the recent update even adding more robots to make you want to work togethersure theres still PvP but its not the focus because it is dangerous for everyone involved, killing someone sends up a red flare the whole mape can see until you fully diemarathon the PvP is too quick, and there are no incentives to work together, in fact they designed the game to incentivize killing each other over contracts and lootthe next big "extraction shooter" will still have PvP, but it's going to heavily incentivize PvE like arc raiders does
>>559665225It's not the prisoners dilemma because cooperation is NOT always beneficial.You are competing with other players. We all want what spawns and there isn't enough to go around.If maps spawned with enough purples, keys and golds to satisfy everyone then you might have a point but as it stands there is a scarcity and the best way to succeed to ensure that others fail.This is a core pillar of the entire extraction shooter genre.
>>559665386I'd be happy playing just rook but you can't make progress when you play rook to make your rook stronger.
>>559665328Yeah man, anyone could’ve told you that would happen.>casuals get bored and leave the game>core playerbase is inherently sweaty and good at the gameAs the casuals get more and more filtered, you’re going to run into better players with better loot.
>>559665305>>559665225It genuinely sucks that the AI is so basic and retarded. They are oppressive and can kill the player relatively fast but they don't actually seek them, they see you and stop chasing as soon as you disappear from their sight. If they want more larp moments the AI should actually seek out players and run patrols around the maps to be a genuine threat for even the most sweaty players to truly let the emergent gameplay actually unfold,
>>559665413Helmet/head cam. That's the side of their head.
>>559665454Don't forget some of the contracts are only doable by one team
>>559665386You're supposed to play Rook as a Vietcong and ambush them when they're distracted/separated while looting.
how come when i group queue my squad gets spread out, jumped and die, but the other team is moving like special forces? like 5 games in a row now
>>559665565because they're all friends on discord
>>559665328It’s just the nature of the game anon, don’t get upset. You have to remember that some of the people youre going up against likely are high level players from other games that are also on voice comms and likely have better gear than you sometimes. If you want advice for improving, I’d genuinely recommend just doing some rook and sponsor kit runs and focusing entirely on fighting just so you can practice dealing with other players. When you go in with the mindset you’re gonna die, not exfilling doesnt matter, and every kill or down or outplay helps build familiarity and comfort for when you decide to do proper runs
>>559665565How do you know they weren't bumbling retards who just lucked into killing your bumbling retards?
>>559665565this is why i play solo
>>559665328>>559665527every day the game will get harder, it is not getting new players
>>559665420Anon look at this. >>559665413>>559663650This isn't a micheal bay movie here.>>559665454The problem marathon has is there isn't any reason to work with people. We can only hope cryo archive fixes that but it's not even complex. If they had something as complex as a door that requires two solos to press a button at the same time players would have to work together. although ideally there needs to be pve bosses that need the extra hands or puzzles that are complex enough to just slow people down.
>>559665565play with anons. drop a tag.
>>559665531>they see you and stop chasing as soon as you disappear from their sighHonestly if it wasn't like that it would be too hard ngl
Claymore might be the funniest gear in the game.>get into fight in building>nearly dead>run into a corner and close door behind me>drop claymore and corner camp>everybody, without fail, rushes through the door they saw me go to>onetapped by the claymore+knifeI'm gonna be really sad if they patch out the drone shit, too.
the game has a lot of stuff that makes it sweaty and punishing like very low ttk and no safe pocket, but why does this game have self revives or reviving people after they're supposed to be fully dead? it seems like a really retarded decision, thats the kind of shit you'd only see in a hero shooter.
TRVKE NVKE
>>559665181>hunt showdown is mostly just pveHunt Showdown is a glorified battle royale with a boss at the end. In no shape or form is it PVE.
>>559665750this was originally a hero shooterhence the shells acting like heros and their powers being more useful against the AI then players
>>559665725that's what it needs to be for players to actually consider cooperating, if you kill the player then the AI kills you, so you might wanna help kill the AI so you can actually start looting shit, there's where the emergent shit actually starts to appear, you make a shaky truce with the other players and kino emerges.
>>559665750They can't decide if they want to make a battle royale or an extraction shooter. I don't know though, I like the balance they've found. Low TTK and frequent PvP engagements make it feel high stakes while not being so punishing that you can't recover from a single down after an engagement, which would heavily discourage PvP.
>>559665703>The problem marathonThis isn't a problem it's a matter of personal preference.Wouldn't be opposed to some of the maps encouraging a more cooperative or at least live and let live attitude in order to navigate and loot. cos that would be a novel mix-up and kinda cool, but the game currently heavily encouraging fighting and killing other teams is not a issue to be fixed, it's a "feature".
>>559665531Enemys need to be like enemys in arc and have a searching / caution and a hostile phase. Marathons enemys are all just on sight going straight to you blasting.
>>559665750The weirder thing about self revive is that a lot of the UESC will either outright finish you or tentacle rape you, preventing you from really using it
I was thinking of getting the game but i've heard it's tuned for trios and that solos is balllcrushingly difficult, I have no interest in squads and I know "play it and see" is the simple answer but i'd like to know if singles is as brutal as some are saying before I try to dive in.
>>559665750They should split the difference and make DCONs accessible to non-mission loot so I can go and dump high value shit in there.
No one ever expects the Destroyer skills. People panic fire when you dash to them with the shields, and they always focus fire on you, regardless of who’s pushing with you.
>>559665965They actually do have a searching phase if you break line of sight and hide in a place that they can path to but idk if it's bugged cause it doesn't always happen. I think they can also hear doors open as well if they are close enough.
>>559665965They do have that. That's what the yellow face light means.White = Not alerted and patrollingYellow = Alert and searchingRed = Actively hostile.
>>559666000I only play destroyer but I think I've used my Q one time. But you can dash while holding the shield? Honestly I rarely use that too, I just am shooting for the most part.
>>559665934>not a issue to be fixed, it's a "feature".If the goals is to keep the steam charts going below 50k, it certainly is a problem.>>559665827Marathon never felt emergent to me. Quick, tense, and decisive though. It felt all of those.
>>559662669If by least you mean removing elements of a battle royale. Marathon is battle royale first and extraction shooter last. None of it's PVP has anything to do with extracting and everything to do with searching for people to fight,.
>>559665979>I was thinking of getting the game but i've heard it's tuned for trios and that solos is balllcrushingly difficultsee >>559664306This game is designed around playing in trios. Rook would let you play solo to avoid the enemys but you would still be playing against trios and you can't do faction missions as Rook to make your Rook stronger.
>>559665775fuel
>>559665979Singles is hard, but it's balanced by you not having to take 2v3's because one of your random trio teammates cracked their skull as a child. It's slower paced and ratty, though, since you're going to be sneaking around to hear other people and deciding whether you want to engage in fights or not. If you're not doing that, chances are you'll get dropped from god knows where and lose all of your shit. I've had some solid 3-4 kill solo games, but I do find myself fumbling good runs more often because every fight can and will end your run if you make an error, as opposed to trios where you have a chance of recovery even in bad engagements.
Every solo run I've died in is because I got too greedy.
Every solo run I've died in is because I got too many chromosomes
Whats the best song?
>>559652072M77 rips people to shreds.
>>559663992>>559664060I went back to Apex too. The gunplay feels about the same and although Marathon’s visuals are leagues better, it’s so much fucking harder than Apex and losing feels absolutely horrible because it’s actively taking away from your vault or credits.
>>559666802Gear fear is a literal psyop.
>>559666802I love marathons art but I detest being somebody elses fun.
>>559666835>being somebody elses fun.This is literally every competitive game ever.Or do you have a unbroken 100% win rate or something?
>>559666978Yes.
>>559662785Fuck no. Hell, if one of my team mates is being a bitchy little faggot and whining that I’m not licking his heels constantly while he rushes and pushes everything without warning or communication like a retarded pitbull, then I let them die and walk away and laugh at the while the rage on mic.
>>559666835what a loser
>>559666802(Me)I think a big part of it too is sadly seeing the post mission report and watching all the shit you lost, knowing other people benefited off you. In Apex, I’m ready to load into another game immediately. I didn’t lose anything but my time, I don’t give a shit about that match, I’m ready to go again. In Marathon, you have to equip everything after a loss, knowing you’ll probably lose what little you have again and again.
>>559666978>This is literally every competitive game ever.Not every game is a stomp, especially in skill based matchmaking, so no. Most competitive games are players near equal in skill having a long drawn out match.
>void is instaloss against thief because he can't see through smoke but thief visor canisn't this retarded?
>>559667032Just want you to know I'm kneeling.
Are Destroyer missiles homing or are they dumbfire?
>>559664041lolYou don’t know Marathon lore
>>559667207Homing. That's why you gotta shoot the enemy to lock on.
>>559667269ah okay
>>559667116do more kit runs anon, avoid fights, focus on contracts. there are ways around this, my vault is almost constantly full.look at it this way: You lose everything upon infil, only exfil saves it. you just brought extra help to deal with others.
im sorry i love the fuck out of this game it is so fucking cool
>>559664528>Marathon oldhead>playing the originals since [extremely relatively recently in terms of the originals’ release date]Ok kid
>>559666978When i play league i am paired with other shitters and even if i don't win I'm not losing like I would in a game like this.
>shitters complaining about being shitMost of what the people complaining about the game are. Sad!

>>559667063enjoy being streamer fodder child.
You’ve activated your 3 sets of Classic terminals on Perimeter to get the Durandal voice lines and looted a Warden to get a Cryo access keycard, right?Right anon?

Streamers are dogshit lmaoI was watching Dr Lupo and some other big names play and they’re legitimately retardedAnd Shroud is actually dogshit and struggling in this game because he can’t get away with hacks in this one

>>559666835BASED
>>559667642I didn't do any of that and I got a cryo key on my second run.
>>559668057WtfHowAnd where’d you get those other keys
bros im getting late-game fomo...
Key loot is so good in this game. Omegafaggot teammates always steal my shit when I use them, though, I only manage to grab the golds because of Thief visor.
>>559668142Just snooping around really.Fighting commanders as well.
>>559667642How do I do that.
>>559668193Hold the line, anon. Spring sale is soon.
>>559668236i carried 2 guys, wiping a whole squad and reviving them both, and they each left w/ +6-7k loot and i was at like 2.5like one guy was looting everything while i revived the other, and they'd loot areas im already in or containers im looking in... lol
>>559668236People are starting to realize they want gunmetal and lead and so on.I had a good run hovering up all the low level upgrade mats without issue.
2.5k for the first tier of sponsor boxes seems like good valuehave (you) tried the 4k boxes? thoughts?
>>559667642>and looted a Warden to get a Cryo access keycard, right?in the server slam, yeshavent gotten one to drop in main game though...
>>559668510Tried it.It's cheaper than if you bought all the stuff yourself but I died right away because I'm retarded.
>>559667352>i love the fuck out of this game it is so fucking cool>>559667446>same here.I love it a lot more than Arc
BUNGIE You need to make a way to select and sell multiple items at once what the fuck is this shit
>>559668563i guess ill try one later... i think it takes me like 2?? successful extracts to make 4k liquid, and that might mean 3 losses as well. unless i just rook.i dont understand the prices yet
I can't keep up with all this ARG shit man I really feel like I'm missing out on actual lore and I'm not schizophrenic enough to follow the lines.
I think they hotfixed the pinwheel ship back entrance, there's a one-way invisible wall from the bottom not even the thief drone can go through
>>559668340I revived one of my teammates after winning a 2v1 and they immediately stole all of the heals from the bags and left me at half health while ignoring me when I asked for them to drop some heals. I'm never picking anybody up ever again until I'm done looting corpses.
>>559668757yeah me either just go slow and look at the codex I guess idk
Just had my first moment getting sniped - the lens flare off snipers looks pretty much identical to recruits in an alert/search mode, I had no idea I was looking at someone pointing a sniper at me. Lesson learned I guess.Also the TTK chart is wrong, Longshot one taps green shields with a headshot.
>>559668510The encrypted ones? They're very good, the first one gave me a good blue volt AR and a blue backpack and the second a nice shotgun and a silenced pistol

Yeah I just don’t like PvP anymore. I’ve tried with everyone’s tips and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m a wholesome chungus now and I’m just not built for PvP anymore.Back to Monster Hunter it is.
i want to claim these gifts but vault slots are prime real estate
>>559668934I think him refusing to stream it unless hes being paid to is really damaging to the perception of it.

>>559669293>>559669380and maratards obsess over arc players because there shit game flopped.
the worm loves me..

im still playing marathon but damn this thing heats up my computer like no other game
So getting 9 kills in a match is impossible outside of Trios right? Unless you're actually the reincarnation of Ho Chi Minh and playing Rook and just decimating the GI-I mean Runners.
I love the game, but the player skill level has dropped already with casuals flooding in. They can’t play these games, it’s the same with every single squad based game. Everyone is so fucking stupid. People STILL don’t k ow what the bouncing towers are. They STILL don’t know what the green lasers do. They STILL are shooting ticks. I’m too old for this stuff man.
>>559669954Why are you using squad fill instead of playing with your friends?

>>559667116I don't mind losing stuff if I feel it was a fair fight. I can't stand losing items to someone that was just sitting in a corner hiding or exit camping.I've had times where I'm playing Rook and there are 5 minutes left and the team is just still camping one of the POIs not even looting.

im gonna say it like this, should i start ignoring my randos if they get killed and live on my own the rest of the matchanother 1.5K kit i lose to retards dyingTHIS FUCKING GAME MAN IT AINT FOR MEI suck...
>>559670863My son, time has come for you to choose:A) lose 8k inventoryB) freekit and take someone else's 8k inventory

im trying my first outpost solo and im scaaaaaaaaaaaaaared
>>559670960Freekits are not good enough for that, you would have to be carried. I would have won but it was an awkward spot and there was two in my face. I just bought a 4k kit, one more run then bed, I can't remember the last time I stayed up this late gaming.
>>559671068I just keep freekitting while coming back to stare at my vault like pic related
Remember; Freekits win ambushes not fights.
Genuinely what is the point of the TAD thing anyways? It's not like bots are hard to fucking hear they whistle and whir and their footsteps have completely different cadences and sound profiles compared to runners.
Im starting to lose my fucking patience with this gamewhats the fucking point?WHATS THE FUCKING POINT?YOU DIE YOU GET A SHIT KITYOU GET SOMETHING GOOD? YOU DIEBACK TO THE SAME RAPE MINE
It's insane to me that playing Rook is actively deincentivized due to the tiny vault space (each upgrade has diminishing returns, real cool btw) and inability to complete contracts.At the very least he should be able to do the latter.
>>559671216skill issue
what's the idea behind the deleting scrap meds and making a set of regular meds 2100 creds? i don't raelly understand...

It's a localized Recon ult that has a risk of long as fuck animation to turn it on.>>559671253Like with most the UI this is communicated like shit, but buying meds for credits is generally just not a good idea, bartering for them with materials (top of the armory page) is a much more efficient way of getting them.
>>559671242Rooks very cool but they need to fix him, he needs to be able to do contracts.
>>559671242They need to up vault space or add the stuff that Tarkov does with ammo crates that can just hold 20k rounds of ammo or meds
>>559671363Quite a missed opportunity that they didn't make the DCONs their equivalent of a safe pocket. Not as casual as getting to keep shit since those would definitely be camping sites, but since you can just put the items in and they're gone, more secure than having to exfil.
>>559671381>It can also see enemy players.I did not know this, does it give them a special ping?
>>559671242i haven't played rook but doesn't loot picked up by rook become fucked up and you have to spend some resource to unfuck it?you should also be allowed to bring in your own gear as rook. you're already a solo against trios and his abilities are the worst in the game besides maybe vandal.
>>559670598No it's not. Solo play is literally just gimping yourself. 2 hours of solo play could get you little over half a level up while 3 matches in trio gets you to rank up twice.
>vault value: 47kand yet I genuinely don't feel it at all. this game has the opposite of gear fear, I constantly feel like I don't know why I shouldn't be using anything but free kits. i got a purple backpack yesterday and I'm just thinking about selling it, don't even care about using it (I literally can't store the vast majority of the shit I get from basic green backpacks because the vault space is so tiny). nothing aside from 3-4 guns and patch kits matters.cores? worthless, quite literally, everything is so hyperniche that it's not useful. implants? who gives a shit, most of them are super niche and I never feel the difference in gameplay anyway.it's an extraction shooter where all the loot feels shitty
>>559671528No just his starter shield and backpack (not sure about his upgraded stuff) will break on exfil so you can't circumvent the store by doing Rook runs for free shields and backpacks. You can get items that will make them actually not break but they're fairly rare in a run.
>>559671524Not that I remember, it just marks stuff based on shields I think.
im tired of this game playing either until i get my refund or i request this shit to be deleted from my accountI spetn years hyped for this shit?
>>559671558No you can't say that, you must be an anti-shill.
>>559671558Real.Most of the gear feels like >+0.7% crit chance to bleeding boar-type ennemies when striking from behind under the sunlight.
>>559671381the materials are not that common either. im not harvesting honey to make mega potions in 2026
>>559671649why you lyin' nigga you weren't hyped for shit and you sure as shit ain't playing the game.
>>559671558a lot of the cores and things are actually very strong. my problem is anything i like is too rare to get comfortable using. the 'kits' are basically rng, rare or not
Maps suck. Loot sucks. Guns are ugly. Meme hero abilities. Who is this game for again?
>>559671650>>559671737even green shields (i haven't got any higher tier ones yet) feel like a meme. almost all fights are reliant on who ambushes who and had the better positioning during the ambush, they may as well not be there. a bully smg to the body will kill someone instantly just as fast.i'm seriously considering just selling everything I own outside of meds.
The fire rain on outpost is anti-fun
>>559671558Half this. I just put random shit on the shell to get it out the inventory. >if you punch a UESC junior you get 10+ ability for 30 secondsAlright
>bro the game gets better if you play [past the refund window] I fucking fell for it again bros...
>>559671865i am playing and i suck, thief is cool but i dont get benefiti am an og fan of marathon nigga put respect on my name
>>559671902Found stuff has this weird trial period feeling to it where I know I'm gonna die and lose it, so it being better than baseline just doesn't really matter that much. Progressing the factions and getting credits seems like the way to bring your baseline up to a reasonable point where you actually feel like you could pick a loadout and get good at using it.
>>559671737>>559671558I have also been pretty much selling everything so it's less gear fear and more "Can't bring myself to care about any of the items."
>>559672117But then what remains is a very subpar fps with horrible optimization.
escape will make me cum
Vandal's DSL will make me cum.
>>559671943I like the fire rain, it serves as a sort of pause to the constant slaughter since people tend not to move between buildings while it's going. If you're confident you aren't being stalked, it's a good opportunity to actually go around and loot unmolested or look at your map. There's also a lot of ways you can still traverse during it, like small gaps barely hurt at all.
>>559671231you dont understand i keep playing like i have a death wish and can't even run free kits anymore because my vault is too full
These quests are bad and you're telling me we have to do them again when they wipe us in 3 months
>>559672323You can also just pop a shield charge and it will act as a buffer against the damage ticks.
>>559672323yea, i was only raelly crying about it because... i was playing solo, and i have to fight for my life to exfil through players and bots, and then i got rained on
>>559671558yeah the cores and shit do seem kinda pointless
>Be Reconking>See runner>He gets followed by a UESC bot>Throw my Spider>Start shooting him myself>UESC bot ignores me and keeps tracking that runner>My spider getting closeMFW
STAY STRONG MARATHON BROS
>>559672367yeah, the wipes seem retarded especially when loot has durability that gets lost when someone else loots it so epic guns and their mods will get taken out of the economy on their own.
>>559672620This game is never seein season 3 bro lol
>>559672620If I'm reading correctly the wipes are coinciding with meta mix ups. makes sense for everyone to start again if all the shooters shoot different.On paper at least. Only time will tell if this is a good thing or another patented bungie big brain moment.
I’ve cum to the conclusion that quests that make you move to multiple POIs across the map just cannot be don’t in a random squad. Success rate is abysmal.
Those dogshit quests are so bad theyre even worse than korean mmo's "kill 10000 boars and bring me 1million won''
>doing something irl>game is off>can hear the exfil countdown noise
>>559672969Do you not like breaking glass?
before i do this, where is a DCON on outpost?
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING DERMACHEM PACKSGIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE MEEEEEEE
>>559673079You can hover over the bottom objective right now, does it tell you?
>>559673079on the corners of the map on top of small buildings, you know buildings like the one in the tutorial
>>559671910>Guns are uglyI understand the guns are supposed to be 3D printed style but I still don't understand why they went with...this. Like, they don't match the aesthetics of the rest of the game and they're so ugly. They look ripped right out of Battlebit: Remastered or one of those million Roblox shooters.
>>559673126>>559673138ty
>>559673054Ive been trying to do traxus introduction for like 10 runs nowI just have to go in with free kits
>>559673196Fucking how, I did it in one go in the server slam and one go in the full release.
there's literally no counter for knives. I'm not even exaggerating, they're as good as the shotgun is an free on top of that.all encounters in big buildings end up coming down to who is able to close the distance with a knife and who is dumb enough to have a gun out. it's extreme enough that I'm convinced the knife is going to get nerfed, due to there being zero counterplay
>>559672195I think it's okay but kind of bland. To be honest I mostly am playing because I can't refund and I wanted a break from Arc Raiders. I do think that Embark dropping the ball fairly heavily recently also helped Marathon do better.>>559672620There's still time for them to rethink/rework them. They could always go GBMM and so the high levels aren't wiping the floor with the low levels.
>>559673271Yeah I was fighting a triage and he got me with the knife and I put half an baka mag into himBut he did it really confidently too. Like he didn’t panic.
>>559673319>GBMMThe mm makes no sense to me. I was scrubbing it up on thursday and friday, did a bunch of rook runs and now today has been 100% sweaty teammates running the lobby while I try to keep up.
>>559671229>>559671381It's also an occasional contract objective.
>>559673319Hey this bitch look like the girl from Mischief Makers!
refund denied...now im stuck with this piece of shit gamefuck
which faction gives you access to the jammer consumable?
>>559673196use destroyer. wait until everyone kills each other at the quest objective. wait until you can use ult. then press Q on him. ez enough.
>>559673478I do think there is some sort of matchmaking system. I think it is a small amount of GBMM and SBMM but no ABMM like Arc Raiders has.
>>559673519>picrelsure anon
>>559673079https://tauceti.gg/maps/outpost
trying to figure out knife damagecan anyone confirm how many light swipes with a knife on an un-upgraded rook it takes to kill a UESC recruit?
TTK in this game is lunacy>machine gun starter kit>another player on top of a building>literally get killed by them with a rifle before the aim down sights animation is finished
>>559673054Their shit flipflops back and forth.>Break some glass>boost some biological shit>blow up a dropship>tag some graffitiI love it.
>>559673519It is okay, anon. Lesson learned! Did you used to stream League?>>559673079It's frustrating that the maps are so unreliable. Often it doesn't show the proper icons.Also it could be by design but playing Rook the 'player location' icon never appears on the map. I have to use my current location at the top to figure out where I am in relation to the POIs.
>>559673743The freekit LMG is complete dogshit because unmodded it has a ready time equal to the half-life of Uranium-238.
>>559673743Don't forget even if you do aim at them LMG's are like the one gun that takes 5 seconds to kill another player for some reason.Like sure it has more ammo but that literally doesn't matter when it still takes the same % of a magazine to kill someone that other guns do, it just takes longer.
so far, dying in this game doesn't feel as bad as in Arc... maybe it has something to do with it being first person
>itt: roleplaying uncs crying about the 2 business days ttk for 10 days straight and some random losers spamming player count
I love Marathon and /mg/ schizos
I'm so fucking mad I played this piece of shit and wasted my life on this game FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKthis shit is so fucking boring, im swearing off multiplayer games unless its social and with people you fucking know>>559673784nope i didnt
What's the shortest run you've had?This is probably mine.
>lost a fight because my gun glitched and i couldn't shoot itshit game
I can already start to see the gear difference making a difference on outpost. Blast people a bunch and because they have level 3 shields my gun does nothing.
>>559674016I just had a weird bug where it wouldn't ADS. My gun kept tilting ot the side like I was using one of those side-mounted scopes and it got me killed.
>>559674016that's called being out of ammo
>>559674021but but but I was ASSURED no GUARANTEED that shields were IRRELEVANT and I could kill GOLD shield players with a white SMG!
>>559673949time to leave the thread bro, you keep posting the same shit again and again, we get it, you dont like the game
>>559674132I knocked some dude with gold shields playing as Rook. I died to his teammates, but you can obviously do it.
>>559673995~30 seconds. Spawn in on Dire Marsh, run outside the building, get shot in the back.>>559674132I think it's one of those situations where each step doesn't make a huge difference but when you compare the bottom gear to the top it does.
>>559674132No shield in the game will save you from getting magdumped in the face.More and more shields give you more flexibility to take strays while you're moving around and stay in the fight.
>>559674158nah im gonna complain like a lot
>figuring out how absurd HMGs are when you actually use the shieldMan I slept far too hard on MGs. It's so weird that an ability to core to the weapon requires having just any mod in a given slot, and that it doesn't mention the ability on the weapons themselves.
>>559673995Less than a minute thanks to the instakill on North Relay.
>>559674312Flashbacks to pre-nerf blackbeard in Siege.
>>559673079They're SUPPOSED to appear on your map when you need one, it's just really fucky and only works sometimes.
>>559674312It doesn't help that the game gives you zero indication it's even a thing unless you read the item description. There's no "Z" prompt for example when you're actually in game doing anything.
>>559674356SIMPLY OUTMANEUVER OR USE C4
>>559674021there's level 50+ running around on maps with thermal silenced snipers and purple shields. you do not stand a chance
>>559674397There isn't? There's one for the flip-scopes and the charge-up precision rifle
>>559674132>with a white SMGWeapon (color) rarity doesn't actually affect its raw DPS. Hell it doesn't even change its value nearly as much as using rarer/worse weapons within a category. It's functional but it's a weird way they marked it all out.
>>559674397I only found out it existed when I ziplined up to someone I'd knocked on a roof to blast them with my WTSR, only to find a big yellow shield waiting for me that shrugged off my blast.Pretty memorable though.
>>559674446>>559674397The z prompt is on the shield attachment which you need for it to function. In theory this could be because they planned other forms of actives for the LMG (deployment, maybe? though that wouldn't really fit) but afaik it's only the same yellow shield in the game rn.
>schema have only 3 useswhat is even the point of a blueprint system then???
>>559674691Aren't schemas cheaper than buying the pre-kitted guns from the traders? It's prolly really good if you have lots of mod pieces
I wish the game wasn't so killy. I don't need carebear servers like Arc Raiders but I want to explore and figure out the quests on my own but there's so many players and the game is so killy at times that it doesn't even feel worth the bother. Like you can't throw a rock on Outpost without hitting 4 teams let alone actually get to the quest objective.
>>559674663im ignoring my ftm """boyfriend""" so i cant even get fucking laid ive got nothing better to do than bitch about WASTING MY LFIE ON THIS FUCKING GAME
>>559674768Solo can be pretty chill if you're a bit more careful. Avoid fights if you can all avoid it, knife/silencer individual recruits, and most importantly just don't sprint unless you absolutely have to. That will result in you being able to hear an enemy before they hear you like 9 times out of 10.>outpostYeah that one is the CQC deathmap.
>>559674780Lyre?
Thief is the greatest thing ever. All of the best parts of all of the best shells, and no non-cooldown mobility is mitigated by the fact that you run at mach 1 with the agility core. Looting is so fucking easy.
>>559674997hi! thats me
>>559675085Fucking unbelievable, inescapable. Why the fuck are you even playing this? You don't even play video games.
i just got extract camped for the first time (trios)... except they opened up when we were on the exfil and i got out. my squadmates didnt
>>559675201Probably going for the same exfil rather than camping it explicitly.
>>559673743I grabbed one LMG and it was a total fucking death sentence because despite only having a 40 round magazine it has a reload speed that is insanely fucking slow, so it's basically just a big AR with really slow ADS and reload.
Me when I see a Triage in solos
im watching this dude on twitch and his trios are killing everyone in dire marsh by standing on the roof in the middle of the map with thermal snipers. actually pretty funny
>Ran into active extra to bag a sneaky knife kill>The second I crossed the threshold it finished>left my two teammate behind:(
>>559675151in a way im like one of this site's protagonists like you have to realize im kinda one of the protagonists of this whole websitei play videogames, who are you anyways
>>559675076it's been my favorite shell as well, but i sometimes feel like a liability in 3v3s...
Outpost is so extremely violent that I actually don't know what to expect from Cold Storage if it's supposed to be an even harder experience
>>559675425It's not so bad if you're marking enemies with the drone and getting flanks with your grapple. Also, claymore memes.
I just want my exp. Why even bother playing solo when you get so little exp and faction rep? I still can't reach rep level 12 for CyAc just to increase the vault by only 6 rows. Meanwhile those squad niggas just run around blasting and shooting without thinking about any of that and are already level 40-50 with maxed out stashes
>>559675493OH, that's insane
this game is so fucking shit man fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkki dont even have drugs to cope
>>559675076There are few things more satisfying than stealing some dude's purple loot and then not even fighting him.
>>559675440Survival horror sneaking and suppressed weapons, lest you attract the Compiler
>>559675706>i dont even have drugs to copeI'll bust in your mouth when I catch you off guard, you can cope swallowing that
>>559644090Watching anime will make me God
>>559675325see >>559674312They exist for the shield which any random green shield aug will give them. With it you'll win any straight up 1v1 but the LMG is dogshit otherwise.
Do you guys think finishing the ARG will unlock cryo earlier than mid month?
SEKGEN SPONSORED KIT SUCKSGIVE ME MY BULLY SMG
>>559675662>I just want my exp. Why even bother playing solo when you get so little expI do not care about maxing levels. I want to sabotage the extract, kill.
>>559675761fuck off im so pissed off i used to be hyped at this SHITEand now...its trash
>>559675671I don't know what the math is, but at least in my experience, 2 claymores was OHKO'ing blue shields. So it's kind of broken, I really hope they don't patch it out because it's so much fun to do.
HOLD THE FUCKING LINE BROS
>>559675865I'll add you back on Discord and we can play Marathon together as long as you're not all weird about getting on VC with your faggy accent.
>>559675863Based arachnechad
people keep suiciding after i kill them in solos so i cant get my 10 execute quest done...i do the same though
>>559675493Oh, good ol' russian-ukrainian tactics finally ended up being useful in games. Slavic gore from telegram taught people well.
>>559675865>>559675953I'll bend you both and punish those discord butts

>>559675953jeanne? why are you even playing this shit?you told me you werent interestedalso we are not getting back together, just ever since i blocked your ass you have been getting cucked to extreme levels lmao
I'm trying to hold the line but 99% of my games last less than 3 minutes with me getting deleted and I don't think I can take much more of this shit.I'm still only level 9 after playing all day since launch.
This game so shit posters already trying to start ERPing 1 thread in LOL
>Press queue >3 minute long queue>3 minutes black screen while the game loads.>ANOTHER 3 minute loading screen showing the face/bees.>30 seconds showing player cards.Let me actually play the fucking game!
>>559654278>Gray-Green-Blue-PurpleWhat is the origin of this item rarity color coding? I've seen it in so many games.
>>559676160BE PATIENTplay in trios and follow your boys like youre special forces. do not make noise, melee whatever you can. do not sprint near/outside of buildings/hotspots. now all you have to do is point gun and shoot.
>>559676245i think it was diablo 1, but those specific colors were probably wow
>>559676226Now shut up and watch this moth
>>559676016You have like 5 seconds to do it. Just rush them.
im queued in w/ a level 36. anyone higher than that?
>>559671558Yea, that's the issue I had in playtests all the way to launch.Cool to pick up items and shit, loot makes my brain go high and all, but apart from just being able to loot stuff I guess (or kill people a little easier), there's no real point to the cores/implants.Shields are obviously the most important but anything else I could ignore.
>>559676473hard when i down them from ~50m away, even when using grapple to gapclose
>>559669867For me, performance has been surprisingly good. A lot better than Deadlock in this regard.
>>559676245It's more colourblind friendly for more common conditions out of the box, if that's not enough you can enable colourblind options on top of that. It's something that disproportionately affects males, like, it's 20 times more common in men and affects at least 10% of the male population, it's even more common among gamers.
>>559676627I can see colors just fine. I'm just curious about the origin of that type of color coding.
bake new bread
It's not much, but it's honest work
>carry a trio>after I die in like the third team battle they refuse to kill the one member of the enemy trio left>run and extract without reviving me when I had an entire inventory of shit>later one retard goes on mic and starts babbling about how he and his useless freekit buddy "don't know me"this game is going to be dead in a month because shit like this is flatly not fun
>>559674691only way to buy weapons the vendors never have, like Repeater, so you at least get a couple runs guaranteed. I assume that's their way of gating the 'better' guns.
>>559676627Should Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly look basically the same? Theres subtle differences are the ends in gradients.
>>559676837haha nigga check your eyes
>>559676159Just because you're fucking some smelly FTM now doesn't mean I'm cucked.Also I never said I wasn't interested in this game, we never even spoke about it retard.
>>559672367My guess would be that there will be different quests every season. It's not like they're hard to make after all, some of them don't even have the voice acted intro/outro parts.
>>559676794i want to play rook but i dont want to play as non rooks to grind missions for my rook
I don't wanna brag or nuthin but Vulcan just upgraded my status to "Preferred". Yeeeep, we're basically dating now.
>>559676894>>559676159unbelievably cringe, go back to /tttt/ you two and stop shitting up the thread
>>559676917The thing is that you don't really need gear as rook, especially if you head towards wherever arms lockers usually spawn on a map and/or throw yourself at gunfire until you can loot someone.A lot of its advantage is also just coming late in the match and being able to walk through places with relative impunity. People tend not to loot everything and there's usually some good stuff left. Most of my value there was traxus seeds and a blue ammo-backpack schema.
>>559676837They're both forms of red-green color blindness so they're going to be similar. There's no way to truly know what it actually looks like to people anyway so these are just approximations of what people can typically discern.
I love this game already, i just wish I had more people to play with.
>>559677042>People tend not to loot everythingThe layers go deeper then that too. People usually have to pick and choose unless they're running around with purple backpacks, so there's obviously something that will get left behind in favour of something better. Another Runner's trash is a Rook's treasure in such a case.
The good:>The minimum player count went up yesterday.The bad:>The maximum player count went down yesterday.So not as many players are playing but we don't seem to be losing as many.
It is morally and more importantly financially correct to leave your teammates to die provided you can finish your mission.
>>559676796It's really kind of insane there's no duo's and it feels like the biggest problem in this game. If most of the trio queue wasn't duos looking for a third it'd work so much better. And I say this as someone usually playing as a duo, where getting a third that is just silent and runs off alone is basically a run-killer.
i just had a 3v3 go on like 5 minutes in close quarters (they had 2 triage so we lost)
>>559676894You been having fun?
>>559677282I feel like duos would also feel a little better for PVP. You still have someone to revive you but you don't have that rat that runs away and waits 10 minutes to come back and rez their teammates. (Honestly there needs to be a way to prevent dead-dead people from getting revived.)
You know, the Thief vent exploit wasn't even that good. Getting in through destroyed wing on solo is easy as fuck, and nobody is bothering to attempt it on solos so you get way more loot for free because so much more is accessible through that route. PvE is a nothingburger if you have that invis on kill implant.
I'm genuinely retarded and only found two out of four lights for the destroyed wing entrance so I just gave up
>>559677393I just find the PVE to be annoying as fuck. All of the enemies are just bullet sponges that deal shit tons of damage for no reason unless you're cheesing it.
>>559677372Kind of, solos is kind of shit since you have to play an entirely different game. However 3 mans with randoms have been fine when we're on mic.
>>559677150>>559676837there's both -anomalies and -anopias in the chart, anything with -anomaly is a reduced sensitivity to a colour because you might have fewer cones that sense a certain colour or they're somewhat fucked up, anything with -anopia is a complete blindness to that colour because you don't have any cones that sense a certain colour, so there's some overlap in conditions result in a reduced/abnormal sensitivity to colours, especially for the red-green bunch
It genuinely feels like the game is just horribly optimized because the graphics settings basically don't affect my framerate at all.

>take 3 minutes to do my loadout>spend 5 minutes in queue>die in 2 minutesI dont like it.>inb4 Go slower. Drink a negroni. Drink two. Slice your veins because your prositute wife humiliated you. Enjoy a cigarette in a vietnamese garage.
>>559678119conclave is dead though
I'm genuinely doing full geared runs just to dump shit from my stash because my credits are capped and my stash is full.
>>559678408It has the same issue as siege had back in the day. It's very hard to learn maps and practice shooting when you die 10 seconds after start of the round. They need to introduce some form of a casual deathmatch ASAP or it's gonna be even worse than 30k players
i normally do well... but i just had a match where my teamates got every kill in our 3 squad wipes
>>559677745>want to play the game as just scavBizarre thing to want. It's an equivalent mechanic to a free kit; it's a way to get stuff and technically play without bringing anything in.
>>559678576credits cap at ~10mil bro. upgrade your shit
>>559678576The stash is way too fucking small even with upgrades.It feels like fucking dogshit exiling succesfully and being forced to throw things away.The whole point of these games is to collect items, I don't know why they want to restrict that so much.
>>559678536it was never alive though
random queueing with anything other than triage is like a 50/50 on auto losing
>>559678681arc raiders was the same. fucking normie dev dweebs trying to stop me from living like a warlord
>>559678630its the most unique thing about Marathon to me, blending in with enemies like an invader in a souls game is just cool.
>>559678681I've got 20 rank rewards I don't want to claim because my stash is capped.
>>559678728Essentially. You get done by bots unless you have x6green shields and hp items of each.
>>559678860Exact same situation here, the game absolutely fucking THROWS gear at you outside of matches with faction upgrades and other rewards but refuses to let you keep it.Just another example of contradictory design in Marathon I guess.
>>559678874i suspect theyll make meds easier to purchase or more common to find. it doesnt make sense for triage to feel so mandatory
>>559678408I'm literally in Australia and I don't even have to spend five minutes in queue at 4am.>I dislike doing loadout and shitYou can unironically just sell everything that isn't an upgrade mat and buy green/blue kits if you want. It's pretty viable in this.
>>559678630Really it sounds like they just want an upgraded free kit every time they play.
rook gaming is fun as hell when you can dismantle a squad one by one
>>559678990imagine wanting to play a game without doing inventory management chores
>>559678681I feel that way about every container in the game. The stash is way too small and even with backpacks you can barely pick anything up. (Which I guess doesn't matter since you couldn't store it anyways with a full stash.)
>>559678990i just want to play as rook but the game wants me to play as other characters to upgrade him and playing rook is designed to just get gear for other characters
>>559678941They already announced changes to make meds and ammo more common. Also free kits will start with more ammo.>>559678606I was actually thinking earlier that if they made a TDM/SDM mode in the vein of Tarkovs Arena it could be super fun. Especially if they themed it as a corpo war.
>>559678804That's literally how scavs have always been in Tarkov but it's not an active and they looked like AI scavs.
>>559679041Every group of Trios I find as Rook is attached to the fucking hip so I just lose
>>559678606Yep.I know i'm below average, i dont mind grinding to learn but how the fuck am i supposed to learn anything? 1 gunfight (that i lose) every 20 minutes aint it.
can i not actually tap shift to stop sprinting? is there a setting or... (other than not using toggle)and not being able to sprint and swap weapons feels terrible
We need item containers for the vault like how tarkov has
>>559679470no one else has the balls
>>559679470Many have been saying this (me)
>>559679421i got a little lucky maybe>sneak up on the sniper of the trio who's ~30m from his team, backstab him then finish him with the pistol>take his entire loadout and reposition>snipe one of his teammates and finish him from afar, dont bother looting because hes in a bad spo>disguise as uesc and steal their extract
>>559679470sell your shit
>>559679249>They already announced changes to make meds and ammo more common.It's really not necessary. People just don't want to buy ammo, and at the same time they'll complain about not wanting to sell anything.>Also free kits will start with more ammo.Pretty funny
>>559678215link pls
>>559679589NOOOOI MUST WHOARD
Does the Rook's disguise actually make you resemble a UESC to other players or is it just to deaggro the bots?
>>559679642>Pretty funnyPretty funny that people were gaslit into thinking there was an ammo problem when in reality that's just an intended downside of the bully, being otherwise the best free kit gun.I hit post too early because I was writing between raids.
>>559679680Hoarding is literally the only objective.
People are still pushing always too hard in this game, they’re moving around like it’s fucking Halo Campaign. I can’t deal with the random teammates on Dire they’re fucking shooting across the open field at UESC bots and ticks. What the fuck happened on the span of two days for the players to be dropping off in skill this much?

>>559679827It's the weekend, anon. Match quality always drops on the weekend for any game, because the gamer dads are not working and the kids are not at school.
>spawn next to AI uplink in solos>fuck it, might as well go in, there's good stuff there right?>kill some guy>get jumped by a third guy who sprinted to this fucking place before I can healThis has happened 3 times in a row nowWhy do autists love that stupid fucking red building so much? Is there something specific there?
>literally seeing ZERO players in my rook runsThis is really gay
I die so much i dont even care about looting anymore, i'm completly mindbroken.
this is the last thread btw the game is dead there's no need for another discussion session
>>559680006im suprised all players dont run to algae gardens. people love to gank there. i just want some fucking duct tape, but hauler and algae is pvp fart sniffer central
>>559680436where am i gonna post all the graphs going down tho
>>559680459Biz, the prime thirdie board
>>559680539i have never once considered going to /biz/ and i shan't now (i am white)
>>559680454Algae's just so rough because it's the middle of the map. It's a lot less bad in solos than trios for that reason.For some reason a bunch of people seem to focus AI uplink and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.
>>559677184just add people ive posted my tag several times but only gotten one add. some anon set up something that isnt discord. but seems somehow worse than discord
RIP Marathon (2026)you had a good run, rest in piss
>>559680459just as usual, there are many /v/ threads
>try rook on outpost twice>never encounter another playerI still don't even know how to get into the pinwheel
I'm prepared for another day of blasting
make a new thread i need to laugh at marasissies some more
Solo pinwheel runs are insane. Doesn't seem like it spawns golds, though, I assume you need keys for that. 20k exfils easy.
>>559680909do you need special keys, or just bring a lockbox can possibly be a big payday. i need to scout it with rook or free loadout. i havent been sleeping good since launch day. just that pure hell where you need to sleep but you fucking cant
>>559680991>>559680991
I feel like if you spawn at 10m as Rook you basically can't player hunt cause most teams have fucked off by that point
we downed 2 players and my two teamates ran over to loot (3rd one still alive)... they couldnt hear me on comms or something. i got jumped by the last guy and they... kept looting??? and he killed all of us... they died just lootingwhat the FUCK WHAT THE FUCKive never seen anything like it
